This house on Adkins Road was destroyed by fire last Friday.

(Aug. 9, 2013) Striking back against the city’s increasing crime profile – and against those who say he has taken too soft a stance on it – Mayor Rick Meehan this week touted an escalation of the Ocean City Police Department’s surveillance and intelligence capabilities as a more measured approach to addressing the problem.

“This has been in the works for a while,” Meehan said at Monday night’s council session. “I think the chief [OCPD Chief Ross Buzzuro] will be coming forward with a very in-depth plan.

“I think you’re going to see an intelligence division formed, and formed with the proper training,” Meehan said.

“I think you’re going to see an increase in the presence of cameras as well.”

Meehan’s announcements came after intense criticism over what many believe to be the city’s faltering image in terms of crime and crime deterrence.

“I support you, but I do not know if it is a lack of leadership or simply denial that has prevented you from moving forward,” said resident Rachel Fiorello.

Fiorello has submitted a number of letters to the mayor, some of which have been published in local newspapers, including this one, without what she said was a satisfactory response to the “menacing, threatening, and overall low standard of behavior” among those visiting the resort.

Anti-crime plan entails possible intelligence division been Councilman Brent Ashley, who has himself come under intense fire from his colleagues for pushing too hard on his proposed Boardwalk decency ordinance or “saggy pants law” that, in Ashley’s opinion, would reduce the prevalence of “thug-like” appearances and attitudes on the Boardwalk.

But Ashley’s opponents have argued that his frequent publicization of the matter has only served to worsen public perception of the Boardwalk environment, given that the belief in crime, even more so than the crime itself, is a threat to the resort’s tourism industry.

That heated dispute continued this week.

“You can keep being negative, but I don’t have to hear it,” fumed Council President Lloyd Martin. “You need to start working for the town, not against it.”

“I don’t work for the town, I work for the taxpayers,” countered Ashley, who noted that he has “significant differences in approach” to the issue than Martin and Meehan.

“I’m not the one committing the crimes,” Ashley said. “I’m the one trying to get you to do something about them.”

Meehan continued this week to characterize recent crimes, such as stabbings, free-for-alls, bank robberies, Continued from Page 1A

and a shooting, as “isolated incidents” that “drew more attention than in the past.”

However, he admitted, “perception alone can take a toll.”

“This year was one of the worst I’ve seen as far as things that we don’t expect to happen,” Meehan said. “I think what we’ve learned is that we have to anticipate these problems.”

The increase in police intelligence and surveillance, as pushed by Meehan this week, has been expected for some time. Last year, the city spent $76,000 to include a number of surveillance technology upgrades in the Boardwalk reconstruction project.

While the boards were pulled up, the city finished installing fiber optic cables, as well as switches and servers, to run 10 new Boardwalk security cameras. That number has been bumped up to 12, according to OCPD Public Information Officer Mike Levy, with the mounting of two additional cameras on the Caroline Street restroom project that is scheduled to be completed at the end of the month.

“It’s a continuing effort,” Levy said.

“The key word for us here is ‘force multiplication.’ The long-term goal of the project is to have visual surveillance capabilities in areas that we can’t cover with the number of actual officers we have at any time.”

ple locations in real time. Camera images would also continue to be useful in pursuing the perpetrators after a crime has been committed.

“It’s an extreme example, but take the Boston Marathon bombing – even though you had a large concentration of officers at the scene, those visual surveillance images that captured the event were what broke the case,” Levy said.

Meehan also suggested that the department will be expanding its use of license plate readers to identify vehicles as they come into town.

“The tag readers give us the ability to identify a potential problem person,” Levy said. “It will give us alerts for suspensions, stolen tags, and outstanding warrants.”

According to Levy, the OCPD will be aiming to set up monitoring stations where officers can keep tabs on multi-

Perception of crime, warranted or not, adversely affects tourism What goes on in the midst of large events, such as the OC Air Show or Dew Tour, can be captured by camera when officers are unable to keep an eye on the sheer volume of people.

“We have a city that grows so immense in the summer and we have a limited number of public safety assets,” Levy said. “That will always be the core issue.”

However, he acknowledged that there is “a strong concern in the public that big brother is going to watch everything.”

“Any citizen who understands what our fundamental goal is will certainly understand that that is not at all what we intend to do with these camera systems,” Levy said. “They’re going in public areas only – it would be no different Continued from Page 3A

than having an officer standing on the street corner. These are areas where we would want to put an officer, but don’t have the manpower to do so.”

“The locations of these cameras are supported by statistics, our officers’ experience and need,” he added. “All of this is part of a plan and will unfold over time as it’s implemented.”

City officials have continued to press that overall police activity in the resort is down, despite a handful of high-visibility incidents that have elevated the relative public profile of the city’s crime. Total OCPD calls for service were down 6.3 percent for June. Of these, officer-initiated service was down 4.4 percent, while service calls originating from the public were down 11 percent.

“Citizen complaints are down be-

cause our officers are working that much harder,” Martin said. “Clearly, we’re doing something right.”

Comparative arrest data for this year is difficult to read, however, since it has been somewhat artificially lowered by new state laws. Maryland is now allowing certain minor criminal offenses to be dealt with via citation, instead of a full custodial arrest and arraignment.

Many of the offenses affected are drug-related – a category of arrests that made up the bulk of the OCPD’s work last June. The Ocean City Police Department made 505 drug arrests in June 2012, according to its year-end report, almost as many as in July and August combined. That number has plummeted for this year to 236.

But what does appear to be on the rise are weapons arrests, which the

OCPD’s latest data show totaled 65 for June 2013, more than double the 32 reported in June 2012. This would, ostensibly, support the theory pushed by Ashley and some others that what crime remains in the resort is of a more severe and onerous variety than the minor drug infractions that have padded numbers in the past.

Regardless of the hard numbers, however, the major fear for the resort is that the public perception of crime, accurate or not, will hurt tourism.

“If tourism money is a concern to the political leadership and the business leadership, then let’s fast-forward three years or so and recognize that without recognizing these issues, and some sort of intervention, tourism will tank,” Fiorello said.

That intervention, Ashley said, has to buoy public confidence that the resort is taking a hard line to improve its image and environment.

“I think that’s what people are looking for,” Ashley said. “You can explain it away with the cameras or what you think the police chief is going to do, but in the end you need to take a strong position yourself.”

“I just don’t believe in a ‘ready, aim, shoot’ attitude,” Meehan countered.

“The problem can grow more than it needs to if you don’t take a step back. If you want me to get up and stomp my feet and do my best Harry Kelley impression, that’s not who I am.”

But Ashley was not alone in his apparent suspicion that the camera program would not fix the root of the problem.

“There’s already not enough staff, enough eyes, to keep everything honed down,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas. She referenced the continuing plague of vulgar T-shirts, illegal bicycle and skateboard use, and littering on the Boardwalk that, while likely not matters of police intelligence, were contributing to the decline of the city’s family atmosphere.

“I know our police and staff are trying their best, but for whatever reason, it’s not working,” Pillas said. “How are we going to start enforcing the laws that we have on the books?”

A major study by the Urban Policy Institute, conducted between 2007 and 2010, found that police camera installations in Baltimore and Chicago had a quantifiable impact on reducing crime.

Cameras in Washington, D.C., however, had no discernible effect.

The cost of implementing camera surveillance versus the cost of preventing the same criminal activity with more low-tech methods, the Baltimore data showed, produced a return of $1.50 of police work for every $1 spent on cameras.

However, the study found that Baltimore’s effectiveness was due to a large number of cameras – over 500 – concentrated in a relatively small area, versus the more dispersed surveillance system used in Washington, D.C.

Twisting of tax numbers by council politics still irks city staff Town leaders engage in hot dispute about revenue figures for not the first time ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) Although City Manager David Recor ended up referring to the exchange as “disruptive and embarrassing” by the close of Monday night’s meeting, the mayor and City Council’s most recent exercise in debating facts would probably best be described as entirely speculative.

As they often do, the resort’s elected officials wasted no time this week attaching their own spin to the city’s revenue figures, whose significance has become central to the continuing political rivalry in City Hall.

“It seems that any time we try to present information, it becomes a debate,” Recor said. “It’s not a debate … this is good information.”

City Budget Manager Jennie Knapp gave the council a run-down of the year-end figures for the “other taxes” budget category, which was criticized recently by local landlord and frequent council critic Tony Christ as being over-estimated.

Although the city will not be realiz-

ing as much of a revenue boost for the 2012-2013 fiscal year as it has in the past, Knapp found, the additional money will still exceed projections.

Although the vast majority of the resort’s tax revenue comes from property taxes, it also receives a share of a number of other sales and use taxes that are collected by the county or state and partially re-appropriated to municipalities.

Foremost amongst these is the room tax, which brought the city $2,606,936 for June 2013, a mere $21,354 percent boost over the $2,585,582 garnered in the same month last year. That figure, however, was a whopping 14 percent boost – more than $350,000 – over the $2,256,495 from June 2011.

“The 2012 season turned out to be exceptional for revenue,” Knapp said.

“We’re not seeing the same gains as we did last year, but we’re still seeing an increase.”

When combined with other tax-related non-property income, such as casino profit shares and highway user fees, the city’s “other tax” total will come out roughly $1 million higher for the 2012-2013 fiscal year than the budgeted number of $14.5 million.

June 2013 ended a streak of decreases for the resort’s room tax, which had been down every month since last

Be s t Vo te d O C’s K id s St o re

October. August and September of last year were up considerably over the year prior, however, due in part to the fiscal damage done by the Hurricane Irene evacuation in August 2011.

Because the fiscal year runs from July to June, the 2012-2013 fiscal year room tax will still see a 2.74 percent increase over the prior fiscal year, despite having faltered in the off-season.

But after Council President Lloyd Martin commented that the numbers represented a “steady flow” of progress, Councilman Brent Ashley posited a less rosy picture.

“How would you explain the fact that the population count is down, but the room tax is up? Does that mean we’re charging more?” Ashley asked.

“If the hotel/motel association [the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant

Association] says that our average rate has increased five or six dollars this year … or if some condominiums that used to rent by the week or month and are now renting by the day and paying room tax because of it, that would also increase your room tax.”

“I don’t know that there’s a definitive answer to how many people are here,” Knapp replied.

“What I’m saying is that you’re talking about an economic [statistic], not necessarily a visitation statistic,” Ashley said.

“Well, ‘Mr. Negative’ had the negative side, so I’m going to have the positive side,” Mayor Rick Meehan countered.

“There’s a big difference between being negative and telling the truth,” See DESPITE on Page 6A

Despite setbacks, city will meet tax projections for ‘13 fiscal year Ashley retorted.

Both, however, pointed to anecdotal evidence or limited samples in order to make their respective points.

“I was in a meeting … where the comment [by the HMRA] was that they think their members have increased rates on weekends only,” Meehan said.

“I was speaking with another operator … who said his occupancy was up, his room-nights were up, and his rates were actually down.”

Meehan also said he had received information from Coldwell Banker Rentals, the resort’s largest rental broker, indicating that condominium occupancy was down from 2012, but still higher than 2011, likely due to foul weather discouraging last-minute bookings.

Continued from Page 5A

“The businesses that offer what the public wants and live up to the expectations of the visitors are doing well,” Meehan asserted. “Those that aren’t, and that only rely on the overflow and haven’t kept up … maybe aren’t. That’s economics, guys.”

“I don’t care how you sell it … but it’s not there,” Ashley said. “You can take a walk with me down the Boardwalk and talk to everyone who is hurting.”

“These [room tax numbers] are reflective of the fact that the cost of people coming here and the expense of coming here is up,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas. “I have to respectfully disagree with you, mayor.”

“I knew you would,” Meehan quipped.

This is largely because of Sherman’s own efforts in scouring online listings for units that do not check out with his own license registry.

“I’m constantly checking all the Realtors’ websites, Craigslist, and so on,” Sherman said.

However, Ashley also pointed to reductions of demoflush estimates, which project the city’s population based on wastewater flows, as indications of reduced visitorship. Such numbers have come under intense discredit recently as being inherently flawed.

As Councilman Dennis Dare again pointed out this week, the installation of water-saving appliances and fixtures since the 1970s, when demoflush methods were first developed, has likely caused an artificial decrease in the estimates. Recent reductions in recirculating wastewater at the city’s sewage treatment plant have likely done the same.

But significant decreases over last year, others have said, cannot be explained by the installation of low-flow toilets in the past 12 months.

“I don’t know how you’d justify a drop of 10 or 12 percent,” Pillas said.

Family Shih Tzu perishes in fire arrived at his house, nearby on Adkins Road, just a couple of minutes later.

“Smoke was billowing out and I saw fire,” he said Monday. “I just immediately dialed 911. I was hysterical, but all I could do was wait [for firefighters].”

He knew his dog, Chynna Mei, a toy Shih Tzu, was inside, so he went to the back door in hopes of rescuing her.

“I felt the door knob and it was cool,” he said.

Then he opened the door, but the fire and smoke “knocked me right back.”

He yelled for Chynna Mei, and then ran to one of the two front doors and then the other, still hollering. He unlocked the doors, but didn’t see the little dog that he had picked up in Tennessee during a blizzard three-and-a-half years ago.

As he was running to the front of his house, his wife, Joanne, arrived home and ran to open the French door on the deck. She was also looking for Chynna Mei. She walked into the hallway, but the heat and smoke knocked her back.

“When the firefighters got there, it was pretty much fully involved,” Lynch said.

Firefighters from several fire companies battled the blaze. The “tons of firemen” included paid firefighters from other jurisdictions who were vacationing in the area, he said.

SIDEWALK

Continued from Page 1A

At one point, the firefighters ran out of water and had to wait about five minutes for another tanker to arrive. They also ran hoses across Route 589 to get water from Turville Creek. They were on the scene for approximately eight hours.

One firefighter received minor injuries and was treated at the hospital and released.

“I can’t say enough good things about all those people,” Lynch said. “We’re very appreciative of their efforts to help.”

Despite the best efforts of the firefighters, the single-story 3,332-squarefoot house, built in 1980, was a total loss.

The Lynches were able to find some photographs.

“We salvaged some pictures that go back generations,” he said. “They were stored in a closet and there was no fire damage to that closet.”

The cause of the fire was listed as undetermined, but a faulty light receptacle over the washer and dryer in the utility room might have been its origin. From there, the fire spread to the attic, which was full of furniture and other items that burned easily.

For the time being, the Lynches are staying with their son in Whaleyville. He said they are not in need of donations.

Lynch said if he had to choose between having his house back or his dog, he would pick Chynna Mei. “I would rather have my dog,” he said.

New efforts in motion to protect little-known deep sea coral East Coast agencies sign landmark memo to guard fragile marine structures CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) Scientists know little about deep sea coral, but bodies governing fisheries on the East Coast are taking steps to protect it while they uncover its ecological roles and fisheries’ impacts on the coral ecosystems.

The chairmen of the South Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic and New England Fishery Management Councils signed a memorandum of understanding last month in a landmark effort to protect deep sea coral.

“A lot of times a government agency takes action after damage has already occurred,” said Mary Clark, communication program coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic council. “It’s a real sign of progress.”

New research and funding have increased knowledge about deep sea coral at the same time the council has bolstered its emphasis on habitat protection, Assistant Fishery Plan Coordinator for the council Kiley Dancy said.

Resort coast home to important seabed habitats for juvenile fish Taking steps to protect deep sea coral, which has been found in significant numbers off the coast of Ocean City, “fits in with our overarching goal of developing an ecosystems approach of fisheries management,” Clark said.

The coral live on the seabed, often more than 150 feet below the water’s surface on the continental shelf and its slopes, lining offshore canyons and near submarine mountains. Like its brighter-colored relatives in the shallows, deep sea coral forms three-dimensional structures that house fish and other species.

“Fishing is hugely important in Ocean City and deep sea corals provide critical habitat for a lot of important marine fisheries, especially the larval and juvenile fish,” Clark said.

Scientists don’t know how far offshore the corals grow, but have found them more than 3,000 feet deep, Dancy said. They also don’t know how many species of deep sea coral exist.

The coral is fragile, slow growing and found off the East Coast from Florida to Maine.

“For a long time, they (scientists) only believed deep sea coral to be in the South Atlantic, and just in the last four Continued from Page 8A

years or so… have discovered that there’s a lot more deep sea coral than was previously thought,” Dancy said.

The deep-water ecosystems are hard to study because of the time, money and equipment needed to tackle research at such great depths, she said.

Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in partnership with academic researchers, use ROVs to collect the data used by the fishery management councils.

They are studying what species of fish use the coral for habitat at what stages of their lives, among other topics, Dancy said.

Many New England and Mid-Atlantic fisheries overlap geographically and in the type of fishing gear used, so “you really have to have solid collaboration among fisheries involved,” Dancy said.

Other factors that might damage deep sea coral include climate change and pollution, though fishing gear has a much more tangible connection to the coral, Clark said.

The councils have not taken action yet, but are considering designating coral protection zones; defining deep sea coral as part of NOAA’s Essential Fish Habitat or Habitat Areas of Particular Concern; creating special-access programs to allow fishing in coral-rich areas only for specific fisheries or gear types; and managing deep sea coral as a habitat according to a Fishery Management Plan, Clark said.

With added projects, like meeting with fishermen, and data analysis, the council hopes to have an amendment to consider management of deep sea coral slated for 2014, she said.

“There are many questions still,” Dancy said. “We’re beginning to have the answers to some of those questions, but the picture is still blurry.”

City unclear how $6K parking fee was missed Town never collected ‘12 and ‘13 rent for Greene Turtle’s Jamestown Rd. lot ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) The establishment of a new commercial parking arrangement on 66th Street seems to have thrown light on the city’s failure to collect two years’ worth of payments on a similar agreement on Jamestown Road.

Councilwoman Margaret Pillas said at Monday night’s council meeting that she had been made aware that a tenant of city property at 103 Jamestown Road was behind on rent. “This is a delinquent account,� Pillas said. “I was just questioning what the process is after staff is unable to get this property to pay off its account.�

Although Pillas’ query was directed at City Solicitor Guy Ayres, City Manager David Recor quickly said that he “will respond because the account is not delinquent.�

The bill, Recor later said, had been paid earlier that day.

Although not mentioned by Pillas or any other council member by name,

the lot at 103 Jamestown Road is leased from the city by the Greene Turtle. The lot is partially used by the town for a utility station, but the open area to the west of the pump house is rented by the restaurant for parking.

The terms of the five-year lease, written in 2012, stipulate that a $3,000 payment is to be made on July 1 of every year.

As of Monday morning, the payments for 2012 and 2013 had not been made.

But Greene Turtle owner Steve Pappas said Tuesday that he was only made aware of the situation 24 hours beforehand that he had neglected the payments. “We didn’t even know it wasn’t paid,� Pappas said. “Somebody from City Hall called my office yesterday morning and we wrote them a check for $6,000 right away.�

According to Recor, the city did send notices to the Greene Turtle, but had not pursued any formal action.

At the same time it put to rest the parking lease with Galaxy 66, the city sought to settle its similar relationship with the Greene Turtle, Recor said.

Two weeks ago, the town finalized an agreement with the Galaxy 66 to allow the venue to rent 50 parking spaces, at an annual cost of $20,000, at the northeast corner of the Public

Lar La arg rge ges est st Gif Gift ft Sh Sho hop op In Occe cea ean an Ci Citity ty

Safety Building lot.

This allows the restaurant to fulfill the parking space minimum needed to construct additional dining enclosures on its rooftop Skye Bar. The agreement was part of a long back-and-forth between the city, the restaurant, and the county’s Board of License Commissioners, which mandated the sound-proof enclosure to reduce noise complaints.

There has always been some tension between resort business owners over the ability of some to rely on public parking to satisfy their patrons’ demand without directly compensating the city, while others are not. “When you look at all the other places around town that rely on municipal parking but don’t pay for it ‌ parking is definitely an issue in Ocean City,â€? Pappas said.

Galaxy 66 patrons have often used the municipal lot at the Public Safety building for overflow parking, but it was only after the restaurant became cornered between the city’s zoning code and the county liquor board that it was required to pay for the privilege.

Although the Greene Turtle’s lot is smaller and lower in rent, Pappas said the real cost has been the roughly $40,000 he has spent bringing the previously derelict area up to the city’s See TURTLE on Page 12A

“The rent isn’t trivial, but when you look at how much I paid to landscape the thing, that’s where the real cost was,” he said.

Unlike the Galaxy 66 – where the Skye Bar’s business license is conditional on the maintenance of the lease – the Greene Turtle is not required by code to have the 13 spaces in the Jamestown Road lot.

“They do not need that area as required parking,” said city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith. “It has no effect on their business in terms of the zoning code.”

acquiring the lot, Pappas said, was to provide a space for delivery trucks to park – instead of simply stopping in the westbound lane of Jamestown Road, to the south of the Greene Turtle, and creating a traffic hazard.

Cars turning onto the street from Coastal Highway were forced to go into the left lane without being able to see eastbound traffic past the trucks, Pappas said.

“It would bottleneck that intersection,” he said. “It’s actually turned out to be a great thing for both [the city and the Greene Turtle.] The trucks pull into that little area and whatever it is they cart it across Jamestown road and into our coolers in back.”

City looks to bolster ban on beach booze through campaign Drinking in sand part of resort’s image problem, Councilman Ashley says ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) As somewhat of a corollary to this week’s heated debate over crime and what to do about it, the city will be ramping up its efforts to let visitors know that they can’t bring booze on the beach.

Actually stopping them from doing so, however, would appear to be a different matter.

Councilman Brent Ashley suggested that the town make a concerted effort to publicize the fact that alcohol is not allowed on public beaches — a policy Ashley said is meeting particular difficulty this year and is evidence, in his opinion, of the declining standard of behavior in the resort.

“From a public safety perspective, and in order to maintain a familyfriendly atmosphere and return more decency to our beach,” Ashley said, “I would suggest we begin a public awareness campaign to inform all visitors that we have a zero tolerance policy towards alcohol or public intoxication on the beach.”

Signs indicating the ban on alcohol in the sand are found on the backs of the Ocean City Beach Patrol’s guard stands, as well as on the city ordinance notices that are placed intermittently on the Boardwalk. Ashley suggested that an active campaign through other media, however, could help take care of the issue before visitors even get to the beach.

He also suggested that city businesses that sell alcohol be offered signs to post in their establishments, reminding visitors about the alcohol policy.

Ashley relayed a recent incident in which he saw several men packing a cooler with beer in a local supermarket parking lot. In conversation with them, they revealed that they were going to the beach in Ocean City.

When Ashley asked if they were aware that drinking on the beach was prohibited, they responded that they had seen the signs the first day they went to the beach, but simply hid the bottles in the sand and planned to continue to do so.

“I think we need to step up our efforts,” Ashley said. “The beach patrol shouldn’t have to be out there watching for people with alcohol, they should be watching people in the water.”

Beach drinking is not a new or sudden problem, said OCBP Captain Butch Arbin.

“For all 41 years I’ve been here, drinking’s been banned on the beach, and for all 41 years it’s been an issue,” Arbin said. “It’s been one of the biggest games adults like to play, which is ‘hide the alcohol from the 18-year-old lifeguard.’”

Arbin recently spoke with the Ocean City Police Department about increasing patrols at the inlet beach, where alcohol enforcement seems to be more of an issue.

Md. Coastal Bays Program to trim research after sequestration

CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Aug 9, 2013) The Maryland Coastal Bays Program will lose $88,000 from its annual budget following sequestration cuts set in motion by Congress earlier this year.

The change will go into effect Oct. 1, the beginning the fiscal year for the program, and means trimming some programs in the Southern Bays, Coastal Bays Executive Director Dave Wilson said.

“When the federal government

loses 9 percent of its budget, it hurts everybody,” he said.

The affected funding comes from a Clean Water Act grant funneled through the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA was hit with a 5 percent budget cut following sequestration, which it passed on as a 15 percent cut to its 28 estuary program grantees nationwide, he said.

The grant, normally around $600,000, will total $515,000 in the next fiscal year, but the cuts run deeper, Wilson said.

“We leverage 36-to-one for every federal dollar that comes in to the coastal bays,” he said. “When you multiply that effect, you take $88,000 that we lost times 36, and you get $3.2 million.”

Wilson explained that the Costal

data “we don’t really know what trajectory that grass is on,” he said. “It’s really, really tough to lose a whole year of data.”

Similar cutbacks are expected in the brown tide monitoring program the Coastal Bays Program has funded through the Department of Natural Resources. With a small staff of nine, Coastal Bays partners with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and University of Maryland to conduct research and collect data.

“We normally give out $100,000 to our partners… to do research in the coastal bays. And that is research that we desperately need to figure out nutrient sources” and other information, Wilson said.

In the upcoming fiscal year, “we See FOUNDATION on Page 16A

“In most cases, they don’t cause a problem to us,” Arbin said of beach drinkers. “But if you don’t enforce it, you get larger and larger groups of people doing it and its starts to get out of control.”

Although the OCBP does not track it specifically, alcohol is definitely a factor in guards’ rescue workload.

“We know that many of the more serious things that happen, especially at night when we’re not on duty, are almost always alcohol-related,” Arbin said. “Some of the more serious neck and head injuries we’ve had are people running and diving into two inches of water – you just don’t have the same inhibitions when you’ve been drinking.”

Although not overly enthusiastic, Ashley’s colleagues seemed to agree that such a campaign couldn’t hurt. Mayor Rick Meehan compared the idea to the Walk Smart campaign, coordinated between the city and the State Highway Administration, to encourage traffic safety awareness and the use of crosswalks on Coastal Highway.

That campaign also features a heavy outside media presence, as well as promotional items given to local bars to remind patrons about the danger of mixing alcohol and jaywalking.

“I think the SHA faced a similar issue there, too,” Meehan said. “We didn’t’ stop everybody from crossing midblock, but we stopped a lot of them.”

“It’s not just on the beach,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas. “People are drinking on the sidewalks and the streets, too.”

Council voted unanimously, with Council Secretary Mary Knight absent, to go ahead with developing a campaign.

Bays program, on average, has been able to multiply its federal dollars about 18 times through leveraging, but that number increased last year when Berlin upgraded its sewage treatment plant.

With the cuts, Coastal Bays expects to trim monitoring of underwater grasses and toxic brown tides.

The submerged aquatic vegetation, or SAV, beds in the bays have been monitored since the 1980s, Wilson said. The grasses — eelgrass and widgeon grass — provide “enormous benefits for water quality,” absorb excess nutrients, and house crabs, small fish and other marine life, he said.

“Almost every species (in the area) uses eelgrass or widgeon grass… at some point in its life,” Wilson said.

Maryland Tax-Free Week begins Sunday, runs through Aug. 17 No sales tax for qualifying clothing and footwear purchases of $100 or less

(Aug. 9, 2013) Just in time for back-toschool shopping, Comptroller Peter Franchot recently announced that his office is gearing up for Shop Maryland, the state’s tax-free week.

Businesses selling items that are not eligible for inclusion in the tax-free week can still participate in Shop Maryland.

Under “Sellers Privilege,” other unqualified merchandise can be sold tax-free but the retailer is responsible for paying the sales tax owed to the state.

“During the back-to-school shopping season, tax-free week provides Maryland consumers with both an opportunity to shop at their local stores and to save 6 percent on clothing and shoes under $100 per item,” said Patrick Donoho, president of the Maryland Retailers Association.

STEM students recognized for achievements in new program Classes include rocketry, computer programming, robotics and electronics NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

Berlin student Jamie Welch receives his certificate for his participation in the STEP UP STEM internship program. Economic Development Director Bill Badger is on the right.

(Aug. 9, 2013) While many local students spent the past couple of weeks working on the Boardwalk or having fun on the beach, some were learning about rocketry, computer science, medicine and the environment.

In years past, some Worcester students could attend the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Enrichment Program at Wallops Island, but federal funds for that program were cut. County officials did not want the program to end.

“The county commissioners felt very strongly about the program,” Economic Development Director Bill Badger said during last Thursday’s recognition ceremony for the students at The Red Doors Community Center at St. Paul’s by the Sea Episcopal Church on Third Street, site of the Reach for the Stars STEM program. “They directed my department to come up with a program.”

Actually, two programs were devised for Worcester students. The Reach for the Stars STEM Camp was for students entering grades six through nine and the STEP UP STEM Internship Program was for students in senior high school.

“This camp was a blast,” said Ian Dingwall. “I learned a lot. I know of so many careers I can pursue right here in Worcester County.”

Dingwall and the other 19 students started by studying digital electronics and working on microcontrollers and robotics. They learned how to put robots together and program them to carry out certain actions. They also learned how to create apps for cell phones and tablets.

During the camp’s second week, the students studied rocketry and took a field trip to the NASA Wallops Flight Facility, where they launched the rockets they had built. Each rocket had a successful launch.

“I was really intrigued by the computer programming aspect of the course and the command center at NASA,” Bethany Todd said. “I am going to need to take programming courses and now I am interested in learning about rocket science and astronomy. I am also fasci-

(Aug. 9, 2013) Worcester County Commissioner Louise Gulyas underwent surgery at Shock Trauma on Tuesday morning.

Gulyas had been doing well after falling in her Ocean City condo July 26.

She had fallen in her dining area at about 3 p.m. and, unable to get up, remained on the floor until her son, Thom, found her the next morning at about 9:30 a.m.

She was taken first to Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin and then transferred to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.

With high spirits, Gulyas celebrated her 79th birthday at that hospital on July 29.

Doctors determined she would not need surgery because, Thom Gulyas reported, her spinal vertebrae C2 had cracked in a straight line and her spinal column remained in a straight line.

On July 30, she was moved to a rehabilitation facility in Salisbury and was expected to wear a neck brace for about

three months. She thought she would miss just a couple of commissioners’ meetings.

While at the rehabilitation facility, Gulyas took a turn for the worse when the crack in her vertebrae widened, causing her considerable pain.

She was flown by helicopter to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma on Friday, Aug. 2. On Tuesday, she had surgery to have four pins and two rods inserted to help stabilize her neck. In his online message to friends and colleagues, Thom Gulyas wrote that this “is the result when you hear the term ‘neck fusion.’“ The only drawback to the surgery, he wrote, is that his mother could have “somewhat limited mobility of her head, which may or may not happen.”

Thom Gulyas also wrote that the surgery “will immediately stabilitize her head/neck area and allow her to continue a fulfilling and meaningful life.

UMST (University of Maryland Shock Trauma) performs these types of surgeries every day.”

Depending on how well Louise Gulyas fares after the surgery, she could remain in the hospital an additional three to five days and then have physical therapy.

“Amazingly her spirits are quite high,” Thom Gulyas wrote. “She sends her love to each and every one of you reading this.”

Interns worked in web design, security and physical therapy nated by biotechnology, so I need to take biology and medical classes and go to lots of college either way. I want to make a difference in the modern world and I think a STEM career in the way to go.”

The students also visited some Worcester County businesses where the older students were working in the STEP Up program. One of those visits was to the TR Group, an IT consulting firm whose work includes security audits.

“It refined my ability to interact with others in a business environment,” said Jamie Welch, who was an intern there.

“I learned how to spot security holes and fix them.”

Welch was offered a job at the TR Group for the remainder of the summer and a part-time job after he returns to high school.

Valerie Petsche, a Stephen Decatur student, worked for the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, where she banded royal terns on Skimmer Island, replaced dead trees near the Ocean City Municipal Airport, helped create a living seawall and worked at the community Continued from Page 19A

Libby Withers, a Stephen Decatur graduate, spent her internship with OceanCity.com.

“I had to learn what it is to be a tourist,” said Withers, who interviewed tourists, attended special events and produced a video on how to pick hard crabs.

Hunter Johnson, a Pocomoke High School student, and Paige Stanley, a Snow Hill High School student, worked at Bel-Art, a Pocomoke company that makes science ware and able ware, products to make life easier for the disabled and elderly. Their work included scraping paint, spackling walls and replacing ceiling tile in a sterile room. Both were offered part-time jobs.

Other students spent their internships at D3 Corp, Atlantic General Hospital, Habitat for Humanity and Martin Physical Therapy.

The interns talked about their experiences during the recognition ceremony.

“I found the presentations to be absolutely amazing,” said Dr. Jerry Wilson, superintendent of Worcester County’s public schools.

New Assateague Island National Seashore superintendent named (Aug. 9, 2013) Deborah â&#x20AC;&#x153;Debbieâ&#x20AC;?

Darden has been selected as the new superintendent of Assateague Island National Seashore. Darden has served as the deputy superintendent at New River Gorge National River and the associated Gauley River National Recreation Area and Bluestone National Scenic River since November 2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cornerstones of Debbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career are her ability to facilitate complex planning issues, foster productive teams and cultivate successful partnerships,â&#x20AC;? said National Park Service Northeast Regional Director Dennis R. Reidenbach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These skills will serve the Assateague staff, community and visitors well.â&#x20AC;?

While at New River Gorge, Darden developed highly functional partnerships with six gateway communities, multiple user groups, three counties, and the Boy Scouts of America â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who will now contribute tens of thousands of volunteer hours to the park annually through their new neighboring campus.

Darden also strategically addressed the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backlog of Line Item Construction projects; including some 57 add-ons totaling $16.5 million. She strengthened resource management

and planning programs at the park, which led to the successful development of a new General Management Plan. She managed several complex environmental assessments as part of the implementation phase of this planning effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so honored to be selected as the superintendent of Assateague Island National Seashore. I grew up near Padre Island National Seashore, and I love barrier islands and their resources,â&#x20AC;? said Darden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with partners and staff to protect and provide for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreation and learning about this extraordinary place.â&#x20AC;?

Prior to New River Gorge, Darden served as the chief of resource management and planning at Gettysburg National Military Park, where she also coordinated a landmark partnership effort and managed the development of a significant GMP. She has also held positions at the NPS Northeast Regional Office and the private firm of Black Atkinson Vernooy of Austin, Tex. Darden is a native of Texas and holds a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree in American Studies and a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin.

POLICE BRIEFS

Machete in car Ocean City police recovered a machete and an aluminum bat from the trunk of a vehicle Aug. 3.

Police had gone to the area of Talbot Street and Philadelphia Avenue at about 4:20 p.m. because of a report of a man with an open container of alcohol. The police officer saw Michael Bradley Taylor, 24, of Keymar, sitting on the hood of a vehicle with an open can of beer next to him.

The police officer smelled the odor of marijuana and asked about it. Tay-

lor reportedly said marijuana was in a red box beneath the driver’s seat.

The officer found the box with marijuana. The box also contained a pipe and a grinder.

Taylor then said a jar of marijuana and a machete were in the vehicle’s trunk.

The officer then recovered a black fighting-style machete in a sheath and an aluminum bat. Taylor reportedly said he had both items for protection.

A jar of marijuana was also found in a backpack in the trunk.

Taylor was charged with possession

of a concealed dangerous weapon, possession of a fighting knife, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and possession of an open container of alcohol.

Driving on sidewalk A 22-year-old Lewes, Del., woman was arrested Aug. 2 after allegedly driving her car on the sidewalk while under the influence of alcohol.

According to the charging document, Nicole Ashley Boyer was following a man who was walking on the

P • B M I O R H S ALL YOU Restaurant & Seafood MAarTket g n i 2 t 4 Years a r b e l e CAN EAT C

sidewalk. He had been a passenger in her car, but got out and started walking.

She allegedly threw a backpack at a police officer. When the officer tried to arrest her, she allegedly resisted arrest and grabbed the officer’s radio. She also allegedly grabbed his finger and tried to bend it backward.

Because of her unruly behavior, police put her in a violent prisoner restraining device.

She then allegedly pulled the finger of another officer and tried to bend it backward.

POLICE BRIEFS At police headquarters, she was given a breath/alcohol test and had a reading of .15, according to police.

Boyer was charged with reckless driving, negligent driving, driving while impaired by alcohol, driving while under the influence of alcohol and four counts of second-degree assault.

Alleged assault A 23-year-old Tamaqua, Pa., woman was charged Aug. 5 with second-degree assault after allegedly striking a man in a downtown motel room.

According to Ocean City police, the man had a small swelling beneath his eye and his shirt was torn.

He said the woman, Alysa Cristina Frey, was mad because they had become separated on the Boardwalk after drinking at a bar.

Police charged Frey with seconddegree assault.

Marijuana Deanglo Townsend, 23 and Byron Tunnell, 24, both of Berlin, were arrested Aug. 2 on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana and trespassing.

Berlin police were conducting foot

Alleged burglary Jason Lee Payne, 21, of Eden, was arrested on charges of first-degree burglary, three counts of second-degree assault and a concealed weapons charge after officers of the Berlin Police Department went to a Bay Street residence for a report of a burglary in progress.

When officers arrived, they observed Payne standing outside of one of the units.

When Payne saw the police officers, he allegedly forced his way into the unit and assaulted three occupants.

Police used a Taser on Payne and took him into custody. Officers found a knife on Payne.

Payne was also found to have a multiple felony count warrant in Princess Anne for an incident that occurred earlier in the week.

A vehicle that Payne had reportedly stolen was recovered at 509 Bay St. Payne was taken before a commissioner and held without bond on both cases.

Boat capsizes, two men die Fishing vessels assist U.S. Coast Guard in rescuing two of four on catamaran ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) The timing of the city’s annual White Marlin Open – the world’s largest billfish tournament – appears to have been a major boon in rescuing two boaters from their capsized vessel, although two others perished in the incident, according to the Coast Guard.

Around 9 a.m. Monday, the crew of the vessel “Lori M.” reported to the Coast Guard that a 28-foot catamaran had capsized approximately 32 miles offshore to the northeast of Ocean City.

Another vessel, the “Just Right Five,” also arrived on the scene and took aboard two survivors from the catamaran. Their names have not been released, but the Coast Guard identified them both as 55-year-old males.

According to the White Marlin Open’s online roster, vessels named “Lori M.” and “Just Right Five” are participating in the tournament.

Shortly thereafter, according to the

Copper wire thefts throughout area blamed on heroin addiction Ocean Pines man receives fines, jail time in several jurisdictions for scheme NANCY POWELL Staff Writer

. -AIN 3T p "ERLIN -$

(Aug. 9, 2013) A 29-year-old man was sentenced last week to eight years in prison, with all but one year and one day suspended, for stealing copper wire from Delmarva Power numerous times to subsidize his heroin addiction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you had taken the effort you put forth in breaking into these [electrical substation] yards into rehabilitation, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be better off,â&#x20AC;? Judge Thomas C. Groton III told Timothy Hughes of Ocean Pines in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on Aug. 1.

Hughes had pleaded guilty to participating in a scheme to steal items with a value of a least $10,000, but less than $100,000.

In exchange for that guilty plea, many charges against him were not prosecuted.

Last November, numerous law enforcement agencies, including the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation, learned of several thefts at Delmarva Power substations in the area.

According to Deputy Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney

Abigail Marsh, Hughes stole wire 11 times at substations in Ocean City, Berlin and Bishopville. The loss to Delmarva Power, including the wire and the cost to repair damaged fences, was $29,820.57.

Hughes has prior convictions and some of those are related to thefts of copper wire in other areas. He is currently serving a sentence, handed down in March, for malicious destruction of property. He was also convicted in April of possession of a controlled dangerous substance.

Hughes was also convicted in Delaware of two counts of theft of less than $1,500 and sentenced to 30 days in jail. His record also includes a conviction in Wicomico County in March for malicious destruction of property valued at more than $500. For that offense, he was sentenced to two years in jail, with all but 20 months suspended.

Marsh told the court that Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; criminal record was moderate and she recommended a sentence of eight years in prison, with all but four years suspended and restitution of $10,000 to Delmarva Power.

Even though the stolen wire and cost to repair fences was valued at more than $10,000, Delmarva Power had agreed to accept that amount, Marsh said, partly because its employees would repair the See HUGHES on Page 29A

Case stalled in OC bar death

Hughes will serve year in prison for Worcester thefts

Jury deadlocked, fails to reach unanimous verdict; Oglesby wants new trial

Continued from Page 28A

NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) Jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict Wednesday night after the daylong trial of a man charged in connection with the January death of Mike Post in downtown Ocean City.

State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby said Thursday that he intends to take the case of George Daron Nottingham to trial again.

Nottingham testified that he had joined Post at the Harbor Inn on Jan. 26 to celebrate Post’s 40th birthday the next day.

“He was my best friend,” Nottingham said. “I loved Mike. I still love Mike.”

Nottingham, 49, of West Ocean City, described the night as ordinary.

“We were glad to see each other,” he said. “It was a normal night out.”

Both men had been drinking before meeting at the Harbor Inn on Someset Street and they drank more there. Not-

fences. The $10,000 restitution would be paid jointly with a man accused of being Hughes’ accomplice in the copper wire thefts, if he is found guilty. That man intends to stand trial on his charges. If he is found not guilty, Hughes would have to make full restitution on his own.

A Wicomico County judge had already ordered Hughes to pay $3,200 and a Somerset County judge had ordered him to pay $6,600.

“It’s a tragedy any way you look at it,” Defense Attorney Cynthia MacDonald told the court.

Hughes had been married and has a 5year-old daughter, she said.

His troubles began when he was taking opiate pills. He started taking heroin and then lost his job and his marriage.

“There is an epidemic of people starting out on pills and switching to heroin,” MacDonald said.

Judge Groton then sentenced Hughes to eight years in prison, but suspended all but one year and one day of that sentence.

That sentence is consecutive to any other sentences that Hughes is serving or will be serving.

After his release from jail, Hughes will be on supervised probation for three years.

George Nottingham

Michael Post

tingham arrived at about midnight and Post arrived at about 1 a.m.

“We were all very highly intoxicated,” Nottingham said.

He noticed the back of his cell phone, which he had purchased just two weeks earlier, had fallen off and the battery fell to the ground. He started looking for it and tossed some bar stools out of his way.

He and Post started arguing about the cell phone and “we got in each other’s face,” Nottingham said.

Post shoved Nottingham back toward the bar and the two were cussing at each other, but Nottingham said

their behavior was not that unusual.

“That was our normal behavior. It was just horseplay,” he said. “It’s just the way we did.”

Bartender Herbert “Buddy” Groff said he had “had enough of that” and wanted them to separate and leave the bar at different times. He told Post, who he said he had started the physical altercation, to leave the Harbor Inn by the front door. He told a second man to leave by the back door and he told Nottingham to leave by either door after paying his bar tab.

Post left and walked down the See DEFENDANT on Page 30A

Defendant says death of friend after fistfight was unintentional street, but then he turned around and walked back to the bar, opened the door and flipped his finger, apparently at no one in particular.

By then, Nottingham had gotten his phone back and went outside to see if Post was OK. “I was just going out to try to make up,” Nottingham testified. “We’re friends.”

Groff was unconcerned.

“George didn’t seem to be frustrated after he got his phone back,” the bartender testified.

Groff added that he “was so comfortable with George’s demeanor” that he did not go outside to see if Post was still outside.

When Nottingham walked out, Post was near the door.

Continued from Page 29A

“He was raising his arm up,” said Nottingham, who responded by slapping or punching Post’s mouth.

Nottingham testified that he had struck Post because he “thought he was going to hit me.”

At 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 364 pounds, Post was considerably larger than Nottingham, who is 2 inches shorter and nearly 140 pounds lighter.

“I heard the thud [when Post fell to the ground],” he said.

He returned inside to tell Groff that Post was hurt and then he went back outside, where he tried to render some first aid.

“He was gasping for air,” Nottingham said. “I rubbed on his sternum to try to get some stimulation. As soon as I heard the thud, I knew . . . I knew he

was hurt.”

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

Dr. Donna Vincenti of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore testified that Post died of extensive skull and brain injuries. The manner of death, she said, was homicide. She came to that conclusion because she had viewed surveillance videos showing that Post had fallen “because he was struck in the face and possibly pushed,” she said.

Other witnesses included Post’s mother, who said her son did odd jobs like painting and laying tile. He had spent that day at her house.

The jury also watched the videos, which were pieced together from several of the 16 digital video recorders in-

side and outside the Harbor Inn. Defense attorney Michael Farlow and State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby, assisted by Executive Assistant State’s Attorney William McDermott, asked the jurors to pay close attention to the video.

Farlow said Nottingham was protecting himself because “he had a reasonable belief that he was in imminent danger of bodily harm.”

Oglesby, however, described Nottingham as “a man running against the truth.”

Testimony concluded in the trial, held in Circuit Court in Snow Hill, at 5:30 p.m. Approximately three hours later, it was announced that the jury was deadlocked and could not reach a unanimous verdict. Judge Thomas C. Groton declared a mistrial.

Christie McDowell plans how-to guide for local businesses NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) The woman who farms with a purpose, runs a farmers market and works as a nurse has a new endeavor.

Christie McDowell is working on a publication â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a guide â&#x20AC;&#x153;for people who want to take their food hobby to a business level.â&#x20AC;?

The guide will explain in laymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terms the Maryland regulations regarding food. Some food C. McDowell in this state is regulated by the Maryland Department of Agriculture, some is regulated by the Maryland Health Department and some is regulated by the Cottage Food Industry laws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to cover as many food products as possible,â&#x20AC;? McDowell said at The Good Farm, the small, organic community farm she runs with Ric Gresia at Marinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Down near Berlin. She also works as a nurse at Dorchester General Hospital and runs the Ocean Pines Farmers Market. But she wants to take on the additional work of helping people get started in the food business.

Her guide will also include information on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;easiest food industries to start,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to see more small artisantype foods produced and be available locally,â&#x20AC;? she said.

To help make that a reality, she wants to find unused commercial kitchens for use by people interested in starting small food businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This area has so many commercial kitchens not used year round,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to find which restaurants would be willing to lease kitchens for someone to start a business.â&#x20AC;?

Churches with commercial kitchens are also a possibility, she said. And schools have large kitchens that are not used year round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like the Lower Eastern Shore to be a hub for entrepreneurial food startups,â&#x20AC;? she said.

As an example, McDowell mentioned Liz Davis of Berlin, who makes a glutenfree baking and bread mix sold in a number of local businesses. She hopes to expand the relatively new venture.

McDowell also mentions Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heirloom Juices of Princess Anne. This small company makes tomato nectar using the strained, pale yellow juice of several varieties of pureed heirloom tomatoes grown locally. After adding just a bit of salt, the nectar becomes an intensely flavored base for summer entrees, fish, salads, cocktails and soups. It is a unique product in the food industry.

The company also makes an heirloom â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bloody Deliciousâ&#x20AC;? Mary Mix and a nosalt-added tomato juice. The products are sold wholesale, in select retail establishments and online at Amazon.

City to dock HVAC contractor after neglect of maintenance Town thinks chiller repair could’ve been avoided if work had been completed ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) For the second time in recent memory, the city has been forced to do some extra work after one of its major service providers gave the resort the brush-off in anticipation of dropping a contract.

This week, the city approved a $16,950 expenditure to repair the chiller system at the convention center, and will be deducting the cost from its final payment to its previous HVAC maintenance contractor, who was allegedly unable to show the proper documentation that it had done required maintenance on the convention center’s cooling system.

The city issues a single contract for routine maintenance of the heating and air conditioning systems in all city-owned buildings, city Public Works Director Hal Adkins said. Johnson Controls held that contract for many years, but the company did not bid on the its renewal this year, and in July the contract was turned over

to Electrical Automation Systems, Inc. Before the contract ended, however, Johnson Controls was allegedly not performing the obligatory maintenance, causing additional wear to the convention center chiller and other apparatus.

“It is the opinion of the company that is about to do the repairs that, had the routine maintenance been completed, some of the repairs and/or replacements that are now necessary could’ve been avoided,” Adkins said.

“Johnson Controls was unable to provide documentation that they had done maintenance as required by contract on the convention center chillers,” Adkins said. “We are currently withholding roughly $58,000 of their annual contract price for items that they are unable to substantiate that they did the maintenance on.”

Adkins said the city had no reason to believe, before July, that Johnson Controls was going to decline to rebid the longstanding contract or was neglecting to complete work in anticipation of doing so.

“When we had the pre-bid meeting, they had representation in the room,” Adkins said. “We had no reason to believe they weren’t interested.”

City unsure of liability following crash involving OCPD Tahoe Sedan driver, operator of scooter still alive after pair of brutal collisions last week ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) Two victims of last week’s pair of major collisions on Coastal Highway are seriously injured, but still alive, police said this week.

On July 31, a scooter rider heading south on Coastal Highway between 83rd and 84th streets swerved into another lane of traffic and under the rear wheels of a passing box truck. Police believe the rider, who was traveling in the bus lane, was attempting to go around a bicyclist and went too far to the left, entering the

right lane of traffic.

The scooter operator was believed to be intoxicated, according to police. His scooter was privately owned and not a rental. The driver of the box truck is not believed to be at fault.

The scene of the accident was particularly grisly, with a pile of bloody clothing being left behind after paramedics removed the operator of the scooter from the road.

“It’s pretty remarkable that he’s pulled through. That’s what we’re being told,” Ocean City Police Department Public Information Officer Mike Levy said this week.

Another crash the day before, on Tuesday, July 30, involved one of the OCPD’s Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicles.

That collision occurred at the intersection of 28th Street and Coastal High-

way. An OCPD Tahoe, heading north to respond to another incident, went through the red light and struck the driver’s side of a Lexus sedan that was traveling east-to-west on 28th Street, apparently unaware of the police vehicle’s approach.

The exact speed of the crash is yet unknown, but the impact pushed the sedan into the southbound lane of Coastal Highway and caved in most of the vehicle’s left side.

Off-duty EMS personnel from the Ocean City Fire Department were nearby and rendered immediate aid to the driver. Due to the damage to the vehicle, however, he could not be extracted until the OCFD’s Heavy Rescue unit was able to cut the roof off of the car.

The driver of the sedan was taken to University Shock Trauma in Baltimore

with a crushed pelvis.

Most recent word from the city indicates that both that victim and the scooter operator are still in critical condition.

According to city Communication Manager Jessica Waters, the city’s Risk Management division is investigating to determine whether or not the city will accept liability in the incident involving the Tahoe.

According to Levy, the driver of the sedan had the right-of-way. Whether or not the officer’s lights-and-siren response will prevent fault is unknown, he said.

Maryland law is fairly ambiguous on the matter, stating only that emergency vehicles going against traffic signals are expected to make a reasonable effort to watch for other vehicles.

Providers drop bids, cease work vere, experience last summer with its trash hauling. The town issues a contract to haul collected waste from its municipal depot to an incinerator plant in Pennsylvania, where it is burned to generate electricity.

The hauling contractor at the time, East Coast Resources, decided that it was no longer in their interest to pursue their

deal with the city and that they would not bid on the upcoming contract renewal. In anticipation, they began to scale down their collection efforts, creating a massive trash back up.

“They didn’t seem to understand that, even if they were going to drop the contract, they still had to come pick up all the trash until the contract ended,” Adkins said.

Known simply as â&#x20AC;&#x153;El Galeon,â&#x20AC;? the 170-foot long vessel replicates those that were sailed at the time and is essentially a floating museum. It will be in Ocean City Aug. 20 to Sept. 2.

Tall Ship event finalized for Aug. Town will split cost with promoter for capital work needed to berth vessel ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) The City Council gave formal approval this week to go ahead with plan to bring a 17th century sailing vessel to berth in downtown Ocean City at the end of the month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some changes in date, but as of now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back to the Aug. 20 to Sept.

2 timeframe,â&#x20AC;? city Special Events Director Frank Miller said.

The 170-foot-long vessel will be moored on along the bayside boardwalk, on Chicago Avenue from Third to Fourth streets. The northern, one-way portion of Chicago Avenue and the attached parking spaces will be closed and used for vendors, exhibits and staging tours of the ship itself.

The potential event was brought to the city by promoter Bryan Lilley, whose company B. Lilley Productions puts on the annual OC Air Show. Lilley is also active with the non-profit NASSF, which funds educational and historical events, including the tall ship event at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Viva Florida 500â&#x20AC;? celebration this year commemorating the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Florida by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon.

The featured ship at the Florida event

in May was from the Nao Victoria Foundation, a non-profit group based in Spain that primarily deals with historical events relating to the 16th century age of Spanish exploration. Known simply as â&#x20AC;&#x153;El Galeon,â&#x20AC;? the six-deck, 120-foot-high vessel replicates those that were sailed at the time and is essentially a floating museum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely be the first thing you notice coming over the Route 50 Bridge,â&#x20AC;?

Miller said.

Under the approved agreement with the NASSF, the city will be shouldering half of the $5,920 worth of work that will need to be done in the next two weeks to prepare the site. The town will be installing four tie-down cleats anchored by concrete mats beneath the bayside boardwalk to moor the ship.

The agreement also requires $1 million in insurance from the NASSF and frees the town from any liability or damages associated with brining the ship into town.

However, City Engineer Terry McGean said earlier that he is confident the vessel will fit through the drawbridge on Route 50 and has a shallow enough draft to navigate the bay channel.

The city had originally desired to berth the ship at Sunset Park by joining the municipal pier there with the adjacent pier at the Coast Guard station. However, federal red tape related to modifying Coast Guard property prevented the city from securing those designs in time for the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s availability this month.

OBITUARIES Arthur Thomas Monigle OCEAN CITY – Arthur Thomas Monigle, age 83, died Monday July 29, 2013 at his home in Ocean City. Born in Philadelphia, Pa., he was the son of the late Arthur Patrick Monigle and Charlotte Monigle Ralph. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Susan Withers Monigle, two beloved daughters, Susan Monigle Villanova and her husband Vic of New Orleans and Linda Monigle Guerrieri and her husband Michael of Ocean City.

Also surviving are three sisters, Clara May Monigle Truitt and her husband Alfred, Charlotte Ralph Weiland and Abigail Ralph Moore, one brother, George L. Ralph, Jr., three grandsons, Robert Hall Ballard III and Patrick Arthur Ballard of New Orleans, and Michael Shaw Guerrieri, Jr., of Ocean City, and numerous delightful nieces and nephews.

Mr. Monigle attended Archmere Academy in Claymont, Del. where he boarded from the seventh grade through graduation. At age 18, he enlisted in the Navy where he was assigned to the USS Leyte before entering and graduating from the University of Maryland, where he lettered in track.

His ardent support of his Alma Mater continued throughout his life as a member of the Terrapin Club, where he served on the board of directors, the “M” club, the Alumna Club and as a season ticket holder for football and basketball.

He was a proud and loyal member of his fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, and valued the bonds he made there.

In 1952, he married his wife, Susan, who also attended the University of Maryland, and they started their family.

He began his work career at the Shell Oil Company in Baltimore and then moved to Silver Spring to work for Esso Oil Company. His oil business expertise led him to Salisbury to enter the family oil business, George L. Ralph, Inc., where he became president and chairman of the Board.

He began his second career in 1985 in real estate as an associate broker for Moore, Warfield and Glick, now Coldwell Banker, in Ocean City. Before retiring, he was selected as “Distinguished Sales Associate of the Year” for the State of Maryland by the Maryland Association of Realtors.

Mr. Monigle’s great enthusiasm for life was contagious and fun for those with whom he shared it. People remembered him. He was the quintessential Irish Man, sweet talking and handsome.

He could charm the bird’s right out of the trees. He used this gift to benefit many organizations too numerous to mention here. One of his most exciting personal achievements was making a “hole-inone” at the Green Hill Yacht and Country Club near Salisbury. He had a tremendous love for the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Mr. Monigle was loved very much and will be sorely missed by his family and friends. There is no doubt that when we think back about Art Monigle, a smile will come to our faces.

Services were private for the family.

The family requests that memorial donations be made in his name to St. Paul’s by the Sea, 302 N. Baltimore Avenue, Ocean City, Md. 21842. Arrangements are in the care of the Burbage Funeral Home in Berlin. Expressions of condolence may be sent to the family at www.burbagefuneralhome.com.

William G. “Bill” Dillon OCEAN PINES – William G. “Bill” Dillon, age 93, of Ocean Pines and formerly of Rockville, died Friday, Aug. 2, 2013 at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin. He was born in New York City and was the son of the late William G. and Josephine (Casey) Dillon. He attended St. Bonaventure University in Olean, N.Y. graduating in 1948. His time in college was interrupted by service in the US Army where he served in North Africa, Italy, France and Germany during World War II. Mr. Dillon retired after more than 30 years of service with the federal government. The majority of his career was spent with the GSA Federal Protective Service, and he also did many years of criminal investigative work with the Army, the Air Force and the State De-

partment. He was a member of St. John Neumann Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, American Legion Post #166 in Ocean City, the Ocean Pines Power Squadron and the Ocean Pines Anglers Club. He was also a member and past president of the Ocean Pines Kiwanis Club.

He is survived by his wife, Margaret “Pat” Dillon of Ocean Pines; one daughter, Patricia M. Dillon (Sandy) of Beltsville, Md.; four sons, William G. Dillon Jr. (Ilene) and Gerard E. Dillon (Sherry) both of Mt. Airy, Md., Joseph V. Dillon (Barbara) of Frederick, Md. and Thomas M. Dillon (Katie) of Virginia Beach, Va.; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Mass of Christian Burial will be on Saturday, Aug. 10 at 11 a.m. at St. John Neumann Catholic Church on Beauchamp Road near Ocean Pines with Father Jim Downs officiating. Friends may call one hour before the mass. Burial will be on Monday, Aug. 12 at 11 a.m. at the Maryland Veterans Cemetery Eastern Shore, Hurlock, Md. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Joseph House, Little Sisters of Jesus and Mary, P.O. Box 1755, Salisbury, Md. 21802 or Most Blessed Sacrament School, 11242 Racetrack Road, Berlin, Md. 21811. Condolences may be sent to www.hastingsfuneralhome.net.

Now in their second year of program sponsorship, the university provided $187,000 in program funding to the NPF to help high school teachers and their students build a deeper connection and sense of stewardship for their national parks through curriculum and service learning projects.

With this grant, Assateague Island National Seashore is partnering with Worcester Technical High School to provide students with a hands-on opportunity to learn how to develop multimedia tools and materials.

This spring, students will work on the development of several QR code multimedia presentations for the “Life of the Forest” trail. Students will craft short, thematic presentations along the trail, create QR codes, print the codes on durable materials and affix them to existing trail signs.

Since 2009, the Park Stewards program has made it possible for 88 high school teachers to work in parks over the summer break, creating curriculum that will then be taught to their students in the coming school year. During the summer, the teachers and park staff also develop service-learning projects that will be implemented by high school students throughout the course of the school year.

The projects range from monitoring toxic mercury levels or water quality to repairing historic forts to creating digital park stories, and all tie to state academic standards. The 2013 Park Stewards program will also select one student from each grantee school team for a summer internship to help support and build their interest in their national parks and the National Park Service.

This year’s teacher steward is Clay Reister, who teaches Interactive Media Production at Worcester Tech. Reister is providing oversight and coaching to six of the schools’ IMP students as they collect and compose the content for the media products described above.

When asked about the opportunity, Reister highlighted two main aspects of the program: student engagement to realworld demands and the value of experience building. Additionally, he spoke about the potential for the project and the relationship with the National Seashore to extend beyond the current program.

“This NPS project allows the students to get out of the classroom and garner first-hand experience to understand from start-to-finish how their work further educates the community on the work and preservation of the Assateague Island National Seashore,” Reister said.

Jones in first place with 83-pound white marlin ‘I’ve been waiting for this all my life,’ angler says after fish lands in top spot LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Aug. 9, 2013) After three days of weigh-ins, at the close of the Harbour Island Marina scale Wednesday night, an 83-pound white marlin held the top spot in the coveted division during the 40th annual White Marlin Open.

Just before 8p.m. the OdinSpear arrived at the 14th Street scale with Tommy Jones’ white marlin on board. As the numbers on the scale rose, the cheers from the crowd grew louder. The scale stopped at 83 pounds and the fish took over first place.

“I knew it was a good fish and I was very excited about the opportunity to get it to the boat…when we finally landed him, I was very, very excited because I knew we had a good fish,” Jones said.

Based on the crew’s estimations, they thought the marlin would be in the high 70-pound range. Needless to say, they were beyond thrilled it weighed in at 83 pounds.

“The fish was pretty big in it’s girth…fortunately we had a fat fish so it worked out great in our favor,” he said.

Jones fought the marlin for about 40 minutes.

“The fish fought hard and I knew it was a big fish,” he said. “He took a couple runs, but fortunately we were finally able to get him on the boat.”

Jones has been fishing in the White Marlin Open for more than 20 years. He won third place in 2010 for an 80.5-pound white marlin.

“It doesn’t get better than this,” he said at Wednesday’s close.

If the fish remains in the No. 1 spot, it could be worth approximately $980,000.

“I’ve been waiting for this all my life,” he said.

Before the marlin was weighed, three 77-pound whites were tied for first place.

Jeremy Duffie landed the first 77pound marlin on Tuesday aboard Billfisher. The other two were boated Wednesday by Debbie McCann (Sea Mistress) and Larry McKinley (Sea Toy).

According to tiebreaker rules, an-

glers who do not use a gaff (a pole with a sharp hook on the end that is used to stab a large fish and then lift it into the boat) is declared the winner. A gaff was not used to get McCann’s and McKinley’s marlin onto their respective boats. It was used to on Duffie’s fish.

Tournament co-Director Jim Motsko said the rule was implemented years ago when there was a rumor that anglers were gaffing fish, bringing them on board and if they were too small they were throwing the marlin back into the water.

As of Thursday morning, McCann’s and McKinley’s fish were both worth an estimated $75,000.

After three days of fishing, no

qualifying blue marlin was weighed.

If no blues are brought to the scale, the prize money will go into the white marlin division.

The tuna division was action packed. After three days of weigh-ins, Jeremy Gers’ 248.5 pounder, caught on Mia Joes on Tuesday, was in first place. The estimated payout for the bigeye as of Thursday morning was $166,000. The Mia Joes also had the third-place tuna after three days of weigh ins. Dante Soriente’s 233.5pound bigeye could win the crew $24,000.

Will McAteer was in second place Thursday morning with his 240.5pound bigeye landed on Maverick on Wednesday. The crew could receive a

payout of $250,000 for the catch.

In the dolphin division, Why Knot angler Jeff Collins was in first place Wednesday night with a 34 pounder he caught that day, potentially worth $14,000. Bill Gerlach’s 33 pounder he landed Wednesday on Billfisher was in second place and was worth an estimated $3,000. Greg Fellers’ 29.5-pound dolphin he boated Monday on Incorrigible was in the third spot. The fish could bring in $12,000.

Bryan Graul’s 25-pound dolphin he hooked on Tuesday on Krazy Salts is estimated to be worth $10,000.

The only shark landed weighed 133.5 pounds. Mike Peet caught the shark aboard No Quarter on Monday.

The team could pocket $4,000 if it remains in first place.

A total of 262 boats are entered in the tournament. The estimated payout is $2.4 million.

“The tournament is going really well,” Motsko said Thursday morning. “Who would have ever thought there would be a three-way tie for first place with three 77-pounders and they we’d get an 83-pound marlin to take over first place.”

The final day of fishing is today, Friday. Weigh-ins are from 4-9:15 p.m.

Berlin All-Stars to play in regional semifinal match View game between local boys and Pennsylvania on ESPN, Aug. 9, at 3 p.m.

LIZ LANE ■ Intern (Aug. 9, 2013) The Berlin Little League All-Stars competed in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Little League Tournament this week, held in Bristol, Conn., and advanced to the semifinal game today, Friday, despite two losses.

Assistant Coach Eric Snelsire said it’s been “a great week.”

“These boys have been incredible and we’re doing really well so far,” said Coach Bill Wheatley. “The first two were both very good games.”

The tournament kicked off for Berlin with a game against New Jersey last Friday. The All-Stars won 5-4 over the East Greenwich New Jersey Little League team. The Berlin offensive started strong with two runs in the first inning.

Hayden Snelsire pitched four innings, only allowing three runs. He struck out three, walked two and allowed four hits. Tristan McDonough racked up two RBIs on two hits for Berlin. On the mound, McDonough allowing one hit, one earned run, walked one and struck out two during his two innings of relief.

The Berlin All-Stars went up against the Newark National Little League team last Saturday and won 62 over the Delaware squad.

Matt Kinsey pitched five and two-

thirds innings, allowing only two runs.

He struck out three and gave up seven hits. Zach Pletcher relieved Kinsey and struck out Newark in three pitches.

Berlin scored once in the first, second and third innings. The All-Stars held the game-winning score in the bottom of the fifth when McDonough hit a two-run home run. Wheatley then hit a single, stole second and advanced to third. Wes Powell’s baseclearing double brought Wheatley home.

The winning streak soon ended for Berlin. Washington, D.C., edged out the local Maryland team 11-10 on Monday and Pennsylvania shut out Berlin 2-0 on Tuesday. Coach Wheatley said they were both “really close games.”

Billy Wheatley pitched the first two innings of Monday’s game against Capital City. The Washington, D.C. team scored three in the first inning and four in the top of the second.

Berlin scored three runs in the bottom of the first but went two more innings without putting a runner on base.

Pletcher replaced Wheatley in the third inning and gave up three runs, giving D.C. a 10-3 lead. Berlin then scored five in the bottom of the fourth, including a two-run single by Kinsey and a two-run triple by Powell.

The game went scoreless in the fifth inning. D.C. scored one in the top of the sixth and Jack Rosengerg hit a two-run triple for Berlin in the bottom half of the inning.

Coach Snelsire said the team and its coaches toured the ESPN studio in

Bristol after the D.C. game. He said it was a “great experience” for Berlin and helped them to bond. However, the All-Stars got right back into the tournament the following day.

The game against Lionville Little League Tuesday remained scoreless for the first inning. Pennsylvania hit a home run in the top of the second and scored again in the top of the sixth.

Berlin failed to scored the entire game and left a total of nine runners stranded on the bases.

Despite the two losses, Berlin will go up against Pennsylvania again in the semifinal game today, Friday, at 3 p.m., which will be broadcast on ESPN. If Berlin wins the game, they will advance to the championship match and have a shot at playing in the Little League World Series, held Aug. 15-25, in Williamsport, Pa. “I’ll tell you what, I believe in this team,” said Wheatley. “One of our mottos is ‘Don’t stop believing.’ They are very talented kids and I’m very proud of them.”

The Berlin All-Stars are still accepting donations to help fund their trips.

“These guys are really skilled in baseball,” said Snelsire. “They’re a really special group and I’m proud of how they handle themselves on and off the field. I’ve also gotten comments about the level of class at which they play.”

Ladies-only fishing competition benefits breast cancer research Poor Girls Open kicks off Thursday; participants will fish one of three days LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Aug. 9, 2013) Female anglers will lead the charge next week as hundreds are expected to participate in the 20th annual Capt. Steve Harman’s Poor Girls Open, Aug. 15-17.

Women enjoy fishing in the tournament because it benefits a worthy cause — breast cancer research, said co-director Earl Conley. Proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society and earmarked for breast cancer research and program development, under the “Pink Ribbon Classic” — a series of local events that benefit the organization.

Many women participate in the event annually, including cancer survivors. Although it is a competition, there is camaraderie among the lady

anglers.

“A day of fishing can bring so many people together for a common cause,” Conley said. “Ladies really resonate with breast cancer. It’s an opportunity to show their involvement and raise some money.”

The cost to enter the tournament is $450 per boat for up to three anglers.

Other anglers may be added at $50 each (six-woman crew maximum per boat).

Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three teams with the most billfish

release points. White marlin and sailfish releases are worth 100 points each, while blue marlin and swordfish releases earn anglers 110 points. Anglers who boat the three heaviest tuna and dolphin will also received cash prizes.

There are added entry levels for billfish releases, tuna and dolphin.

Girls 16 and younger may compete in the junior angler division.

and anglers are still catching bigeye.

There’s also a couple yellowfin packs out there as well as dolphin,” Conley said Monday. “There’s a variety of different things out there anglers can catch. Hopefully, the warm water will stay close.”

Registration for the tournament will begin at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 14, at Bahia Marina, 22nd Street on the bay. A captains’ meeting will follow.

Anglers may fish one of the three days: Thursday, Aug. 15, Friday, Aug. 16, or Saturday, Aug. 17. Weigh-ins will take place daily, from 4-7:30 p.m., at the marina.

Pink Ribbon merchandise will be for sale and auction items will be set up near the weigh-in scale in the Bahia Marina/Fish Tales parking lot for anyone who wants to bid. There will also be a 50/50 raffle. Donations will be accepted, as well.

An awards luncheon is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 18, at the Marlin Club in West Ocean City.

Money raised during the tournament is donated to the American Cancer Society and earmarked for breast cancer research and program development. While some of the money is used for research on a national level, the remainder stays in the area to assist in local breast cancer awareness and patient programs and services.

The competition has grown since its inception — eight boats participated in the first tournament and in 2012, 108 vessels carried 499 female anglers offshore. A total of $95,980 was paid out to the 2012 winners. Last year’s attendance was up from the 88 boats and 403 anglers that fished in 2011 when $81,390 was awarded to the top teams.

In 2012, the Harman family presented the American Cancer Society with a check for $62,500 during the tournament’s awards ceremony.

Approximately $9,000 of the contribution came from money raised during Fish Tales’ summerlong cornhole competition, as well as its third annual “Clamming for a Cure” contest in July. The total donated by the Harman family through the tournament and other events over the past five years is about $312,000.

In 2004, the tournament was renamed to honor the founder of the event, the late Capt. Steve Harman. He and his wife, Pam, started the Poor Girls Open in 1994 to provide women with an opportunity to compete for prizes and money in a ladies-only tournament and to raise money for local charities. Harman died in February 2004, so organizers thought it was appropriate the tournament be renamed in his memory.

New wheelchair division added to Lacrosse Classic this year Four teams to participate in inaugural ‘Rolling Surf’ class; games begin Wed. LIZ LANE Intern (Aug. 9, 2013) The annual Ocean City Lacrosse Classic is scheduled for Aug. 14-18 in the resort and Tournament Director Bob Musitano called it the “largest adult tournament in the country.” This year, the competition will kick off Wednesday with a new “Rolling Surf” wheelchair division.

The new division is an addition made by Musitano and Mark Flounlacker, a wheelchair athlete. The division consists of four teams from Maryland, Virginia, California and Colorado. Flounlacker will coach and play on the Maryland team.

The four teams will go head-tohead on Wednesday and continue playing Thursday, Aug. 15, at Northside Park on 125th Street. Six players will play on the field at a time with one goalie for each team.

Musitano said Flounlacker is a former teammate who approached him with the idea of adding the division.

Musitano said the decision was obvious.

“It’s been a lot of work but Bob really took this under his wing and made it his baby,” said Flounlacker. “Bob provided [the wheelchair sports community] with the opportunity to play.”

Flounlacker said he wanted to add the division to “give a good showcase of wheel chair sports,” and that he is looking forward to its inaugural year.

In 2011, Flounlacker injured his spine when he fell from a tree stand while hunting. He is partially paralyzed from the waist down and now moves around with crutches. Flounlacker said wheelchair sports are his outlet.

“It was important for me to know I could have fun again,” he said. “[This tournament] is really the first time we all get together and compete against each other.”

The tournament also consists of seven other divisions. Approximately 1,100 players on 115 teams are expected to compete.

The 53 Men’s Elite (18 and older)

teams, 12 Master’s (35 and older) teams and eight Grandmaster’s (45 and older) teams will get the lacrosse action started on Thursday, Aug. 15, at Northside Park and the Northern Worcester County Athletic Complex off Route 113 in Berlin. The teams will continue play throughout the weekend.

The four Men’s King Neptune (50 and older) teams and the 31 Women’s Elite (18 and older) teams will begin playing Friday, Aug. 16, at Northside Park.

Championship matches for all divisions, except Rolling Surf, will be played Sunday, Aug. 18.

Musitano said the teams consist of collegiate and post-collegiate athletes as well as professional lacrosse players. Each team is guaranteed to play

"

four games, with a maximum of seven.

Musitano said the tournament is “quite a boost” for Ocean City business. He said the event usually draws between 8,000-10,000 spectators who will see high-level lacrosse being played in more than 200 games.

Proceeds from the Classic will be donated back to the community in the form of scholarships and local lacrosse support. Musitano said approximately $7,000 in scholarships is awarded to student-athletes at Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin, where he is the girls’ head lacrosse coach.

“People are already asking for 2014 dates for the tournament,” Musitano said.

Beach drinking: let’s use some discretion A member of the area judiciary observed some years ago in court that he enjoys drinking a beer on the beach while surf fishing in the evening. He is hardly alone and that is where enforcing the ban on alcohol on the beach becomes a little sticky.

There is a huge difference between sipping a beer on a mostly vacant nighttime beach and hoping the kingfish are biting and chugging a 12-pack on a crowded beach in the afternoon and raising hell.

The ban on beach-based imbibing does not make that distinction and, in the past, neither did every member of the police department. There was a time when more than a few respectable people enjoying a quiet drink and conversation on the beach in the evening hours found themselves on the tough end of the open container law.

It some respects, the alcohol ban is like the restriction on beach use itself. Although many people may not be aware of it, the beach is off limits to the public after 10 p.m.

When enforcement of that particular ordinance came up for discussion in the mid 1990s, then Mayor Fish Powell observed that he would hate to think that a couple inclined to take a moonlit walk on the beach would be subject to arrest. The council at the time agreed that the law would remain on the books but that it would be applied with discretion.

That also is the key to enforcing the drinking ban on the beach. Ocean City does not need to come down harshly on everyone, judges included, who might have a beer or two in his or her possession. Bad behavior that affects other people, however, is a different matter.

Launching a campaign to advise people of the nodrinking rule is fine, just as it is not only fine, but also expected, that bad behavior will result in a tough response.

What we need is not necessarily tougher enforcement of an inflexible rule, but a rule that can be enforced with discretion and when the circumstances require it.

By Stewart Dobson

I’ve been trying to figure out the recent fascination with machetes by, apparently, undesirable people. It doesn’t make a great deal of sense to me, considering that it isn’t as if you can stash a machete down your pant leg without risking … everything.

I can only imagine some felonious sort going up to someone else and saying, “Your money or your life! Just let me whip out my machete and … aaeeeeeeeeiiiiii!

Would you call 911?”

The fact is, I do know something about machetes, since I got one when I was about 13 from an army surplus store. My parents okayed the idea because they figured I would cause fewer problems with that than I would with my chemistry set.

“Get that boy out in the woods where he can’t stink up the place,” my father said at the time.

So, courtesy of Willie’s Fair or some similarly named place, I got my very own genuine U.S. Army, cut-swaths-through-the-jungle machete.

For all practical purposes, I was completely outfitted for life in the wilds of Caroline County, Md., where there was, and is, always the possibility that you might become lost in a soybean field and need to hack your way to civilization.

But as a personal defense weapon? I have had more deadly egg salad sandwiches.

A felonious sort comes up to you, whips out his machete, demands money and you say, “Oh yeah? Get a whiff of this!”

When it comes to carrying dangerous weapons (as if there are non-dangerous weapons) there are so many other options besides something as cumbersome as a machete.

Take my bait bucket, for instance, in which resides the remnants of an artificial bait known as Gulps.

Gulps are some kind of plastic that is infused with a liquid that was apparently derived from a Dow Chemical spill.

At the very least, it has been suggested that people who wish to avoid growing a third anything on their person should not venture too near the bed of my truck where the bait bucket and its curly little residents are permitted to exist.

True, I could rinse it out, but that would render me defenseless should I be set upon by machetecarrying miscreants and require some form of deterrent.

“A machete? Ha!” I say with amusement as I uncap my bait bucket. “Say hello to my little friends!”

Plein air: (in the open air) Painting in natural light gives work a degree of freshness CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer

a.m. to 2 p.m. Musicians are invited to bring their instruments to the jam session with George Hall from 1-3 p.m. and again from 4-5:30 p.m.

A dance performance by the Pine Steppers will be presented from 3-3:30 p.m. and an adult and youth talent show is scheduled for 6 p.m. where prizes will be awarded to top performers. There will also be a gunfight by the Del Rio Rangers, Native American dancing and storytelling, quilters and Williams Blacksmith and Ironworks.

Beef, meat and dairy goat and swine shows will be presented throughout the day. Children’s activities will begin at 11:30 a.m. with a limbo contest and continue throughout the day with a watermelon-eating contest, pedal tractor event, Kool Pop eating contest, chicken

(Aug. 9, 2013) Artists from around the region will take to the Boardwalk, streets, harbors, bays and beaches to paint Ocean City en plein air — “in the open air” — today and Saturday, with their works available during a “wet paint” sale to follow.

The 2013 Artists Paint OC competition presented by the Art League of Ocean City will see from 40-50 artists create up to three works apiece, Art League Executive Director Rina Thaler said.

“There’s a lot of subject matter here, and we take it for granted when we live here,” she said. “Artists get excited to come to Ocean City.”

Plein air events are “something very special and rare, because most of the time painters are hidden within their studio,” said artist David Simpson, who will paint for his third year in the Artists Paint OC competition and is an artist in residence at the Center for the Arts on 94th Street this month.

He said painting outside presents both challenges and benefits.

“All the elements are, in some respects, against you, but also for you. You have that wonderful aesthetic and experience of painting outside, but at the same time, it’s more challenging,” he said.

That’s because lighting and subjects move, and weather can be unpredictable, or at least uncomfortable.

Plein air painter Dennis Young turned down a prominent plein air competition in New Hope, Pa., to paint Ocean City’s Boardwalk and iconic landmarks for a second time this weekend.

“I get to experience all the sights and the atmosphere of painting on-site,” he said, and “I particularly like people stopping by and chatting with me while I’m painting.”

He compared his paintings to postcards, “in that when you take them

An array of livestock shows, games, activities and entertainment is scheduled throughout the three-day event for all ages.

Worcester County Fair this weekend Variety of activities such as games, livestock shows and eating contests on tap LIZ LANE ■ Intern (Aug. 9, 2013) The Worcester County Fair kicks off today and will continue through Sunday at Byrd Park in Snow Hill, with an array of livestock shows, games, activities and entertainment for all ages.

“There’s a little bit of something to do for the whole family,” said Cindy Morris, fair board member. “There’s shows for the adults and games and livestock for the kids.”

Morris said as many as 11,000 peo-

ple, depending on the weather, have attended the fair in past years. She said it has been presented more than 20 years and more than 100 volunteers have signed up. The three-day event is free to attend.

The activities today, Friday, will begin with a horse show at 8 a.m. Fair and county agencies will also be in attendance to celebrate Safe Kid’s Day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The day will continue with sheep and dairy cow shows, as well as rabbit and poultry judging.

Bidding for the cake and pie auction will begin at 6:30 p.m. The auction is a fundraiser for the fair and the cakes and pies typically go for around $30 or more.

Saturday’s activities will begin with a classic car and truck show from 11

“It’s easy to be transported back to the fun of the Boardwalk, a warm summer day, the fellow that was posing in front of the kite loft,” Simpson said.

Artists will have the opportunity to use their oil paints, acrylics and pastels in a range of space around the city, from the popular Northside Park on 125th Street to quiet marshes, the crowded Boardwalk and even Assateague seashore. Painters will report their whereabouts to the Art League so their locations can be pinned on a map, allowing spectators to watch them work around town, Thaler said.

Talking with passersby is part of the appeal of plein air events, said local painter Rebecca Morgan, who will participate for her second year in the competition.

“I really like the idea of being outside in Ocean City… and being able to have people actually see the art and come up and talk to you,” she said.

Artwork will be “for every price range,” Thaler said, with many smaller pieces given the constraints of a two-day, outdoor competition.

“They’re very fresh because the artist is in the moment while they’re painting, as opposed to a studio painting,” she said.

HAPPY HOUR

An Ocean City Tradition ENTERTAINMENT:

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Impatience with those who don’t keep up with you can cause resistance, which, in turn, can lead to more delays. Best to be helpful and supportive if you want results.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A surprise announcement from a colleague could put you on the defensive. Gather your facts and respond. You’ll soon find the situation shifting in your favor.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Time spent away from a project pays off with a new awareness of options you hadn’t considered before. Weigh them carefully before deciding which to choose.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Consider confronting that personal conflict while there’s still time to work things out. A delay can cause more problems. A longtime colleague might offer to mediate.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some emerging matters could impede the Lion’s progress in completing an important project. Best advice: Deal with them now, before they can create costly delays.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your aspect continues to favor an expanding vista. This could be a good time to make a career move, and taking an out-of-town job could be a good way to do it.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Disruptive family disputes need to be settled so that everyone can move on. Avoid assuming this burden alone, though. Ask for — no, demand — help with this problem.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Patience is called for as you await word on an important workplace situation. A personal circumstance, however, could benefit by your taking immediate action.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Don’t lose confidence in yourself. Those doubters are likely to back off if you demand they show solid proof why they think your ideas won’t work.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A temporary setback might cause the usually sure-footed Goat some unsettling moments. But keep going. The path ahead gets easier as you move forward.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) There’s welcome news from the workplace. There also could be good news involving a relationship that has long held a special meaning for you.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might still need to cut some lingering ties to a situation that no longer has the appeal it once held. In the meantime, you can start to explore other opportunities.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of what’s right can inspire others if you remember not to push too hard to make your case. Moderation works best for you.

Dulebohn performs with ‘The Next Ice Age’ Olympic ice skater joins Baltimore-based group for shows in Ocean City LIZ LANE Intern

PHOTO COURTESY PHILIP DULEBOHN

Philip Dulebohn skates with Tiffany Scott in the 2005 Figure Skating Nationals.

(Aug. 9, 2013) Figure skating competitions have taken Philip Dulebohn around the world and earned him numerous titles.

Now “at peace” with his career, Dulebohn has found himself performing in the resort at the Carousel Hotel this summer.

The 39-year-old athlete is living in the 118th Street hotel while he skates with “The Next Ice Age,” a Baltimorebased dance company on ice.

The group performs every night for 10 weeks until Aug. 21 on the hotel’s ice rink.

Dulebohn said this is his second time working with the company after Nathan Birch, founding artist director, contacted him.

“Nathan sent me a Facebook message and proposed the idea of me skating with The Next Ice Age in Ocean City,” Dulebohn said. “I just thought it would be a really good opportunity and that it would be fun and different for me.”

Dulebohn performed with the company in Baltimore when he was 10 years old under the coaching of Tim Murphy, co-founder and choreographer of The Next Ice Age. By that time, Dulebohn had already had about five years of skating experience.

A skating rink had just opened in his hometown of Germantown, Md., when Dulebohn was 4 years old.

After his brother began taking lessons, he wanted to be on the ice as well and fell immediately in love with skating.

“My first private coach was so funloving and spirited and is who made me really excited about skating,” Dulebohn said.

It is the time between his “Ice Age” performances that made the professional skater say his second appearance with them is “definitely different than what [he] used to do.”

He competed in his first competition in 1989. He captured his first champion title at the United States Figure Skating Championship, held in Baltimore, in the novice men’s category.

He continued to skate solo until 1997 when he began skating with a partner. Dulebohn competed again in the U.S. championship and won the silver medal in the pairs division from

2000-2002. He also competed in the World Figure Skating Championship the same years in France, Canada and Japan. The Olympics were next.

Dulebohn partnered with Tiffany Scott for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. While the pair did not place in the competition, they captured the gold medal together the following year in the U.S. championship.

Scott and Dulebohn split in 2005, but he now coaches her and her new partner.

“It’s definitely been a long career and I climbed that ladder,” he said. “I accomplished everything I wanted to do and I’m at peace with what I’ve done.”

Dulebohn said he has other ventures besides skating in mind. After majoring in finance at the University of Delaware, he said he wants to start a Web site company and is looking at a few small businesses.

When he is not skating or pursuing his future business endeavors, Dulebohn enjoys playing on the beach and mountain biking. However, he said skating his focus right now.

“It’s always been a pleasure working with The Next Ice Age,” he said.

“Tim [Murphy] has been a great mentor in my early younger years and I just want to do a good job and I hope everyone enjoys the show.”

Actors William and Sue Wills to portray presidential couples (Aug. 9, 2013) On July 22, 1962, Ocean City was a buzz – the rumors were true – the Vice President of the United States Lyndon Johnson and his wife Lady Bird would be coming to the resort for the grand opening of Bobby Baker’s Carousel Hotel on 118th Street. Baker had been Johnson’s right hand man in the Senate and The Carousel Hotel had been a dream of his for years.

Now 51 years, later they will return to Ocean City in the form of actors William and Sue Wills as part of their ground breaking event, “33 Presidential Couples in 5 Days” at the OC Jamboree Theater, Tuesday, Oct. 29 through Saturday, Nov. 2 to benefit The Wounded Warrior Project. The Johnsons will be portrayed during the Saturday afternoon session along with The Kennedys.

The five days will consist of a morning, afternoon, and evening session each day, during which time two or three presidential couples’ life stories will be presented. Many shows are about an hour in length, but there are some, because of lack of information available, that run 30 minutes or so.

William Wills describes the presentations as “dramatically read dialogues” which are given in the simplest of settings - two lecterns, some chairs and props. But adding costuming, dialects, and bringing the personalities alive with their combined 70 years in theater, these

performers are able to move audiences to laughter and tears and to give great insights into these leaders form the past.

One patron opined that “Congress should declare The Wills a living national monument!”

Not only will you learn the strengths and weaknesses, successes and struggles, joys and heartbreaks of these couples, but more than 250 years of American history will unfold before your eyes.

You will see the seeds of independence grow to the establishment of a country; the almost immediate discussion of the role of the Federal government; understand the years leading to the civil war era; the growth into the industrial age; how the 20th century became America’s century; and the upheavals in American society caused by the Vietnam era.

There will be an all-event ticket available for $150. Daily tickets cost $40 and individual session tickets are $20.

A special non- profit organization, Presidents Project, Inc., has been created and all profits will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. Except for travel expenses and lodging, the Wills will receive no compensation for their almost 25 hours on stage over the five days.

To purchase tickets, visit www.presidentsproject.org or write to Presidents Project, Inc. 1853 Linden Road Winter Park, Fla. 32792.

SHARK WEEK Adam Adrignolo, 15, far left, holds a shark caught off his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dock in Newport Bay while crabbing July 28. Seeing small hammerheads, dusky sharks and nurse sharks in the bay this time of year â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not uncommonâ&#x20AC;? since food like menhaden and spot fish is abundant there, said Science Coordinator Dr. Roman Jesien of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program.

Allen to celebrate birthday with show at OC Jamboree (Aug. 9, 2013) Legendary Country Western Star Rex Allen, Jr. has announced he will appear in West Ocean City for one show only in August on the occasion of his 66th birthday as part of his ongoing national tour schedule.

Allen was the star of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesteryearâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Statler Brothers Showâ&#x20AC;? on The Nashville Network (TNN) for more than eight years. During his ongoing recording career he has had more than 50 hits including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Over,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lonely Streetâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two Less Lonely People.â&#x20AC;? Critics acclaim him as truly a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living Legacyâ&#x20AC;? of Country and Western Music.

When Allen realized that the date of his concert coincided with his birthday he decided to just make it a huge birthday party and celebrate with all his fans.

He promises thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be cake for everyone, but jokes that getting older means he might not be able to blow out that many candles anymore with one breath. He promises his show will include remembrances of all the years he spent on television with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Statler Brothersâ&#x20AC;? as well as many tales and stories shared of his beloved father, Rex Sr., who was one of the Original Singing Cowboys and often performed with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry.

Allens Birthday Bash will take place at The OC Jamboree in West Ocean City on Friday, Aug. 23 at 2 p.m. Advance reservations are strongly suggested for this performance. Tickets may be obtained by calling The OC Jamboree box office at 410-213-7581 or by going online at www.ocjam.com.

All seating is reserved, theater style and strictly limited on a first come basis. Tickets cost $35.

Ocean City Ghost Walk takes about hour and a half to complete tour including Sandy Hurley from the Lifesaving Station, historians George and Sue Hurley, Charlie Purnell from the Atlantic Hotel, Brooks Trimper from Trimper’s Rides and several Trimper’s staff and welcomed help and advice from Glenn Irwin of the Ocean City Development Corporation and Lisa Challenger, Director of Worcester County Tourism.

In addition the formal interviews, Burgoyne conducted dozens of phone interviews and combed through genealogical records and the folklore collection at the Nabb Research CenContinued from Page 11B

ter at Salisbury University. The end result is a walking tour that highlights ghosts of hoteliers, sea captains, opera singers, fisherman, ghosts from shipwrecks, suicides and several ghosts believed to be Ocean City legends who just aren’t willing to leave, even though they’re dead.

The Ocean City Ghost Walk takes approximately one and a half hours to complete and guests will walk about 1.5 miles. Good walking shoes and weather-smart clothing is suggested.

The cost is $15 for adults and $9 for children ages 8-12. Advanced registration and ticket purchase is re-

Rip currents and shore break can pose dangerous situations ON GUARD

Be aware of oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power and changing movements KRISTIN JOSON Contributing Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) August not only brings hot humid temperatures, but the ocean typically gets rougher as tropical storm activity is more prevalent in the Atlantic Basin pushing larger more frequent waves onto our beaches. Rip currents, shore break, and what some might refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;great body boarding wavesâ&#x20AC;? all can pose dangerous situations for swimmers.

People who are unaware of the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power and swiftly changing movements can suddenly find themselves in trouble without realizing it.

Swimmers who overestimate their abilities while underestimating the power of the ocean and its waves and currents, may be in for an unpleasant life-altering experience. The crushing power of a ton of water in the form of a wave can cause serious or fatal bone and joint injuries.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol recommends that you ask the SRT on duty about the current water conditions for the day. They will inform you of any potential hazards that you should be aware of. Your SRT may even gather everyone on their beach around their stand for a safety talk to make sure you are aware of constantly changing conditions. However, if an unfortunate accident should happen, SRTs are well prepared to handle any emergency.

Although broken ankles, dislocated shoulders, concussions and cracked ribs are not uncommon injuries for active people, the most serious of these involve head, neck and back injuries. Most people are aware that on land it is always best not to move a person who may have a back injury.

However, in the ocean the movement of the waves makes leaving the victim in the surf, to possibly sustain more injuries, not an option and if they are unconscious or immobile may create a drowning situation. A quick and controlled removal is critical but putting victims on backboards while in the surf can actually cause more damage.

Beach patrol guards are taught how to effectively and carefully extract victims from the surf who may have sustained an injury to the head, neck or back. Guards work as a team to carry a victim to safety while minimizing movement to the head, neck and back. The Beach patrol has collaborated with medical professionals to modify a technique of removing victims with suspected neck or back injuries out of deep and or shallow water. The technique has been refined over many years of training and usage from its introduction as a technique developed in Hawaii.

The modified technique is unique to the OCBP, but has developed with input from the medical community and emergency providers. It has been approved by

the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services as a state standard with the Ocean City Beach Patrol as the only organization that is certified to teach other first responders and organizations in this victim removal technique.

Because of our experience and expertise in this area we have been asked by Beach patrols as far away as California to share our training materials and have been featured presenters at several statewide Emergency Medical Services symposiums.

The most common culprit of neck injuries results from swimmers that are body surfing or body boarding incor-

rectly or in unsafe conditions. To make sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience our extraction technique first hand, you use the proper technique for riding waves. The safest method is to get in front of the wave so it is pushing you out in front and finish your ride before running out of water.

Body boarding on the top of a breaking wave may cause you to be propelled to the ocean floor. To prevent this, stay on the rear half of the board and if you need to bailout, go off the back of the board.

The proper way to body surf a wave is to have your hands out in front of your body; this allows for more control of movement in the water.

The most dangerous condition exists when we are experiencing shore break.

Shore break occurs when waves continue to build and crash with full force on the shore with little or no water depth. When

unsuspecting victims find themselves on a breaking wave and they are being thrown into shallow water they have set themselves up for a tragedy. Never ride a wave during shore break conditions or play in the impact zone.

Although education and prevention are the primary focus of the beach patrol mission, SRTs are well trained and prepared to handle severe neck and back injuries (although we prefer preventing injuries before they occur). If they find a victim unconscious and the injury is unknown,that are trained to treat any unknown injury as a suspected neck back injury. Just last week this happened.

A man was suddenly floating face down in shallow water although there was no warning of any difficulty prior to this sudden situation. It was obvious that See ASK on Page 14B

The OCBP trains all SRTs in neck and back injury victim removal. Here the rookies are practicing, under the watchful eyes of veteran guards, their skills at Rookie Graduation in early July. The first guard on the scene is supporting the neck as he makes his way back to shore. Other guards assist in the victim removal and support of the back and neck. The victim will remain stabilized on the beach until paramedics arrive and a full assessment of the potential injury is completed.

Ask SRTs about surf conditions ON GUARD this was a medical induced situation since the person had not been struggling which would have been the case in a simple water rescue scenario. As OCBP protocol requires, the guards treated the victim as if they had a neck back injury along with performing CPR since they found no pulse. The victim had none of the signs or symptoms of a spinal injury Continued from Page 13B

Crossword answers from page 12B

such as abrasions or a nose bleed that might indicate impact with the ocean floor. However, the SRT’s continued to treat the victim as if there was a potential injury to the head, neck or back, even while performing lifesaving CPR. Later we found out the victim indeed did have a fracture to one of the cervical vertebrae in their spinal column which was the cause of the sudden medical emergency.

Being aware of the dangers that could occur in the ocean is the first step to prevention. Diving or doing flips in shallow water as well as riding waves that are breaking on the beach could lead to serious injuries or death. Never underestimate the power of the ocean, keep yourself and your loved ones safe by always checking with the SRT on duty about daily surf conditions at your beach.

SRTs are more than happy to answer any questions that beach goers may have.

Captain’s Note: The emergency that is described in this article would have turned out very differently had this occurred while the beach patrol was off duty. Again, it is a reminder to only go in the ocean when the SRT’s are on duty 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Leave beet protective coating, skin on when cooking FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Chilled summer borscht, feast of flavors, textures DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) Unraveling the mysteries of the earth is as much a part of cooking as it is of science. Part of the enjoyment of a job well done in the kitchen is the discovery of something new or different.

There is, for instance, the beet, the thought of which does not necessarily send shivers of delight up the spines of diners everywhere. But then, those who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of how much can be done with this glorious vegetable are missing something special.

The beet (beta vulgaris) originated in North Africa thousands of years ago and went on to grow wild along the seashores of Europe and Asia. In the earliest of times, its leaves were used for medicinal purposes. Eventually, cooks realized the value and tastiness of its bulbous root and an array of recipes followed.

The beetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protective coating or skin should be left on when cooking, even though it sometimes imparts a pink pigment on the fingers. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry, it will quickly fade. Sugar beets are about 20 percent sugar while beets or beetroot take

second place at 10 percent.

Puree them with heavy cream and the color of gorgeous fuchsia wondrously takes center stage. This delight is tempting indeed.

In Australia, pickled beets are commonly put on hamburgers.

Some writings suggest beet juice was used as a natural red dye in the 16th century. It also was as a hair dye.

Soup is an ingenious feat: inexpensive and hard to beat. Good manners aside, delve into the stew of savory scraps. The delightful dish tickles the sense of smell and warms the soul.

Borscht is an Eastern European and has been a winter staple in countries like Russia and Poland since the 14th century.

Over time, many variations of this beet soup have emerged.

Summer borscht is a feast of flavors and textures. The refreshing, chilled soup is stunning and a great way to start a celebration.

Cutting the beets into small and medium pieces enhances the beet theme and at the same time allows the other ingredients to shine. Following is a simple recipe inspired by Ina Garten.

Jonathan Pressman presents checks to Justin Unger, acting superintendent of Assateague Island National Seashore, left, and Carolyn Cummins, Assateague Island Alliance treasurer.

Pressman helps fund genetic testing for Assateague horses (Aug. 9. 2013) Like many young people, 13-year-old Jonathan Pressman of Ohio wants to help animals. Instead of just thinking about helping, Pressman acted by researching a cause and independently raising funds for it.

He presented a handful of checks totaling $935 to Assateague Island Alliance,

the nonprofit friends group of Assateague Island National Seashore. Pressman explained that Jewish boys at age 13 (girls at 12) take on a social action project and he wanted to do something to support animals.

“Although he was a little shy about saying so, the Assateague Island Alliance was actually one of several organizations Jonathan researched. He was quite impressed with what he learned about the [Assateague Island National Seashore’s] use of contraception to keep the horse population in balance with the ecosystem, thus preserving both,” said Stacia Dearman, Pressman’s mother. “He wrote a description of the program for family and friends and shared it with them when he encouraged them to donate [in honor of his Bar Mitzvah]. The response from the community was very warm.”

According to the National Park Service Feral Horse Management Plan a healthy horse population “maintains sufficient genetic diversity to avoid problems with inbreeding.”

Genetic testing helps the park decide which mares should be allowed to breed to increase genetic diversity. The combination of such controlled breeding and immunocontraception has proven to be an effective means in preserving the longterm health and viability of the herd, and in turn maintaining the health of the island, as stated by a study in the Journal of Wildlife Management.

A donation made to AIA guarantees that all of the funds will remain in the park. With the National Park Service operating at a reduced budget and more cuts are looming for the future, donations like those from Pressman help to ensure these wildlife management programs can continue.

Assateague Island Alliance was formed Jan. 1, 2008 to support Assateague Island National Seashore and its goal to provide enjoyment and hands-on learning experiences for millions of visitors.

Studio 6 salon hosts fundraiser for Lance Cpl. Mark Fidler (Aug. 9, 2013) During his first combat mission in Afghanistan, Lance Cpl. Mark Fidlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life would take an unexpected and tragic turn. While on foot patrol in Sangin, Afghanistan on Oct. 3, 2011, he stepped on an IED (improvised explosive device.)

With a belt of live grenades strapped to his waist, the blast was so severe that it blew off both of his legs, and most of the rear of his body. Not expected to live, his buddy carried him to safety, frantically trying to control the bleeding. When he arrived in the hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, surgeons removed what was left of his legs at the hip, using the tissue and muscle to repair what was left of his backside.

Following a lengthy in-patient stay at Walter Reed National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, he is now rehabilitating at its out-patient facility, Building 62.

While Fidler, and the thousands of young men and women who have suffered severe physical and mental injuries as a result of the War on Terror, are receiving the best medical care possible, they face the rest of their lives needing ongoing supportâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;everything from customized wheelchairs, accessible homes, specialized vehicles, and a wide variety of physical and psychological assistance.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bravest need to be supported and never forgotten by the American public.

In an effort to help Fidler with his recovery and provide funds for him to continue to progress and eventually leave Walter Reed, Studio 6 Hair Salon will host a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hair for Heroes Cut-a-Thonâ&#x20AC;? on Saturday, Aug. 17, from noon to 5 p.m., at 12607 Ocean Gateway in West Ocean City.

The salon will donate all of the proceeds of any service including haircuts and color to Fidler and his family. According to Studio 6 founder, Shannon Gompers, the event is a way to help someone who has â&#x20AC;&#x153;given their all for our country.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mark is an amazing young man, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard about his struggle for some time now. I want to do what I can to help him, and raise awareness for our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wounded warriors who are all heroes in my eyes,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope everyone in the Ocean City area will come over and help support Mark.â&#x20AC;?

Anyone who attends the event will receive a Mark Fidler support bracelet, and a copy of his biography. They can also learn more about Fidler by visiting his Facebook pageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Mark Fidler Support Page. For more information, call 410-213-1135.

DONATION Pam and Macky Stansell, owners of Mackyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar and Grill on 54th Street, have donated $10,000 to the Ocean City Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wounded Warriors Fund and the 8th annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wounded Warriorsâ&#x20AC;?

(Aug. 19, 2013) A mouse is a mouse but not by choice, surely, as it wouldn’t want to be a horse. How much do you think a horse blanket would go for these days? “Stop already!” Don’t reach for that smart phone. I already checked it out. Guess what, folks, in the words of one of my favorite actors. “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”

Before you reach for your IPad to tell me I misquoted Clark Gable, take my advice and RE-READ THE QUOTE. With the summer days dwindling down to a mighty few, you had to know this is sort of a psychotic wrap up of the summer that never was.

Harpoon Hanna’s had more than its share of interesting visitors and locals come to its Wednesday year-round senior happy hour. Being a member of a sixsister family, the eight sisters with shirts proclaiming, “What happens with sisters, stays with sisters,” got my attention.

I figured the sisters were a group of nuns on vacations. Great dancers, these personality-plus, gals. They loved dancing to the tunes of bad, bad Bobby Burns.

They knew all about pole dancing. It’s no big deal to our generation of smart women not to have a male as a dancing partner.

We spent a little time reminiscing about the days of yore, when any stationery object, albeit a chair or a pole, was used to help us master the latest dance steps. The Lynch sisters vowed to return to this fun place where everybody

knows your name, whether it’s summer, fall winter or spring. Hmm. Why does that sound so familiar? Getting up or down or just around town, I found Vince and Nadine Ryan, Kathy and Pete Peterson, Jim and Kathy Ebel, Ray and Carlee, Gary and Martha, Reba Felty, Del Leutner, Joe Trilling and Millie, Bill and Ceil Clark, Fran Kelly, Mary Ellen O’Brien and retired judge and newlywed Theresa with mate Tom Dugan.

Sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to have crossed her path, is Sen. Jim Mathias’s beloved Kathy. Kathy made Delmarva truly the land of pleasant living and a wonderful place to retire for the Kemps and many other locals.

Our generation was truly blessed for having known her.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how come so many of my readers miss my monthly picture page? To his credit, baby boomer Editor Dobson has never failed to put the page in the Lifestyle section exactly where the column has been for years. How he remembers, at his age, is a mystery to this old broad.

I used to forget my lunch, coat or whatever when I was in the 2nd grade.

Mother Punishment had to show me the way to my classroom on a daily basis.

Hmm. Did I mention that the Elks’ Shawn (Smitty) Smith, Joan DeHaven, Tony Sapia, Rita Brennan, Mike Hare, Joan Ratajczak, Pat Mooney and Dolores Cymek celebrated their birthdays this month? True believers, those five, in our town’s age-old tradition of celebrating any and all auspicious occasions for the entire 30 days. C U IN OC TODAY

Said OCPD Chief Ross Buzzuro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Police Academy not only benefits our community but also benefits the officers of the Ocean City Police Department.â&#x20AC;?

Dodge Booster Club fundraiser brings in $2K for SDHS group

John and Russ Barrett of Barrett Chevrolet, Inc., second and third from left, present a $2,000 check to Stephen Decatur High School representatives, from left standing, Choral Boosters President Evy Collins, Principal Tom Zimmer, Assistant Principal Karen White and Chorus Teacher Christine Middlecamp, and seated, choral students Brooke Keane, Madison Collins, Michael Knowles and Brooke Elliott.

(Aug. 9, 2013) Stephen Decatur High School students and families participated in a Dodge Booster Club fundraiser on June 1 and raised $2,000 for the SDHS Choral Boosters.

The Dodge brand contributed $20 for each test drive in a new 2012 Dodge Durango, Journey or Grand Caravan.

“The Dodge brand and our dealers are committed to giving back to the communities where we do business,” said Tim Kuniskis, president and CEO of Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “That is why we are proud to support organizations that encourage student development and growth.”

Barrett Chevrolet, Inc. in Berlin, has a long-standing partnership with

Stephen Decatur High School and the local community.

“We love working with the parents and students in our community,” said Russ Barrett, president of Barrett Chevrolet, Inc. “We were very happy with the community turn out at the Dodge Booster Club school fundraiser. It is our pleasure to present the contribution check to the SDHS Choral Boosters.

We also enjoyed the community’s enthusiastic response to our new 2012 Dodge Durango SUV, Dodge Journey Crossover, and award-winning Dodge Grand Caravan minivan.”

The Dodge brand has supported schools in the communities where the company does business for many years.

Since 1993, Dodge has helped raise an estimated $4.5 million for local schools with test drive programs like the Dodge Booster Club fundraiser.

As seasons shift, so will produce offered at West OC market The location at the outlets has especially helped bring people to the market, said Kieran Clucas of Alaskawild Seafoods.

“There’s people coming here with disposable income on vacation,” Clucas said, “I expected a good crowd.”

While tourists shop at the market, most patrons have been locals, though, said Joe West, a farm assistant at Salisbury’s Greenbranch Farm. People come to the market to find selection and variety of produce they don’t get in grocery stores, he said.

“Due to consumer demand for local food we are seeing an increase in the diversity of market offerings,” USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Administrator Anne Alonzo stated in a press release. “Farmers markets around the country continue to be popular social events for families and communities.”

As the seasons shift, so will the produce available at the market, with more greens like kale, lettuce, broccoli and cabbage coming in the fall. Carlotta plans to keep the market open through late September or early October — whatever the weather permits.

He already has plans in the works to add more vendors to the market next year.

Visit the West Ocean City Farmer’s Market Thursdays from 3-6 p.m. in front of the new J. Crew store at Tanger Outlets on Route 50. Go to www.facebook.com/WestOceanCityFarmersMarket for more information on vendors and market updates.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

REAL ESTATE REPORT

NAR committed to making Web site online destination LAUREN BUNTING Contributing Writer (Aug. 9, 2013) The National Association of Realtors recently reaffirmed its commitment to make realtor.com the “first, best online destination for homebuyers and sellers.”

As expressed in a recent news release from NAR, its board of directors voted in favor of recommendations to modify an existing operating agreement that will help the Web site compete more effectively in an evolving online marketplace. The changes to its operating agreement will allow realtor.com to publish listings from sources beyond those provided by Realtors.

“Over the years, Realtors have invested a lot of time and millions of dollars in building information technology to give consumers online access to real estate information, and we know that consumer demand for all things ‘home’ has never been greater,” said NAR President Gary Thomas, broker-owner of Evergreen Realty in Villa Park, Calif.

“As the most trusted resources for real estate information, Realtors want realtor.com to have the resources and flexibility it needs to give consumers what they want while ensuring that today’s buyers and sellers can continue to rely on Realtors for the most accurate, credible market data. We think the proposed changes achieve both goals.”

BUSINESS 3C

The proposal recommended by NAR’s Board of Directors gives realtor.com more flexibility to identify listings from sources beyond those provided by Realtors. Specifically, board members recommended adding content to realtor.com and its mobile apps in order to enrich the consumer experience and make the Web site more competitive in the online listing space. That includes additional new homes and rental properties, and multiple listing services not affiliated with NAR. The changes will enable realtor.com to: • Display unlisted new homes and new home communities.

• Display unlisted rentals.

• Obtain listings from entities that are not Realtor owned and controlled as well as from brokers who are not Realtors.

• Identify and flag properties where a notice of default has been recorded, auctions of distressed properties, short sales, foreclosures and bank-owned properties.

Consumer for-sale-by-owner, or FSBOs, are still precluded from the site.

The site will reinforce the value of using a Realtor when buying, selling or investing in real estate, and will give consumers tools to differentiate between Realtors and real estate agents who are not Realtors (a Realtor® is a member of NAR).

Gas prices fall this week in Md.

Average retail gasoline prices in Maryland have fallen 3.4 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.63/g on Aug. 4, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,167 gas outlets in Maryland. This compares with the national average that has fallen 1 cent per gallon in the last week to $3.63/g, according to gasoline price Web site GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Maryland during the past week, prices on Aug. 4 were 5.9 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 18.7 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 14.4 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 3.3 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.

“Over the last week, the national average has continued to see a ever so slow downward trend,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “But the downward trend got a shot in the arm last weekend, as we saw the biggest daily drop since April; from July 25-26, the average dropped 1.5 cents. Back on April 13, the US average dropped 1.7 cents from the previous day. Further illustrating the downward trend, 5 percent of the country was over $4/gal Friday.

Last week, 7 percent of the country was over $4/gal,” DeHaan said.

BUSINESS BRIEFS newborn to 12 years, Gymboree clothing is designed with colorful, highquality fabrics and detailed touches throughout.

Reebok opened in suite 890, near Under Armour, in mid-July. Reebok is a leading manufacturer of athletic shoes and apparel for men, women and children.

Cache opened in suite 880, near Under Armour, in mid-July. Caché is a specialty retailer of lifestyle sportswear and dresses targeting style-conscious women.

Perfumes and More opened in suite 919, near Smith Island Cakes, in mid-July. Perfumes and More sells the top designer names in fragrance for men and women.

These eight new outlet stores join an already exciting line up of brand name retailers at Tanger Outlets in Ocean City, many of which opened in just the past 12 months, including Chico’s Outlet which opened in October, Coach Factory /Coach Men’s Factory and Crocs in which both opened in November, and Under Armour which opened last June.

“Brooks Brothers, American Eagle Outfitters, J.Crew, Eddie Bauer, Gymboree, Reebok, Cache and Perfumes and More will appeal to both our year-round residents and the visitor population alike, which will guide shoppers toward the best deals at their favorite designer and brandname stores. And that’s Tanger’s mission.”

Tanger participates in Md. Tax Free Week

Maryland’s Tax Free Week is taking place August 11-17, and the Tanger Outlet Center in Ocean City is celebrating by giving shoppers the chance to save even more. In addition to Tanger’s great outlet prices, many stores will be offering additional tax free specials all week.

Shop brands including J.Crew, Under Armour, American Eagle Outfitters, Tommy Hilfiger, Gymboree, PacSun and Gap. Tanger’s Best Price Guarantee program assures bargain hunters that the everyday price they pay is the lowest possible. If a Tanger shopper finds the same brand name product advertised for less anywhere else within 20 days, they can simply

bring a copy of the advertisement along with the original Tanger sales receipt to the Tanger shopper services office and Tanger will refund the difference on the spot.

“Tanger will truly be a bargain hunter’s paradise for fashionable savings on Tax Free Shopping Week August 11-17,” said Amy Norgate, general manager of the Tanger Outlet Center in Ocean City. “I am really excited for our Back to School shoppers, because they are going to find plenty of great deals and make the most of their Back to School budgets, especially with the eight new stores that just opened this season…”

During Tax Free Week, Tanger Ocean City will also continue to host its signature summer event series “Tanger Thursdays,” which features live music, entertainment, a farmers’ market on site, and a free $10 Tanger gift card for shoppers who spend $50 or more that Thursday.

Shoppers will be able to save even more by downloading TangerStyle 20 percent coupons from Tanger’s Web site www.tangeroutlet.com/tangerstyle or the mobile App. Tanger Outlet Center is located at 12741 Ocean Gateway, on Route 50, in West Ocean City, Maryland. The center features more than 30 outlet stores.
