COUNTYINKSTEACHERS’CONTRACTS New agreement will restore raises for a second time since 2009 Worcester County salary freeze ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) The Worcester County Board of Education signed its FY14 contracts with the Worcester County Teachers Association and the Worcester County Educational Support Personnel Association this week, finalizing the negotiated agreement to continue the

DROPPING IN

partial restoration of school staffers’ lost pay raises from the 2009-2012 wage freeze.

“After a very tense month, we came to a table agreement,” Assistant Superintendent for Administration Lou Taylor, who also serves as the administration’s chief negotiator, said at this week’s board meeting.

The ratified agreement will allow the schools to grant step-

scale pay raises, based on experience, to eligible staff. In Worcester County, teachers’ pay scales are divided into 16 steps, each equating roughly to one year of experience. After step 16, pay increases cease to be structured. For non-teacher sup-

port staff, a 12-step scale is used.

For staff beyond the stepscale, a 1.5 percent raise will be granted. The funding also allows for a 1 percent cost-of-living adjustment [COLA] for all employees in addition to their experience increase.

When the worldwide financial crisis hit at the end of 2008, local governments were already into the 2009 fiscal year’s budget, which began that July.

Burbage-owned property slated formedicalunits loses rezoning NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) A judge on Monday thwarted developer Jack Burbage’s proposal to build medical offices on Route 589, delivering a ruling so quickly that it surprised nearly everyone in the Snow Hill courtroom.

“Mere changes are not enough,” Judge Raymond Beck said as he announced the Worcester County Commissioners erred when they rezoned the 30.9acre property last year from agricultural to general commercial based on a change in the neighborhood. The property, located south of Ocean Pines, has been the site of a red produce stand for several years.

Changes to a neighborhood must be substantial or there must have been a mistake in the original zoning in 2009 in order for property to be rezoned.

Beck dismissed the notion of any mistake. “We’re not dealing with a matter of a mistake,” he said. “I find that there was no mistake.”

The commissioners, Beck said, relied on three points when they decided there had been a change in the neighborhood. Hugh Cropper IV, Burbage’s attorney, had presented those three points to the county commissioners, the Worcester County Planning Commission and again Monday in Circuit Court before Judge Beck.

Beck, a resident of Dorchester County, is a retired Carroll County Circuit Court judge, who continues to hear cases throughout the region.

Ocean City businessman Macky Stansell, one of the plaintiffs who lives near the property, said CropSee APPEAL on Page 5A

City harassment policy hints at fire department resolution ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) In a suspect case of policy being too broad to not be specific, the Ocean City Council this week passed a resolution adopting a new “Harassment-Free Workplace Policy,” which, while being relevant to the city’s entire workforce, was clearly directed at the ongoing tension in the Ocean City Fire Department.

The resolution to add the one-page anti-harassment policy to the employee manual was adopted by the elected body without discussion. Although he would not comment on whether the policy had been devised with the OCFD controversy in mind, City Manager David Recor said it “was aimed specifically at unacceptable and inappropriate behavior regarding protected classes and characteristics.”

“It’s an applicable policy organizationwide, which is why I asked the council to adopt it by resolution and have it included in the employee handbook,” Recor added.

The back-story to the ongoing tension in the OCFD, and in City Hall, was first confirmed to this newspaper in December of last year by a number of independent sources – all of whom wish to remain unattributed, due to the contentious nature of the matter.

However, the Town of Ocean City

has surrendered a union grievance as well as supporting correspondence, filed by the city’s chapter of the International Association of Fire Fighters against OCFD Chief Chris Larmore, which corroborates the events. Names of individual employees whose employment status is discussed were redacted from the materials.

Although the identity of these individuals are easily verified, and have been reported by other media outlets since Ocean City Today broke the story in January, this publication will continue to keep them anonymous.

In March of 2012, Larmore informed IAFF President Mike Maykrantz that he intended to promote two individuals to the rank of captain. This would potentially involve the promotion of a union member to a non-union, command staff position.

In the same email, Larmore stated his intention to make one of the union’s members, currently serving as an “acting” lieutenant in the absence of another officer, into a permanent lieutenant.

That promotion was announced in a July email from Deputy Chief Chuck Barton, thus allowing the aforementioned officer to participate the ensuing captain’s promotional process.

Following extensive testing and review in the late summer and fall of 2012, Larmore determined that the recently promoted lieutenant be further

promoted to captain, along with another female lieutenant who had been filling in for some time as an “acting” captain.

However, Maykrantz said in the grievance that the IAFF “believed that the goal was to convert [the acting captain] into a permanent one,” despite the fact that, the grievance alleges, “at no time during the [promotional] meeting or the entire process did Chief Larmore state that the department was promoting two Captains.”

The OCFD was only scheduled for one promotion in the 2012-2013 fiscal year. But Larmore’s rationale, as sources say it was presented to City Hall, was that the dual promotion would allow for succession planning due to anticipated retirements in the coming cycle.

Although the plan for a dual promotion was said to have been endorsed by Recor and city Human Resources Director Wayne Evans, Larmore brought his proposal before the City Council briefly after the November election.

Under the city’s charter, city department heads are free to make their own personnel decisions, with the approval of the city manager. However, Larmore wanted to notify the council of his promotion decision because he would, in effect, be changing the structure of his approved budget, although the money would come

out the same due to retirements.

However, sources indicate, multiple members of the council objected to the move, and Larmore was pressed to make only one candidate a captain. If forced to make a choice, Larmore is alleged to have said, he would promote the most qualified candidate, which he considered to be the female.

But several sources privy to the council proceedings claim that Larmore’s stance was flatly refused, with one council member telling the chief, “That’s not going to happen. You’re going to promote [the male candidate].”

Larmore instead returned to the council with a compromise proposal that would involve promoting the male candidate to a captain, but also upgrade the female’s status to “permanent acting” captain. This plan apparently passed muster with elected officials.

Yet, news of the move apparently sparked uproar from the IAFF, and the grievance revolving around the promotional process was filed in December.

“Chief Larmore secretly sought approval to create and hire a second captain beyond the one approved captain position, then appointed the runner-up candidate under the disguise of a “permanent acting” captain position, a contradictory term that is not listed in the CBA [Collective Bargaining Agreement] or any city See COUNCIL’S on Page 19A

2011, and 2012 – Worcester County enforced, as did many jurisdictions, a widescale pay freeze.

Only in this past fiscal year 2013, whose budget was decided on last spring, did the county grant a $1.2 million allocation for teacher pay increases, although the board had requested $1.9 million. This was largely offset, however, by a drop in per-pupil funding of more than $850,000 for FY13 because of decreased enrollment.

Although quasi-independent from the rest of the county government, Worcester’s school system receives about 80 percent of its revenue from appropriations by the county commissioners, who have final authority over its budget and have traditionally maintained a neutral level of funding based on the school system’s total enrollment.

“We recognize that you are not the final funding authority, and that you have to come together to craft a salary package that is amenable [to the county as a whole],” WCTA President and chief negotiator Helen Schoffstall told the board this week.

The schools’ budget for the upcoming 2014 fiscal year will be requesting an-

other increase of $1.5 million from the county. Most of this will be to fund staff salaries, although the budget also allows for a number of purchases for software and classroom technology. Savings are also present, mainly in materials costs.

“I feel that we have a commitment from the board to continue and not go back [in terms of funding],” Schoffstall said. “Obviously, we would’ve liked to have made up some steps, but we’ve gained ground. The COLAs have been a help, and I think the teachers know that and appreciate it.”

Schoffstall also assured the board that, now that negotiations were finished, the teacher’s union would be lobbying the county not just for their owner salaries, but for the needs of the entire system.

“After the negotiation, we’ve always closed ranks,” she said. “We’ve always fought, after the negotiations, to fund the entire budget. We’ve never said, ‘just pay for the salaries, we don’t care about the rest.’”

Schoffstall will also be retiring at the end of this school year.

“As an employee, I’ve watched Helen work, and her professionalism will truly be missed,” Taylor said.

Appeal possible in Route 589 property zoning case Continued from Page 1A

per “threw everything against the wall, but nothing stuck.”

When asked later that day about the outcome of the case, Cropper said, “I didn’t think it went too well.”

Cropper’s argument for a change in the neighborhood included the institution of gambling at Ocean Downs, but Raymond Smethurst, attorney for the plaintiffs said, “People go there to gamble, but people have always gone there to gamble.”

Also, the Ocean Downs site had been chosen for slot machines by a state commission prior to the time of the county’s comprehensive rezoning and the commissioners knew about it, Beck said.

Secondly, Cropper talked about the Marvin Steen development on the far south side of Ocean Pines, but Smethurst said its residential use remained the same.

Beck said the property had been zoned residential and the proposed density of use was known to the county commissioners before the comprehensive rezoning.

Lastly, Cropper talked about the planned movie theater and bowling alley at Ocean Downs, but Smethurst said they were “not changes of the nature and substance to support a finding of a change in character of a neighborhood.”

The judge said they were extensions of the racetrack and casino and not a substantial change to the use already there.

Beck added that Atlantic General Hospital’s interest in some day putting a medical facility on Burbage’s property was “speculative at best.”

Burbage, who was not in court Monday, had told the commissioners, the Ocean Pines board of directors and others, that he envisioned a medical complex with eight buildings. Medical offices, he said, are plentiful in the Berlin area, but more were needed.

His proposed development, he said, would bring an estimated 300 new medical jobs.

When the commissioners voted 4-3 in August 2012 to approve Burbage’s request to rezone the property, at least one voted for the change because of the perceived likelihood that a medical facility would be built there.

Commissioners James Purnell said that day that he voted in favor of the zoning change because of the proposed medical usage. If it were not for the good-paying jobs, he said, he would not have voted for the change. If Atlantic General Hospital was not interested in expanding there, his vote would have been in opposition and the zoning would have remained agricultural.

Although Burbage had said there was no guarantee of medical offices on the site, that possibility had been a part of the presentation to the commissioners on the day of the vote.

Resort Homes, Inc. Resort Real Estate, Inc. Resort Rentals, LLC

Michael Franklin, president and CEO of the hospital, said the aging population meant more people would be seeking healthcare and the Burbage property presented the best opportunity he had seen for the hospital to expand.

After the commissioners voted to rezone the property, Stansell and his wife, Pam, of Gum Point Road in Taylorville, Jeanne Lynch of Azalea Road in Taylorville and Ocean Pines residents Paul Bredehorst and Carole Schauer legally challenged the rezoning and hired Smethurst to represent them to file a petition for a judicial review of the commissioners’ action.

The petitioners were concerned that the vote was based on faulty information and that there had been no mistake in the original zoning nor any substantial change in the neighborhood. They were also concerned that the rezoning would

allow Burbage or any future owner of the property to have other businesses allowed in the general commercial zoned areas. Those uses would include hotels and motels, bars and nightclubs, veterinary clinics or kennels, including outside pens and runways, car washes, tattoo establishments, commercial parking lots and parking garages, funeral homes, contractors shops and self-storage centers.

After the judge’s ruling Monday, Stansell said he had not expected his decision to be made so soon.

Although he was smiling, Stansell said, “I don’t take any joy in this.” Referring the already heavily traveled Route 589 that fronts the property, he added that a medical complex or the other permitted uses “don’t belong on that road.”

Burbage has 30 days to appeal Beck’s ruling in favor of the plaintiffs.

Franchot seeks harsher penalties for untaxed cigarette charges Comptroller says county incidents support need for bill that increases fines NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) Two out-of-state residents were charged March 10 with possessing and transporting unstamped cigarettes in the state of Maryland.

Comptroller Peter Franchot wants stiffer penalties for those crimes.

After a state trooper stopped their 2013 Nissan Altima for speeding on Route 113 at Route 589 near Showell at about 12:15 p.m., he searched the car and found 430 cartons of untaxed cigarettes.

The driver, Baligh Mohamed Alsaidi,

32, of Hazelton, Pa., and his passenger, Bassam M. Algazali, 37, of Bronx, N.Y., said they bought the cigarettes in Virginia and were taking them to New York to sell.

Personnel from the state Comptroller’s Office went to the Maryland State Police barrack near Berlin to assist with the case.

In February, Franchot met with State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby and various members of law enforcement about aggressively combating such cigarette smuggling. On his way to Snow Hill, he received word that members of his Field Enforcement Division had confiscated thousands of packs of contraband cigarettes on Route 13 in Worcester County.

His agents had been conducting routine surveillance on the Maryland-Virginia border and saw a large quantity of cigarettes being loaded into a Toyota Camry

registered in Maryland.

When the agents stopped the car on Route 13 and Stockton Road, they found and seized 4,100 packs of contraband cigarettes, valued at $26,445. They charged the driver and his two passengers with possessing and transporting unstamped cigarettes in Maryland.

“Statewide, we saw a 150 percent increase in the amount of seized contraband cigarettes last month compared to the same time last year,” Franchot stated in a press release that day. “This illegal activity will not be tolerated in the state of Maryland.”

The transporting charge carries a fine of up to $50 per carton or imprisonment of up to two years, or both.

Franchot said that the Feb. 27 incident in Worcester County was “a prime example of the dire need for Senate Bill

Family Resort

69’s passage.” Such crimes, he stated, “rob our state of much needed revenue.”

Senate Bill 69 would increase the monetary penalty for a first violation to a mandatory fine of $150 per carton or each package of other tobacco products.

For subsequent violations, a mandatory fine of $300 per carton or package would be imposed.

The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 46-1 on Feb. 14 and had its first reading in the Ways and Means and Economic Matters Committee in the House of Delegates on Feb. 15. It is scheduled for a March 26 hearing.

Franchot believes the current $50 per carton fine is inadequate to deter cigarette smuggling.

According to the Comptroller’s Office, the Field Enforcement Division charged an average of 15 cigarette smuggling incidents and three subsequent incidents annually from fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2011.

In fiscal year 2012, the number of initial incidents increased to 88, but the subsequent incidents remained at three.

Also in fiscal year 2012, each initial incident involved an average of 399 cartons and each subsequent incident involved an average of 565 cartons. The average fine imposed was $1,799, well below the $50 cap allowed under current law.

Addition of table games a possibility at Casino at Ocean Downs Expansion would occur to accommodate tables; slots not to be removed NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) No decision has been reached on expanding the Casino at Ocean Downs, but “table games are being seriously considered,” Joe Cavilla, the casino’s general manager, said Monday.

The addition of table games would require much construction, Cavilla told the Local Development Council, which is mandated by the state to review local impact grants from proceeds at the casino. The other casinos in the state could remove some of their slot machines to accommodate table games, but the Casino at Ocean Downs has only 800 slot machines.

“We did not feel it was in our best interest to remove 300 or 400 slots to make room for table games,” Cavilla said during the council’s meeting in Snow Hill.

Because of the need for construction, he is not prepared at this time to commit to having table games, he said.

Other construction work will be

taking place at Ocean Downs. Two new barns are being built “so we can handle significantly more horses,” Cavilla said. Parking lots are also being constructed.

Horse racing will take place 48 days this summer. Last year, racing took place 44 days.

The casino is now open 24 hours on weekends, but closes at 3 a.m. during the week. Cavilla expects it to be open 24 hours daily during the summer.

“We will re-evaluate it during the fall,” he said. “We could go back to the way it is now.”

Cavilla also said he expected the casino to have a good summer because rentals and hotel bookings are “pretty strong.”

Statistics showed that Berlin and

Ocean Pines, which get 10 percent of the impact grant funds, received $216,530 in fiscal year 2012 and $148,444.06 so far in fiscal year 2013.

Ocean City, which gets 20 percent of the impact grant funds, received $433,060.27 in fiscal year 2012 and $296,888.11 so far this fiscal year.

Worcester County, which receives 60 percent of the impact grant funds, received $1.29 million in fiscal year 2012 and $890,664.38 million so far this fiscal year.

Snow Hill Mayor Charlie Dorman, a new member of the Local Development Council, asked why his town does not benefit from the impact funds. The state mandated that the funds go to Ocean City, Berlin and Ocean Pines, because of their prox-

imity to Ocean Downs, plus Worcester County. Some of the county’s funds benefit Snow Hill because they are being used to pay debt for Worcester Technical High School, which Snow Hill students may attend, and for public safety vehicles.

Members of the Local Development Council are Sen. Jim Mathias, Delegates Norm Conway and Mike McDermott, Cavilla, seven residents of communities in immediate proximity to Ocean Downs and four business or institution representatives located in the immediate proximity of Ocean Downs.

Because only seven of the 15 members were present at Monday’s meeting, they will vote on a chairperson and vice chairperson during the next scheduled meeting on June 17.

MARCH 22, 2013

Wind turbine legislation likely a done deal in General Assembly ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) With approval from the state Senate and the House of Delegates, legislation sponsoring the development of an oceanic wind energy farm off the coast of Ocean City is likely to be sealed soon, as Gov. Martin O’Malley — the initiative’s major architect — will almost assuredly sign the policy into law.

But just how, exactly, a potential investor would manage the construction of such a massive and fiscally treacherous project is still unclear to many in the state and resort.

“There’s been some very preliminary discussion of what they’d need and where they’d put it,” City Engineer Terry McGean said.

In the 2011 and 2012 legislative sessions, as well as this year, O’Malley has encouraged legislation to authorize the development of wind farms off the state’s coast. For the past two years, the initiative has cleared the House of Delegates, but has been stymied by discussion at the Senate committee level. But committee re-assignments this year appear to have shuffled the cards in a way that have allowed the proposal to garner enough support.

Under the Maryland proposal, two parcels of open seas — roughly 79,000 acres each — would be auctioned off by

the federal government, in whose waters the parcels reside. Any wind turbines installed would have to be at least 10 miles from Ocean City’s coast, so as not to obstruct the resort’s invaluable beach vista.

The past two years’ discussions have resulted in some parameters, however, that are extremely important to Ocean City’s role in the possible offshore development. Electricity generated by wind turbines at sea would need to be connected into a larger grid for transmission and distribution. A project currently in the works, financed by Google, would see the construction of an offshore transmission grid to connect wind farms up and down the East Coast and distribute their power to on-shore customers.

“Some of what happens depends on whether or not there’s this big offshore grid that Google wants to put in,” McGean said. “It would run up and down the East Coast, offshore, with on-shore connections at various locations.”

More likely, however, given the complexity and time scale of constructing an offshore grid, the wind farm would be tied directly into an existing on-shore power grid via an undersea cable. This connection was initially proposed to run under Assateague Island, but staunch opposition from environmental groups means that the line would have to be placed somewhere in Ocean City.

“The cable gets trenched in from off-

shore, and then at some point it switches to a directional drilling type of thing,” McGean said.

After having tunneled the connection under the beach, likely near the inlet, the lines would have to reach a junction.

“They would need a large manhole vault at some location,” McGean said. “A lot of the discussion so far has been at the inlet parking lot. There would have to be some sort of franchise agreement with the town to use our right-of-way.”

From the junction vault, the power from the offshore turbines would then be spliced into the existing grid. Such an operation would require a considerable step-up in voltage, however, as most large wind turbines put out power at 690 volts.

Most of the area’s high-capacity power transmission lines run at 69,000 volts, and some at 138,000.

If the connection were to be brought in at the inlet, as has been discussed, the likely option would be for the lines to come above ground at the Delmarva Power substation on the bay between First and Second streets, McGean said.

The developer of the possible offshore wind farm would then need to forge a power purchasing agreement, commonly referred to in the industry as a PPA, with the owner of the power grid.

“No one will even sell you the turbines unless you have a PPA,” said Chris Graf, a former General Electric engineer and

wind energy consultant, who has been assisting the state and Worcester County with the wind energy issue.

Most manufacturers of turbines, including GE, are reluctant to sell the difficult-to-produce units unless they know the buyer has a guaranteed means of revenue to pay for them. Wind farms onshore, Graf said, typically take eight years to pay for themselves.

The exchange price reached in the PPA would have to be vetted by state regulatory agencies. Maryland’s current legislative proposal has pre-approved a rate increase of up to $1.50 for residential customers, or an average of 1.5 percent for commercial customers, to help subsidize the cost of wind power.

Delmarva Power, Ocean City’s energy provider, has not yet taken a stance on the wind legislation or the possibility of forging a PPA with Maryland’s prospective wind developer, according to spokesman Matt Likovich.

The problem is, that wind energy, especially offshore, where capital construction is inherently more difficult than it is on shore, is more expensive than fossil fuel or nuclear production.

“It’s an un-level playing field,” said Mark Rodgers of Cape Wind, a Massachusetts-based wind developer whose project is in the final stages of development after over a decade on the drawing See TAX CREDIT on Page 14A

House committee backs proposal to raise state gas tax for transit systems SHEILA R. CHERRY ■ Associate Editor/Bayside Gazette (March 22, 2013) The Maryland General Assembly Ways and Means Committee on March 18, approved with amendments, Gov. Martin O’Malley’s (D) transportation funding proposal, the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act (HB 1515), after hearing from both motorists and transit system interest groups.

The committee passed the bill on a vote of 18-4, largely with the approval of delegates from urban and suburban jurisdictions. Delegates from Frederick, Anne Arundel, Allegany and Washington voted against the proposal. Two delegates were excused and one was absent at the time of the vote.

In testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, Mahlon Anderson, AAA Mid-Atlantic public and government affairs managing director, acknowledged that Maryland was in the midst of a “terrible transportation funding crisis” and needed at least $870 million in additional funding for the Transportation Trust Fund. But he strongly opposed at least one version of the bill, which he said favored mass transit over road construction.

For rural parts of the state, the first of

three flaws Anderson said were in the bill could be significant. He said, virtually all of the increased taxes would be on motorists.

“In a state spending more than twice as much on mass transit than it is on roads (48-23 percent), requiring motorists to pay virtually all of the proposed new revenue is not something we, as a motorists’ organization, think is fair and can support.

“Given that the state’s two mass transit systems handle less than 10 percent of local travel, where highways and bridges account for 90 percent of the state’s transportation users, it’s clear our roads and bridges are being hugely shortchanged,” Anderson said.

Second, he said, the bill would nearly double Maryland’s gas tax by 2018 when the estimated tax per gallon will be 42.7 cents. The current rate is from today’s 23.5 cents, he said.

Third, Anderson said, revenue protections proposed to ensure that the money raised is spent only on transportation are extraordinarily weak, which is critical in Maryland, where he added “raiding the TTF for non-transportation expenditures is, unfortunately, a fairly regular occurrence.”

Budget to pay Berlin farm family ALEXANDER PYLES ■ The Daily Record Newswire (March 22, 2013) The state could pay as much as $300,000 of a Berlin poultry farmer’s legal fees under an amended version of Gov. Martin O’Malley’s budget proposal, which received preliminary approval from the House of Delegates last Wednesday.

O’Malley’s budget, unveiled in January, included about $37.4 billion in spending for the fiscal year that begins in July. Since then, the House Appropriations Committee made 146 amendments to the governor’s plan, cutting costs to reduce spending to about $36.98 billion.

But as the full House debated the amended budget — House Bill 100 — Delegate Norman H. Conway, a Lower Eastern Shore Democrat who chairs the Appropriations Committee, offered one final amendment that would let the Board of Public Works pay $300,000 to cover court costs incurred by the Hudson Farm, which was named in a lawsuit, along with Perdue Farms Inc., in which the New York-based Waterkeeper Alliance Inc. alleged violations of the Clean Water Act. A federal judge held in December that neither Salisbury-based Perdue nor the Hudson Farm, which contracts with Perdue to raise chickens, violated the act by polluting the Pocomoke River and Chesapeake Bay. Conway said the lawsuit “did carry this family almost to the brink of losing everything they had.”

The House’s overwhelming, bipartisan support of the amendment was something of an apology from state lawmakers, many of whom were angry last year that the Hudson family was targeted by a lawsuit in which the statefunded University of Maryland Environmental Law Clinic represented the plaintiff. O’Malley himself wrote in a letter to the law school’s dean last year

that said the litigation was “a misuse of state resources.”

House Speaker Michael E. Busch, DAnne Arundel, said lawmakers didn’t think it was fair that a small family farm was pitted against the well-funded Waterkeeper Alliance, run by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Busch said it was “precedent-setting” to have such language in the budget.

Conway’s amendment was adopted after a voice vote — the “yeas” were far louder than the “nays” — but one Montgomery County Democrat who voted for the amendment said there should not be so much anger directed toward a law clinic that is bound by the same ethical guidelines that bind every private law firms.

“The fact that we subsidize them as a state is irrelevant,” Delegate Kirill Reznik said. “I am appalled that we are taking these extra legislative actions … take it up with the Bar or the Court of Appeals.”

Four amendments were also proposed by Republican lawmakers — including one that would have forced the state to fund local highway user revenues that were taken from the Transportation Trust Fund during the recession and another that have cut spending across the board — but the changes were easily rejected by Democrats during what was a quiet debate by budget bill standards.

With state revenue rebounding following the recession, O’Malley for the first time in years did not ask lawmakers to raise taxes as part of his initial legislative agenda. That will change this week, when a House committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on legislation that would raise Maryland’s gas tax to fund transportation projects.

The Appropriations Committee’s 146 amendments, which cut a little more than $400 million from O’Malley’s original budget proposal, were taken in small pieces. The committee decided to withhold a combined $250,000 from the state Department of Business and EcoSee BREAKS on Page 13A

SHEILA R. CHERRY â&#x2013; Associate Editor/Bayside Gazette (March 22, 2013) The Maryland Senate approved the final version of Death Penalty Repeal - Substitution of Life Without the Possibility of Parole (SB 276) on March 16. The House passed the third reading of the bill March 15 by a vote of 82-56. The bill is now waiting to be sent to Gov. Martin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley (D) for his signature.

In a March 16 statement, Delegate Michael McDermott (R-38B) said the discussion over the merits of the proposal â&#x20AC;&#x153;consisted of a lot of emotional rhetoric from the left.â&#x20AC;?

According to McDermott, the legislative majorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to recognize the importance of retaining the death penalty option for unknown events and defendants in the future was shortsighted and wrong-headed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their rejection of common sense amendments that would have at least reserved the ultimate penalty for those rare crimes only served as an exclamation point on this bad bill. Sadly, the repeal passed.â&#x20AC;?

Three amendments that were proposed by McDermott failed on largely partisan votes.

McDermott had offered amendments that would have: â&#x2013; shortened the amended name of the bill from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death Penalty Repealâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Substitution of Life Without the Possibility of Paroleâ&#x20AC;? to simply â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death Penalty Repealâ&#x20AC;? (rejected 50-87); â&#x2013; allowed the death penalty to be imposed on a person who committed capital murder on school grounds (rejected 55-79); â&#x2013; allowed the death penalty to be imposed on a person who committed capital murder while attempting to evade or escape from lawful arrest, custody, or detention by a guard or officer of a correctional facility or by a law enforcement officer (rejected 50-85).

The proposal to repeal the death penalty (SB 276) was favorably voted out of the House Judiciary Committee

March 12 with no amendments and placed on special order by Delegate Samuel I. Rosenberg (D-41) to put off consideration by the full House until the evening of March 13.

The House Judiciary Committee and Health and Government Operations Committee were scheduled to begin discussion on their respective sections of the Firearms Safety Act (SB 281) on March 14. The Health and Government Operations committee will deliberate over provisions related to mental health issues and the Judiciary Committee will tackle the remaining provisions. The sections must be approved by both committees for the legislation to be brought to the full House, which would happen March 15 if they pass, according to McDermott.

The third reading of the bill was approved by the Senate Feb. 28.

According to McDermott, after final votes on the gun bill (SB 281), the transportation tax bill will then be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;next big deal.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, the wind energy proposal won easy passage in Senate and House.

Sen. Jim Mathias (D-38) said on March 11 he was highly pleased with the final version of a wind energy bill that the Senate approved on March 8 by a 2to-1. The bill was passed and enrolled by the House after an 88-48 vote to approve a third reading on March 18.

The Maryland Offshore Wind Energy Act of 2013 (HB 226/SB 275) would add wind-generated electrical energy to the state renewable energy portfolio standard beginning in 2017 and extending beyond 2022.

According to a legislative summary, the bill would establish an application and review process for proposed offshore wind projects by the Public Service Commission, rate caps for farms and commercial electric users, a Maryland Offshore Wind Business Development Fund and Advisory Committee to help promote offshore wind businesses.

Mathias said two amendments to the proposal would create net benefits for See SENATE on Page 15A

nomic Development and Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation until the agencies show they have addressed issues identified in audits performed this year.

The Maryland State Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, meanwhile, had $366,000 cut from its budget after O’Malley’s office put a halt to the agency’s plan to create a Web site where gamblers could purchase and play lottery tickets.

The House further amended the lottery budget to require that the agency solicit the input of lottery agents — retailers who sell tickets — and hold a public hearing before

drawing up regulations to create an Internet lottery system.

Senate Bill 272, unanimously approved by the Senate last month in response to the protest of retailers that this expansion of gambling would be harmful to their businesses, would take away authority of the lottery to create such regulations. The House Ways and Means Committee — cool to the idea — has not scheduled a hearing for the bill.

With the bill now closed to amendment by House lawmakers, O’Malley’s budget still supports the governor’s primary priorities, including record funding for education, further nar-

rowing of what was once a nearly $2 billion structural deficit, and promoting a number of industries by offering tax breaks to film production, biotechnology and cyber security firms.

The governor’s budget still includes $1.5 million to pay for ongoing studies of hydraulic fracturing, the controversial natural gas drilling technique colloquially known as fracking. Drilling permits have not been issued — and natural gas companies haven’t come knocking on Maryland’s door — since O’Malley issued an executive order in 2011 that called for safety and best practice studies of fracking before drilling.

The federal government does still extend tax credits to wind farm developers, although their future is uncertain. According to Graf, the credit system existed for nearly a decade before expiring last year and then being extended this year for another two years. The effect of sequestration is currently unknown.

“That’s what makes the wind farm development work right now financially,” Graf said. “Without that tax credit, it’s very difficult.”

tially the same.

“They ultimately decided that the benefits [of the wind farm] were far greater than the fiscal costs,” he said.

In Europe, where offshore wind farms are much more common and provide a sizeable chunk of energy, Rodgers said that instead of charging ratepayers extra to subsidize “green” energy, the government instead places higher pollution taxes and fees on less environmentally friendly power producers.

Further, he said, “it’s common there for the utilities to provide all the transmission

board. “There are a number of government incentives for fossil fuel production, but most important is that these facilities are allowed to emit carbon free of charge.”

Many state regulatory agencies in the U.S. support higher energy rates for more environmentally friendly methods. Although the legislation authorizing Cape Wind’s turbine farm in Nantucket Sound did not specifically set a price increase, as Maryland’s does, Rodgers said the effect, once approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, was essen-

Anderson told the committee, “to have our support, the bill must offer strong protections for the Trust Fund, and broaden the revenue base well beyond just motorists. And the increases to motorists must be reasonable. Clearly, nearly doubling the gas tax to largely pay for mass transit is, to put it politely, unreasonable.”

Meanwhile, a coalition of environ-

mental, business, and civic activists applauded the bill as a way to fund critical transportation infrastructure. The League of Women Voters of Maryland, 1000 Friends of Maryland and Coalition for Smarter Growth told the committee they had formed a coalition of 40 organizations in February when it became apparent that critical transit and road projects could not move forward without new funding.

The newly formed Get Maryland Moving coalition generated more than 1,000 petition signatures and 500 direct e-mails to legislators and metropolitan media outlets.

Senate backs marijuana bill Continued from Page 12A

the local community. First, he said, was an amendment that would cap rate increases for wind-based electricity to the first 3,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity in a month for agricultural land, and would not exceed 1.5 percent of the total annual electric bills for commercial customers.

Second, Mathias said, was an amendment that to the extent possible would require transmission or distribution infrastructure improvements needed for the project to occur in Maryland.

Mathias noted investment projects like Internet giant Google’s Atlantic Wind Connection, an offshore power generation and transmission project that proposes to create “a superhighway for clean energy transmission,” as an example for what the future could hold. He said proponents of the initiative, which he compared to the advent of the railroad system, were trying to keep it responsible and affordable.

However, McDermott has taken the opposite view on the wind energy proposal. He called it “a bad bill for businesses and a bad bill for consumers.”

As far as the delegate was concerned, “If wind energy is viable, then companies will pick it up” as an investment project. He said the government should not be in the business of making electricity consumers buy certain amounts of kilowatt energy each month from specific sources. The additional costs can be significant for entities that use a lot of energy, like the town of Ocean City’s street lights, for example, he said.

McDermott also questioned the claims that the projects would bring a significant number of jobs to the area, since he said the primary manufacturers of wind turbines were located overseas.

The Senate approved a proposal by Sen. Bobby Zirkin (D-11) to establish a minimum threshold for imposing penalties for the use or possession of marijuana on March 19 by a vote of 30-16.

Mathias said he voted against the bill.

At the end of the day, he said, “we are still dealing with a dangerous controlled substance.” The bill, he said would make enforcement more difficult by mitigating the amount, which he added, would raise probable cause and constitutional issues.

A more appropriate legislative response, according to Mathias, would be to look at either legalization, regulation or taxation.

The legislation, which is now scheduled for a March 28 hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, would change the crime for possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana to a civil rather than criminal offense. The current penalty is incarcenation of 90 days or less and/or a maximum $500 fine.

Under the proposal, Criminal Law– Possession of Marijuana–De Minimis Quantity (SB 297), the penalty would be a civil offense punishable by a fine not exceeding $100.

Intoxicated victim in Machen attack goes to jail for four days NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) The boyfriend and alleged victim in the case of the Ocean City woman charged with assaulting him in the head with a can of beer one day and a can of beans the next day was jailed Wednesday because he was too intoxicated to testify.

“The trial was prevented from occurring,” Judge John L. Norton III said in District Court in Ocean City after finding Joseph Webster in contempt of court.

Kathleen Theresa Machen, 47, looked angry and horror-stricken as Webster was handcuffed in court before being taken to

jail to serve a four-day sentence. Earlier, she had mouthed, “This is bull ____,” after the judge ordered her to continue to be held in jail pending trial.

K. Machen Machen allegedly attacked Webster, who she said was her fiancé, on Feb. 5 with a can of beer in a room at a 12th Street inn. She was charged with second-degree assault and told to have no contact with Webster, who did not heed the advice of paramedics to seek treatment at a hospital.

The next day, Machen allegedly at-

tacked Webster again, this time with a can of beans. In this incident, he had been asleep when she started the attack. According to police, she struck his head repeatedly, causing several bleeding wounds. She was charged with first- and second-degree assault, malicious destruction of property and resisting arrest.

Machen was arrested a third time Feb. 19 and again charged with second-degree assault, with Webster again as the victim, during an argument about a can of beer.

In court Wednesday during a preliminary hearing to determine if the Feb. 6 case should be forwarded to Circuit Court, Pfc. Chris Snyder testified that a 2-inch di-

ameter cut on Webster’s forehead was oozing blood.

Machen, Snyder said, had used a “full, un-open can of beans and struck him several times in the forehead.”

“The can contained blood on it and there was a large amount of blood on the sheets and in the sink in the bathroom,” Snyder testified.

Deputy State’s Attorney Paul Haskell said the case met the requirement of the charge of first-degree assault because it was an attempt to cause serious injury.

“She struck him at least once with a can of beans in the head,” Haskell said.

Joe Schanno, Machen’s public defender, did not think the case merited the serious charge, but Judge Norton said it did.

Facts of the case were “disturbing and alarming,” Norton said.

“A hard object like a metal can against the head could cause a brain injury,” Norton said.

Norton found probable cause for the felony charge of first-degree assault and forwarded the case to Circuit Court in Snow Hill.

The judge then addressed Webster, who had appeared under the influence of alcohol when he arrived at court. Because of his apparent intoxication, he was subjected to a breath/alcohol test, which revealed an alcohol level of .40.

“He’s here in body, but not in mind,” Norton said.

POLICE BRIEFS

Drug charges After conducting a traffic stop on Seahawk Road on March 16, a Berlin police officer saw the driver, Matthew Derry, 25, of Berlin, discard a bag of suspected marijuana as he got out of the vehicle.

After arresting Derry, the police officer searched the vehicle and found suspected marijuana as well as numerous pills of hydrocodone, clonazepam and gabapentin.

Derry was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of controlled dangerous substances.

Alleged assault A 27-year-old Ocean City man was

charged March 15 with second-degree assault and malicious destruction of property valued at less than $500.

According to the charging document, a woman told police that Sean Michael O’Connor choked her and ripped a necklace from her neck when both were in his 75th Street apartment. Police observed that her neck and upper chest were red and inflamed.

Malicious destruction A 41-year-old West Ocean City woman was charged March 17 with two counts of malicious destruction after allegedly damaging two vehicles.

According to Ocean City police, Danann M. Moreau caused deep scratches on the hood and driver’s side of a Kia Spectre parked in the

142nd Street area. She also allegedly caused deep scratch marks on the driver’s side of a Dodge Ram, bent the truck’s antenna and removed a large piece of plastic from the rear bumper and placed it in the bed of the truck.

The damage to the Kia was estimated at $500 to $600. The damage to the Dodge truck was estimated at $600 to $700.

Angry patron A man who was told to leave a midtown nightspot was arrested after allegedly yelling, waving his arms, lunging forward and pushing someone who had been standing in a group of more than 10 people outside the club.

Police charged Nickolaos Anthonio Athanasiou, 23,of Baltimore, with disorderly conduct.

Cathell: Maryland spending money on taxes not paid in NY Continued from Page 6A

at all. His charges of possessing and transporting untaxed cigarettes were placed on a stet, or inactive docket on March 5.

Biton had the unfortunate experience of being a passenger in a minivan driven by his uncle, Yossef Dahan, who traveled from New York to Virginia on Oct. 18, 2012, to buy cigarettes for resale in New York. Biton had arrived in the United States from Israel only about two hours before the trip south started and he was reportedly unaware of its purpose.

On the return trip north, Dahan was stopped for speeding near Pocomoke.

Looking into the minivan, a police officer saw cardboard boxes covered with trash bags. Some cigarette cartons were poking out from beneath the bag. A search revealed 303 cartons.

McDermott’s contraband bill passes House Seized cartons of cigarettes can become a problem when space is needed to store them.

Delegate Mike McDermott’s House Bill 147, which passed in the House of Delegates on March 7 and had its first reading in the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee on March 8, requires a law enforcement officer to promptly notify the Comptroller’s Office after seizing contraband tobacco products.

The bill also requires the Comptroller’s Office to take possession of the contraband tobacco

products within 60 days after they are no longer needed for evidence in court. The comptroller may destroy the contraband products.

The bill also requires a police officer to promptly notify the Comptroller’s Office after seizing the vehicle in which the contraband tobacco products were transported. The Comptroller’s Office must remove the vehicle from the political subdivision with 60 days after it is no longer needed as evidence and is forfeited.

The comptroller may sell the vehicle.

In Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Jan. 14, Assistant State’s Attorney William McDermott said the cigarettes had a retail value of $19,556.40 and if they had been purchased in Maryland, the state

would have had income of $6,064 in taxes.

Judge Dale Cathell said Maryland is spending money because of taxes not paid to New York. He fined Dahan $5 per carton and issued a 30-day suspended sentence.

Council’s refusal sparked capt. row Continued from Page 3A

Although the city’s human resources department did not release the test scores, city officials had apparently been informed that the female candidate was, in fact, the highest scorer and most qualified, in a seven-part examination process of which five of the parts were conducted by outside agencies.

The IAFF grievance was subsequently denied by Recor, who notified the IAFF that it was out of its jurisdiction in trying to be the final arbiter, as a bargaining unit, of who would and would not be employed at the management level, a sector it does not represent.

Objection to the female candidate did not stop with the grievance, however.

Rumors began circulating through City Hall and the town’s emergency services that Larmore had engaged in sexual relations with the female candidate.

Although Recor and Evans believed the accusations to be without merit, sources widely report that at least one member of council would not relent on the allegations. When Recor and Evans personally investigated the apparent sources of the rumor, they informed high-level city officials that the charges were unfounded.

The apparent scheme to discredit and threaten Larmore and his promotional pick reached its peak when, only a day after the dual promotion went through, a dead cat was left on his doorstep.

The campaign against Larmore and the promotion is said to have further revealed a pattern of harassment and intimidation in the OCFD. The female candidate alleged that she had long been the victim of harassment by fellow firefighters because of her gender.

The council’s insistence that the “permanent acting” condition be applied to her promotion was, in her view, a continuation of the harassment and gender discrimination, an argument bolstered by the purported use of sexual rumors as a weapon against her and Larmore.

According to sources, this is the substance of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint filed against the city by the female candidate, which has sparked an intensive inquiry by the city’s labor attorneys – Miles and Stockbridge – to be presented to City Council at a later date.

As of this week, however, Recor said that he “believes that the matter has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of both parties.”

The “permanent acting” condition will now be removed from the female captain’s title, according to sources. Even if the complaint is withdrawn, however, the EEOC could continue to investigate the issue if it believes the city is at fault.

Further, as of press time, the IAFF has not yet ratified its new contract with the city, apparently due to some objection over the legal language used by the city.

“I think that those issues have been resolved at this point, most, if not all of them,” Recor said this week.

Cigarette smuggling is more NY’s problem Someone needs to explain what Maryland’s cigarette smuggling crackdown is all about, and why capturing these contraband carriers on this state’s soil is important to taxpayers and residents.

Maybe we’re missing something, but a safe bet would be that most people, including us, don’t understand why we should be financing operations to address someone else’s problem.

Smuggling cigarettes is obviously illegal, is highly profitable and often involves organized crime. But the practice of buying smokes in Virginia and hauling them across Worcester County and on to New York would seem to be more of a federal racketeering case than a state offense.

And despite arguments to the contrary, that’s mostly where these tobacco traffickers are going, to the most profitable market with the highest tobacco tax.

One state agent said in Worcester County Circuit Court recently if the cigarettes seized in a local bust had been purchased in Maryland instead of Virginia, this state would have received several thousand dollars in revenue.

That’s true, but because these people had no intention of buying or selling cigarettes in Maryland, the only way for that argument to work is to say that the crime is not that these people were smuggling, but that they weren’t smuggling from here.

From a purely financial point of view, it would appear that state resources are being devoted to solving someone else’s problem. Judge Dale Cathell said as much at the recent Snow Hill trial of one smuggler when he observed that Maryland is spending money because of taxes not paid to New York State.

The time will come, if tobacco taxes continue to increase in Maryland, when we will have a serious problem here. In the meantime, if this is an interstate or New York concern, agencies from those jurisdictions should be paying for more for enforcement than we are.

READERS’ FORUM

Petitioners against knives on planes Editor, I am appalled by the Transportation Security Administration’s recent decision to allow knives back into the aircraft cabin. As a flight attendant and the last line of defense in the cabin, I believe that these proposed changes could endanger crewmembers and the passengers that we work so hard to keep safe and secure.

Keeping dangerous items off the aircraft is an integral layer in aviation security and must remain in place. Air marshals, pilots, transportation security officers and airline CEOs agree with flight attendants. The people on the front lines of aviation security know this is a bad idea.

You can join us in helping protect air travel by signing our petition at NOKnivesONPlanes.com.

Doug Antos Ocean City

EDITOR’S NOTE: A March 5 statement by the TSA announced that, as of April 25, “TSA will allow knives that do not lock, and have blades that are 2.36 inches or 6 centimeters or less in length and are less than 1/2 inch in width, novelty-sized and toy bats, billiard cues, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and two golf clubs as part of their carry-on baggage. This is part of an overall Risk-Based Security approach, which allows Transportation Security Officers to better focus their efforts on finding higher threat items such as explosives.”

People and alcohol a bad mix for OC Editor, I am requesting on behalf of the greater good of our fine city, Ocean City, that a proposal, plan and required posting of bylaws governing responsible consumption of alcohol be presented to, for and by the

mayor and City Council to and for all bars and restaurants to post such bylaws for the benefit of all patrons, businesses and the overall prosperity of all who visit and live here in Ocean City.

This would be “to” mayor and City Council.

[I suggest] a posting that [states] the city is supporting and requiring the bars and restaurants to require all patrons … to abide by such basic behavioral bylaws, which will assist in providing a good experience for all its customers. And which will also help each establishment to avert very possible, probable and potential hazards of adding people and alcohol together.

This is a present reality that the Mayor and City Council must and should spearhead in order to promote a safe and clean environment. Please help Ocean City move toward a safe family and vacationing place to live.

West OC waterline to assist firefighters busy highway.

Public Works Director John Tustin said in October that extending the waterline would involve drilling beneath Route 50 and connecting to the existing waterline that was constructed to serve Rite Aid. The waterline’s length would be 200 feet across Route 50 and an additional 350 feet to extend the line to Waterman’s.

He said the cost would be approximately $30,000 to $35,000 for the line to cross Route 50 and an additional $20,000 to $25,000 to run the line to Waterman’s.

Tustin said extending the waterline to the new West Ocean City firehouse on Keyser Point Road had been discussed during meetings of the Mystic Harbour Advisory Committee. Such a connection

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

By Stewart Dobson Ah early days of spring, the time when we have not two, but three units of temperature measurement: Fahrenheit, Celsius and Oblivious.

We all know about Fahrenheit, a unit of measurement invented in the 1700s by Daniel Fahrenheit of the Netherlands and which seems to make no sense whatsoever. I’m not sure of my facts, but as I understand it, he set the freezing point of water at an otherwise inexplicable 32 degrees after discovering his brother, Lenny, in the backyard as stiff as a Mrs. Paul’s fish stick. Lenny was 32 years old at time, hence the mercurial tribute.

As for the 212-degree mark for boiling water, that would refer to the 6.625 times that Daniel attempted to unstiffen Lenny with what the neighbors described as unfortunate results.

The Celsius thermometer, on the other hand, seems to make much more sense, given its beginning at zero for the freezing point of water and 100 for the boiling point.

It was divined in the 1700s by Swedish scientist Anders Celsius, who – and again I might not have my facts straight – is believed to have revised Fahrenheit’s scale after hearing of the tragic “Thawing Lenny Incident” next door in Holland.

It is the absolute truth that Celsius’s thermometer originally set zero as the boiling point of water and 100 as the freezing point.

The numbers were reversed after his death by scientists who knew all along that “heating down and cooling up” would not become universally popular expressions.

That brings us to Oblivious. This is a form of temperature measurement used primarily by mailmen and young people who begin to wear shorts as soon as the ice cracks on the dog’s outside water bowl.

The Oblivious unit of measurement was actually invented by Neanderthal people, who, as we all know, died out, with the leading theory being that they all vanished during an eight-hour February thaw when someone said, “Hey, everyone, let’s go hunting and gathering naked.”

Somehow, that instinct has remained with some of us, except for the naked part, thank goodness, and if you’ll look around, you will find people popping outdoors in their shorts as soon as the temperature hits 40° F or 4.444° C. For most of us, that would still be cold enough to freeze the ornaments off your tree, but it’s 70° O if you subscribe to the Oblivious theory, which pretty much breaks down to, “If I’m not numb, I’m fine.”

(Full disclosure: If the above seems vaguely familiar, it’s because the writer is enjoying his first spring cold and thought he could get away with using something he wrote 10 years ago, figuring if he didn’t remember it, you wouldn’t either).

(March 22, 2013) Worcester County officials are ensuring that firefighters will not have to stretch fire hoses across Route 50 to fight some fires in West Ocean City.

That’s exactly what they had to do during the Oct. 5, 2012, fire at Waterman’s Seafood Restaurant.

Ocean Gateway, otherwise known as Route 50, had to be shut down in both directions so firefighters could have their water supply.

Shortly after that fire, caused by a faulty electrical circuit, county officials looked into the possibility of extending a waterline to the north side of Route 50 in West Ocean City to prevent the necessity of placing fire hoses across the

would provide a redundant feed beneath Route 50 looped into the existing waterline feeding Ocean City Elementary School. The additional cost for looping the line at the firehouse would be an estimated $140,000 to $150,000.

In November, the Worcester County Commissioners approved the extension of the waterline to Waterman’s and the completion of the waterline loop to the West Ocean City firehouse.

During their March 5 meeting, the commissioners approved bid documents for the construction of approximately 2,000 lineal feet of 12-inch waterline along Keyser Point Road from the firehouse to the south side of Route 50.

Bids will be accepted until 1 p.m., Monday, March 25, in the office of the county commissioners in Snow Hill.

NEWS 37A

Ocean City holds off on ad; wary of mixing politics, marketing ZACK HOOPES â&#x2013; Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) Despite an endorsement of its witty, sardonic appeal, the Town of Ocean City appears to be holding off on one of its spring advertising campaigns for fear that the tongue-incheek reference to legislative policy could be misperceived in Annapolis.

During last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural meeting of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tourism Commission, Andy Malis, president of MGH Advertising, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contracted marketing firm, presented what he described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;quickie advertising campaignâ&#x20AC;? to generate earlyspring buzz for the resort.

The campaign, to be run in newspapers in Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metropolitan core, references a bill in the state legislature that would establish a committee to study changing Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school calendar to allow county school districts to start after Labor Day. Filed by Sen. Jim Mathias, the bill is currently ready for its third reading and is likely to see final action before Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, all signals seem to be green,â&#x20AC;? Mathias said this week.

MGHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ad is a tongue-in-cheek â&#x20AC;&#x153;call for actionâ&#x20AC;? to Maryland students, warning them that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the government is stealing your funâ&#x20AC;? by necessitating earlier start dates that wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been unthinkable a generation ago.

The ad also warns students of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dangers of Skee-ball deprivation,â&#x20AC;? and requests that they ask their parents to respond to an online survey, which queries if they would support a longer summer for their children or whether they â&#x20AC;&#x153;hate fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do some unusual campaigns to get massive amounts of attention [in the past],â&#x20AC;? Malis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These campaigns were fairly low-cost, as this would be, for the amount of publicity they garner.â&#x20AC;?

Previously off-center print campaigns

by MGH have included an â&#x20AC;&#x153;evacuation routeâ&#x20AC;? for â&#x20AC;&#x153;refugeesâ&#x20AC;? to Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;cicada-free zone,â&#x20AC;? as well as a farcical public service announcement by Mayor Rick Meehan for vacationers to visit the resort â&#x20AC;&#x153;before the ocean evaporates.â&#x20AC;?

Although Mathiasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposal simply establishes an exploratory committee, and does not take a stance on what the final recommendation of the study would be, proponents and opponents of a change in scheduling have already lined up on the hot-button issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The print ad is really just a platform or a springboard for publicity or to get interviews,â&#x20AC;? Malis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will give the mayor an opportunity to give a balanced assessment â&#x20AC;Ś I think it would help the teachers to understand [the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position].â&#x20AC;?

Given that pushing back the start of school would essentially grant an extension to the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peak season, Ocean City stands to receive a considerable economic gain from a possible schedule change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In no way do we want to slight education,â&#x20AC;? Meehan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think this is

tongue-in-cheek enough to get the point across.â&#x20AC;?

But some hesitation was present, even last week, that the campaign could be viewed as an ill-advised attempt to influence legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems to me that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just raising awareness, not lobbying â&#x20AC;Ś but is there any possibility of a backlash?â&#x20AC;? Councilman Dennis Dare asked during the commission meeting.

By the time the proposal reached the full council this week, however, that fear appeared to have grown. Both Tourism Director Donna Abbott and Tourism Commission Chair Mary Knight suggested that the campaign was likely best to begin after the legislative session had ended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think our advertising money is for political purposes,â&#x20AC;? said Councilman Brent Ashley, who immediately asked whether the city could or should be mixing its legislative interests with its advertising. Much of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advertising budget is funded through room tax, a levy authorized by the state.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for fun; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how this is going to look,â&#x20AC;? Ashley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even that question, it would be important to not even touch it until the legislature ends,â&#x20AC;? Abbott said.

The council declined to vote on the campaign, although it did move forward with other marketing initiatives that Malis brought forward for the 2013 season.

City Manager David Recor later confirmed that the council would be re-visiting the idea after the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative session had ended, so that the ad would not be misconstrued as an attempt by the city to throw its political weight in Annapolis.

Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school calendars are largely left up to county-level school districts. But the schedule of state testing encourages an early return, given that the critical High School Assessments are scheduled for the end of September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue of the teachers having the appropriate amount of time to prepare their students for the tests,â&#x20AC;? Mathias said.

Changing the statewide testing dates to allow counties a later start date â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially as Maryland moves towards revamping its standardized exams and curriculum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is one of the major possibilities that Mathiasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposed committee would investigate.

City to expand advertising in post-hurricane Jersey, Pittsburgh ‘Lucky Summer’campaign will be similar to prior years ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (March 22, 2013) With many beaches to the north still unrepaired from Hurricane Sandy, and Ocean City still experiencing a dearth of long-stay visitors, the resort will be intensifying its TV ad campaign in the Jersey area this year, as well as expanding its coverage to include the lucrative Pittsburgh market.

In a proposal first given to the city’s Tourism Commission last week, and approved this week by City Council, MGH President Andy Malis suggested that the city re-use most of its marketing materials from prior years, and sink what would be production costs into buying additional weeks of TV air time.

MGH is the city’s contracted marketing firm, handling the design and production of the town’s advertising, and the securing of air and print space to distribute it.

“The truth is that it’s rough [in New Jersey],” Malis said. “They’re not going to be competing as they normally do.”

Despite assertions from a number of New Jersey elected officials that Garden State resorts will be fully functional by the summer – and a proposal currently in the

New Jersey legislature to pump an extra $20 million into the state’s tourism marketing allocation – Malis said the evidence indicates that “that really isn’t the case.”

Even if Jersey beaches recover most of their housing capacity, many tourists have already turned their attention away from their traditional Jersey vacation spots, Malis said. A Rutgers University poll indicated that only 64 percent of Jersey’s repeat visitors plan to spend as much time there as they did last year, a number that Malis speculated would be much closer to 100 percent for Ocean City.

Of those who were planning to spend less time, 63 percent cited Hurricane Sandy as the reason. Further, 30 percent of those who spend more than four weeks at Jersey beaches are planning to cut back.

“A very large percentage of those people paid no attention before [to Ocean City’s advertising],” Malis said. “They had no intention of coming here. This has given us an unprecedented opportunity to reach those people who weren’t receptive before.”

While Malis stressed that he would not be willing, ethically, to devise an ad campaign that specifically referenced the destruction on the New York and New Jersey coastlines, there was conversely no reason for Ocean City not to heighten its existing campaign to meet the antici-

Ashley also suggested that part of the Jersey campaign actually encourages vacationers to support their own beaches.

“I think that type of campaign would create so much good-will, it would be priceless,” he said.

However, the city is likely to not change any of its advertising content and will instead avoid production costs so it can concentrate on wider dissemination.

Malis said he plans to select three of the most well-received commercials featuring Rodney the Lifeguard, a character created by MGH, who “rescues” visitors from their boring jobs or mundane lives and delivers them to Ocean City.

The campaign’s tagline will be the “Lucky Summer of ’13,” which will essentially be a re-branding of last year’s “Summer of Thanks” theme. MGH will again solicit coupons and deals from hotels and restaurants to promote the resort’s value.

Deals will be promoted through the town’s tourism website, ococean.com, as well as through its Facebook page. A Facebook sweepstakes will give away a prize vacation package every week for 12 weeks, as well as one grand prize package of a week’s stay in the resort.

Malis also said MGH will be ramping up the resort’s presence on the photosharing site Instragram, and plans to establish photo hotspots around the resort where vacationers can tag their photo submissions for a chance to win T-shirts.

pated higher demand of the Jersey market.

“It would be irresponsible for us, at the same time, not to look at it in those terms,” Malis said. “It is affecting the marketplace already and it’s my responsibility to bring that to your attention.

“I would not want to take advantage by doing something particularly different, but we can do more of what we’re doing already.”

Malis proposed expanding the city’s TV campaign in the Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York network to 16 weeks, versus last year’s 12-week campaign, meaning the city would begin advertising four weeks earlier. TV purchases in the core regions of Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and central Pennsylvania would remain at 13 weeks.

“The opportunity here is to get in earlier and get their attention,” Malis said.

Additionally, a 12-week campaign would be started in Pittsburgh, a market that is considerably cheaper than the metro areas of Maryland and New Jersey. But despite reaching fewer people, Pittsburgh advertising has the advantage of reaching those who will likely book earlier and stay longer, since they have a further distance to travel.

“Our weekly rentals have dropped off in recent years,” said Councilman Brent Ashley. “The further they come, the longer they stay.”

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 22, 2013) Ten of the 12 girls on Stephen Decatur tennis Coach Jamie Greenwood’s roster competed for the Seahawks in 2012.

Freshmen Mallory Rolleston and Calais Rodriguez, who will play doubles, are J. Greenwood the only new players joining the Lady Seahawks’ squad.

Greenwood, now in his fifth season as coach, said the 2013 team is solid and has experience.

“Hopefully, that bodes well for the season. Ten played last year and they all saw match time,” he said. “All the girls get along, which is a big key to being successful. We have the ability to win our matches, win the [South] conference and compete for a Bayside title, but it’s about dedication and focus.”

Last year, the Seahawks finished 10-6 and were led by Madison Pope and Emmalee Murrell. Greenwood said the two will battle it out each week to see who will play in the Nos. 1 and 2 singles spots.

“Those two are both pretty solid,” he said. “They’re my senior leaders.”

Seniors Tori Whigham, Libby Withers and Lexi Ashton will most likely play in the third, forth and fifth single positions, respectively.

“The other seven girls, it’s a toss-up if they’ll be playing singles or doubles. Everybody’s pretty equal,” Greenwood said. They include veterans, juniors Ashley DePaul, twins Charlotte and Valerie Petsche, Annie James and sophomore Delaney Iacona.

Greenwood will look to the five seniors for leadership.

Duker’s high jump of 6 feet during the Feb. 19, state indoor meet earned him the title, but he feels it will take heights of 6 feet 2 inches or 6 feet 4 inches to win outdoors.

“I didn’t make it to states last year [outdoors], but at

Six seniors lead ‘solid veteran team’ in Howard’s 35th at helm LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 22, 2013) Stephen Decatur softball Coach Don Howard was pleased with the Lady Seahawks’ overall performance last Saturday during scrimmages against Snow Hill and Cambridge. But with nine veterans, including six seniors, back on the field for Decatur, he expected nothing less.

“We did a lot of good things, but that was my expectation because we’re a solid veteran team,” said Howard, now in his 35th season as head coach. “We hit the ball well and we fielded decently. We just

With solid pitching and a strong offense, Howard thinks the Seahawks should be competitive in every game Don Howard they play this season.

Seniors Jessica Iacona and Jessica Bunting and junior Beth Laque will return to the mound.

When not pitching, Iacona and Laque will play first base and Bunting second.

Also back to compete from 2012, when the team went 11-9 — the Seahawks fell 6-1 to Reservoir in the 3A East Regional semifinals — are seniors Abbey Schorr (catcher), Amanda Parsons (center field), Liz Brittingham (third)Keeley Marks (outfield/catcher) and juniors Emma Ditzel (outfield) and Taylor Black (short stop).

Rounding out Howard’s 14-player roster are newcomers, juniors Kayla Heinz (third), Erin Summers (outfield), sophomore Hannah Fleming (infield) and freshmen Lauren Laque (second/ outfield) and Hillary Jarman (outfield).

Howard will count on his seniors for leadership this season.

“I hope to lead by example … by hustling, diving for balls, just putting 100 percent into everything,” said Parsons a four-year player. “I think we’re coming along and jelling pretty well.”

With a full view of the field, Schorr, a member of the team since she was a freshman, considers the catcher the “quarterback” of the team. She hopes to be a leader and encourage her teammates.

“I think it’s going to be a fun season.

I’m ready for it,” she said. “This could be our year if we put our minds to it. We just have to go out there, practice hard, play hard and we’ll see were it goes.”

Keyon Eley will contribute, as well.

“The boys won the Bayside title this winter and I think they’ll be competitive outdoors,” said Jody Stigler, now in his second year as head coach.

Decatur finished second behind Queen Anne’s during the conference championship last spring.

Stigler said Kelly has stepped up as one of the squad’s leaders.

“I think I’m going to lead the team by showing them my commitment and how

my hard work has paid off from my freshman year to my senior year,” he said.

“The boys’ team is very solid, [a] much stronger team from our indoor team. We won Baysides [indoors] and I think we’ll take the Bayside title outdoors.”

While Stigler said the boys’ squad is strongest in the field events and sprints, he’s certain the team will be successful as a whole.

“I think we’ll score points everywhere.

We’re a pretty deep team,” he said.

“We’re strong in almost every event.”

Stigler has some holes to fill on the Lady Seahawks’ squad, but he is confident the girls will be competitive this season. The team went undefeated during the 2012 regular season and captured the Bayside title.

Approximately 50 girls are participating; about half competed in 2012. The Seahawks will be solid in the sprint races and field events, Stigler said, particularly the hurdles.

Katie Collins, a junior, pole vaulted 8 feet 6 inches during the indoor state meet

to finished third. She will vault outdoors as well as run sprints and compete in the long jump.

Stigler will count on juniors Rebecca Lederman (sprints) and Chloe Faunt-LeRoy (mid-distance/distance), senior Ameerah Lewis (shot put/discus) and sophomore Emily Kolarik (hurdles) to score points.

“I’m just going to help encourage everyone,” said FauntLeRoy, a three-year runner. “We’ve got a lot of potential and everyone’s working really hard. I’m excited and I think we’ll do really well.”

(March 22, 2013) Stephen Decatur boys’ lacrosse Coach Scott Lathroum is excited to have a strong core group of veterans returning to the field this season.

The Seahawks captured their first Bayside Conference title in 2008 and secured a second trophy last year. In 2012, the squad went 12-2 under first-year coach Lathroum. He took over for Jason Macrides, who stepped down after 11 years at the helm. Lathroum had been his assistant for several years.

The 2012 season ended with a 12-11 loss to Queen Anne’s in the 3A-2A East Regional quarterfinals.

On the prowl for another Bayside title, the boys expect to advance further into the post-season. Lathroum will count on his three senior captains — goalie Brooks Gilbert, Colin May (defense) and Andrew Ternahan (attack/long pole midfield) — to lead the 27-player squad.

Lathroum said the team is strong defensively. Gilbert and May are four-year players, who will control the backfield along with senior Joe Flounlacker and newcomer, sophomore Connor May, Colin’s brother. Sophomore Will Hastings, a Worcester Prep transfer, will back up Gilbert in the goal.

“I’ll lead from my experience and I’ll have a lot of help from my defense … We have a tight group,” Gilbert said. “We all get along really well and we have good chemistry.”

Added May, “Talking is a key factor and making sure everyone’s in the right place … We’re not going to be team that

We’re not weak at any position,” he said.

“Everyone knows what they’re doing and we’re starting to click a little bit now.”

Ternahan will run the attack, with Corey Gwin, who was a contributor as a freshman last year, and newcomer Shane Moore.

“The other two attack men are both sophomores so I’m going to have to lead a little bit, but they’re definitely giving me a lot to work with and they’re really talented,” Ternahan said.

Rookie sophomore Jake Lathroum will also play on the front line.

Competing in the midfield are senior Riley McCabe, junior Jared King and sophomores Matt LeCompte and Jackson Mumford, all veterans. Newcomers, senior Henry Hastings, a Worcester Prep transfer, will join the group in the midfield, along with sophomores Craig Snyder, Evan Heim and junior Nick Moses (long pole).

“We have good size and really good speed. We have to get better each day and play as hard as we can,” Lathroum said.

has coached the Seahawks for 10 seasons. Half of the returning athletes are seniors. Decatur went 9-5 in 2012, falling in the 3A-2A South Regional semifinals to Queen Anne’s, 14-9. “They’re used to playing together as a class, now all the girls need to get used to playing with each other. We’re looking for them to mesh.”

Seniors Ashley Trice (attack wing), who has signed to play for Div. I Furman University in Greenville, S.C., and Annie Brown (defense wing) have been named captains. Both are four-year varsity players.

“I was voted team captain by the girls and that’s a big honor because it shows that they trust me and they think of me as a leader,” Trice said. “I’m just ready to have fun with all of them. It’s my last year and I just want to make it memorable.”

Added Brown, “We’ll have good leadership this year. All our seniors work together really well and it’s just a good atmosphere. We all get along really well, which makes things run smoothly.”

“We have pretty high expectations and we’re trying to meet them,” she said.

Seniors also back to compete are Kayla Terlizzi (attack wing), Eileen Hayman (center), Ali McLoota (defense) and

Alexis Martinek (home).

Senior Skylar Siegfried, who has committed to play lacrosse for Jacksonville University in Florida, returns for her second season in the goal.

Bob Musitano “As a goalie, I lead the defense, but as a senior, I also have to lead the team, as well, and motivate the girls,” she said. “Even though we lost a lot of players [to graduation], we replaced them with players who have equivalent or better lacrosse skills … So far, we look pretty good and everyone’s doing the best they can.”

Newcomers who will play big roles are sophomores Jenna Leitgeb (defense) and Payton Van Kirk (home/attack wing), junior Hannah Proctor (defense) and freshman Elle Bargar (home/center).

“I feel the season is a success if the girls reach their full potential,” Musitano said. “I’m happy right now. The girls are responding, they’re working hard and it’s fun.”

Decatur: strong pitching, solid defense Ferro says he expects ‘growing pains,’ but has faith in 2013team LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor Returning to the field for the 2013 season is senior Dallas Harrington, who will play center field and outfield positions.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

(March 22, 2013) Some new, young talent has joined Stephen Decatur Coach Rich Ferro’s roster this season. They’ll join seven veteran Seahawks on the Stephen Decatur baseball team.

“We have three seniors, four juniors, five sophomores and two freshmen, so we’re pretty evenly dispersed amongst the grades,” Ferro said. “We have young guys, but there’s some experienced guys who have been in the program a few years.”

Grant Donahue (third base/ pitcher), Justin Meekins (short stop) and Austin Dundore (util-

ity) are sophomores, but they were full-time contributors last year as freshmen, when the team went 15-4.

Rich Ferro The 2012 season ended with a 9-2 loss to Centennial in the 3A East Regional quarterfinals.

Seahawks also returning to the field are senior Dallas Harrington (center field/outfield) and junior Chase Coursey (second base/pitcher). Both have played three years for Decatur.

“Since we lost four great seniors and a lot of leadership, I feel like I have a big role to fill leading the younger kids … show[ing] them what they need to do and how to play the game right, the SD baseball way — just fundamentals, always having a good attitude and always respecting the

game,” Harrington said.

Added Coursey, “I got to come up with good seniors to teach me and help me through everything, so hopefully I can show the younger guys what I was taught.”

Senior Chase Church (outfield/second/third base) will play a much larger role this year, said Ferro, who is now in his sixth season at the helm. Freshmen utility players, Lane Dillon and Zach Adams, will also contribute.

Decatur had scrimmages last Saturday and overall, Ferro said, the games went well.

“We saw some good things and some things we need to work on. Our pitching has been strong and our overall team defense is solid,” he said.

“We’ll probably have some growing pains that we will have to work through because it’s a young group, but [the goal is] to get better every day.”

Off-season training gives Seahawks early advantage, coach says Continued from Page 39A

“They all bring something. Each one has a different attribute,” he said.

The weather hasn’t cooperated much for spring sports, but when the girls have been on the court, Greenwood said he has seen some good things.

Pope, a four-year varsity player, agreed.

“Everybody’s been playing a lot in the off-season so I think it should be a good year,” she said.

Boys’ Coach Steve Berquist welcomes back seven veterans and four newcomers. Leading the 11-player roster in the

No. 1 spot is senior Tim VanVonno, a two-year player. VanVonno competed at No. 4 singles last year, when the team went 13-3, and has moved up to the top poSteve Berquist sition for 2013.

“I worked hard in the off-season to improve my serve and ground strokes and I feel like I’m pretty well prepared,” he said. “I’m going to lead alongside [senior] Joe Iacona, the other captain, to make sure the team is improving as a whole every day.”

Berquist said Iacona, senior Jon Hastings and junior John Niedfeldt will battle for the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 positions in the line-up.

Senior Logan Simpson and juniors Chase Eslin and Zach Elmer also return.

Senior Steve Redner, junior Tyler Angelo and freshmen Logan Romberger and Christian Beres are new to the squad.

“I think we should be able to compete with everyone on our schedule. We have five seniors so we’re a senior-heavy team,” the fifth-year coach said. “We don’t have one star player like we traditionally have. Everyone’s more evenly

matched this year.”

Berquist said he is pleased with the Seahawks’ performance during preseason, which got under way March 1.

“The kids who played last year have improved. They put in time in the offseason, which is commendable,” he said.

“We have a 14-game schedule and I’d like to get 10 wins. We play Parkside, Bennett and Worcester Prep twice, which are six of our toughest matches.

We just need to take one step at a time.”

Last year, the Seahawks finished 10-6 and were led by Madison Pope, above, and Emmalee Murrell. Greenwood said the two will battle it out each week to see who will play in the Nos. 1 and 2 singles spots.

REAL ESTATE REPORT

Good Farm seeks willing volunteers

Roundtable discussion LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer (March 22, 2013) Earlier this month, the National Association of Realtors held a roundtable discussion with executives from three leading lenders: Chase Mortgage Banking, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and Quicken Loans.

The discussion covered the difficulties buyers face when trying to obtain mortgage financing, what it will take to get private mortgage capital back into the market in a significant way, and how lenders expect new and upcoming federal rules in mortgage financing to affect origination, underwriting and servicing processes.

The discussion opened up with references to the qualified mortgage (QM) rule, which takes effect in early 2014 and requires lenders to make loans only to borrowers who have a reasonable ability to repay the loan. All three lenders made reference to a transitional period ahead as the new rules are implemented as well as interpreted, with Joseph Rogers of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage stating, “QM goes into effect Jan. 14, 2014, but that does not mean that all of us on the day will start to implement. We have technology, underwriting and training to do … it’ll be an educational process for all of us in the industry.”

Related to this QM rule, an area that came up in the discussion was about the difficulty self-employed borrowers face.

“They will have to provide financial statements for many years and more,” said Shawn Krause of Quicken Loans. “Even training is in question.

How much has a person had in training so lenders can know if they can really continue in their role? It’s about a hundred pages of underwriting interpretations.”

Another important discussion topic affecting our local market was condo lending. The NAR moderator asked, “When will we see more private capital purchase participation in a space like condos where there has been a restriction among Fannie, Freda and FHA?” The Chase Mortgage Banking representative, Saber Salem, pointed out, “If the building doesn’t have the resources to maintain itself, it’s not a good situation for the consumer. It’s in the best interest of the consumer to make sure that condo projects meet agency guidelines because it actually opens up liquidity for everyone.”

But, he mentioned that depending on the condominium and on their relationship with the customer, Chase is making some adjustments in terms of how they look at some condo projects.

Bonita Beach Hotel on 81st Street is the newest member of the Carousel Group, which includes the Carousel Oceanfront Hotel & Condominiums on 118th Street, the Coastal Palms Inn & Suites on 120th Street and the Atlantic Oceanfront on 45th Street.

NEW MANAGEMENT Bonita Beach on 81st Street joins Carousel Group LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 22, 2013) Bonita Beach Hotel on 81st Street and Coastal Highway is the newest property in Ocean City to be managed by the Carousel Group.

The Carousel Group includes the Carousel Oceanfront Hotel & Condominiums on 118th Street, the Coastal Palms Inn & Suites on 120th Street and the Atlantic Oceanfront on 45th Street. All four are Hospitality Partners (a Bethesda-based privately owned hotel management company) properties that operate under the umbrella of the Carousel Group.

The company took over management of the Bonita Beach property in mid-February.

“We’re happy to work with [owners] Mr. [George] and Mrs. [Earla] Conner. It’s a wonderful, beautifully designed hotel and we’re happy to market it through the Carousel Group,” said Michael James, managing partner for the day-to-day operations of the Carousel Group. James, who joined Hospitality Partners in 1989, was named the company’s president and CEO in January.

“It’s a dynamite property and we’ll be able to maximize its full potential.”

The 10-year-old, five-story building is undergoing some

interior renovations, and the exterior will be repainted. The hotel is scheduled to open the weekend of April 5-6.

“We’re preparing it for the season,” James said. “By summer, it will look like a brandnew building.”

The property features an indoor pool, exercise facility, third-floor atrium/sitting area and sun deck. The 100 rooms have either two queen beds or a king bed, sleep sofa and a kitchenette with full-size refrigerator and microwave. Each room has an ocean and/or bay view from its private balcony.

“I’m impressed with how nice the views are from the rooms,” James said. “From any floor you can see the bay and the ocean.”

Bonita Beach will be integrated into the Carousel Group marketing and reservations system.

Hospitality Partners purchased the Carousel Resort Hotel & Condominiums on 118th Street in 2000 and spent millions of dollars on repairs and renovations.

On July 14, 2011, the company bought the Atlantic Oceanfront Inn on 45th Street and the beach.

“We thought it was such a great location. We wanted to expand and we were happy to find the property,” James said last May. The property was in foreclosure and since it was purchased in the middle of the summer,

no work could be done on the hotel at the time. But when it closed for the season in October 2011, preventative maintenance, repairs and renovations began.

The 51 rooms and nine suites in the boutique-style fivefloor hotel opened with all of its upgrades on April 13, 2012.

Coastal Palms Inn & Suites (previously the Serene Hotel) on 120th Street and Coastal Highway was purchased in November 2011. The property received a top-to-bottom facelift.

“It was an elaborate job,” James said last May. “We bought the hotel and we started [renovations] immediately.”

Coastal Palms has 94 rooms plus a beach house, which made the deal even more enticing.

One of the buildings is home to 60 rooms. The second features 34 suites.

“The most surprising thing about this hotel is how good the views are,” James said.

“On the fourth and fifth floors you have views of the ocean and the bay. It’s a great piece of real estate.”

The five-floor hotel opened on May 4, 2012 and the 60room building was immediately full.

Several benefits of the Carousel Resort have been extended to guests of the other properties. Vacation packages See JAMES on Page 46A

(March 22, 2013) Volunteers expecting to reap what they sow have been planting vegetables at a community co-op farm near Berlin.

They are participating in the “working share only” Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, project at Mariner’s Country Down, a recreated, tiny 19th century village in the woods off Sinepuxent Road.

“I’m more interested in creating community value than farm profit,” said Christie McDowell, who runs The Good Farm with friend Ric Gresia.

In a typical CSA, people “buy in” ahead of time and then get vegetables, usually on a weekly basis. At The Good Farm, volunteers will get vegetables in exchange for their time and talents. McDowell calls that the Community Wellness Program.

“We’d like them to be here for four hours working,” McDowell said Saturday.

“By having people come out to the farm and give of themselves, we hope to see a positive change in the soil health, community health and further build the farm.”

Not only is traditional growing help such as soil preparation, seeding, weeding, transplanting, harvesting, washing and packing produce needed, but The Good Farm welcomes trades with anyone who would like to assist with marketing, social networking, building skills, help at the farmers market and so forth.

She doesn’t expect the volunteers to take more than they can use. The mindset of people who are volunteering is that they do not want to see waste. So far, she has about 20 volunteers for The Good Farm this season.

Those volunteers, ranging in age from 4 to 60-something, have built a small seed-starting greenhouse, cleaned out an old corn crib, organized planting supplies and started seedling See MUSHROOMS on Page 46A

Mushrooms, sea kale, chicory and berries added to farm line-up one could pay $100 and they would receive $120 worth of produce that they select.

“You can pick what you want at the Ocean Pines Farmers Market or you can come here [to The Good Farm],” McDowell said. “That way, you get what you use.”

McDowell, a registered nurse who works two days each week at Dorchester General Hospital in Cambridge, expects to be at the farm four or five days weekly.

When she is not there, others will be present “to oversee the growing operations.”

trays. They have also planted 14 varieties of potatoes and spent time weeding the garlic.

By volunteering and being part of the process, volunteers will leave the farm with whatever food is available for harvesting that day. Also, all produce not sold at farmers markets will be available for distribution to volunteers.

For people without the time or inclination to work at the farm, there is a farmers market co-op account. People pre-pay to get a 20 percent premium. For example, some-

said she is a local food proponent who feels that better health can be found between the garden and the kitchen without so many trips to the grocery store.

After attending a food detox program held by Chef Gretchen Hansen at Hobo’s Restaurant in Rehoboth, Del., her eyes were opened, she said, to the unnecessary illness that comes from eating so much processed food. She believes people bring stress and illness into their lives through poor food and work choices.

For the past couple of years, McDowell leased land on Route 611 one mile north of Frontier Town for The Good Farm.

Last years, she started growing vegetable at Mariner’s Country Down at 11341 Sinepuxent Road. This year, she will grow vegetables only at the Mariner’s Country Down site. She also has a couple of goats there and will get more.

The Good Farm this year is leaning toward more permaculture design, the core elements of which are to take care of the earth, take care of the people and share the surplus.

“The Good Farm will be trying to incorporate permaculture techniques more closely related to gardening and farming,” Gresia said. “This includes incorporating food crops that are perennial plants that mimic natural plant communities such as forest gardens to maximize yield and minimize labor and other inputs while improving the ecosystem health.”

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

Christie McDowell welcomes volunteers to work at The Good Farm.

The permaculture focus is serving as an educational conduit bringing several new plants to the farm this year. In addition to adding mushrooms to the line-up of life at the farm, Egyptian walking onions, ramps, sea kale, sea beets, sorrels, lovage, chicory, ground cherries, nut trees and more berries will be added.

“Our goal is to continue to add properties in Ocean City and grow down here as well as in Baltimore and Washington [D.C],” James said. “The Carousel Group is a real growth point of our company moving forward. Ocean City will become a bigger part of the company as we grow.”

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 22, 2013) This weekend’s Metro-Maryland Youth For Christ IMPACT High School Conference at the Ocean City convention center is expected to draw approximately 3,000 high school students, parents and youth group leaders.

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of seminars, workshops, concerts, exhibits and prayer at the 40th Street venue.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Beneath the Surface.”

“With everybody, especially kids, things may look great on the surface, but on the inside they may feel pain and loneliness. The different sessions will focus on that theme … such as how to deal with what’s going on inside of you and the importance of having God in your life,” said Metro-Maryland Youth For Christ Executive Director Robert Arnold. “We’ve got a really great conference. Between all the bands, speakers and other activities, there’s a lot going on. It’s going to be an exciting weekend.”

The three-day IMPACT conference will feature regional and national entertainers, including hip hop artist Tedashii, Rend Collective Experiment, Manic Drive, Group1Crew, Seventh Day Slumber and Audio Adrenaline.

National youth speakers Mike Pilavachi and Preston Centuolo, youth work trainer Dr. Duffy Robbins and adult trainer Mark Yaconelli will talk with students and adults addressing a variety of issues faced daily.

Knorr said each brewery will offer several beers for sampling.

“As a brewery owner, I like the event because there will be representatives from each brewery and we’ll get to hang out, talk shop and drink each other’s beer,” Knorr said.

“The people attending will get a chance to talk to brewery representatives, See ON TAP on Page 13B

(March 22, 2013) The Sons of Italy Lodge of Ocean City and St Luke’s Catholic Church will present their third annual St. Joseph Festival on Saturday, March 23, at St. Andrew’s Hall on 144th Street in Ocean City.

The festival will be from noon to 7 p.m., and there is no admission fee.

Proceeds from the first two festivals have benefited the parishes and local charities sponsored by the Sons of Italy Lodge of Ocean City. Among the beneficiaries were Atlantic General Hospital, Alzheimer’s National Research Fund, Worcester County Humane Society, Diakonia, Cooley’s Anemia, Worcester County G.O.L.D., Relay for Life and Home of the Brave.

Because of the success of those festivals, the Sons of Italy Lodge has been able to increase its annual scholarship this year from $1,000 to $1,200. Beneficiaries of the scholarship will be one student from Stephen Decatur, Indian River and Sussex Central High Schools.

The festival is held in honor of St Joseph, the patron saint of workers, the Universal church and Sicily. Similar festivals are held throughout the country in locations with a significant Italian population.

Attendees have the opportunity to purchase ravioli and meatball platters, sausage and meatball subs, salad and minestrone soup. Those with a sweet tooth can purchase cannoli, zeppole (St. Joseph Day cakes) and home-baked goods.

Like Father Like Son will provide musical entertainment for the day, and there will be free games for the children and a face painter. Adults will have the opportunity to play games and purchase St. Joseph-related religious articles and Italian clothing and cookbooks.

Gold brings mix of magic,humor to annual Gala Fundraiser benefits Beach Respite Housing Program LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (March 22, 2013) Until last year, Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Beach Respite Housing Program had always featured a musical act during its spring gala.

In 2012, instead of a band, “International Champion of Magic” John George provided the entertainment for the 11th annual gala at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street and Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Beach Respite Housing Program, said the change was a huge success.

Comedian and magician Bruce Gold is set to headline the 12th annual gala, scheduled for Friday, April 12, at the Clarion.

“Last year was strictly magic and this year, it’s magic and comedy,” Littleton said. “Last year went great. It was, by far, the best event we’ve had. Everyone was in a good mood and happy when they left, and I hope this year will turnout just like last year.”

The 2013 fundraiser for Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Respite Housing Program, which provides critically ill children and their families a much-needed getaway to the beach from the everyday stresses of a child’s medical illness, will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m. followed by a sit-down dinner. Sweet Disposition of Selbyville, Del. will provide the desserts.

The gala is black tie-optional and will include silent, live and “top hat” auctions featuring weekend getaways, hotel stays, catered dinner parties, sports memorabilia, jewelry, artwork and gift baskets, among other items.

“We’ll have a little bit of everything,” Littleton said. “We’ve got some affordable stuff and some high-dollar items.”

Music will be provided by DJ BK. JJ Roth of 93.5 The Beach will be the gala emcee.

The “Hero by the Sea” award will be presented to a longtime supporter Pete Meeks, owner of Delaware Elevator.

Meeks is spearheading the project of installing a full-service elevator in the Believe In Tomorrow House By The Sea four-unit apartment building on 66th Street. Meeks has donated the elevator.

The building currently has a wheelchair lift. Because it is exposed to the salt air, the lift is prone to mechanical issues and rust. The lift only goes up to the first floor of the facility so just one unit is handicap accessible. With a full-service elevator, the three units on the second floor will be handicap accessible, as well.

“It’s something we really need here,” Littleton said.

Several families who take advantage of the program’s services will attend the gala. One mother will talk about her family’s experience with the organization.

Billed as “Clean, Clever, Comedy & Magic,” Gold will take the stage after dinner. Gold, who at the age of 12 discovered he was related to Harry Houdini, has appeared in comedy clubs across the country and on the world’s largest cruise ships. He has been featured on more than a dozen TV shows, including Evening At The Improv, Oprah and the 1980s-90s sitcom Full House. Gold also showed off his talent in an award-winning “Got milk?” television commercial.

Proceeds from the April 12 event will help pay for upkeep of the organization’s three resort facilities, as well as fund activities such as cookouts for the children and their families who stay at one of the houses.

The resort facilities include a fourunit apartment building on 66th Street; a house on the bay at 28th Street, the

first respite house in the country to focus on the needs of military pediatrics; and a townhouse in Fenwick Island, Del. Rarely is there a time when the facilities are empty. Six families fill the houses each week throughout the summer, typically from mid-May through September. In the off-season — the winter, spring and fall — at least three or four families on average stay at the facilities each week.

Last year, approximately 176 families vacationed at the houses, Littleton said.

Tickets for the gala cost $75 per person, or $150 per couple. The deadline to purchase tickets is April 5. Only 210 tickets will be sold. Approximately 100 tickets remain.

For additional information, call Littleton at 410-723-2842. To learn more about Gold, visit www.brucegold.com.

Chefs encouraged to take risks,test culinary skills is to ask your butcher to custom order one.

Another option is going online.

The next consideration is how you are going to cook the pig.

A small suckling pig can be cooked in an oven, but ideally, the back of the pig should be facing up to maximize the surface area for the crisping of the skin. A large rotisserie yields great results and is my personal favorite.

Once you have selected the pig, keep it well chilled until ready to use. A cooler filled with ice also works well. Brining the pork enhances the tenderness and juiciness of the meat. Simply place the meat and brining solution in a doubled, large trash bag and tie securely. When ready to cook, make sure the meat is rinsed completely and dry completely.

Then, it is a matter of stuffing the pork, trussing the entire pig, and securely placing it on the rotisserie. The meat should cook until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Do not forget to score the skin. This process induces crunchy skin and at the same time allows marinades to permeate the pork. The meat needs to rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.

For those whose appetite does not include a whole pig, how about taking a

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Want challenge? Consider preparing suckling piglet DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (March 22, 2013) Expanding one’s repertoire is always the goal of a chef. But how far do you dare to take risks and test your culinary skills? If you are up for a challenge, consider the art of cooking a suckling pig.

It is really not as hard as one thinks.

The main concerns are a good source for the meat, how to achieve crispy skin, and the proper roasting apparatus. Trying new ideas are fun, so let us take a clear look at a tradition that stretches back to the days of the cavemen.

The pig is one of the first animals domesticated by humans for slaughter; as a result, the sweet, succulent meat is popular in many cultures. A suckling pig is a young pig that is still drinking its mother’s milk. In cookery, a suckling pig is butchered between the ages of two to six weeks. The young pigs contain an abundance of collagen. As the connective tissue is heated, it converts to gelatin, which yields more succulent pork than its elders.

more simple approach and partake in pig’s feet? It still gives one the sense of gastronomic adventure, but is not quite as involved.

Creating a homemade stock of pork, ham, chicken bones, garlic, onions, celery, kosher salt and peppercorns induces an aromatic foundation for the hooves.

Before the pig’s feet can simmer in the strained, aromatic stock, slice in halflengthwise and boil them in water for 15 minutes to remove any impurities. Rinse thoroughly.

Place pig’s feet in stock and add 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper seeds, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 4 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon pickling spice, 1 tablespoon bacon drippings, several splashes of white vinegar, 1 stalk chopped celery, 1/2 chopped yellow onion, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 chopped green pepper and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Cover and simmer for at least four hours.

Every 45 minutes, carefully turn over the feet.

When cooked, allow the pig’s feet to cool. Carefully place pig’s feet over a bed of sautéed kale. The dark green showcases a southern tradition to it’s fullest.

Ocean Pines Players tackle age-old dilemma: what makes women tick?

SHEILA R. CHERRY ■ Associate Editor/Bayside Gazette

PHOTO COURTESY OCEAN PINES PLAYERS

Barbara Gallagher, right, restrains Sharon Sorrentino in an emotional scene durng the comedy “Dear Hortense.” Standing by to help is Paul Kahn.

CROSSWORD

Answers on page 9B

(March 22, 2013) The Ocean Pines Players will perform “Dear Hortense,” at the Ocean Pines Country Club next month, April 11-14. The comedy, about a fictionalized advice columnist, is the troupe’s second production by local playwright Robert O. Davis.

The story focuses on newspaper reporter Don Taylor, who lands a plum gig as an advice-to-the-lovelorn columnist with the nom de plume “Hortense,” only to discover that his new post makes him morally responsible for the happiness of hundreds of his followers.

Worse, Taylor finds himself in the un-

tenable position of being a man, posing as a woman, offering advice to women, about how men think, as his readers offer up one quirky problem relationship after another. As the show’s promoters pointed out, when the only answer seems to be finding out what makes women tick — the puzzle that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time — things can get pretty complicated for the story’s protagonist, portrayed by Sam Barnes in the starring role. Barnes is a chef in real life, but also has racked up more than 10 years of acting experience.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for the Thursday through Saturday evening performances that begin at 8 p.m. Doors open at 2 p.m.

A Southern-style barbecue spread will be offered.

“I think this event sets the pace for the season. It’s a chance for people to get together and hang out before the [busy summer] season kicks in,” Knorr said.

“It’s the last kickoff before the season gets into full swing.”

The cost to take part in the beer festival is $37 in advance and $42 at the door.

Early reservations encouraged for April ‘Dear Hortense’shows Continued from Page 12B

for the Sunday matinee that starts at 3 p.m.

Tickets cost $24 and include the show and light fare. A cash bar is available and there will be live musical entertainment and art displays. Seating is limited, and reservations are required. To make ticket reservations, call Karen at 410-600-0462.

Early reservations were recommended.

The cast is an eclectic mix of veteran and new performers, several of whom are transplants to the area, a few retirees and others who have kept their day jobs.

So the evenings and weekends of making rehearsals and memorizing of lines have been for their love of the theatre.

The director is native New Yorker Don Klein, who retired to the Eastern Shore after a journalism career in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The assis-

tant director is Judy Nelson, fresh off her role in a hit radio play performed with an affiliate troupe in February, in which she starred with Charlie Sorrentino, a retired police officer and U.S. Treasury official and the producer of “Dear Hortense.”

Barbara Gallagher, who appears as Dolly, and Heidi McNeely, who plays Tulip, have movie bragging rights as both appeared as extras in the Berlin filming of “Runaway Bride.” Gallagher will play an apartment building manager who talks to her dead husband.

She is originally from Baltimore and comes from a family of performers. Her late father was a long-time announcer in both the Baltimore and Philadelphia radio markets and her late brother was a gifted comedian who tragically died with music legend Jim Croce and five other

performers in a plane crash in 1973.

McNeeley is a registered nurse who says she has always been drawn to the stage. Originally from Columbia, Md., she joked she was on her way to New York when she got derailed by marriage in Berlin. As Tulip, McNeeley plays a ditzy floozy, who, she says, “has been around the block a few times.”

Marriage brought Charlie and Sharon Sorrentino to Berlin as well. Sharon Sorrentino, a former school teacher, said as a youth she came to stay at the Hitch Apartments in Ocean City with her family for vacation every year. As a couple, the Sorrentinos fell in love with the cheaper cost of living and slower pace of the area, so they relocated, she said.

Sharon will portray the wacky psychic Etoile Cross; no doubt Francophiles will

get the tongue-in-cheek pun: “Star” Cross.

This will be a debut performance for Paul Kahn, a hotel manager, and Felecia Zakan, a Web site designer. Kahn will play the character Mick and Zakan will perform the role of Terri. Retired fed Larry Walton will perform as Rocky.

Cynthia Walston is a mortgage loan officer by day, but during the nights of the performance, she will play Grace, a proper, well-connected socialite.

Klein said his friend, author Davis, is a talented playwright who has written at least 18 plays. Klein even appeared in a cameo role in one of Davis’s other plays, he said. He called “Dear Hortense” “remarkably funny.”

Additional information on the Ocean Pines Players is available at their Website at www.oceanpinesplayers.org.

and characters on two half-mile trails, similar to a haunted hayride. At each stop along the trail, a group will perform a short skit pulled from a well-known tale. This year’s theme is “Fairy” Tales & Trails, so all skits must come from fairytales or similar stories, such as Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella or Peter Pan. Schools, community groups or organizations are welcome to take part. They

are also welcome to set up an informational table or offer other activities with a fairytale theme (such as Robin Hood’s archery) on the main activity area. There will be food, a bonfire for toasting marshmallows and other activities.
