(Oct. 4, 2013) Assateague Island National Seashore greeted visitors with signs flashing “FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN” and “NATIONAL SEASHORE CLOSED” on Tuesday, in the wake of the federal government shutdown. Several local agencies closed until further notice while others faced unsure prospects for the future as the U.S. government closed.

of its few remaining employees redirected traffic to the State Park beach area, which remains open for a $4 fee. With excellent waves Tuesday, the State Park bustled with surfers and other beachgoers who were blocked from the national seashore Tuesday, the park’s Acting Manager James Barbely said. That could create a problem tomorrow, however, as up to 7,000 bicyclists are expected to converge in the park as part of the Sea Gull Century bike race, new Park Manager Angela Baldwin said Thursday.

Assateague National Seashore closed, Maryland park open â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, since we only are going to have our (state park) area for access, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve re-routed where the bicycles are going,â&#x20AC;? Baldwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting a lot of congestion.â&#x20AC;? She advised visitors to avoid Assateague until after 12 p.m. Saturday. Campers at the national park were given 48 hours to leave, he said, and only outflowing traffic was allowed into the camping area. In addition, all facilities, including restrooms and water were expected to be shutdown on Tuesday. Scheduled school field trips and the start of the hunting season at the national seashore would be on hold during the shutdown, said an employee, who did not want to be named. Most of the National Park Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Assateague staff of around 40 was sent home, with just a few law enforcement officers and maintenance staff remaining, he said. To the south, on Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Shore, NASA Wallops Flight Facility also sent home workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Due to the gov't shutdown, all public NASA activities/events are cancelled or postponed until further Continued from Page 1A

Other area agencies were uncertain how the shutdown might affect them if it continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how this will affect or impact us,â&#x20AC;? said Alicia Robinson, Planning Coordinator for SHORE UP!

With 16 centers on Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Shore, the program hosts 1,069 children of up to five years of age and employs more than 300 people, she said. Other groups, such as the Assateague Coastal Trust and Maryland Coastal Bays, will see no direct effect, but could suffer from the closing of their federal partners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The downside for us is that our federal partners at (the) EPA, FWS, NPS and USGS canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their good work to protect the coastal bays,â&#x20AC;? Executive Director for Maryland Coastal Bays Dave Wilson said. The U.S. Coast Guard, like other branches of the military, will not be affected by the closure.

Powerboat World Championships in OC this weekend CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer

The Saris Racing team heads back through the inlet after competing in the first power boat race last year off the coast of Ocean City. Ocean City was the first stop of the Offshore Powerboat Association’s 2012 Offshore Racing Series, sponsored by AMSOIL. The Saris team placed second in the Class 5 division during the Bull on the Beach Offshore Grand Prix in Ocean City.

(Oct. 4, 2013) Ocean City will be the last stop of eight in the 2013 Offshore Powerboat Association’s World Championships this Sunday. Visitors will have several chances to meet the racers and see the boats throughout the weekend, starting today, Friday, leading up to Sunday’s high-speed races off the city’s coast. The event is expected to draw between 30 and 35 powerboats, competing in seven classes, OPA President Edward Smith said. “It’s an ocean race, so the aerial acrobatics is usually what people like,” he said. “Even if it’s flat, there’s still enough there to send the boats flying.” The race draws between 15,000 and 20,000 people each year, who watch the races from any spot along the Boardwalk and beach, he said. The course itself runs a two-mile stretch from Third to 40th streets, where the boats will race in two or three heats around a loop. The winner of the World Championships will take home a prize, not yet determined by press time, but usually worth around $50,000, Smith said. See FANS on Page 5A

County Health Department to assist with insurance sign-ups Residents in Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties may call hotline NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Oct. 4, 2013) Many Lower Shore residents are expected to call a local hotline for assistance in applying for affordable

health insurance options that opened for enrollment Tuesday. Federal government officials estimated that most people, 75 percent, would apply for health insurance themselves by going online and the remaining 25 percent would need help, Worcester County Health Officer Debbie Goeller told the Worcester County Commissioners. “We estimate just the reverse of that,” Goeller said.

Fans can meet racers Fri. and Sat. Other weekend events include two meet-the-racer parties, today and Saturday, both at 7 p.m. On Friday, the public is invited to take photos and get autographs from the teams at Crab Alley in West Ocean City. The Saturday party will be at the West Ocean City public boat ramp, near the restaurant, where visitors can check out the boats before the race. All day today, boats will arrive at the staging area at the West Ocean City harbor. Cranes will lift them into the water, providing “a very cool event to watch,” Smith said. On Saturday, testing on the boats throughout the day gives spectators another chance to see them in action. The Ocean City World Championship Continued from Page 4A

race dates back more than a decade, but faced a seven- or eight-year hiatus before returning to the city five years ago, when Smith was named president of the OPA, he said. He approached Phil Houck of Bull on the Beach, a former promoter of the event, and together they brought the race back to Ocean City. Sunday’s races will start at noon and 2 p.m. and, if weather warrants a third heat at 3:30 p.m. There will be an awards ceremony Sunday at 7 p.m. at Crab Alley. Visitors can watch the races from anywhere on the Boardwalk and beach, Smith said. For more information on the Ocean City Offshore Powerboat Association’s World Championships, visit www.oparacing.org.

Residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties may call the Worcester County Health Department’s new public hotline for assistance in applying for affordable health insurance options offered through the state health insurance marketplace, Maryland Health Connection. The Worcester County Health Department launched the hotline, 855-4455540, to make it convenient for Lower Shore residents to get personal help with applying for health insurance options and financial assistance to make health care plans affordable. The hotline will be staffed 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. In addition to calling the hotline, residents may enroll into affordable health

care plans by calling or meeting with local, trained staff of the Worcester County Health Department. To meet in person with Health Department employees, who will hold regular office hours at various locations in the three counties, people should call the hotline to make an appointment. Information about the locations and community events where the Health Department employees will be available will be online at www.lowershorehealth.org. “It’s a virtual shopping experience,” Kat Gunby, the Health Department’s program coordinator for the county’s endeavor, told the Worcester County Health Department on Tuesday. “It’s simple, one-stop shopping.” The Worcester County Health DeSee APPROX. on Page 6A

The program is using a multipronged approach, including community enrollment and education events, public service announcements and advertising, to reach the 23,000 uninsured residents of Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties. Certified staff will be available at various organizations throughout each county to meet with people, distribute information and answer any questions

pertaining to Maryland Health Connection and the plans offered through the state insurance marketplace. For more information, visit lowershorehealth.org or call 855-445-5540.

Approximately 5,500 Worcester County residents are without health insurance. People who want to enroll themselves into a health insurance plan in Maryland may visit www.marylandhealthconnection.gov.

Hit and run investigation ongoing NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Oct. 4, 2013) Police continue to seek assistance in locating the truck involved in the Sept. 20 hit and run collision that killed the owner of T-shirt shops on the Boardwalk. An unknown suspect was driving a full-sized red Ford pickup truck on Route 50 near Elm Street in West Ocean City when he struck Jerold Lee Sharoff, 58. Sharoff was taken to Atlantic General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The truck driver continued driving toward Ocean City and witnesses lost track of it. According to Maryland State Police, the truck’s driver’s side front fender, bumper and headlight region sustained damage and the truck is missing a clear thin headlight lens and an amber marker light lens. Anyone who was in the area at the time of the collision and who saw anything unusual or anyone who is aware of the whereabouts of the red truck or its driver is asked to call Maryland State Police at the Berlin barrack at 410-641-3101.

Resort area residents could be victims of Freer’s Ponzi scheme Local condo owner ran fraudulent investment service worth $10 million NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Oct. 4, 2013) Some Ocean City residents could be victims of a Pennsylvania man who was arrested last Friday after allegedly cheating scores of people in that state out of millions of dollars in a Ponzi scheme. Nearly all of the 82 known victims of Richard Allen Freer, 67, of Palmer Township, lost their entire life savings. Freer, who owned two condominiums on 26th Street in Ocean City and appears to have lease agreements for three oth-

ers, was charged with 90 counts each of theft by deception and failure to make required disposition of funds, plus 50 counts of forgery and related crimes. He was taken to the county prison in lieu of $10 million bail. On Wednesday during a bail hearing, a judge refused to lower the bail to $1 million as Freer’s defense attorney requested and instead, withdrew the 10 percent option, meaning Freer must pay the entire $10 million to be released. The judge also ordered that no Ocean City residence he owns be sold until the case is resolved. At least one of the residences he had owned in Ocean City was foreclosed and is now owned by a bank. According to a source familiar with the case, Freer had been, some time ago, a member of the board of directors of the resort condominium where he

ATLANTIC DENTAL COSMETIC & FAMILY DENTISTRY Thee Gina Renee Piazza • 12308 Ocean Gateway, Suite 6 Ocean City, Maryland, 21842

owned two units. Freer worked for Aviva insurance company after leaving his job as a bank executive in Pennsylvania, but was reportedly no longer with that company at the time of his arrest. According to Northampton District Attorney John Morganelli, people would invest with Freer, but instead of investing their money, Freer would use it to pay previous investors in a typical Ponzi scheme or deposit it into his own bank account. The Ponzi scheme came to light after one victim ran into trouble with the IRS because of the money she gave Freer to invest, according to published reports. That victim contacted an accountant, who contacted an attorney, who contacted the District Attorney’s Office. After that first victim, additional victims contacted authorities. The victims reportedly include at least two of Freer’s relatives. The majority of the phony investments, which total approximately $10 million, were in 2009 and they continued until this past summer. The case remains under investigation and Morganelli said during a press conference that there could be an additional $5 million to $6 million unaccounted for and additional victims who had not yet contacted them. A Pennsylvania detective who wished

Richard Freer

to remain anonymous told Ocean City Today on Wednesday that there were “no Maryland victims at this time. We haven’t discovered any.” The detective added, however, that there could be victims from this area and he anticipates coming to Ocean City as part of his investigation. Anyone who suspects they are one of Freer’s victims may call the Northampton County District Attorney’s Office at 610-559-3020.

The town issued a release this week to reassure citizens that the Ocean City Fire Department is now fully operational out of its temporary home in Northside Park, where it will remain until the department’s Station 4 at 130th Street is rebuilt. “We have been working closely with the Engineering Department and the Recreation and Parks Department and are excited about our temporary home at Northside Park,” OCFD Deputy Chief Chris Shaffer said in the statement. “We want to assure our residents and visitors that we have strategically planned so that our staff and equipment will always be available to them during this transitional period. At no time will any part of town lack fire or EMS coverage.”

Last week, the OCFD finished moving out of the old building on 130th Street and setting up shop in the Recreation and Parks Department’s maintenance garage at the northern end of Jamaica Avenue, roughly a block to the west. Following that, the former Station 4 was demolished. New construction is expected to begin soon. Although several temporary locations were identified, the parks maintenance building was both closest to the current location, minimizing the effect on response times, and easily accommodated the department’s vehicles. The rebuild of Station 4, which is the OCFD’s northernmost outpost, was iden-

(Oct. 4, 2013) A closed, but unlocked sliding glass door in an Ocean City condominium apparently enabled a burglar to enter and assault its residents early Sunday morning. A woman was sleeping when the sound of a man talking in her kitchen awakened her at about 3:10 a.m. She called for her husband, who yelled at the intruder, but the burglar refused to leave. She then pushed her daughter into a room to protect her, entered a closet and dialed 911. After making that call, she left the closet and went into the living room, where she saw her husband wrestling with the intruder. The man grabbed her and said, “I will put you in a sleeper hold too,” but when she felt his forearm on her right temple, she pulled away from his grasp. Her husband also got away from the intruder and they barricaded themselves in the guest room until police arrived. When the first officer arrived, he saw the woman looking out of the guest room window at the 59th Street condominium and pointing at the front door of the unit. He went to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked so he and another officer tried to kick it open. They were unable to get it open. The officer and two other officers then entered the unit through the guest room window. Inside that room, the husband pointed to the door and said the suspect was in the unit on the other side of the door, which was barricaded with a full size bed. As one officer moved the bed and opened the door, another officer drew his Taser. Across the main hallway was an open door to another bedroom. Although the lights were off, the officer could see a man wearing dark colored clothing standing motionless next to a dresser. The officer identified himself as an Ocean City police officer and ordered the man, later identified as Ryan Christopher Hallihan, 23, of Rosedale, to show him his

Ryan Christopher Hallihan

hands. Hallihan remained motionless, so the officer repeated his demand. Hallihan still did not comply, but when the officer stepped to his left, Hallihan started talking to him. The officer then ordered Hallihan to show his hands and to face away from him, but Hallihan did not comply. After telling the other two officers that he was going to use his Taser on the suspect, the officer did just that. One probe made contact with Hallihan’s lower left abdomen and the other deployed on his upper right thigh. Hallihan hesitated, but then went to the ground. Twice, the officer told him to roll onto his stomach, but Hallihan refused and started to yell at the police. Two other officers wrestled his hands behind his back and handcuffed him. Both probes were removed from Hallihan. The probe that made contact with his lower abdomen had penetrated his skin. The second probe only penetrated his jeans. Following departmental regulations after the use of a Taser, EMS was contacted to take Hallihan to Atlantic General Hospital for a medical evaluation. Hallihan was charged with first-, thirdand fourth-degree burglary, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of seconddegree assault, reckless endangerment and malicious destruction of property. He was taken to jail, but released after posting $25,000 bond. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 25 in District Court in Ocean City.

New station estimated at $2.8M tified as the department’s top priority for capital projects back in 2009 due to the concentration of high rises and yearround residents in the area that it serves. Federal stimulus money was anticipated for the project, but never came through, leaving the preliminary plans for the building to sit until the city could leverage a bond to borrow for the project. That money was borrowed in the 2012 municipal bond sale, at a total of $3.35 million. However, the facility has been scaled back considerably from its initial proposal, including eliminating a number of Continued from Page 9A

energy-efficiency designs that would’ve been beneficial but excessively expensive. As it stands now, the facility is expected to cost around $2.8 million. The new building will still provide 11,500 square feet of space, with engine bay and garage having more than onethird more room than the current Station 4. Dedicated accommodations for live-in shift crews, such as kitchens, are also a major feature of the layout. At the same time as the new Station 4 is being built, the town is developing plans to renovate and expand the OCFD’s 15th Street headquarters building.

POLICE BRIEFS

Child abuse On Sept. 25, members of the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office arrested David Wayne Tatman of Willards after a grand jury indicted him for seconddegree child abuse, unnatural or perverted practice, two counts of third-degree sex offense David Tatman and two counts of child abuse. The arrest warrant was the result of several months of investigation that began with a former victim of Tatman filing a report with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. Through further investigation, evidence was obtained that indicated Tatman had indeed committed the

alleged offenses. The case was presented to the Worcester County grand jury, which issued an arrest warrant for Tatman. After being served with the warrant, Tatman was remanded to the custody of the Worcester County Jail on a $200,000 bond. He was released on bond Sept. 26.

On Tuesday afternoon at about 4 p.m., Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputies went to Stephen Decatur High School because of a report of a registered sex offender on school grounds. Deputies located the suspect, Robert Clayton Landis, 67, of Berlin, inside the gated field stadium during a school soccer game. Landis is a Tier II registered sex offender and he was forbidden from being on the property of any school. Landis was arrested and later taken before a District Court commissioner. Landis was released on a $10,000 unsecured bond.

Police witness assault

Two Ocean City police officers saw a man shove a woman twice during an argument they were having on a sidewalk near 37th Street and Coastal Highway on Sept. 29.

They charged Jules Hamilton Phillips, 42, of Dover, Del., with seconddegree assault.

Assault on father

A 27-year-old Pennsylvania woman was arrested Sept. 29 after allegedly assaulting her father. Police were called to a Worcester Street condominium at about 2:20 a.m. Tana Lynn Cummings of Hopwood had allegedly assaulted her father, who had scratch marks on his face.

K-9 trials

On Sept. 22, members of the Worcester County K-9 Unit traveled to Allentown, Pa., to compete in the 2013 Police K-9 Trials. These trials are in memory of fallen Deputy Sheriff and canine handler Kyle Pagerly of the Berks County Sheriff’s Department. Pagerly was killed in the line of duty serving a warrant on June 29, 2011. This is the third annual Police K-9 trial held by the Salisbury Township Police Officers Association. Proceeds benefit the Kyle Pagerly Memorial Fund. Two members of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit brought home trophies. Cpl. Ramey and K-9 Karma took second in Fastest Dog. Cpl.

Three guns recovered from vehicles Stops for traffic violations over past several days led Ocean City police to discovery of weapons NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

(Oct. 4, 2013) Ocean City police recovered three handguns during the past several days. On Saturday, an officer found two guns in a car after stopping it on Coastal Highway for allegedly racing another car. The officer saw a Volkswagen speeding near Herring Way. According to the charging documents, the officer saw five cars braking hard because of the Volkswagen, which was making

reckless maneuvers to avoid a collision. The driver, Calvin Merrion Robinson, 25, of Virginia Beach, Va., also failed to use a turn signal and failed to apply the brakes. Robinson told the officer that he was not speeding, but that he had to speed up to get around someone. While talking to Robinson, the officer saw the handgrip of a .45-caliber gun protruding from the passenger floor at the left foot of the passenger, Lucy Rose Schwartz, 23, of Hampton, Va. Robinson said the gun was his and that it was not concealed. He also said he did not have a permit for the gun and said, “You do not have to register a gun in Virginia.” The gun was unloaded but two magazines with eight .45-caliber rounds were in the driver’s map door pocket. The officer also saw a loaded five-shot Taurus

(Oct. 4, 2013) Besides the will to practice and rehearse, true preparedness often takes a great deal of imagination. Case in point: On Saturday morning, emergency personnel from Ocean City and surrounding jurisdictions responded to what was, for all intents and purposes, the leakage of 3,000 gallons of marine fuel into the bay following a catastrophic explosion at the downtown

Coast Guard station. What passing boaters may have actually seen, however, were first responders carefully securing a mud-colored slick of wood chips and flour. The activity was part of Saturday’s intensive emergency simulation, coordinated by the Town of Ocean City’s Department of Emergency Services along with allied agencies from across the Eastern Shore. “This was to test the coordination between all the different entities and see how we handle a crisis scenario,” said city Emergency Services Director Joe Theobald, who described the exercise as “very successful” following its completion. The simulation modeled a scenario in See SCENARIO on Page 15A

Robinson was also charged with traffic violations. Last Friday, police recovered a 9 mm automatic handgun from a vehicle an officer had stopped because a sign was

blocking the view from the window. While talking to the driver, Daniel Jacob Butler, 23, of Erie, Pa., the officer saw a Pennsylvania conceal carry permit in Butler’s wallet, which he had opened. The officer asked Butler if he had a firearm in the car and Butler said he did. Butler exited the vehicle and the officer then located the handgun on the left side of the driver’s seat. Butler was charged with having a handgun in a vehicle, having a handgun on his person and driving a vehicle with the view blocked by a sign.

Scenario tests multiple assets which an explosive device, detonated at the U.S. Coast Guard headquarters at Wicomico Street, caused a massive spill of the Coast Guard’s fuel reserves. First responders would have to secure the scene, extinguish any fires, evacuate injured persons from the station, and then contain the leak. “With this scenario, we wanted to be able to test our assets across the board,” Theobald said. Agencies involved included the Ocean City Fire Department, Ocean City Police Department, Ocean City and Worcester County Emergency Management, Salisbury Fire Department, Maryland State Police Dive Team, United States Coast Guard, Delaware Hazmat Response and the Ocean City Crisis Communication Team. All of these assets, Theobald said, would likely come into play during such a severe incident. The only agencies missing were at the federal level. “Keep in mind that the timeline may be off,” Theobald said. “If there was an actual bombing, the FBI would likely freeze the scene and we would be here for many more hours before we finished our own response.” Saturday was the first full-scale simulation and exercise conducted in the resort in several years. “We’re required to do a full-scale scenario every five years, but we do smallerscale drills on a regular basis,” Theobald said.

Total service calls came to 2,207, versus 1,658 last year, a 33 percent increase. However, the vast majority of these calls, 1,786, 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. Although the OCPD has clearly been stepping up its enforcement, the sudden appearance of VWs in the resort for the last weekend of September is by no means a new occurrence. The influx centers on the H2O International, or H2Oi, as patrons commonly abbreviate it, a car show held in the resort area for its 14th year in 2013.

Raw Bar

The first 11 shows were held at Ocean Downs, according to event organizer Jay Shoup. The event was then moved to grounds owned by Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School, although this caused problems given the school’s poor drainage and the wet weather of the 2011 event. Last year’s show, as well as this year’s, was staged at the Fort Whaley Campground. Shoup could not be reached for comment this year. However, before the event last year, he confirmed that event attendance has been growing and that the show has, he believes, developed a mutually beneficial relationship with the town given the number of hotels and restaurants patronized by H2Oi attendees. Further, the 2012 event did not coSee H2Oi on Page 16A

(Oct. 4, 2013) As the name would indicate, Volkswagen is definitely the people’s car. At least it was this past weekend in the resort, as swarms of the automobiles gathered in the area for the H2O International car show, an event that, while taking place outside of the city limits, has become popularly associated with Ocean City whether the resort likes it or not. But while the show is an unsolicited affair, many local businesses are reporting a more profitable and less unruly weekend than in years past, likely because of intensive enforcement by the Ocean City Police Department. “We had a stronger weekend with the VWs than we did with bike week,” said Drew Davis, manager of the 45th Street Taphouse. “Honestly, I think it

went better. We were able to control it better.” “We definitely had an enormous crowd,” said Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association Executive Director Susan Jones. “Out of the members I’ve talked to, it depends on the type of restaurant as to how well they did.” “Pizza shops, breakfast places, things like that had a huge weekend,” Jones said. “I would say the less expensive places fared best. This was definitely not a filet mignon crowd.” According to data provided by the Ocean City Police Department, police 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.

incide with Sunfest as it had in years past – a schedule he expected to aid both events by avoiding the obvious conflict between his show’s predominantly younger crowd and Sunfest’s largely older one. Again this year, the H2Oi occurred the weekend after Sunfest. Given that 2014 Sunfest dates have already been set for the next-to-last weekend in September, it is likely that next year’s programs will also not conflict. The H2Oi itself is only a SaturdaySunday event. However, the culture surrounding the show has grown far outside of Shoup’s purview. Many attendees arrive almost a week in ad-

vance, and third-party promoters hold their own events in the days leading up to the H2Oi proper. Many of these spin-off events, sponsored by VW-centric brands or clubs not associated with Shoup’s show, are held on lots in the resort without the property owner’s explicit permission and publicized discreetly. Several spin-off shows, for instance, were advertised via social media and online VW discussion forums as taking place at Roses’s on 94th Street, despite the store itself knowing nothing about it. “We don’t host them or anything, they just congregate here for some reason,” a Rose’s employee said. At 45th Street, Davis said the Taphouse had an agreement with a thirdparty promoter to use the parking lot on Thursday or Friday, with the recognition that the cars would likely show up whether the restaurant was prepared for them or not. “There were more of them, and they came earlier,” Davis said. “We hired security and everything we needed to have those two nights go smoothly, which I think they did. It would’ve been chaos otherwise.” Promoters have also approached the city about using the convention center parking lot for H2Oi-associated events. “We’ve been asked several times at the beginning of every year about holding a car show that weekend at the convention center,” said Convention See OC on Page 17A

OC police step up enforcement for tuner-specific violations Center Director Larry Noccolino. “Whether those promoters are part of the show at Fort Whaley, or are independent, was never made clear to me.” These proposals have been rejected, Noccolino said, given that the facility already has long-standing events such as the Gem, Mineral, and Jewelry Show taking place that weekend. “Those events already generate a lot of traffic for us. They’ve been with us for a while and there’s no doubt they’ll continue,” Noccolino said. “I don’t see the possibility that we could ever rent the lot to a car show without displacing the sure-fire events that we already have.” “To take the lot, you have to take the majority of the building, because it’s impotent with no parking,” said Convention Center Sales Director Fred Wise. However, much as with other locations around town, it was nearly impossible to keep the cars out. The convention center lot was cleared of loitering vehicles five times in 24 hours, Noccolino said, twice on Friday and three times on Saturday. “They were very nice about it and not combative when we asked them to leave,” Noccolino said. “But as soon as you’d kick them out, more would show up.” H2O International takes the automotive niche market to its logical extreme. The rally is exclusive to the family of small, water-cooled engines first introduced by Volkswagen and Audi to the US in 1974 to combat similar, high-efficiency designs being pushed by the Japanese. Despite not having the collector value of Beetles and other air-cooled, Boxer-engine designs, the modern Volkswagen has developed a cult following amongst tuning enthusiasts for its reliable adaptability and ease of performance. However, the culture of secondhand modification is highly susceptible to trends, not all of which are practical. Unsafe or illegally modified vehicles have been heavily targeted by law enforcement. “I know the big issue this year was camber,” said OCPD Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay O’Neal. “That was a trend that popped up this year that we knew we wanted to address.” Camber refers to the angle of a vehicle’s tires relative to a perfect vertical Continued from Page 16A

plane. Most cars, with their suspension at rest, have no perceptible camber angle. But installing shorter shock absorbers in a vehicle not made for them will pivot the wheels up via their connection to the car’s frame, creating what is known as “negative camber.” Maryland law prohibits what it refers to as “excessive camber,” something that is plainly visible when traveling behind a car whose tires appear to be flared out at an extreme angle. This reduced the contact area of the rubber to the road, decreasing traction and increasing the likelihood of skids. “It’s really dangerous,” O’Neal said. “It was a big problem to the point where we actually towed some people because we didn’t want them getting back into busy traffic with their car set up like that.”

OCPD officers also pulled over cars to check for violations such as headlight height – a 24-inch minimum in Maryland, which many lowered VWs do not meet – or excessive stickers blocking the driver’s view. Despite, or likely because of, the heavy OCPD enforcement, Jones said HMRA establishments found this year’s larger crowd to be somewhat easier to deal with than previous years. “In years past, I’ve had hotel owners say that their rooms were ripped up, fixtures torn out and stuff like that,” Jones said. “But I even called a couple of them who had complained in the past, and they said their guests were well-behaved this year.” Still, many locals have complained to City Hall, and this newspaper, about the traffic scenario caused by H2Oi,

which made Coastal Highway nearly impassable through most of the day Saturday. One resident alleged that he was profiled by the OCPD for driving a German-made car, despite being a recognized businessman likely three times the average age of show attendees. “I’ve asked for more data from the police, and that will be distributed to the whole council as well as Mr. Recor [City Manager David Recor],” said City Councilman and Recreation and Parks Commission Chair Joe Mitrecic. However, Mitrecic said he doubted there was anything different that the town could do to handle the event. “The bottom line is that it’s not a city-sponsored event,” he said. “The only thing we can do is to try to keep everybody safe while they’re here and make sure the rules aren’t broken.”

Contract awarded for Pines Plaza water, sewer connection Commissioners skeptical about extreme variance in bids for extension work NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

The Pines Plaza and nearby businesses will be hooked up to county sewer treatment to provide reliable service and stimulate economic development.

(Oct. 4, 2013) Despite some misgivings about a low bid, the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday awarded the contract to extend water and sewer services to the Pines Plaza area. That approval, however, is contingent on a successful public hearing to be held Nov. 5. “I’m not comfortable,” Commissioner

Madison Bunting said. “How can there be such a variance?” Commissioner Virgil Shockley also said he was uncomfortable with the bid and questioned how the bid could be so far below the other bids received for the project. The low bidder, A.P. Croll & Son of Georgetown, Del., submitted a bid of $415,569 for the construction of water and sewer lines. The next lowest bid was $537,000 submitted by Teal Construction of Dover, Del. Two other bids, $550,766.26 and $585,660, were also submitted. Public Works Director John Tustin said that A.P. Croll & Son had not performed work for his department in the recent past, but he had discussed the company with some of its local clients and was told the company is qualified to complete the work. “I do feel comfortable with AP Croll,” Tustin said. In addition to Croll’s price, the cost of the project includes $35,000 for engineering, $18,000 for administrative expenses and $41,431 for construction contingency expenses for a total of $510,000. County employees will do construction inspection in-house on a daily basis. “We’re ready to move forward,” Tustin said. Funding for the project is projected to come from the county’s general fund with reimbursement being made as the customers connect. If the county did not fund the project, economic development in the area simply would not happen, Tustin told the commissioners during a July meeting. In February 2012, the county commissioners passed a resolution to authorize providing water and sewer service to the Pines Plaza commercial area from the Ocean Pines sanitary service area because of failing septic systems. The Pines Plaza has approximately 493 feet along Cathell Road of Route 589. The shopping center, which was built in the mid-1980s, has about 63,900 square feet, with 18 commercial units ranging in size from 750 square feet to 24,650 square feet in addition to a freestanding car wash. In addition to the Pines Plaza, the project will include nearby businesses, McDonald’s, 7-Eleven and others in the area. The Ocean Pines wastewater treatment plant has sufficient capacity to handle the increased flow and no expansion is needed for the project. The county must acquire utility easements from affected property owners before the work can be completed. All of those property owners have been contacted and the majority of them have signed and returned the easement documents. Work in areas where property owners have not signed and returned easement documents must be postponed until those easements are obtained.

(Oct. 4, 2013) For nearly a year, the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce has participated in a collaborative effort to help Maryland become more economically competitive. The chamber participated in the Maryland Competitiveness Coalition in an effort to bring business to the state and especially this area. “We wanted to be sure we had local participation,” Melanie Pursel, the chamber’s executive director, told the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday. The Maryland Competitiveness Coalition was organized to strive to make the state a global leader in technology, innovation and private enterprise. Dedication to that vision will make Maryland’s economy and workforce stronger and more competitive around the nation and throughout the

world, according to the coalition. It was spearheaded by the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and led by businesses, Pursel said. Pursel attended several sessions of the coalition, which culminated in an all-day economic summit Sept. 6 at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, attended by approximately 200 business leaders, elected officials and a couple of gubernatorial candidates. The coalition’s work is not over. It will be developing its action plan for the next few years. Pursel said she would keep the commissioners apprised of the chamber’s role. She also said the chamber is working on its state legislative issues now and would be in contact with the commissioners about county issues. “Keep up the good work,” said Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners. Commissioner Judy Boggs asked whether Worcester County might be overlooked because of its small, rural nature and Pursel said that was possible. “There are some issues we’ll have to tackle ourselves, like transportation,” Pursel said. “At least having a voice and letting them know our concerns is very important,” Pursel said.

Development proposed for OC inlet bayside lot Commission asks for new parking layout given size, shape of downtown site ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer

(Oct. 4, 2013) The largest development project in years for Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far-downtown area was presented to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning and Zoning Commission this week, with the board requesting that the design be revisited at its next meeting to resolve vehicle access issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a significant spot in this town,â&#x20AC;? said Commission Chair Pam Buckley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone getting bottlenecked in because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one access for a 300seat restaurant is a big problem.â&#x20AC;? The plan, as presented to the commission, called for a 10,893-square-foot facility to be used as a restaurant and tiki bar as well as employee housing. The restaurant would occupy the first floor of the three-story structure, with an open-air bar deck on the second floor as well as a multi-bedroom housing unit. The third floor would house a more upscale managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment. The building is sited on South Philadelphia Avenue between what is,

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK RECOGNIZED

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

Worcester County Fire Marshal Jeff McMahon holds a proclamation recognizing Oct. 6-12 as Fire Prevention Week. Worcester County Commissioners presented the proclamation to him Tuesday. McMahon stated that fire is the third leading cause of home fatalities, and developing and practicing a fire safety plan along with installing and maintaining working smoke alarms can mean the difference between life and death during a home fire.

(Oct. 4, 2013) Despite sluggish starts up and down the East Coast, beach resorts including Ocean City seem to have recovered some of their losses in the last month of the summer season Data for August shows Ocean City’s room occupancy up 0.9 percent from August of 2012, and its revenue per available room, occupied or not, up 3.7 percent for this August over last year. Year-to-date, however, occupancy is down 2 percent over the same span last year, but revenue per available room is up 0.4 percent That data comes from a monthly report by Smith Travel Research, which aggregates booking information from partnered hotels, typically large franchise chains. “At our last board meeting, I was definitely the consensus that our season started out really slow and rebounded by August,” said Susan Jones, Executive Director of the Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association. In June of this year, the resort’s occupancy was down 3 percent, and revenue per available room was down 1.8 percent. Compared to New Jersey, however, Maryland was relatively unscathed by June’s decline, which was blamed largely on bad weather. While Hurricane Sandy reduced the amount of available lodging in many areas, revenue per available room – a statistic theoretically immune to housing loss – declined over 26 percent for Atlantic City. The only areas to make early-season gains were in the Carolinas, where Smith Travel’s Coastal Carolina subset gained 7.4 percent in per-room revenue over June 2012. This disparity had clearly leveled out by August, although Myrtle Beach, specifically, saw a strong gain of 5.6 percent occupancy and 11.5 percent in revenue per room over August 2012. Most impressive, however were August gains at the Delaware Beaches subset, with 6.3 percent occupancy and 13.5 percent in revenue per room gained over August of last year. Per-room rates also continued to rise in Ocean City and what Smith Travel considers to be its competitor markets. The average cost of a room in Ocean City increased 2.7 percent over August of 2012. Still, the resort’s average rate of $217.49 was considerably higher than the next highest in the competitor set, which was Virginia Beach at $169.84. If narrowed down to weekends – meaning Friday and Saturday - the average Ocean City room rate rose to $237.73.

City will spend $3.4 million savings on capital work, maintenance Canal dredging to begin without additional charge to waterfront properties ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer

(Oct. 4, 2013) The Ocean City Council on Tuesday approved a schedule of expenditures this week for the $3.4 million in savings it realized over the last fiscal year, set to include much-anticipated canal dredging as well as extra money for street repairs. “I think what we’ve learned, and why Ocean City has been so successful, is that we haven’t deferred our maintenance too long,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. “If you let it go too long, you never catch up.” Of the available funds, $1.17 million were realized via projects that the council had bonded out. Nearly $1 million was saved when bids for Boardwalk reconstruction were much lower than anticipated. Another $200,000 was saved in streamlining the design of the new Fire Station 4. The stipulation of the borrowing agreement limits the use of these funds to other capital projects, however. The city cannot legally borrow money to cover miscellaneous operat-

ing expenses. City Engineer Terry McGean thus recommended that these funds be used to restore some elements of ongoing projects that had been cut earlier. He suggested adding five police cameras and call boxes, as well as additional fiber optic cable, to the Boardwalk. Railing and bench replacements on the lower areas of the Boardwalk were also allotted for. The savings would further fund decorative lighting on the next phases of the St. Louis Avenue reconstruction project, something the city had cut and tentatively re-funded on the first phase of the project after the Ocean City Development Corporation offered financial assistance. Additional side streets could also be re-paved. “This is primarily for places where we have utility connections,” McGean said. “Instead of getting a patch, you would get a re-paved street.” Most importantly, McGean recommended an additional $500,000 be reserved for the renovation of the Ocean City Fire Department’s 15th Street headquarters. The $1.5 million currently allotted for the project might not be enough, he said. “Our concentration right now, particularly on the St. Louis Avenue side and the fire side, is to make sure we have enough money to finish what we

started,” he said. Tentative plans for the headquarters renovation will include a new roof and façade repairs for the whole building, as well as a small addition on the west side of the facility and a larger addition on its south side. The city will likely hire an architect to do final design over the winter, and construction will take place in the 2014-2015 offseason “We’ll be bringing that program to you in the next couple weeks,” McGean said. Besides the savings on bonded projects, the city has over $2.2 million in its general fund balance above its selfenforced reserve limit. The town prefers to keep 15 percent of its annual expenses in cash reserves through the fiscal year, to cover any gaps between the city’s incomes and expenses. This is especially important given the upcoming hurricane season, which may incur unanticipated costs before the city can recoup its revenues. As such, McGean recommended the city not spend any of its excess until the weather season passes. Following that, however, McGean suggested that the town earmark $383,410 for street repairs, which would bring the general paving allotment up to the desired $2 million annual level. A 2007 study indicated that

the city had over $40 million of street work to do in the next 20 years. Another $500,000 will go toward canal dredging, an often-discussed initiative to remove silt from the city’s bayside waterways that has never gotten off the ground. The city had originally planned to charge waterfront property owners to raise money for the work, but decided against doing so since the canals are public access waterways. Further, those owners already pay a premium in property tax because of their waterfront location. “We have three canals – 48th Street, 52nd Street, and Hitchens to Trimper Avenues – that could be done now,” McGean said. “On those three canals total, there is only one bulkhead that still needs work, so we’re in pretty good shape.” The other major item approved was the replacement of an ambulance in the city’s aging fleet, many of which will soon end their depreciation cycle and have their value plummet. “Four of our ambulances are about to exceed the 11-year mark,” OCFD Chief Chris Larmore said. “We’re running into more and more problems getting parts for these ambulances.” “In 2012, we had 121 days with an ambulance out of service,” Larmore said. “For 2013, that increased 15 per-

Atlantic General Hospital to offer free flu shots this month Clinics available for those 13 years of age and older at various area locations (Oct. 4, 2013) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the best way to prevent the flu is getting a flu vaccine each year. Atlantic General Hospital/Health System is again providing flu shot clinics free to the community. Individuals must be at least 13 years old to receive the vaccine at one of the free clinics. This year the hospital and health system has scheduled the clinics as follows: Berlin, Hospital Outpatient Services Lobby: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2-6 p.m.; Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2-6 p.m. Snow Hill, Taylor Bank: Tuesday, Oct. 15, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Ocean City, Holy Savior Catholic Church, 1705 Philadelphia Avenue: Wednesday, Oct. 9, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Ocean Pines, Ocean Pines Health Fair, Ocean Pines Community Center: Saturday, Oct. 5, 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. Ocean View, Del., Office of Dr. Barbara Socha, 96 Atlantic Avenue: Saturday, Oct.12, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. (must be at least 18 years old to receive the vaccine at this clinic) Additional clinics will be scheduled as vaccine supplies are received. Influenza and complications resulting from the virus kill an estimated 20,000 people each year, according to the CDC. Although rates of influenza vaccinations have increased in recent years, health surveys show that less than half of the high-risk population receives a yearly vaccine. Influenza, or flu, is a highly conta-

gious virus spread by inhaling droplets from an infected individual’s cough or sneeze. Most symptoms emerge within 24 to 48 hours and are characterized by fever, chills, sore throat, cough and headache. Just one infected person can unknowingly pass on the flu to family members and loved ones because the virus can be transmitted 24 hours before symptoms appear. Those at an increased risk for influenza related complications include persons 65 years and older; nursing home residents and those in other chronic care facilities; adults and children with chronic disorders of the pulmonary or cardiovascular systems, including children with asthma; people with metabolic diseases such as diabetes; and those with blood diseases like sickle cell anemia, or impaired immunity. Children and teenagers on longterm aspirin therapy and anyone working or living with someone in a high-risk category should get a flu shot every year. The vaccine is usually given before the flu season. Individuals can receive the vaccine from their health care providers or at one of the free immunization clinics offered provided by Atlantic General Hospital and the Atlantic General Health System. Since flu viruses mutate often, vaccines should be repeated each year. The vaccine is made from eggs. If you are allergic to eggs, consult with your health care provider. Hospital officials urge you to schedule an appointment with your primary care provider to receive your flu shot. For more information on the Atlantic General Hospital Free Flu Shot Clinics, contact Atlantic General Hospital at 410-641-9FLU (9358).

Prep field hockey squad shuts out Herons and Royals

Decatur golfers to battle Kent Island for Bayside crown

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

(Oct. 4, 2013) The Worcester Prep field hockey team earned a 10-0 shutout over the Gunston Day Herons last Friday in Berlin, and a few days later, the Lady Mallards held the Delmarva Christian Royals scoreless and netted eight goals. The Herons took a trip to Berlin to play the Mallards on Sept. 27. Prep senior captain Sarah Arrington led the charge in the first half, scoring five goals. Senior Alison Greer assisted two of her goals. Senior captain Meg Lingo and senior Hannah Esham each had an assist. Esham and junior Caroline Lindsay both netted shots and Worcester went into halftime with a 7-0 advantage. Lingo tallied two goals in the second half and Greer had one. Senior goalie Maddie Pilchard stopped three Gunston Day shots. “Midfielders Jordie Loomis, Natalie Twilley and Isabel Carulli played awesome and constantly fed the forward line as well as giving support to the backs. Maddy Stearns, Libby Truitt and Carolyn Dorey held Gunston scoreless,” said Prep Coach Jenny Frostrom. “We had great passes and carries down the field. Our offense worked well together inside the circle as well.” Worcester traveled to Georgetown, Del. to face the Delmarva Christian Royals Monday and came home with an 8-0 victory. Lingo scored twice in the first half and sophomore Hanna Nechay capitalized on her opportunity to put the Mallards on top 3-0 at halftime. Loomis logged two second-half goals and Lingo, Arrington and freshman Eva Parks netted one apiece. Freshman goalie Margaret McGuiness made two saves. “We played mostly JV (players) the entire game. We were able to have only a few varsity in to fill spots,” Frostrom said. This allows the younger players to gain varsity game experience. “I’ve got to give big props to Delmarva Christian’s defense and goalie. We had over 32 shots on goal and 19 corners. They really fought hard…” The Mallards head to Easton today, Friday, to battle their Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres. When the teams went head-to-head on Sept. 20 in Berlin, Worcester won 3-1.

(Oct. 4, 2013) The Stephen Decatur golf team won its final two matches of the regular season as the Seahawks now gear up for Monday’s Bayside Conference championship against the Kent Island Buccaneers. Last Thursday at Great Hope Golf Course in Westover, Decatur Coach Krall recorded its eighth victory of the year. The Seahawks carded a 155 to take top honors in the nine-school match. Washington finished second with a 171. Leading the squad was senior Andrew Urban. His 37 earned him medalist accolades. Freshman Matt Kristick shot a 38 and juniors Delaney Iacona and Danny Parker carded 39 and 41 respectively. “The team started having fun again. They’ve placed so much pressure on themselves to score phenomenal low rounds that it became a mental block,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “I believe they were afraid of failure and it had a negative effect on their game. Coach [Don] Furbay and I held a team meeting, and in short, we reminded them to relax and have fun. All they need to do is to trust their swing and let it flow. Good thoughts result in good shots.” On Tuesday at Nutters Crossing in Salisbury, Decatur placed first with a 151. Krall said Kristick “really turned it on,” shooting a 34 to earn medalist honors. “The highlight of his season thus far has to be the tee shot he hit on hole No. 2, a 328-yard par 4,” Krall said. “He drove the green and left himself a three footer for eagle and made the putt which helped him card the 1 under par 34. The whole team was very proud of him and realized that he was greatly responsible for our narrow victory over rival Washington.” Washington scored a 155, good for second place in the eight-school match. Also contributing to the Decatur victory was Parker (37), Urban (40) and junior Brooks Holloway (40). The Seahawks won nine matches this season and placed second to Washington in one. They will represent to Bayside South and meet Kent Island, the top North team, Monday at Queenstown Harbor Links. “Every player needs to bring their ‘A’ game. I’m predicting a close match which may come down to a stroke or two,” Krall said.

Lady Seahawks score 21 goals in two games, only give up two LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Oct. 4, 2013) The Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team scored 21 goals in two games and gave up just two as the Lady Seahawks earned a 10-2 victory over the Wi-Hi Indians, and a few days later, shut out the North Caroline Bulldogs 11-0. Last Friday the Indians came to Seahawk Stadium in Berlin to battle Decatur. About three minutes into the game, senior captain Liz Rougcher scored off a pass from junior Jillian Petito. Less than a minute later, senior captain Rebecca Lederman capitalized on a penalty shot. Junior Rachel Bourne and Petito tallied goals to put Decatur on top 4-0. WiHi scored with just under five minutes remaining in the first half. The home team tacked on six goals in the second half and limited the Indians to one. Petito led the Seahawks with two goals and four assists. Freshman Bridgette Ardis logged two goals and two assists. Bourne and Lederman finished the game with two goals apiece and Rougcher and sophomore Erin Smith each scored once.

Decatur sophomore goalie Lexi Gausepohl stopped three Wi-Hi shots. “It was a great effort by the girls. It was nice we had five different girls score, so it was a true team effort,” said Decatur Coach Misty Bunting. “We wanted to work the ball around the field and set the goals up and not just run-and-gun and Jillian did a good job with that.” On Tuesday, during the Seahawks’ Senior Night, where the three 12th graders-Lederman, Rougcher and Rebecca Haskell–were honored during halftime, Decatur won 11-0 over North Caroline. Lederman led the charge with five goals. Petito and sophomore Lexi McDonough netted two goals each and Rougcher and freshman Lexi VanKirk scored one apiece. Gausepohl recorded two saves in the first half. Freshman Rachel Florek stopped six Bulldogs’ shots in the second half. “We did well with moving the ball around the field, we made sure we maintained our width and we communicated well,” Bunting said. “We did a good job playing the way we wanted to play.” Decatur will travel to Salisbury on Monday to play Wi-Hi again.

Decatur football team will host Easton for homecoming game LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Oct. 4, 2013) Last Friday, the Stephen Decatur football team did not play as well as it had the three weeks prior and the Kent Island Buccaneers took advantage, winning the game in Stevensville 42-8. “We just didn’t even Coach Knox show up (to play). It

wasn’t the same team this past week,” said Decatur Coach Bob Knox. “We didn’t play with the intensity or all-out effort like we did the first three games.” By halftime, Kent Island had built a 42-0 lead. Decatur held its opponent scoreless in the second half. With just over six minutes remaining in the contest, senior P.J. Copes scored from about five yards out. Junior quarterback Justin Meekins was successful on the two-point conversion. Copes rushed 15 times for 45 yards

and a touchdown. Meekins ran the ball four times, accumulating 56 yards. He was 3-for-9 throwing for 46 yards. On defense, senior Wyatt Brady led Decatur with six tackles. Knox said Monday evening that the Seahawks would work to correct the mistakes made last Friday during practices this week before tonight’s (Friday’s) game against the Easton Warriors. The Seahawks watched game film of Easton Monday to help them prepare for the Oct. 4 battle.

“We’ll see an athletic, fast team Friday,” Knox said. He said the Seahawks’ recipe for success is “to be disciplined, not make turnovers, play every play like it’s our last and be physical.” “If we’re going to win, that’s what we’ve got to do,” he said. Tonight is Decatur’s homecoming game. Fireworks will be shot off during halftime and after the game, Knox said. The homecoming king and queen will be recognized during the halftime break. Game time is 6 p.m.

Lady Mallards and STPP Sabres battle it out today in Berlin

Despite being little rusty, Prep golfers win match Tuesday

LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor

(Oct. 4, 2013) The Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team shut out the Gunston Day Herons 9-0 last Friday on its home field in Berlin. “I’m excited for the win and just watching them get better every day. The skill level is much higher than it’s been in years, and they’re young,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett. “This was one of our best passing and ball placement games ever. We moved the ball from person to person rather than just running up and kicking it.” Senior captain Lilly DiNardo got the ball rolling for Worcester, scoring on a breakaway. Sophomore Julia D’Antonio boosted the Lady Mallards’ lead to 2-0 and junior Sophie Brennan netted two goals before halftime to put Worcester on top 4-0. Sophomore Laura Issel scored twice in the second half and junior Amanda Gabriel and freshman Madison Bescak tallied one goal apiece. Sophomore goalie Grace Tunis played in the net for Worcester in the first half and wasn’t challenged. She took the field at the forward position in the second half and scored the Prep team’s final goal. Junior Mikalah Potvin played in goal the second half and didn’t see any action. “I think our ball placement, our working together and our communication was good, and our low [defense] was stifling,” Hartnett said. “It’s all in the learning curve. We just worked on a lot of that stuff in practice.” The Mallards will battle their Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rival, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Berlin. When the two teams met Sept. 20 in Easton, Worcester won 1-0. Bescak scored about 30 seconds into the game. “It wasn’t enough to beat them there. Now we’ve got to beat them here,” Hartnett said. “They’re very dialed in on that game. If we can get the few we have hurt back in, I think we’re in alignment to beat them. I feel confident.”

(Oct. 4, 2013) The Worcester Prep golf team won the three-school match Tuesday at Ocean City Golf & Yacht Club. The Mallards scored a 170 to take top honors. The Salisbury Christian Jaguars carded a 189 and the Salisbury School Dragons finished with a 257. All four Worcester golfers shot below their averages. Senior captain Billy Brittingham led the Mallards with a 41. Sophomore Jason Cooke tallied a 42, junior Rylie Doyle a 43 and sophomore John Meakin carded a 44. “I think we could have played better. We were definitely a little rusty because we haven’t played a match in a while,” said Prep Coach Kevin Gates. The Mallards have not competed in a match since Sept. 17. “Even though they shot below their averages, I think they can play better and I think they would say they could have played better.” Worcester’s next match is Thursday, Oct. 10, against Salisbury School and Salisbury Christian at Nutters Crossing in Salisbury.

(Oct. 4, 2013) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team stepped on the court Monday ready to compete and the Lady Seahawks were successful, winning in three games over the Pocomoke Warriors. The visiting Seahawks earned a 25-7 victory in the first game and outscored the Warriors 25-5 in the second. Decatur took the third game 25-13. Senior captains Katie VanBruggen had six aces and five digs and Taylor Black chipped in with four kills. Senior Kiley Cooke and junior Hannah Adkins contributed with six and five kills, respectively. Junior setters Haley Trice logged nine assists and Kayla Heinz recorded five aces and six assists. Haley McDonough, a junior, served five aces. “The girls played really well. We communicated, we moved our feet, and our passing was great. Because of all that, we flowed well together and were able to have some nice plays,” said Decatur Coach Sarah Zimmer. “In Game 3, we started to decline a little, but we were able to pick it up in the end. Through our stats, you can see how spread out everything was.” Decatur will host the Wi-Hi Indians on Monday at 5:30 p.m.

Seahawks struggle to play possession game, still win 4-0 LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor

(Oct. 4, 2013) It may not have been the Seahawks’ best performance, but the Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team still managed to pull out a 4-0 victory over the Washington Jaguars last Friday in Berlin. “I thought we started off OK and then as the half went on, as the game went on, we definitely started playing down to their level. We just weren’t playing our possession game,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “We got out of our game a little bit because everybody wanted to push forward. And we tried new things and we have some people injured, too. We were putting people in positions that aren’t normal in those positions so that kind of stresses the system a little bit.” Senior Zak Hoshino scored two and a half minutes into the game. David Bernal-Clark gave Decatur a two-goal cushion three minutes before halftime. Hoshino netted his second goal of the match at the 26-minute mark. Senior Nick White knocked in the Seahawks’ final goal with about 10 minutes left on the clock. Decatur goalie Logan Thumma, a senior, stopped seven Jaguars shots. On Tuesday, the Snow Hill Eagles came to Berlin for a competition against Decatur. The visiting Eagles tallied a goal two minutes into the game. White evened the score 13 minutes later. The teams went into the halftime break tied 1-1. “We got out of our game in the first half. Snow Hill played very well and I think we underestimated them,” Greenwood said. “We played very flat, like we were going to have a walk in the park.” See BOYS on Page 34A

Prep team earns 7-0 wins over Herons and Royals Possessional play, taking shooting chances, stingy defense keys to success LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor

(Oct. 4, 2013) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team shut out its last two opponents–the Gunston Day Herons and Delmarva Christian Royals–7-0. Last Friday, the Herons came to Berlin to take on the Mallards. Senior captain J.B. Loomis scored twice to give Worcester a 2-0 lead. Chris Klug, a senior captain, found the back of the net and sophomore Elio Telo netted a shot to boost the Mallards’ advantage to 40. Loomis’ hat trick put the Prep team on top 5-0 at halftime.

Freshman Aria ZiaShakeri and sophomore Charlie Trupo each scored a goal in the second half. Sophomore Charlie Pritchard logged six Coach saves in the goal for Worcester. Underkoffler “The goal was to get a lot of shots off because the last two games we played we had nice possession between the 18s but when we got close to the goal we just didn’t look to shoot, we looked for the extra pass and it just wasn’t clicking,” said Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler. “This was our first shutout of the season so that was also a mini goal we wanted to accomplish… The big thing is to continually work on quick possessional play and take our shooting chances. The second part is to

play stingy defensively.” On Monday, senior Isiah Nsah headed the ball into the goal in the opening minutes of the game against Delmarva Christian from an Owen Nally cross. At halftime, the Mallards led 4-0. Nsah tallied two goals and Telo, senior captain Ryan Nally, Loomis, O. Nally, a freshman, and senior Jack Pedigo each had one. Pritchard recorded four saves in the shutout. “Our crossing and finishing game improved dramatically and I was particularly pleased with the defensive effort limiting the opponent to four shots on goal,” Underkoffler said. The Mallards head to Salisbury to play the Salisbury School Dragons today, Friday. The next day, the Prep team travels to Delaware to compete against the Seaford Blue Jays.

Seahawks’ lead to 4-1. Hoshino and junior Evan Heim finished the scoring for Decatur. Thumma recorded six saves. “We were a little more fired up in the second half and we played better soccer,” Greenwood said after the 6-1 win. “[Snow Hill’s] goalie is what kept them in it. We just wore them down.” Decatur and Parkside will compete on Tuesday in Salisbury.

(Oct. 4, 2013) The Stephen Decatur cross country teams both finished in third place during last Wednesday’s eight-school meet in Cambridge. “It was a fast race all the way around, for both the boys and the girls. It was a fast course and good conditions,” said Decatur Coach Coach Stigler Jody Stigler. “It was a good race for us for times. A lot of kids got PRs (personal records).” Kent Island won the boys’ competition with 20 points. Cambridge-South Dorchester took second with 59 points and Decatur scored 96 points for third place. “The boys ran better than they did at Baysides last year (on the Cambridge course) and we’re stronger this year,” Stigler said. “We’ve just got to get a little more consistent (and run) closer together as we move forward.” Senior Kevin Herbert was the first Decatur runner to complete the race (17:44.76). He finished ninth overall out

of about 100 runners. “Kevin Herbert ran really well. He ran under 18 minutes for the first time,” Stigler said. Junior Jake Gaddis (18:08.99, 17th), senior John Niedfeldt (18:19.13, 19th), sophomore Parker Harrington (18:54.22, 24th) and senior Jake Eisenman (18:56.28, 25th) also scored points for Decatur. Several of Decatur’s top runners are hampered by injury, but the Lady Seahawks tallied 84 points to finish in third place. Kent Island won the girls’ competition with 25 points. Cambridge was second with 67 points. “We did OK. I’m pleased with the girls who ran,” Stigler said. “A lot of girls had really good times.” Senior Alex Tushup led Decatur, crossing the finish line first for the team. She was 10th overall (21:54.91) out of 76 runners. Also contributing to Decatur’s thirdplace finish was sophomore Alison Alvarado (22:02.76, 13th), senior Katie Collins (22:04.87, 14th), junior Meya Chilengi (23:22.20, 24th) and senior Alex McKahan (24:18.45, 26th). The next cross country meet is Wednesday on Decatur’s course in Berlin at 4 p.m.

Shutdown harms area’s economy No one knows, as this is being written, whether the federal government shutdown will have ended and that there are, amazingly, enough reasonable people in the nation’s capital to end this nonsense. And it is nonsense. No matter how people feel about the Affordable Care Act, the Republican House majority it is not going kill it by tying its dismantling to the continued funding of the federal government. The numbers this one faction of the GOP needs to prevail simply do not exist. Already, enough Republican representatives have agreed to fund government without the Obamacare provision that such a measure would pass, were Speaker John Boehner to muster the political courage to call for a vote. It is interesting to note that of the 20 or so Republican House members who have said they would support an unrestricted resolution, five of them are from Pennsylvania, which, like Maryland, benefits directly and indirectly from the federal payroll. That is a good thing for the resort area, since many of its visitors hail from the Keystone State. If they suffer economically, this area suffers economically. Meanwhile, this district’s Rep. Andy Harris (R-1st) is not on the list of those supporting a clean resolution. As politically popular in this district as it might be to oppose the ACA, fighting it this way defies reason. The negative financial impact of a government shutdown is the last thing this area’s fragile economy needs and Harris should see that, rather than follow those who believe it is strategically more beneficial to make a statement than it is to actually govern. Members of this core group can blame Sen. Harry Reid and the Democrats all they want, but the reality is that shutting down the government because you don’t like one aspect of it makes about as much sense as burning down the house because you hate the furniture.

Legal woes irrelevant

Editor, Your coverage of the fatal accident on Route 50 in West Ocean City on Sept. 20 was well-written and informative; in fact, so informative that I have to question why your reporter felt it necessary to include Jerold Sharoff’s legal troubles, especially now that Mr. Sharoff is no longer able to address both the charges and the information included in your reportage. The Sharoff family is grieving; trying to make sense of the loss of their loved one so suddenly, tragically and more than anything else, senselessly. I didn’t know Mr. Sharoff, and I don’t know his family, so I can only imagine how they must feel. By bringing into your article information that is now moot, you took the focus off the real criminal element — the driver of the fullsize, red Ford F-150 pickup who struck Mr. Sharoff, fled the scene of the accident not knowing the extent of Mr. Sharoff’s injuries, and, as of this letter, has failed to come forward to acknowledge what he/she has done. My condolences to the Sharoff family. Gail Schuler Ocean City

Council should listen to constituents

This letter is directed to the mayor and City Council of Ocean City

Ladies and Gentlemen, the recent decision of the Council President to expel a citizen of our community from a Council Meeting must be addressed. As one who has frequently attended Council Meetings over the past thirty years, I am aghast at such action, with hardly a whimper from the Mayor or most of the Council Members. I understand the rationale for the attendance of a uniformed police officer at these sessions. Sadly, the behavior of some citizens over the years at public meetings in our country have made this a necessary precaution. But never before in my memory in Ocean City, Maryland, has a citizen been removed by anyone — police, Mayor, Council President or anyone else. This indignity must not become the norm in our Town and should be condemned by everyone who has a voice. While I know of the woman in question, we are not personally acquainted. However, from first hand observation, I have seen her sincere interest in public policy and government operation. I have witnessed her interchanges with

the Mayor and Council over the past few years— this is not a new or sudden or threatening action on her part. She gives as well as receives on these occasions from the Mayor, President and Council Members, regularly. This is not a new occurrence. From my observation, the meetings of the Mayor and City Council need more than a police officer in attendance. They need a referee to separate the combatants who reside on the dais. Recent exchanges between the Mayor, President and Council Members has bordered on a barroom brawl, with frequent exchanges of charges and allegations that, in an earlier time, might lead to duel challenge. Is it any wonder that these ladies and gentlemen appear to lose it more frequently these days? Perhaps a time-out is in order! Like it or not, these officials were elected to represent all of us, whether we voted for them individually or not. Part of their obligation is to listen to the people, whether they agree with them or not. If this proves too difficult they have another option. Incidentally, whatever happened to Robert’s Rules of Order, and the appointment of a sergeant at arms to control decorum? Joe Moran Ocean City Continued on Page 37

In-depth coverage appreciated

By Stewart Dobson

In the face of our recent difficulties, which include a federal government shutdown, gun control buying frenzies by people who don’t know a gun barrel from a rain barrel and, locally, being inundated last week by nitrous-fueled, four-wheeled cicadas, I am puzzled by greater mysteries: why, for instance, do department stores refer to the men’s underwear section as “men’s furnishings?” The government shutdown, after all, is understandable. These people are wrestling over the fate of the country, but can’t agree on whose country it is. As for the gun-buying binge by many weapons newbies: if you never owned an assault weapon or handgun and never missed owning one, but realized that you might not be able to buy one easily in the future, you start missing what you never had and then take care of it. Makes perfect sense to me. And about those little water-cooled cars that blocked huge portions of Coastal Highway with their virtual trains of vehicles? Can you say, “The Dorks of Hazard?” But before I get into the underwear vs. furnishings question, I would like to know why the manufacturers of these particular items think that producing briefs without labels is such a major step forward. Given the cheap stitching on undergarments these days, having no label just adds more time to the morning ritual as you are now forced to ponder: “Are these inside out or what?” Worse, if you don’t scrutinize your shorts before slipping into them, you run the risk of making serious consequences even worse should you be involved in an accident. “Dispatch? We have an injured man here who … Heeeyyyyyy, his underwear is on inside-out. Hahahahahahaha.” Now, for the central question, this men’s furnishings business has baffled me for years. For whatever reason, major department stores are apparently prohibited from using the word “underwear.” You ask a store clerk where the underwear is and he or she will tell you, “In men’s furnishings.” Your first thought is, “Look, I understand my pants may be a little baggy, but I doubt there’s enough room for an ottoman in there.” It could be that someone at the top of the underwear hierarchy realized long ago that it doesn’t sound good when you don’t have on underwear and say, “I’m going commando.” Apparently, it seems so much better to say, “I’m unfurnished.”

Editor, Your Sept. 20 issue contains three articles that are examples of exceptional journalism. The Page One article about a police officer kicking Ellie Diegelmann out of the Ocean City Council chambers because she clapped in support of another speaker’s comments reminded me of how the communist handled dissidents — have the police throw the opposition in jail to prevent their views from being publicly discussed. It is clear to me that Ellie Diegelmann comes to many Council meetings better prepared than some Council members and consistently points out the need to better control Ocean City employees’

termine its own rules and order of business…” Instead of permitting the removal by a police officer who may have another agenda in trying to silence Ellie Diegelmann, I believe no one should be removed from any Council session without a motion and a vote by the full Council. The second article discussed the covert actions of Council Member Douglas Cymek pertaining to certain actions taken by the chief of the fire department.

READERS’ FORUM In my view, many times certain council members take actions during the secret sessions that they have prior to their public meetings to prevent the public from knowing what their actual agenda is trying to accomplish. I remember that some of the prior Council majority members had unpublicized meetings with certain Ocean City employees without following the chain of command. The then minority, which included Council Member Cymek, who are now in the majority of the current Council, howled that such actions undermined the authority of the city manager. Council Member Cymek’s actions, in being covertly involved with the unrest that certain fire department employees were attempting to create in order to discredit the Fire Chief, is but another example of how certain council members Continued from Page 37

use their positions to advance an agenda that is not readily discussed in the public arena. The third article provided an in-depth discussion of how Ocean City’s uses bond financing. Information was provided to the Council that refinancing of outstanding bond issues can lower the cost that the taxpayers have to pay in interest for the bond. Unfortunately, the bureaucrats in the Ocean City finance office cited ordinance requirements that prevented them from refinancing certain bond issuance. What the bureaucrats failed to mention is that they assisted in drafting the ordinance that prevented the refinancing. In my view, all future bond issuance should contain a provision for permit refinancing at any time. This should significantly lower the cost of bond issuance if interest rates stay low. In discussing

bond issuance, Mayor Rick Meehan correctly pointed out that the unfunded liabilities do not seem to be a significant current problem because Ocean City will always continue to exist. However, many politicians know that, by the time unfunded liabilities such as pension benefits become due, they will be out of office and will not have to worry about how to pay for the pensions. Unfortunately, many union representatives use this delay in making the actual payments to their advantage in negotiating pension and other benefits for their members. Mayor Meehan overlooks the fact that many cities, such as Detroit, Stockton and San Bernardino, California and other cities all have filed for bankruptcy because their liabilities exceeded their assets. Many of these bankruptcies were

Your publication should be given our highest accolades for these three articles, none of which was given the slightest mention in the other Ocean City local publication.

Wounded Soldiers event a success Editor, I want to thank everyone involved in making our Sept. 20 fundraiser for Wounded Soldiers such a success. There are so many to thank — all the women of Star Charities who worked so hard to put this together, Ocean Pines Board of Directors President Tom Terry and General Manager Bob Thompson for graciously allowing us to use the Community Center. [And] Monty Jones, owner of Lazy River Saloon, who generously donated the delicious finger lickin good pork barbecue chicken dinner and all the fixins. The Back Boy Strummers who provided a great time with their foot stomping music and the Still Rockin Band that kept things lively — both bands generously donated their fees to the Wounded Soldiers. Sharon and Charles Sorrentino for their “right on the money” skit of the Bunkers, emcees Larry Walton and Gilly Foultz, Sonya Bounds, Directory of Recreation & Parks, who did such a good job setting up all the tables and chairs, all the men and women who helped with the cleanup and disassembling the table and chairs — my hat is off to all of you. Without your time and talents we would not have been able to make this such a success. Of course, a big “thank you” to all who attended and joined with us to raise funds for our wounded veterans who gave their all for our country. May God bless you all.

Bark for Life raises funds for American Cancer Society CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer

(Oct. 4, 2013) Relay for Life raises millions of dollars each year to fund cancer research and provide information and services to cancer patients and their caregivers. A pet-friendly offshoot of Relay, Bark For Life, is back for its fourth year this Saturday, Oct. 5, at Fort Whaley Campground in Whaleyville, raising money to support Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society. Bark for Life celebrates the lives of twoand four-legged loved ones diagnosed with cancer and remembers those who lost their fight against the disease. It is an afternoon of games, costumes and prizes to raise money for the American Cancer Society. “Bark for Life is a great time,” said fouryear participant Patti Adams, owner of Ruff Cuts pet service in Ocean Pines. “It’s a blast, and you get to laugh a lot with your dogs.” The event features Relay classics with a canine twist. For $10, participants can purchase “Barkanaries,” sugar pumpkins with paw prints that hold the name of a loved one (two- or four-legged) that has been affected by cancer. Other popular events are back this year, including the bone drop, diamond dig and jail break. The bone drop is a 50/50 raffle in which participants purchase bones for $10 each. Up to 100 bones will fall from the sky, and the one landing closest to a target earns its buyer half of the money raised. For $20, participants can also register for the diamond dig, where human-dog pairs dig for a buried paperweight. The team to find the weight wins a prize from Pandora. Volunteers in western sheriff costumes will also take participants to “jail,” where they wait until someone donates the $5 “bail.” “It’s a good opportunity to get out and spend the day with your family and to do something with your dog,” Bark For Life Chairwoman Allison Stokely said. “It’s a great event.” There will be corncob-shelling contests, a candy corn relay, spider crawl and seed spitting contest. For children, there will be a moon bounce, pony rides, face painting and carnival-style games. A disc jockey will play music throughout the day, and more than a dozen vendors will offer wares from jewelry to pet treats. At 2 p.m., the Wicomico Sheriffs See ANNUAL on Page 3B

Worcester’s robotics team ‘Wrecks’ competition Fledgling county high school group advances to finals in first contest CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer

(Oct. 4, 2013) Worcester County’s fledgling high school robotics team made it to the finals in the Battle O’ Baltimore Sept. 21, the group’s first competition. Team Titanium-Wrecks came out ahead in the contest pitting teams of three robots against each other in the six-team, mid-Atlantic regional competition. The Worcester group lost in the final round, but brought home a finalist trophy for its showing. “Our kids did very well and we are jacked up for our official rookie season,” Titanium-Wrecks Lead Mentor Paul Suplee said. He explained that the team is so new, it fought as a “pre-rookie” group. Team Titanium-Wrecks formed just three months ago, giving county students from public, private or home schools a chance to learn about science and engineer-

ing. But the group does more, Suplee said. “These types of teams and clubs are really helpful for kids… for leadership and cooperation,” he said. All eight of the Titanium-Wrecks members worked together to build the 100pound robot, capable of moving and shooting objects like Frisbees, for last weekend’s competition. The six students who traveled to Baltimore shared roles, with one driving the machine, one shooting and another loading the feeder system, Suplee said. “One of the big things in robotics is cooperation,” he said. After the showing at the Battle O’ Baltimore, the team aims to do at least two or three competitions each year. In April, members will travel to College Park for a 44-team global robotics contest, drawing competition from as far as England and the United Arab Emirates, Suplee said. The contests can be costly, and Team Titanium-Wrecks relies on grants and fundraising for projects. The group sold around 300 T-shirts during last month’s NASA Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) launch, and will host a fundraiser-charity event at

Local robotics team to host fundraising event Sat., Oct. 12 proceeds go to the club, and half, to the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation’s House by the Sea, which provides a weeklong stay in Ocean City for critically ill children and their families. “A very big part of being on our team is community service, and the kids are very excited about that,” Suplee said. “It doubles the work for us raising money, but we don’t care. It’s important for the kids to learn about giving back.” Team Titanium-Wrecks meets biweekly, working on projects like homemade hovercrafts and Segways, but will bump that up to six days a week leading up to the spring competition. It works with local groups like Digital Youth Experience — a regional technology training and mentoring center — and other area robotics groups like Team Carbonauts in Virginia and Parkside High School’s Robospectrum team in Salisbury. It has five mentors with backgrounds from working for NASA to being a professional chef. To learn more about Team TitaniumWrecks, visit www.team-t-wrecks.org.

Office will give a K-9 demonstration. Each Bark For Life has a different theme, and this year’s is Halloween. Pets and their owners are encouraged to dress to the theme and will have the chance to compete in a costume contest with prizes. Last year, Bark For Life raised $2,800 toward cancer research, and with an RV convention at Fort Whaley next weekend, Stokely hopes for an even better turnout in 2013. All proceeds from Bark for Life go to Relay for Life, scheduled for May 9, 2014 at Fort Whaley’s sister campground at Frontier Town on Route 611 in West Ocean City. “Relay has a goal every year,” Stokely said. “The money that we make helps them reach their goal.” Registration for Bark For Life starts at 11 a.m. and the walk kicks off at noon. The cost to participate is $20 for a human-dog pair, $10 for a second dog (no more than two dogs per person), or $5 per solo person. Owners should provide a paper copy of their dogs’ rabies vaccinations. For more information, search for “American Cancer Society Bark for Life of Northern Worcester County” on Facebook, visit www.relayforlife.org/barknorthworcestermd, or contact Stokely at 410-430-9156 or tstokesgrl@comcast.net.

Beer Fest this Saturday at 45th Street Taphouse Second annual event will include about 60 regional brews for guests to sample CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer

(Oct. 4, 2013) After a turnout of about 300 people at the inaugural event last year, the 45th Street Taphouse is bringing Beer Fest back this Saturday, Oct. 5. “It went really well,” Taphouse General Manager Jeff Burton said. “We’re adding probably another 10 or 15 brews.” That bumps Beer Fest up to about 60 beers to sample tomorrow, between 1-7 p.m., at the event with live music. “It’s a great opportunity to educate customers,” said Bryan Brushmiller, owner of Burley Oak Brewery in Berlin. Burley Oak participated in the inaugural Beer Fest last year and will be back in 2013 with its Oktoberfest lager, Waffle Stomper Belgian IPA, Just the Tip and Rude Boy ales. Last year’s Beer Fest “was a great event,” he said. “I think people in Ocean City really love to have a festival in their own back yard.” Other local and regional breweries will be at Beer Fest, including Dogfish Head, Evolution, Yards and Fordham. New this year, Beer Fest patrons will get a larger sample glass to hold unlimited tastes of the brews, Burton said. The idea behind Beer Fest is twofold, he said: To introduce newcomers to craft beer and to showcase the 45th Street restaurants.

“All of my restaurants are about craft beer, and I’m doing it more and more,” Burton said. He’s even planning to open a brewery next spring. “I’m trying to do it to show people what we can do,” he said. Live music by Lauren Glick and The Mood Swingers and other bands will play throughout Beer Fest. There will be T-shirts for sale and food available at a discount for ticketholders at the restaurants in the 45th Street Village. “We’ll have a little bit of everything,” Burton said. With about 40 tickets sold a week ahead of the event and warm weather predicted for Saturday, he said, “It’ll be a great event.” Part of the proceeds from the Beer Fest will go to a charity, still undecided as of last week. Last year, festival funds went to Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation, an organization providing critically ill children and their families with a weeklong stay in Ocean City. The foundation is one of the charities being considered this year, Burton said. Tickets to Beer Fest cost $25 in advance at any of the businesses in the 45th Street village, or $30 at the door. Attendees must be 21 and show a valid ID. Each ticket includes a six-ounce commemorative glass with unlimited refills during Beer Fest, 1-7 p.m. tomorrow, Oct. 5., in the 45th Street village parking lot. Leashed pets are welcome at the event. For more information, call the 45th Street Taphouse at 443664-2201.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A bid for you to step in and take over an incomplete project could prove to be an excellent learning experience that you can take with you when a new opportunity opens up. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for socializing, both with family and with friends. Your aspects also favor developing new relationships, any or all of which might become especially meaningful. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your success in handling a recent difficult situation prompts a request to handle another workplace problem. But this is one you should accept only if you get all of the relevant facts. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) New information about a past decision raises some unsettling questions from an old friend. Be prepared to explain your actions fully and, if necessary, to make adjustments. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is not a good time to share personal secrets, even with someone you’ve known for a long while. What you don’t reveal now won’t come back to haunt you later. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Pushing yourself to meet a project deadline is admirable. But be careful not to leave out important details in your rush to complete your work and send it off. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Watch that you don’t take on more than you can handle when offering to help someone with a personal problem. There might be hidden factors you weren’t told about. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) That major move you’ve been considering could come sooner than you expected. Make sure you’ll be ready with the facts you need when decision time arrives. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Languishing relationships can benefit from a break in routine. Get out of the rut and do something new and maybe more than a little unpredictable this weekend. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although you don’t think of yourself as a role model, your ability to make a tough decision at this time sets an example for others, who admire your courage. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You need to move any remaining obstacles out of your way before you can take on a new challenge. Seek advice from close, trusted friends and associates. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A career change appears increasingly likely to happen during the next several weeks. It’s a good idea to start now to prepare, so you can be ready to make the move when the time comes. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a strong sense of obligation to justice, which inspires others to follow your example and do the right thing.

Hundreds of Corvettes expected to roll into town this weekend Activities on tap include car shows, rallies and parade down Boardwalk CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Oct. 4, 2013) The Free State Corvette Club kicks off its 27th annual Corvette Weekend today, Friday, bringing a car show, rallies and a 700-car Boardwalk parade to Ocean City. “It started out as just a very simple, little get-together of Corvette enthusiast,” said Alan Brandhofer, Public Relations Director for Free State Corvette Club. Over the years, it’s become increasingly popular to the point that approximately 700 Corvettes and 1,200 people are expected to participate this year, he said. Corvette Weekend begins today at the Clarion Resort Hotel on 101st Street, where vendors will be selling an assortment of items and participants can purchase 50/50 raffle tickets and Corvette Weekend apparel. Late registrants can sign up for Corvette Weekend activities from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. A welcome party kicks of the weekend’s activities from 7-11 p.m. in the See ESTIMATED on Page 8B

Staging for the parade begins at 1 p.m. at the Inlet. Cars already parked in there for the Fun Shows will be first to stage for the parade. There will be vendors at the Inlet from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. At night, there will be a party and awards ceremony back at the Clarion Resort. The ceremony will start at 8 p.m. and there will be raffles, drawings and a cash bar at the Corvette Weekend wrap-up. Proceeds from Corvette Weekend sponsor the Spina Bifida Association of Maryland, which helps families of children with the disease by providing financial assistance, education and group activities, as well as other Maryland charities. Since it began 26 years ago, the event has raised over $600,000 for the groups. With more than 500 Corvettes and 900 people pre-registered for the weekend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to have a great turnout,â&#x20AC;? Brandhofer said. Anyone with a Corvette is welcome to register for the 27th annual Corvette Weekend. Participants do not need to be a National Council of Corvette Clubs member or belong to the Free State Corvette Club. All Corvette Weekend events require participants to have a wristband, purchased at registration for $40 per adult or $8 for each child under 12 years old.

Get involved and join senior bowling league or volunteer SENIOR SLANT IRISH KEMP Contributing Writer (Oct. 4, 2013) Life on our shore is never a bore. Unfortunately, I’ve been waking up at the ungodly hour of 6 a.m. Not good for an old broad, especially one that is not a morning person. I’m not really mean in the morning, just more than a little disoriented. In layman terms, “it takes a lot more time to get my act together.” This info will rock some folks’ boats but along with the early morn awakenings, I ‘ve become seriously addicted to “Little Debbie” donuts, so much so that I take one with milk every night in lieu of a pill. Would you believe that, organically speakin’, there’s nuthin’ better for a warped psyche than a bodaciously humongous bowl of warm soggy kale sprinkled with cinnamon spiced hummus. First thing in the morning, of course. I’m in the market for a hummus tree. New in town and wanna’ get around? Trust me, folks, joining the Ocean City 55-plus of age bowling league would be a wise move, even if you’re not athletically inclined. The season starts Thursday afternoon, Oct. 3 and ends in April. Bowler or not, your partner or friend is welcome to join you at the after-bowling events at local sponsor’s restaurants. What a great way to case the town’s restaurants and impress your visitors with your savoir-faire. Trust me, your expertise about where to eat, albeit the visitor’s or your treat, is a good thing. It’s also very clever to remember which door to enter. Joining the bowling league is definitely a door opener, especially when it comes to broadening your circle of friends and meeting new people. You’ll be surprised how many people you’ll meet from your hometown. It’s a whole new world when you volunteer, so much cooler than the times in the olden days, when you were obliged to volunteer. Hey, if you really wanna be a big roller, the alley’s de place to be.

Trust me, folks, unlike Vegas, what happens or is said at the alley never stays at the alley. You’ll get the word about every event around town or anything else going down. Rumors abound that the town council encouraged the building of the bowling alley back in 1972 to keep the incoming retirees from hanging around on the street corners. Corners were few and far between in those days, sans curbs to sit on. The Kemps met many a lifelong friend as league or club members of various organizations.

Years ago, our travels were limited to our own neighborhoods.

Ocean City goes pink in Oct. for breast cancer awareness CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Oct. 4, 2013) Ocean City is going pink for October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month, city hall, the convention center, local businesses and even the Ocean City airport will show their support, lighting up the night with pink lights and flying pink flags to support those affected by breast cancer and to raise awareness of the disease. Breast cancer charities also host fundraisers throughout the month in the Pink Ribbon Classis Series, a host of local events to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. “We just would like as many businesses to be supporting the pink cause as we can,” American Cancer Society volunteer Susan Childs said. “Going pink” also honors the more than 1,000 people who converge in Ocean City each October for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, slated for Oct. 19 on the Boardwalk, she said. The idea to “go pink” in Ocean City gained momentum last year, when supporters took the idea to the city. “We asked the mayor to proclaim Oc-

Any businesses interested in joining in Breast Cancer Awareness Month are still encouraged to “go pink,” she said.

Tuna tartare typically flavored by adding oils, spices or fruit FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Dish presentation just as important as taste of food DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer (Oct. 4, 2013) Tartare is defined as serving raw meat or fish that is ground up and seasoned. It is believed to have originated during the times of the Mongolian tribes known as Tartars. To avoid having to stop and cook their meals, the Tartars placed a piece of raw horsemeat under their saddles. During the ride, the meat would tenderize and be enjoyed in its raw state for dinner. Tuna tartare is typically flavored by adding oils, spices or fruit. The presentation is just as important as the taste and is why tuna tartare is often cut into tiny pieces. It is frequently served with crackers, chips, or toast, allowing the diner to spread the soft fish on the crunchy breaded item. Tuna tartare is similar to tuna sashimi, except that sashimi is more often cut into larger slices or chunks. The history of tuna tartare is quite fascinating. Let us roll back to 1984 to the Chaya Brasserie in Beverly Hills. Chaya Brasserie was a pioneer in

bringing innovative Franco-Japanese cuisine to Los Angeles. According to an article written by Lesley Balla, Chaya was and is still owned by the Tsunodas, a family that has been serving food in Japan for over 400 years. Shigefumi Tachibe earned the coveted spot of executive chef. The brasserieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu featured a prix-fixe menu, of which steak tartare was a key component. A party of six patronized the establishment soon after it opened. However, the idea of raw meat did not appeal to them and as a result requested another option. Tachibe was obviously put on the spot. His thought process was beef and tuna looked similar. In addition, tuna is fatty just like red meat. He diced up the tuna into tiny pieces, seasoned it, and served it to the guests. They absolutely loved it and insisted it should be added to the menu. Thus, tuna tartare was born. This particular dish is seldom made at home, so a few tips might boost oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence. It may sound complicated but it is actually quite simple. The number one rule is you must purchase sushi grade tuna. Remember, the dish is served raw, so the best

grade of tuna is a must. If the tuna is slightly frozen, it will be easier to cut. A very sharp knife is always welcome. Many ingredients can be incorporated into tuna tartare. Following are some of the more popular items: avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds, fresh ginger, jalapeno, wasabi powder, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, lemon juice, hot sauce, coconut milk, mangos, and pineapples. The tuna is the star of the dish so be careful not to over power it. Tuna tartare parlays beautifully with wine. You need to choose a wine that can cut through the fattiness of the tuna. A Sauvignon Blanc or Bordeaux-style white blends are both excellent choices. Tuna tartare is versatile. It can be served at an elegant affair as an appetizer or it can be placed sparingly on chips while hosting a casual gathering. Tuna tartare is relatively quick and very impressive. In other words, it can be a home cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend. INGREDIENTS 6 ounces sushi-grade tuna, cut into 1/4-inch dice 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped 1-tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds,

toasted 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1-teaspoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated 3/4-teaspoon lime zest 1 clove garlic, minced 1 avocado, cut into 1/4-inch dice 2 small Roma tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice 1/2-teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon jalapeĂąo peppers, minced (optional) 24 sesame seed Melba toast crackers cilantro sprigs for garnish 1. Mix tuna, green onions, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, lime zest, cilantro, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well. 2. When you are ready to serve, add the remaining ingredients except for the crackers and cilantro for garnish. 3. Place a teaspoon of tuna tartare on each cracker and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately. SECRET INGREDIENT: Mistakes

Feast of St. Martin’s

Wor-Wic military friendly

The Board of Directors of Historic St. Martin’s Church has scheduled the third annual Feast of St. Martin’s for Nov. 1. Traditionally, the Feast occurs at the end of harvesting when the grain has been gathered, the animals fattened, and the wine is ready for drinking. It’s a time to celebrate nature’s bounty prior to the onset of winter. There will be a tent on the grounds, with live music and food. The menu is based on foods grown locally and harvested from local waters.

Temple Bat Yam held its annual Simchat Torah celebration Sept. 27 at the Temple in Berlin. Simchat Torah is a Jewish holiday that celebrates and marks the end of the annual cycle of public Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle. On Simchat Torah at Temple Bat Yam the Torah scrolls are removed from the ark and members of the congregation take turns carrying the scrolls around the room while the worshippers leave their seats to dance and sing with the Torah scrolls in a joyous celebration. One scroll is completely unrolled around the room giving each person a chance to participate by holding the scrolls. Pictured from left is Bette Bohlman, Rabbi Susan Warshaw, and holding/unrolling the scroll is Temple President, Larry Pack.

OCBP 2013 alumni reunion honors ‘legends of Life Saving’ Bill Pacy, captain from 1943-1949, to address guests attending event (Oct. 4, 2013) Ocean City Maryland Beach Patrol alumni association will launch its 2013 Alumni Reunion honoring “legends of Life Saving” who served from the 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000. This event will take place at the Grand Hotel in Ocean City Oct. 4-6. Legends such as Capt. Bill Pacy, beach patrol captain 1943-1949 will speak on Ocean City’s then young

patrol during war time in America and the amazing zero drowning record of today’s precision beach patrol under the command of Butch Arbin. Our keynote speaker is Cortney Jordan who represented the USA in the recent 2013 “International Paralympics World Swimming Championships” receiving three gold, one silver and two bronze medals. Also in attendance will be Lucky Jordan who guarded the beaches of Ocean City from 1945 – 1955. He the day the was guarding the beach bay bridge opened and brought a whole new world to the Eastern

Shore, changing Ocean City forever. Lucky was also featured in the Maryland Public Television documentary on the Chesapeake bay bridge. There will be some Lucky Jordan competitions on the beach on Saturday for some brave OCBP alumni to participate. The OCBP has a rich history in its members both past and present. Some went on to become war heroes beginning with the second World War; some have been elected to national office, while others have become judges, research scientists, doctors and even a president of a large university. Interestingly they

all talk about their years with the OCBP as the most important service they have ever given. We will also be announcing the mayor and City Council’s decision to proclaim a day each July as Ocean City Beach Patrol day to honor all members of the patrol both past and present as well as establishing a support organization called “Friends of the Ocean City Beach Patrol.” If interested in becoming involved with the Ocean City Beach Patrol in any way, e-mail ocbp@ococean.com.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Fin City Brewer Vince Wright, front, stands with fellow brewers, from left, Patrick Brady, Ryan Intrieri, Justin Keller and Mike Glavich, at the brewery in Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City. Fin City will introduce its first bottled beers on shelves across Maryland next week.

Local brewery, Fin City, now bottling craft beers Expansion was necessary to meet customers’ needs; distribution starts Oct. 10 CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Oct. 4, 2013) Fin City, the brewery tucked into the second floor space of Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City, will expand beyond serving patrons at the restaurant next week with a move to bottle its craft beers. The brewery will start its bottle distribution in Maryland with its Jackspot Amber Ale and Pumpkin Ale on Oct. 10, with plans to roll out a seasonal IPA in about a month, brewer Vince Wright said. “We’ve always talked about distribution. It just happened a lot faster than we expected,” he said. Fin City began brewing beer less than two years ago, in March 2012, but is still Ocean City’s oldest brewery. With its fivebarrel system, it serves around 400 kegsworth of beer to Hooper’s patrons each year, the restaurant’s Manager Patrick Brady said. “We couldn’t make it fast enough, and that’s just for the restaurant,” Wright said.

To meet the much bigger demand that comes with bottling and distribution, the venture had to expand. Research and local brewer connections led Wright to Peabody Heights Brewery in Baltimore, where he’ll make vastly bigger batches of Fin City’s recipes. The partnership at the fully automated brewery bumps productivity to about 80-barrelsized batches, Wright said. “Going from five-barrel to 80-barrel is a big jump, but it’s exciting,” he said. “In a little over three days, I can make the same amount as I can in one year (at the smaller Hooper’s brewery).” And with plans to expand into Virginia, Delaware, and eventually throughout the mid-Atlantic region, the Baltimore brewery has the room for further expansion, he said. Wright’s passion for beer dates back several generations, when his grandfather and great-grandfather brewed during prohibition. “They passed away before I was even born, but my grandmother told me about it,” he said. “I hesitated (to become a brewer) because I didn’t think I could make a living doing it, so I joined the Navy.” But in 2008, after his grandmother left him a box of old brewing books, he “finally made the plunge,” and bought a

small brewing system, he said. Shortly after winning a prize for his pumpkin ale in the 25th anniversary Punkin Chunkin contest in Delaware in 2010, he came to Hooper’s annual Brews on the Beach craft beer festival. “I just came in and saw the open space up there,” Wright said. He approached Hooper’s staff with the idea to open a brewery in the then-storage area, and “it’s been fast and furious ever since,” Brady said. “We kept Vince (who also works fulltime as a sales manager) rather busy, and this year we’ve kept him even busier,” Brady said. To market the new bottles, Fin City plans to host release parties at new distributor locations. It has bumped up merchandise production and used social media, where Fin City’s Facebook and Twitter followers have “helped get us where we are,” Wright said. As far as watching the first Fin City bottles roll out next week, he said, “It’s going to be an awesome feeling seeing the first ones come down the line.” To learn more about Fin City and its beers, visit www.fincitybrewing.com. Follow the brewery on Facebook at FinCity BrewingCompany or at the Twitter handle @FinCityBrews.

In a recent seminar held at the Ocean City convention center on condo financing, local mortgage representatives Jamie Wetzelberger with Suntrust and Paul Soulé with PHH Mortgage, offered an overview to area Realtors with overall education and updates on the condo financing market. The goal of the seminar was to provide a strategy that best supports the financing of condominiums by utilizing local resources to make the overall condo financing experience a smooth, timely, and efficient one with the most successful outcome. Included in the financing portion of the discussion were the four factors that determine pricing for home loans. They are: • Credit score (credit score of 740 provides best tier of pricing — they use median score of the three credit reporting agencies). • Down payment (20 percent down will come with a “condo” add-on, which costs an 1/8 to 1/4 percent higher on the rate — but 25 percent down offers no add-on). • Occupancy (investment property will come with an add-on; you can’t own two second homes in the same town, one will be an investment loan: primary Home/second home/investment property.) • Property type: single family or condo. In addition, the down payment is important with condo financing. A 20 percent down payment requires full condo review (condo questionnaire, proof of insurance, budget). But a 25 percent down payment requires limited condo review. However, buyers can obtain condo financing with as little as 10 percent down in most instances with excellent credit and a monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI). The potential red flags that can pose problems in obtaining a loan for a condo are: • Short-term rentals — no daily See PROFESSIONALS on Page 2C
