Contract renewal given advertising firm without bids Three-year extension voted for MGH as city’s choice

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) A minor row erupted at City Hall this week over council’s apparent decision to circumvent its own spending policies, to the tune of $826,488, to make allowances for its long-time advertising representative.

In a four-to-one decision – made in closed session and without previous public discussion - City Council granted MGH Advertising a three-year contract extension at the agency’s current rate of $22,598 per month, instead of soliciting competitive-price bids.

With council members Margaret Pillas and Joe Mitrecic absent, Councilman Brent Ashley was the only dissenting vote.

“I voted not to go into closed session and I voted against the unsolicited proposal from a single agency,” Ashley said See MGH Page 3

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Emergency responders rushed a Timonium man off of the beach at 82nd Street around noon Wednesday after a bodysurfing incident left him face down in the water, Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin said.

They could not find a pulse after they pulled him to shore and treated him with five rounds of CPR before he began coughing up water, rescuing lifeguard Robert Phiambolis said.

His heartbeat returned by the time medical staff carried him from the beach on a bodyboard to be medevaced from

“I was just finishing my scan up to the north and saw him lying face first” in the surf about 10 yards from shore, Phiambolis said.

When he rushed to the water, several beachgoers joined in the rescue.

“I saw the lifeguard drop everything and run and I saw a body in the water,” said Derek Perdue, of Parsonsburg.

“He was face down. The guy wasn’t breathing,” said John Hughes, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Based on the victim’s bleeding nose and forehead, beach patrol staff treated See MAN Page 5

MGH renewed sans outside bids

Continued from Page 1 after the vote was announced, noting that the city’s procurement policy requires competitive bidding on all values above $10,000.

Council has the right to waive competitive bidding and proceed with solesource procurement in special circumstances. But such a motion would not itself be a contractual negotiation, and thus must be done publicly.

“If the council wants to change that policy, it has to be done in open session and not behind closed doors,” Ashley protested. “Until you vote to change that policy out front, it’s still the policy.”

Ashley then motioned to issue MGH with the necessary notice of potential termination, and request competitive bids. The motion was not seconded.

“Shocker,” Ashley quipped.

MGH has been the city’s marketing firm for the past 11 years, coordinating the resort’s public presence outside the island with everything from TV ads in Pennsylvania to billboards on the Jersey Turnpike. The company last signed an agreement with the town in 2010, following a competitive selection process.

In 2012, council came close to doing another competitive bid process – but was lobbied against doing so by the city’s Tourism Advisory Board and city staff who believed they would not have enough time to make an informed selection before MGH’s contract expired.

Further, the political makeup and

methodology of City Hall has changed sharply since then.

“That was a different council, and that council did not have commissions,” said Council Secretary and Tourism Commission Chair Mary Knight. “The motion [to accept the three year extension offer] was made by our partners on the commission.”

“They were in support of this and were very positive,” Knight said. “I think it would be irresponsible for this council to turn a deaf ear to them.”

However, Ashley pressed, the vote taken in 2012 to hold off on a competitive bid also came with the caveat that the advertising contract would be rebid in 2013 – which it was not, for reasons that have never fully been explained.

“Let me remind you that five members of the council who voted for this the last time are still up here,” Ashley said, referring to himself, Pillas, Knight, Doug Cymek, and Lloyd Martin. “The council sets policy, not the Tourism Commission.”

“I do have to change my mind when our partners [on the commission] come to us,” Martin said. “It’s what we do to support them.”

“I have no problem with the council changing its direction, but it should be done openly,” Ashley argued.

This will be the second year in a row in which the city has only revealed it has granted a contract extension to MGH after the deal has been signed.

Although the contract was slated to be re-bid last year, it was only after inquires by this newspaper that it was made known that the notification deadline for a re-bidding had not been met, and MGH’s contract had been extended.

The 2012 motion to rebid the contract last year has still never been rescinded, at least officially. However, there is clear political interest in keeping – or not keeping – MGH as the city’s marketing agent, since it is also the city’s de-facto PR agency.

Any successes touted by MGH are also City Hall’s successes, given that the town government itself is the primary destination marketing agency in the resort and typically takes the bulk of the responsibility, positive or negative, for the health of the tourism economy.

But this tight relationship, Ashley argued, shouldn’t be a reason to just accept whatever cost MGH pitches not price-shop for a better contract.

“This is not a popularity contest with MGH or with the Tourism Commission,” he said. “The council has a fiduciary duty to get the best deal, and we haven’t done that.”

The $22,958 monthly cost represents MGH’s own fee for its services.

The agency handles roughly $5 million of city funds each year in purchasing advertising space and marketing materials, including the agency’s signature “Rodney the Lifeguard” campaign.

County adopts area sanitary service fees

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Seven of the county’s 11 sanitary service areas have no changes in user frees in the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Fund adopted June 18.

The service areas with no changes in user fees are Ocean Pines, West Ocean City, Assateague Point, The Landings, Mystic Harbour, Light-

house Sound and River Run. Ratepayers in the Briddletown sanitary service area will have an increase from $55.50 to $61 per EDU (equivalent dwelling unit, the same approximately amount of water and sewer flow used for an average single-family residence) per quarter domestic flat rate and from $20 to $22 per quarter domestic pool fee and from $25 to $50 per quarter domestic

Man, victim of bodysurfing mishap, rescued by OCBP Continued from Page 1 him for neck injuries, Arbin said.

“Whether he has a bloody nose or a broken neck… we treat him the same and let the hospitals diagnose him,” he said.

Phiambolis used a practiced beach patrol technique where the rescuer uses his own body as a backboard to swim the victim to shore, immobilizing the head and neck as much as possible.

Though the surf wasn’t rough and the victim’s wife said he body surfs often, it is likely he hit his head on the shallow bottom, Arbin said.

“The guy’s fine one minute and suddenly he’s motionless in the surf,” he said. “You catch one great wave and the

next thing you know, your feet are over your head.”

After the victim was carried off the beach and bystanders dispersed, the beach patrol’s priority was to comfort his wife and help direct her to the hospital, he said.

Beach patrol veteran Bill Wise was on the beach during the rescue and called Phiambolis’ actions a “textbook” case.

“He was on it so fast,” Wise said. “It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come.”

“I thought he was dead when we pulled him out of the water,” Perdue said. “I’m glad they were able to revive him.”

Documentary film’s promo campaign starts (June 27, 2014) SaveFarmFamilies.org announced on June 5 the launch of a promotional campaign for its upcoming documentary on the environmental activist lawsuit against the Hudson Family Farm near Berlin and the continuing threat that misguided efforts by environmental extremists pose to family farmers, not just in Maryland but across the nation.

The documentary – “Collateral Damage: Farm Families” – reviews the questionable political and academic actions that enabled the New York-based Waterkeeper Alliance to push forward with its lawsuit against the Hudson family, even after the Maryland Department of the Environment reviewed and rejected the Waterkeepers’ allegations of chicken manure pollution at the farm. The

film also contains interviews with a wide variety of members of Maryland’s agricultural community and outside observers, who speak to the emotional toll on Alan Hudson and his family as well as the broader damage done to the relationship between farmers and responsible environmental groups.

“Unfortunately, the Hudson lawsuit has made farmers wary of cooperating with government or conservation groups,” said Chuck Fry, Maryland Farm Bureau President. “Extremists like the Waterkeepers are actually hampering efforts to find the middle ground in the discussion over preserving both the Bay and farm viability.”

“The introduction of the Poultry Fair Share Act, Maryland legislation to place a 5- cent per bird tax on every

chicken placed in Maryland chicken houses, shows that groups inside and outside of government are still pursuing their anti-modern agriculture, anti-poultry agenda,” said Bill Satterfield, Delmarva Poultry Industry Inc. “It’s important that groups like Save Farm Families continue to remind not only the farming community but the larger community about the damage that could be done not just to one farm family, but to many, many farm families if Big Environment is successful.”

The documentary reveals the motives and relationships behind the failed Waterkeeper Alliance lawsuit against a fourth-generation Maryland family farm. Their strategy was unveiled at the 2007 Waterkeeper Alliance Poultry Summit by speakers Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Attorney

General Doug Gansler and Dr. Jane Barrett of the University of Maryland Environmental Law Clinic, according to SaveFarmFamilies.org.

During the next five years, a Maryland family farm was pushed close to bankruptcy and the Hudsons had their lives upended.

The promotional campaign includes a 60-second trailer airing on cable stations in many of Maryland’s farm communities and promoted across commonly used digital platforms such as YouTube. The trailer may also be viewed at www.savefarmfamilies.org.

Screenings of the documentary film are planned for this summer and fall at meetings of supporters from Maryland’s farm community. The film will also be showcased digitally at SaveFarmFamilies.org. SaveFarmFamilies.org released the trailer in the days leading up to Father’s Day to highlight the efforts of Alan Hudson as a father trying to protect his family and his family’s farm.

The documentary film and the promotion effort have been underwritten by SaveFarmFamilies.org as part of its continuing education campaign about the dangerous activities of extremist litigious environmental groups such as the Waterkeeper Alliance. A significant portion of the funding came from court costs received from the Waterkeepers.

Suspect enters penthouse, eats spaghetti, drinks wine

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) A 24-year-old Falls Church, Va., man was charged June 22 with first- and fourth-degree burglary plus two counts of theft of a item valued at less than $100 after he allegedly entered a penthouse where he cooked and ate spaghetti, drank wine, used a bed and L. Machado-Rivera used a hot tub on the patio.

Three employees and the manager of the motel, where the penthouse is located, chased the man and held him until police arrived. Shortly before that, a motel employee called police to report that a man was inside the penthouse smoking a controlled dangerous substance and drinking alcohol.

The suspect, Ludrwin Alexi Machado-Rivera, was out of breath from running when police arrived.

During questioning by police, Machado-Rivera reportedly said he had jumped a fence that was blocking access to the roof. He climbed over a gate and then climbed the stairs leading to the roof, where he followed a path to the patio. He said he didn’t think anyone was staying in the penthouse.

Machado-Rivera also said he was on the patio for a short period of time and talked to a woman who was below the patio. He said he did not enter the patio.

The motel’s manager saw the intruder on the patio and confronted him. The suspect walked down to the ground level, followed by the manager. The suspect then decided to run from the manager, who gave chase after him.

While the officer was talking to Machado-Rivera, the suspect began

vomiting. An officer took MachadoRivera to police headquarters for booking and the officer who had talked to him went to the penthouse to check its condition. The sliding glass door to the patio was ajar.

Inside the living room on a table was a plate of food. According to the charging document, some food had been eaten. A bottle of liquor, a cork on a cork remover and two glasses were on the coffee table and the television was turned on.

In the kitchen, two pots, one of which contained angel hair spaghetti, were on the stove. The box for the spaghetti, other items of food and two partially consumed cans of beer were on the counter.

Bed sheets in the three bedrooms were in disarray and a bath had been drawn in the master bathroom.

On the north patio, a wine glass was on the ground near the hot tub and a partially smoked cigarette was next to the glass. A pack of cigarettes was nearby.

On a chaise lounge, the officer found a pair of socks and two pairs of boxers.

The officer returned to police headquarters and spoke with MachadoRivera again.

During this conversation, the suspect admitted entering the penthouse and said he did it for the view, according to the charging document. He said drank some wine from the refrigerator.

When the officer asked him if he had prepared a plate of spaghetti or any other food, Machado-Rivera said he had not. He also said he had not eaten since the previous night when he had eggs and something from Burger King.

The officer then told MachadoRivera that when he had vomited earlier, pieces of spaghetti and corn were evident.

Treated wastewater to irrigate golf course OC, county ink agreement to facilitate greens, fairways at Eagle’s Landing course

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Forget the fancy clubs and expensive balls – the best way to improve your golf game now is to flush more.

Under an agreement signed this week between the Town of Ocean City and Worcester County, treated wastewater from the county’s new sewer plant at Mystic Harbor will be used to water the fairways and greens at Eagle’s Landing, the city-owned golf course.

City leaders stressed this week that the town was not, in fact, getting the brown end of the stick out of the un-

usual symbiosis.

In exchange for 40 years of easement rights to pipe wastewater under and onto Eagle’s Landing, the county will be footing the bill to build the new, state-of-the-art irrigation system needed to do so. Worcester will also pay for water and sewer hook-ups at other nearby city facilities, at a total package cost of over $2 million.

“I’m looking forward to the project,” said city Public Works Director Hal Adkins. “I do think it’s one of the best things that have recently been worked out between the town and the county.”

The irrigation system alone is worth $1.2 million, Adkins explained, and will provide total, “wall-to-wall” coverage of the course rather than just running down the middle of fairway like the current system.

That system has not seen a major overhaul since Eagle’s Landing was built in 1991, Adkins noted, and golf course staff have been “band-aiding” the plumbing along for some years.

“It’s roughly $1.2 million in value at the expense of the Mystic Harbor sewer district, and not the Mayor and City Council of Ocean City,” Adkins said.

Additionally, the city will get a onetime cash payment of $185,000 for spraying rights - i.e., use of the 800 sprinkler heads slated to be installed.

The county will also pay for design services and ancillary costs such as road replacements.

Further, and most critically, the county will be connecting all of the city buildings at Eagle’s Landing and the municipal airport to county sewer and water services. These facilities have been operating on wells and septic tanks for the last two decades, including the building the city leases to the Worcester County Humane Society.

“We have a failing septic system at the animal shelter and we’ve been pumping that out for years now in anticipation of getting sewer,” Mayor Rick Meehan noted. “That alone saves us $35,000 a year.”

Normally, the agency in charge of a sewer and water system will charge developers for the increased load and infrastructure expansion needed for new service areas. However, the

county will be waiving the $266,784 fee for the 32 EDU (equivalent dwelling unit) capacity of the town facilities, as well as $245,760 in future monthly EDU charges over the next 40 years.

By using treated effluent as irrigation water, the county will nearly eliminate the need for the current injection wells at Mystic Harbor, which are costly to operate and maintain and have significant environmental issues associated with them.

Only in times of peak use, when the holding ponds at Eagle’s Landing are full, would effluent be diverted to the injection wells where it would be forced back underground. Currently, all wastewater from the plant is dispersed in this manner.

Putting such a concentration of treated effluent, which is often high in certain salts and nutrients, directly into underground water sources can have an adverse impact on water quality and the marine ecosystem.

“This is an issue that’s been on our radar for a long time, with what was really a failed injection well system at Mystic Harbor,” said Maryland Coastal Bays Executive Director Dave Wilson. “We have seen a decline in water quality in the Sinepuxent due to injection wells.”

Meehan said the completion of the agreement – nearly five years after a See GOLF Page 9

Foundation offers local nonprofits grant writing info

(June 27, 2014) The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore will be conducting a grant writing information session for local nonprofit organizations on Tuesday, July 8, from 10 a.m. to noon.

The purpose of this session is twofold: to provide basic grant writing techniques and in addition, review the program guidelines and the application format for the Community Needs Program.

Community Foundation staff will be available to answer questions regarding the submission of proposals.

The Community Needs Program provides financial support for charitable programs that benefit the residents of Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties.

Grants of up to $5,000 are available to nonprofit, government and faith-based programs.

The next deadline for applications for the Community Needs Grant Program is Aug. 1 and funds will be awarded in October.

For more information, contact Heather Towers, CFES program officer at 410-742-9911, or visit www.cfes.org.

In fiscal year 2013, the foundation distributed $5.4 million to nonprofits in the community.

Gifts to the Community Foundation, a public charity, create permanent endowment funds that steadily grow in value over time and produce income for grants to local charitable nonprofit organizations.

Golf course to use wastewater from treatment plant Continued from Page 8 spray irrigation deal had initially been discussed – represented “brighter days” for the county-city dynamic, which is often strained over funding issues.

“Over the years our ability to partner with the county has been limited,” Meehan said. “I think this is a tremendous accomplishment. I think it shows the Mayor and City Council and the County Commissioners are making progress in working together.”

Although not officially linked to the wastewater deal, the city and county are also expected to reach an agreement in the coming weeks that will transfer the deed to the public park between 3rd and 4th Streets in Ocean City from the county to the town.

Without rights to the space, the city would not be able to borrow the funds needed for the improvement project planned for the site, which includes the expansion of the Ocean Bowl Skate Park.

Voter turnout reaches low of 20 percent for primaries Great weather, diversity of candidates still could not draw high numbers to polls

OCEAN CITY TODAY/JOSH DAVIS

Turnout was historically low during Tuesday’s primary election in Worcester County. Of the 31,792 registered voters in Worcester County just 6,424 cast ballots.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Voter apathy was the big winner during Tuesday’s primary election in Worcester County.

Historically low turnout, even for an off-year primary, plagued polling places across the county.

At Buckingham Presbyterian Church in Berlin, just three voters participated in the first hour and a half after polls opened. Lynn Harris was at the location stumping for her sister, House of Delegates 38C Democratic candidate Judy Davis.

“She’s really devoted to the Eastern Shore way of life,” Harris said. “I think she’s got very good chances in the primary – and the general election will be quite a contest.”

Board of Education District 4 candidate Bill Gordy was campaigning at the site with his granddaughters.

“I think turnout is probably going to be relatively small, and there are six of us running in this district for the board of education seat,” he said.

“That’s going to spread the vote pretty thin I think. But I’m always optimistic.”

Turnout at Berlin Intermediate School was also painfully low, where 13 voters showed up in the first two hours. Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downing was among the poll volunteers.

“It’s been very low,” he said. “We usually have people lined up by the door when we open.”

Officials declined to give early numbers at the Ocean Pines Library, although poll worker Jonathan Fitzsimmons said voting was, “very, very slow.”

“This is the slowest of the four elections – you have your midterm primary, your midterm general, your presidential primary and your presidential general,” he said. “The midterm primary is just very slow.”

At the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, one of the largest polling locations in the area, 109 voters cast their ballots during the first two and a half hours.

“That’s low even for an off-year primary,” said election Head Chief George Payne. “We have 31 volunteers here, 26 machines and 109 votes.”

Payne had anticipated a low turnout based on the early voting numbers. “Eight days of early voting produced maybe 1,100 votes,” he said. “The reason is it’s all local; not too many people are going for the senate or the House of Representatives. Me personally, I think, ‘where’s the interest?’ But we’re ready if it picks up.”

The parking lot of the convention center was crowded with volunteers supporting candidates for several local and state offices, but voters were scarce-to-nonexistent. Savannah Kinavey was among the volunteers, holding up a sign for Republican Clerk of the Circuit Court Candidate Mary Burgess.

“I think turnout is a little slower than previous years,” she said.

“Ocean City is one of the biggest poll places, especially for Republicans, so it’s kind of a letdown. We usually see 2,000 voters here by this time. This kind of shocks me.”

Dave Melocik, who was campaigning for unopposed Republican House of Delegates District 38C candidate Mary Beth Carozza, was optimistic despite the poor showing.

The weather held up, but turnout remained low throughout the day. Of the 31,792 registered voters in Worcester County just 6,424 cast ballots. By comparison, in 2010 during the last off-year primary, voter participation was 8,949.

ated District 38C in the Maryland House of Delegates and will face Carozza.

The notion that every vote counted was never more apparent than in several contested County Commissioner races, where Republican Ted Elder apparently edged Kathryn Danko-Lord by just three votes to earn his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District 4 nomination. In another nail-biter, Chip Bertino led for the District 5 Republican nomination over Grant Helvey by eight votes. Absentee ballots, which could swing both races, will be counted beginning on Thursday at the Government Center in Snow Hill.

Madison Jim Bunting, Jr. comfortably beat Linda C. Busick for the Republican District 6 seat, where no Democratic challengers filed.

Mary Burgess lost her race against Susan Braniecki for the Clerk of the Circuit Court Republican nomination and will face Democrat Valerie Gaskill, who comfortably defeated J. Marie Bodley, in the general election.

Bill Gordyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work on Election Day paid off, as he won the Board of Education Commissioner District 4 race. Robert A. Rothermel, Jr. was elected Board of Education District 7 Commissioner.

Web site unveils new beach safety page, publication

(June 27, 2014) The water provides endless opportunity for fun and relaxation, if you understand how to be safe. In light of recent tragic events, and on the heels of Rip Current Awareness Week, OceanCity.com has announced a new beach safety page and a new publication, the 2014 “Water Safety & Fun pocket guide.”

Information you need to stay safe while enjoying the ocean is on the Beach Safety page on OceanCity.com, www.oceancity.com/beach-safety.

This page details rip currents, how to identify them, how they behave, and how you can stay safe if you are caught in such a current.

“The people that find themselves in the most trouble in the water just don’t have an understanding of the water or a respect for the ocean,” said professional bodyboarder Brian Stoehr. “If you understand how the ocean works and know what to do in the event you do get in trouble, you really don’t have a lot to worry about.”

Stoehr, as editor of the watersports section on OceanCity.com, also created a safety video with easy to understand ways to enjoy the water while staying safe. This video is available on the beach safety page along with a long and detailed video “class” on rip currents prepared by NOAA. This NOAA link has pictures of rip currents and how they look from the beach.

In addition to the Web site, OceanCity.com published a new Water Safety & Fun pocket guide for 2014 that contains valuable information about how to make the most of your time on the ocean or bay in Ocean City. This guide is a must have for any visitor who wishes to safely enjoy the water.

The following information is included in these printed guides: - Safety tips from the Ocean City Beach Patrol - Rip current information from NOAA - Advice from professional bodyboarder Brian Stoehr - Information on watersports rental companies - Coupons and discounted gift certificates offering huge savings on watersport adventures OceanCity.com printed 20,000 of the 2014 Water Safety & Fun guides, which can be picked up at hotels, visitors’ centers, and from the Ocean City Beach Patrol during its morning safety meetings.

Visiting the Beach Safety page on OceanCity.com and grabbing your copy of the OceanCity.com Water Fun and Safety guide will help ensure you and your family are fully prepared for your time in the ocean. If you cannot find a copy of the Water Fun and Safety guide, contact OceanCity.com at support@oceancity.com.

POLICE/COURTS

Left friend at bar Clint Thomas Taylor, 23, of Savage, was charged June 21 with second-degree assault and reckless endangerment after allegedly choking a young woman.

Taylor had reportedly left a bar without telling the woman he was leaving. The two had come to Ocean City together.

When she arrived at their room about an hour after he did, she hit him and he allegedly tried to choke her.

The victim told police he squeezed his fingers around her throat until she lost consciousness for a few seconds.

Police noted that the woman had a large red mark on her jaw line and on the side of her face.

Alleged assault Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the 9700 block of Hotel Road in Bishopville for a reported assaultin-progress on June 19.

Upon arrival, deputies made contact with the victim who said he had been struck in the head with a brick by Tony Lamont Townsend, 57, of Bishopville.

Townsend was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree assault.

Alleged shoplifting Worcester County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were dispatched to Wal-Mart in Berlin for a report of shoplifting June 19.

The three suspects had fled

the scene, but deputies located them in the parking lot. Store employees identified the suspects as being involved in an alleged theft of items valued at $657.

The suspects were identified as Ceser Alberto Heyaime Bautista, 21, Nicole Danchelly Baez Rojas, 21, and Alma Estercy Ogando Perez, 19, all of Ocean City.

A bag of suspected marijuana and a suspected marijuana smoking pipe were located in Ogando Perez’s purse.

All three suspects were charged with theft of items with a value of less than $1,000 and conspiracy to commit that theft.

Concealed weapon Devjuan Tilghman, 19, of Hurlock, was charged June 22 with having a concealed dangerous weapon after an Ocean City police officer found a butterfly knife in his pocket.

The officer had noticed Tilghman holding a black metal object in his hand. The object was partially concealed because part of it was in Tilghman’s front shorts pocket.

Tilghman reportedly told the officer the knife had belonged to his late grandfather and he carries it “because you never know.”

Scooby Doo Dion Richard Gambal, 19, of Westminster, was arrested June 21 after allegedly possessing marijuana and a concealed dangerous weapon.

An Ocean City police officer went to Fourth Street and Baltimore Av-

enue because of a report of three people sleeping in a vehicle.

The officer smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and saw Gambal, the front seat passenger, holding a pipe.

After the occupants exited the vehicle, the officer searched it and found a package of Scooby Doo Potpourri Kush on the floor on front of Gambal’s seat.

He also found a clear plastic cola bottle with a hole, burn markings and marijuana residue and a small metal rhubarb [sic] pipe.

Gambal was charged with possession of a cannabiminmetic agent, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and possession of a concealed dangerous weapon.

food

Destruction Michael Andrew Helmer, 18, of Albrightsville, Pa., was charged June 23 with malicious destruction of property valued at less than $1,000 and theft of an item valued at less than $1,000.

Helmer allegedly damaged a security camera at a business near Fourth Street.

A police officer located Helmer nearby and asked if he could talk to him and search him. Helmer gave the officer permission for both. During the search, the officer found a camera in Helmer’s cargo pocket.

The officer arrested Helmer, who admitted breaking the camera and stealing it, according to the charging document. He also admitted being under the influence of alcohol.

Phase 3 of the U.S. 113 upgrade could bring increased traffic and business to Worcester County.

SHA considers highway upgrades

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) With nearly $50 million in new funding secured for upgrades to U.S. Route 113, the State Highway Administration could begin considering upgrades to other area highways.

The Phase 3 upgrade project involves the widening of a 3.75 mile stretch of 113 to a four-lane divided

highway from south of Massey Branch to north of Five Mile Branch Road.

Some $49 million was raised for the project thanks to gas tax revenues, according to David Buck, Media Relations manager for the Maryland State Highway Administration.

In March Governor Martin O’Malley announced the new construction funding and dedicated a 14-mile section of 113, also known as Worcester Highway,

SHA eyes consideration of further highway upgrades Continued from Page 14 Road. The remaining widening projects will completed as additional funding becomes available. Officials believe the wider roadway will improve safety and reduce traffic congestion caused by high peak traffic during the summer resort season.

Officials estimate construction will be completed in winter 2017.

Many in the area believe the upgrades could bring increased revenues to smaller towns in Worcester County.

“Once it’s all dualized I think there’s going to be a lot more traffic on it, and because Berlin is on it we’ll have a lot more people riding by,” said Michael Day, Berlin’s Economic and Community Development director. “Hopefully they’ll find their way into town.”

Day suggested a fully dualized 113 would be a more attractive path for motorists than U.S. Route 13 from Dover.

“When they’re coming down 13 and hit Dover that’s where the split is,” Day said. “I think then they will take 113 versus staying on 13. I think it’s just more a scenic route, and all the studies that I’ve seen are predicting a pretty major increase in traffic on that highway once it’s dualized all the way.”

Maryland routes 589 and 90 and the U.S. Route 50 Bay Bridge could be next in line for upgrades.

“To date $1.5 million has been funded for the planning phase of potential improvements to MD 589 from U.S. 50 to U.S. 113,” said Buck. “Currently there is no additional funding for the

LAUREN BUNTING REALTOR®

engineering, right-of-way or construction phases; there has been concern from the business community about how much right-of-way may be needed to widen the existing two lane MD 589 to a four-lane divided road.”

Buck said there were no current plans to widen 90, although he acknowledged Worcester County asked SHA to consider a planning study for the route between 50 and Md. Route 528 in a letter drafted in March of this year.

“Worcester County’s priority project continues to be the complete dualization of U.S. Route 113 in Worcester County,” the letter, signed by Worcester County Commissioner President Bud Church stated. “While we recognize that your most recent instructions advise the County to limit the number of priority projects included in our annual request, the Commissioners wish to express their support for the following projects, in no particular order: improvements to Maryland Route 589; Racetrack Road, from U.S. Route 50 north to U.S. Route 113; replacement of the Harry W. Kelly Memorial Bridge on U.S. Route 50 into Downtown Ocean City; and the complete dualization of Maryland Route 90 from U.S. Route 50 to Maryland Route 528, Coastal Highway in Ocean City.

“With this inclusion SHA will work with Maryland Department of Transportation to consider this project as the next six-year Consolidated Transportation Plan is drafted this summer and fall,” Buck said.

“The swimmer was recovered during the search and rescue just like the one a week earlier,” Butch Arbin, captain of the Ocean City Beach Patrol, said of the most recent case. “The swimmer was unable to be rescued because in both cases, as the Special Reaction Team was affecting the rescue, a breaking wave caused the swimmer to become submerged.

“The responding SRTs then begin a process to dive below the surface in an attempt to locate the now-submerged victim. Ocean currents and a severe lack of visibility make locating a submerged victim very difficult if not impossible, which usually is the case. As other SRTs arrive on the scene a coordinated pattered search is established, and other agencies are added to the search efforts as they arrive.”

Arbin noted that the OCBP and Fire/EMS companies train together.

Five new OCPD officers graduate (June 27, 2014) On June 17, five new Ocean City Police Department officers graduated from the Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy’s 72nd police academy class. The newest Ocean City officers are James Bodine, Gary Cooper, Jr., Tonya Gower, Kyle Hayes, Jr. and Julianne O’Toole.

Officers were formally recognized as certified police officers of the Ocean City Police Department after 24 weeks of intense training. The recruit class stemmed from various law enforcement agencies throughout Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Graduates from the OCPD consistently earn top honors from the police academy and these new officers held true to that tradition. Officers Bodine, Cooper Gower and O’Toole each earned the Physical Fitness Award. The Firearms Proficiency Award was given to Officers Bodine, Gower and O’Toole.

Also, Officer Cooper earned the only Academic Achievement Award in the recruitment class earning a 93 percent overall score.

“We strive to provide the Ocean City community with the best and brightest officers that we can find,” said Ocean

City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro. “I truly believe that our five newest officers exemplify that goal. Each of them are sure to be tremendous servants for our residents and visitors.”

After their graduation from the police academy, the new officers will enter into a nine-week field training pro-

gram. During this time, they will hone the skills they have acquired in the police academy under the direct supervision of a veteran OCPD field training officer. They will be routinely evaluated and critiqued on their performance and will train with the various shifts and divisions that make up the OCPD.

Trikkes Boardwalk arrival not any time soon Use of vehicle gets stalled in information-gathering process by Police Comm.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Add “Trikkes” to the list of ideas that seem to be stuck indefinitely in the city’s informationgathering purgatory.

Although the Police Commission pledged this week to conduct further investigation into Boardwalk congestion as a whole, it appears that an actual opinion on local businessman Bryant Hungerford’s pitch to rent the three-wheeled vehicles on the boards won’t be coming in time for the current season.

“I’m not going to say no,” said Commission Chair Doug Cymek. “But

I would like the opportunity to monitor the Boardwalk this summer and talk about this in September. We haven’t seen the peak summer population yet.”

Hungerford continued to press the commission, however, that his devices were actually safer and less congestion-inducing that surreys and the so-called reclining “banana bikes” that are popular on the Boardwalk.

He requested a trial period in which he would rent only ten devices.

“These are an extremely small impact as far as congestion goes,” Hungerford said. “If you want to limit things on the Boardwalk, you have to look at the whole picture.”

Although the commission agreed that the issue needs to be taken up, the only official who voiced support for a trial period of Trikke rentals be-

fore the end of the summer was Mayor Rick Meehan.

“There’s nothing more difficult to maneuver than a banana bike,” Meehan said. “I differ a little from the rest of the commission. I think we should allow these on a trial basis.”

“You have to remember that there’s a finite number of people interested in getting up early and riding on the Boardwalk,” Meehan noted. “If you’re on one of these, you’re not riding something else.”

The Trikke is best described as a set of skis with three wheels and a steering handle. Two runners each have a wheel at the back, and are joined at the front with a third wheel, where a t-shaped grip is mounted.

On the manual version of the vehicle, the rider stands on the runners and arcs their body from side to side

to build momentum. But there is also an electric-powered version that one can simply stand on and go.

The former was considered to be a bad idea by the commission, given the sweeping motion required and the cramped quarters of the Boardwalk during a summer morning. But Hungerford would only be renting out the electric version, which would have power limiters restricting the vehicles to no more than nine miles per hour.

Still, there has been considerable hesitancy to allow the devices, even temporarily.

“We’re going to open the door to everything…by allowing a motorized vehicle on the Boardwalk,” said Council President Lloyd Martin. “If you’re going to add something like this, you have to take something away.”

Currently, the only motorized devices allowed on the boards are Segways, since state traffic code defines EPAMDs (Electronic Personal Assisted Mobility Devices, the industry

Single Family Homes from the $900s

410.723.1730

term for Segways) as pedestrians.

The Trikke, however, would be classified under state law as a “motorized minibike,” and would have to be written into city code as such. Alternatively, Hungerford suggested, the city could change its own definition of EPAMD to include three-wheeled electric vehicles, instead of just twowheeled Segways.

“As I said before, I think the most important thing is the practicality, and less so the legal angle,” Hungerford said. “All you would need to do would be to change two wheels to three. I’m just asking for a trial period.”

Hungerford would start with a fleet of 10 vehicles, renting for $20 to $30 an hour, he said. This pales in comparison to some operators who have hundreds of bikes and surreys, and rent en masse for a fraction of the price.

“I never did like the banana bikes, personally, and I think that was the last thing we added [to the Boardwalk],” said Councilman Dennis Dare. “If the Segways have to be allowed, so be it, but I think we need to look at where we’ll be down the road before we add anything else.”

Lt. Scott Harner, the Ocean City Police Department’s head of traffic enforcement, had tested the devices and found them to not present any practical difficulties.

“I had no problems getting on the Trikke and operating it,” he said. “I’ve ridden a Segway and the Trikke and found neither particularly challenging.”

Security not charged after fight with teens Video footage of violent Senior Week confrontation recently posted on YouTube

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Video footage of a violent Senior Week confrontation between drunk teenagers and motel security, recently posted to YouTube, has put the spotlight on what, if any, standards private guards are held to.

In the footage - which can be found at http://youtu.be/sqtsXcW9gA - a clearly intoxicated young man refuses to leave the front lot of the Suntan Motel on Second Street and Baltimore Avenue, where he was apparently not staying.

It is common practice during June for lodging establishments, particularly downtown, to hire security to prevent anyone who is not registered at the establishment from coming on the property to party.

The intoxicated young man in the footage has been identified as Jacob D. Little, 19, of New Cumberland, PA, according to a report from the Ocean City Police Department.

However, the OCPD report picks up after the events of the YouTube footage, when officers finally arrived at the scene of the fight after having been alerted by a third party. Little allegedly fled officers and was apprehended after a foot chase. The incident took place June 8, 2014.

In the video, several of Little’s female friends advise him to leave, but he appears unwilling or unable, given his clear level of drunkenness, to do so, and gets into a face-to-face verbal altercation with a security guard.

Little is then confronted by a second guard, who rhetorically asks “do you live here?” and then says “you have to move right now.”

Despite several stern orders from the guards, Little appears to head toward the motel’s front door, where he is then physically blocked by the two guards. Several onlookers tell the guards to “call the cops on him.”

However, the second guard – who has a heavy West Indian or African accent – says “I not calling cops on you, I take you out of here right now.”

Little, however, continues to walk north, although it is unclear if he is heading toward the motel’s entrance or is trying to get around the guards in order to head out of the parking lot.

The first guard then hoists Little up over his shoulder, apparently intent on physically moving him off the property. But instead, the guard stops 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

partway through the parking lot and violently slams Little, from shoulderheight, down onto the pavement, and begins striking him in the face.

Several onlookers scream “stop” and “he was trying to leave.”

After a few seconds, the guard allows Little to get up. But the young man then tries to take a drunken, retaliatory swing at the guard’s face, prompting a full-scale fracas.

Although camera footage is unclear for several seconds thereafter, the arm of a security guard can clearly be seen throwing a young blonde woman in a bikini up against a brick pillar, after which she falls down and appears unable to get up, although the video cuts out soon thereafter.

OCPD Public Information Officer Lindsay O’Neal said the department

is currently investigating what went on prior to officers’ arrival, and is aware of the video footage.

According to the OCPD report, a security guard named Timothy Randolph identified Little as having struck him during the fight. It is unknown if any of the guards seen in the video are Randolph.

Little has been charged with second-degree assault, affray, and disorderly Conduct.

No formal representative of the Suntan Motel was available for comment – but a source at the establishment confirmed that they were aware of the video.

“We just hire them for senior week,” the source said. “This coming week will probably be the last one for it. We’ve had no incidents since that night.”

It was their understanding, the source said, that the young woman injured in the fight was Little’s sister.

“I was told [the guard] pushed her into the pillar because she had jumped on his back and was punching him in the head,” the source said.

“It was her brother. You kind of understand the emotions involved, but the guards are trying to defend themselves the best they can.”

“When kids start drinking, they get a whole different mindset.”

Any physical altercations between security and guests are supposed to be reported immediately to police, O’Neal said. However, the OCPD does not directly regulate private security, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Maryland State Police.

The MSP was unable to comment as of press time.

Promoter encounters difficulties, moves Proposed Boater Aid Family Fun Music Festival at Isle of Wight gets rescheduled

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) A proposed Boater Aid Family Fun Music Festival at Isle of Wight Nature Park that was scheduled for July 4-6 has been tentatively rescheduled for Aug. 30 through Sept.

1.

The site itself has also changed somewhat. Instead of using the park itself, Allen Barzak, the festival’s organizer, said it will take place exclusively on the bay.

“It’s strictly all on water,” Barzak said Tuesday.

He changed the date because he needed more time to put it together

and because no one from the state notified him that he could not use the property as he had planned. He said he learned from someone in county government that he could not use the property.

“Worcester County was good,” Barzak said. “They worked with me really well.”

He did not learn that he could not use the Isle of Wight Nature Park, which is part of the Isle of Wight Wildlife Management Area owned by the state and leased to Worcester County as a day use recreation area, until he had been planning the event for five months. So that led to the change in the date.

“We’re definitely doing the same exact event, but on the water,” he said.

“We’re shooting for Labor Day, but not setting the exact date yet.” Al-

though the Web site, www.BoatersAidMusicFest.com, states that the festival is Aug. 30 through Sept. 1, it also states that those dates are subject to change.

He also must confirm shuttle services. Shuttles are expected to operate from Ocean Pines and Ocean City. Locations for the shuttles have not been announced.

Barzak is hoping 1,500 boats will be anchored in the bay so the people aboard can watch nationally known, but as yet unnamed, musical acts perform on a barge. Although he is hoping for 1,500 boats, he said he is expecting about 1,000. A boat festival in Cape Charles, Va., attracted about 1,000 boats, he said.

For people without boats, Barzak is arranging for the shuttles to pick them up and take them to the site,

where they can watch the entertainment from a barge.

A treasure hunt, volleyball, kayak races, a raffle, 50/50 and giveaways are also on the agenda for the festival, which is a fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

Prices to attend the Boaters Aid Family Fun Music Festival range from $50 to $75 per person per day for general admission to $75 to $150 per day for VIP tickets. Part of the difference in prices, Barzak said, depends on whether people are in boats or seated on barges.

“We’re going to make it happen,” Barzak said.

Barzak said he needs only one permit, a marine gathering permit from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, for the festival, but he has not applied for it yet.

“I will not apply for it until we have everything intact,” he said. “We’re building the event to accommodate what is needed and will then apply for the permit. It’s a process in the making. We’re working toward the event.”

He said he plans to apply for it within the department’s stated time period of 45 days prior to an event.

According to its Web site, www.dnr.state.md.us, the Department of Natural Resources considers a marine gathering to be “an intentional congregation of more than 100 vessels in a specific area of water that, by the event’s nature, circumstances, or location, creates extra or unusual hazards to life or property.”

In 2012, the General Assembly passed legislation establishing the permit to provide the Natural Resources Police, local law enforcement, and first responders adequate notice of large gatherings on state waters.

They could then prepare safety and security measures deemed necessary.

The permit, according to the Web site, would also compel event sponsors such as Barzak to be proactive in planning and managing for safety and security during their events on the water.

“We have done our research,” said Barzak, who added that he had studied safety issues of all kinds, including water depths.

“I’m not putting this on without it being successful,” he said.

Barzak is a Florida resident who has been living in the Bishopville area.

He said he returns to his south Florida business, Allen’s Ultimate Services, periodically and would be going to Florida again today, Friday.

Several months ago, the Web site, www.allensultimateservices.com, had information about the business being involved in catering, chauffeur services, party services, rental equipment, painting, plumbing, landscaping, cleaning services, commercial, business and home maintenance, flooring, remodeling, photography, wedding planning and more. Now, however, it has information about the Boaters Aid Family Fun Music Festival.

Man assaults neighbor, arrested

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) A 34-year-old Ocean City man was arrested Sunday in connection with a serious assault on one of his neighbors last Friday.

John Haggerty Guns is accused of hitting the man over his head with a glass beer bottle.

A friend of the victim flagged down an Ocean City police officer at about 1:30 a.m. and told him his friend was bleeding and needed emergency medical help. The police officer followed the man to an apartment house on Sunset Avenue. Shattered glass and a large amount of blood were on the floor of the porch in front of the apartment where the assault occurred.

Inside the apartment, the victim, who was covered in blood, was holding a towel over his face, which had a cut on the left side.

The victim said one of his neighbors

had struck him with the bottle. Because of the victim’s injuries, paramedics took him to Peninsula Regional Medical Center for treatment.

A witness told police that he had just arrived at the apartment house when he saw John Guns in the parking lot.

Guns, he said, was arguing with a man on the porch. The witness said he tried to calm the situation down and even tried to shake Guns’ hand, but Guns refused and started walking up the steps to confront the man on the porch. The witness followed close behind.

Guns then walked to the man and hit him over the head with the glass bottle, the witness told police, according to the charging document.

The witness then bear hugged Guns and spun him away from the victim to stop the assault. While the witness tended to the injured victim, Guns walked down the stairs and away from the area. Although the witness told

Another witness told police he heard Guns yelling at the man on the porch and saw him walk up the stairs, pull a beer bottle from his back pocket and hit the man with it.

Another police officer found blood on the rear porch of Guns’ apartment, but police were unable to find Guns.

The officer who had talked to the victim obtained an arrest warrant for Guns, who was arrested Sunday and charged with first-and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment.

Guns was taken to the Worcester County Jail, but released after posting $5,000 bond. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 18 in District Court in Ocean City.

Mayor completes media tour of Baltimore outlets Rick Meehan made five TV, radio stops in single day

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan, decked out in his bright yellow “Vacation Day” shirt, is interviewed by WJZ-TV, Channel 13, one of five media stops he made while in Baltimore on Wednesday, June 18.

(June 27, 2014) Decked out in a bright yellow “Vacation Day” shirt, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan completed a media tour of Baltimore on Wednesday, June 18, generating more than $15,000 in advertising dollar equivalency.

The mayor made five appearances on Baltimore television and radio stations to promote Ocean City’s Vacation Days campaign, summer events, the return of the Dew Tour and safety tips.

Mayor Meehan visited five of Baltimore’s top media outlets, including: WBFF-TV Fox 45, WIYY-FM 98Rock, WJZ- TV CBS 13, WBAL-TV NBC 11, and WBAL-AM 1090.

“We had a wonderful trip to Baltimore, and everywhere we went, the media complimented us on our Vacation Days campaign,” Meehan said.

“The message of using vacation days properly for a trip to Ocean City is really resonating with people, and this tour helped us spread the news about all the great activities and events we have going on.”

The media tour was organized by the town’s agency, MGH, and coordinated by Donna Abbott, Ocean City tourism director.

Insurance costs for mopeds, motor scooters reduced

(June 27, 2014) The Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund announced a major rate reduction for commercial moped and motor scooter short-term rental policies, effective June 16.

MAIF expects the reduction to strengthen the commercial viability of small scooter rental businesses on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where the highest concentration of scooter rental businesses exist in the state.

Rates have been reduced 36 percent, saving the average Ocean City moped and motor scooter rental business approximately $2,800 per year.

This reduction comes as a result of Senator James N. Mathias’ efforts, on behalf of the scooter industry, to reduce costs of these premiums. Since the 2012 legislation requiring scooters to be insured, Senator Mathias has worked with MAIF to find a way to offer cost-affordable premiums. “ Our effective relationship with MAIF has resulted in this significant rate reduction to help our small business community. These scooter rental and sales businesses have made a good faith effort to comply with the insurance laws and I remain committed to fighting for these businesses because of their importance to the Ocean City and Eastern Shore economies,” Senator Mathias said.

As of Oct. 1, 2012, Maryland law requires all mopeds and motor scooters in the state to be titled and insured.

MAIF Executive Director M. Kent Krabbe acknowledged Senator Mathias’ advocacy for these small business owners.

“We appreciate Senator Mathias’ bringing the challenges of these businesses and their difficulty in obtaining legally mandated coverage for their operations to our attention. With the Maryland Insurance Administration’s speedy approval of these new lower rates, MAIF continues its public mission of reducing the number of uninsured vehicles on Maryland roads,” Krabbe said.

Before recent renovations, the Fairfax Apartments on 26th Street had a third floor staircase reminiscent of a fire escape.

The Fairfax Apartments on 26th Street have a new egress from the third floor, central heat and air, updated kitchens and a slew of other improvements after a seven-month renovation project.

Makeover gives building contemporary look

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) A well-known Ocean City apartment complex got a makeover this year, bringing the building from the 1960s to the present.

“Structurally it was in great shape.

Cosmetically, inside and out it needed a great face lift,” owner Wayne Hartman said.

The redesign of the 102 26th Street Fairfax Apartments took seven months and updated everything from the plumbing and electric to the kitchen and windows. Other addi-

tions include insulation for the third floor, upping the complex from a summer rental to a year-round residence.

But perhaps the biggest improvement in the six-apartment complex was the addition of an egress from the third floor, replacing a more dan-

gerous stairwell Hartman said was reminiscent of a fire escape.

“It makes me sleep better at night,” he said.

Manager of the property for seven years, Hartman said the previous owner had plans to tear down the complex before the housing market

Apartment complex given â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cosmeticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; facelift, redesign dried up and made redevelopment unfeasible. He bought the building last May and set to work revamping it less than a year later.

The project is not Hartmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first, however. Last year, he upgraded a nine-unit building on Talbot Street and the year before he converted old, seasonal buildings on

housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the new one,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Almanzar, of the Dominican Republic, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been spending his summers in the 26th Street complex since 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy living over here.â&#x20AC;?

Three-summer renter Lucas Zelazowski agreed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close to the

Worcester County Economic Development Director Bill Badger St. Louis Avenue to year-round housing, he said.

The quality of those projects makes them stand out, said Worcester County Economic Development Director Bill Badger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a commitment to quality.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to do it halfway,â&#x20AC;?

Badger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of quality redevelopment we need to encourage in Ocean City.â&#x20AC;?

Some of Hartmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returning tenants, all seasonal workers, agreed the projects provide a higher quality of

beach, close to the bus stop and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of space.â&#x20AC;?

Hartman has plans to update another Ocean City property this winter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the seven-unit building that neighbors his most recent renovation project.

His favorite part of the rental business, however, is his tenants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You build a relationship with the students,â&#x20AC;? Hartman said.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even be attending the wedding of one of his lessees this summer.

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) The West Ocean City man who accidentally caused the death of his best friend outside a downtown Ocean City bar in January, 2013 was found guilty of manslaughter June 16. His previous trial, held Aug. 7, 2013, ended in a mistrial after a jury failed to reach a verdict.

Judge Dale Cathell, retired from the Court of Appeals, ordered a presentenced investigation and permitted George Nottingham to remain free during that investigation.

Nottingham had joined his best friend, Mike Post, at the Harbor Inn on Jan. 26, 2013, to celebrate Post’s 40th birthday the next day. Both men had been drinking and they continued to drink at the Harbor Inn. They had an argument about Nottingham’s cell phone, which he couldn’t find. The two friends started pushing and shoving each other, but that was not unusual behavior for them. They considered it horseplay.

The bartender had enough of their behavior and wanted them to leave separately. Post left first.

When Nottingham left, Post was still outside the door. He had walked away, but returned.

Post raised his arm and Nottingham felt threatened. His friend G. Nottingham was 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighed about 364 pounds. Nottingham, who was 2 inches shorter and about 140 pounds lighter, reacted by slapping or punching Post’s mouth. He M. Post heard the thud as Post fell to the ground, hitting his head.

After returning inside to tell the bartender that Post was hurt, Nottingham returned to his friend, who was gasping for air, and rubbed his sternum in an attempt to stimulate him.

Post was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

In addition to finding Nottingham guilty of manslaughter, a jury in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Monday found him guilty of second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and affray. Judge Cathell dismissed the charge of alcohol intoxication endangerment.

Suspended official’s return to City Hall causes unrest

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Mum’s the word – at least officially - at City Hall this week after the return of a city official who had been suspended for drinking on the job.

Those involved with the issue on the city’s side would only say that it was a “personnel matter,” with the official in question saying they “want to leave this behind and move forward.”

The city does not typically disclose individual personnel decisions.

However, this particular incident stands to have wider implications, given that it has exacerbated the already tense relationship between the city and the Ocean City Brewing Company, and raised the issue of favoritism in City Hall.

As reported last week, the official was suspended for five days after returning intoxicated from performing the final Certificate of Occupancy inspection at the OC Brewing Company.

The official arrived at the brewery already drunk, and did not consume any more alcohol while there, according to brewery staff. The official then drove back to City Hall in a city-issued vehicle, arousing the suspicions of co-workers.

Although the OC Brewing Company has been operating in the two weeks since the inspection, the business said they’ve faced increased scrutiny, con-

flicting opinions, and allegedly punitive action by the town.

“We were told we had to cut our fence down to a certain height, and then a few days later someone else came by and said they had decided it should have been higher,” said brewery owner Josh Shores. “So now we’re ripping out the fence and putting in another new one.”

In the city’s defense, Planning and Community Development Director Matt Margotta said that a number of issues had not been taken care of at the time the brewery opened.

“The bottom line is that they met the bare requirements to open to the public, but there are a lot of things they were scrambling to get done and we accommodated the best we could,” Margotta said.

More critically, however, the incident has stoked unrest amongst city employees over what seems to be a light punishment for a serious offense - particularly by someone widely seen in person and via social media to have advantageous relationships with those above them.

City Manager David Recor has not responded to requests for comment.

Per the city’s personnel policy manual, alcohol and drug violations while on the job are considered “major incidents” that can result in immediate termination if deemed necessary.

Shell Mill boat ramp opens earlier than anticipated

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) One county boat ramp has reopened following its reconstruction and a second ramp is closed because its reconstruction was expected to begin this week.

The Shell Mill boat ramp, at the end of Shell Mill Road, off of St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neck Road, in Bishopville, had been closed since April. It was expected to remain closed until early July, but it opened earlier that anticipated.

The Shell Mill project, which cost approximately $134,400, included reconstruction of the concrete boat ramp, which has a groove pattern, and finger piers. Earlier plans had called for the ramp to be relocated and a soft kayak launch from a sandy area, but the state did not approve those plans.

A combination of Waterway Improvement Grants from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and funds from Worcester County paid for the work, which was done by Somerset Paving and Marine of Crisfield.

Since it construction in 1988, the Shell Mill boat ramp has been used by many boaters and fishermen who use it to gain access to Assawoman Bay via the St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s River.

The new project is the Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing boat ramp and shoreline stabilization project, located at the end of Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Landing Road in Girdletree. Project plans include replacing the existing ramp, extending the finger piers, providing additional shoreline protection and bulk heading and creating a soft shoreline.

The project will be paid for with approximately $105,000 from Waterway Improvement Grant funds plus $99,000 from Worcester County. Somerset Paving and Marine, which just completed the Shell Mill boat ramp project, will do the work at Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing.

Construction was expected to begin on or around June 23.

While the project is under construction, the facility will be closed to the public, who are invited to use the county boat ramps at George Island Landing and Public Landing.

The project is expected to take approximately 90 days to complete.

Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing boat ramp is located at the terminus of Taylors Landing Road in Girdletree. Project plans include replacing the existing boat ramp, extending the finger piers, providing additional shoreline protection and bulkheading, and creating a soft shoreline. Funding for this project is available through a combination of Waterway Improvement Grant funds through the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) totaling $96,250 and Assigned Funds of $99,000 from Worcester Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fund Balance.

Numbers likely to be worse before better Unfunded medical liability expected to increase well before city catches up

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) When it comes to the city’s “catch-up game” with postretirement medical funding, the numbers will likely start to look worse before they look better.

Representatives from Bolton Partners, the city’s benefits consultant, appeared before City Council this week to discuss the town’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) trust, in light of an actuarial report that showed the city would actually have to make a smaller contribution this coming year than it had anticipated.

Most of that expense reduction - alized over the entirety of the 24 $351,000 worth – was the result of years remaining in the city’s amortichanges to the medical cost trend zation period for OPEB expenses. model, which has been revised to re- Thus, Binder said, the city’s unflect lower long-term cost increases funded liabilities will actually start to as the medical secgo up, due to the tor slows down to natural growth in ‘This is a very long-term before paymatch the rest of the assumption.

* Minimum deposit of $1000.00. Rate effective June 16, 2014. Rates subject to change. Limited time offer. Penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal. ** APY means Annual Percentage Yield*

Essentially, OPEB and pension accounting is a game of educated guesses, and any revision of or deviation from those assumptions used results in changes to how the plans are funded.

“In a perfect world, by the time a person retires, you’ve already put away the funds needed for the cost of the benefits they will then be using.

That’s the goal,” Binder explained.

To do this, actuaries such as Binder estimate the total cost of postretirement medical care for all current employees, taking into account current age, health, and anticipated retirement date, among other factors.

This is known as the Present Value of Benefits (PVB).

The PVB is then split into three parts. The first, known as Normal Cost, is the amount of money the city will put into the OPEB fund in any given year to cover the estimated value of future benefits earned by employees in that year.

The second, Future Normal Cost, is the portion of the PVB that will be covered by anticipated Normal Cost contributions in subsequent years The remaining portion – i.e., any additional benefits that are not covered by Normal Cost, due to deviations from projections – are known as Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL).

“Theoretically, if all that money [the AAL] was in your fund right now, there’d still be a cost, but it would just be the normal costs,” Binder said.

“When the standard was put in place in 2009, there were no assets at all, so you’ve been playing catch-up.”

Up until 2009, however, the city was not required to fund OPEB on a strict schedule, and paid as it went.

Thus, all future benefits up until that point are reflected in the current AAL, which the city began to pay off on a 30-year schedule.

Current AAL stands at $46,079,000, with $15,501,000 currently in the city’s OPEB trust account, which leaves $30,578,000 to be paid over the remaining 24 years of the amortization cycle. The city put $1,674,000 in Normal Costs into the account in the 2013-2014 fiscal year, and another $1,803,000 in AAL amortization.

Due to the decrease in total longterm liability from the trend revision, along with other revisions such as lower-than-expected insurance claims, the AAL amortization will drop in the coming year to $1,324,000. Along with a normal cost of $1,759,000, plus investment earnings, the OPEB account will grow to $19,305,000. Total AAL will grow to $48,305,000, leaving exactly $29 million unfunded.

In 2016, however, liability growth will exceed asset growth, raising the unfunded liability back up to $29,225,000.

Justine’s Ice Cram Parlour owners, in burgundy, from left center, Tom Quimby, Cody Petrov and Kathy Lash celebrate their ribbon cutting in front of the 123rd Street shop Wednesday alongside members of the Chamber of Commerce and Ocean City officials.

Justine’s cuts ribbon to mark grand opening

(June 27, 2014) Justine’s Ice Cream Parlour celebrated its official grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, launching the oldfashioned scoop shop’s second summer in Ocean City.

With 40 rich flavors to choose from along with an array of toppings and its famous “Wall of Shakes,” the 123rd Street parlor is bringing back the days of classic ice cream.

“It’s all about a fun atmosphere going back to the days of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor,” General Manager Tom Quimby said.

Justine’s originally opened in St. Michaels 26 years ago under Quimby’s ownership and still operates in the small shop there. He calls the newer Ocean City location “St. Michaels on steroids” because it offers more space, including a 50-seat outdoor deck and classic arcade games such as Ms. PacMan. Quimby runs the two stores with coOwner Kathy Lash and Manager Cody Petrov.

“It’s more than ice cream,” Lash said. “I think it brings back memories.

We’re in the ice cream business, but we’re in the memory business.”

A former press secretary, she switched from Capital Hill to Jack and Jill four years ago when the St. Michaels position became available.

The old-fashioned scoop shop offers 40 flavors of ice cream as well as an array of fudge, shakes, floats, snow cones and soft serve ice cream.

Her children grew up drinking the Creamsicle shakes that Quimby masterminded, Lash said.

The orange-vanilla combination is just one of more than 50 creamy concoctions visitors can order at Justine’s.

The “Wall of Shakes” became so popular that Quimby rolls out a new signature shake every year, ranging from the popular Mudslide made with espresso chip ice cream, a shot of espresso and chopped up heath bar to the new Cup of Joe, Side of Dough con-

coction that features coffee ice cream with pieces of doughnut mixed in.

Another Justine’s specialty is “The Titanic,” a colossal challenge featuring eight scoops, six toppings, four cones, whipped cream and four cherries on top. While most share it with a few friends, those who finish it alone get the dish free along with a T-shirt and bragging rights, Quimby said.

Justine’s also offers classic sundaes such as the CMP, topped with chocoSee JUSTINE’S Page 38

Renovation team, from left, Architect Rene Mueller, Interior Designer Leslie Richardson and coowners of Celtic Nations Contracting Damian McAlister and Jonathan Linch pose inside a revamped 1972 apartment in El Capitan Condominiums on Fourth Street.

Apartment gets makeover with European flair

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) A Fourth Street apartment just got a major facelift, thanks to a design duo with a European flair.

The new unit in El Capitan Condominiums boasts higher ceilings, custom décor with a nautical theme and enhanced views, thanks to Interior Designer Leslie Richardson and Swiss Architect Rene Mueller, who teamed up with local Celtic Nations Contracting for the five-month job.

Mueller and Richardson bought the 1972 apartment as a challenge, hopeful that word will spread about their work in the rental unit as they seek to expand their New York-based business into Ocean City.

“We thought that a good way to get our name out there is to do our own project,” Richardson said. “I hope that this will be a harbinger of more work to come.”

Bringing the carpeted and paneled unit into 2014 required some tricky legwork, Richardson said.

“That was an attraction to us — to do something challenging,” she said.

“It was very tired…and was not realizing the full potential of the property.”

At just 12 feet wide, the unit felt even smaller due to its “blocky” layout, she said, and to open the unit required daily communication across the teams.

Thanks to Richardson’s eye for design and her industry connections, the apartment now boasts an abundance of custom pieces, such as the sliding boat house doors and retro water ski hanger in the bunk room.

Other pieces include port windows salvaged from ships and recycled nautical lighting, as well as porcelain See SPACE Page 40

(June 27, 2014) Forty-nine boats carrying approximately 245 anglers of all ages competed in the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 35th annual Small Boat Tournament last weekend.

“It was fabulous. We had a really nice turnout,” said Bill Regan, tournament co-director. “A fair amount of fish were weighed…I don’t think it could have gone any better. It was a great tournament.”

There was a good mix of participants, from young children to adults.

Worcester joins OC and Wicomico in sports alliance

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Worcester County will join the Mid-Atlantic Sports Alliance to attract more amateur sports events to the area.

“I think this is one of the best things we’ve done in a long, long time,” said Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners, during their meeting June 17.

The commissioners approved the request of Recreation and Parks Director Paige Hurley to join Ocean City and Wicomico County, which are already alliance members. The alliance, Hurley said, “is a unique marketing approach.”

Each member of the alliance pays $10,000, a one-time cost to help market the effort to groups outside the region. After signing a memorandum of understanding with Wicomico County and Ocean City, the county’s cost of participation will be based on a sliding scale proportional to revenues generated in each jurisdiction.

Funds for the initial operating budget will be used to develop at Web site, provide funds for marketing, promotional materials and sales.

By joining the regional partnership and TEAM Maryland, the county will create opportunities to promote tourism and increase revenues. It will also allow the county to leverage resources and encourage development of amateur athletics and youth sports.

TEAM Maryland helps participating counties recruit sporting events and was largely responsible for bringing the DEW Tour to Ocean City, according to Hurley.

Either party may terminate the agreement by notifying the other parties in writing by March 1 of any year.

Termination would be effective June 30 of that year.

Teaching women to catch waves (June 27, 2014) Michelle Sommers, executive director of the Eastern Surfing Association, and a long-time resident of Fenwick Island, has been recognized for years as the area’s premier surfing instructor, offering customized surf lessons for women of all --ages.

Through her “women specific” camps and private or M. Sommers small group lessons, hundreds of women throughout the coastal region and beyond have discovered surfing in a fun, safe environment, while making many new friends along the way.

“Women often are intimidated when it comes to surfing as it has been viewed as a male-dominated sport for years,” Sommers said.

“Many people would love to be able to surf, but mistakenly believe that surfing is too difficult to learn — and even if they are interested, they don’t know how or where to begin. For women, learning the basics from another woman takes away the intimidation factor.”

Sommers did not begin surfing until she was in her late 20s.

“I always wanted to learn but didn’t feel comfortable paddling out alone.

When I started surfing over 12 years ago, there were very few female surfers to learn from or with,” she said. “From my six years of teaching surfing to women, I have learned that they enjoy doing new things together, and this mutual support makes the experience memorable and fun.”

“Women who are learning to surf feel comfortable with me. As a woman, I understand their fears and frustrations,” she continued. “There were not any women surf instructors that I knew of when I began the sport so I had to learn techniques by watch-

offer Sommers’ surf camp participants keepsakes and memories of their first surfing adventure.

“Sarah is so talented in capturing the enthusiasm of the camp participants. Everyone wants one good photo of themselves riding waves, and Sarah offers this–and so much more,” Sommers said. “Even the Assateague ponies come and pose for her photos.”

Schwind will be offering group surf photo sessions throughout the summer for those who want to capture their surfing style and want beach portraits.

Sommers has taught surfing lessons for women into their 60s as well as lessons for children and men.

“I enjoy teaching entire families to surf. This is very rewarding as it’s something they will be able to do together forever,” Sommers said.

Sommers’ husband, Jay, also surfs and owns several bicycle shops in the beach area, while their two young sons, Kai and Kade, enjoy catching waves as well.

“Our family time is spent at the beach in the ocean. There’s nothing better than that,” she said.

OC Marlin Club’s annual Canyon Kick Off, July 4-6 Continued from Page 43 Birkett said he hopes to have at least 50-60 boats enter this year.

ing and surfing with men surfers.”

Women who are new to surfing are encouraged even more today by seeing so many other women in the surf.

Ocean City resident, Hilary Trader discovered surfing last summer.

“Michelle is a natural teacher and coach, she makes you feel relaxed and confident while pushing you to a new level of your own abilities,” she said.

“Not only is she incredibly skilled in her talents but she truly finds so much joy in watching each and every one of her students get up on the surf board for the first time. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found Michelle as she made me feel safe and taught me a new sport that I have grown to love.”

“The best part of my job now is that I have met hundreds of amazing women who have taken my classes. I have been able to pass on my love and skills in surfing, and I have maintained close friendships with many gals who I continue to teach and surf with,” she said.

Through Sommers’ role as the executive director of the Eastern Surfing Association, the nation’s largest amateur surfing organization, she knows how rewarding surfing can be at every level.

Sommers’ surf camps are offered on several weekends throughout the summer as well as “refresher” camps for students who haven’t been in the water since last season.

“There is a lot of information that surfers must be aware of including safety, etiquette and proper technique. It’s always important to be reminded of this prior to paddling out,” Sommers said.

Lessons are offered seven days per week throughout the summer, dependent on surfing conditions and the weather.

Big eye weighing 222.1 lbs. takes first place in tourney Capt. Todd Dickerson and Top Dog crew win $21,041 for Tuna-ment catches

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 27, 2014) Fifty-six boats registered for the 25th annual Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association’s Tuna-ment Tournament, held June 20-22. Forty-three of those boats fished out of Ocean City.

Sunset Marina in West Ocean City was one of four official weigh-in stations. The others were Wachapreague Seaside Marina in Wachapreague, Va., Curtis Merritt Marina in Chincoteague, Va. and Hook’em and Cook’em at the Indian River Inlet in Delaware.

A total of $35,260 was awarded to Tuna-ment winners.

“The tournament was a complete success. This is turning into one of Ocean City’s and the Mid-Atlantic’s best tuna tournaments for recreational anglers,” said Dave Smith, executive director of the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association.

“Low cost to get in with better than average return if you win. However, you don’t enter tournaments to make money. You enter to be competitive,

have fun, and if you win, even better.”

Top Dog Capt. Todd Dickerson and his team was presented with $21,041.

The crew brought a 222.1-pound big eye tuna to Sunset Marina to take first place. They also landed a 211.7-pound big eye for a 433.8-pound total stringer weight.

Crabby Capt. John Travers and his team weighed a 214.6-pound big eye at Curtis Merritt Marina, good for second place and $3,515.

Wet Dreams Capt. Ron Huybert and his crew finished in third place with a 180.6-pound big eye. The fish, weighed at Sunset Marina, was worth $1,105.

The Lady Luck brought 173.7- and 151.8-pound big eyes to the Sunset Marina scale. The stringer weight for two fish was 325.5 pounds. Capt.

Tommy Baldwin and his team won $3,038. They also caught a 49.5pound yellowfin for a total stringer weight of 375 pounds.

Chad Moore, captain of Reel Dirty, weighed a 55.7-pound dolphin at Wachapreague Seaside Marina. The fish earned the crew first place in the dolphin division and $1,809.

Impulsive Capt. George Wendling and his crew landed 35.9-pound dolphin to finish in second place in the division.

Players from across US compete in OC Tennis Center event

(June 27, 2014) The Delmarva Junior Open, traditionally known as a “Mid-Atlantic” USTA event, drew players from across the country last weekend, as participants from Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Pennsylvania traveled to Ocean City to compete.

Despite a slight dip in participants, likely do to new regional tournaments in the Washington D.C. area, the Delmarva Junior Open was an overall success.

“We were delighted with the quality of play and the ability to draw players from across the nation,” said Tennis Director, Dr. Keith Coleman, who also served as the tournament director.

“There is some competition from the higher level tournaments in the region during this time of year so we didn’t see the number of participants that we had anticipated, but we are hopeful that making some changes to the timing of the event could greatly impact the tournament in the future.”

In the Girl’s 16 Division, Celicilia Cress (Winchester, Va.) was the champion by going undefeated in round robin play. Maureen MacLeod (Chestertown, Md.) was the runner-up.

In the Girl’s 18 Division the semifinal matches were highly contested.

In the second semifinal, Katarina Stevanovich (Delray Beach, Fla.) narrowly beat Peyton Schaffer (McMurray, Pa.) 7-5, 6-2. Stevanovich went on to cruise in the finals 6-0, 6-0. The next junior tournament at the Ocean City Tennis Center will be the Ocean City Open scheduled for Aug. 1-3.

Skaters perform at Carousel Hotel The Next Ice Age shows featured nightly in OC at 6:30 p.m. through Aug. 20

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) A band of Baltimore skaters is bringing their dance moves to the ice this summer, performing twists and turns ringside at the Carousel Hotel on 118th Street.

The Next Ice Age performances take place at the hotel every night at 6:30 p.m. and are free to the public.

Returning to Ocean City for its 14th year, the show is better than ever, choreographer Tim Murphy said.

“We have some world-caliber

skaters at this show that can do some of the stuff that you see at the Olympics,” he said. “For people who have seen it before, this is a much more daring show.”

The performance is set to music — a mix of 70s pop and Stevie Wonder with a few contemporary songs added to the mix.

“It’s music that most people can recognize,” said skater Julianne DiMura, 22, who treads the ice alongside performers Holly Alexander, 20, Megan Marschall, 22, Rachel Jones, 20, and Shawn Rogers, 28. They’re all former competitive figure skaters who have retired from competition.

“We love to continue skating,” Marschall said. “It’s a really fun show

because you can be so close to the audience.”

Because spectators stand during the half-hour show, they are directly ringside for the performance. The skaters interact with the audience and invite anyone to get a photo or autograph after the show, too.

New this year, Murphy added a classical song to the act and Ravel’s “Bolero” has been “brining down the house every night,” he said.

Murphy has been choreographing ice shows since age 12, when he designed his own skating routines. A quarter-century later, he’s still innovating to keep the performances fresh.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Star Charities’ Western Night at the Races is back July 10, bringing live entertainment, an all-you-can-eat buffet and live horse racing to participants at Ocean Downs Race Track.

Guests donning their best Western costumes pay $26 for the event, which includes a program and will benefit Coastal Hospice this year.

“It’s going to be a great party,” said Maureen McNeill, director of development at Coastal Hospice. “We’re really grateful.”

The event starts at 4:30 p.m. at the track on Racetrack Road. There will be a buffet with fish, chicken, macaroni and cheese and desserts and live music by the Tim Landers Duo, Sharon Sorrentino and others, as well as a performance by the Stephen Decatur High School Cheerleaders.

Those donning the best Western outfits will take home prizes and there will be door prizes, a 50/50 raffle and a basket of cheer, said Anna Foultz, president of Star Charities.

She was inspired to raise funds for Coastal Hospice this year after the death of a family member.

“My cousin Helen passed away and she had Hospice at her bedside. They did so many things,” Foultz said. “They go in and make these people feel at ease.

“I immediately went to our committee in meeting and brought it up.”

The funds will go toward Coastal Hospice at the Ocean, a residence and medical facility planned for Berlin, McNeill said.

Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will be different from Coastal Hospice at the Lake, in Salisbury, “because that’s more of an in-patient facility. This is more of a residence,” she said.

While it will be a medical facility, “it won’t feel like one,” McNeill said. “It will feel like home,” with a family-style dining room and labyrinth garden among its amenities.

Western Night at the Races benefits a different charity each year and raised around $2,000 for the Worcester County Development Center in 2013.

Tickets sold out early to the event and Foultz anticipates another sell-out year with just 125 spots available.

“We sell out every year,” she said.

Call Foultz at 410-641-7667 or Barbara Mazzei at 410-208-0430 to purchase tickets to Western Night at the Races, taking place Thursday, July 10.

No tickets will be on sale at the door so participants must buy them in advance.

The event starts at 4:30 p.m. at Ocean Downs Race Track on Racetrack Road. Attendees should enter at the left side of the track rather than going up the steps, Foultz said.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) As many as 1,000 people are expected to attend a secret alternative arts and music festival being held at an undisclosed location in Berlin on Saturday, June 28.

The festival, curated by Matt Dove, former professional skateboarder and owner of Punk Rock Fish Studio, will be free, family friendly and open to the public.

“If you know, then you know,” said Dove. “If you don’t get it then we just want to let you know the motivation and what we’re trying to do without it turning into something that it’s just not really all about.”

Dove said his motivation centers on bringing “youthful art and culture” to Berlin.

“We want people to have a respect for alternative arts,” he said. “I feel like Berlin is an art and history town, which it’s always done well with, but times change and the artwork side of it as far as progression has stalled; the talent is there, but I think the spectrum is lacking.

“I don’t want the place that I live to be looked at as ‘just a tourist trap’ like Ocean City,” Dove continued. “I want it to be legitimate. If I’m going to be an artist here I’m going to do everything I can to round it out. It’s a round world out there; it’s not square.”

Rather than “ruffle any feathers” over the issue, Dove decided to give the public a place to experience the very culture he felt was lacking.

“We want to show them that what we’re doing is really not so different,” he said. “There’s room for all kinds of media, and open mindedness will only progress the area for the arts.

Arts attract artists, which, in turn attracts attention which, in the big picture for people that really care about it, attracts visitors and legitimate reasons for coming to Berlin besides the small-town quaintness.”

That quaintness, insisted Dove, will only carry the town so far.

“You come here once you see everything, you come here twice you love it, you come here three times and you might want to see something a little different,” he said.

Last year’s festival drew 500 people and featured a performance from H.R., lead singer of Washington D.C. punk rock pioneers Bad Brains.

Dove is calling this year’s festival “Old Pro,” after the ubiquitous Ocean City golf course.

Six bands are slated for the show: Ocean City-based The Hooplas, Philadelphia skate rock band McRad, Rhode Island group the Loud Ones, featuring pro skater Fred Smith, Ocean City surf rock act the Phantom Limbs, Frederick-based Old Indian and a special appearance from H.R. All the bands are playing for free.

Donations will be accepted and split See SIX Page 51

The Next Ice Age offers ‘feel-good show’ for all ages

Continued from Page 50 between the acts.

Four bushels of crabs have been donated to the festival and will be steamed on site, and chicken and corn – Eastern Shore staples – will also be available.

Dove has secured all the necessary permits, obtained insurance for the festival and has hired security – but the location will probably never be officially released, although hints could be dropped by an undisclosed radio station this week.

The station is expected to broadcast from the undisclosed location during the Old Pro festival. Blink, and you might miss it.

Continued from Page 49 show, there are always going to be people who are dragged to the show,” he said. “I try to choreograph to those people.”

“It’s just a feel-good show,” Murphy added. “There’s something for everyone.”

Watch the Ocean City show every night at 6:30 p.m. through Aug. 20, ringside at the Carousel Hotel on 118th Street. Shows are a half hour long and free to the standing public.

Those who wish to eat dinner during the show should call the hotel in advance at 800-641-0011 to make a reservation for ringside dining.

CLJ Baskets with Love to benefit from fundraiser

(June 27, 2014) Join CLJ Baskets with Love Inc. for its annual fundraiser at Jolly Roger Amusement Park on 30th Street, Saturday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

CLJ Baskets with Love Inc. is a nonprofit organization that supports the parents of hospitalized children.

“My parents, Derek Sr. and Joanne Jarmon, are the founders of CLJ. It was created in honor of my younger brother, Cameron L. Jarmon who passed away in 2001,” said Derek Jarmon. “During his time here with us, Cameron spent numerous stints at Johns Hopkins due to a heart defect he was born with. From the day he was born to the age of 5 (when he passed), Cameron would undergo various procedure and even open heart surgery.”

Wristbands for the June 28 fundraising event will be sold in advance for $30. They will not be sold at the door. Purchase includes unlimited access to Splash Mountain and miniature golf as well as amusement rides.

“My family and I know first hand what it feels like to sit in a hospital waiting room full of questions, uncertainty, helplessness and nothing to hold onto, but your prayers,” he said.

“We create baskets with toiletry items for the families so they don’t have to worry about leaving their child’s side for things such as a tooth brush, comb, soap or lotion. When your child is sick and in need of a serious procedure, you don’t have time to stop and plan/pack because you don’t know how long you will be away…Our hope is that our kind gesture will help ease some of the load for these families and that they know someone sympathizes with them. This is a legacy for us, a way to keep Cameron’s name alive and help those in need just as we were at one time.”

For questions or to purchase a wristband, call 410-641-2557 or 410422-1472.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) The OCMD Scavenger Hunt is back on the beach this Saturday taking contestants across Ocean City to find items, take photographs, complete challenges, answer trivia and bar hop between 14 locations.

Last year, around 35 teams signed up for the challenge, posing for photos in front of a dinosaur on a miniature golf course, bringing back stickers from Ocean City bars and even taking back a live crab, and Event Coordinator Ryan Evans expects even more to participate this year.

“It’s the most epic and fun scavenger hunt on the beach,” Evans said. “We definitely try to make sure people have a lot of fun.”

The third annual event kicks off with registration and a pre-party at Fish Tales on 22nd Street Saturday from 12-2 p.m.

Teams will check in or sign up, receive their lists for the hunt and enjoy drink specials.

Then at 2 p.m., the race is on, taking the teams to 14 bars from 22nd Street to 127th as they complete list items and compete for top prizes. This year, the event might even incorporate the Dew Tour, which will be taking place on Ocean City’s downtown beach at the same time, Evans said.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist being pressured into meeting your self-imposed deadline. This is important if you really feel that taking more time to finish a project could save time in the long run.

ets and the top 23 teams will take something home, Evans said.

“If you come, you have a pretty good chance of winning,” he said.

Event planning company Lindy Promotions, Inc. brought the OCMD Scavenger Hunt to the city three years ago.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t be surprised if, in spite of your wellmade plans, something goes awry.

But don’t worry. Your knowledge of the facts plus your Arian charm will help you work it out.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A personal relationship seems to be demanding more than you feel you’re able to give. Best advice: Confront the issue. You could find the situation surprisingly easy to work through.

HOROSCOPE

Go with the Flo

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A vacation choice seems less interesting than when you first made it. Could it be a matter of the place or the people going with you? Find out before you consider a change of plans.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Someone might be overriding your Leonine logic to get you to agree to “favors” you would normally avoid. Take a new look at what you’ve been asked to do and see if you’ve been misled.

Try to keep that emerging “judgmental” aspect in check this week. Too many critiques on relatively unimportant issues could create a lot of negative bounce-back reactions.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)

Facing unpleasant facts about an associate isn’t easy. But ignoring them isn’t wise. Ask a trusted (and neutral) friend to help guide you on what to do and how you might do it.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A shift in opinion regarding a

workplace situation could go a long way in vindicating the stand you’ve taken. But be aware that a satisfactory resolution could still be a long way off.

the easy way rather than the right way to do things. So, follow your instincts and feel assured they will lead you to the right decision. Good luck.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Hold off on making a per-

sonal commitment until you find out what it really entails and whose interests are actually involved. There could be hidden facts you need to know.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new friend offers an unexpected

opportunity that could lead to a career change. Check it out carefully and consider getting an assessment from someone familiar with this field.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A

surprising discovery leads to mixed reactions from those involved in the “revelation.” But as you come to appreciate the truth, you’ll be able to also come to terms with your feelings.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of travel helps you appreciate the wonders of the world. You would find a satisfying career in any travel-related industry.

OCMD Scavenger Hunt 2013 participants flex for the camera.

Teams should wear costumes Seventeen contestants competed in Fish Tales’ sixth annual hot dog-eating contest on July 4 last year. A stage for competitors and bleachers for spectators were set up in the parking lot of the 22nd Street bayside restaurant.

Qualify now for July 4 competition

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 27, 2014) There is only one week left to qualify for Fish Tales Bar & Grill’s seventh annual Independence Day “Top Dog” hot dog-eating contest.

Anyone 18 and older who is interested in competing in the July 4 event

may stop by the 22nd Street bayside bar and restaurant at anytime during the day to speedily consume five delistyle hot dogs and buns. A Fish Tales representative will time each participant, and the 20 people with the fastest times will move on to the finals, scheduled to take place Friday, July 4, at 2 p.m.

The cost to take part in the qualifier is $5, which will go toward the prize money pot.

“I would love to see a local [dethrone] the previous ‘top dogs,’” said Brandon Hemp, Fish Tales manager and contest coordinator.

A stage will be assembled in the See ‘TOP Page 56

Continued from Page 52 teams is minimal, Evans said.

“We basically sit down and brainstorm all kinds of crazy things anybody who would be coming to the beach would have,” he said.

Teams are encouraged to come in costume, which have ranged from sharks and boy scouts to a group of middle-aged senior weekers in the past.

“It’s the biggest scavenger hunt Ocean City’s seen,” Evans said.

Register today for $40 for a team of four to eight people at http://www.lindypromo.com/event/oc md-scavenger-hunt. Or, sign up the day of the scavenger hunt for $50 per team.

‘Top Dog’ will win $1,000, trophy for eating most franks Continued from Page 55 parking lot of Fish Tales for the competitive eaters who advance to the July 4 main event, which is modeled after Nathan’s famous Fourth of July international contest. Fish Tales and Coors Light are sponsoring the event.

Dietz & Watson will supply the hot dogs.

Spectators of Fish Tales’ competition will be able to watch the 10minute gorge fest from bleachers set up in front of the stage. Hot dogs will be sold during the event.

DJ BK will emcee the competition again this year.

The “Top Dog” will win $1,000 and a trophy. Cash prizes will also be awarded to the second- and thirdplace finishers.

The 2012 winner, Jamie McDonald of Connecticut, was crowned the champion again in 2013, devouring 36 hot dogs. He won a trophy and $1,000. Connecticut resident Joe Menchetti ate 22.5 hot dogs and finished in second place. He was awarded $500. Nick Rivers of Laurel, Md., downed 19.5 hot dogs and buns last year, good for third place and $250.

Sidewalk sale at WMM this wknd.

(June 27, 2014) White Marlin Mall will hold its annual Super Summer Sidewalk Sale, Friday, June 27, through Sunday, June 29, at the mall, located in West Ocean City at 12641 Ocean Gateway, a half-mile past Route 50 Bridge, according to Matt Mittenthal, vice president and assistant director of asset management at Greenberg Gibbons Commercial, the mall’s leasing and property management firm.

The three-day sale is scheduled to run all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday until regular close of business at participating merchants.

“The White Marlin Mall Sidewalk Sale gives late June shoppers a chance to find a wide range of values just as the resort season shifts into high gear,” Mittenthal said.

Participating White Marlin Mall merchants will display their merchandise on the sidewalk areas directly in front of their stores.

“Shoppers will find some of the best priced merchandise of the year on the sidewalks of White Marlin Mall,” Mittenthal said. “It has become a tradition that White Marlin Mall is known to hold a well-attended Fall Sidewalk Sale during Ocean City’s Sunfest celebration. Our Spring Sidewalk Sale gives those who visit Ocean City from June 27 to June 29 the opportunity to experience an earlier version of the same event as the

summer season approaches the Fourth of July holiday.”

A preview of all the stores at White Marlin Mall can be seen at www.whitemarlinmall.com.

Built in 1987, White Marlin Mall with its 200,000 square-feet of retail shops is located adjacent to the 180,000 square-foot Ocean City Factory Outlets. When both facilities are combined, they comprise the largest shopping center complex in the greater Ocean City area.

‘Shoppers will find some of the best priced merchandise of the year on the sidewalks of White Marlin Mall.’

Matt Mittenthal, vice president and assistant director of asset management at Greenberg Gibbons Commercial In 2003, Greenberg Gibbons Commercial initiated an extensive renovation and re-tenanting program that successfully attracted new tenants such as Marshalls and Staples. An additional renovation and expansion took place in 2008 with the addition of four major establishments–Bed Bath & Beyond, Panera Bread, PetCo and Michaels.

White Marlin Mall is located next to the Ocean City Tanger Outlets. Easily accessible from Route 50, White Marlin Mall occupies more than 1,700 feet of frontage along Route 50/Ocean Gateway. This easy access allows locals and visitors to experience the perfect complement of one of the largest concentrations of contemporary stores on Maryland’s Eastern Shore for an exciting shopping experience.

Shoppers will find savings on a broad range of merchandise along with dependable shopping suggestions from the mall’s knowledgeable shopkeepers.

White Marlin Mall stores are Marshalls, Dressbarn, Dunkin’ Donuts, Five Guys, Park Place Jewelers, Staples Office Supplies Superstore, Dollar Tree, RadioShack, PetCo and Farmers Bank of Willards.

Other White Marlin Mall stores include Bed, Bath & Beyond, Panera Bread, FiveBelow, Cutting Crew, Jiffy Lube, Wendy’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, the AT&T Store, and Pier 1 Imports.

Additional White Marlin Mall shops and stores include Michaels Crafts; Bath and Body Works’ Sleepy’s; Wockenfuss Candy; U.S. Postal Service branch; Hallmark News Center; GameStop and Nice Nails Salon.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Making pops entertaining activity for children Continued from Page 59 past strengthens the bonds of support while the present emulsifies the chances of a fruitful future.

Making these pops is an entertaining activity for a children’s party or simply a rainy day where outside events are not an option. The pops can also be customized for holidays or special occasions by rolling them in coordinated sauces and colored sprinkles.

Many recipes are available but a few helpful hints incorporate success.

Placing a stick in the fluffy marshmallow is the foundation for the pop. But what ensures permanent security?

Melted chocolate is the answer. Dipping the stick in chocolate and then skewering it in the marshmallow acts like glue. Suggestion — if one is using white marshmallows, white chocolate

blends in with the construction so the theme is the main focal point.

That being said, do not feel one has to be limited to using white marshmallows; colored marshmallows open the doors to ingenuity. The options of small, medium, and large are available but honesty must prevail. The larger marshmallows are easier to work unless function dictates the smaller variety.

Finally, placing the pops to dry can be a challenging task; for every problem there is a solution. Wrap floral foam with aluminum foil. This allows the pops to dry upright and does not interfere with the fruits of your labor.

Marshmallow pops are ideal for the whimsical fancy of children, while at the same time satisfying the “inner child” of any adult. Enjoy, have fun,

and let one’s imagination run wild.

Ingredients 1 pound semisweet chocolate chips ½ cup white chocolate chips 16 large white marshmallows 16 lollipop sticks favorite toppings such as assorted sprinkles, nonpareils, jimmies, flaked coconut, ground walnuts, and crushed Oreo cookies flower foam aluminum foil 1. In a microwave or double boiler, melt white and semisweet chocolate separately according to package directions.

2. Place favorite toppings in small, separate bowls.

3. Dip the lollipop stick in the white chocolate and insert into the marshmallow. Place the marshmallow up-

side down to dry. This process acts as a glue and keeps the stick from sliding out of the marshmallow. Repeat with the rest of the marshmallows.

4. Cover the flower foam with aluminum foil.

5. Roll each marshmallow in chocolate and favorite topping.

6. Place completed marshmallow stick-side down into the floral foam to dry. Repeat this process until all of the marshmallow pops are completed.

7. Refrigerate for at 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

Secret Ingredients - Truth. “It is easier to receive error than to find the truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.” –Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Guests attending the Caine Woods picnic have a great time.

A beautiful sunset in Caine Woods.

Kemp ‘up and ready to take on the real world’

By Irish Kemp Contributing Writer (June 27, 2014) I’m back. A little discombobulated, but up and ready to take on the real world.

How ‘bout all those visitors?

Amazing the crowd that came to our little oceanside city, June 13-15, to view the air show and festivities at Northside Park. Many thanks to the

OC police department. All is well that ends well.

My first venture out into the real world was to Knights of Columbus, ladies’ annual bingo last Wednesday.

It’s a known fact that I’m not a fan of bingo, but this chance to mingle with the locals and bingo-loving fans to raise money for a good cause presented a great way to get back in the

swing of things. Thanks to chairwoman, Pat Luckett. She and her crew of volunteers do a great job of making these semi-annual bingo fundraisers, for worthy causes, so successful.

Thanks also to Peggy O’Malley, Cathy Bocci, Dolores Cymek, Margo Cararo, Maureen O’Brien, Jim Crabill and all the guys that volunteered

their services.

Who knows, as I get older I might forget that bingo is not my game and buy tickets well in advance for the Knight’s ladies annual Fall Bingo.

OC iz de place to be for retirees. In fact, if you’re looking around, check out the local homes on the market.

Caine Woods nice location to watch summer sunsets Continued from Page 61 the woods these days.

Many happy returns to birthday kids Michael Boccia, Jackie Heath, Jim Crabill, Patty Halsey, Roland Murray, Naomi Popolo, Jim O’Neill, Jackie Denhardt, Jean Ann Zecca, Jack Whitmer and Dottie Gimes.

Happy anniversary also to Neil and Kathy Foote, Nick and Pam Galvin, Frank and Patricia Gorey, Chuck and Peg Burnett, John and Joan Sauer, Fran and Dot Ruffo and Marty and Toni Presley.

Rumors are that Marty is Elvis’ fourth cousin, but don’t expect me to confirm this rumor until Elvis’ next appearance around our town.

I often wonder, now that the baby boomers are coming of age, if Howdy’s Princess summer, fall, winter and spring had anything to do with the erratic weather we’re having this year. Maybe she’s miffed because Howdy Doody reruns are not featured on TV. Surely the powers that be of cable TV could dig up some of the old shows and make them a five o’clock live feature. Who knows, maybe this generation of grandkids will keep their eyes glued to the screen and unwittingly eat their greens. No sugar, no fat, that’s what it’s all about these days.

Believe it or not, the Howdy Doody cast and crew put on a show in OC a couple years ago. How do I know? I crossed paths with Buffalo Bob in the lobby of the Clarion hotel on 101st Street. Too bad my baby boomers were not there. I had a hard time convincing them he was still alive.

“Wood-en” you know Howdy Doody was propped on his knee, but he wouldn’t talk to me without Bob’s permission.

It’s a full house these days in the little park in Caine Woods. Folks come from all over to watch the beautiful sunsets. Tis true, the best things in life are free. Just ask Margy, with a “y” whom I crossed paths at the sunset and the next day at the Caine Woods picnic.

ON GUARD

Swimming in unguarded water never good idea OCBP slogan: ‘Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!’

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (June 27, 2014) “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”

This is our trademark slogan that you will see many places throughout Ocean City. It’s not just a catchy phrase that you can see on the Seaboard Boat, back of lifeguard stands and many other signs throughout Ocean City, but more importantly a helpful reminder that swimming in unguarded water is never a good idea.

Although this advice applies to pools, it is even more important when swimming in open water such as lakes, rivers and oceans, which have uneven bottoms, changing currents and sudden drop-offs and changes in depth. The best way to stay aware of these quickly changing conditions is to check-in with the nearest Surf Rescue Technician (SRT) each day before you or your loved ones enter the water. This also allows the SRT to get to know you and your family and can be aware of any special circumstances

and lets any children know that “their” lifeguard is there to help.

People tend to leave their cares, concerns and their common sense behind them when they come to the beach. No one can blame them, vacationers have worked hard and they

simply want to enjoy their time by the ocean. Most people believe that nothing bad is going to happen while they are on vacation and that they will never be the unfortunate victim of an accident or injury while enjoying a day at the beach. The possibility of a

tragedy occurring with a loved one is the furthest thing from their mind when they choose to go swimming without a lifeguard.

However, it is important to remember that the ocean is not just a fun place to spend a vacation, it is a natural, ever changing dynamic environment and like all natural phenomena, if it is not treated respectfully it can be deadly. There are sad stories about people who have lost their lives because they chose to swim at night or in the early morning without anyone to guard them.

We have already had several instances this summer of people that had to be rescued when lifeguards were not on duty. Many times these situations when people choose to swim when guards are not on duty end in a tragedy. Even experienced swimmers and surfers have lost their lives swimming alone with no one to help them when things go wrong.

Lifeguards and people dedicated to water/beach safety feel frustrated by these stories. There is no need for anyone to lose a family member on vacation. It is a tragedy that could be so easily avoided.

The ocean is constantly moving and changing. To the untrained eye it See CURRENTS Page 65

ON GUARD

Currents on calm day can still be dangerous Continued from Page 64 can look calm and safe, but currents on the calmest day can still be dangerous. Never be shy about asking your lifeguard about water conditions. Their job is to recognize the danger and educate beach patrons about it. If you hear them blow their whistle, look and see whom they might be trying to communicate with.

It could be you.

The lifeguards will use their flags to direct you out of harm’s way. Often during the summer we see a lot of wildlife activity out in the ocean. There could be whale sightings and very often, dolphins traveling close to shore. Although these creatures aren’t normally harmful to humans, it’s safer to simply move out of their way and let them pass. Lifeguards have a better view of what is going on from their guard stand and will move you away from the less dan-

gerous occurrences such as these and the more dangerous situations such as rip currents.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol also enforces rules, ordinances and regulations that I am sure some visitors find annoying, but each regulation has been put in place for a reason.

The beach patrol is responsible for maintaining a safe, secure and enjoyable environment for all of our visitors and ensuring that they may enjoy their vacation time. Please remember that if the lifeguard asks you to play ball at the back of the beach, fill in a hole, or move an umbrella out of their line of sight, they are doing this to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable beach experience and can return for many more.

We hope you enjoy your time here in Ocean City. Follow the directions of the lifeguards and never underestimate the incredible power of the ocean. Never swim alone or when lifeguards are not on duty. Remember our slogan and pass it on to fam-

ily, friends or anyone whose life you value: “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”

Captain’s Note: Every member of the beach patrol is fully tested and certified before they ever have the privilege of guarding you or your loved ones. The bottom line that determines if I offer them a job is a positive response to the question: “Would I trust them to guard someone in my family?”

However, even with the most highly qualified and expertly trained lifeguards on the stands, we still need your help. If you are not a highly skilled swimmer with ocean experience, remain close to shore. It takes even the fastest runner and swimmer some time to get to you and the further out you are in trouble, the more time it takes for us to help you. Never rely on an artificial flotation device in place of actual swimming ability.

These devices just give swimmers a false sense of security, because in the surf that flotation could be lost and

suddenly make the user an actively drowning victim.

The ocean and beach are wonderful places to enjoy a summer day, just remember that the ocean is not the same as a neighborhood pool. Our first priority is to keep all beach patrons safe, but we cannot control the ocean. When hazards exist where people are swimming, it is our job to guide them out of harm’s way or when necessary to swim out and assist them back to safety.

Our job is made easier when we have their patience, understanding and assistance. Remember, if you hear a whistle take the time to stop what you are doing and look toward the SRT who is attempting to get someone’s attention. It may be you and if you need help, you should wave your arms over your head indicating to the SRT that you need their assistance. To help us keep you safe always check in with the lifeguard on the stand and never go in the ocean if the beach patrol is not on duty.

May fundraising events successful More than $19,000 raised for Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care organization

(June 27, 2014) Two major events in May raised more than $19,000 for Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care. The funds raised support the charity care the non-profit organization provides to the four Lower Shore counties, which totaled more than $775,000 in 2013.

The annual Hats for Hospice Party during the Kentucky Derby, brought in more than $10,000. The event was held at the riverfront home of Bob and Sandy Esham of Salisbury and included a live broadcast of the race and a derby hat contest.

The honoree at the event was Malcolm W. “Mac” Peverley of Salisbury, Coastal Hospice board member and 2014 recipient of the Coastal Hospice Charter Society Anchor Award for his generosity, leadership and vision for the organization.

The annual Geranium Sale raised $9,000 in its 30th and final year, spearheaded by long-time hospice development committee member, Ernie Matthews and supported by more than 40 volunteers.

More than 5,000 plants were purchased this year by gardeners in the four Lower Shore counties to support

the mission of Coastal Hospice.

Since the Geranium Sale has been in existence, the annual event has netted more than $250,000 that helped fund Coastal Hospice charity care.

Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for

individuals facing life-limiting conditions but who want to remain as active and engaged as possible. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted-living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake.

Equestrian center up and running Riding lessons, boarding offered at Bay Point facility, on 34-acre prop. in Berlin

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 27, 2014) Thirteen horses and 34 acres of carefully manicured riding property are waiting for area riders of all ages at Bay Point Equestrian Center.

The new business, located at 11655 Rotherwood Lane in Berlin, debuted in March and offers riding lessons, boarding and partial leases on horses. Construction on the property began last summer and was completed in December.

Owner Jessica Snyder began riding horses at the age of 9, and met her trainer, Mallory Distler, while attending Perdue University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we both graduated I came out here and started looking for a place,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mallory went to work for the Indiana Horsing Commission, and then left there to start teaching full time at Indiana.â&#x20AC;?

When Distler was looking for a change of scenery, Snyder jumped at the chance to recruit her old college friend as head trainer at the center.

Snyder said the business was primarily a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lesson barn.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have spots available for See THIRTEEN Page 69

Thirteen horses available for riding lessons Continued from Page 67 boarders who want to be in our lesson program with us, or who want to ship in a horse for training,” she said.

“We have about six lesson horses and ponies.”

“What I really like about the area is that it’s so close for the people in Ocean Pines who want to come and take a lesson,” Snyder continued.

“They don’t have to own a horse and they don’t have to supply their own saddles and bridles and things like that – they can come use one of ours.”

All of Bay Point’s lesson horses are also available for half-lease.

“For those who can’t afford their own horse or who just aren’t ready for that step of horse ownership or who want to see a little bit more of what it’s all about, they can come and half-lease one of our lesson horses and ride by themselves two days a week and take a lesson with us once a week,” said Snyder.

Group and private lessons lasting 45 minutes to an hour are offered to riders ages 6 and up. Mini-lessons for 3-5 year-olds are also available, each lasting 15 minutes.

“If they want to come and ride a horse but aren’t ready for that 45 minute lesson, the shorter lessons are available,” said Snyder. “It kind of helps with the younger kids. We can get them in the saddle early, but

still be safe and have them be able to focus.”

Snyder said business has been increasing steadily as the weather has warmed up.

“We get people who are coming back into town – they lived over the bridge up in Pennsylvania and they’re coming here for the summer,” she said. “They stop by and say, ‘oh, this wasn’t here before we left last year.’

“We get a lot of drop-ins who come and ask about the place,” Snyder continued. “A lot of it has been word of mouth so far, but with the kids getting out of school and things like that we’ve gotten a lot of interest.”

Bay Point recently hosted a biomechanics clinic with Kim Walnes, a former alternate for the 1984 Olympics. June 28-29 the center will offer a Jumping Clinic with Dom Schramm.

Snyder also hopes to host a few small shows in the near future.

“I think allowing students to be able to get out and see the show environment without having to leave the farm could be very helpful,” she said. “I know my first away show was a big deal, and it can be pretty scary for some people. It’s nice to be able to do it in-house first to kind of get a test run and then go out.”

Commentary

Ocean City Today

Page 92 Ah, my memories of Schwinn

OUR OPINION

Always check with lifeguards

Again.

Ocean City Beach Patrol had to rescue a person, and from what we’re told the victim had no pulse until OCBP administered CPR. The incident occurred around noon in the ocean just off of 82nd Street.

We can’t emphasize enough that the OCBP is doing a great job of protecting the swimmers in front of them and the beach area around them.

But we still get the sense that there are people just aren’t giving validation or respect to the ocean. Rip tides took the lives of two young men within weeks to start the summer.

Even in today’s Ocean City Today, our “On Guard” columnist writes about how important it is to check with the guard on duty to get real information about the ocean before you choose to dive in.

If you are reading this and you are a visitor, we along with the City want you to have a great time without fear. But this shouldn’t be about fear at all; it’s about common sense and gaining information. That’s correct. That’s not a swimming pool with depths marked off with a diving board on one end.

This is an ocean with changing currents and changing underwater topography.

You need to keep yourself and your family safe. The person on guard can help you with that. That is why he or she is there. The guards can tell you now or they can tell you later.

Now is a much better choice for everyone concerned.

Even one drowning on our beaches is way too big number. But OCBP lifeguards can’t help you unless you help yourselves.

At the risk of being repetitive, don’t be timid about approaching the guard stand and asking the young man or woman sitting there if there are any precautions to take for you and your family’s safety.

It’s important.

Do it.

THE PUBLIC EYE

Not good people, not good EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

By Phil Jacobs

Tuesday’s voter turnout was an embarrassment.

We live in a time when voters have every opportunity to cast ballots, be it through early voting, absentee or taking time out on election day to visit one’s precinct and vote.

Across the state we learn that maybe 20 percent of Maryland’s over three million voters managed to cast a ballot on Tuesday.

So if you don’t particularly care for the primary winners, then we’re hoping beyond hope that you make that statement at the November 4 general election.

This was the first time state primaries were held in June instead of the fall. Yes, it is also the summer and voters are potentially taking vacations or tossing their cares away after the long, brutal Maryland winter.

Locally, the numbers pretty much matched state as about 20 percent of the voters showed up at precincts. There were some polling places that went hours seeing only a handful of voters. We’re talking less than 10 in an hour. Other polling places had more volunteers handing out literature than people to get the last-minute ballot endorsements.

But we’ve got to do better than this. It’s an awful example to our children. A low vote can change an election’s outcome. On Tuesday, the weather was beautiful. You say you didn’t know the primary was June this year? How many media reminders did any of us need to not know about the primary? Candidate advertisements were everywhere to be seen.

Television became a battleground in gubernatorial and attorney general races. On the social networks, the primary election discussions were inescapable. Riding down the road, how many election signs did we all see?

There were so many election signs at some places that it was difficult to find a street sign

or store sign that we were looking for.

In some countries, people risk their lives to be able to vote.

We risk perhaps standing in line or running the gauntlet between candidate volunteers handing out election day materials. Or we risk plainly just getting off of the sofa, into the car and over to the precinct.

What, you don’t think your vote will count? Well it certainly would have counted more during this terrible turnout. Worcester County and a 30 percent turnout for the elections in 2010. That isn’t so great either.

After Tuesday, we were asking suppose they had an election and nobody showed?

Okay, so maybe the candidates weren’t so great this time around.

Still if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

How about if a primary election is held in Maryland in June, does everybody care?

We’ll see what happens now as Lt. Governor Anthony Brown, the Democrats’ pick to run for governor against Republican Larry Hogan.

We saw a great deal of Mr. Hogan and his campaign bus leading into the primaries. He even walked recently in the fireman’s parade.

Haven’t seen too much of the Lieutenant Gov. That would be a plus for Eastern Shore voters to show up at the polls if Mr. Hogan would return and the Lt. Gov. would make at least more than a showing.

The general election can’t just be about suburban Washington and suburban Baltimore. Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore have voters as well. But we didn’t show up on Tuesday just like the rest of the state.

Now, more than ever in this coming general election, not showing up is not an option.

Unfortun a t e l y , skateboarding and BMX bike riding began their climb in popularity in this counBy try at the same time Stewart that the Dobson aging process was busy introducing me to the exciting world of joint pain.

As a result, I never had the opportunity to try – on purpose, anyway – a 1080vert-can-can-double whiplash-sprocket-eater, or whatever it is they call doing upside-down doughnuts in the air with a degree of control sufficient to avoid having to visit a proctologist after a bad landing.

“Let’s see, Mr. Dobson.

Whoa! You’re going to need what we call a Schwinn-ectomy. Don’t bother getting him a wheelchair, nurse, Mr. Dobson already has his own wheels. Hahahaha!”

Nevertheless, I enjoy watching skateboard and BMX competitions, because it reminds me of my youth.

Besides, going end-over-end on a bike in the air is nothing as compared to pulling the same maneuver on the ground, which apparently really hurts.

Her name was Martha and she was a sniffy little thing, as in her nose was always in the air because she had our town’s first Schwinn Stingray, the original BMX bike.

It was on a Saturday, as I recall, that she whizzed by me on the street as I lumbered mightily on my 700pound American Flyer, complete with “gas tank” between the crossbars and playing cards clothespinned to the wheel frame to make the bike sound like a (very small) motorcycle as they fluttered against the spokes.

Memories of bike days, Schwinn sometimes hurt THE PUBLIC EYE Continued from Page 92 She looked at me briefly and sniffed as she flashed by, but almost immediately proceeded to get the strap of her little purse caught in the spokes of the front wheel. The slow motion replay would have shown this: sudden stop, bike skids, hits pothole, goes up in the air, turns (almost) 360 degrees and comes down, followed by an expression of her dismay.

In real time, it went like this: wham-wham-wham â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waaaaaaaahhhhhh!â&#x20AC;?

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop to lend assistance, as I had finally achieved some decent momentum and instead continued to steamroller home savoring the moment.

Consequently, should you see me in the stands this weekend watching and chuckling as the Dew Tour athletes do their stunts, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not laughing at them. I admit itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not right, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think of the sniffy Martha incident. You might say she became a Schwinn spokesperson, but not in a good way.

Retirement funding could look worse before better Continued from Page 36 putting away more money now?â&#x20AC;? queried Councilman Brent Ashley.

Again, Binder said, realizing future cost savings via lower amortization payments now, combined with the already-assumed four-percent annual payment increase, means the city will pay less up front even though it continues to accrue AAL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under this method, we already expect the number to increase each year, roughly in line with your payroll,â&#x20AC;? he said.

However, Binder said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;since your fund is well under 50 percent funded, I would certainly encourage you to put more money in the fund, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a political policy decision.â&#x20AC;?

Historically, the city has always contributed the exact AAL amortization, as well as Normal Cost, every year. This combined number is known as the Annual Required Contribution.

Under upcoming revisions by the Government Accounting Standards Board, municipalities such as Ocean City will be required to show any deviation from this contribution as a credit or debit on their annual financial statements. But the town is not required by GASB to make the ARC

that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;requiredâ&#x20AC;? to keep the plan on track.

However, city Finance Administrator Martha Bennett presented, and council approved, a funding policy memorandum that would have the town continue to contribute the ARC every year using the current methodology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important for us to maintain the funding system weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used in the past,â&#x20AC;? Bennett said.

Not good showing on election day; need to improve EDITORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTEBOOK Continued from Page 92 One Baltimore columnist appropriately wrote that in the Ukraine, voters had the threat of running into armed men in ski masks who blocked the way to polling places.

We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any of that. We had a lazy summer election day in June with a possible threat of light rain.

Not good people. Not good.
