Scott Harner, the Ocean City Police Department’s head of traffic enforcement. “It doesn’t take a collision reconstructionist to tell you what’s going to happen if a truck full of kids has to stop suddenly.” New state traffic laws, which went into effect the first of this

(Oct. 18, 2013) Ocean City government could soon be ready to solicit bidders to conduct a strategic tourism study, a long-awaited project whose urgency was highlighted this week amidst the apparent divide in the resort’s business community, and debate over who should be involved in the subsequent discussion. “Given the significance of the initiative, we should go to RFP now to find the right facilitator,” said City Manager David Recor. “In the meantime, we need to identify our stakeholders.” What exactly such a study would entail was itself a matter of discussion, but would in theory provide a definitive answer as to where the city’s sole industry is heading, what sort of crowds it wants, and how it’s going to get them here. “You still have a lack of consensus,” said Greg Shockley, owner of the Shoreham Hotel and Shenanigan’s Bar & Grill, at this week’s Tourism Commission meeting. “That’s what you need to figure out, is who you want involved in the process.” Shockley, as part of the state’s tourism commission, was an integral See TOURISM on Page 4A

Worcester County one step closer to Showell feasibility study CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) The Worcester County Board of Education is one step closer to completing its Showell Elementary School feasibility study after its Oct. 15 meeting. Now, only five firms are in the running to lead the project that will determine whether renovating and rebuilding or constructing an entirely new building will better suit the needs of the school. “Our current facility definitely has some deficiencies,” Worcester County schools’ Coordinator of Public Relations and Special Programs Barbara Witherow said. “The goal is to have a school that can meet the needs of our students.” The building is “taxed beyond its capacity,” Witherow said, explaining that the shear number of students outsizes the school’s facilities — so much that the entire second grade learns out of portable classrooms. Other problems include the use of non-traditional classroom spaces, such as storage rooms, for teaching, she said. A panel will interview the firms on Nov. 12, basing its top choice on several factors, including cost, past experience with similar projects and whether the firms employ local contractors, Witherow said. It will give its recommendation to the Board of Education at its next meeting on Nov. 19. The winning firm will begin assessing

Showell Elementary in January and complete the project in the late spring, Witherow said. Also at the meeting, the board heard a presentation on last year’s student test scores, which included the Maryland School Assessment (MSA). “That news was really good,” Witherow said. In the grades tested, third through eighth, in the MSA, “we increased or maintained our achievement from last year, which is not true of the entire state,” said Stephanie Zanich, Local Accountability Coordinator for Worcester County Public Schools. The state’s testing slump came partly because Maryland is transitioning to teaching based on the goals of the Common Core State Standards, a set of federally set benchmarks aimed to prepare students for college and the workplace. “In the switch to looking at Common Core, we’re teaching one curriculum and testing another,” Zanich said. “Our students did exceptionally well having a new curriculum, yet understanding enough about the curriculum to do well on MSA. In fact, we were first in the state in both reading and math, grades three through eight combined.” And at the county’s high schools, graduation rates are among the highest in the state, she said. However, there are still gaps the

SHOT

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

James Curtis of Berlin gets a free flu shot at Atlantic General Hospital on Wednesday from Courtney Dennis of Bishopville, a nursing student at Wor-Wic Community College.

Tourism Commission divided over next step in promoting OC part of Maryland’s statewide strategic tourism planning process earlier this year, and has provided insight into the possibility of the city conducting a study for itself. The town’s own strategic planning initiative, done over this past winter, calls for some type of comprehensive tourism analysis as part of the resort’s short-term goals. “The state’s plan is pretty broadbased,� said city Tourism Director Donna Abbott. “You really need to find out from your stakeholders what it is you really want.� By all accounts, the summer of 2013 saw drastic highs and lows, with most businesses reporting a slow June. Some were able to recoup in July and August, and others were not, creating a greater disparity of success than the resort has seen in previous seasons. “You have two rails, and when one is moving, the other is stopped,� Shockley said, noting that the matter has come up frequently at meeting of the resort’s Tourism Advisory Board. The city has often tossed around new initiatives to tap into emerging or under-utilized markets of visitorship, such as eco-tourism, youth sports, and other niches. Some officials and business leaders have suggested that the resort pursue such a targeted approach. “If we want to market to, say, ecotourism, we can just ask Andy [Malis, of MGH Advertising] to pull together some data on how best we can do it,� said Michael James of the Carousel Group. “Andy’s information will help us af-

terwards,� Shockley said. “That’s something that needs to be talked about fundamentally, whether you want to stay event-based or go back to a family resort.� “You’re never going to please everyone,� James said. “It seems like a shotgun approach.� Moreover, the key question – before even starting such an effort – would be how inclusive the decisionmaking process would be, and how urgent it truly is. “I think we would be best to take some time and look at the state’s study and see what we think we can get out of it,� said Mayor Rick Meehan. “The people who can determine that are already in this room.� “Putting it off another year is another year of ‘crisis management,’ of stringing things together without a plan,� Shockley said. “I really think time is of the essence.� Even if the city were to solicit a coordinator for the study immediately, a selection would likely not be made until spring, with the study not completed until well after the 2014 season, Shockley noted. The city is already beginning planning with MGH for 2014 marketing. “If you say ‘this is how we’re going to go after it,’ we can go do it for you,� said Malis, whose company will hold the city’s contract for outside marketing and media advertising through next year. “You come to your ad agency and say ‘this is what we want to say, go say it.’ My thought is that you need some outside help to determine what that is.�

Fine of $50 proposed for riding in back of pickups month, require all rear-seat passengers in a vehicle to be wearing seat belts. Maryland previously only required front seat passengers and those under 16 to be belted. However, the law does not reference those who are not riding in a seat at all. Thus, the city ordinance now being floated will go one step further, by declaring it “unlawful for a person to ride in or allow another person to ride in an unenclosed area of a motor vehicle except in a seat and with a seat belt in use.” The proposed policy, Harner noted, is taken directly from the same law which has been in effect in Anne Arundel County for some years. “This is not precedent-setting,” Harner said. “It’s been in enforcement in Anne Arundel and a few other places, many of which are where we draw visitors from.” Violation of the ban would result in a $50 fine, per Harner’s proposal. While the ordinance is by no means set in stone – and will have to go through several readings before the entire city council before passage – the response from the Police Commission to the idea was generally favorable. “In all probability, this would eliminate the use of truck beds [as passenger space], at least until someone catches on with something else,” said commission chair Doug Cymek. Council President and commission Continued from Page 1A

Before

member Lloyd Martin recounted that, on a recent vacation, he had ridden in the back of a pickup which had seats and harnesses mounted in it specifically for the purpose of sight-seeing. “If people want to do it, there’s a safe way to do it,” Martin said. Even if drivers with unenclosed, unrestrained passengers were operating safely, their passengers could still be in undue danger from other motorists. In some instances, OCPD Capt. Kevin Kirstein noted, trucks have been rear-ended, causing them to lurch forward and knock riders out onto the car that hit them. “You don’t even have to be doing anything wrong for this [policy] to protect

you,” Kirstein said. Two exceptions would likely be made to the ordinance – one for government employees performing specific duties, such as placing traffic cones or riding on trash trucks, and another for city-approved events on closed courses, such as parades. “We have had a great deal of issues with behavior in the backs of trucks as well,” Harner noted. “I think this would help with some of the disorderly conduct.” “I don’t think the parents exactly know that that’s what [their children] are doing when they come down here,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “I would rather be proactive about it now than reactionary if something bad happens.”

Hydrant flushing to begin Oct. 20 (Oct. 18, 2013) The Town of Ocean City’s Public Works Department will begin conducting the fall hydrant flushing of the water system beginning Oct. 20. The hydrant flushing, which is done bi-annually, will progress from south to north, beginning on South First Street and covering several blocks per day. Public works personnel are scheduled to perform the hydrant flushing throughout the early morning hours. However, circumstances might require those times to change.

“Your Hard Surface Expert”

“I was ready to sell my place, but now it’s like I bought a new home!” Grace Masten - Ocean City

Residents and businesses are reminded that after flushing there might be a slight discoloration of the water. This is not harmful and will dissipate after a short time. To clear pipes, run cold water for several minutes until the water runs clear. The completion of this project is expected to be before Nov. 1. For questions or concerns about the hydrant flushing in your area, please contact the Public Works Water Department at 410-5248388.

Commission discusses ways to help with show crowd control Mayor Meehan suggests working with owners who host events on property ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Oct. 18, 2013) If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Or at least supply them with trash cans. Despite obvious dismay over the fact that the main event takes place outside of town - and is thus beyond the city’s control - the resort’s Police Commission discussed this week ways in which it can help crowd control related to the annual H2O International car show. “I think we need to work with the owners who allow this event on their property, or host this event in some capacity, and make sure they’re prepared to do so,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. “If we have to bring in additional resources, we should look into doing that, as we do for bike week,” said Ocean City Police Department Chief Ross Buzzuro. Every year, in increasing numbers, Volkswagen and Audi enthusiasts flock to the resort during the last week of September to attend the H2O International – or H2Oi, as it is commonly abbreviated by patrons. While the show itself takes place only

Some of these saw a dip and say ‘I bet they’ll gather here,’ and in business due to the noise and traffic you’ll probably be right. I think we need to start doing that.” hassle, it was noted.

Even if the city were able to identify ahead of time where H2Oi-related gatherings were happening, they may not have the ability to enforce trespassing or littering laws unless the property owners themselves complained. “If [the owners] told us in advance that they don’t’ want these guys drinking and hanging out on their property, and we put up notices to that effect…it would give us more authority to chase people out even if management isn’t there,” said OCPD Capt. Mike Colbert. But even if not prepared for the refuse or congregation problem, the city lost no ground in traffic enforcement. According to OCPD data, officers conducted 1,245 traffic stops from Thursday, Sept. 26 to Sunday, Sept. 29. This is 62.5 percent more traffic enforcement than the 766 stops done over the same span in 2012. By comparison, the Spring Cruisin’ and OC BikeFest events netted 867 and 825 stops this year, respectively. Prior to 2012, data shows that Cruisin’ netted far more stops than either BikeFest or the H2Oi. “We need to be prepared and start treating this like we treat the other events on this list,” Meehan said.

Fog blankets the area Thursday morning, but sunshine managed to break through the clouds over Ocean City.

Traffic stops bolstered during H2O International weekend over last year. However, the vast majority of these calls, 1,786 in total, were officer-initiated. Citizen complaints accounted for 421 calls, a modest increase over the 361 during the same span in 2012. But this number is not out of line with any other busy weekend. For instance, the Thursday-through-Sunday span before Labor Day, Aug. 29 to Sept. 1, 2013, saw 506 citizen calls. The total number of arrests during the H2Oi this year was 53, versus 51 for BikeFest and 25 for Cruisin’. This is a decrease from last year, which saw 78, 52, and 65 arrests for the three events, respectively. Notably, the H2Oi period had less than half the number of DUIs – seven – as BikeFest, which saw 18. The organizer of the H2Oi show itself, Jay Shoup, has been amenable to helping the town even though he is not responsible for what goes on outside Fort Whaley, police noted. Via social media Continued from Page 6A

and the event’s website, Shoup is able to convey messages from the town to the event’s attendees. “Were in constant contact with him and he’s working with us,” said Lt. Scott Harner, noting that ideas have been floated for privately-organized clean-up teams and other solutions. The fundamental issue, however, is that H2Oi visitors in the resort are constantly on the move, given that there is no single event in town that draws them but rather the prospect of driving around and being seen on “the strip.” “I had to explain to a number of people that we don’t really have a ‘strip,’” Meehan said. “We basically have one road that serves all the commercial and residential properties, which makes it difficult.” Still, Meehan said, he had received a number of calls and emails from H2Oi enthusiasts letting him know of potential problem areas and asking how they could help to mitigate the impact of those who were being disruptive.

Pay-to-play listings out, but ads still possible for city tourism site Commission grapples with having advertisers buy into publicly-backed web page ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) Although the idea of charging extra for upgraded listings on ococean.com appears to be dead in the water, the city is still looking into the prospect of selling advertising on its municipal tourism Website. But the philosophical question therein – whether the city should allow market competition to dictate the use of a taxpayer-funded Web site – remains essentially the same. “In terms of having people pay for

space, not everyone will be equal,” said Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association Executive Director Susan Jones. “Which I think presents a problem when you’re talking about something that’s publicly-funded.” At a previous meeting of the city’s Tourism Commission, the idea had been floated to expand ococean.com – Ocean City’s official tourism Web site – by selling ad space as well as expanded listings. Currently, a $200 membership to the town’s Convention and Visitors’ Bureau (CVB) gets hospitality businesses a listing on ococean.com’s categorized, searchable index. The listing features a limited number of photos, text, and links to go directly to the businesses’ website. But some businesses have expressed interest in more com-

prehensive listings with additional features, and would be willing to pay for them. Subsequently, the commission asked that a survey be sent around to the HMRA, CVB, and the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce to gauge interest in the prospect, which apparently garnered a strong negative reaction from the groups due to fairness issues. “Their respective boards were really not in favor of it,” reported Tourism Director Donna Abbott at last week’s Tourism Commission meeting. Instead, listings on ococean.com will be expanded and have additional features - such as photo galleries, multiple special deal tabs with links, and expanded amenities sections – but will remain at a single flat rate for all CVB members. However, the city still has an apparent desire to sell ad space on ococean.com. Under a proposal which the commission requested from MGH Advertising – the marketing agency that maintains the city’s site – the town could likely put a single banner ad on the home page of ococean.com and four blocks of advertising on the interior pages. Rates for the spaces would depend on how many ads were being rotated through a single space, but would av-

erage roughly $10 per 1,000 viewer impressions. If a single buyer were to take the whole homepage in a sponsorship deal, the city could likely charge up to $20,000 for the deal. The interior pages would net an estimated $74,000, with some fluctuation depending on if there was a single buyer or multiple. “There are a substantially larger number of views on the interior pages, just the way the site is set up,” said Alison Fiorelli of MGH. “The few places we could have [the ads] are not overly cluttered,” said MGH President Andy Malis. “Most of the stuff up there that are our own promotions look like ads as well.” However, while MGH buys plenty of advertising on the city’s behalf, it is not in the business of selling. “You’d have to figure out how to sell these things if that’s what you want to do,” Malis said. But the fundamental issue with selling ads, Jones noted, remained the same as with the expanded listings. Those with more money would be able to pay for a greater presence on the site, which would be fine if the city was a private business. But as a publiclyfunded entity, it should be representing all of its constituents equally. “Do we allow the smaller guys to

City would use ad revenues to fund further tourism initiatives continue to be trampled, or do we provide at least one level playing field for them?” Jones posited. “Some of the small guys might not want to advertise, and that’s up to them,” said Todd Ferrante of Park Place Jewelers, who had initially suggested the expanded listings. “But I don’t think it’s an unfair competition.” One way to eliminate this conflict, Malis suggested, would be to sell the ad space in conjunction with sponsorships of town-sanctioned events, and not to just anyone with the money to do so. “It’s not really my purview, but if you want some limit as to who gets the exposure, that would be a way to do it,” Malis said. “Plus, if you combine it with something else you’re already doing, you wouldn’t have to hire a separate salesperson to sell the Website.” “I think the theory is what we need feedback on,” Abbott agreed. “Then we can come back and look at price.” Under Maryland law, the city is barred for developing any kind of regulatory scheme where constituents are charged more for a government service than the service costs the government – unless that service is a separate proContinued from Page 8A

prietary function that sustains itself, such as water service. “If we raised money with it, it would have to go back into our marketing dollars to continue to cover tourism costs,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. Despite the objections of the city’s business associations to the plan for paid listings, Meehan – who had previously supported the idea – was still skeptical. “We’re not reinventing the wheel here,” he said, noting that that the Chamber itself charges an extra $50 for premium memberships with a more prominent spot in its directory. “I pay the extra $50, because it’s certainly worth it,” Meehan said.

City changing to self-insured health program for 2014 renewal Assuming own risk will save town over $5M with new ACA fee incentives ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) As health insurance costs continue to rise rapidly, the Town of Ocean City heard, and approved, a proposal this week to save over a half-million dollars in 2014 by adopting a self-insured payment method for its employee health coverage. As with many post-2008 cost-saving methods, the self-insured model will involve the town assuming the dynamic risk and reward of its employees’ heath, instead of the insurance company taking it

on. “On a fully-insured product, the carrier retains all of the risk,” explained Rosanne Calzetta of Bolton Partners, the city’s health insurance and benefits consultant. “They charge you something for that risk, and in good years they keep anything they don’t spend on health care, and in bad years they can cover some of that extra cost.” Under a fully-insured plan, the city would pay a flat rate to its insurance provider in order for that provider to cover the cost of any health care claims employees make, regardless of the net cost. The rate charged would be based on the insurer’s expectation of how much care the employee base will need, and naturally rises as the overall cost of medical care in the country increases. Under a self-insured plan, the city

would simply pay its employee’s medical claims directly, using the insurer’s estimate to determine how much money it should set aside to do so. If the year’s claims turned out to be worth less, the city would keep the excess in an account for use in later years, which could be invested if it grows large enough. If the claims turned out to be worth more, the city would be on the hook for the liability, but only to a certain point. “CareFirst [the city’s provider] does have what I would call a hybrid arrangement, midway between fully-insured and self-insured,” Calzetta said. “The difference is that it’s not open-ended. There is a cap.” The CareFirst plan recommended by Bolton would have a five percent call obligation, meaning that the town would be liable for all claims up to 105 percent of its original cost estimate. Any liability over this amount would roll over and be tacked on to the next year, and the claims paid out by the insurer in the interim. “We have a number of clients who have been on this arrangement for over 10 years,” Calzetta said. “Most of them are keeping two years’ worth of that five percent call obligation in their accounts so they don’t have any budget shocks if their claims are more than they expect.” However, the town’s claims experience has been relatively good, meaning it stands a good chance of building up

a surplus. In Calzetta’s example, pulled from a Maryland school district which uses the same plan, the system only experienced a loss in three out of the last 10 years. As a result, it was able to build and keep a $3.5 million surplus account for future use. “You don’t get that now. CareFirst keeps it,” Calzetta said. Further, paying to be fully insured also comes with extra ancillary costs, which are on the rise due to federal legislation. The Affordable Care Act – popularly known as Obamacare – adds additional taxes and fees for fully insured plans. This, in theory, encourages large employers to take responsibility for their insurance risk themselves, rather than allowing insurance companies to profit from it. “A big chunk of why the cost is higher comes in fees that will kick in with the ACA,” Calzetta said. Under the self-insured model, the city’s claims expectancy for 2014 will be 6.1 percent higher than in 2013. But if the town was fully insured, it would be paying a premium 7.6 percent higher. Calzetta also recommended that, if going with the self-insured model, the town purchase insurance against the possibility of a large excess on its liability projections, a practice known as re-insurance.

“I think the concern that any responsible employer of your size would have is ‘what if we have one very, very sick employee. That could destroy our projections.’ There is support for that in this arrangement,� Calzetta said. With the re-insurance policy, the carry-over of claims would be limited to 25 percent above the 105 percent call margin. Anything greater than this would not carry over to next year’s liability, but instead be paid by the re-insurer, thus reducing the danger of a catastrophically bad year for employee health. Further, the re-insurance will exempt the town from any one person’s claims in excess of $125,000 in one year. “If someone has a million-dollar claim, you’re only paying the first $125,000. The rest will be absorbed by the re-insurer,� Calzetta said. Overall, the self-insurance package will be $522,460 less than the equivalent fully-insured premium. Further, in order to increase the likelihood of a surplus, Calzetta recommended that the town cease to offer its PPO and HMO coverage to new hires, and instead only offer the high-deductible health plan with Health Savings Account contributions, a program introduced for 2012. “It’s the richest benefit of your plans,� Calzetta said. “People need to learn how to use it, but those who do figure out pretty quickly how effective it is.� Under the program, the town and the individual employee pay a much lower rate for insurance based on a higher deContinued from Page 10A

ductible - $1,250 for individuals and $2,500 for families. However, the city gives each employee this amount of money every year, which goes into their HSA and continues to grow if they do not spend it on healthcare. This plan is much cheaper than lowerdeductible coverage, and more predictable in cost given the flat contribution. Because relatively few employees - especially young, healthy ones - exceed their deductible, the town is hit with far less insurance claims, offsetting the more frequent claims experience of older, less healthy employees. “They’re paying for those people who cost way more than their premium could ever cover,â€? Calzetta said. “Any whether they’re healthy or sick, it’s a fixed cost every year.â€? “Say they don’t go to the doctor at all. In ten years, they could have $12,000 saved for when they’re older,â€? posited Councilman Brent Ashley, a member of the former council majority that pushed the introduction of the HSA. Councilman Joe Mitrecic asked if any of the changes would have an impact on current employees, which they would not. “In that case, I would motion that we accept these recommendations‌except where prevented by contractual agreement,â€? Mitrecic said. The city’s union contracts with the Fraternal Order of Police and International Association of Fire Fighters specify all plans be offered, meaning the town could not mandate the HSA until it goes back to the bargaining table.

Rebuild of transmission line scheduled through February (Oct. 18, 2013) In order to continue to provide safe, reliable electric service in Ocean City and throughout portions of Worcester and Sussex counties, Delmarva Power will begin rebuilding a high-voltage transmission line along Coastal Highway between the Maridel substation on 41st Street and the Ocean Bay substation on 85th Street. The $10-million project to rebuild the existing 69,000 volt-transmission line begin this week and involves the replacement of 90 wooden poles, most of which are more than 40 years old, with galvanized steel poles which require less maintenance and are built to withstand winds of up to 120 mph. Of the existing wooden poles, 45 are 65feet tall and hold the 69,000 volt line. These poles will be replaced with 90foot tall steel poles in order to achieve greater safety clearance from nearby buildings. The other 45 shorter, wooden distribution poles are located in between the taller poles and will be

replaced with steel poles of approximately the same height. “We have coordinated the project with the Town of Ocean City, the Maryland State Highway Administration and other utilities to minimize the amount of noise and traffic disruptions during construction,� said John Allen, Delmarva Power Region Vice President. “For safety reasons, residents should expect intermittent closure of right traffic and bus lanes in those blocks under construction.� The rebuild of the line is targeted for completion by the end of February, 2014. All post-project cleanup work will be finalized by mid-April of next year.

POLICE BRIEFS

Balcony toss

A 22-year-old Delaware man was arrested Oct. 12 after he admitted tossing an Adirondack-style wooden chair off an Ocean City hotel balcony. According to Ocean City police, the chair smashed into multiple pieces after hitting the street, just missing two vehicles parked near the 22nd Street hotel. A witness told police he saw people drinking on the balcony. He looked away and then saw the chair hit the street. Then he saw some of the people on the balcony take a chair from the neighboring balcony and put it on their balcony. Police went to the room where they saw three females and five males. They encountered a man, whose knuckles were torn and bloody, outside the room. That man, Michael Julian Cassello, reportedly said he threw the chair because the other people said he would not do it. He also said his knuckles were bloody because he punched a stucco wall. Cassello was charged with malicious destruction of property, reckless endangerment, littering and being intoxicated to the point of being a danger.

Firearm in vehicle

Two Pennsylvania men were arrested Oct. 10 after police recovered weapons in their vehicle. An Ocean City police officer stopped a vehicle driven by Jeremy Scott Saulisbury, 26, of West Grove because he was spinning his tires as he turned on Philadelphia Avenue at 23rd Street. While talking to Saulisbury, the officer saw a wooden police baton between the driver’s door and the seat. When the officer asked about any other weapons that might be in the vehicle, the passenger, Aaron Taylor Mason, 22, of Lincoln University, Pa., said a firearm was in the vehicle. Mason said he had a Pennsylvania carry permit for the handgun, which he put in the vehicle because he did not want it to be stolen from his hotel room. Police charged Saulisbury with possessing a concealed dangerous weapon and possessing a prohibited weapon. They charged Mason with having a concealed dangerous weapon.

Concealed weapon

Gregory Michael L. Lankford, 19, of Federalsburg, was charged Oct. 12 with having a concealed dangerous weapon after he allegedly showed police that he had a knife. Police stopped Lankford at 25th Street after he

failed to stop at a stop sign. After Lankford exited his vehicle, he reportedly lifted his sweatshirt to show police the fixed-blade knife in a sheath tucked into his waistband.

House fire

The Ocean City Fire Marshal’s Office classified the Oct. 10 house fire that started in the kitchen as accidental. “It is National Fire Prevention Week and we have been spreading the word to our residents and visitors that more fires start in the kitchen than any other part of the home,” Ocean City Fire Department Chief Chris Larmore stated. “Thankfully, no one was injured in this incident; however it is a testament to how dangerous kitchen fires can be. We hope that by sharing this year’s fire safety campaign with our community we will be teaching residents how to prevent kitchen fires from starting in the first place.” When firefighters arrived on the scene at 128th Street, they saw fire coming from the house. They extinguished the fire a short time later. The occupants of the house exited safely, but a cat remained inside. Fire Department personnel located the car and returned it to its owners. The cat was taken to the Ocean City Animal Hospital. To learn more about fire prevention week and how to prevent kitchen fires, visit http://www.firepreventionweek.org/.

Gather up old or unusable cans of pesticides, pool chemicals, gas and other fuels, oil-base paints, thinners and everyday hazardous wastes accumulating in and around the home and bring them to the recycling center for safe disposal. Electronic items, such as computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, radios, televisions and VCR’s, will be collected and later recycled. Household hazardous waste and electronics don’t

degrade readily, and recycling them saves muchneeded landfill space. Many of the items also contain poisonous materials that could seep out of the landfill and contaminate surrounding soil and groundwater. Proper disposal of these items is among many simple tasks we can practice to help protect the environment and ultimately our own health. This event is open to Worcester County residents only. A representative from MDE will be onsite checking vehicle registration. Clean Ventures of Baltimore will be responsible for the safe disposal of all hazardous waste collected. The electronics will be shipped to an electronics recycler for dismantling. For more information, contact Worcester County Recycling Manager Ron Taylor at 410-6323177.

Berlin man gets 10 years in prison for 1976 rape of juvenile Moore, now 62, fathered two children with teen starting when she was 15 NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) A 62-year-old Berlin man was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison for raping a 14-year-old girl in 1976. James Louis Moore impregnated the girl, who gave birth to a daughter at age 15. He impregnated her again six years later and she gave birth to another daughter. He pleaded guilty Aug. 7 to one count of second-degree rape that occurred from Feb. 1, 1976 to March 31, 1976. The victim told Ocean City police in June 2012 that Moore had abused her throughout her childhood. He had forcibly raped her, she said. Moore’s defense attorney, Julie Guyer, told Judge Thomas C. Groton III in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Tuesday that her client had been a “wild child” at the time of the rapes. He was living in

Ocean City and seeing the mother of the victim. Since then, Guyer said, Moore has had a “significant change of circumstances.” Rev. Berry McCready, former pastor of First Baptist Church in Berlin, spoke on Moore’s behalf and said Moore had gone to his church before 2000 with Deborah Farlow, whom he eventually married. “He’s as fine as person as I know,” McCready said. “His fellowship is very precious to us.” Moore, McCready said, was a member of the church’s Praise Team and was a very special person in his wife’s life. “He is my friend,” McCready said. “I think he’s an honorable man.” Deborah Moore said she had been married to her husband for 14 years. Five years ago, she had an injury and lost

most of her right foot. Since then, James Moore has been running their errands and refurbished their house to accommodate her wheelchair. Without his income, she said, their house must be sold. “He goes to work, comes home, goes to church and runs errands,” she said of her husband. Guyer said her client was a different person than when the crime occurred and she asked for leniency, specifically for a suspended sentence and local jail time if the judge sentenced him to jail. Incarceration, she said, is for rehabilitation and for public safety. “He doesn’t pose any kind of threat and he’s rehabilitated himself,” Guyer told the judge. Groton, however, said rehabilitation is only one factor pertaining to incarceration. The other, he said, is punishment.

Moore said he was sorry for any hurt he had caused, but he also said that he had not been aware of the victim’s age and she had not been afraid of him when he has seen her during the intervening years. Groton told Moore that he had read the victim’s written impact statement and “the hurt jumps off the page.” The victim, who began counseling in 2008 and continues to get counseling now, wrote, “You can never get over it. It lives with you forever.” Groton said Moore had no business being involved with the young girl, for whom the crimes had been “a life-altering event.” He then sentenced Moore to 10 years in prison. Because rape is a crime of violence, Moore must serve at least half of the sentence before being eligible for parole.

Man sentenced for dealing marijuana, having stolen gun NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) A 19-year-old Laurel man was sentenced Oct. 9 to two years incarceration with all but six months suspended after pleading guilty in Circuit Court in Snow Hill to distribution of marijuana. Loomis Boakai Zayzay also pleaded guilty to having a handgun on his person and received an identical sentence, to be served concurrently. After his release from jail, he will be on supervised probation for three years and must pay a fine of $500. Members of the Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit and the Criminal Enforcement Team of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office were attempting to make undercover drug buys on the Boardwalk at 11th Street on June 8. One narcotics detective approached Zayzay about drugs and Zayzay left, but said he would be back. When he returned, he sold two small red Ziploc bags of marijuana to the detective. After detectives arrested him, they searched him and located a red bag in his back pocket. In his backpack, they found a white bag with 18 individually wrapped bags of marijuana. They also found a .38 caliber semi-automatic handgun, which they learned later had been stolen from Clayton County, Ga.

(Oct. 18, 2013) A 61-year-old Berlin man, who committed numerous burglaries with his daughter last spring, was sentenced last week to eight years in prison with all but one year and six months suspended. It was the same sentence his daughter received in August. James Richard Hughlett pleaded guilty in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Oct. 7 to conspiracy to commit first-degree burglary and theft of $10,000 to less

than $100,000. He received the same sentence for each charge and the sentences will run concurrently. He was also fined $500. In exchange for his guilty pleas, numerous other charges were not prosecuted. He and his daughter, Kate Allison Hughlett, 23, were arrested in May in connection with several burglaries that took place in Berlin from April 26 to May 14. After gathering evidence, officers of the Berlin Police Department and detectives with the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation executed a search and

seizure warrant at their Baker Street residence May 14. James Hughlett was arrested that day and his daughter, Kate, was arrested the following day. They were indicted in June. James Hughlett was charged with seven counts of first-degree burglary, six counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree burglary, multiple counts of theft of less than $1,000, theft of $1,000 to less than $10,000 and theft of $10,000 to less than $100,000. Kate Hughlett was indicted with those same offenses. She was also charged with

possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of equipment to administer drugs. She pleaded guilty Aug. 14 to two counts of first-degree burglary and was sentenced on each count to eight years in prison with all but one year and six months suspended. The sentences will run concurrently. The Hughletts were ordered to make restitution of $18,079 to their victims. After their release from jail, the Hughletts will be on supervised probation for five years.

Woman gets eight years for possession, intent to distribute Staggers’ companion, Richard Bless, scheduled to have trial in December NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) A 36-year-old Berlin woman was sentenced last Thursday to eight years in prison for possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute it. Tara Leigh Staggers was found guilty, after entering an Alford plea, to the charge in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Oct. 10. When entering an Alford plea, the defendant does not admit guilt, but acknowledges that the prosecution has sufficient evidence for a conviction. Staggers was arrested last March after members of the Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit, who were deputized by Worcester County Sheriff Reggie Mason in 2011 so they could make arrests outside the resort, learned that she was selling heroin in the Ocean City area. The detectives obtained a search and seizure warrant and then set up surveillance near Walmart on Route 50 near

Route 589. On March 7, they saw her enter a car and sit in the passenger seat. Richard Sheldon Bless, 26, of Snow Hill, sat in the driver’s sear. During the search, police found 47 plastic bags containing off-white powder on Staggers and a pill bottle with 42 oxycodone pills in her purse. Also found was an “owe sheet,” which included people’s names and the dollar amount they owed for drugs. The “owe sheet” had references to blues, slang for oxycodone. While removing Bless from the vehicle, police saw several clear bags rubber-banded together on the driver’s seat. The bags contained blue wax paper with an off-white substance, heroin. Staggers was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with the intent to distribute it and possession of oxycodone with the intent to distribute it. Bless was charged with possession of heroin. In Circuit Court in Snow Hill last week, Staggers was sentenced to eight years in prison with all but one year and six months suspended. After her release from incarceration, she will be on supervised probation for three years and must pay a $500 fine. Bless is scheduled to have his trial Dec. 3.

Extension office

The commissioners approved the request for the University of Maryland Extension – Worcester County to retain $8,955.56 of unexpended appropriations from fiscal year 2013. These are funds that the county pays the university on a semi-annual basis for the salaries, benefits and travel for the Worcester County Extension Office. Funds were available due to the timing of the hiring of a replacement program assistant this past fiscal year. The funds will be used to purchase

needed supplies and equipment for the extension office in Snow Hill.

Rural Legacy

The commissioners approved the request of Ed Tudor, director of the Department of Development Review and Permitting, to approved the fiscal year 2014 Dividing Creek Rural Legacy Area grant agreement. The commissioners had approved his requests to apply for the grant, and one for the Coastal Bays Rural Legacy Area, on Feb. 5. The county was awarded $1 million of the $1.9 million originally requested for the Dividing Creek Rural Legacy Area. No funding was awarded for the Coastal Bays Rural Legacy Area. The awarded funds will be used to purchase voluntary easements in the Dividing Creek Rural Legacy Area with the

county’s co-sponsors, Somerset County and The Nature Conservancy. No Worcester County funding is required to purchase the easements.

Phone system

The commissioners approved the request of Health Officer Debbie Goeller to waive the bidding process and purchase a replacement telephone system for $20,137.19 for the county’s Berlin Health Center on Healthway Drive near Atlantic General Hospital. The telephone system there failed and could not be repaired because of its age. Its manufacturer discontinued the system and parts are no longer available. Because of the system’s failure, the Berlin Health Center had no call routing, no voice mail, no night message and no call transfer or pickup.

Bids

The commissioners approved the request of Public Works Director John Tustin to award the contract for the installation of a pole building for equipment storage at the department’s Maintenance Division to Diamond State Pole Buildings, which submitted a bid of $48,860. The commissioners also approved a bid packet for the purchase of five vehicles for use by the Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Public Works. They also approved bid documents for the purchase of two dump trucks and two offset hydraulic rotary cutters for the Roads Division of the Department of Public Works.

SCORE seeks volunteers for resort chapter Association helps small businesses get started NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) A nationwide nonprofit association dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and prosper, all at no charge, wants to have a chapter in the Ocean City area. “We’d like to develop a branch here,” said Ed French, assistant district director on the Eastern Shore for SCORE, Service Core of Retired Executives. French is seeking volunteers, he said during last month’s Disaster Preparedness and Recovery for Business session sponsored by SCORE and the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce at the 67th Street Holiday Inn Oceanfront Conference Center. SCORE, formed in 1964 as a resource partner of the Small Business Administration, is no longer just for retired executives, but for any person with business expertise. French, a former hospital executive who started a number of small businesses, works primarily with the small Easton chapter, whose members are an insurance business owner, an electrical contractor, a banker and a professional in marketing and branding. Melanie Pursel, executive director of the Ocean City chamber, told French that Ocean City and Ocean Pines have an influx of retirees who want to remain active. French said he is looking for “folks who want to work with other folks,” and people who “would make a tremendous contribution to others.” See VARIOUS on Page 20A

GRADUATES Forty-six jail and correctional officers from Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset, Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne’s and Talbot counties graduated in the 88th entrance-level class of the Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy operated by Wor-Wic Community College. Donald Rollyson Jr., assistant director of the ESCJA, presided at the ceremony. Wicomico and Worcester County jail and correctional officers who graduated are, front row, from left., Jocelyn E. Parker and Donyell L. Thornton of the Worcester County Jail and Detention Center and Jerod C. Colbert, Perrisha D. Cottman, Shawn T. Holbrook, Andrew E. Johnson and Lisa M. Layton of the Wicomico County Department of Corrections, and in back row, Shawn M. Lyle, Brandon L. Moehrle, Malcolm L. Stonnell III, Stanley S. Summers Jr., and James E. Willey of the Wicomico County Department of Corrections.

Four or five “solid volunteers” are needed to establish an Ocean City SCORE chapter. Volunteers could serve as mentors to people wanting to start or grow a business, instructors at workshops or facilitators at round table discussions. They could also serve online as virtual volunteers and be “cyber counselors,” French said. Their availability, skill sets and individual talents would determine volunteers’ area of contribution. Before being mentored by a SCORE volunteer, would-be business owners are advised to take SCORE’s online workshop, “How to start your business.” After one-on-one mentoring by SCORE volunteers, 71 percent of the clients go into business. Nearly half of those clients, 46 percent, are female and 67 percent are college graduates. Last year, SCORE’s 11,000 volunteers in 340 chapters helped create more than 37,000 new businesses and helped create more than 82,000 new jobs. SCORE also provides its free services to people who are already operating a business. It helps them identify opportunities for growth and develop and implement strategies to make their businesses successful. Volunteers contribute approximately 1.15 million hours of service and serve more than 300,000 people each year. All of its services are free because it is funded by the Small Business Administration and by corporate sponsorships. “We do a lot with very little,” French said. Persons interested in volunteering or learning more about the volunteer opportunity may contact French at 443521-3569 or frenchoe@aol.com. They may also complete an online application. Persons interested in becoming a SCORE client may go online at SCORE.org to request face-to-face, telephone or e-mail (cyber) counseling. For more information about SCORE, visit www.SCORE.org.

Phosphorous restrictions causing poo panic with chicken farmers County requests study on law that would impact use of manure fertilizers NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) Because of their concerns about the ramifications of proposed regulations that would limit the use of chicken manure on farms, the Worcester County Commissioners are requesting that a comprehensive economic impact study be conducted to determine their full impact and cost. The commissioners are also asking for a meeting with Sec. Buddy Hance of the Maryland Department of Agriculture to voice their displeasure about the Phosphorus Management Tool, the proposed regulations that would impact agriculture, a vital industry in the county. “There’s no economic study being done,” Commissioner Virgil Shockley, a chicken farmer, said Tuesday. “We can ask for the economic side to be looked at before any implementation takes place.” Worcester County officials have been concerned about the proposed limit of chicken manure because of its detrimental effect on farming and the economy. If farmers cannot use chicken manure on their fields, they would be hurt financially and that in turn would hurt the county financially. During the Worcester County Commissioners’ Sept. 3, meeting, Shockley said the biggest problem of the proposed regulations is that some chicken growers do not have any land or enough land to use as a place to put the chicken manure after they remove it from their chicken houses. Those farmers might be unable to find suitable land elsewhere for the manure. If they cannot rid the chicken houses of the manure inside, they could not get a new flock of chicks and their livelihood would be in jeopardy. The MDA is now proposing to stockpile manure on various state properties

until the state could sell it, but Worcester County Environmental Programs Director Bob Mitchell questions where the manure would be stored and if it would really be at no cost. Shockley and Mitchell joined approximately 400 people Oct. 8 at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center in Salisbury for the MDA’s public briefing for farmers, those with environmental interests, local governments and other stakeholders on the proposed regulations. The proposal was not well received by farmers in attendance, Mitchell told the commissioners. During that meeting, Sec. Hance said until they have data, no one is sure what the impact of the new regulations will be. Mitchell said the regulations would “cause a lot of pain” for those in the

agricultural industry and others. The new regulations are expected to be phased-in, giving farmers until Jan. 1, 2015 to adapt to the new fertilizer calculations. According to the Maryland Association of Counties, fields on the Lower Eastern Shore and in the Piedmont region in central Maryland will be the most affected. Many farmers, according to the association, will have to switch their source of fertilizer. If they use organic fertilizer, chicken manure or dairy manure on fields with high levels of phosphorus, they might have to buy commercial nitrogen. Farmers who have been using commercial fertilizer could use poultry or dairy manure if their fields do not have high level of phosphorus. In an Oct. 10 letter to William Kirwan, chancellor and chief executive of-

ficer of the University System of Maryland, Sen. Jim Mathias wrote of his grave concern about the absence of representatives from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the Salisbury public briefing. The proposed regulations are based on research and formulas developed at the college. Mathias wrote that he was “truly embarrassed by the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources lack of attendance and engagement in front of the agricultural community that I represent.” He asked for public outreach to the people who attended that meeting and a review of the calculations and their economic impact on the farming community. “As senator representing Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties, I

(Oct. 18, 2013) Ocean City’s Fire Department is making headway in efforts to close its manpower gap, although the effort will be ongoing, City Council heard this week. OCFD Chief Chris Larmore reported that the seven new hires for the department, authorized under the 2013-2014 fiscal year budget, will soon be active. The department had been under a hiring

In addition to the new paid personnel, the department’s volunteer division will be expanding its live-in program, which allows volunteer members to take a greater rotation of shifts. Expanded livein facilities are under construction with the rebuilding of the department’s Station 4 at 130th Street. “We actually have a waiting list of personnel waiting to go into Station 4 when it’s finished,” Larmore said. He also reported that the 2013 season “was probably one of the best over the last five years that we’ve kept detailed statistics” as far as personnel availability. “Only six times through the entire summer did we actually utilize every crew, to the point where a call came in and we did not have an available ambulance,” Larmore said. “Those six times, we either split a crew or used a supervisor on a call.” The average response time this past summer has been reduced from four minutes and 30 seconds last year to four minutes and two seconds this year, within the town limits. However, over 50 percent of the department’s personnel will be eligible for retirement within the next two-and-a-

PLANNING COMMISSION BRIEFS ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer

The Ocean City Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the following items during its October 15, 2013 meeting.

Buccaneers’ Caye

The commission approved a revised design for the Buccaneers’ Caye restaurant and tiki bar, to be built in what is now the parking lot on the bayside of South Philadelphia Avenue, directly below Sunset Park. At last month’s meeting, the commission expressed concern that food delivery and parking would be difficult with only one entrance and exit onto Philadel-

phia Avenue, and requested that some of the site’s parking spaces be sacrificed to create an additional exit for throughtraffic in the lot. However, this loss of required parking meant that the apartments planned for the top floors of the building had to be eliminated. The 5,284-square foot structure will be triangular, with a long façade running southeast along the line of the bay and the privately-owned boardwalk currently in place there. However, in a reversal from last meeting, architect Keith Iott told the commission that the developer, John Stamato, was no longer interested in negotiating with the city to make the boardwalk area a public amenity. “Honestly, if I were running the

restaurant, I wouldn’t want it to be a public way either,” said Commissioner Lauren Taylor. “I would want the public there, but I would want it to be under my control.” “That’s pretty much the developer’s position,” Iott said.

and paramedics as well as volunteer and paid personnel. “Everyone would like to have a consolidated means to come together and recognize our outstanding individuals,” Larmore said. He also noted that the department has surveyed the Boardwalk to plan for emergencies, in light of the recent fire at the Seaside Heights, N.J. boardwalk. One of the issues cited in that incident

was the apparent under-response early in the blaze, when the fire was believed to have been contained before it destroyed 68 businesses. The OCFD, Larmore said, would continue to respond in full to every alarm, despite some criticism that it was overcommitting resources. “They can criticize all they want. It’s better to have too much than not enough,” said Council President Lloyd Martin.

PLANNING COMMISSION BRIEFS store on the first floor and a pub on the second. “It’ll cater to craft beers and things like that,” Fager said. Indoor space for the retail store is designed at 668 square feet, the sandwich shop at 1,368, and the pub at 376. However, there is also 1,799 square feet of outside dining area, with the majority of the pub being an open deck. The facility will be served by the existing curb cut on Coastal Highway, as well as by an additional entrance and exit to be built on 58th Street.

Building Height

The commission held a public hearing, which was not attended by any members of the public, to consider amending the city’s code for building height to allow for future possible changes in flood mapping. Building heights in the town are currently measured from the crown of the adjacent road to the top slab of the building’s top floor. However, this does not always allow builders an even amount of space to work with, given the town’s flood situation. Different areas of the city have different base flood elevations, by the determination of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as to where the high water line during a storm will reach. All structures must be raised to this level,

OBITUARIES plus an additional amount of “freeboard” space, in order for the town to meet its federal flood insurance rate requirements. In most areas of the resort, the building height limit is 50 feet, although large lots may build taller under the “height by right” statute. Instead, the commission is recommending a change whereby height would be measured from base flood elevation, not from the road, giving everyone the same amount of usable space. “We’re forcing people to fit into 48 or 49 feet or some odd number,” said Commissioner Peck Miller. “It’s common sense to make it 50 feet for everyone and take away the ambiguity.” City Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith also suggested that another clause be added into the change, stating that height be measured from base flood elevation or two feet above the crown of the road, whichever is higher. This is necessary, Smith noted, because new FEMA flood maps currently being outlined may remove a base flood elevation from some areas. The two foot statute would maintain a certain level of elevation for all buildings, even if the federal government wasn’t requiring it. Smith also suggested that the commission recommend that the city council pass the change as an emergency ordinance, given that it would affect projects currently being designed. “They haven’t asked for that, but they would benefit from it,” Smith said.

Affordable Care Act community education, enrollment events (Oct. 18, 2013) Atlantic/Smith, Cropper & Deeley (ASC&D) announces a community education series aimed at helping consumers understand their options for health insurance as the new health insurance exchanges opened Oct. 1 for coverage to be effective Jan. 1, 2014. ASC&D is an authorized insurance broker for the Maryland and Delaware Health Exchanges. While the Health Exchanges have experienced technical difficulties in the early weeks of operations and individuals have experienced delays on the website, agents are able to give consumers an overview of their options, including the cost, in approximately five minutes. Representatives from area health systems including Atlantic General Hospital, Peninsula Regional Medical Center, and Three Lower Counties Community Services will be on hand to provide information on primary care services in the region and to provide valuable community education to residents. Other network providers such as Riverside Health and Priority Partners will be present during the event to answer questions for consumers. Accounting experts from Twilley, Rommel & Stephens will be on hand to address any tax related questions consumers have. “In this new health insurance market people will need to understand that tax penalties are imposed if you don’t have insurance, what new options are available to purchase health insurance, and how to purchase the most appropriate plan for your needs” advised Chris Keen, President of Keen Insurance and co-presenter of the seminar. Since last November, ASC&D and Keen Insurance have been collaborating to educate employers and consumers about the Impending changes brought on by Health Care Reform. Carroll and Keen have emerged as the market leaders on the topic of Health Care Reform in the region. The Act is a national health care plan aimed at reforming the American health care system. The stated purpose is to increase the number of Americans covered by health insurance. “This will be done by expanding Medicaid, by subsidizing premiums for low income individuals and families, by imposing tax penalties on those who don’t obtain insurance coverage, and by requiring insurance companies to cover everyone who applies regardless of medical conditions,” explains Chris Carroll, ASC&D’s Vice President of Life & Health. A recent report released by the Department of Health and Human Services estimates 10.8 million of the uninsured eligible for insurance coverage through the exchanges may be able to pay $100 or less per person for their health insurance. The community education events will provide attendees with information about: How the Affordable Care Act affects you and your family Understanding tax penalties Your options under the Health Ex-

change market Can you qualify for a federal subsidy to pay premiums How an Insurance agent can help How to access a primary care doctor New Medicaid Eligibility Guidelines Pre-registration is encouraged, however walk-ins are welcome. Those that pre-register will receive the Obamacare Toolkit in advance of the event to help them gather the information needed to make educated decisions related to their health plans when they get to talk with an agent. Oct. 21– 4-8 p.m. – Wicomico Youth & Civic Center – Salisbury Oct. 22– 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. – OC Convention Center – Ocean City Nov. 7 – 6-8 p.m. – County Bank – Lewes, Del. You can also register by calling 410-

835-2000. Open enrollment in the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange began October 1st and the exchanges have struggled from to meet demand. “Although the long term feasibility of health care reform is unknown,” Carroll explains, “it is projected in 2014 over 180,000 people in Maryland alone will gain affordable access to health insurance through the state Exchange.” As individuals examine the new requirements starting in October through the end of the year, agents will be available six days per week to ensure all consumers have access to the highest level of professional support. In addition to having enrollment assistance in person and by phone, ASC&D will be offering a daily scheduled “webinar classroom”. Individuals can attend the webinar with

an iInternet connection and telephone. These small group meetings are led by a senior benefit agent. Individuals can receive one on one online enrollment assisstance by scheduling a personal enrollment session. More information on enrollment assistance can be found on their website www.ascd.net or calling 800-833-7234. “Having an independent insurance agent to advise you will be even more important than ever,” says Carroll. “The complexities that Obamacare brings to the buying decision is significant.” Agents are also able to help service the insurance plan throughout the year, helping people with claim problems and pre-authorizations for care. The cost for consumers is exactly the same whether you employ the services of an agent or go direct to the insurance carrier.

Worcester Prep golf team wins 7th ESIAC crown Senior captain Billy Brittingham leads squad, earns medalist honors LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Oct. 18, 2013) The Worcester Prep golf team took home its seventh consecutive Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference title under the direction of Coach Kevin Gates on Wednesday.

The Mallards won the three-school match at Lighthouse Sound in Bishopville, scoring a 178. Salisbury Christian finished in second place with a 211 and Salisbury School was third with a 247. Contributing to Worcester’s victory was senior captain Billy Brittingham. He carded a 39, the lowest score of day, and earned medalist honors. “Billy played very well,” Gates said. “It’s a tough course. Any time you can shoot below 40 you’re playing well.” Sophomores Jason Cook and John

Meakin tallied 45 and 47, respectively. Junior Rylie Doyle carded a 47. “Their scores counted toward the conference championship and I’m very happy for them and for us that we won,” Gates said. “I’m proud of them.” The eight players with the lowest scores during the competition received All-Tournament accolades. Five of the eight spots went to Worcester players. Brittingham, Cook, Meakin, Doyle and freshman Jon Ruddo, who shot a 51, were named to the All-Tournament team.

SD runners to compete in Bayside meet Oct. 23 Stigler: I am really hoping our girls team can claim one of the top two spots LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Oct. 18, 2013) The Stephen Decatur boys’ and girls’ cross country teams wrapped up regular season competition this week as the Seahawks now prepare for the Oct. 23 Bayside Conference

championship. On Tuesday, Decatur joined four other school for a meet in Cambridge. There were some problems during the girls’ race. Unofficially, Decatur won with 43 points and Cambridge was second with 44 points. “The girls did not really have official scoring because the race was so messed up,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “There were people in the woods directing runners where to go, but they sent the girls in the leading group the wrong way. Our top three girls got lost and ran

almost an extra mile. It is really hard to judge anything about the girls race because of this.” Sophomore Kayla Lorance was the first Lady Seahawk to cross the finish line. She placed fifth overall (22:26). Rounding out the top five Decatur finishers was junior Jordan Klebe (22:28, sixth), senior Alex McKahan (22:30, seventh), freshman Peyton Dunham (24:21, 12th) and junior Meya Chilengi (24:26, 13th). Cambridge won the boys’ competiSee BOYS on Page 31A

(Oct. 18, 2013) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team performed well in the second and third games of Monday’s match against the Parkside Rams, according to Coach Sarah Zimmer. Unfortunately, the Lady Seahawks didn’t play at the same level in Games 1, 4 and 5, and the visiting squad lost the comCoach Zimmer petition in Salisbury. Parkside won the first game 25-10. Decatur edged out its opponent 25-23 in the second game. The Seahawks scored a 25-20 victory in the third. After the first game, Zimmer said she told her players “if we could play a couple notches better, then we could get the win.” “We needed to play smarter and they did. The second and third games were both back and forth,” Zimmer said. The Rams took the fourth game 25-10 and secured the win, outscoring the Seahawks 15-5 in the fifth. “I really have no words to describe Games 1, 4, and 5. We were flat-footed, not communicating well [and] our passing was awful,” Zimmer said. “Games 2 and 3 we were excited and everything was going well. I truly thought we had that win in the bag after Games 2 and 3. For some reason, we shut down and couldn’t dig ourselves out of the hole we were in in Games 4 and 5. We made a lot of silly mistakes and unforced errors.” Decatur junior setter Haley Trice had 17 assists. Hannah Adkins, a junior, tallied 13 kills and four blocks and senior captain Taylor Black recorded three aces, three kills and a block. Senior Sammi Quilter dug eight Rams’ hits. Kiley Cooke, a senior, had four kills and four digs. Decatur won Wednesday’s match against the Snow Hill Eagles in three games–25-9, 25-11 and 25-9–in Berlin, but the girls’ play was sloppy, Zimmer said. “Snow Hill was scrappy as usual, so they were able to send some balls back our way that we were not ready for. We had a few balls drop and at times [we] were running into each other,” Zimmer said. “I thought our hitters did a great job tonight of actually finish the play, and our serving was great.” Senior captain Katie VanBruggen and Adkins chipped in with seven and five kills, respectively. Black logged eight aces and six kills, Cooke blocked three Eagles’ hits and Trice had 18 assists. Decatur will host the Pocomoke Warriors on Monday at 5:30 p.m. in Berlin.

Boys could finish as high as second, Stigler says tion with 27 points (unofficial). Decatur was second (48) and North Caroline finished third (49). Senior Kevin Herbert led Decatur, placing second overall (17:23). Junior Jake Gaddis (17:47, seventh), senior John Niedfeldt (17:55, ninth), sophomore Parker Harrington (18:23, 14th) and freshman Cameron James (18:52, 17th) also scored points for the Seahawks. “In the boys race, everyone went the right way (as far as I know),” Stigler

Continued from Page 30A

said. “Kevin Herbert ran really well and is peaking at the right time for Baysides.” Decatur will compete in the Bayside Conference championship meet, Wednesday, Oct. 23 on the Cambridge course. Stigler said Kent Island is favored in the girls competition. Vying for second place will be Decatur and Cambridge, he added. “Cambridge will definitely be strong on their home course…I am really hoping our girls team can claim one of the

top two spots,” Stigler said. Kent Island is the frontrunner in the boys’ race, followed most likely by Cambridge, Stigler said. The other teams contending will probably be North Caroline and Queen Anne’s, he added. “I could see the (Decatur) boys finishing as high as second if everything goes right, and as low as fifth,” Stigler said. “Individually, I would like to have a few (male and female) runners make the top 15, which garners them All-Bayside status.”

The foursome will represent Decatur as a team during the 3A/4A state tournament, Oct. 28-30, on the University of Maryland College Park golf course.

They embody our school’s motto of ‘Pride, Achievement, Respect and Responsibility’ at the utmost level,� Krall said. “Coach Furbay and I attribute the success of the Decatur golf team to the wonderful parental support we have, the local golf courses and golf course professionals, who have provided the players with support and guidance throughout the years, and the administration at Decatur, who supports our program 100 percent.

(Oct. 18, 2013) With a 4-3 victory over the Wi-Hi Indians Monday, the Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team took one step closer to representing the Bayside South in the conference championship game next week. “They came through and pulled it out, but it wasn’t pretty,� said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. The Seahawks, who had four starters sidelined with injuries (three knee, one ankle) and some players in different positions, fell behind early when the Indians scored three minutes into the game in Salisbury. Decatur senior Nick White tied it about 15 minutes later. Wi-Hi netted two goals in seven minutes to pull ahead 3-1. After the goal, Decatur junior Sean Colgan took over for senior Logan Thumma in the net. Trying to motivate the Seahawks to step up their game, Greenwood warned his players during the halftime break that their dream of a Bayside championship was slipping away. Fourteen minutes into the second half, senior Zach Elmer cut Wi-Hi’s lead to one. At the 25-minute mark, White evened the score 3-3. With six minutes remaining in the contest, senior David Bernal-Clark buried a free kick from about 20 yards into the back of the goal to give Decatur its first lead of the night and the Seahawks held on for the victory. Thumma and Colgan combined for nine saves. “We played better in the second half,� Greenwood said. “We controlled the ball a lot more and we had more (scoring) opportunities.� Decatur needed a win Wednesday over the James M. Bennett Clippers to secure a spot in the Oct. 21 Bayside Conference championship game. With 5:50 remaining in the game, Decatur freshman Alton Walker scored and it was enough for the victory. “I felt that we kind of controlled the game,� Greenwood said. “We played hard. The boys were fired up. They knew what was on the line.� Thumma came up with some big saves in goal for Decatur. He stopped 10 Bennett shots. “After a shaky game on Monday, he played fantastic [Wednesday],� Greenwood said. Decatur will battle the Easton Warriors for the Bayside title on Monday at Washington College. Greenwood said the Seahawks are looking to avenge their Oct. 3, 1-0 loss to the Warriors. Also on Monday is the draw for positions in the regional tournament brackets. Decatur will compete in Section I of the 3A South division. First-round play is scheduled to begin Oct. 25.

Seahawks shut out Bulldogs; led by Maykrantz’s 2 goals

Stephen Decatur senior Andrew Borradaile takes off with the ball during last Friday's game in rainy and windy conditions against North Caroline in Berlin. With less than a minute left in the game, Borradaile intercepted a North Caroline pass and ran the ball 36 yards into the end zone to boost Decatur's lead to 19-6. Decatur won 206.

LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Oct. 18, 2013) Senior Chloe Maykrantz scored two goals, leading the Stephen Decatur field hockey team to a 7-0 victory over the North Caroline Bulldogs Monday. "We started off a little bit slow and [we] were playing very complacently, but then we started talking and stepping to the ball," Decatur Coach Michelle Fluty said after the game in Berlin. The Lady Seahawks led 2-0 at halftime. "It was truly a team win and [it] was great to see the girls play hard and smart," she added. Sophomore Hannah FauntLeRoy contributed a goal and an assist. Juniors Brooke Davis and Emily Knopp and seniors Kacie Moore and captain Erin Florek netted one shot apiece. Senior Cassidy Remmell tallied two assists. Goalies Abby Friedman, a senior, and sophomore Sophia Clemente each made one save. See POST-SEASON on Page 34A

Coach Bunting pleased with level of play despite loss LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Oct. 18, 2013) Despite falling to the Parkside Rams girls' soccer team 3-1 Monday, Stephen Decatur Coach Misty Bunting was pleased with her players' performance. "Considering we had a rainy week last week and we weren't really able to practice the formation we wanted to use against Parkside, the girls played well," Bunting said. "We did mix things up a bit and change up our game plan to shut down their game through the middle of the field–that's definitely their strength in sending girls through the middle–and our team did a really nice job with that. I'm proud of the way they played." Parkside led 1-0 on their field in Salisbury at halftime. About 15 minutes into the second half, the Rams scored their second goal. Decatur senior captain Rebecca Lederman scored her team's lone goal with 14 minutes remaining in the match. Parkside netted its final goal with five minutes left on the clock. Bunting said the Lady Seahawks had a few scoring opportunities, but they were unable to capitalize. Decatur sophomore goalie Lexi Gausepohl made 11 saves. The draw for position seeds in the regional tournament bracket is scheduled to take place Monday. Decatur will compete in Section I of the 3A South division.

Seahawks take down unbeaten Bulldogs 20-6 LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Oct. 18, 2013) The Stephen Decatur football team was in its glory last Friday, playing in rainy and windy conditions, which Coach Bob Knox calls "Seahawk weather." The Seahawks, competing in front of about 100 die-hard fans who braved the elements to watch Decatur take down the previously unbeaten North Caroline Bulldogs, 20-6. "I'm pleased that we won and that we played hard, but there's still things we have to fix to be the team we want to be," Knox said. "We had three turnovers and we missed a couple blocking assignments, but the kids played hard and they were physical." With 3:42 left in the first quarter, junior quarterback Justin Meekins hit Tripp Ortega from three yards for the touchdown. Junior Austin Dundore's extrapoint kick was good. Decatur led, 7-0. North Caroline turned up the offensive pressure in the final minute of the second quarter and scored with 51 seconds remaining. Decatur junior Sam Coates blocked the extra point attempt, and the Seahawks went into the locker room ahead, 7-6. The home team increased its lead about four minutes into the third quarter. Meekins carried the ball five yards into the end zone. Dundore's extra point attempt went wide left. With less than a minute remaining in the game, senior Andrew Borradaile intercepted a North Caroline pass and ran the ball 36 yards into the end zone to boost Decatur's lead to 19-6. Dundore converted the extra point. "I don't think [North Caroline] expected what they got," Knox said. "We weren't as big or as strong, but we claw and we fight and we do what we've got to do (to win). I think the kids had something to prove. Football's a team game… it all needs to click together to be successful." Knox said several players

stepped up, including Meekins and Borradaile. Meekins was 4-for-5 passing for 49 yards. Knox said the Seahawks didn't throw the ball much because of the weather. Meekins racked up 75 yards rushing. Borradaile rushed six times for 37 yards. He caught three passes for 45 yards. Senior P.J. Copes carried the ball 24 times, tallying 90 yards.

Knox said it was a "total team effort on defense." "Our defense played really well and swarmed to the ball," he said. Senior Chase Sams and Borradaile each made 12 tackles. Wyatt Brady, a senior, logged nine tackles and sophomore Dryden Brous had seven. Decatur was scheduled to play the Wi-Hi Indians Thursday in Salisbury.

Tourism initiative an opportunity

Of all the studies the mayor and City Council have authorized over the years, the one proposed to them now – a strategic planning study of tourism – is the most worthy and deserving of total support. Although some might argue that the yet-to-be-determined cost of this exercise will be greater than what city government can afford, consider the hundreds of thousands of dollars that were spent on other studies in the past such as downtown revitalization and city employee pay. Surely, a detailed assessment of the one thing that drives the economic engine that made these previous studies possible makes sense. This assumes, however, that any such evaluation would be the first step in developing a community consensus and well-defined plan to improve the resort’s standing in the tourism destination market. As it is now, every taxpaying resident and business operator in Ocean City has an opinion on what the resort needs or does not need in the way of tourism. Yet, never has an attempt been made to bring citizens, business people and officials to the table to discuss these widely divergent views and to formulate an approach to tourism development that would accommodate as many of them as possible. Many residents, for instance, fail to understand that tourism is what makes living here as affordable as it is and that some degree of tolerance in this regard must be part of the package. Business people, on the other hand, must accept that not every tourism-boosting enterprise is good and that residents will just have to live with it. Elected officials, who often walk the line between these two sides, and whose judgment on such matters sometimes leans toward political instinct and interests, would find it beneficial to have an operating document that lays out what a majority of the public, business and residents, wants and expects. This study and planning initiative, after all, would give Ocean City the opportunity to educate everyone on what tourism does for them and how, possibly, to do it better.

READERS’ FORUM

Infrastructure fees unfair

Editor, We write to clarify a longstanding misunderstanding between the Worcester County Commissioners and the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company (OCVFC). In 2011, OCVFC completed construction of our muchneeded replacement of Station 5 on Keyser Point Road in West Ocean City. From that station, we service both Ocean City and Worcester County. No Worcester County funds were used for this construction, and the OCVFC is burdened with the 30-year mortgage. Obviously, as part of construction, we desired domestic water from station functions, and to replace water used by our fire apparatus during operations. To obtain this needed water, the OCVFC agreed to pay to extend the existing waterline from the north entrance of Oyster Harbour to Station 5 to provide for the

domestic water service. We understood that this would be at our expense, and have already paid the cost of $192,171. At that time, we also paid the additional cost of $59,134 to add the tees, fire hydrants, and gate valves, with the expectation that we would be reimbursed by Worcester County because of this increased infrastructure — mostly for Worcester County. Since that time, to our dismay, Worcester County has decided to classify the OCVFC as a “contractor,” and that the additional cost of the infrastructure was no different than if a developer was adding homes or new roads. We disagree with this decision. Unlike a contractor or developer, we will never have the opportunity to recoup any of the monies spent to provide the additional infrastructure. After all, a developer or contractor would pass such an expense onto the homeowner when they tied into the system. In this case, Worcester County took ownership

of the waterline, and the charges to homeowners, contactors, or developers will be collected by Worcester County. We have requested meetings with the Worcester County Commissioners multiple times to explain our position, the need, and rationale to be reimbursed for the additional $59,134 expense. We did not and would not ask Worcester County to fully reimburse us for the waterline, but only for the added expense for which we did not budget, nor were expecting to have to absorb to add the additional infrastructure. Our request for reimbursement, and a chance to meet with the Worcester County Commissioners to explain our request for reimbursement has been denied every time. We consider this decision to be unjustified. In the name of fairness, we respectfully request that Worcester County reconsider and reimburse us for the additional expense of $59,134. These monies

Thanks to Summer Crush Golf Classic supporters By Stewart Dobson

Considering the average age of members of Congress is around 57, a scientific study (by me) reveals for the first time the true underlying causes of that institution’s inability to accomplish much of anything. It is not, despite assertions to the contrary, a conservative versus liberal issue. Based on the premise that people in this age bracket have reached a point where they must have their evening meal before the Jeopardy Deadline, which is to say between the hours of 5:30 and 7:30 p.m., and that everyone in this demographic watches television while they eat, and that television advertising experts know what they are doing, here is the problem: These people are unable to focus on running the country because they are preoccupied with: 1. Not wetting their pants; 2. Breathing; 3. Lack of fiber; 4. Patchy skin; 5. Arthritis; 6. Low T; 7. Shingles; and 8: being creepy looking while smiling at their respective spouses from separate bathtubs. This leaves little time to legislate, as my study shows that critical negotiations recently have been halted because of certain points of order: – “Mr. Speaker, if I may, I’d like to ask that these proceedings be put on hold as it has now been more than four hours and I need to consult my doctor.” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too!” “Me too! …” – “Mr. Speaker, if I may, I’d like to postpone the vote on this matter because: 1. “I gotta go right now.” 2. “I’m overdue for my shingles vaccination.” 3. “Can’t breathe! Can’t breathe! Must … play … with … grandchildren … and … breathe!” 4. “I’m in that one percent that may experience certain side effects that include, nausea, dry eye, joint pain, total loss of bodily control, wearing underpants on my head and turning into a hairless monkey at midnight.” This ineffectiveness is not, in other words, their fault but is the result of the aging process, according to what my study found. Unfortunately, a proposal by a bipartisan committee that voting be conducted in individual bathtubs was blocked by extremists who suggested that irritable bowel syndrome sufferers made this impractical. Five moderates, however, did vote to sequester bone loss.

Editor, On behalf of the Lower Shore Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Society of Women Leaders, the First Annual Summer Crush Golf Classic Committee would like to thank the business community for the incredible support, which made this first time event such a success. The weather was perfect, auction items were fantastic, a 50/50 prize which was donated back to the Red

Making Strides 5K run/walk Saturday in OC Goal to raise $200,000 for American Cancer Soc. LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

More than 5,000 guests walked through the "Halloween Beach Maze" on the beach in Ocean City near North Division Street last year. The 2013 maze will open this weekend.

O.C.toberfest features maze, pumpkin race Costumed pet parade also included in beach events CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) Ocean City is gearing up for Halloween with its second annual O.C.toberfest this weekend and next, bringing a costumed pet parade, a beach maze and the Great Pumpkin Race back to the resort. “It’s very family friendly,” said event co-producer Bob Rothermel of the free festival. “We really push it toward families and young children. We’re not there to really scare anyone.” See MAZE on Page 2B

Participating in "The Great Pumpkin Race" off the Boardwalk at North Division Street are Ryan Herbert of Edgewater, Md., right, and Selby on the Bay resident Wade Pellicot last year. The competition featured 10 tricked out pumpkin race cars. Families, friends, groups and individuals designed their own racecar from a single pumpkin for the final event of the inaugural O.C.toberfest. The 2013 race will take place Oct. 26.

(Oct. 18, 2013) Last October, more than 1,000 walkers and about 280 runners hit the Boardwalk for Ocean City’s second annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K event. Beverly Furst, chairwoman for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event, said she was overwhelmed by the community’s generosity and support. “We had more people, more teams and well exceeded our goal [of $125,000] by raising $159,777,” Furst said after the 2012 event. “As part of the Pink Ribbon Classic, we were able to raise more money for research and programs and awareness for the American Cancer Society.” The third annual 5K run and 3.1-mile walk is scheduled to take place Saturday on the Ocean City Boardwalk. They will start near the inlet parking lot. As of Tuesday, the online donation total was more than $120,300 and climbing. Sixty-seven teams and 528 participants had also pre-registered. The goal this year is to have between 1,200 and 1,500 people participate and raise $200,000, Furst said in August after a Making Strides run/walk kickoff event at Jive on 82nd Street. On Tuesday, she was confident that goal would be met. On the day of the 5K run/walk, registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the inlet parking lot. The cost is $40 for the run and $35 for the walk. Participants will receive a T-shirt. The 5K run will begin at 9 a.m. The walk is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. Runners will race around the pier, then on the Boardwalk to about 15th Street and head back the same way. The course is the same for the walk. Awards will be presented to the top race finishers and fundraisers. A Zumba and line dancing warm-up will take place before the 5K run.

Live ENTERTAINMENT:

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The high standards you set for yourself don’t always translate into the behavior you expect of others. That relationship problem can be resolved if you’re more flexible and less judgmental. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Not enough party bids to satisfy the Bovine’s fun-loving side this week? Go ahead and throw one of your own. Then prepare for some serious work coming up early next week. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A new and intensely productive cycle is about to kick in. Be careful not to get too stressed out, though. Make time to restore your energies by relaxing with family and friends. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This could be a good time to share some of your plans with those closest to you. Their comments could give you some added insight into how you might accomplish your goals. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An attack of self-doubt might be unsettling for the usually super-assured Feline. But it could be your inner voice telling you to hold off implementing your plans until you’ve reassessed them. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a great time for you to reward yourself for all your hard work by taking a trip you haven’t spent months carefully planning, to somewhere you never thought you’d be going. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Some misunderstandings resist being resolved. But your sincerity in wanting to soothe those hurt feelings wins the day. By month’s end, that relationship should begin to show signs of healing. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A hectic job schedule begins to ease just in time to blow off all that work-generated steam on Halloween. A family situation runs into an unexpected complication. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A cutting remark in the workplace needs to be handled with finesse. Remember: How you respond could determine the depth of support you gain from colleagues. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Once again, that Capricornean stubborn streak sets in and could keep you from getting muchneeded advice. Fortunately, it lifts by week’s end, in time to make an informed decision. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A surprise trip early in the week could lead to other unexpected offers when you return. Word to the wise: Avoid talking too much about this until you’ve made some decisions. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Learning dominates the week for perspicacious Pisceans, who are always looking to widen their range of knowledge. A series of important job-linked commitments begins late in the week. BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of humor generates good feelings and good will everywhere you go.

Decatur Business Center • West Ocean City

(Oct. 18, 2013) The well known and popular Branson touring act known as “Branson On The Road” will be coming to West Ocean City for a limited engagement on Oct. 18. This stop will be another leg on their ongoing North American Tour that has been performing to sold out audiences in many states. Branson On The Road is regularly seen on The RFD Television network's popular programs Midwest Country and Larry's Country Diner. The act describes itself as the kind of show most people thought was long gone in this day of overproduced music and overused special effects. In the same tradition as the traveling road shows during the glory days of the Grand Ole Opry, the Louisiana Hayride and the first Branson music shows, “Branson On The Road” promises to

keep you tapping, laughing and smiling. The show’s lead singer, Debbie Horton, holds the distinction of being the only woman to have played lead guitar for the late, great Johnny Cash. “We reside in the live music capital of the world, Branson, Missouri”, said Horton, “and realized that there are many people who will never have a chance to visit Branson personally and with the economy the way it is today, we decided to bring our Branson stage show directly to them.” “Branson On The Road” will perform one show only at The OC Jamboree in West Ocean City. Show time is 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 18. Reservations are strongly urged. Ticket cost $25. For more information and to make reservations, visit www.ocjam.com or call The OC Jamboree box office at 410213-7581.

Some money used locally for programs, services, education committee’s endless unseen hours of work and dedication.” While some of the money raised through the Pink Ribbon Classic will be earmarked for national breast cancer research, the remainder will stay on the Eastern Shore, where it will be used for education projects, patient programs and services. Some of those include free wigs for patients; the Look Good Feel Better program, which teaches patients how to cope with the cosmetic side-effects of treatment; Reach to Recovery, a one-on-one support visitation program by trained breast cancer survivors for new patients;

Road to Recovery, which offers patients transportation to and from medical facilities for cancer treatments; Hope Lodge, lodging during treatment; Patient Navigator Program, help with the health care system; Cancer Survivors Network and a 24-hour/seven-day information center with oncology nurses or social workers. All of these services are free. One in two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer reaches out to the ACS for help and support.

JJ Roth, newest on-air deejay for Seacrets’ Irie Radio station Catch ‘The Show with JJ Roth’ weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on 98.1FM CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) A new deejay is on the air at Seacrets’ Irie Radio, FM 98.1, week days from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. JJ Roth, of the self-titled “The Show with JJ Roth,” described his most recent career move as “the perfect storm,” offering better hours, a shorter commute and a more cooperative studio than his previous radio jobs. “It’s all led to this point,” Roth said, “and I’m happy to be here.” The Hollywood, Md., native’s nineyear career in radio started at age 21 as a college student, when he received an offer for a full-time job at a Maryland radio station. “I had to make a decision: Do I get a degree and search for a job, or do I do something I actually enjoy every day?” he said. Roth went on to spend more than five years at the now-defunct 96 Rock station in Salisbury, moving for an-

other three years with 93.5 The Beach in Georgetown, Del. For the last five years, he’s been commuting from Ocean City, and said he’s happy to have landed a job closer to home. “It’s amazing,” Roth said. “It’s like night and day compared to where I’ve been.” At his previous jobs, Roth worked late nights and early mornings. “I would go to bed when people get up, and vise versa,” he said. “This is the first time in my professional career that I’m loving to do what I love, if that makes sense.” Roth joins other radio personalities like Bulldog and Big Al Reno of the Rude Awakening Show and DJ BK at Irie Radio. “He is a perfection addition to our family,” BK said. Roth started working at Irie Radio Oct. 3, and summed his experience so far in one sentence: “When I wake up in the morning, I actually wish I’d gotten up a half hour earlier to go to work.” Catch “The Show with JJ Roth” on FM 98.1 weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit www.ocean98.com to learn more about the station and deejays.

CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Oct. 18, 2013) Ocean City restaurants will offer off-menu dishes at discounted prices all week as the fifth annual restaurant week continues today through Sunday, Oct. 27. Though the promotional event is dubbed Restaurant Week, it is actually a two-week event that started Oct. 13. Around 20 restaurants are offering menus designed specifically for the special at fixed prices of $10, $20, $30 or $40, from casual to fine dining. “It is a great way to support dining locally,” Executive Director of the HotelMotel-Restaurant Association Susan Jones said. While the specials help bring diners into all participating restaurants during the resort’s shoulder season, the eateries that see the biggest boost in business are those with the most creative Restaurant Week menus, she said.

Sauteed duck breasts and braised legs make wonderful confit FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Carcass and wings basis of sensational stock DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer

(Oct. 18, 2013) Taking a risk is part of a chef’s repertoire; nothing ventured, nothing gained. Depart from the path of familiarity and venture into an arena of progression. No other bird boasts as much flavor and utility as duck. Sauteed duck breasts and braised legs make a wonderful confit, the carcass and wings are the basis of a sensational stock, and the rendered fat lends incredible depth to fried foods. Select the breed that best suits the desired dish being prepared. For dishes like duck a l’orange, in which various duck parts are cooked separately, a mild, meaty Pekin duck is preferred. Pekin is available at supermarkets, inexpensive, and easy to work with. Muscovy duck often has a strong flavor that tends to be gamy and is ideal for roasting or stewing. Whichever bird chosen, it will be a delectable departure from the usual meat courses. The first issue at hand is the level of fat. Duck meat is encased in a thick layer of fat which is not a pretty prospect.

However, if one knows how to properly cook duck, the fatty obstacle can easily be resolved. The secret to obtaining crispy duck skin is to score the skin without piercing the meat. Sauteing the breast with the skin side down over low heat for an extended period of time allows the fat to literally melt out of the skin. Reserve this liquid gold for future use. Details equate comprehension. Score the skin into Âź inch intervals. Rotate the breast and score again, making a crisscross pattern. Season the duck with herbs and spices determined by the recipe. Preheat iron skillet to medium-low heat. Place the breast skin-side down for approximately 8 to 12 minutes or until the fat has reduced significantly. Turn the breast over and cook one and a half minutes. At this point the duck can be refrigerated for future use. Otherwise, place the duck in a 400-degree oven for several minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees (medium-rare). Allow the meat to rest before serving. Grilled duck is absolutely delicious and follows the same procedure as sautĂŠed duck breast. The only difference is to start the cooking process on a stove and transfer the meat to a hot grill once

the fat has been reduced. Grill the breasts 3 to 4 minutes meat side down over very hot coals. Then turn over and finish 2 to 3 minutes. Again, allow the duck to rest before serving. Hunting season for regular waterfowl in Maryland closes on October 19. Duck liver mousse permeated with brandied cream creates a silky, delectable spread. Serving it over slices of toasted baguettes adds an incredible layer of texture. INGREDIENTS: 2 ½ pounds duck livers, cleaned and trimmed 1 teaspoon Herbs de Province ½ teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon fresh, ground pepper Ÿ teaspoon white pepper 2 tablespoons rendered duck fat 1 cup duck stock 1 cup chicken stock ½ cup good quality brandy 3 sticks unsalted butter 1 cup heavy cream 1 large baguette, sliced at an angle, and toasted. The slices should be Ÿ-inch thick. 1. Place the livers in a non-reactive bowl. Add Herbs de Province, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and white pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. 2. In a skillet over medium-high heat,

melt the duck fat. When the fat starts to sizzle, add the seasoned livers and saute for 5 minutes, constantly turning. The inside should be pink. Refrigerate, uncovered for 2 hours. 3. It is important to get the stock and brandy evenly incorporated into the pureed duck livers. As a result, divide the livers, butter, stock, and 3 tablespoons of brandy into 3 batches. Puree each batch separately. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the flavored puree into a large bowl. Combine the 3 batches and mix thoroughly. Adjust for any seasoning if necessary. 4. Press liver mixture through a sieve over a clean bowl to achieve smooth texture. 5. In another clean bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Add the remaining 5 tablespoons of brandy and continue whipping until blended. Then fold into the duck mousse. 6. Place the duck mousse into a 6-cup bowl. The bowl should be decorative, since this will be part of the presentation. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Serve with slices of toasted baguettes.

lamingo turns 50 Owner recalls decades of running motel

CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

(Oct. 18, 2013) When her husband died in a boating accident in 1978, a former school teacher took over the family motel business. More than 30 years later, Rose Brous has been with the Flamingo Motel for 48 of its 50 years, celebrating the Flamingo’s 50th anniversary on Sunday, Oct. 6. “The years went by very quickly,” Brous, the motel’s owner, said. “I feel old, but I love it.” The Flamingo has changed over the years, growing from 23 units to 112, including efficiencies. The original rooms has no telephones, TVs, air conditioning, refrigerators or microwaves, but now feature them all, Brous said, “When Ocean City tried to grow, we tried to grow,” she said. “It’s changed so much.” “Back in the day, Memorial Day to Labor Day, you’d just turn on the sign and wait. It’s a different

animal now,” her son and motel General Manager Joel Brous said. The Flamingo opened in 1962 under the ownership of its builder, Hugh Wilde. The next year, Wilde sold the business to George Brous, along with his parents Nicholas and Roberta. Two years later, Rose and George married, and the couple soon moved to Ocean City year-round. “I worked my summers in Ocean City waiting tables at Embers when it was on Ninth Street, paying my way through college,” Brous said, so “it was very easy to adjust.” Adjusting to losing her husband in 1978, however, took some time. “I was a school teacher. I was thinking about going back to school,” Brous said. “But I decided to keep the motel.” She used her teaching background to run the hotel, organizing staff and bookings from the front office.

Three generations work at 31st Street motel “The front desk was my teacher’s desk,” Brous said. As her sons Joel and Nick Brous got older, they joined the business. “They were a big help, and they never asked for any special privileges,” Rose Brous said, recalling Joel at age 3 carrying rolls of toilet paper to guests’ rooms. “It was a pretty cool place to grow up,” Joel Brous said of Ocean City.

The Flamingo still has loyal guests that return year after year, many with their favorite rooms, Rose Brous said. “There’s a lot of people you know by name,” she said. “It’s been really fun with the families that come here, seeing their kids grow up.” “It’s been crazy, but fun,” Joel Brous said. Though she wasn’t immediately sure about keeping the business in 1978, Rose

Brous said she felt lucky to have a business in Ocean City. “In Ocean City, we all work together,” she said. “We compete with each other, but we all work together to promote Ocean City.” The Flamingo Motel will be open until mid-October, closing until late March. It celebrated its 50th year this summer with anniversary specials and a reception last Saturday attended by around 100 friends, family members and motel guests.

Federal government shutdown affecting real estate industry REAL ESTATE REPORT

Some housing programs suspended or slowed LAUREN BUNTING Contributing Writer (Oct. 18, 2013) At the time of this report, Congress was still in negotiations to re-open the federal government, and it can’t be too soon for the real estate industry. Many government programs, including some that affect federal housing mortgage programs, have been suspended or slowed due to the lapse in government funding. According to a report released by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) last week on what the government shutdown means for Realtors, the following agencies are affected and, in turn, will, affect real estate transactions: INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE The IRS is closed and has suspended the processing of all forms, including requests for tax return transcripts (Form 4506T). This form is required by many lenders, so delays can be expected. NAR had received indications that many loan originators are adopting revised policies during the shutdown, such as allowing for processing and closings with income verification to follow, as long as the borrower has signed a Form 4506T requesting IRS tax transcripts. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have also adopted relaxed provisions allowing closings on loans

requiring a Form 4506T. SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION The Social Security Administration is closed and has suspended most customer service functions. According to the SSA Contingency Plan, verifying Social Security numbers through the Consent Based SSN Verification Service will also be suspended during the shutdown, a further complication for mortgage processing. Policies vary among lenders, with some choosing to exercise forbearance during the shutdown period subject to subsequent verification. FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) contingency plan states that FHA will endorse new loans in the Single Family Mortgage Loan Program, but it will not make new commitments in the Multi-Family Program during the shutdown. FHA will maintain operational activities, such as paying claims and collecting premiums. FLOOD INSURANCE The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) confirmed that the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) will not be affected by a government shutdown since the NFIP is funded by premiums and not tax dollars. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed Realtor with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Jacobs, who began his journalism career in Ocean City in 1974 as an intern and returned in 1975 as a staff writer for the then Eastern Shore Times and Beachcomber, will have authority over the papers’ news operations, while Dobson will relinquish the position of editor and focus on running the business. “Phil and I both worked at the Beachcomber back then and we have kept track of each other over the years, with the possibility always in mind that he might one day join Ocean City Today,” Dobson said. “We began discussing that prospect in earnest about three years ago, but the timing was never right until now.” Jacobs, 60, and a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Journalism, went on to become an award-winning writer and editor of the Baltimore Jewish Times, The Detroit

Jewish News and, most recently, Washington Jewish Week. He and his wife, Lisa, a speech therapist with the Anne Arundel County school system, have two grown children, DeDe Jacobs-Komisar of New Haven, Ct. and Emily Minton of Gaithersburg. “This is a dream come true for me and for Lisa,” said Jacobs. “Working with Stewart and serving this community is exactly what I want to be doing. I’m looking forward to working with Stewart, Managing Editor Lisa Capitelli and the entire staff as we cover this wonderful community.” Dobson, 66, who also serves as president of the paper’s corporation, Flag Publication Inc., said the company’s growth over the past 20 years has made it impractical for one person to oversee news and business and give both aspects the attention they require. Flag owns Ocean City Today, Bayside Gazette and is affiliated with Coastal Point in Bethany Beach, Del. “I am not retiring, nor do I have any plans to retire,” Dobson said. “I’m simply redirecting my attention knowing that this move will allow us to do some exciting things for our readers and customers going into 2014.”
