(Sept. 20, 2013) City Hall is apparently cracking down on what is seen as disruptive or un-productive behavior during council meetings, although those affected are clearly skeptical about the motivations of the authorities. Local activist and frequent council critic Ellie Diegelmann was asked to leave Monday night’s meeting by the attending police officer, after applauding in response to comments made by another citizen to the council. Diegelmann clapped her hands for only a few seconds before ceasing. However, the Ocean City Police Department officer who was detailed to monitor the council meeting then approached Diegelmann’s seat. “He told me, ‘The council president says you have to leave,’” Diegelmann said following the meeting. She and the officer then went into the hallway, where Diegelmann says she asked why she was being removed and if she could come back in. “He wouldn’t tell me why I was being asked to leave, but he said that everyone gets two warnings, and the third time he would have to arrest me,” Diegelmann said. She then came back into the council chambers to get her notes, which she had left on her chair. Diegelmann then began to waive her arms in the air, the intent of which was to get the council’s

Flames engulf a townhouse building on 94th Street Sunday afternoon, consuming most of it except for areas protected by sprinkler systems.

Fire destroys resort townhomes ‘My unit survived the most and the sprinklers definitely helped. I’m pretty amazed.’ (Sept. 20, 2013) A 94th Street house erupted in flames last Sunday afternoon, charring part of the building, melting one car and threatening nearby buildings, as firefighters from Ocean City and Delaware faced an inferno that sent up a massive column of smoke visible for miles.

Political tensions fuel council’s debate over public comments attention and, hopefully, have them ask the officer to allow her to stay. “After I waived my arms to get their attention, [the officer] said ‘that’s two,’” Diegelmann said. She subsequently left. Council President Lloyd Martin said he made eye contact with the officer, as he often does in regard to particularly rowdy public comments, but did not specifically desire that she be removed. “I looked at the officer and the officer looked at me when she was waving her arms around,” Martin said. “We don’t want people doing stuff like that. I did see that [Diegelmann and the officer] were having a back-and-forth in the hallway, but I don’t know what was said.” At least one member of council, Brent Ashley, seemed to be skeptical of the response. “Can’t we just give her a warning or something?” Ashley asked Martin as Diegelmann left. “How can I give her a break when I don’t’ know what was going on?” Martin asked rhetorically after the meeting. The debate over public comments themselves has political overtones. Many speakers, including Diegelmann, are frequent critics of the council’s current majority. Her applause, Diegel-

If it did escalate to that point, that person would be charged with disorderly conduct.” During strategic planning sessions this past winter, the council and City Manager David Recor pledged to bring more organization and decorum to city meetings. Part of this involved re-arranging the public comments portion of weekly council meetings, with comments on Tuesday work sessions occurring at the beginning of the meeting and being restricted only to matter germane to the day’s agenda. Comments were also initially moved to the beginning of Monday meetings, but were moved back to the ends of the meetings earlier this year given the excessive length of some public commentary. Although theoretically limited to five minutes apiece, the council has let speakers go longer to discuss particularly urgent projects. During the uproar over paid parking additions in May, some Monday night comment periods lasted over two hours, tying up city staff who were waiting to discuss items later on in the agenda.

Homeowner thanks fire department for ‘an amazing job’ Ocean City Communications received the call for the bayside fire around 2:25 p.m. Sunday. Firefighters arrived on scene to find the building in flames. Witnesses said the fire started on the exterior of the building, quickly consuming the vinyl siding and front porches before spreading to the attic. Automatic sprinklers in the occupied floors of the house helped keep the fire at bay until firefighters arrived. “My unit survived the most and the sprinklers definitely helped,” Joson said. “I’m “My unit pretty amazed.” survived the Staying with most and the an aunt in Easton, she has sprinklers been returning definitely to her 94th helped.

When she opened a torched dresser, she found her clothes, damp from the sprinklers. Most remarkable, she said, was uncovering an intact Ocean City Fire Department T-shirt. “It was just so amazing to me, because I’m standing in the middle of my bedroom knee deep in ashes,” she said. “The fire department just did an amazing job.” Joson first heard about the fire on an unusual weekend off work, while watching the Solomons Offshore Grand Prix boat races with her husband. “I got a call (from a coworker) so I knew it was important,” she said.

“Everyone’s offering to help…” KRISTIN JOSON Owner of one of the three units Eventually, family and friends in town confirmed that the fire was in her home, and her daughter texted her a picture of the flames. The owners of the two other townhomes in the building use them as vacation homes and were not present when the fire erupted. Even Joson’s dogs were out of the building, she said. “It was empty, and that’s really unusual,” she said. Since the blaze, members of the Beach Patrol and others in the resort have reached out to help, she said. “Everyone’s offering to help … I appreciate all the support of my Beach Patrol friends and my town of Ocean City friends,” she said. Still, she has a lot of work left sifting through debris and arranging other details, such as insurance claims for her melted car and relocating salvaged items to a storage unit. “All in all, I feel like I’ve been handling it okay. It’s a big project ahead of me,” Joson said. “It’s just beginning, really, I think. It’s a long journey.”

The cause of the 94th Street fire was still under investigation at press time. Anyone with photographs or video of the fire before firefighters arrived is asked to contact the Ocean City Fire Marshal’s Office at 410-289-8780.

Despite the charred exterior, unit owner Kristin Joson was surprised to find some of her possessions in the interior of the home intact.

OCPD forms Special Enforcement Unit for plainclothes work areas of Ocean City and serve as proactive crime fighters.” According to OCPD Information Officer Mike Levy, plainclothes work is typically carried out by the CID, which oversees the department’s detectives. However, plainclothes work that involves monitoring a given area or neighborhood is typically a function coordinated by the Patrol Division, which pulls officers for the task as needed. “We’ve always had officers working in plainclothes capacities, but we’ve never had a full-time group,” Levy said. When the Patrol Division’s coverage calls for plainclothes work, it typically details undercover-trained officers from the CID, taking them out of their other functions. The SEU will now provide a dedicated pool of officers to conduct plainclothes operations.

New branch will operate with patrol, investigation divisions to monitor city ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) The Ocean City Police Department announced this week that it has established a new element within the department – known as the Special Enforcement Unit – to serve as a go-between for plainclothes operations. “The new Special Enforcement Unit will act as a stepping stone between our Patrol Division and our Criminal Investigation Division,” OCPD Chief Buzzuro said in a release. “The unit will look very closely at growing crime trends in various

“This takes it to the next level,” Levy said. “Patrol will be able to conduct an operation without having to pull a detective from the rest of the CID.” For instance, SEU personnel could be used if the Patrol Division wished to do undercover monitoring of areas where burglaries are known to occur over the winter. “You couldn’t put a uniformed patrol officer or a marked car there because then everybody would know,” Levy said. “You’d want to establish surveillance with plainclothes officers.” Although working between divisions, the SEU will remain under the administrative control of the CID. No new officers will be hired specifically for the unit, although the formation of the group will involve some transfers and promotions. “The costs had to be handled within their existing budget, so we will not be in-

creasing the budget to handle those costs,” said city Budget Manager Jennie Knapp. “They’re going to figure out how to fund the unit through their regular operating accounts.” The formation of the SEU is the second major OCPD operational initiative in the past few weeks. Last month, Buzzuro and Mayor Rick Meehan began to promote the department’s plan to increase the number of surveillance cameras in the resort. The completion of the final phase of Boardwalk reconstruction in the spring saw 12 additional cameras placed on the boards, as well as a fiber optic network that will be able to support more cameras throughout the downtown area. Although the cameras are currently not monitored in real-time, Levy said the department has floated plans to do so in the future.

Annual Bike Week sees record numbers for OC’s fall season Hotels, restaurants say business up over ‘perfect weekend’ for participants CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Ocean City saw another boost in shoulder season crowds and business thanks to bike week events in the area last week, event organizers and local business owners agreed. “We were up in attendance at the inlet overall. It had to be the largest bike week. There were well over 200,000” attendees over the course of the week, OC BikeFest Organizer Cliff Sutherland said. BikeFest featured daredevil demos by Circus Una and riders on the Wall of Death as well as hundreds of vendors selling everything from leather to LED lights, but the highlight was the five national bands that took the stage throughout the week, Sutherland said. “All the bands put on great shows. It’s unusual to have five national acts and all five of them just kill it,” he said. Across the Route 50 Bridge, Bikes to

the Beach Fall Rally packed the house at Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City, the restaurant’s General Manager Ryan Intrieri said. “We had record-breaking numbers, that’s for sure,” he said. “We definitely had more than normal (for Bike Week).” And in Salisbury, at Seacrets in Ocean City and at Rommel HarleyDavidson Delmarva in Seaford, Del., Delmarva Bike Week brought out visitors in droves for events like ride-in shows, the American Motor Dome thrill show, live bands and a host of vendors. “We thought it was a very good crowd,” Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Rommel Harley-Davidson Reyn Mansson said. “Many people in our tent thought it was a better crowd than last year.” Bike week organizers attributed the week’s major success to good weather, a sentiment echoed throughout the city. “The weather was fantastic, especially for all of our visitors who were spending the weekend on their motorcycles,” Communications Manager for the Town of Ocean City Jessica Waters said.

Well-behaved bikers in area for events NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) The bikers who inundated the resort area this past weekend were, for the most part, an orderly and safe group. Several minor accidents in Ocean City and surrounding areas occurred, but “nothing very serious,” Ocean City Police Department Public Affairs Officer Mike Levy said. One motorcyclist, Dawn Foster, 51, of New Bloomfield, Pa., was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center after striking a truck that was stopped for traffic on Route 90 west of St. Martin’s Neck Road on Friday at about 5:30 p.m, according to Maryland State Police. The collision shut down Route 90.

Foster was charged with negligent driving. A major collision Saturday afternoon left a motorcyclist in critical condition after he failed to yield the right of way to the driver of a vehicle at 133rd Street. He was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center, where his condition was later upgraded to stable. There were also a couple of arrests of motorcyclists for driving on suspended licenses and for violations of local ordinances, he said. One biker, Todd Lawrence Trout, 42, of Middle River, was stopped near 16th Street Saturday because he failed to stop at the designated stop line.

Rommel Harley-Davidson sells more motorcycles than last year “It was the perfect weekend,” Intreiri said. And while he said some vendors like Fastlight LED’s were “nonstop busy the entire rally,” businesses outside of official bike week events also felt the boom as crowds spread into local restaurants, bars and hotels. “If you took bike week out of the equation, the whole town would’ve been probably half of what it was” business-wise, co-General Manager at Seacrets Rico Rossi said. He estimated business at Seacrets was up 10 percent over bike week last year. “People were all the way up to Rehoboth Beach Saturday night, having dinner,” Mansson said. According to demoflush statistics, which use wastewater flows to estimate the city’s population, there were 194,076 people in Ocean City over the weekend. While that’s down just over 2 percent from bike week last year, businesses were “very happy” with the outcome, Sutherland said. “We’re heard from a lot of restaurants and hotels, and obviously waiters and waitresses were very happy,” he said. “Not only did our visitors have a Continued from Page 7A

good weekend, but our businesses seemed to have done quite well also,” Waters said. Another indicator: “We sold more motorcycles this year than last year” at Harley-Davidson, Mansson said. Bike week is growing in popularity, Sutherland said, and bikers came from as far as Canada and Texas to what was once a regional event. “The bikers themselves were just excited to see all the other bikers,” he said. “They’re just coming because there’s a lot of bikes around, and they just enjoy being part of something big.” The only problem he noticed were the crowds at some of the concerts at the Inlet, which were so big some attendees couldn’t see the stage. “We had good issues,” he said. Intrieri agreed, “For us here at Hooper’s, we’re going to work on our parking situation … Every space on Saturday was worth its weight in gold.” “We had no complaints whatsoever,” he said. “The city employees were tremendous setting up, police were excellent,” added Sutherland. “It’s great to see the city embracing the event.”

Officers ‘very proactive’ in increasing enforcement for events stated that Trout and his passenger were both wearing leather cut-off sleeve vests with the Titan Motorcycle Club logo on the back. The officer wrote that he knew the logo belonged to the Titan Outlaw Motorcycle Gang and he called for a K-9 unit. The K-9 alerted to the rear compartment of the motorcycle, where the officer found a black “flashlight-style weapon” and arrested Trout. After arresting Trout, the officer searched him and found a switchblade knife and brass knuckles, according to the charging document.

That was just one of the officer-initiated calls while the bikers were in town. The number of citizen calls for service during the weekend the bikers were here were down very slightly from last year, where there were 323 calls. This year, there were 319. The total number of calls handled, including business checks and traffic stops, was 895 for last year and 1,400 for this year. Levy attributed that large increase to officers being “very proactive” and added that 428 of those calls this year were initiated by officers. Although demoflush numbers indi-

Wood Flooring for your beach home has become more “stable” with engineering features and trees are being saved when using eco-friendly floors of cork and bamboo! What do we make of it all? “It is a lot of information coming at us. Here are some basic thoughts when planning your new beach home flooring.” Ask yourself… • Do you rent and/or how often? • How often do you “Wet” or steam clean you main traffic areas? • How do I contain my flooring cost? Our Beach Homes must be the cheerful “get a way.” When it’s “Our turn” to stay at our beach place, we wish our beach homes not to show stains in traffic areas, “Berber pulls” or smell of musty carpet from constant cleaning of the dirty traffic areas. 1) If we rent or use our “Beach Place” often…, Hard Surface Flooring in Hallways, Dining, and Living Rooms can be cleaned with a dust mop product rather than constant carpet cleaning maintenance. Porcelain tile that look like wood or “Beach Block”tile can be placed in areas subjected to moisture and are extremely durable. 2) Carpet “steam” cleanings are essential to all “soft goods” maintenance. By soft goods I mean Carpet. Putting a hard surface flooring into main traffic areas of your Beach Home is not only a trend, but a necessary flooring surface. When we know that we are keeping our living rooms busy with rentals or heavy use, hard surface flooring becomes important. 3) How do we contain our costs? An average cost of Hard Surface flooring could be budgeted at approximately $10. per sq. ft. . . . . including total installation. The latest of decorating trends have offered “wood style” hard surface flooring available in laminate and tile, to coordinate with kitchens that are already tiled. SAVE your money and just install a Hallway and Dining Room… or do the entire living room, dining room, hallway. The Bedrooms are traditionally the areas of the less traffic. SAVE your money and do carpeting in your bedrooms next year. When you come into our showroom on route 54, sit on our beach chair, take your shoes off, put your feet on our SmartStrand Silk Carpet color SAND and tell us your needs.

cated approximately the same number of people were in Ocean City for the weekend of Delmarva Bike Week this year as last year, there was a difference in the number of visitors before the event officially began. OC BikeFest and the Bikes to the Beach Fall Rally also brought motorcyclists to town. “We had far more people here in town related to the event earlier in the week than in years past,” Levy said.

County Sheriff’s Office said he believed there had been four crashes, but none were very serious. Sheriff Reggie Mason said there had been very few problems and Ocean Pines Police Chief David Massey echoed that sentiment. “They’re very well behaved,” Ocean Pines Police Chief David Massey said. “That hasn’t been a bad event at all.” County attorney Sonny Bloxom had an explanation for the well-behaved bikers. “They’re too old to cause trouble,” he said.

OCFD letter implicates councilman in recent city controversies Cymek allegedly pressed Savage for information in disputes with Larmore ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Correspondence from within the Ocean City Fire Department, obtained by this newspaper, points the finger at a city councilman as being involved in the recent unrest within the resort’s fire and EMS services. In addition to more recent controversies, these may include the problematic captains’ promotion in the fall of 2012, an incident that prompted the city to spend more than $100,000 in legal fees in order to preempt an investigation by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission. The correspondence, dated July 17, was authored by Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company Assistant Chief Will Savage and addressed to OCVFC Chief David Cropper. Its authenticity was verified by Savage after he was questioned by Ocean City Today about the document. The document recounts a July 16 phone conversation between Savage and City Councilman Doug Cymek. The

conversation allegedly revolved around Cymek’s continuing objection to the non-use of the department’s dive team in July’s plane crash, as well as Cymek’s conduct in previous disputes and controversies within the OCFD. The purpose of his letter, Savage wrote to Cropper, was to comply with the department’s chain-of-command protocols, as well as to raise concern “that issues in the city continue to be improperly investigated from the top down versus the bottom up.” In one portion, Savage alleges he was told by Cymek that “last fall, when he [Cymek] received information regarding the fire department and acted upon it, he did not reveal his source(s), even after receiving threats from the city attorney.” “In my opinion, these matters should come down from the City Manager to my supervisor, or be initiated at my level and pushed up if they are out of my scope of responsibility,” Savage said when asked why he had authored the document. “The way these things are being handled currently contradicts everything we do as a department.” Cymek declined to comment on the matter, stating that he had never seen the letter and was unaware of the allegations. Despite being supplied with both paper and electronic copies of the

letter by this newspaper, he would not provide any further input. “When I saw who the letter was addressed to, I stopped reading and gave it to the city manager,” he said. “It was clearly not intended to be given to me … and I don’t think it’s [the newspaper’s] job to be giving it.” In the letter, Savage said that he was “contacted by a third party” who left a voicemail on his phone requesting that he contact Cymek. Savage did so the next day. Savage wrote that Cymek first said “he is impressed with the way that I operate my incidents. He even went so far as to tell me that he feels that I could someday be Chief of the Department.” Following that, Savage wrote, Cymek “said that he had questions for me and assured me that he does not reveal his sources, and that I would be held in a position of no harm.” “Councilmember Cymek then stated that he was contacted by ‘a volunteer member of the dive team’ who relayed concern as a taxpayer about the plane crash that recently occurred,” Savage’s narrative reads, “and that the concerns were ‘troubling to police officers, career firefighters, and volunteer firefighters.’” On July 1 of this year, an aircraft owned and piloted by an Ocean City Police Department officer crashed a short distance of the beach in north Ocean

City. The wreck claimed the lives of the pilot as well as his passenger, who was also an OCPD officer. Shortly thereafter, OCFD Chief Chris Larmore, who oversees the volunteer company as well as the city’s paid fire and EMS division and the Office of the Fire Marshal, came under fire for his decision to not send the department’s rescue divers to assist the Maryland State Police in the recovery operation. “Councilmember Cymek stated his concerns about decisions made that day by the Fire Chief, and that he felt those decisions were not based upon the needs of the incident but, rather, upon money,” Savage recounted in his letter to Cropper. “I recently had a conversation with another member of the department who was broadcasting this same erroneous information on Facebook (I consider this to be a personnel matter that I handled, and am comfortable with the outcome that I had with that individual),” Savage continued. “Because of the amount of false information that Councilmember Cymek had received (or presumed), I knowingly and willingly engaged in a conversation with him in an attempt to educate him on the true events of that day.” According to a memo, written by the OCFD dive team’s leadership and circuSee RECOR on Page 11A

Councilman ‘did not reveal sources’ during ‘events of last fall’ “If it involved me specifically, it would’ve been brought to my attention,” Cymek said. Although it was not made explicitly clear, Savage said it was his understanding that Cymek’s reference to “the events of last fall” pertained to the controversial selection of new OCFD captains in the fall of 2012. “I would have to presume that’s what it is,” Savage said. “Not that much else went on last fall because of that.” In November of 2012, Larmore approached the City Council with a proposal to promote one of the department’s lieutenants to captain, and another lieutenant to the title of “acting” captain, until the department’s budget would allow for an extra captain’s pay. Continued from Page 11A

However, this pitch was opposed by the city’s chapter of the International Association of Fire Fighters, which is the collective bargaining unit for the OCFD’s paid personnel. The union alleged that Larmore had never portrayed his intent to promote two candidates, instead of the one allotted for that fiscal year, when conducting the selection process. At least one member of council, according to numerous sources, backed the IAFF’s position, allegedly trying to dictate to Larmore whom should and should not be promoted. The IAFF’s favored candidate for captain was male, while the other was female. Although the city declined the IAFF’s grievance in the case, objections did not stop. Rumors began circulating through City Hall and the resort’s

Welcome to Ocean City

emergency services that Larmore had engaged in sexual relations with the female candidate, although Recor had declared the allegations to be unfounded. The apparent scheme to discredit Larmore and the female candidate allegedly revealed a pattern of harassment and intimidation in the OCFD. The female candidate charged that she had long been the victim of harassment by fellow firefighters because of her gender, and filed a complaint with the EEOC to that effect. Although the city settled the issue and the complaint was withdrawn, the city’s labor attorneys – Miles & Stockbridge – conducted an extensive investigation in order to maintain the town’s position of no harm should the case be pressed to court. Despite Public Information Act requests by this newspaper, the city has declined to release any of the docu-

ments produced by Miles & Stockbridge in the matter, citing attorney-client privilege. However, the city has revealed that its legal bills for the incident totaled $100,106.57. Savage said the alleged campaign against Larmore was an increasing burden on the department. “It’s really tough when you have council members coming to you for different issues, but they’re really looking for information on your boss,” Savage said. “We spend so much time dealing with this sort of stuff, it’s hard to get our own jobs done.” Larmore said he and Cropper had received Savage’s letter and had addressed the issue. He deferred any further details to Recor, who declined to verify them. “I can’t elaborate or tell you who said what or when, because then I would be discussing a personnel issue,” Recor said.

McDermott announces bid to challenge Mathias in state senate SHEILA R. CHERRY Associate Editor/Bayside Gazette MARYLAND—Del. Michael McDermott (R-38B) filed a petition to run for the state senate seat for Legislative District 38 on Sept. 16 and launched a direct challenge to incumbent Sen. Jim Mathias (D-38). In a Sept. 17 statement announcing his election bid, McDermott described himself as “a strong voice for Eastern M. McDermott Shore values and common sense spending.” During the 2013 session of the Maryland General Assembly, McDermott campaigned to defeat Gov. Martin O’Malley’s gun bill, which placed restrictions on certain in-state

gun purchases, and tried to dissuade local gun manufacturers from leaving the state after it became law. McDermott called a redistricting plan that resulted in his residence being assigned 30 miles outside his new legislative district “the retribution and politics that come to those viewed as a threat to the status quo of the General Assembly.” He added, “From the way I was redistricted, it is more than obvious that my core beliefs, which they wanted me to compromise, are not their beliefs.” In his statement McDermott said, “Simply casting a vote without a word is not enough,” and promised to continue his efforts of working in legislative committees, speaking out and fighting for his constituent’s rights. “I want people to know that, if elected, they will be getting

He said he would be seeking a way help the state return to the status of being “business friendly” by pushing for a moratorium on any further job and development stifling regulations. “We suffer disproportionately more in rural areas, he added, citing local agricultural industries that have been targeted by over regulation. He expressed a desire to increase recognition of farmers as environmental conservationists and to defend local watermen and fishing traditions. McDermott called the state’s energy policies restrictive, especially on the Lower Eastern Shore which is also dependent on tourism dollars. He said he did not mind the promotion of renewable energy, “as long as the taxpayers are not footing the bill.” He said he disagrees with Mathias on Maryland’s current path on energy policy, which he said “needs to be reversed.” McDermott also criticized the state’s current education policy, which he said is making Maryland, “The best place to get an education and the worst place to get a job.”

He currently serves as the commander of the Criminal Investigation Division for the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and previously served as the chief of police for the Town of Snow Hill. In his legislative career, McDermott serves as the ranking minority member on the Judiciary Committee and as chairman of the Worcester County Delegation. He was a two-term mayor of Pocomoke City. In a Sept. 17 interview, McDermott said he wanted to continue to advocate for Eastern Shore interests and, for the area’s constituents who favor a more limited impact form government, he said.

(Sept. 20, 2013) The lack of a motion to seek detailed information about the use of casino impact funds during June’s meeting of the Local Development Council led to disappointment for council member Cam Bunting on Tuesday. “I’ve been trying to get this forever,” said Bunting, who was surprised that the agenda was missing what she expected to find. “That kind of upset me.” During the June 17 meeting, Bunting, owner of a Berlin real estate company, said she wanted to see reports from Worcester County, Ocean City, Berlin and Ocean Pines to learn how those governments were spending impact funds. She wanted line items, not generalities. Although she made clear what she wanted, she did not make a motion as required during such meetings. “We didn’t vote,” Chairman Jim Rosenberg said. Despite the lack of a vote, Berlin Mayor Gee Williams did supply the information Bunting wanted. In his letter dated Sept. 13, Williams wrote that the town of Berlin received $227,474.31 in slots impact funds generated by the Casino at Ocean Downs. Those funds were used for principal and interest payments for the purchase of 5.25 acres of property adjacent to Route 113 and Bay Street extended. Council member and Ocean Pines Police Chief David Massey made a motion to seek detailed reports for the 2013 fiscal year, which concluded June 30 for the county, Ocean City and Berlin, but which concluded April 30 for Ocean Pines. Rosenberg said the council could ask for the information for the September meeting, but that perplexed Bunting, who asked if that meant the information would not be forthcoming until next September. Kim Moses, the county’s public information officer who acts as the council’s secretary, said she was “going on the premise you’ll meet twice a year” and that she could e-mail the information. Bunting was having none of that. “I want another meeting,” she said. “If we don’t have a meeting we can’t discuss it.” The council members then voted unanimously to send letters to the governments of the county, Ocean City, Berlin and Ocean Pines seeking the detailed information and to meet in January to discuss it. They did not vote on the next meeting date, but they agreed to meet Jan. 13. Of the local impact funds, 60 percent goes to Worcester County and 20 percent goes to Ocean City. Berlin and Ocean Pines each get 10 percent. The funds are to be used for infrastructure, facility improvements, public safety, sanitation, economic and business development and other impacted areas.

Casino at Ocean Downs to expand with table games NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Table games will be added to the Casino at Ocean Downs after the facility is enlarged. The expansion is the first phase of a multi-year plan, Joe Cavilla, the casino’s general manager, said Monday. The casino, now approximately 34,000 square feet, will be enlarged on its northern side, now the site of a parking lot. The existing wall will be removed to provide entry from the casino to the new space. “The inside is not fully developed yet,” Cavilla said. “We will go back to the [Maryland] Gaming Commission with that.” The casino, which is open 24 hours a day, currently has 800 of its permitted 850 slot machines. The number of table games allowed would be up to the state Gaming Commission. The first step in the process took place last Thursday when the Worcester County Planning Commission approved the site plan for the addition, which Cavilla said would be approximately 35,000 square feet. An unspecified number of table games and some of the existing 800 slot machines will go in the new area. The building as it is now “is not really that tight,” Cavilla said, but space is needed in the existing casino for new interactive games with sound chairs. “We need more room for customers to enjoy the experience,” he said. In 2011, the Planning Commission approved plans for two buildings, a bowling alley and a movie theater, to be constructed on a 7.5-acre parcel of land near the northeast intersection of Route 589 and Route 707, Gray’s Corner Road, but those plans are not moving forward at this time. “The expansion will take priority over that,” Cavilla said.

Carriage rides will continue downtown for winter season ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) The familiar sight, sound and smell of equine activity is likely to become a staple of the resort’s off-season, as the city council approved a request this week to continue with the horsedrawn carriage rides piloted last fall. With the support of the city’s Public Works Department and the Ocean City Development Corporation, Randy Davis of R&B Ranch in Salisbury gained conSee ROUTE on Page 17A

Committee reviews success, future of pedestrian safety prog. Collisions decrease by 39 percent over 2012; resort sees no fatalities this year ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) With funding in place for next year’s outreach campaign and a number of major capital improvements in the pipeline, the State Highway Administration’s aggressive push to improve pedestrian safety in the resort will likely continue long beyond this summer’s efforts. That initiative, however, was hailed as a success at this week’s bi-monthly meeting of the Ocean City Pedestrian Safety Committee, where Ocean City

Police Department data showed a 39 percent decrease in the number of pedestrian collisions in the resort versus 2012. That reduction expands to 52 percent on roads managed by the SHA, which include Coastal Highway and the southern portion of Baltimore Avenue. “We have a lot here to be happy with, but we certainly shouldn’t be satisfied at this point,” SHA District Engineer Ken Cimino said. Most importantly, however, pedestrian deaths have been reduced from two last year to none this year. “The bottom line is that we saw a 100 percent reduction in the fatality rate,” said Lt. Scott Harner, the OCPD’s lead accident reconstructionist and investigator.

“One of the most difficult and challenging jobs I have is when someone calls and tells you there’ s been a fatality, and you have to make that communication to the family or friends,” Harner said. “That’s one of my resolves in this campaign, that I haven’t had to do that, which is really personal for me.” The Pedestrian Safety Committee was formed last year in response to an uptick in pedestrian-vehicle collisions in the resort – 41 in total, versus 17 in 2011. Those also included the early-season deaths of two young vacationers. Matthew Cheswick, 22, was killed on May 28, 2012. Samantha Sweitzer, 15, was killed June 4, 2012. In the majority of cases throughout the 2012 summer, victims were re-

ported either not in a crosswalk or crossing against the signal, following an alarming trend of vacationers running across Coastal Highway midblock, often from the raised brick median where drivers do not expect then to be. This spurred the SHA and the Town of Ocean City to partner to find both short- and long-term solutions to traffic safety. Crucially, the SHA allocated a massive amount of state dollars towards what became the “Walk Smart” outreach and publicity campaign. “We hate to say that we’re ever a success,” SHA media head Lora Rakowski said. “Our goal is toward zero crashes, but we did see a marked benefit from our outreach and education efforts.” According to SHA data, 63 percent

“One of the most difficult and challenging jobs I have is when someone calls and tells you there’ s been a fatality, and you have to make that communication to the family or friends.” LT. SCOTT HARNER OCPD’s lead accident reconstructionist and investigator of those surveyed saw the “Walk Smart” campaign in some capacity. The same survey showed that 50.7 percent of respondents said they always used crosswalks and waited for the appropriate signal. By far the most visible element of the campaign was the cartoon crab used by the SHA as a mascot for safe pedestrian behavior on Coastal Highway. The character was featured on posters, banners and other print advertising, as well as radio and TV spots. The SHA even developed promotional coasters given out to bars and restaurants, which were often tonguein-cheek and featured the crab using stereotypical bar-scene pick-up lines. “It was an excellent opportunity to reach high-risk people who are otherwise hard to reach,” Rakowski said. “The young and inebriated are really our target set.” Along with the elimination of fatalities, the incidence of drivers hitting intoxicated pedestrians dropped by more than half this year, with only eight such incidents in 2013 versus 19 in 2012. Further, the crab campaign may become a statewide initiative, with the SHA using it in some metro areas as well. “It’s more identifiable,” Rakowski said. “People will see the crab and think pedestrian safety, and they’ll be

“It was an excellent opportunity to reach high-risk people who are otherwise hard to reach.” LORA RAKOWSKI SHA media head thinking that on their way to Ocean City.” “It’s my sense that they are looking at our program here to try to move some of the elements to other high-accident corridors in the state,” Cimino said. Rakowski also noted that many of the SHA’s efforts, while initially geared toward pedestrians, had been further tailored to drivers. “As we were seeing our first crashes in Ocean City that involved the fault of the driver, we did re-target some of our message,” Rakowski said. “We’ll be looking to get that out even earlier next year.” With equal success, the SHA’s engineering department also developed a multitude of new signage and pavement markings, warning pedestrians not to cross mid-block. Out of 536 people surveyed on the resort’s streets by the SHA, 295 said they had seen the markings, even more than said they had seen the media campaign. Only 118 reported having noticed nothing. “While people noticed the pave-

Be s t Vo te d O C’s K id s St o re

ment markings more, what they really seemed to remember was the crab,” SHA engineer Dallas Baker said. “The majority of those who said they hadn’t seen anything were also folks who said, ‘It’s my first night here,’ which says to me that there’s further opportunity to advertise on the corridors coming into town.” According to Baker’s data, 48 percent of those responding said the SHA’s efforts influenced their decision to use crosswalks. This does not include those who said they were not influenced because they already made a habit of proper crossing. The SHA will also be moving forward with two significant changes to the roadway itself. A stoplight and pedestrian signal will be installed at 54th Street in front of Macky’s, similar to the one at 49th Street in front of Seacrets. Last year, the stretch between 52nd and 56th streets – the longest strip with no controlled crossing – saw 14 percent of all accidents and one of the fatalities. See SHA on Page 20A

SHA will be going ahead with speed reduction, 54th Street light â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on target for having that construction started this fall or early in the winter,â&#x20AC;? Baker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled to definitely be online by Memorial Day,â&#x20AC;? Cimino added. Further, the administration has approval from the Maryland Highway Safety Office to lower the speed limit on Coastal Highway between 33rd and 62nd streets from 40 miles per hour to 35. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were required to do a study to make sure it was appropriate,â&#x20AC;? Baker said. That study found that 85 percent of motorists are going 37 mph and below, and 50 percent are going 33 mph and below. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to work with the town to decide when thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be implemented and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go about it,â&#x20AC;? Cimino said. The SHA will also continue with its timing modification of existing traffic signals. Turns onto Coastal Highway from the side roads at the 28th, 94th, and 130th street intersections are now split, meaning that traffic from the east and west sides turn separately and will not be conflicting with pedestrians when they have the green arrow. This caused some consternation earlier this year about excessive wait times at 94th Street, where Cimino has

Cimino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful we can get this done and move forward.â&#x20AC;? For 2014, the SHA will redirect its focus from the mid-town stretch between the convention center and Route 90 Bridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the most hazardous zone in 2012â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and work more closely on the corridor between 18th Street and 34th street. Of the 25 pedestrian collisions in the resort this year, 14 occurred below 40th Street. The SHA will look closely at Baltimore Avenue, which is under its jurisdiction south of 15th Street. The city-owned road to the north will receive similar attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought that the time may be coming to do some signal studies there, even though there are no signals in our stretch right now,â&#x20AC;? City Engineer Terry McGean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most dangerous things we see is that drivers who know the law stop [for pedestrians in crosswalks], but other people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t will try to pass around them and hit the pedestrians, who think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re okay to cross,â&#x20AC;? OCPD Capt. Kevin Kirstein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that we pushed hard about five years ago, but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really hit on since.â&#x20AC;?

New bond payments expected to average $1.3 million per year City has refinanced all loans past â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;call dateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for lower interest borrowing ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Bonds, debt, bonded indebtedness and the everominous â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfunded liabilitiesâ&#x20AC;? remain a frequent topic of debate in City Hall as the town prepares its final statements on the recently wrapped 2013 fiscal year and prepares for a $12.3 million bond issuance. The City Council passed the first reading of the ordinance this week authorizing the bond sale, which will likely occur at the end of the calendar

year given the more competitive interest rates offered. That issue will incur an estimated $1.3 million in average annual debt service. However, as a net of what the city pays in bond service overall, future payments are actually projected to decrease as the town retires older debts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember that what we established on the capital improvement is zero-sum,â&#x20AC;? City Manager David Recor told the council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any expenses you remove, which you have, will reduce what we pay overall.â&#x20AC;? The city estimates that $223,500 of the new debt service will be paid from the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund, which is balanced mostly by tax revenues. This borrowing will support projects like the construction of a new Ocean City

Upcoming GASB requirements may tip balance years, allowing for interest paid on the debt over that period as well. The state will finance the remaining $5.6 million of the theater’s $14 million price. However, local landlord and fiscal activist Tony Christ has been pressing the city to completely refinance all of its outstanding debt to a lower interest rate. But this is not so simple, city Finance Administrator Martha Bennett said this week. “We have refunded all the debt we legally can,” Bennett said. “We have bonds that, by their ordinance, can’t be refunded for ten years. The last bond you issued can’t be refunded until 2020.” When bonds are refinanced, the borrower is essentially paying off their debts early using money they borrowed from somewhere else at a lower interest rate, incurring less total loss on the borrower. However, many bonds have “call dates” attached to them, which mandate that the bond cannot be paid off before a certain time period. This guarantees the lender that they will receive the given interest rate for a minimum period of time. To be attractive to investors, most municipal bonds are paid back over 20 years with a 10-year “call” guaranteed. “If you already refinanced them, you can’t refinance them again,” Ben-

(Sept. 20, 2013) – The Ocean City Police Department and Lt. Scott Harner earned awards from the Maryland Highway Safety Office on Sept. 11 for participation in the “Walk Smart” campaign and enforcement efforts against traffic safety violations. OCPD worked very closely with the Highway Safety Office and the Maryland State Highway Administration to create and promote the campaign.

Lt. Harner is the head of OCPD’s Traffic Safety Unit. Not only have pedestrian collisions dropped by almost 50 percent since the introduction of the the “Walk Smart” campaign, but the Traffic Safety Unit has also removed numerous drunk drivers from resort roads and has been responsible for many drug and weapons arrests. Lt. Harner is often the creator behind the department’s traffic enforcement strategies that produce such results.

Police may now stop drivers for hand-held cell phone use (Sept. 20, 2013) On Oct. 1, a legislation change will go into effect regarding traffic safety regulations. Maryland police will be able to stop drivers for hand-held cell phone use and all passengers in a motor vehicle will be required to wear a seat belt. Fines for first-time cell phone use violators will increase from $40 to $75 and passengers who are not buckled up could face an increase in fines from $25 to $50. “Distracted driving because of cell

phone use and texting is one of the leading causes of motor vehicle collisions,” Ocean City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro said. “According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 11 percent of fatal auto accidents and 17 percent of ‘injury crashes’ in 2011 have cited distracted driving as a contributing factor. Drivers should always remember to park the phone before driving.” Parking the phone is not the only simSee DISTRACTED on Page 25A

COUNTY BRIEFS NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following topics and took the following actions during Tuesday’s meeting.

Housing rehab

The commissioners approved bid packages for the general rehabilitation of three single-family houses in the Berlin area. The projects will be funded through the county’s current Community Development Block Grant.

Drug enforcement MOU

The commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding between the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This will enable the Sheriff’s Office to be provided a portion of overtime pay for its investigators participating in any joint investigation that could potentially be prosecuted federally. Numerous suspects apprehended in the past by the Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Enforcement Team met the federal threshold for federal prosecution. The memorandum of understanding also provides equitable sharing of any seized assets stemming from these investigations to assist the Criminal Enforcement Team with its continued effort in drug enforcement.

driving offences, seatbelt usage and aggressive driving. In the last 12 years, there has not been a year without fatal motor vehicle collisions, but so far this year the county has had none. “We’re working very hard to keep that at zero,” Schreier said. The lowest number of motor vehicle fatalities during the last 12 years was eight in 2008. “We’re far below what we’ve ever had,” Schreier said.

Construction management

The commissioners approved a proposal from EA Engineering to provide construction management services for $12,714 and part-time construction inspection services for $26,900 during the duration of a construction project for a

new 500,000-gallon leachate storage tank at the central landfill. “It will be on an as-needed basis,” Public Works Director John Tustin said.

Road goes private

The commissioners approved the request of Public Works Director John Tustin to delete a portion of Showell School Road from the county inventory. An approved private road is being constructed as part of the Mapleton subdivision and will provide access to the Nichols and Bishop properties.

Nuisance abatement The commissioners approved the request of Ed Tudor, director of the Department of Development Review and

Permitting, to declare that two properties are public nuisances. One property is on Trappe Road near Berlin and the other is on Hotel Road in Bishopville. Both properties have a dilapidated, unsafe single-family house that appears to be abandoned.

Compactor Bids

The commissioners approved the low bid of $51,550 by Tom’s Truck Sales of Manassas, Va., for the purchase of seven 40-cubic-yard, open-top refuse containers and three 40-cubic-yard compactor containers for the Solid Waster Division of the Department of Public Works. The commissioners also approved the low bid of $170,341 by Barr Truck Group of Salisbury for one 2014 model cab and chassis with roll-off hoist for the same division.

Traffic safety

The commissioners approved the request of Worcester County Sheriff Reggie Mason and Lt. Ed Schreier for a Maryland Highway Traffic Safety Class. The Maryland Highway Safety Office provides $16,200 for the project, which stresses enforcement of drinking and

Distracted driving a factor in 11 percent of fatal collisions ple thing that can be done to protect safety on the roads. Wearing a seatbelt is one of the single most essential choices a citizen can make while in a vehicle. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2011, seat belts saved an estimated 11,949 lives nationwide. This includes back seat passengers, not just those in the front seat. Ocean City police will enforce the new legislation changes beginning Oct.1. Buckling a seatbelt or staying off cell phones are two of the simplest things that can be done to prevent a vehicle collision or injury. Continued from Page 24A

(Sept. 20, 2013) It was ho-hum during Tuesday’s meeting when the Worcester County Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt their new voting districts. President Bud Church called for a legislative session and a public hearing, but the public failed to materialize. There were no comments. Interest in the reconfigured districts was nearly non-existent when three public hearings were held in August. Only nine people attended the hearings in Berlin, Snow Hill and Pocomoke. Despite the poor attendance, the hearings included an explanation, accompanied by maps, of the proposed changes for each county commissioner’s district. The maps had been drafted in response to changes in the county’s population as reflected in the 2010 Census, which showed a population increase of 5,005 year-round residents, or 10.8 per-

cent, from 46,543 in 2000 to 51,548 in 2010. On Tuesday, Ed Tudor, director of the Department of Development Review and Permitting, once again said there had been a great disparity among the districts and that led to the need to “bring the population figures into balance.” It was important to consider the one person, one vote concept that districts have roughly the same population totals. Additional criteria used to determine the location of new boundary lines were to retain the majority minority district and to respect the boundaries of the new state legislative districts as much as possible. Mayor Gee Williams and the Berlin Town Council had requested a change and it was minor. At their request, county staff adjusted the boundary between the Western District and the Sinepuxent District in the vicinity of Harrison Avenue and North Main Street, an area that includes just 14 houses with 35 residents. Another change restored the southern boundary of the Ocean Pines District to follow the southern boundary of the Ocean Pines community. That change See NEW on Page 28A

Brass knuckles Ocean City police charged a motorcyclist with having a concealed deadly weapon and possession of brass knuckles following a traffic stop near 28th Street and Philadelphia Avenue on Sept. 14. An officer stopped Rodney G. Wymer, 37, of Stephens City, Va., because his registration plate was not displayed properly on his red Honda CBR. A check of Wymer’s license revealed it was suspended. After arresting Wymer because of driving while his license was suspended, the officer searched him and found a pair of brass knuckles.

Two men were arrested Sept. 13 after a fight on the sidewalk near 42nd Street.

According to Ocean City police, Mark Aaron Baxter, 37, of Hanover, Pa., and James Andrew Britton, 31, of Jarrettsville, were yelling and fighting. People on a bus stopped there “were staring in shock and disbelief,” according to police. Baxter and Britton were charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree assault.

Alleged burglary A 21-year-old Salisbury man was arrested Sept. 15 after allegedly forcing his way into an apartment on Robin Drive. According to the charging document, the occupant told Labronte Teron Hilliard to get out and Hilliard responded by punching him several times in the head. Hilliard was charged with third-degree burglary and second-degree assault.

New polling places could be added meant the district would be restored to the way it was. And the Board of Elections, Tudor said Tuesday, had asked that numbers be attached to census blocks. Earlier this summer, Kay Hickman, president of the Board of Elections, said some people might have to drive from Berlin to Snow Hill or Pocomoke to vote. Continued from Page 26A

It is possible that polling places could be added to make casting ballots less of a chore to voters. At the request of the Board of Elections, the bill to adopt the new districts was to be passed as emergency legislation so they would be effective immediately. This would enable the Board of Elections to determine precinct lines and polling places faster.

Porch enclosure issue revisited at Commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting Campers will have chance to discuss enclosure of porches at campground NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Bali Hi campers will have the opportunity to tell the Worcester County Commissioners why they should be permitted to enclose their porches with soft plastic instead of insect screening, the only material now allowed. During Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting of the county commissioners, two of the commissioners, President Bud Church and Madison Bunting, said they wanted to put their names on the requested text amendment that would permit the soft plastic porch enclosures at cooperative campgrounds. In August, none of the commissioners put their name on it, but Church and Bunting said the people requesting the change should be able to speak about the issue during a public hearing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the folks who want to have their case heard, in my opinion, they have the right to be heard,â&#x20AC;? Church said. Bunting said there had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;no chance for the people to plead their case.â&#x20AC;? He also mentioned the expense incurred by the Bali Hi campers, who hired attorney Mark Cropper to represent them. Commissioner Judy Boggs strenuously objected to the change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one wanted to put their name on the bill [in August],â&#x20AC;? Boggs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a waste of time and money when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it before, ad nauseum.â&#x20AC;? Boggs was so adamant in her objection that she asked county attorney Sonny Bloxom if it was even legal to proceed with a public hearing. Bloxom assured her that it was legal and that no votes had been taken, so the bill did not get introduced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do it in the General Assembly all the time,â&#x20AC;? Bloxom said. Nevertheless, Boggs made a motion to not go forward with a public hearing because of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;waste of time and

money,â&#x20AC;? but her motion failed to get a second, so the public hearing will be held. It is scheduled for Oct. 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased that the commissioners have reconsidered the matter and will give interested parties the opportunity to be heard regarding the merits of this proposed text amendment,â&#x20AC;? Cropper said. The commissioners starting discussing enclosed porches nearly 10 years ago when the county approved legislation permitting cooperative campgrounds. That legislation permits only insect screening on porches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other than the wall adjacent to the recreational vehicle, recreational park trailer or cabin, the wall area of porches shall be enclosed by insect screening only,â&#x20AC;? the county zoning regulations state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Porches shall not be enclosed

with glass panels, plastic film, roll plastic or plastic sheathing, windows, solid walls or any other enclosure devices or methods.â&#x20AC;? During past discussions, the commissioners have been concerned that those other materials could lead to people using their porches as additional to their campers, recreational vehicles or trailers and making the campground units a step closer to permanent residences, which the county does not permit in cooperative campgrounds. Safety is an additional concern. During the commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; July 16 meeting, Fire Marshal Jeff McMahon said using soft plastic instead of insect screening would be hazardous because the soft plastic would hold in smoke and heat, which dissipate when insect screening is used.

Mustard, ketchup used to trash brother’s Ocean City apartment Man maliciously smears condiments on floors and furniture in unit’s interior NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Brotherly love was lacking Sept. 11 when a 59-year-old Delaware man reportedly trashed his brother’s Ocean City residence by pouring and squeezing ketchup and mustard on the floors and furniture. One of the resident’s neighbors called police after verifying that the suspect should not be inside. A maintenance man had told him the door and window were open and condiments were all over the unit’s interior. The concerned neighbor went to the workplace of the owner, who told him the intruder was probably his brother, who did not have permission to be there. He then returned to his own residence in time to see the intruder holding the resident’s black mountain bike and trying to leave the property. He asked the intruder where he was coming from and the intruder gave the man the number of his own unit, so he knew that was untrue because another resident was inside. He then went inside his own unit and called police. Before police arrived, the suspect returned to the unit he had trashed. When two police officers arrived, they saw that the window screen had been knocked out and the front door was wide open. They could see condiments thrown around the residence and a man, later identified as Michael

Dwyer of Claymont, rummaging through the refrigerator. Both officers drew their weapons and ordered the suspect to exit the unit with his hands up. Dwyer complied and reportedly said it was his brother’s place and he had permission to be there. According to the charging document, the officer “observed mustard, ketchup and icing spread about the house in a malicious manner. A couch and stool had lines of mustard on the upholstery as well as the pillow and blanket that where (sic) on the couch. The entire living room and kitchen floor was covered in a mixture of mustard and ketchup. The stove in the kitchen had icing smeared on the stovetop. As I checked other rooms in the dwelling I continued to observe the same pattern of condiments being spread about the house. The bathroom floor was covered in mustard and the bedroom floor had lines of ketchup on the floor and the walls.” Another officer went to the workplace of the suspect’s brother, who confirmed that his brother was not allowed in the residence. Police charged Dwyer with thirdand fourth-degree burglary and malicious destruction of property. Further investigation led to the discovery of the mountain bike under the storage area of the building. Icing and mustard were on the bike’s tires. The brother confirmed that it was his bike and he said he kept it in his bedroom. He also said it was valued at approximately $100. Police then charged Dwyer with firstdegree burglary and theft of less than $100.

Mallards shut out Royals 15-0, top Eagles 6-1 Veterans and new players work well together, coach says LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) The Worcester Prep field hockey team scored big wins this week, first shutting out the Delmarva Christian Royals 15-0 on Monday, then the Lady Mallards topped the Holly Grove Eagles 6-1 the next day. The Mallards led the Royals 8-0 at halftime of the Sept. 16 game in Berlin. Senior captain Meg Lingo netted two shots in the first half and juniors Jordie Loomis and Caroline Lindsay, sophomores Hanna Nechay and Isabel Carulli and freshmen Eva Parks and Regan Lingo each scored once. Parks deflected the ball into the goal with her stick less than two minutes into the second half. It was followed by two junior Emmi Shockley goals.

Parks, R. Lingo and freshmen Leigh Lingo and Kathleen Emche finished off the scoring for Worcester. Freshman Margaret McGuiness started in goal for the Mallards. In the second half, she played on the defensive line and senior Maddie Pilchard took over in goal. Pilchard had one save. A number of junior varsity players got the opportunity to compete in the varsity game and they played a good majority of the 60 minutes. “Overall I am very pleased with the inCoach Frostrom crease in knowledge and skill of our new players. With guidance from returning players, they have quickly developed a sense of unity and love of the game,” said Prep Coach Jenny Frostrom. “I feel like all of my players (varsity and JV) really work well together. They help and encourage each other. We make it our goal to learn and increase our skill together through hard practice and game experiences.” Tuesday’s game was much closer, but

the Mallards still won by five goals. Seniors, Alison Greer and captain Sarah Arrington, gave Worcester a 2-0 lead. Holly Grove scored in the final minutes of the first half. M. Lingo tallied two goals in the second half. Lindsay and senior Hannah Esham scored one apiece. Pilchard recorded four saves. Frostrom said she was proud of the level of play by the Mallards. Worcester’s defense, lead by seniors Maddy Stearns and Libby Truitt, played a tight game, Frostrom said. “They were right where they needed to be and worked the ball well back to the midfielders. It was hard to get through them,” Frostrom said. “Our midfielders, Jordie Loomis and Natalie Twilley, played an awesome game and newcomer, Isabel Carulli, was amazing in the midfield and is a true asset to our team. We have an incredible forward line– Sarah, Hannah, Alie, and Meg are excellent ball carriers and are very skilled inside the circle.” The Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres come to Berlin today, Friday, for a 4 p.m. game.

(Sept. 20, 2013) The Stephen Decatur golf team improved to 5-0 last Thursday, but the Washington Jaguars blemished the Seahawks’ clean record a few days later, winning Tuesday’s competition by four strokes. Decatur and Washington were joined by the six other Bayside Conference South squads and Worcester Prep, of the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference, at Eagle’s Landing Golf Course in Berlin on Sept. 12. The Seahawks took first place with a score of 157. Decatur was led by junior Danny Parker, who earned medalist honors for the lowest score of the day. Decatur Coach Jim Krall said he played outstanding. “He works very hard year round on his game, and it shows,” Krall said. Also contributing to the victory was senior captain Andrew Urban (38), junior Delaney Iacona (40) and freshman Matt Kristick (42). “What’s really neat is that each one of my top four golfers have been the medalist in at least one match thus far this year,” Krall said. “It’s a great feeling to know that on any given day it could be any member of the team that lights it up with a low round. The depth of talent this year is tremendous.” Washington finished in second place with a 172 and Worcester Prep was third (179). Prep Coach Kevin Gates said the Mallards face their toughest competition of the season when they play with the Bayside Conference teams. This was the second and final time the Prep squad will match up with the public schools this year. Senior captain Billy Brittingham carded a 40, sophomore Jason Cook tallied a 43 and junior Rylie Doyle and sophomore John Meakin recorded 46 and 50, respectively. “I would have loved to finish in first, but realistically, I was hoping for second, but we didn’t play well enough. Hopefully we’re going to improve the rest of the year,” Gates said. “Stephen Decatur is really good. Beating them is going to take a Herculean effort.” Washington ended Decatur’s fivematch win streak on Tuesday at the Bay Club in Berlin. The Jaguars won the nine-school competition with a 159.

Contributing to the Seahawks’ score was Urban, who shot an even par 36 to earn medalist honors, Iacona (40), junior Brooks Holloway (42) and Parker (45). Krall said the Jaguars played well and deserved the victory. “It was a monumental day for them to beat us, however, most things in life are learned through mistakes and

There will be times when a player has an off day, Krall said, and the Seahawks didn’t seem relaxed and “in the zone,” Tuesday. Krall said he felt they were rushing their shots and not focusing like they usually do. “I have the utmost confidence that this slight set back will result in a more focused and tenacious team that will not take any future matches for granted and give 100 percent on every shot,” Krall said.

SD Lady Seahawks top Indians LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) The Stephen Decatur volleyball team took down the Wi-Hi Lady Indians in three games, 25-14, 25-12 and 25-9, Monday in Salisbury. “The girls started off a little slow and flat footed. Once they got into a rhythm, they Coach Zimmer played well,” said Lady

Seahawks’ Coach Sarah Zimmer. “They were communicating and their passes were pretty good. I would have liked to see more kills, but the girls kept swinging, which was good.” Juniors Haley Trice and Kayla Heinz both had eight aces. Senior captain Taylor Black chipped in with five kills and six aces. Sammi Quilter, a senior, logged 11 digs and Kiley Cooke, also a senior, contributed with four kills. The Parkside Rams are scheduled to make a trip to Berlin Monday to take on the Seahawks at 5:30 p.m.

Worcester Prep Mallards log back-to-back victories this week Boys’ soccer squad takes down Delmarva Christian 7-2, tops HG Eagles 4-1 LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team earned back-to-back wins this week, outscoring the Delmarva Christian Royals 7-2, then the Holly Grove Eagles 4-1 the next day. The Royals traveled to Berlin Monday to take on the Mallards. Senior captain Ryan Nally put Worcester on the board about a T. Underkoffler minute and a half into the game. J.B. Loomis, a senior captain, netted two shots to give the home team a three-goal cushion. Midway into the half, freshman Aria ZiaShakeri scored to make it 4-0. About five minutes before the halftime break, freshman Tate Shockley increased Worcester’s advantage to five. Shockley assisted Loomis’ third goal, 30 seconds into the second half. “J.B. Loomis was really on fire,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said.

“He’s been working hard up top, most of it creating chances for others. He hasn’t been getting a lot of shots on goal, but he’s been setting up a lot of people. [Monday] he really finished his chances.” Freshman Owen Nally tallied the Mallards’ final goal with 28 minutes remaining in the contest. The Royals scored with 13:46 left on the clock and capitalized on a breakaway at the six-minute mark. Worcester sophomore goalie Charlie Pritchard stopped four Royals’ shots. “They possessed well. That’s our goal… to be able to hang onto the ball, combine with it, and we did that well,” Underkoffler said. “The tough part about games like this, when you get up on a team that much that early, it’s hard to keep their focus. It’s hard to keep that same drive going to goal…because the result is no longer in question.” On Tuesday, the Mallards took a trip to Westover, Md. to face the Eagles and came home with a 4-1 win. Sophomore Elio Telo scored four minutes into the contest (R. Nally assist). At the nine-minute mark, Nally capitalized on a pass from his brother, Owen. Two minutes later, senior captain Chris Klug gave Worcester its third goal. The team led 3-1 at halftime.

SD Seahawks make adjustments, win 6-0 over Warriors LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) The Stephen Decatur girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team had some difficulty in the beginning of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game playing on the Mardela Warriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field, which is shorter than the Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but they made adjustments and came away with a 6-0 shutout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing our best soccer, but we picked it up a little bit in the second half,â&#x20AC;? said Decatur Coach Misty Bunting. Center midfielder, junior Jillian Petito, scored twice in the first half to give Decatur a 2-0 lead going into the break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We struggled a little bit with the size of the field. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smaller, so it was harder for us to play the through balls (to the forwards) behind the defense to space because of the length of the field,â&#x20AC;? Bunting said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no space [Monday]. We changed our game up a bit and adjusted our formation.â&#x20AC;? Senior captain Rebecca Lederman netted two goals in the second half to boost the Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advantage to 4-0. Kayla Alcantar, a junior, recorded the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth goal. Lederman scored on a breakaway to finish the competition with a hat trick. The Decatur defensive line, which consists of senior captain Rebecca Haskell, sophomore Lexi McDonough and juniors Allyson Beck and Jenna Leitgeb, was solid, Bunting said. The Warriors struggled to get off quality shots on goal. Sophomore goalie Alexis Gausepohl was never challenged in the first half. Freshman Rachel Florek made one save in the second half. The Seahawks will host the James M. Bennett Clippers on Monday. Game time is 5:30 p.m.

Possession game key to Worcesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victories this week Senior Jack Marshall netted the Mallardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth goal about 10 minutes into the second half. Pritchard recorded three saves in the first half. Senior Isiah Nsah made three saves in the second half. Underkoffler said the boys played well despite some rough field conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our possession game was on. We were patient in the attack and worked the ball wide when it was open,â&#x20AC;? Underkoffler said. Worcester will have an away game today, Friday, against the Salisbury Christian Jaguars.

Decatur cross country teams earn first-place honors during Sept. 11 season opener in Sby. LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) The Stephen Decatur boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cross country teams earned first-place honors during the Sept. 11 season opener in Salisbury. Five schools participated. The Lady Seahawks finished with 33 points. Mardela placed second with 55 points and Parkside was third (71). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls did OK. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely got to improve and get more runners up top,â&#x20AC;? said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to push themselves. I think running against stronger competition will help.â&#x20AC;? Senior Alex Tushup was the first De-

catur runner to cross the finish line (24:29). She finished third overall out of the 40 female athletes who competed. Also scoring points for the Seahawks and contributing to the victory were senior Katie Collins (25:57, sixth), junior Meya Chilengi (26:05, seventh), sophomore Alison Alvarado (26:25, eighth) and junior Jordan Klebe (26:33, ninth). â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good that we had so many (running) close together,â&#x20AC;? Stigler said of the top five Decatur athletes finishing third, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth. The Decatur boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team scored 27 points. Parkside placed second with 46

points and Mardela finished in third (81). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we did pretty well for the most part,â&#x20AC;? Stigler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s places where we need to improve.â&#x20AC;? The No. 1 Seahawk finisher was junior Jake Gaddis. He completed the race in 19:54, just four seconds behind Parksideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alex Sterling. Forty-six boys participated. Rounding out the top five Decatur finishers were seniors Kevin Herbert (20:58, fourth), John Niedfeldt (21:12, fifth) and Jake Eisenman (21:43, seventh) and freshman Cameron James (21:58, ninth). The next cross country meet is scheduled for Wednesday in Cambridge.

Decatur field hockey team shuts out North Dorchester 11-0 LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) The Lady Seahawks gave it their all during last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against perennial powerhouse, the Pocomoke Warriors, and although Stephen Decatur lost 3-1, Coach Michelle Fluty was pleased with the performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Pocomoke is] still a very good team but they are not as strong as they were last year. They lost a strong core group to graduation,â&#x20AC;? Fluty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, I was proud of the effort we put forth and I know the girls were proud of themselves as well. If we can continue to fix the little things, I think we will have a successful season ahead of us.â&#x20AC;? The Warriors scored first, but Decatur senior Cassidy Remmell answered, netting a pass from sophomore Hannah FauntLeRoy. Pocomoke tallied a second goal and went into halftime ahead 2-1. The visiting team logged its third goal late in the second half. Decatur senior goalie Abby Friedman had three saves in the first half. Sophomore Sophia Clemente stopped four Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shots in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took many more shots then we did last game, but now we just need to work on increasing our accuracy and quality of shots,â&#x20AC;?

LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) The Stephen Decatur and Mardela boys’ soccer teams battled in Mardela Springs on Tuesday, but it was the visiting Seahawks who came out on top 2-0 over the Warriors. The Decatur offense worked the ball and finally capitalized when freshman Alton Walker scored about two minutes before halftime. “The ball was in our (offensive) end most of the first half. We were controlling possession in the first half,” Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood said. “We moved the ball well. A lot of the things we’ve been working on in practice we executed.” Greenwood said the Seahawks started the second half playing at a high level and they dominated possession, but then fatigue set in and the boys got sloppy. Senior Zak Hoshino netted an insurance goal with about 10 minutes re-

maining in the competition and Decatur held on for the win. ‘He worked really hard and he played well,” Greenwood said of Hoshino. “He created a lot of opportunities. He was probably the MVP of the game.” Decatur goalie Logan Thumma, a senior, stopped seven Mardela shots. “It was a rough, very physical game and the boys kept their composure. It prepares us well for our game Friday against Queen Anne’s,” Greenwood said. The Seahawks will head to Queen Anne’s County today for a battle with the Lions. “It will be a tough test.

Seahawks fight and claw, but Lions come out on winning end Decatur trails Queen Anne’s 14-0 at halftime, ties score, but falls 21-14 LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) The Stephen Decatur and Queen Anne’s football teams brawled last Friday in Berlin, but it was the visiting Lions who pulled out a 21-41 victory at Seahawk Stadium. Queen Anne’s scored with about two minutes left in the first quarter to lead 60. The Lions increased their advantage to 14 points with a touchdown and twopoint conversion five minutes before halftime. Decatur Coach Bob Knox said the team discussed key factors during the break to be successful in the second half. “No. 1, we have to be discipline, No. 2, we have to take care of the ball, No. 3, we have to play every play like it’s your last play and No. 4 you’ve got to be physical,” he said. ‘We did all those things in the second half.” Decatur junior quarterback Justin Meekins held onto the ball, carrying it 12 yards for a touchdown at the 7:27 mark in the third quarter. Junior kicker Austin Dundore’s extra-point attempt was short.

With 53 seconds remaining in the quarter, senior P.J. Copes scored from the 1-yard line. He was successful on the two-point conversion and the match was even, 14-14. The Lions scored with seven minutes left in the contest to pull ahead 21-14. Decatur had control of the ball late in the game. With less than two minutes on the clock, when Meekins was sprinting down the field, the ball got loose. Queen Anne’s recovered it. “We lost the first half 14-0 and we won the second half 14-7. If we played as well in the first half as we did in the second we would have won the game,” said Decatur Coach Bob Knox. The game, he said, came down to turnovers. “I’m not down on these kids. Like I said [during preseason], these kids will fight, claw and do whatever it takes and they proved that again,” Knox said. “They didn’t quit.” Copes, who suffered a shoulder injury during the game, led the Decatur offense with 18 carries for 85 yards. Meekins ran the ball five times, racking up 25 yards. He was 10-for-13 throwing, for 103 yards. Junior Shawny’e Jones had three catches for 48 yards. Senior Chase Sams controlled the Decatur defensive end, tallying 13 tackles. Decatur was scheduled to play Cambridge South Dorchester Thursday.

Hammer was pleased with her players’ performance despite the team falling to the Eagles 25-21, 25-14 and 25-19. “Everyone [was] playing together as a team,” she said. “Even though the scores for each game were not as close as Monday’s game, the girls played well and continued to fight for each point.” Prep freshman Karlie Southcomb logged two aces, two digs and five kills. Junior Cecily Sass had two aces, one dig, four assists and a block. Wolpin chipped in with three kills, three assists and three digs. “Bethany inspired her teammates [Tuesday], as she played the match with an injury” and she continued to dig and play to help the team, Hammer said. Worcester is scheduled for a match against the Salisbury Christian Jaguars today, Friday, in Salisbury.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2013

Development Council needs its numbers Berlin’s representative on the Local Development Council, which distributes the local share of Ocean Downs’ slot machine gambling proceeds, made a good point this week when she asked for an accounting of how recipient governments were spending their money. Cam Bunting, a Berlin Realtor, has asked before for the breakdown, but has yet to receive any information except from the Town of Berlin itself. Her request is more than reasonable considering two things: One, the state law permitting gambling stipulates how the money may be spent and the development council should be monitoring that, considering that no one else would be likely to do it. Two, all this is public information anyway, so point number one doesn’t matter. Any citizen can, or should be able to, obtain the figures simply by asking or via the state’s Public Information Act. It should not have to come to that, but the development council does need to know where the money is going if only to protect itself from allegations of some sort of collusion should it be discovered that governments are dumping the money in their general funds rather than designating it for the uses that the General Assembly intended. In other words, the council is in the position to protect the local share of gambling proceeds by proving its impact should some legislative shenanigans ensue during difficult economic times. Given how state lottery proceeds, which were originally designated for education funding, were later put to other uses, it is not too difficult to imagine a time when the state decides to raid the local kitty on the premise that gambling’s impact is not what it was thought to be. Representing the entire county as it does, the council would be in the best position to defend against that, providing it has the numbers to back up its argument.

By Stewart Dobson My name is Rick Perry And life is so merry Deep in the heart of Texas We don’t pay no taxes, And them’s is the factses And it’s why all our schools Are just wreckses.

Okay, not all the schools are wrecks in Texas and specifically not the one in a particular Houston suburb where my sister-in-law teaches, because I’m not that stupid. But you have to say something bad about the

state after its Gov. Rick Perry comes out in a television commercial trying to poach our businesses. For those who haven’t seen it, there’s Perry advising businesses in the Old Line State to move on down to Texas if they don’t like the taxes up here. Great, thanks, Rick. I hope you get busted for smoking some bad brisket. The thing is, I can’t recall ever seeing the governor of one state publicly exhorting residents and companies in another to leave and join him. Some may very well move, but they should realize that Texans have some peculiar ways. This includes, but is not limited to, sucking the heads of crawfish. I’m not sure about this, but I’m guessing if the wages were a little higher there, people could buy the whole crawfish. And here’s something else to consider. Port Arthur, Texas is the only governmental jurisdiction in that whole state to have a law that says, “Obnoxious odors may not be emitted while in an elevator.” Accepting that the people of Port Arthur are leading edge types, we can only assume that the rest of the state must have a real problem and therefore is not worth the risk, should anyone be considering relocating. And finally, if anyone is actually contemplating a move, remember, Texas may have two pro football teams, but one of them is the Cowboys.

Local eighth graders help plant trees as part of stream initiative CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Around 80 Snow Hill Middle School eighth graders spent last Thursday getting their hands dirty by planting 40 trees behind the school to improve stream health and to revitalize forests. The project to restore headwaters feeding into the Chesapeake Bay will continue throughout the school year, the school’s coordinator of instruction, Joshua Fradel, said, and it’s goals are twofold: “put a substantial addition to the stream buffer… as well as help the students learn about the process where humans interact with their watershed.” While the eighth graders have been reading about the environment in class, the project is multifaceted when it comes to the classroom. Math students plotted the trees by calculating the distance needed between each based on overhang and Worcester Technical High School students used power equipment to the drill holes for the trees, Instructional Coordinator for Science at Snow Hill Middle School Marlyn Barrett said. “We’ve been working on combining service learning and environmental outdoor education … together for several years,” Barrett said. “This is sort of a culmination of our first really large project.” The Snow Hill project is part of Gov. Martin O’Malley’s Stream Restoration and Forest Revitalization Challenge and the school won a $50,000 grant to from the state last spring to do it. Students will tackle several sites over five acres this fall, the largest being Five Mile Branch behind the Board of Education building, Barrett said. Snow Hill is one of a handful of schools in the state to win a Stream Restoration

Permit signed for Bishopville Pond NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) The seemingly neverbeginning Bishopville Pond project “is finally getting closer” to reality, the Worcester County Commissioners were told Tuesday. “We got a copy of the permit from the Army Corps of Engineers,” Ed Tudor, director of the Department of Development Review and Permitting, said. The permit authorizes the removal of the existing dam and the restoration of the stream and pond area. Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners, signed the permit acknowledging and agreeing to its various conditions, which will be the full See PLANS on Page 46A

and Forest Revitalization Challenge grant, which mostly went to larger city and county governments and parks and recreations departments, Fradel said. Part of its appeal was the Five Mile Branch site, identified as a critical watershed that drains into the Pocomoke River. The eighth graders will be out again almost every Friday over the next month, fixing native plants in different sites, including Pocomoke River State Park. They’ll take to the field again in the spring, and possibly beyond, to keep up the project, Fradel said. “We should be able to apply again to get another” grant, he said. “They’ve (state officials) asked us to participate on an ongoing basis.”

Plans to remove dam and restore stream years in the making responsibility of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Maryland Coastal Bays Program. “Yesterday was one big step,” said Roman Jesien, science coordinator for the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, which is coordinating the project in cooperation with the funding agencies, the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, on Wednesday. “The county signed off on it. We’re pleased with that.” The project will improve water quality

and facilitate fish passage. It will also lower the steel cofferdam and create a stable stream channel and wetland habitat. It will have no effect on the existing tidal wetland delineation and will not expand the Critical Area boundary. The pond, usually about five acres in size, will be reduced to about three acres. Currently, the pond is looking small. “We’ve had so little rain,” Jesien said. “The pond has lost a lot of water.” A series of step pools and rock weirs will be constructed from the tidal segment of Buntings Branch to the nontidal seg-

ment. A portion of the pond will remain upstream from the weirs and behind a sand berm constructed adjacent to the weirs. The stream will run beneath the bridge and into the pond and all metal sheeting will be removed from the dam, but the concrete foundation and boulders will remain and boulders have been added. The boulders have been stockpiled in readiness for the work, Jesien said, but “we are struggling with permits from the Department of the Environment. This issue is sediment control. We’re getting a lot of

very minor objections.” Those minor objections necessitate minor changes that come with reverberations, he said. “We have to change five, six, seven or eight pages [of documents] and then they come up with another minor change,” he said. “We’re all frustrated.” Discussion about this project began several years ago, but it kept getting delayed. One delay was the need to study whether proposed changes would have any detrimental effect on the bridge and road. Lack of funds also created a delay.

OC festival features food, music and crafts Four-day event opened Thursday and will continue through Sunday with activities for the entire family at inlet parking lot LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Sept. 20, 2013) Sunfest, Ocean City’s annual fall festival, which marks the end of a busy summer and the start of the long-awaited “second season,” kicked off Thursday and will continue through Sunday. The fourday festival offers food, arts and crafts, live entertainment and an assortment of family activities. In 2010 and 2011, Sunfest was rated the best Classic and Contemporary Arts and Crafts Show in the country by Sunshine Artist, “America’s Premiere Show and Festival Magazine.” The rankings are based on audit reports,

reader surveys and anecdotal reports from participating exhibitors. Last year, Sunfest was rated No. 2. The drop could have be the result of rain that fell on the 37th annual celebration in 2011. Overall attendance for the fourday 2011 festival was 154,507, a 7-percent decrease from the 2010 event. A few weeks ago it was announced that Sunfest was back on top in the No. 1 spot of the 100 Best Classic and Contemporary Craft Shows. Springfest, Ocean City’s spring festival in May, earned the fifth-place spot. “It’s nice to climb back to the top of the mountain. We take pride in the recognition we get from (being ranked),” said Tom Shuster, director of the Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department. “Vendors and [attendees] see a value in what we provide.…We try to make all groups feel welcome and part of the fun of Sunfest, and good weather always helps.”

Four days of ideal weather was a major factor in bringing large crowds to the inlet parking lot for the 38th annual Sunfest celebration last year. Sunfest experienced its biggest attendance since 2008, when it drew an estimated 194,385 visitors. Last year’s attendance was 185,016, an increase of more than 30,000 guests from 2011, when rain dampened part of the festival. Valerie Lynch-Beaudin and her Onóra Island Treasure Boxes company, based in Panama City, Fla., made their Sunfest debut last year. She and her husband handcraft Celtic Treasure Boxes. “Sunfest is now our No. 1 show in regards to total sales,” she said after the 2012 event. “Weather was great, we had a good time, met some wonderful folks and made some money…” Lucy Wirsching of Pasadena, Md. was also a first-time See VENDORS on Page 2B

Vendors will offer everything from food to crafts Sunfest vendor last year. She thought the venue was a perfect match for her one-ofa-kind driftwood sailboats. “I can’t believe that I have been missing out on a great festival. The music was fantastic, the food was great and the crowd was outstanding,” she said after the 2012 festival. “The show was a huge success ... I must say that it was the most organized show I have participated in.” The 39th annual Sunfest was scheduled to kick off Thursday with a Boardwalk parade and opening ceremony. More than 180 arts and crafts vendors will fill two tents with items such as pottery, ceramics, carvings, jewelry, fine art, photography, paintings, candles and scents, soaps, dolls, pet products, clothing and apparel, home and garden items, woodwork and metal ware. About a dozen artists will again demonstrate their skills in the midway section of the festival grounds. Approximately two-dozen food vendors will offer unique dishes as well as America favorites. Visitors can sample Asian, Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, seafood, salads, hot dogs, hamburgers, pit-cooked ham, pizza, chicken, crab cakes and ribs. For the sweet tooth, there will be ice cream, hot apple buns, funnel cakes and cookies.

“Our food tent is always eclectic in its tastes and offerings,” Shuster said. Gourmet vendors selling coffees, fudge, nuts, candies, soup, dips and pastry items, and commercial vendors will be located in the midway section of Sunfest. This year’s musical entertainment will range from country to rock ‘n’ roll and jazz. Admission is free, although tickets are required for the main stage headlining acts. “I’m particularly happy with the entertainment line-up this year,” Shuster said. Tonight, Friday, country musicians Kip Moore and Kacey Musgraves will take the stage. Tickets range from $20 to $55. Tickets will be sold on site at the festival grounds. The Beach Boys will entertain a soldout crowd on Saturday. Tickets for the concert were all bought up by the end of May, the earliest Shuster said he can remember tickets selling out for a Sunfest show. The shows will begin at 8 p.m. Sunfest is for all ages. Children may take part in an assortment of activities, including Xtreme Events’ interactive inflatables on the beach, a rock-climbing wall, sand art, temporary henna tattoos and face painting. “September is always a special time in Ocean City. We think Sunfest is one of the best reasons to visit Ocean City in September,” Shuster said. “We’re hoping for

another great turnout.” Sunfest hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., today and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Parking is restricted at Sunfest. Visitors are urged to use one of the park-andride locations and take the bus to the festival grounds. The Boardwalk tram will also offer service daily. For more information, call 410-2500125 or 1-800-626-2326 or visit www.ococean.com. Park Place Jewelers will present its fourth annual Treasure Hunt at the Beach on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. Those 18 and older who are interested in digging for treasure must register in advance at Park Place Jewelers on the Boardwalk between Second and Third streets or at the West Ocean City store in the White Marlin Mall. Participants will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, and space is limited to 120 for each hunt. A $15 donation from each participant will benefit the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation. There are three resort facilities — Ocean City at 28th and 66th streets and in Fenwick Island, Del. — that provide ill children and their families a chance to vacation at the beach, during a time when they might not otherwise be able to afford a getaway on the coast.

More than 300 vendors selling merchandise, food during Sunfest

CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) The 39th annual Sunfest kicked off yesterday and continues through Sunday evening with food, arts and crafts, hayrides, children’s activities and live music at the inlet parking lot. Admission is free to the event, where more than 300 vendors will be selling wares from pottery, paintings and wirewrapped jewelry to Philly cheesesteak and the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary’s famous oyster fritters. In all, there will be 186 arts and craft vendors, 50 commercial Midway vendors, 12 pre-packaged food vendors, 26 food stalls and 12 demonstrating artists, Special Event Coordinator for the Town of Ocean City Brenda Moore said. “We’ve got a little but of everything,” she said. “It’s a quality show. I think it’s the best show,” said Benny Zhang of Celestial Gardens, who will be demonstrating his bonsai techniques at Sunfest. He’s been coming to festival the past six years and said the “quality of the vendors and craftsmanship” makes the show stand out. Each year, the Brandywine, Md.based artist brings a new style of bonsai to the show, from four-inch trees to 30year-old living works of art. Henry Duquette of Wild Fire Glass, based in Somerset, Mass., agreed: Sunfest is “one of our best shows.” “It’s extremely well-done. The promoters do an incredible job. All shows should be based on Sunfest,” he said. Duquette will be displaying his fused glass and fancy metal pendants under the demonstrators’ tent. In all, the festival draws about 20 percent new vendors each year, mixed with staples, who have returned year

after year, Moore said. “We definitely have a fan base who do come every year, and they let us know what they do and don’t like,” she said. The Ocean City-Berlin Maryland Optimist Club has been with the show since it’s beginnings, the club’s Sunfest Chairperson Ron Kupec said. Over the years, the group has raised more than $1 million in scholarships for local high school students and the Ocean City and Ocean Pines recreation departments, among other groups, and Sunfest is one of its major fundraisers, he said. Look for the Optimist Club’s famed crab cakes, flounder sandwiches and shrimp baskets. New this year is its seafood bisque, and “people are loving it,” Kupec said.

Sunfest provides, “great entertainment, a great variety of food at a decent price and just a good time,” said the 22year Sunfest veteran. “Its at the ocean, of course, so you’ve got a beautiful view, along with some great vendors.” Sunfest began as a “second season” event in 1974, when business had slowed down in the resort town, Moore said. “Somewhere along the line, the town starting helping, and eventually took it over,” she said. “It grows a little every year.” Last year, 185,016 people attended the event. “Families bring their children and grandchildren and it’s become a tradition for a lot of them,” Moore said. This year’s Sunfest continues the tradition of offering activates for the whole family.

Colorful kites will fill Ocean City sky this wknd. Competitions, workshops, relays and games planned during 36th annual festival CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Thousands of spectators and kite-flyers will gather in Ocean City this weekend for the 36th annual Sunfest Kite Festival, five days of kite competitions, relays, games, workshops and other free activities on the beach. Kite Fest started with just a few flyers, but now draws up to 200 kite-flyers and thousands of spectators each year, said Kite Loft owner Jay Knerr. The Kite Loft hosts the event on the beach each year. He expects a good showing again this weekend with weather forecasts showing nice beach winds. “The sky should be filled with color,” he said. Today’s events kick off at 10 a.m. with the “Mega Mass Ascension” of kites at the beach between Third and Sixth streets. Everyone is invited to fly a kite or watch the event as the kites fly up in unison. At 2:30 p.m., there will be a candy drop on the beach, giving children a chance to scramble for wrapped candy dropped from a kite flying above.

All day, the Kite Loft, located on the Boardwalk at Fifth Street, will offer free sport kite lessons on the beach, teaching techniques for maneuvering two- and four-string kites. There will also be demos and a Giant Kite Air Show throughout the day. “We invite certain people down who make large, showpiece-type of kites— kites that most people wouldn’t even imagine could fly,” Knerr said. Keep an eye out for giant whales and fish in the

sky, among other unusual designs, he said. Saturday, another mass ascension launches at 10 a.m. on the beach, followed by the Running of the Bols at noon. In that event, children of different age groups are harnesses to bols — wind turbines — and make a mad dash down the beach against the wind. “They’re running at full speed, but it looks like they’re running in slow motion,” Knerr said. “It’s very comical” to watch and a favorite among spectators. Another candy drop launches at 12:30 p.m. and at 1 p.m., the Kite Loft will give away kites to the first 100 youth ages 512 to visit. Boardwalk dancing starts in front of the store on the seawall at 2:30 p.m., and though the event doesn’t involve kites, it’s fun, Knerr said. Later that day, the Ron Young Memorial Flight takes off. “Ron Young was an active participant in this event for many, many years. He was also a kite-maker and a good friend to a lot of people,” Knerr said. Participants will fly kites made by Young in his memory, though anyone is invited to participate. At 4 p.m., the winner of the Sunfest Choice is announced. Several kite-makers bring their works to display in the skies, and the winner is chosen by randomly polling people on the Boardwalk

ENTERTAINMENT:

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might need to get more facts to help you work out those problems with your new project. As always, a friendly approach shows the charming Arian at his or her persuasive best. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Information is what energizes ambition, and this is a good time for the ambitious Bovine to expand his or her range of knowledge and to be ready for the challenges that lie ahead. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good time to consider making some long-overdue decorating changes at home or in your workplace. A splash of color can help raise spirits, even on the grayest day. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Learn more. Earn more. That’s the formula for Moon Children looking to expand their career horizons. Investigate the best places to get those training courses you’ll need. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your creative side helps gain attention for many of your ideas. But don’t neglect the practical aspects involved in implementing their move from paper to production. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A health problem should not be ignored. The sooner you check it out, the sooner you can deal with it and then move on. Some job advice comes from an unlikely source. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A relationship takes an unexpected shift that could leave you puzzled and hurt. Asking for an explanation could help uncover the reason for this sudden turn of events. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your busy schedule has drawn down much of your energy levels. Restore them by spending a wellearned time out enjoying the arts — perhaps with that special someone. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Make that presentation with confidence. Remember: When you show you believe in yourself, it helps persuade others that you truly know what you’re doing. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although you usually prefer doing things on your own, a group effort might be advisable at this time. Try to keep an open mind about suggestions from colleagues. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This could be a good time to reassess some of your recent decisions and see if any adjustments should be made based on facts that you might have just uncovered. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An emotionally charged situation creates uncertainty about the future of your relationship. Best advice: Talk things out while there’s still time to reach a new understanding. BORN THIS WEEK: You tend to act on matters of principle despite what others might advise.

Kayakers travel from Baltimore to Ocean City

Kite Festival events include candy drop, bol race and lessons on their favorite kite. He or she will take home a gift certificate to a local business as a prize. A night kite fly starts at 8:30 p.m. Saturday on the beach. All day, the Kite Loft will offer free sport kite lessons on the beach and there will be demos and a Giant Kite Air Show. Sunday, the final mass ascension launches at 10 a.m. At 11 a.m., a Rokk Battle ensues. In the competition, teams try to knock each other’s kites from the sky either by cutting their lines or forcing them onto the grounds in a three-heat challenge. It’s “a great spectator event,” Knerr said. There will be demos and a Giant Kite Air Show throughout the day, ending around 4 p.m. All Kite Festival events are free and no experience is required. Some participants come year after year, others have never flown a kite and many come just to watch the events, Knerr said. “We just really want to encourage everyone to come out and fly a kite,” he said. Look for sales at the Kite Loft throughout the weekend, with kites starting from $10. Continued from Page 4B

Group paddles in memory of pal ‘Scunny’ McCusker CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Six kayakers, an empty kayak in tow, landed at Macky’s Bayside in Ocean City last Saturday, marking the end of a 175-mile paddle to memorialize a friend. The members of the Scunny Memorial Paddle made the trek from Baltimore to Ocean City in memory of Patrick “Scunny” McCusker, raising nearly $50,000 for Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation, one of his favorite charities, along the way. “It was an awesome, awesome feeling of accomplishment,” friend of McCusker and paddler “Delaware” Dave Powell said, and “it was a little sad.” McCusker died in a bike accident in Ocean City last summer, Believe In Tomorrow Special Events Associate Kate Sachs said. An owner of two Baltimore bars, he brought the six bartenders together in his passing. Powell, Jason Mislan, Jeff Mason,

The Scunny Memorial Paddle team stands with Believe in Tomorrow staff at Macky’s Bayside on 54th Street Saturday, where the group ended a 175-mile, five-day kayak trip from Baltimore to Ocean City. The team raised almost $50,000 for Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation while paddling in memory of friend Patrick “Scunny” McCusker.

Beth Roche, Joe Wandishin and Stephen Twilley followed the route McCusker first paddled in 2006 during his inaugural kayak trip for Believe In Tomorrow. The Baltimore bartending team trained for weeks leading up to the trip, putting in dozens of hours on the water. They also spent many hours raising money for Believe In Tomorrow, a national nonprofit that provides housing

for critically ill children and their families and a charity McCusker strongly supported. “He was a very charitable guy,” Sachs said. “He was probably one of our biggest supporters.” Through happy hours, guest bartending events and online fundraising, the team raised around $40,000 before leaving and almost $7,000 more during their five-day trip.

Jazz up hot dogs by wrapping in bacon, stuff with sauerkraut FOOD FOR THOUGHT

To top it all off, deep fry frankfurters until crispy DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Hot dogs, hot dogs, get your hot dogs here! These words have echoed throughout stadiums across the country for generations. But times have changed and food savvy sports fans have a much more sophisticated palette. While traditional favorites still hit high scores, innovative dishes are setting the pace for which stadium has the best food. Before we delve into the menu, a little history spices up the world-renown dog. Historians believe the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first sausages were created in 64 A.D., when Emperor Nero Claudius Caesarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cook, Gaius, filled pig intestines with ground meat in a moment of culinary creativeness. In the 15th century, the city of Frankfurt produced a spiced, smoked sausage known as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;frankfurter.â&#x20AC;? Throughout the 19th century, the popularity of the frankfurter grew and would make its way to the United States by way of European im-

migrants. The hot dog, considered a quintessential American food has even been launched into space via Apollo moon flights and Skylab missions. Pretty impressive for such a simple snack. Now we can get to the meat of the article. If you adore beef you might want to check out the whopping hamburger served at the Nationals Park, home of the Washington Nationals. An 8-pound burger named after their star pitcher, Stephen Strasburg, goes for $59. Big, bold and bodacious is the only way to describe this bad boy. While we are on the subject of gigantic, check this out: baseball fans at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington can feast on a two-foot Boomstick dog. This monster weighs 3 pounds and is fully loaded with shredded cheese, chili, sautĂŠed onions and jalapenos. Better have lots of cash because it goes for $26. If you relish sausages, then fill your tank and head to Joseph Riley Park in South Carolina. The Charleston RiverDogs, Class A affiliate of the New York Yankees, serves an exotic trio of

Calorie counting not an option when indulging in this fried treat FOOD FOR THOUGHT sausages. But these are not traditional sausages adorned with peppers and onions. Duck sausages with plum sauce, venison sausages accompanied with citrus chipotle barbeque sauce and alligator sausages topped with remoulade brings new meaning to the word “innovative.” For those who have a bottomless pit, hop onto an airplane and inform the captain that Minute Maid Park in Houston is your destination. For an additional $30, you can reserve a seat at the mezzanine and pig out on the “Homewrecker.” The All-You-Can-Eat special includes chili dogs, sliders, wings, BBQ beef sandwiches, stacked baked potatoes, and “Texas Most Wanted” dogs. For those with a sweet tooth and a stomach of steel, some stadiums are sporting a Krispy Kreme Burger. A beef patty covered in cheese, two strips of bacon and placed between a split Krispy Kreme donut is a killer! The list could go on for and on but a few other mouthwatering dishes worth

mentioning are “old-fashioned” milkshakes, sushi, Peking Duck, lasagna Bolognese, and even gluten-free options. If you are in the mood for a hot dog and want to jazz up the recipe, how about a frankfurter wrapped in bacon, stuffed with sauerkraut, and deep-fried until crispy. Calorie counting is not an option – all diets are meant to be broken once in a while. Fried, stuffed hot dogs are perfect munching while rooting for your favorite team. INGREDIENTS canola oil for frying 6 large bun size hot dogs 6 slices of bacon 6 ounces of sauerkraut (drained) 6 hot dogs (lightly toasted) 12 toothpicks (soaked in water for 5 minutes) 1. Preheat oil to 360 degrees. 2. In the meantime, split the hot dogs in half lengthwise, not cutting them all the way. Fill the inside with sauerkraut. Lay out a slice of bacon and make sure it is flat. At the end the hot dog, secure the end of the slice of bacon with a toothpick. Wrap the bacon around the entire hot

dog, securing the other end with another toothpick. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs. Very carefully place on hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd or the temperature of the oil will drop and hinder the crisping process. Remove and place on

cooling rack. Take out the toothpicks. Place the hot dogs in the buns and top with favorite condiments. SECRET INGREDIENT: Extravagance Extravagance is the luxury of the poor; penury is the luxury of the rich. – Oscar Wilde

The story is based on the Lamotheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real life experiences encompassed by her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease through a modern day interpretation of a fable hundreds, if not thousands, of years old. Lamotheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to hopefully bring awareness of the disease to the audience. The films proceeds will be donated to The Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association. An Indiegogo Campaign will be launched to raise funding for the project. Some of Lamotheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards include Best Family Short for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rosieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracleâ&#x20AC;? in 2009 at the New York Independent Film Festival and Best Director in 2010 at the World Music International Film

Festival in Washington D.C. Another one of Lamotheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s films, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reunion,â&#x20AC;? won Best Family Short at the New York Independent Film Festival in April 2011 and Best Sound at the World Music International Festival in D.C. in which Lamothe also won Best Actress for her role in the film. The film was nominated for eight awards overall. Lamothe received another award for Best Director for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reunionâ&#x20AC;? in the Spring 2012 at the Hot Media Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reunionâ&#x20AC;? also received Best Screenplay. Lamotheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most current film â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charityâ&#x20AC;? was awarded Best Drama, Best Screenplay and she was the recipient of Best Actress at the Hot Media Film Festival 2013.

Ocean City Beach Patrol’s final day on duty Sunday, Sept. 22 ON GUARD

Lifeguards will return to stands Memorial Day ‘14 KRISTIN JOSON Contributing Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) As you take a walk along the beach next week you won’t see the familiar white lifeguard stands. The beach patrol will officially end the 2013 guarding season this Sunday, Sept 22. During our guarding season, Surf Rescue Technicians are in stands and fulfill all three parts of our mission (education, prevention and intervention) on a daily basis between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. After this Sunfest weekend, the lifeguard stands will be removed from the beach and we will no longer position SRTs along Ocean City’s beaches until May 2014. At this time of year it is important for people to realize that the beach patrol is off duty and they should not participate in water related activities until the beach patrol is back on duty next Memorial Day weekend. We realize that in spite of our warnings, a warm sunny day, even in October, will tempt some people to make the very poor decision to venture into the ocean. Please heed our warnings. The same rip current hazards that exist during our season, when we are making hundreds of rescues, are still

present now and could possibly even be more treacherous due to tropical storm activity that is typical for this time each year. The ocean is no less dangerous than it was in late August and September. Despite a mild tropic storm season so far, we have still experienced an increase in wave action and surf in recent weeks. This resulted in a few rather busy days since Labor Day for the OCBP pulling people out of rip currents and making rescues under challenging circumstances with stands several blocks apart. Although we experienced no fatalities while we were on duty, we have made more than 200 rescues since Labor Day. Had some of these situations occurred when the beach patrol was not on duty there would have been multiple tragedies and families devastated by the loss. Starting Monday, the stands will be pulled off the beach and lifeguards will no longer report for duty. However we will maintain a minimum presence for a few weeks (through Columbus Day Monday) with a mobile Water Rescue Patrol. The Water Rescue Patrol is comprised of mobile rescue units. These mobile rescue units are first-aid and AED equipped and consist of one SRT (rider) acting as the primary rescue swimmer while the other

SRT (driver) maintains radio communication and backup during an emergency. Both are qualified as surf rescue technicians, medical first responders and are quad (ATV) certified. Although Ocean City Fire/EMS are ready and willing to respond to surf rescues (The OCBP has trained a group of Fire/EMS personnel as rescue swimmers), the beach patrol is the agency that is trained and equipped specifically for this mission. Having fully equipped mobile rescue response vehicles with a driver and a rescue swimmer already on the beach will save critical minutes should the need arise. The OCBP will be in response mode like the paramedics or police, with a small number of mobile rescue units deployed on the beach. Each unit will patrol three to four miles of beach and ocean. Typically, the nearest mobile rescue unit will respond to the “swimmer in trouble” call, forwarded by a 911 dispatcher. Having the mobile units out on the beach makes the OCBP one step closer if someone needs assistance. When a rescue is needed, the rescue swimmer initiates the intervention while the driver who is also a trained rescue swimmer maintains radio contact with the Ocean City Communications Center and acts as backup to the initial rescuer and requests additional resources should the situation require any (EMS, police, Coast Guard, etc.). Without the Water Rescue Patrol, a call to 911 would be answered in Snow Hill and

then be transferred to Ocean City Communications who would then dispatch the nearest available EMS unit and fire department personnel. Although Ocean City emergency response time is the fastest in the nation, during a drowning situation, where minutes count, this process may take tragically too long. The beach patrol’s response to this circumstance is to have Mobile Rescue Units already staffed on the beach. Having these units already on the beach and mobile effectively reduces the response time from original call to victim contact and will hopefully result in a successful intervention. It is important however that people not depend on these mobile rescue units as if they are lifeguards protecting their love ones. Without educating the public and actively preventing potential incidents the beach patrol is unable to fulfill its mission and work in a proactive manner, therefore we are in a reactionary mode and cannot provide the coverage that the public is accustomed to during our regular guarding season. We have seen too many times when swimming without lifeguards and poor judgment turns into a tragedy with the loss of a life. Our saying, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” is a friendly reminder of the very serious warning, to only swim when lifeguards are on duty.

Public safety first priority of OCBP ON GUARD Beach Patrol continues to be public safety. Therefore, we strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any beach or water related activities to times when beach patrol personnel are on duty, never swim alone, always stay with the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device. If you do see a swimmer in distress do not attempt to go in after them, or you may become an additional victim. Instead, immediately call 911, know the location of the incident, follow the victim along the beach and remain on the scene until rescue personnel arrive and identify yourself to them. If the person goes under the water before rescuers arrive, it is important to mark the last seen position of the victim with a landmark on the beach to aid the rescues with the search. If the person does manage to rescue himself or herself, please let the responding personnel know that they are safely on shore. We have seen too many cases where someone has tried to rescue a distressed swimmer and has drowned in the attempt. Especially tragic are the number of parents that have died in Ocean City while attempting to rescue their children who they have allowed to swim without lifeguards on duty. We at the beach patrol want to thank Ocean City Today for allowing us to have a weekly safety feature. The beach patrol’s

Continued from Page 16B

mission has three focuses: education, prevention, and intervention. Without a doubt the most obvious and the one that attracts the most attention is intervention when one of our guards blows a whistle, jumps off the stand, runs down the beach, and then swims out to rescue a swimmer in distress. Although this happens several thousand times each season it is not our major focus but rather it is prevention of accidents and injuries through our educational outreach efforts and programs that we make our number one priority. That is why each week we use this space to try and educate all of the readers of Ocean City Today. I truly believe that through the exposure in this newspaper that many lives have been saved and will continue to be saved because someone has read the article or passed on the information that they learned to others. So if you have enjoyed this column and have learned any new information about beach or water safety, not only pass it on to others but take the time to thank the editors of Ocean City Today. Have a safe fall and winter and we will see you Memorial Day Saturday 2014 when the beach patrol will return to duty. Each year people die in Ocean City because they chose to swim without lifeguards… Don’t let it be you or someone you love. However you remember it, swimming only when lifeguards are on duty could save a life… yours or someone you love!

My apologies to my more discombobulated readers, the likes of the males who tell me that they are really worried about their mental state, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beginning to make sense of my column. That was never in my plan but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. Best to let them think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve smartened up. Many, many thanks to the ever-soyoung Jive employee who surprised my son, Mike, when he introduced her to me and she answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, I know your mother, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read her column for years.â&#x20AC;? The look on his face was worth every hour that I had to spend with him in his teens when he was grounded. Too late for the folks who missed the Knights Aux bingo last week but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of time to buy tickets for the Emerald Isle, Irish Variety Show, at St.

Did I mention the cash bar for wine and beer? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Publicsâ&#x20AC;? are welcome. Tickets cost $25 and are available at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center office Monday to Friday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. What a great way to kick off the social season.

Last week, we showed up for an 11 a.m. eye appointment and were told that as a matter of convenience the office was taking its lunch break early due to an unexpected power outage throughout the area. ‘Tis true every downtown Selbyville store and area restaurant, including the Big Mac’ drive-thru, was closed down. A few days later, our morning Post was a no-show. I called and was told they had experienced a blackout and that all customers would get their undelivered papers with the next morning’s paper. All these years it took me to find out that an avid Redskin fan without access to his early morning sports column is similar to a ferocious tiger without his cage. And I thought Theda Bara’s dramatics were long gone when my teens hit their 20s. My shrink ‘s appointment book wuz the size of a tome when I dropped by. I’ll never forget that sarcastic scowl on his face when he suggested I go home, take two aspirins and leave town. CU IN OC TODAY

Abbey Burger Bistro brings B’more eatery to OC Variety of meat options to choose from, including bison, lamb and kangaroo CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) Abbey Burger Bistro in Baltimore’s Federal Hill neighborhood recently won “Best Burger in Baltimore” from the Baltimore City Paper readers. Now, diners can get those same award-winning burgers in Ocean City, where Abbey Burger opened its new joint June 28. “You won’t get anything like you get here,” owner Eric Leatherman said. “We’re all about quality.” Abbey Burger starts with beef from Roseda Beef farm in Monkton, a Maryland town north of Baltimore. The Black Angus meat is dry-aged for two weeks before it is brought to the restaurant to be freshly cut and ground in-house. “It’s incredible meat,” Leatherman said. Abbey Burger offers a range of other less-typical meats for its build-your-own

burger menu, from bison and lamb to camel, duck and kangaroo. “You’re not getting kangaroo anywhere else,” Leatherman said. “It’s just one of the cool things we do.” The restaurant also dishes up a popular “crab tots” dish, tater tots smothered in crab dip and waffle fry nachos, and features vegetarian options like a fried green tomato burger. As Abbey Burger tries to source its meat locally, it also brings in a host of local beers. Those are on special during happy hour every day, from 4-7 p.m., when domestic bottles cost $2, select drafts, rail drinks and house wines cost $3 and appetizers are half-price. Abbey Burger opened at its 126th Street location after the owners examined several other locations, Leatherman said. It took over the old Olive Tree building, an institution in Ocean City for more than 50 years. “I immediately was attracted to the brick façade. And that’s kind of our façade in Baltimore,” Leatherman said. Renovations before opening included knocking out some walls to open the space, building an outdoor deck and full bar and remodeling the dining room.

The Ocean City menu is almost identical to the menu of Baltimore’s Abbey Burger Bistro, except Ocean City offers a tuna burger to its diners. The prices also stayed the same — roughly $10 a burger. The only thing that is very different from Abbey Burger’s Baltimore location is the vibe, Leatherman said. The Ocean City restaurant has live music every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, an outdoor deck and a full-size bar. In the end, though, it all comes down to quality for Leatherman. “We could buy patties from Sysco all day long, but that’s not going to give us return business,” he said. “You’re always going to get quality food here, and that’s what brings people back.” The restaurant dishes up 600 pounds of Black Angus beef each week, if that’s any indicator. Abbey Burger Bistro on 126th Street bayside is open daily, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., and the kitchen stays open to 1 a.m. The restaurant plans to run the same hours throughout the winter, Leatherman said. Visit www.abbeyburgerbistro.com for a full Abbey Burger Bistro menu.

(Sept. 20, 2013) Executives at Real Hospitality Group recently announced it has been selected to manage the Dunes Manor Hotel and Dunes Motel in Ocean City. RHG was selected by Genesar, owner of the hotels, after an extensive search for a management company. RHG will work closely with the owner for the long-term planning of the assets and to execute strategies to capitalize on the recent extensive capital improvement program, completed earlier this year. The agreement includes the 170-room Dunes Manor Hotel, known for its Victorian-style setting, expansive deck and locally popular oceanfront dining, afternoon teas, and conference space for groups and events. RHG will also operate the Dunes Motel, a seasonal 111-room motel at the end of the Boardwalk with traditional guest rooms and efficiencies. “We are excited to add these properties to our portfolio and appreciate the commitment of Genesar to allow us to execute its vision for the hotels,” comments Ben Seidel, President Real Hospitality Group. Dunes Manor is a landmark hotel at the end of the Boardwalk at 28th Street, known for its unique exterior design, all oceanfront rooms and its history of personalized service and hands-on management by Genesar. The late Thelma C. Conner, founder of the Dunes properties, was locally known for her commitment to the community. She acted as the ultimate hostess for the afternoon teas at the Dunes Manor, the building of which was her lifelong dream. Genesar invested $3 million in guest room and hotel renovations which were completed in time for the 2013 season. “We feel that Real Hospitality Group shares our vision and is focused to help us achieve our objectives. With our investment in the hotel, we are looking to create See COMPANY on Page 3C

Households with income of $300K or less qualify LAUREN BUNTING Contributing Writer (Sept. 20, 2013) As reported by the Maryland Association of Realtors, the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) has increased the income eligibility for septic system grants. As of July 2013, households with income of $300,000 or less can qualify for grants paying 100 percent of the “Best Available Technology” (BAT) costs. This increase comes after the Jan. 1, 2013 implementation in the state of Maryland that requires almost all new construction and many property renovations to use BAT systems. A BAT system utilizes an enhanced nitrogen removal process that is more costly than traditional septic systems. Prior guidance from MDE limited grants paying 100 percent of BAT costs to households earning about $139,000 or less (the income criteria followed federal income tax brackets). Under the new cri-

New media coordinator a long term plan for the operation and the company going forward,” stated the president of Genesar, Inc. “Real Hospitality Group has a proven track record of performance that will bring immediate value to our important assets.” The general manager of the Dunes properties added, “We are looking forward to the partnership of RHG and the hotel management to deliver the results of our next phase of the facility.” Important to Thelma Conner was establishing a hotel where the guests feel they are at home and are accommodated with Eastern Shore hospitality. Today, the new generation of ownership, which includes her daughters, grandchildren and three very close friends, continues to move her vision forward. Genesar’s staff and dedicated employees have contributed to the success the business has known for more than 25 years. Beyond the renovations, Genesar is poised to look at the future, attracting new guests in addition to long-time loyal guests, and continuing to enhance the experience at the hotel while upholding the service, traditions and style for which it is known. RHG was selected after Genesar embarked on an 18-month search for a company that fit its style and vision. Critical to the success of the relationship has been the collective understanding of Genesar’s goals and objectives. RHG is committed to execute actions that capitalize on the trends in bookings, market the renovations and re-position the hotel in online channels. As a top national management company, the locally based RHG will be able to deploy resources and strategies with expertise fine-tuned in high demand markets. RHG has the ability to assign oversight to seasoned executives in the company with resort experience and local presence in the Ocean City market. Continued from Page 2C

teria, the income limits jump substantially. A household with income of $300,000 or less qualifies for a grant covering 100 percent of BAT costs for properties meeting grant eligibility (for example properties that largely have failing systems and are located in a Critical Area). Households with income exceeding $300,000 are eligible for grants covering 50 percent of the costs of BAT systems. Prior to this change, households with incomes exceeding $379,150 were eligible for grants covering only 25 percent of the costs of BAT systems. In addition, if funds are still available after allocating BAT funding to all applicants, the grant funds may also be provided for the repair or replacement of Non-BAT components (for example drainfields) for a “low-income” household applicant with a “failing” on-site sewage disposal system.
