RECORD-BREAKER That pesky Mother Nature desperately tried (again) to put a damper on the long-awaited Dew Tour, but last weekend’s Pantech Beach Championships still drew a record 93,000 fans Last July, the Pantech Open set a Dew Tour attendance record by drawing approximately 73,000 fans during its four-day run in Ocean City — its first beachfront venue.

That record was broken this year as approximately 93,000 spectators came out to the beach in downtown Ocean City for the Dew Tour Pantech Beach Championships, held Aug. 16-19.

“We would like to thank the mayor, City Council and city staff.

Without their help and support, the event would not have run as smoothly as it did,” said Chris Prybylo, vice president of events for Alli Sports, the company that produces the Dew Tour. “We are very pleased with how everything went this year in Ocean City, and consider it to be

a big success. From the record crowds to the vibe on the beach and Boardwalk we couldn’t be more pleased with the support from the community.”

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan said the Pantech Beach Championships went “absolutely terrific.”

Meehan attended several competitions and presented awards to the Skate Bowl Legends winners.

“It was bigger and better than last year. I spent quite a bit of time there and everybody I saw was having a good time,” he said. “People had more opportunity to get into the venue because it was free this year and the athletes were accessible and interactive with the public, which makes it a great family experience.

All in all, it was a terrific event for Ocean City. I think the Dew Tour and Ocean City are a perfect fit. I look forward to the Dew Tour returning.”

Berlin defunds fire company; fire company defends itself STEWART DOBSON ■ Editor (Aug. 24, 2012) The Berlin Fire Company responded Thursday to charges that it has been uncooperative with town officials, as the waves of a months-long conflict over alleged harassment in the workplace by fire company members crested this week.

The row, which had been simmering since February when a fire company employee complained to town offi“We gave them a cials that he was being unmercifully straightforward taunted, broke into heads up that the public view Tuesday with the town’s they need to take declaration that it responsibility for would cease funding their actions.” the fire company immediately.

BERLIN MAYOR The official stateGEE WILLIAMS ment, released by about the Town Council’s Mayor Gee Williams decision to cease funding to with the council’s the Berlin Fire Company backing, stated their decision to withdraw the town’s financial support — $560,000 this fiscal year, 29 percent of the company’s budget — is because of the company’s refusal to abide by town government’s personnel policies that would otherwise cover the paid emergency medical services employees.

“Over the past six months, the Mayor and Council have done all that we can within our legal and moral authority to protect the rights of the paid EMS personnel who have been working as leased employees under the terms of an agreement enacted Jan. 1, 2009,” Williams said in his statement.

“The Fire Company has been unsuccessful in its attempts to prevent some volunteer members from harassing Berlin’s paid EMS employees in the workplace that the Town firmly believes is both unacceptable and illegal.”

The 2009 agreement to which Williams referred allowed the fire company’s paid EMS personnel to become “leased” employees of the town, thus making them eligible under Internal Revenue Service standards for state government health and retirement benefits.

But with that agreement, Williams’ statement continued, the town had to assume conSee TOWN on Page 24

City won’tbe able to backpedal on nixing St. Louis Ave. utilities ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) Much like an ill-fated trade of lunches in a grade-school cafeteria, Ocean City may have to learn the hard way about the “no backsies” policy in regards to the city’s upcoming renovation of St. Louis Avenue.

Despite the initial appeal of trading in the soggy, steamed asparagus of expensive infrastructure upgrades for the chocolate cupcake of cost savings, it seems that City Council may wish to now swing the opposite way in light of other recent discussions lauding the benefits of underground utilities.

When the time came at Monday’s meeting to approve the city’s solicitation of bids from contractors for the first phase of the upcoming work, the council indicted that it might be willing to consider adding the installation of below-ground electrical and communications lines back into the project.

“But if we consider this, it’s going to cost more money and will delay the project?” queried Councilwoman Margaret Pillas.

“Well, the pre-bid meeting is tomorrow,” said city Public Works Director Hal Adkins.

A renovation of St. Louis has been in the works for several years, although the initial plans for the project were considerably more grandiose. With the goal of setting the avenue up to expand as a residential neighborhood and commuter

thoroughfare, City Engineer Terry McGean’s initial layout for the street featured underground utility wires and cables to eliminate the use of telephone poles. The initial approach also included widened sidewalks and bicycle lanes, and a traffic circle at the First Street intersection to eliminate snarls caused by the dogleg in the street.

But due to budgetary constraints, the project has been continually scaled down, something, which McGean previously described as a “permanent compromise solution.”

“The underground utilities are not included,” Adkins said Monday. “The value of that infrastructure, even as a skeleton, is in the millions. With all due respect, this was brought up in March and you discussed it, then the bond issuance came up in May and you discussed it then as well.

I don’t know how else to put it, but the horse is out of the barn and down the road a good distance.”

Previously, council had weighed – and ultimately denied – a request by Delmarva Power for a substation expansion in the uptown Caine Woods neighborhood, in which residents were concerned about the future infrastructure impact on their community. One of the things that was continually mentioned was underground power lines, specifically the fact that they would present less of an electromagnetic field hazard than overhead lines do.

“This corridor is a main corridor through the town and it’ll be a long time

before we can do this again,” lamented Councilman Joe Hall, who cited the roughly 20-year interval between major street excavations. “I know they’re different [Caine Woods and St. Louis Avenue], since these aren’t distribution lines, they’re transmission lines and that’s a different animal, but the positive impact to the community [is the same].”

“The value is there,” Hall continued.

“I’ll keep trying to put that horse back in the barn.”

Adkins later noted that, while he appreciated the council’s consideration for the project, adding the utility improvements back into the project presented a logistical nightmare. When he had supervised a similar overhaul of Baltimore Avenue in the 1990s, Adkins said that getting the city’s service providers – Delmarva Power, as well as Comcast and Verizon – to agree on any kind of proposal took nearly a year.

And at that time, Adkins was working with a much more flexible time frame as

well, given that the city was not working with contractors but was doing all of the actual construction and demolition using its own staff. Ocean City used to maintain a much more robust internal building capacity before the staffing cuts of recent years, and the municipal building boom of the 1990s often earned the Public Works department the facetious nickname, “The Mr. Adkins Construction Company.”

In the current case, Adkins said he would need to have construction begin by October so that “we could be up and running again by April or May.” Adding to the St. Louis Avenue project would also present debt difficulties for the city, given that it has borrowed money for the project against the bond market.

When asked if the loans provided the financial wiggle room to add on to the project, Adkins said he “couldn’t speak on Martha’s [city Finance Administrator Martha Bennett] behalf, but my guess would be no.”

Route 50 bridge work set for Aug. 29 (Aug. 24, 2012) The State Highway Administration will be performing routine maintenance work on the Route 50 (Harry W. Kelley Memorial) Bridge over the Sinepuxent Bay in Ocean City on Wednesday, Aug. 29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., weather permitting. Crews will open the bridge periodically for test openings

that should last no longer than those needed for an average vessel’s passage.

If inclement weather prevents the maintenance work as originally scheduled, crews will perform the work the next day, Thursday, Aug. 30, during the same hours. SHA will use message signs, cones and barrels to guide traffic through the work zone.

City Council remands substation expansion for more answers Concerns over EMF levels stall Delmarva Power’s project near 137th Street ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) In a somewhat lessthan-common role reversal, the City Council seemed to take the tone and attitude of fighting back “against the man” Monday night in remanding for further investigation a request for expansion by Ocean City’s electricity provider, Delmarva Power, a subsidiary company of the Pepco energy conglomerate.

Last week, DP&L representatives appeared before the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission to appeal for a conditional use of their property that encompasses the block between 137th and 138th

Streets and Derrickson and Sinepuxent Avenues.

Half the property has contained a power substation since 1974 and since then Delmarva Power bought and demolished the four homes on the other half of the block to make way for an expansion of the station.

DP&L public affairs head Jim Smith previously had explained that the expansion was needed to install a Static Var Compensator at the facility.

“In layman’s terms, it’s a booster pump,” he said, noting that the city’s power comes entirely from plants far to the north and flows down through Delaware. Delmarva Power has no lines running across the bay bridge to the north or at the Chesapeake’s southern end at the bay bridge-tunnel between Virginia’s Eastern Shore and Virginia Beach.

Because the transmission is so long and because Ocean City’s population fluc-

tuates rapidly, the grid is often unable compensate quickly enough, resulting in voltage drops and spikes. The SVC would compensate for that, Smith said.

The attitude taken by the P&Z Commission last week, as well as by the council on Monday, was that the compensator was clearly an essential improvement.

The sticking point, however, was the extent to which DP&L had considered the impact to the surrounding community and the extent to which it had been clear and forthright in its findings.

But whereas P&Z had found that the company’s plans were good enough for preliminary approval, the council was more stringent and ultimately voted unanimously to send the application back to P&Z for further investigation into a number of questions that council found had not been put to rest.

The city’s say in how DP&L uses its land comes from the fact that utility dis-

tribution facilities are considered “conditional uses” in “2a” residential zoning areas, the designation that applies to that area. Conditional uses are ones that are permitted in a given zone, but must be specifically approved by the city before they can be implemented, as they may have an undue impact on the intended function of the district.

“What you have to find is that the burdens of this use are more severe at this particular location than would be at other locations that have the same zoning,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres. Proving that this location is particularly detrimental is the responsibility of the council, Ayres reminded them. Conversely, DP&L is not responsible for going to every similar location in the city and determining the one of least impact.

“But this [the 137th Street location] has more population than other areas that See EFFECT on Page 6

City to have expert recommend solution for Rivendell lighting Contractor will work with Ocean City engineering staff to alleviate issue ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) Although not yet gone entirely, the dispute over the brightness of the lights at the Rivendell condominiums on 81st Street may be nearing a close, as the City Council approved hiring a lighting contractor to work with city engineering staff in proposing a solution for the surrounding neighborhood.

Since it was built nearly five years ago, Rivendell has been the source of considerable controversy. Soon after construction was complete, the city learned that the seven-story edifice was four feet higher than what was allowed under the zoning code.

Although a variance was subsequently given, the building was put in the public eye again two years ago when residents of the Bay Princess building, a smaller structure which borders Rivendell to the north across 81st Street, began to complain that Rivendell’s exterior lights were brighter than was reasonable and disturbed their condos.

At Monday’s meeting, Bay Princess

unit owner and condo association representative Andy Anders requested the city to “re-explore the lighting situation” after the passage last year of a city ordinance codifying the Planning and Zoning Department’s normative standards for illumination.

“We now know that they [Rivendell’s builders] did not subscribe to the controlled and directed lighting ordinance,” Anders said.

However, the building is no longer under the control of its developers since the implementation of a condo association.

“There’s a new board and we’re working together with very good communication,” Anders said. “This is a horrific example of what can happen and I’m asking you to step up and chair a potential solution,” Anders continued, recommending that the city recruit a lighting expert to suggest solutions for the neighborhood, and possibly even fund the retrofitting of any light-mitigating devices.

Anders said he and city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith had experimented with shielding the lights using improvised devices, something that needed to be investigated further in a more professional manner.

“We’d like to be able to present some real options. It’s never been explored, al-

Residents of the adjacent Bay Princess building say that the external lighting of the Rivendell condominiums is unreasonably bright. A multi-year dispute between the buildings may soon be resolved, as the city as approved a request by Bay Princess unit owners to allow city staff to work with a lighting contractor to recommend solutions for the neighborhood.

Effect of EMF levels on health has never been conclusively proven Continued from Page 4

have the same P&Z restrictions, such as the 100th Street station or even some place in Delaware,” said Councilwoman Mary Knight, alluding to the fact that 137th Street is in the Caine Woods neighborhood, which contains a large number of permanent residents.

The compensator could be built at other substations on the island, such as 100th Street or across the bay, but DP&L had determined that these would be less efficient and cost-effective.

“If you find that there’s been a change in the neighborhood, that the buildup of the area has been single-family homes since it was zoned in 1974, that could be a basis for you to say that expansion at this location would be more detrimental than other locations in town,” Ayres added.

Knight, along with fellow Councilwoman Margaret Pillas, initially moved for an outright denial of DP&L’s request, which would mean the company would have to wait one year to re-apply.

“The denial gives DP&L another year to figure this out. Why can’t we get it more into a commercial area, as well as some of the other suggestions that were made?”

Pillas asked.

Knight said she “noted three major concerns” that had come out of last week’s

P&Z meeting, “one, which was public safety, namely the exposure of the residents to EMF, two, the noise, and three, the effect of the substation on property values. They were not addressed to the satisfaction of the neighborhood,” Knight said.

Knight noted specifically that the testimony of resident Bruce Davis that he “feels like I’m living on the edge of an industrial zone” was never responded to.

“DP&L just arbitrarily bought property in the area,” Knight said. “Maybe they need to show some other power companies that have done this in the past where it has not affected property value.”

But EMFs — electromagnetic fields, generated by high-voltage electrical conduction — created the most discussion during the previous P&Z hearing. The effect of EMF levels on human health has never been conclusively proven, but experts say that this may be because an effective long-term test of EMF exposure would be impossible to facilitate.

Several Caine Woods residents, particularly former Councilman Vince Gisriel, had voiced concerns that DP&L was spending more effort trying to lobby for the harmlessness of EMF levels than actually looking into the substation’s potential EMF production in detail.

“They didn’t address the EMF of the

additional overhead lines going in there,” Knight said. “And they never said what percent is ‘peak’ and what percent is ‘offpeak’ in the data.”

Councilman Doug Cymek said he had been in contact with a company called EMF Services, which specializes in mitigating EMF interference. “They have all types of equipment to mitigate the field and shield it. We’re all focused on what’s happening on the ground with the SVC, but the real issue is what’s up above us.

That’s where most of the EMF is coming from, from what they’re telling me,” Cymek said.

“You get more from the power lines themselves up on the poles than inside the compound where this stuff would sit,” agreed Council Secretary Lloyd Martin. “I think DP&L needs to look at putting lines underground.”

Knight and Pillas’ motion failed, however, because the rest of council was not comfortable with an outright denial, preferring instead of have the P&Z commissioners work on the issue.

“If we send it back to P&Z they can work through these details, otherwise it’s just going to come back a year from now,” Martin said.

“I’m not ready to deny it, because it is a necessity,” concurred Councilman Brent

Ashley. “But the issues have to be addressed further.”

Councilman Joe Hall then moved to remand the request back to P&Z, with certain issues to be addressed. He was reluctant, however, to include the notion that the SVC could be built at another site.

“I just don’t see them moving it,” Hall said. “I don’t want to put an unrealistic expectation out there on the public that this substation is going to go away.”

Hall’s motion passed unanimously.

Mayor Rick Meehan added that he would’ve been supportive of outright denial as well, had council chosen that route.

“We tried to send a message to DP&L last time they were here as well,” Meehan said. “I just want to say that I support the stance that was taken by Mary and Margaret, because I think it showed how big of an issue this really is.”

At Tuesday night’s P&Z meeting, the commission briefly discussed the council’s decision. “They didn’t say anything derogatory about how we went about it, there are just some things that went unanswered,” Commissioner Peck Miller said.

“They need to sell Caine Woods on it.”

Miller said the commission should push for a “crisper presentation” from DP&L with harder data about property values and EMF levels.

Benefit Saturday for uninsured OCBP guard ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) A benefit party and raffle for the Ocean City Beach Patrol and OCBP guard Chris McGervey – the victim of a recent auto accident – will be held Saturday at the Crabcake Factory USA on 120th Street, to coincide with this weekend’s Uptown Bikini Bash event.

McGervey - affectionChris McGervey ately nicknamed ‘Gravy’ by his colleagues – was injured on Aug. 4 as he rode his bicycle westbound in the eastbound shoulder of Route 54. Briefly after crossing the bridge that spans the channel leading to Lighthouse Cove, he collided with a MercedesBenz SUV. According to police reports, the SUV was traveling westbound as well, and attempted to make a left hand turn to head south on Madison Avenue. Not seeing McGervey, the driver turned into his path, and the two collided with McGervey striking the left front section of the vehicle.

McGervey suffered serious damage to his right knee and left shoulder, as well as a punctured right lung and a concussion that left him unconscious for some time.

“There’s a lot that I don’t remember,” McGervey said. “I actually know very little about the whole thing. I’m not really sure how I got hit. From the point of view

that I remember, there was nothing in front of me.”

McGervey was airlifted from the bridge, and spent three days in the intensive care unit at Christiana Medical Center in Wilmington. McGervey will be going into surgery today to repair his broken left collarbone, which he said has been the most difficult injury thus far.

Incidentally, McGervey was riding his bicycle home from his beach patrol duties, and was only a block away from his residence when the accident occurred.

This summer is his fifth with the OCBP. “I’ve never dealt with someone on the job who was as injured as I was,” McGervey said. “I don’t consider my job to be too dangerous, sometimes tense, but not dangerous. This bridge, however, is dangerous.”

The bridge is extremely narrow and lacks a substantial westbound shoulder, McGervey noted, causing pedestrians and bicyclists to use the eastbound. “It’s the last thing I was expecting, especially so close to home,” he said. “It’s not an area where you have to drive, you can still walk to a lot of things around here, so there are people on the road. It can be pretty intense, and I thought I was being careful.”

McGervey has no insurance of his own, and fears that the fact that he was technically traveling the wrong way on the road may be grounds for the insurance provider of the woman who was driving the SUV to limit his claim.

“It’s all still up in the air now,” McGervey said.

County after-school North-end staff rallies as school year gets under way Monday programs continue for few more months ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) After-school programs at five Worcester County public schools will be held for the first half of the school year, but their existence after that is uncertain.

The state Department of Education is not renewing two grants for those programs that totaled more than $637,000, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson told the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday.

Those grants supported programs and services to more than 900 students at Buckingham Elementary, Berlin Intermediate, Pocomoke Middle, Snow Hill Middle and Berlin Middle schools.

Wilson said county’s public schools are again ranked No. 1 in the state and those after-school programs are part of the reason for that success. In addition to helping students scholastically, the after-school programs supply a snack or a hot meal, a significant contribution to students, many of whom are from low-income households. They also provide a safe place for the students.

“We’re providing supervision for See PROGRAMS on Page 11

(Aug. 24, 2012) Maryland public schools begin opening next week, as more than 1 million students prepare to start the 20122013 school year.

All Maryland school systems will be in session before September for the second consecutive year. The first to open were Prince George’s County Public Schools, which welcomed students Aug. 20. The SEED School of Maryland, the statewide public residential school, was also scheduled to start that day.

Worcester County Public Schools, like schools in most Maryland counties, will open Monday, Aug. 27. By the time all schools have opened their doors on Aug. 27, more than 850,000 students in grades kindergarten through 12 will fill classrooms and another 250,000 children will be involved in some form of pre-kindergarten, Head Start or a licensed childcare program.

The county’s private schools — Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School near Ocean Pines, Seaside Christian Academy in West Ocean City and Worcester Preparatory School in Berlin — will open Aug. 27, Sept. 4 and Sept. 5, respectively.

Maryland’s highly regarded public school system, ranked first in the nation for the fourth consecutive year by the leading education newspaper, is continuing to move forward under the direction of new state Superintendent Lillian M. Lowery. The state’s system is entering the

third year of its $250 million Race to the Top program, which is remaking Maryland classrooms by strengthening educational standards, building a new technology infrastructure, improving teacher and principal preparation and evaluation and providing support to lowperforming schools.

“Our state is committed to supporting innovative education programs for all schools, making absolutely certain there are improved classrooms in every neighborhood,” Lowery said. “We are working to strengthen instruction and boost rigor for our students. Maryland schools are looking forward to another safe, productive, and exciting year.”

On Wednesday, Worcester County school officials gave introductory remarks to assembled teachers at each of the county’s high schools in Berlin, Snow Hill and Pocomoke. New Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson, who was appointed earlier this summer following the retirement of Worcester’s long-time school head Dr. Jon Andes, praised his staff’s resolve.

“We have a tremendous staff…people rave about you in the community,” Wilson said during his remarks at Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin. “That’s why we have the level of results we have. But it’s still ongoing work.”

Enrollment in Maryland public schools has been on a steady rise for the past three years. After reaching a high point of 869,113 students in 2004, enrollment fell to 843,861 by 2009. Since then it has rebounded, reaching 854,086 students last

school year — the state’s highest enrollment level since 2007.

In Worcester County, the public school population is 6,693 students. Of these, Superintendent for Instruction Dr. John Gaddis noted, 4,371 are part of the northend zone that funnels students to Stephen Decatur High School.

Gaddis also addressed the widespread concern amongst teachers that new state and federal mandates regarding student and teacher evaluations will make fair assessments more difficult.

“The success of this county will continue because of our staff, regardless of the assessment method or current educational initiative,” Gaddis reassured the assembly at Stephen Decatur.

Worcester County Teachers’ Association President Helen Schoffstall also spoke on the topic, specifically the individualized objective system that she and Gaddis have helped develop in order to comply with new state standards while still maintaining teacher confidence.

“You’re going to be working with your principals to develop these evaluation goals... this is not a ‘gotcha’ like I feel it has been elsewhere,” Schoffstall said.

The state’s student population also has experienced major changes over the past decade. Maryland has been a majorityminority state for several years. White students represent 42 percent of the student population, followed by AfricanAmerican students, who make up nearly 35 percent of the student population.

though we were pretty close using a cardboard box and a trashcan lid,” Anders said.

“I’ve been up there and it is like a boat,” said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas, presumably referring to Council President Jim Hall’s comment some years ago that Rivendell’s lights looked like a cruise ship docking on the bay. “This ball somehow got dropped a long time ago.”

Pillas told Anders that she was fine with the city helping to “define a product that would work for Rivendell and for yourselves … as long as it doesn’t create a liability for the taxpayer.”

Pillas’ financial concerns were generally echoed on council – city staff could

seek out and work with a lighting expert, but the city could not guarantee that it would shoulder any outside costs.

“As far as taking the taxpayers’ money to resolve this, I just can’t go there,” said Councilman Doug Cymek.

Anders also implied that the city had preferred to move the issue through civil channels rather than municipal ones to avoid implicating itself.

“I have a feeling that is why it was kept from the BZA [Board of Zoning Appeals] … it was approved negligently, and you would probably be liable,” he said.

“When you got into the conspiracy theory, you lost me. I think we need to get beyond the conspiracy, which I don’t agree with,” retorted Mayor Rick Meehan.

The council ultimately voted 5-2 to support an outside recommendation, with Councilmen Joe Hall and Brent Ashley objecting to any civic involvement in what they saw as a private dispute.

“Quite frankly, if there’s a solution, I don’t think putting forward city staff is the answer. The answer is going to come from the board of Rivendell,” Joe Hall said.

“But they don’t know what to do,” said President Hall, noting that light mitigation was out of everyone’s expertise and that the Rivendell board needed answers that the city was unable to provide.

“The answer is money,” Joe Hall countered. “As the mayor already said, this is private property. If they want to fix it, they will.”

WorcesterCounty publicschool students to hit the hallsMonday Continued from Page 8

Both the white and African-American student populations have been in decline in recent years. Hispanic students represent 12 percent of the student body, while Asian students account for nearly 6 percent. Both percentages are on the rise.

Also increasing is the percentage of students identifying themselves as two or more races. This accounts for nearly 4 percent of Maryland students.

In Worcester County, 71 percent of the student population is white, while 22.84 percent of the students are African-American. The remaining 3.78, 1.81 and .57 percent of students are Hispanic, Asian and American-Indian/Alaskan, respectively.

Worcester’s schools are consistently at the top of the state’s rankings in terms of the proportion of students who demonstrate adequate proficiency on the Maryland State Assessment test. Wilson also noted that Worcester has been successful not only in bringing up low-performing students to an acceptable level, but also in ensuring that high-level students can go above and beyond. He revealed that 59 percent of the Advanced Placement tests given in Worcester’s high schools resulted in a qualifying score of a ‘3’ or higher – more than twice the state average.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/ZACK HOOPES

Former Stephen Decatur High School Principal Lou Taylor addresses north-end school staff Wednesday as Worcester’s assistant superintendent for administration.

Also increasing in the state’s schools is the percentage of students coming from circumstances of poverty. Last year, 43 percent of Maryland students were eligible for free- or reduced-price meals, the federal proxy for poverty. Ten years earlier, that tally stood at 29.7 percent — nearly a 50 percent increase over the decade.

In Worcester, 39 percent students live in households at or below poverty and are eligible for Free and Reduced Meals.

students who might not have it at home or in the community,” Wilson said.

Because of the need for funds to operate after-school programs, Wilson asked the commissioners for financial assistance. The commissioners approved his request for a budget transfer. The Board of Education will transfer $270,055 from the categories of maintenance of plant and textbooks and classroom supplies to the categories of instructional support services, instructional salaries, student transportation and fixed charges.

Commissioners Merrill Lockfaw and Madison Bunting voted against the budget transfer. Bunting said he believed the funds were needed for textbooks and supplies.

Earlier, the Board of Education had allocated $63,000 by implementing budget reductions.

Together, those funds will allow the after-school programs to continue for half of the school year. After that, Wilson said, he “could be back again.”

Commissioner Louise Gulyas said the county did not have any money to contribute. She told Wilson that staff should run the programs instead of having paid coordinators. She also suggested that vice principals run the programs.

Commissioner Virgil Shockley said he hoped the Board of Education could get more grants for the programs and Wilson said they had expected to get the grants.

“Our budget relied on grant funding,” Wilson said.

Miller working toward ‘midtown Boardwalk’ ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) If you want it done right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself.

This was the attitude taken by city Planning and Zoning Commissioner and local realtor Peck Miller, who moved to the other side of the podium during Tuesday night’s P&Z meeting to present the commission with his own project — a redevelopment that Miller said could serve as an example for improving any number of the city’s abandoned lots or out-dated commercial structures.

“The town needs to show people, whether through me or otherwise, that this sort of thing can be done and can work,” Miller said.

The project, which was met with unanimous approval from the rest of the commission, will involve a multi-building, mixeduse complex on the west side of Coastal Highway between 67th and 68th streets that can accommodate retail, restaurant, and office space tenants.

The signature element of the project, Miller said, is that it will feature an extensive wooden deck running across the front of the complex and between its separate buildings, creating a public space akin to the Boardwalk that will keep the area from simply being a tourist funnel for the downtown area.

“Making a midtown Boardwalk is what I’m trying to do here,” Miller said.

Miller is doing the project alongside architect Jeff Schoellkopf, whose family owns the Old Pro mini golf chain and has been using the vacant space between 67th and 68th Streets as parking for the Old Pro course between 68th and 69th. The new building will have an extensive parking lot, allowing Old Pro to continue to rent a portion of the spaces.

Miller noted that the building qualifies for a 20 percent parking space reduction credit, given its low density. Although the structure does not need the allowance to be up to code, Miller noted that it could be a boon later if another structure was built to share the complex’s parking. The possibility of putting in a hotel on the west

Casino at Ocean Downs grant funds being spent NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) During a review of the Casino at Ocean Downs impact grant funds, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan said the recipients were following their original plans.

“They’re certainly supporting these programs as presented,” said Meehan, chairman of the Local Development Council, during Monday’s meeting of that group in Snow Hill.

The council was mandated by the Maryland General Assembly to oversee the impact grant funds, which are given to Worcester County, Ocean City, Berlin and Ocean Pines.

During the council’s June meeting, members decided to ask those entities getting grant funds to tell the council how those funds are being used. Each responded with a letter.

The town of Berlin has received $309, 000 in revenues since the opening of the casino and has spent $250,000. The money was spent to buy land for a future community center and police station. After the land purchase is paid off, the town plans to continue using revenues from the impact funds for the construction of those buildings.

The town of Ocean City has received $657,850 in impact grant funds since the casino opened. That money was used for street repair and replacement.

Worcester County received $1.97 million and spent $202,050. Those funds were used to purchase eight public safety vehicles. It is expected that future impact funds will be used to retire debt on the Worcester Technical High School.

The Ocean Pines Association received $356,538 in grant funds and has not spent any. In his letter to the Local Development Council, Ocean Pines Association General Manager Bob Thompson wrote that the funds would be used “for overdue road maintenance this fall.”

The Local Development Council’s next meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 12, at the Government Office Center in Snow Hill.

Motor scooters and mopeds must be titled by the Motor Vehicle Administration.

Owners will be able to obtain titling information through the MVA website at www.mva.maryland.gov beginning Oct. 1.

When the title is obtained, the vehicle owner will be provided with a decal that must be displayed on the rear of the vehicle.

(Aug. 14, 2012) A business plan will be developed for the Casino at Ocean Downs to take advantage of its new privilege to have entertainment, which was one part of the bill passed by the Maryland General Assembly during its special session convened

by Gov. Martin O’Malley last week.

Joe Cavilla, general manager of the Casino at Ocean Downs, said he and others would “sort through the bill” and devise a plan.

“We want to grow the business and create jobs,” Cavilla said Tuesday during a meeting in Snow Hill of the Local Development Council, the group mandated to oversee the use of impact funds from casino revenue.

Cavilla is a council member.

Although the bill permits entertainment at Ocean Downs, the sort or size of entertainment would be regulated by the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners, which is responsible for the issuance of alcoholic beverage licenses in the county.

“They’ll be treated just like anybody else,” County Attorney Sonny Bloxom said.

Law alert issued for motor scooter, moped riders (Aug. 24, 2012) Maryland State Police and local law enforcement are reminding the owners and riders of motor scooters and mopeds that a new law taking effect in less than two months will make significant changes in the use of those forms of transportation.

On Oct. 1, 2012, new Maryland vehicle laws will require all motor scooters and mopeds to be titled and insured, while all operators and passengers must wear a helmet and eye protection. These new requirements are in addition to the existing law that requires all motor scooter and

Casino GM wants to ‘grow the business and create jobs’ Continued from Page 14

To learn what types of entertainment would be permitted at the Casino at Ocean Downs, the council will invite Thomas Coates, attorney for the Board of License Commissioners, to attend its next meeting on Nov. 12.

The legislation legalizing slot machines at five casinos permitted the Casino at Ocean Downs to have a single piano played by one person. It also permitted fireworks displays to be conducted on the property. That legislation also specified that the Casino at Ocean Downs could not offer the “playing of live music, floor shows, dancing, dancing exhibitions, performances or any other form of live entertainment in or near the video lottery facility.” That section was deleted in the bill passed last week, thus permitting entertainment.

The prohibition against the building or operation “of a conference center or convention center, amusement park, amusement rides, arcade or miniature golf course on or within 10 miles of the property” remains in effect.

Delegate Mike McDermott, a council member, said he had been reluctant for the special session to take place, but the bill “is going to be great for Worcester County specifically.”

The bill helps the casino owners because it gives them the right to own or lease the slot machines and because it decreases their tax liability. It also lets them keep more of the profits.

The bill also mandates that Worcester, Cecil and Allegany counties will each get an immediate $200,000 grant and after Baltimore gets a casino opened, it will no longer get a cut off the top of Worcester’s allocation.

The Casino at Ocean Downs could be open non-stop. Gamblers could play the slot machines 24 hours a day if the casino lengthens its hours.

“We would have the option,” Cavilla said.

The biggest change to casino operations would be the addition of table games, which would increase revenue for the casinos and in Worcester, for Ocean City, Berlin, Ocean Pines and the county, which all get a cut of the impact funds based on the revenue.

According to the Workgroup to Consider Gaming Expansion, the addition of table games would have an estimated annual fiscal impact of $51 million and would create 1,900 to 2,300 new permanent jobs.

The addition of table games and a sixth casino, to be built in Prince George’s County, will be decided in a referendum in November. That sixth casino would have up to 3,000 slot machines.

“Hopefully, it’ll get ratified in November,” said Sen. Jim Mathias, a member of the Local Development Council. “The voters will make the final decision. I think the referendum will pass.

The citizens, the state and the county will benefit if the referendum passes,” Mathias said.

A business plan will be devised to prepare for entertainment at the Casino at Ocean Downs.

Franchot talks tax-free shopping NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/NANCY POWELL

Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot discusses his pleasure at the success of the tax-free shopping last week and his displeasure with the governor’s special session on gambling at the Tanger Outlets on Thursday, Aug. 16.

PUB OPEN 11AM DINING ROOM 4PM

(Aug. 24, 2012) Comptroller Peter Franchot lauded the state’s tax-free week during his visit to the Tanger Outlets in West Ocean City last Thursday, but he blasted Gov. Martin O’Malley special session on the gambling issue.

The first few days of the tax-free week, which ran from Sunday, Aug. 12 through Saturday, Aug. 18, were “a huge success,” said Franchot, who was in Ocean City for the Maryland Association of Counties annual summer conference.

During the state’s shopping promotion, qualifying clothing and shoes priced at $100 or less were exempt from the state’s 6 percent sales tax.

Franchot said retailers loved the extra sales and he had been “particularly happy to see Delaware shoppers” in Maryland.

Some shoppers liked the special savings so much that they began inquiring about it earlier in the year.

“We’ve been getting calls for six months asking when it is,” he said.

The tax-free week occurs the second Sunday of August to the following Saturday each year, unless and until the legislature decides to revisit the issue.

The savings are the result of legislation passed during the 2007 special session of the Maryland General Assembly.

While Franchot saw all good things on that front, he was less than complimentary about O’Malley’s special session on gam-

bling issues, notably the sixth casino and the addition of table games at the existing casinos.

That session, he said, “was an exercise I had a lot of trouble watching. It was painful to watch.”

The legislators, he said, voted to pass a tax package giving the gambling industry up to 25 percent tax cuts while telling others that they will raise their taxes.

“It’s just damn unfair,” Franchot said.

“It’s a damn disgrace.”

Casino moguls “have their tentacles in Annapolis,” he said. “It makes me feel bad for the state to see the governor and the moguls in a back room making deals for companies that don’t need it.”

Franchot also said the special session gave the Casino at Ocean Downs “the right to have amusement rides and entertainment,” but he was mistaken. It gave the casino the right to have entertainment, but not to have amusement rides.

On Monday, Franchot’s media office said he did not say the legislation allows the casino to have amusement rides, but later amended their response and said he meant to say “entertainment.”

Not only did Franchot say the casino could have amusement rides, he said it would be “competing with the Boardwalk with all four feet” and that there is “a real competitive threat now with the Boardwalk.”

His media office then said that Franchot was comparing gambling with all forms of entertainment, including amusement rides.

Scooter, moped drivers to follow same rules as bikes Continued from Page 14

through chassis; has a motor with a rating of 2.7 brake horsepower or less, or a 50 cc engine or less; and is equipped with an automatic transmission.

A moped is defined as a bicycle that is designed to be operated by human power with the assistance of a motor; is equipped with pedals that can drive the rear wheel(s); has two or three wheels, one of which is more than 14 inches in diameter; has a motor with a rating of 1.5 brake horsepower or less and a 50 cc engine or less.

The drivers of motor scooters and mopeds are required to follow the same rules of the road as bicycles. Those rules include: n Drivers must ride as near to the right

side of the roadway as practical and safe as possible, except when: n Making a left turn; n Operating on a one-way street; n Passing a stopped or slower moving vehicle; n Avoiding pedestrians and road hazards; n The right lane is a right turn only lane; n Operating in a lane too narrow for a bicycle or motor scooter and another vehicle to travel safely side by side. n Drivers may ride side by side only if flow of traffic is unimpeded; n Drivers must exercise due care when passing; n Headsets covering both ears, or earplugs in both ears, are not permitted;

n Scooters or mopeds may not be operated on roadways with speed limits greater than 50 miles per hour; n Scooters or mopeds may not be operated at more than 30 miles per hour; n Drivers may not operate on a roadway where there is a smooth paved bike lane or paved shoulder available, meaning they must use the bike lane or paved shoulder instead of the roadway; n Drivers must obey the rules of the road applicable to all vehicles.

Troopers and local law enforcement across Maryland have received training regarding the new laws. Scooter and moped drivers who violate the new law can expect to be stopped and issued traffic citations or warnings, beginning Oct.1.

National Park Service to celebrate 96th anniversary (Aug. 24, 2012) The National Park Service will turn 96 on Aug. 25 and would like the public to help it celebrate. Those interested in having some family fun on bicycles should make their way to the Assateague Island Visitor Center on Route 611 for the Assateague Island National Seashore Family Bike Adventure. Arrive at 10 a.m. for bike decorating with a ranger, and a Bike “Roadeo” with volunteers from the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA), Eastern Shore. At 11:30 a.m. meet at the visitor center parking lot for an 8mile group bike ride led by IMBA riders

and National Seashore rangers. The ride will take visitors into the national seashore and back again. There is no charge for these activities. Bike helmets are recommended and children 16 and younger are required to wear a helmet by Maryland state law.

The Bike “Roadeo” is a friendly and fun approach to cycling safety, which takes place on a chalk course that simulates roads, intersections, stop signs and potential hazards. IMBA volunteers will provide safety tips and explain rules of the road to participants. All are welcome from tiny tricycles to sleek road bikes.

The day’s events will also include an aquarium talk, clamming and crabbing demonstrations and a puppet show.

Call the visitor center at 410-641-1441 for information on times and locations.

There are no entrance fees for visitors coming into the national seashore on bicycles. The fee for those driving into the park is $15 for a seven-day pass. Many activities take place at the Assateague Island Visitor Center where no fee is charged.

Baltimore native Bucky Lasek films a cheering crowd as he accepts his second-place award following the Skate Vert finals on Saturday.

AUGUST 24, 2012

Each Dew Tour event free, open to public tity,” Prybylo said last week.

Events that took place in Ocean City included the GoDaddy Surf Expression Session, Skate Vert and Skate Bowl contests, which were showcased last year. A Skate Mega 2.0 competition and Skate Bowl Legends event, were new to the line-up.

BMX Park and Vert contests were featured again this year in the resort along with the new BMX Mega 2.0 and Dew Tour’s firstever Flatland demonstration, where four athletes were chosen to show off their skills.

Also, nine musical acts were featured throughout three days, Aug. 16-18.

“The beach in Ocean City was the perfect venue for the Dew Tour’s largest music line-up, providing a fun and inviting atmosphere for the fans,” Prybylo said.

“The concerts on Friday and Saturday evening were well attended and two of the largest in Dew Tour history, adding another layer to the vibe on the beach in Ocean City.”

The festival village, dubbed the “Dew Tour Experience” this year, was expanded to include more sponsor booths, autograph signings and activities to reflect a true experience of the action sports lifestyle and culture.

This year, admission was free for all competitions and concerts.

Continued from Page 1

In April, Alli Sports, a division of the NBC Sports Group, announced a four-year renewal of its partnership with Mountain Dew, along with the 2012 Dew Tour schedule — Ocean City was stop No. 1. The Ocean City Council in January set aside Aug. 16-19, for the East Coast leg of the 2012 Dew Tour, as requested by the tour’s planners.

On Aug. 6, workers began building a vertical ramp, Mega 2.0 ramp, skateboard bowl and a BMX park, on the beach, just north of the pier in downtown Ocean City.

The crews completed the blockswide “Dew Tour Experience” just in time for Day 1 of the four-day Pantech Beach Championships on Aug. 16.

The tour, now in its eighth year, was reshaped this year to showcase action sports in three largescale, premium and “grand-slam” style events. The 2012 Dew Tour locations are Ocean City, San Francisco, Oct. 18-21 (Toyota City Championships); and Breckenridge, Colo., (Mountain Championships), Dec. 13-16.

“Our beach, city and mountain theme provides a fresh and exciting direction for the sports to progress, and each of the three events will draw inspiration from the host city to create its own iden-

Before each competition, fans waited in line to get into the venue that particular contest was taking place in.

“We wanted to make the Dew Tour Pantech Beach Championships accessible to everyone,” Prybylo said.

A limited number of premium passes were available. Those tickets guaranteed fans a seat for that day’s competitions as well as Dew Tour swag and exclusive souvenirs.

According to the Demoflush statistics, which uses wastewater flows to estimate the city’s population, approximately 296,268 people were in town over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday average), an increase from 292,647 who visited the same weekend in 2011.

“I think the event was very exciting to watch. The athletes are just amazing and the venue on the beach looked great,” said Donna Abbott, Ocean City’s tourism and marketing director. “I saw many families enjoying the event and foot traffic on the Boardwalk and business throughout the town seemed to be bustling.”

Abbott presented awards to the winners of the Skateboard Vert and BMX Park contests. The town also gave a “local award” — a statue in the shape of a wave — to the top finishers in each competition.

Weekend was one of summer’s busiest at OC visitor center Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association said rooms were available early last week, but by Friday only a handful were still vacant. There are about 108 Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association lodging members (hotels, motels and some apartments) with approximately 9,200 rooms. Last Saturday, all member properties were sold out.

“It was probably the busiest weekend of the summer as far as walk-ins and everyone being filled up. We had the most walk-ins at the visitor center (inside the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street) than we had all summer. We helped 38 sets of people who came in without reservations,” Jones said. “We had a hard time finding rooms because everyone was sold out. It was a strong weekend for hotels and restaurants are reporting the same.”

The Dew Tour is broadcast live on NBC and NBC Sports Network and streamed live on dewtour.com. The Dew Tour Pantech Beach Championships was scheduled to be showcased across 11 broadcast hours on NBC and NBC Sports Network and an all-new digital platform with live streaming, exclusive behind the scenes and in-depth content on dewtour.com.

In 2011, Dew Tour Pantech Open broadcasts were made available in more than 200 million households in more than 50 countries.

“Certainly there is a positive impact on our economy with an event of this magnitude, but it also brings the town increased exposure with the national television coverage,” Abbott said last week. “Last year’s Dew Tour brought the town over 900 million impressions (number of views an ad can receive), which is tremendous in terms of promoting Ocean City.”

On Tuesday, Abbott said she had not yet received any data from Dew Tour organizers about this year’s broadcast integration and worldwide distribution.

“As far as the economic impact, I’m sure it was favorable with the added tourism and especially the TV exposure.

The exposure on NBC was tremendous,” she said. “If it’s anything like what we had last year, it will be significant.”

Jones watched a few competition broadcasts and said it was “cool to see our beach on national television.”

“We were so fortunate to get the Dew Tour,” she said. “They picked one beach, city and mountain location this year and we were the beach venue. That’s pretty sweet.”

The Tour got under way later this year because of the Olympics, which were broadcast on NBC. Earlier dates — June 20-23 — are being considered for the Dew Tour’s return to Ocean City in 2013.

“We are excited to continue the dialogue with the city about the possibility to return in 2013,” Prybylo said. “We are still working through the details, but we have formally held the 2013 dates with the city and hope to make a collective decision with the city officials in a timely manner.”

Berlin fire co. conflict needs quiet resolution Picking a side in the dispute between the Town of Berlin and the Berlin Fire Company would appear to be easy. The facts of the case seem obvious and clear.

As is generally the situation in most major disagreements, however, the situation is more complicated than that.

The public can only guess, for instance, as to the nature of the transgression that company members are alleged to have committed, because the town’s accusations employ the broad language of federal law in order to protect itself and the people involved. That’s both understandable and the prescribed course in these sorts of things.

But at the same time, the law encompasses so much in the area of illegal behavior in the workplace that the public might conclude that the company is guilty of the worst of it: racial discrimination and sexual harassment.

That isn’t the case. What occurred, according to numerous sources, was more about unrelenting taunting and, in some regards, bullying.

The fire company, meanwhile, contends that it addressed that particular problem months ago and did everything the town demanded of it, except for one: place all scheduling of EMS shifts in the hands of the town.

Again, the town wants to protect itself, but because the eight paid EMS employees are assisted and backed up by 38 volunteers whose personal schedules vary, the company says that’s just not practical.

As progressive as the town has become, the last thing it needs is to be labeled unsympathetic or worse in matters involving harassment in the workplace. No one can blame officials for wanting to guard the town’s rapidly rising image.

Still, the fire company also has its point when it says the effectiveness of its emergency response depends on knowing not just how to schedule paid employees, but how to do that while also considering the availability of the volunteers who assist them.

Rather than choosing sides in this unfortunate conflict, the best thing the public can do is to encourage both sides to sit down in a quiet room somewhere and work this thing out.

READERS’ FORUM

Strategic plan needed for town Editor, I was very pleased to hear that the mayor and council supported [City Manager] Mr. [David] Recor’s initiative of building a strategic plan for the town. Although this may sound pretty boring to most of us, it could be a huge step forward.

Ocean City, like most government entities (and many businesses), simply produces a one-year operating budget that sets targets for current revenues and expenses. A strategic plan looks into the future and goes beyond a single set of numbers. The plan will articulate who we are, what we do, what we want to be and, most importantly, how to get us there.

Some components of the plan will be very interesting and telling — the town’s vision/mission statement will articulate how our elected officials see us now and in the future. The analysis of our town’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats will crystallize their views. A competitive analysis will compare us to other similar towns, such as Virginia Beach.

Perhaps the most important element is the creation of a real marketing plan that supports this overall strategic plan and would be a key component of getting us where we want to be. The debate over renewing the MGH contract is not as relevant as establishing a marketing plan. Our current marketing seems to be an elementary advertising process that produces

ads to increase tourism. These ads certainly must have some impact, but there is no direct evidence to measure their effectiveness.

A marketing plan will take our goals of “what we want to be” and “who we want to attract” and build an advertising campaign to do so.

It will incorporate critical measurements to gauge its effectiveness.

Most importantly, it should gather much needed information and answers to questions like “Why do people choose to come to Ocean City,” “Why are people choosing to go elsewhere,” “How do visitors and potential residents view us versus our competition,” etc.

The building and execution of the plans will require the inclusion of all interested parties and it will be essential for the mayor and council to compromise and cooperate on critical visions and ideologies to reach the desired results.

Resent’s smokers being called ‘riff-raff’ Editor, I am so glad to see that someone was bold enough to speak out on the subject of smoking in Ocean City. All these derogatory comments are going way over the top.

Thank you, Mr. Shipley, for pointing out there is more contributing to the unhealthy air in OC than cigarette smoke. Enough already!

In Zack Hoopes’ story [in the] Aug. 10 [issue of Ocean City Today], he quoted outrageous accusations. How could he quote

someone that denigrates our city so badly?

Our families have been coming to the beach since the 1950s, and we have owned real estate through the years and own property now. I resent being called “riff-raff” because I smoke. You people who keep saying “Ocean City” has lost its family-friendly atmosphere need to get your nose out of the air and observe the groups of 20, 30 and 40 family members enjoying our beach as “tradition” year after year. Please direct your energy in more worthy endeavors and leave our “Ocean City” alone.

Daughter knows uncondtional love Editor, Over the past 24 years, I feel as though I have grown a lot. I have made mistakes, some larger than others, I have cried, I have won some, and lost some, been on track, and off track. But most of all I have learned a lot, and the greatest lesson I’ve learned thus far is from my parents — love.

Many of you may not know that I am adopted, which to me, means that my first lesson in love started even before I was born. To this day, my mother swears she woke up early on Nov. 27 with a feeling deep in her heart that her daughter had been born.

My second lesson in love was when I was in elementary school, my mother taught me that a Continued on Page 21

OPINION 21

READERS’ FORUM

By Stewart Dobson Amazingly enough, I officially, inexplicably and irreversibly departed the ranks of the middle-aged today, this being Friday, Aug. 24, 2012, and 65 years after I wiggled into the cold light on a late Sunday afternoon and thought, “You woke me up for this?”

This, as it would happen, was the realization that after nine months of total peace and quiet, feeding on demand and the complete absence of interpersonal issues, that ultimately I would be expected to make myself useful.

The womb, after all, is the ultimate recliner, a fact that would explain why every newborn who comes into this world does so crying, that and realizing that at some point in your life you will have to apply for a zoning permit.

The most notable thing about my entry into the world, as far as I can determine, is that it occurred in the unlikely community of Nassawadox, Va., a place that invariably elicits the question, “Where?” whenever the subject of place of birth arises.

I did not live in Nassawadox in those early years, as my parents believed it would be easier to spell Onancock, Va., (and ultimately Denton, Md.) on the various forms I would have to fill out after realizing my only hope, and theirs, I think, would be to join the military.

As for that, the only thing I learned in the service was if someone dares you to drink a concoction involving Lavoris mouthwash and Johnny Walker scotch, don’t do it.

There are many things now that I can advise younger people, and men in particular, to avoid doing, nearly all of them preceded by the words, “Hey, watch this!”

Other advice includes: do not force your car to backfire, assuming that today’s cars will even do it, unless you truly want to buy a new muffler; do not under any circumstances stick crayons in your nose (“Lookth, I’m colorfulth.”); and do not attempt to saw a beaten biscuit in half at the dinner table with a steak knife unless you have been provided with more than one napkin. Oh, and never pick up a 6-foot-long, somewhat agitated snake by the tail while you’re wearing flip-flops and say, “Hey, watch this!”

The aging process, as they say, is all about learning, which is the polite way of observing that there must be something positive about it, although it beats the hell out of us what it is.

I do know, however, the difference between physical age and mental age, especially as it applies to the male of the species. Women’s tastes and perspectives mature as they grow older, while men continue to believe, even in their later years, that they could still hit the curveball if they really wanted to, that getting back in shape would require only a couple of weeks at the most, and that a funny noise is and will continue to be the single most amusing thing on the planet.

Ah yes, 65 – the new 15.

woman could be strong and independent, and work to provide enough opportunities as possible to her child, yet still maintain that close mother daughter bond.

Thank you for defying the stereotype and the statistic, mom!

My next lesson in love was when I entered intermediate school, and continued through middle and high school. I had expressed an interest in taking up horseback riding lessons, so my father decided to close his office early every Wednesday to watch me ride. For nearly 11 years, I never once rode alone. I don’t know if you realized how much that meant to me, but I can guarantee that I will never miss a game or performance of my children’s someday.

My next lesson in love came in high school, when my parents taught me that it’s OK to be different, and that talents in the arts and humanities are just as impor-

tant as talents on the field, or in other academic subjects. College came with uncertainty, bad boyfriends, and that feeling of “I don’t know what I want to be, but everyone else does,” but my parents love showed me that it’s OK to not have life figured out by 18. Their love showed me what life is all about — that happiness is more important than money, taking your time to find your niche, and finding someone who loves you for all your quirks, unconditionally. Today, I have found my strength, my school, my degree and a boyfriend who treats me like my dad treats my mom.

Most of you may know my mother, Mary Knight, and my father, Frank Knight who stands by her every decision, but I hope reading this, you know how much more they mean to me, how much they have provided for me, taught me, and loved.

I owe my ability to love to my parents,

and their 28 years of unwavering, unconditional, crazy, funny, perfect for each other marriage! There aren’t two people who deserve each other more, mom and dad!

Love always, Frankie Knight

MGH is OC’s outsourced marketing department Editor, The premise of your Aug. 17 editorial, “Ad agency debate doesn’t make sense,” doesn’t make any sense. Your justification for conducting an agency review is based on the need for comparison shopping of media buys and costs. This is completely impossible in the real world. No advertising agency can negotiate media buys (TV, radio, online, etc.) without first being named the agency-of-record.

READERS’ FORUM Continued from Page 21

Most media, except print, is purely based on supply and demand for actual buys at the moment of negotiation.

While projections can be made, no one can tell you exactly what a media buy will cost in the future. The actual rates (and savings) achieved can only be based on actual buys placed for the client. An RFP process can only present an agency’s credentials and methodologies for developing an advertising plan and getting the best rates.

At MGH, we spend more than $350,000 per year on media research tools that ensure all our clients are receiving the best rates. But the real savings to Ocean City has been MGH’s functioning as an outsourced marketing department. Ten years ago, advertising was much simpler. Now, in addition to all the traditional media that was in place then, we have online advertising, search

Ocean City Today engine optimization, search engine marketing, social media management, e-mail marketing, Web site updates and maintenance, public relations, and on and on.

I have never worked with a client with an almost $5 million budget with only one full-time person managing the tourism budget. I totally agree that the town has every right to review agencies at any time. It’s just important to know what services in reality you are shopping for and how to evaluate the proposals.

Everyone at MGH loves working for Ocean City and I hope we can continue for many years to come.

Heartbroken as result of actions in Berlin Editor, It is with deep regret that I even have to comment on this matter. Having been a long-time member of the Berlin Fire

AUGUST 24, 2012

Company Auxiliary, serving as president and vice president and subsequently resigning, the past six months have not been easy for me. This situation has caused issues with my son as well as friends in the Berlin Fire Company.

Initially, the BFC asked the mayor and council if there was a way that the paid EMS staff could participate in state retirement benefits as well as town medical insurance. The town, historically, has always been very accommodating to the BFC and after inquiring with the state of Maryland and IRS, an agreement was drafted and presented to the BFC. This agreement was per the state of Maryland and IRS guidelines and was the only way benefits could be extended to the paid EMS staff. The EMS paid staff had to become “leased employees” of the town of Berlin. The town supervision was administrative only and the BFC provided operations supervision. At no time has the mayor and council interfered, supervised or tried to take control of the operations

of the BFC. As an elected representative for the town of Berlin, my first duty and obligation is to ensure that the residents and ratepayers not be exposed to any financial risk from what I believe are violations of federal and state law.

Furthermore, it has come to my attention that less than 50 percent of municipalities in Maryland provide any funding to their local volunteer fire companies.

There are only six other municipalities in the state that contribute more money to their fire companies: Annapolis, Cambridge, Cumberland, Hagerstown, Ocean City and Salisbury.

It is unfortunate and I am heartbroken over actions of a few BFC volunteers and paid EMS employees. I am confident though, that when all the facts are presented, the mayor and council will have the support of the residents and ratepayers in this decision.

Keep ocean, beaches trash-free; volunteer for Coastal Cleanup Fifty sites in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey to be cleaned in September LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 24, 2012) What do a BMX bike, a woman’s wig, a flag pole, a car bumper and a rain gutter have in common?

Those items, as well as plastic bottles, soda cans, food wrappers, fishing gear, thousands of cigarette butts and other items, were found on the beaches and coastal areas during last year’s Coastal Cleanup.

More than 2,700 volunteers collected approximately 31,000 pounds of trash during the 2011 effort, conducted at 61 locations in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey.

Dave Small, deputy secretary for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control, told members of the media and onlookers during the kickoff news conference for the 26th annual Coastal Cleanup campaign, Wednesday at the beach entrance on 146th Street in Ocean City, that “every year [the Cleanup] has gotten better in some way, shape or form...”

The Cleanup started with the beaches then moved to other more remote areas.

“We’ve made great strides,” he said.

“Unfortunately, there’s still trash to pick up.”

Matt Likovich, spokesman for Delmarva Power, the primary corporate sponsor of the Cleanup, has seen the project grow during the last 22 years since the company has been involved. “[Delaware Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control] was looking for a partner and we thought it was a worthwhile program to get involved with,” Likovich said.

Likovich believes the initiative is making strides. He said that the amount of trash has decreased because people are becoming more aware of how to dispose of it properly.

Unfortunately last year, more items were picked up than in 2010 (approximately 19,000 pounds) because storms and Hurricane Irene washed debris onto the beaches.

Fifty sites will be cleaned this year in Maryland (8), Delaware (40) and New

After the Cleanup, the annual Maryland Coast Day will take place on the state park grounds and will feature a variety of food, vendors, children’s activities and organizations with information about what visitors and residents can do to protect the coastal bays.

The regional events are part of International Coastal Cleanup, sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy, whose mission is to protect the world’s oceans. Trash collected will be itemized and the data received will be used to identify the source of debris and to focus on ways to reduce or eliminate waste.

Town officials cut fire company funding; company fires back Continued from Page 1

trol and authority over those employees to satisfy state requirements.

Consequently, when a paid employee earlier this year went to Town Administrator Tony Carson with a complaint about harassment, town officials investigated the allegations, considered them to be credible and demanded that they cease.

In addition, a March 13 memorandum from the town to the fire company called for disciplinary action against certain paid personnel, and said the incidents the town verified violated the federal Civil Rights Act. Town officials also urged the fire company to hire a supervisor who would report to Carson, to counsel its members on discriminatory acts and to attend a course on workplace discrimination.

Although the town has no control over volunteer workers, officials suggested that

any discriminatory actions by volunteers also stop to avoid any possible lawsuits directed toward the company.

“We gave them a straightforward heads up that they need to take responsibility for their actions,” Williams said.

But the fire company did not accept the memorandum until May, when the town informed the company it would not be allowed to request money in the upcoming budget unless it did.

A series of exchanges followed between the company and town officials. Williams said the company made some changes to its command structure, but the town also continued to receive complaints about harassment.

But just last Thursday, the fire company had a notice delivered to Town Hall declaring that it was taking back full control of the paid employees.

“Effective immediately, the Berlin Fire

Company will assume full control, direction and supervision over all emergency medical services (EMS) personnel,” the notice read. “The Company has been increasingly concerned about its ability to respond to emergencies. The Town of Berlin (Town) has attempted to enlarge its scope of direction and control over personnel matters in accordance with the Town’s personnel policies and manual, to operational matters relating to fire and emergency medical services. The Town has no authority, or expertise, to do so.

The Company’s attempts to work with the Town have been unsuccessful.”

The company goes on to argue that its decision to reassert its authority over all personnel matters is because of operational problems arising because of confusion over who is in charge of whom and what.

That declaration by the company, Williams said, left the council with no op-

tion but to break with the fire company and demand that the $150,000 already spent on payroll from June through August be repaid.

The company, however, issued its own statement on Thursday (it appears as a full page ad on page 38) rebutting William’s assertions and contending that it has been anything but uncooperative.

Alerted by the town of a paid employee’s charge of harassment in the workplace, the company says in its statement that it asked for specific details of the incidents but were rebuffed by Carson, who cited the policy of not releasing personnel matters to an “outside entity.”

But as the company’s attorney, Joe Moore, said Thursday, the company could hardly be considered an outside entity, when all the professional personnel “have been and continue to be employees of the fire company.”

He added that while the town’s funding of the department covers $237,000 in EMS expenses, the overall cost of that department is $850,000 a year and that the company itself pays the balance.

“We turned over the administration [aspects] of the employees to the town,” Moore said of the 2009 agreement, in order to meet the IRS standards. What the company did not relinquish was authority over how they operated, he said.

Moore said because the town refused to give the company the specifics of the complaint against it, fire company officials conducted their own investigation. They also brought in a counselor to conduct sensitivity training and that all the volunteers were required to attend.

In addition, following the town’s demand that at least one individual step down from a leadership post, that person and several more removed themselves from positions of authority, Moore said.

“The town’s demands were not ignored by the fire company,” Moore said. “All of those demands were met,” except one: relinquishing the company’s authority over EMS scheduling.

The town has insisted that an EMS supervisor, who is on staff, report to Carson about scheduling. The fire company, according to Moore, wants to participate in those discussions, but has been denied.

The company’s desire to be a part of the scheduling process is partly because so many volunteer EMS personnel are involved as well.

Moore said the company has 38 certified EMS volunteers who provide critical backup to the professional staff, which sees well over 1,000 calls for service a year.

Last year, the company responded to 1,574 EMS calls and this year to date, has handled 777 calls.

“The volunteers have [outside] work schedules” that have to be considered, Moore said. “We know what they are.”

It is the scheduling argument, not the harassment issue, that has the company and the town at loggerheads now, Moore said. As for the harassment, “We have responded. That’s a fact.”

But having taken tough action Tuesday, town officials say they see little reason to meet with company representatives to resolve the dispute, sticking with their insistence that there will be no reconciliation until personnel involved in any harassment are dismissed.

Clerk at West Ocean City store fabricated theft tale, police say

(Aug. 24, 2012) Worcester County will have emergency epinephrine injections available at public schools this year, the result of a policy review mandated by Maryland’s passage earlier this year of one of the so-called ‘EpiPen bills’ that are proliferating around the country.

“It grew out of a tragic circumstance earlier in Virginia,” said county Supervisor of Student Services Fred Grant in presenting his policy recommendation to the School Board. “I was actually on the state team that worked out the guidelines.”

Seven-year-old Amarria Johnson died on Jan. 4 after a classmate at her Chesterfield County school accidentally gave her a peanut, to which she was allergic. The nut caused a condition known as anaphylaxis, which results from the body’s own excessive reaction to certain toxins. Acute allergies, such as those to nuts and bee stings, are a common cause.

The commissioners learned that FEMA approved a grant to have the county’s hazard mitigation plan updated.

Both Roslyn Purnell and Kevin Purnell were charged with theft from $10,000 to $100,000, conspiracy to commit theft from $10,000 to $100,000, theft of less than $1,000, conspiracy to commit theft of less than $1,000 and obstructing and hindering a police officer. Kevin Purnell was also charged with making a false statement to a police officer.

Anyone with additional information related to this case is asked to contact the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation at 410-352-3476 or Lower Shore Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.

WORCESTER COUNTY BRIEFS

(Aug. 24, 2012) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following issues during their meeting Tuesday.

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) The clerk at a West Ocean City store who claimed he was beaten and tied up during a robbery was charged Friday with felony theft and other crimes in connection with the incident. His 29-year-old wife was also arrested.

On Aug. 3, deputies of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office went to Lids, a hat store at 12741 Ocean City, in response to an alarm. On arrival, they saw the clerk, Kevin Jamal Purnell of Berlin, on the floor. The doors to the business were locked.

Deputies entered and Purnell told them he had just been robbed at gunpoint. The deputies then contacted the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation.

When the WCBI detectives interviewed Purnell, he told them that he was taking out the trash when a lightskinned black man with dreadlocks, dressed in black, placed a gun at his back and ordered him to return to the store. Inside, Purnell said, the robber forced him to lock the door and then beat Purnell repeatedly. After he was incapacitated, Purnell said, the intruder stole numerous hats from the store before leaving.

Detectives viewed surveillance video from inside the store and that video did not match Purnell’s story. Detectives could see that the robber was a lightskinned black woman, not a man. They also saw other things that did not match his story.

The detectives learned that Roslyn Purnell, the clerk’s wife, matched the description of the person who commit-

NEWS 25

Anaphylaxis is treatable with an injection of epinephrine, more commonly known as adrenaline. Epinephrine is the archaic but generally accepted generic drug term for adrenaline in the United States, given that the term “adrenaline” itself was actually trademarked in the 19th century, but is now no longer proprietary.

Easy-to-administer epinephrine injections are commonly available to allergy sufferers. The most popular brand variety, the EpiPen, involves a syringe than automatically shoots into a subject’s thigh, through clothing if necessary, to deliver a pre-measured injection.

In the Johnson case, however, an injection was not available, spurring Virginia legislators to pass a bill stating that schools should be able to keep their own emergency epinephrine devices regardless of whether students have known allergies. Such “EpiPen bills” have spread across the U.S. during legislative sessions this year.

The commissioners voted to send six petitions for agricultural easements to the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation. Ed Tudor, director of the Department of Development Review and Permitting, said the foundation would likely only have enough funds to buy easements on two of the properties based on soil types, property size, development rights available to extinguish, landowner bid and other factors.

Boat slips The commissioners voted 6-1 to award two-year leases for eight boat slips at the commercial marina in West Ocean City. Com-

missioner Louise Gulyas cast the sole opposing vote because one bid arrived late and was opened during the meeting. That, she said, set a bad precedent for accepting late bids. The other commissioners favored opening the last bid because it was the eighth bid and there are eight boat slips. Bids for the three 100-foot-long slips ranged from $9,000 to $10,001.99 and bids for the five 75-footlong slips ranged from $3,000 to $8,000.

The late bid was for $6,001.01.

Household waste Public Works Director John Tustin announced that the department’s Solid Waste Division has scheduled another c-Cycle and Household Hazardous Waste Day for Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The drop-off site will be at the Showell Elementary School parking lot.

Nuisance abatements The commissioners agreed that the Public Works Department would demolish two structures on Newark Road because of their dilapidated conditions.

Earlier plans called for the Newark Fire Company to burn the structures as training exercises, but that idea was dropped because Delmarva Power’s transmission lines lie directly overhead of one of the structures and directly adjacent to the order, Relocating those lines would cost more about $20,000.

Demolition by the Public Works Department employees would cost substantially less.

POLICE BRIEFS

Handgun in vehicle Worcester County deputies found a loaded Smith and Wesson .40-caliber handgun, approximately one pound of marijuana and $517.47 in cash in a car stopped on Route 113 at Old Virginia Road in Pocomoke on Aug. 21 because of an equipment violation.

The deputies charged Loronda Weathers, 24, of Norfolk, Va., and Dewayne Walker, 30, of Nassawadox, Va., with possession of marijuana, possession of a concealed handgun in a vehicle and possession of a firearm while committing a drug trafficking crime.

PCP effects Being shot with a Taser seemingly had no effect on a 38-year-old Baltimore man Aug. 17 at the Lake Haven Trailer Park near Berlin.

A Worcester County deputy used the device on James Conroy because he was running ag-

gressively toward the deputy and refused to stop when ordered to do so. After being shot with the Taser, Conroy allegedly assaulted the deputy.

Officers believe Conroy was under the influence of the drug PCP.

Marijuana in car A 22-year-old Baltimore woman was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia after the vehicle in which she was a passenger was stopped for a seatbelt violation in West Ocean City on Aug. 19.

A Worcester County deputy stopped the vehicle in the area of Keyser Point Road in West Ocean City. After making contact with the driver, James Paul Kimble, 27, of Pasadena, the deputy smelled the odor of burnt marijuana.

The passenger, Gaberille Marie Fitzgerald, said she had marijuana and a “bowl” in her bag in the trunk of the vehicle, according to a press release. A search of the vehicle produced suspected marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The driver was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

Gun replica A 21-year-old Newark, Del., man, Teshawn Keith Robertson, was charged Aug. 10, with having a replica gun.

An Ocean City police officer on Bike Patrol in the inlet lot smelled the odor of marijuana coming from a truck. The driver exited the truck and the police officer found what appeared to be a pistol under the driver’s seat. It turned out to be a replica capable of firing five projectiles. Robertson, the driver, said he owned the gun replica.

Pedestrian hit A 21-year-old Irish man was struck by a taxi Aug. 20 as he tried to cross Philadelphia Avenue near 19th Street.

The man, who was crossing the street with a group of friends at about 12:50 a.m., was not in a marked crosswalk when he was struck.

Ocean City police said the taxi driver tried to brake but did not have time to come to a complete stop and struck the man.

Paramedics treated the victim, who had sev-

AUGUST 24, 2012 eral injuries, before he was flown by helicopter to Peninsula Regional Medical Center. He was in stable condition Monday.

Police said this was the 32nd pedestrian collision investigated by the Ocean City Police Department this year.

Drug distribution During an investigation into the distribution of marijuana on Aug. 18, members of the Ocean City Police Department and the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team were attempting to arrest two men on the porch of a Sixth Street residence when the suspects began to struggle and to fight with police.

In addition, according to police reports, several other occupants of the residence left the unit and began to interfere with the arresting officers.

Police called for assistance and then initiated a search of the residence, turning up more marijuana in the top floor unit where friends of the suspects were staying.

Charged with distribution of a controlled dangerous substance were two 20-year-old New York men, Andrew James McAllister of Garnerville and Thomas Patrick Brannigan Jr. of Garnerville. Two other 20-year-old New York men, Thomas William Mullen of Pearl River and Michael Anthony Sadori of North Rockland were charged with conspiracy to distribute a controlled dangerous substance and resisting arrest.

Concealed weapons Ocean City police charged a 23-year-old Upper Marlboro man with two counts of having a concealed deadly weapon after finding a knife and a sword in his car.

A policeman stopped the Pontiac Firebird TransAm that Ryan Landsdale Peed was driving on Newport Bay Drive because the vehicle’s brake light was out.

As Peed looked for his registration card, the police officer saw the handle of a knife wedged between the center console and the passenger seat.

After Peed exited the car, the officer found a samurai sword in a black case wedged between the driver’s door and the driver’s seat.

Drug crop A 32-year-old Bishopville man was charged Aug. 10 with manufacturing marijuana after detectives found 67 marijuana plants growing in a wooded area next to his residence.

The marijuana plants ranged from one to eight feet tall.

A search of the house of the grower, Jason Vermillion, resulted in the discovery of 38 grams of marijuana, numerous items of paraphernalia and multiple firearms.

Vermillion was also charged with possession of marijuana, possession with the intent to distribute marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.

The investigation was conducted by the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team with assistance from deputies of the Patrol Division, the Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit and the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Epinephrine shots available at public schools this year Continued from Page 25

“The [Maryland] policy does not say that schools have to maintain an EpiPen, but as we discussed it, it just doesn’t make sense to develop a policy without having the actual EpiPens,” Grant said.

Although students who have been prescribed EpiPens have always been allowed to bring them to school, the new policy will allow schools to have their own devices that will be kept in the school nurse’s office, as well as being distributed to teachers and coaches going on field trips or sporting events.

In order to do so, the county essentially had to prescribe EpiPens for itself, under the authority of the county Health Department’s top physician, Dr. Andrea Mathias.

“We had to have a medical professional in the Health Department sign off on the orders … by doing that, anybody who uses that EpiPen comes under her license,” Grant said.

“There’s been a lot of discussion, but it’s the right thing to do. No parent should have to worry about this,” said board Vice President Jonathan Cook.

“That’s the scary part, because so many allergic reactions are previously unknown,” board member J. Douglas Dryden added.

Board member Robert Hulburd asked Grant if there was any concern regarding students attempting to use the EpiPens for recreational purposes.

“You never know. I’ve heard about kids using cinnamon and nutmeg to get some sort of feeling,” he said.

“Last week, I actually stuck myself by accident, so I can kind of speak as an expert on that,” Grant replied. He said that he experienced no effects other than what one would expect from heightened adrenaline – a temporarily elevated heart rate and feeling of nervousness.

“There’s no evidence to indicate that it would cause a person to expire by giving them an EpiPen if they don’t need it,” Grant said.

end of the property has been investigated, but Miller said it’s still very tentative.

“Who knows what the requirements are going to be, so you need to go on record now saying you have it [the parking bonus],” Miller said.

“The architectural basis for this is fairly obvious as far as the old coastal style goes,” Schoellkopf noted. “But it’s set up so multiple tenants can have their own identities.

It’s got space for unique signs and unique entrances.”

The commission’s only two concerns about the project were its security lighting and its sidewalk provisions on 68th Street.

Commission Chairwoman Pam Buckley asked if the spaces in between the separate buildings would present a crime issue late at night. “That’s the only thing, safetywise, that’s an issue for me,” Buckley said.

Schoellkopf showed the commission a

projection of how the area would be illuminated with the lighting he and Miller had specified, noting that the brightness of the area was in-line with town standards as far as minimum and maximum footcandle allowances.

Miller also added that the rear of the buildings would not be hidden areas, prone to graffiti or littering. Instead, he said, the mechanical utilities often seen at the backs of buildings would be elevated and mounted inside the complex. The back of the building would be well-lit and have entranceways for visitors from the Sunset Island condo complex to the west.

“It’s also why the back of the buildings don’t look like the backs of buildings per se,” Miller said.

“I like that. You hate to see these rear entrances of malls that don’t get used and just go into disrepair,” said Buckley.

Miller and Schoellkopf’s plans would

also allow for the installation of 8-footwide sidewalks – which the city has been trying to phase in for several years – on Coastal Highway and along 67th Street.

Sidewalks with a 5-foot-width would be on 68th Street.

Miller said that this was preferable for traffic safety, however, because having less pedestrian access on 68th Street would encourage walkers to access the complex from 67th. That street has a crosswalk on Coastal Highway, whereas the 68th Street intersection does not. The complex will also allow for a bus stop shelter at 67th.

“I think we’re providing a situation that’s actually better. I know that Terry [McGean, the City Engineer] doesn’t want people to cross at 68th,” Miller said.

“It makes sense if you’re trying to bus everybody to 67th Street…that’s where we’ve put all the eggs in the basket, so to speak,” said Buckley.

(Aug. 24, 2012) The Dew Tour was reshaped this year to showcase action sports in three large-scale, premium and “grandslam” style events.

Dew Tour representatives worked closely for several months with a number of athletes to determine the best mix of sports and disciplines at each stop this year. The 2012 Dew Tour stops include Ocean City (Pantech Beach Championships), Aug. 16-19; San Francisco, Oct. 18-21 (Toyota City Championship); and Breckenridge, Colo., (Mountain Championships), Dec. 13-16.

“Our beach, city and mountain theme provides a fresh and exciting direction for the sports to progress, and each of the three events will draw inspiration from the host city to create its own identity,” Chris Prybylo, vice president of events for Alli Sports, the company that produces the Dew Tour, said last week.

Events that took place in Ocean City included the GoDaddy Surf Expression Session and Skate Vert and Skate Bowl contests, which were showcased last year.

A Skate Mega 2.0 competition and Skate Bowl Legends event, were new to the lineup.

BMX Park and Vert contests were featured again this year in the resort along with the new BMX Mega 2.0 and Dew Tour’s first-ever Flatland demonstration, where four athletes were chosen to show off their skills.

“For this year’s Dew Tour, we added competitions that are popular with the athletes, and fit well with the beach setting in Ocean City,” Prybylo said.

■ Skate Bowl Legends: Last August, the Dew Tour presented the Alli Rideshop Skate Bowl Legends Jam during the Portland Invitational in Portland, Ore. Because of its success, a similar event was scheduled for Ocean City during the Pantech Beach Championships.

The Skate Bowl Legends contest, which included nine athletes chosen by a committee and invited based on their status as true “pioneers” of bowl skating, took place last Thursday. Many of the men have been around for decades and continue to work within the industry and occasionally compete.

Chris Miller, chief creative director for Alli Sports, the company that produces the Dew Tour, won the legends competition in Portland last year and came out on top in Ocean City with a score of 88.5, by making use of the entire bowl and combining lip tricks and airs. Each skater had four runs and Miller earned that score in the second round.

“Even though I’ve been competing and skating a long time I always get nervous, but tonight I just felt relaxed and had fun, so I was really happy,” Miller said after the contest. “It was fun skating with all these guys. Steve Alba and Eddie Elguera, for a lot of us — Christian [Hosoi], myself, Jeff [Grosso] — those guys we looked up to growing up. Some of these guys I’ve known since I was 10 years old. We all grew up together and we’re all good friends.”

Miller, of Upland, Calif., designed the portable concrete structure engineered by Spohn Ranch. It made its debut in Ocean

City last summer.

Christian Hosoi of Huntington Beach, Calif, finished in second place with a best score of 83.5 and Steve Caballero of Campbell, Calif., was third with an 81.75.

■ GoDaddy.com Surf Expression Session: Following the Skate Bowl Legends final, the GoDaddy.com Surf Expression Session took place in the ocean near the pier. A boat provided waves for the contest. Under the lights, DJ RAC provided the music as Eric Geiselman (New Smyrna Beach, Fla.) and Nate Yeomans (San Clemente, Calif.) battled it out in the final round of the towin contest. Geiselman was victorious with a 6.0 in the second heat of the finals, using the speed of the Jet Ski to complete a huge combination maneuver.

“I’m super stoked on the win,” Geiselman stated in a press release.

■ BMX Vert: In the Dew Tour’s eight-year history, Jamie Bestwick of Nottingham, Great Britain, has been the only BMX athlete to hold the Vert title. Bestwick, who spent the weeks prior to the Pantech Beach Championships in London as a commentator for BMX Olympic events, was challenged in the Vert six-man finals, but pulled ahead in his last run to win the event.

Bestwick, who admitted he was tired and still on England time, with little practice beforehand, found himself in last place on Aug. 17, while Simon Tabron (Liverpool, Great Britain) held the lead with a 91.88 going into the third and final run. Vince Byron (Brisbane, Australia) pulled ahead with a 92.13 on his third run. Bestwick, the second to last rider in the third round, did a turndown flair, tailwhip flair and downwhip turndown and landed a seatgrab knack-knack, invert 540 and opposite flair to earn a 92.75 and capture his eighth BMX Vert title. Byron took second place (92.13) and Tabron finished third (91.88).

“It was tough to follow these guys tonight … Personally, I thought Vince rode amazing and so did Simon, so did everybody. The level of vert riding went through the roof,” Bestwick said after the competition. “I’m so proud just to be in the company of these guys because they really are pushing the limits.

“I couldn’t stick my first two runs. I don’t know what was going on, but I came through and somehow won the contest,” he said. “I’m very proud. It was another great Dew Tour here in Ocean City. I can’t wait to be back here next year because this is a pretty special place.”

■ Skateboard Vert: In the five-rider Skateboard Vert final last Saturday, Pierre-Luc Gagnon (Montreal, Canada), more commonly referred to as “PLG,” scored an 88.5 in the second of four rounds, incorporating several flip tricks and held on for the victory. Baltimore native Bucky Lasek took secondplace honors with a best score of 85.75.

Sandro Dias (Costa Mesa, Brazil) finished in third place with an 85.25.

“It feels great to win again at the Dew Tour. I had a hard time in practice, but kept my cool and threw it down when it mattered. I’ve done this a bunch of times, so I knew what I had to do,” Gagnon See MEGA on Page 34

stated in a press release. “The fans are so into it here in Ocean City. It feels great to perform in front of a crowd like this.” n BMX Park: The BMX Park six-man finals kicked off Sunday’s competitions. Brett Banasiewicz’s (South Bend, Ind.) 92.75 scored on the first run held the top spot for three rounds. His winning run included a front flip no hander, 360 triple whip and cash roll on the step down.

Kyle Baldock (Gold Coast, Australia) followed a close second with a 92.25 and Scotty Cranmer (Jackson, N.J.), who did not take his final run because he was feeling ill, finished third with a 91.75.

“I’m happy the way I rode. I had fun and I did all my tricks I wanted,” he said.

“I kind of knew Scotty wasn’t going to take his third run, but I didn’t want to take a chance and be chill on my third run and have him come out and kill it. I tried to go hard on all three of my runs. Ocean City

was really fun and I had a good time with all my friends riding bikes.” n Skateboard Bowl: The Skateboard Bowl final began immediately after the BMX Park event on Sunday. There were two rounds with five skateboarders in each. The field was then narrowed down to the top five for a “Super Final” competition. Because of rain, the five-rider final was canceled and the scores from the first two heats stood.

For the second consecutive year, Pedro Barros (Florianopolis, Brazil) took top honors in Ocean City.

Barros scored an 85.76 on his run that included and alley-oop indy over the hip, followed by a massive 540 as well an alleyoop fakie frontside 50-50 grind and a Smith grind around the deep end corner.

“I was stoked. This bowl’s amazing so it’s always really fun to skate,” Barros said.

“I was trying to skate my best. The level of skating was high. I’m pretty sure everyone had a lot more skating and I had a lot

more skating and I knew the Super Final would be a tougher battle because everyone would be hungrier, but no one can fight Mother Nature.”

Lasek finished second with an 84.13.

Ben Hatchell (Manassas, Va.) rounded out the top three riders, scoring an 83.38.

“I’m a little disappointed for the fans. As far as the skating goes, we all had something in the bank that we wanted to explode with in the Super Final, but I think pretty much were the standing are I’m happy with that,” Lasek said. “It was awesome to be back in Ocean City. The Pantech Beach Championships is second to none. It was an awesome venue — the best venue ever. Everyone loves Ocean City, and I think that’s why they keep coming back.” n BMX Flatland: While the Skateboard Bowl contest was in progress, over on the stage area the first Dew Tour BMX Flatland demo/battle was taking place.

flat surfaces that do not include any ramps, jumps or grindrails. Four athletes —Terry Adams, Matt Wilhelm, Matthias Dandois and Alex Jumelin, some of the biggest names in Flatland BMX — were chosen by a specialized committee to display their skills during the exhibition.

In the final round of the first-ever BMX Flatland battle style competition, Dandois went up against Adams and came out victorious.

“Flatland is a part of the BMX family and it was great to be with everyone and hang out here at the Dew Tour,” Matthias was quoted on www.allisports.com. n BMX and Skate Mega 2.0: New to the Pantech Beach Championships was the Mega 2.0, an event in which skateboarders and BMX athletes performed a variety of tricks high in the sky. Prybylo said adding Mega 2.0 would allow skate and BMX Vert athletes to showcase their abilities in a new discipline.

“We are excited to have brought the Mega 2.0 event to the fans in Ocean City for the first time and are happy with how the event was received by both the fans and athletes,” he said. “Both the skate and BMX events were exciting to watch and Tom Schaar’s 1080 on the beach in front of a big crowd was a major moment for the Dew Tour.”

The Mega 2.0 ramp is a smaller version of the MegaRamp. It provides athletes the same opportunity for dynamic tricks as the larger MegaRamp, though it is a more technical ramp that allows them to showcase street-inspired tricks, as well.

The MegaRamp has two different gap sizes set at 50-foot and 70-foot wide. The quarter pipe is 27 feet tall. The roll-ins are 65 feet and 85 feet tall from ground level.

The Mega 2.0 has one gap set at 30 feet wide. The quarter pipe is 18 feet tall and the roll-in is 35 feet tall from ground level.

The BMX Mega 2.0 took place early in the day Sunday. Zackery Warden’s (St. Louis, Mo.) solid final run, landing a backflip bike flip into a triple tailwhip, earned him a 91.63 to tie Chad Kagy (Gilroy, Calif). Warden was awarded first place because his second highest score (89.25) topped Kagy’s (88.63). Kagy finished in second and Byron placed third (90.63).

“It means a lot to win, especially at Mega 2.0 at the beach stop of the Dew Tour,” Warden stated in a press release.

“I’ve been riding this ramp a lot and I’ve been on the Dew Tour for seven years now, so to finally pull out a win here in Ocean City means a lot to me.”

The Skate Mega 2.0 was postponed until later in the evening Sunday because of rain. Under the lights, 12-year-old Tom Schaar landed a 1080 to clench the title.

Schaar (Malibu, Calif.) won the event with a score of 89. He first landed the 1080 five months ago and is currently the only skateboarder to successfully complete the trick.

Elliot Sloan (New York, N.Y) earned second-place honors with an 87 and Bob Burnquist (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) finished third with an 86.75.

“I’m so stoked,” Schaar, stated in a press release. It was his third event of the Pantech Beach Championships. “I’m a little tired after skating in all these events, and I didn’t expect to do this well since I didn’t get a lot of practice on the ramp. I guess I got a little lucky.”

OBITUARIES Patricia Morris Peloquin TAKOMA PARK, Md. — Patricia Morris Peloquin, 75, retired dental hygienist and homemaker, died peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her three daughters, on Monday, Aug. 6, 2012, in Takoma Park, Md. For years, she had carried a quote in her wallet stating that one should end life’s journey loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” — a sentiment seemingly at odds with her life as an organized, responsible and caring professional woman, mother, wife and neighbor.

The quote reminded her to enjoy life and have fun. She loved her family and friends, loved the Maryland shore and her garden, music and dancing, and she frequently reminded her daughters to stop and smell the roses.

She also said that, when she was young, single and broke, the best way to have fun was to cook a chicken for her young, single, broke friends.

Born Patricia Irene Morris in Salisbury, to Oscar Lee Morris Jr. (editor of the Salisbury Times) and the late Alyce Irene Martino, she earned money mowing lawns and doing yard work in her neighborhood. She studied tap and ballroom dance, and as a teenager, sang and danced professionally on the East-

ern Shore and in Baltimore. She was head majorette and secretary of the math club at Wicomico High, taught dance in Salisbury, and entered beauty pageants.

She earned her certificate in dental hygiene from the University of Pennsylvania in 1956, and in the same year was chosen Cherry Blossom Princess for the state of Maryland. She practiced dental hygiene in Salisbury, in the offices of her uncle Albert Morris. Later, she worked in Baltimore, then in the Washington, D.C. area. From 1962-1963, she was president of the Maryland Dental Hygienist Association.

In 1963, she married Robert Alfred Peloquin, and retired from dental hygiene to raise her family. She always felt it was important that someone be home when the children came home from school, and that the family dine together nightly at 6 p.m., with very few exceptions. Because her own mother passed away shortly before her wedding, she was especially appreciative of her mother-in-law, Gilbertha Peloquin.

Mrs. Peloquin was a founder of, and wrote the newsletter for, a neighborhood association in Upper Marlboro, Md., and helped organize a yearly Spring Fling for the Old Bay Trail community off White House Road. She was a founding member of the Largo Civic

Association. She was a fierce advocate for her children’s education, always active in parent-teacher associations, and frequently was a volunteer in the schools.

She also enjoyed taking up a series of hobbies, from painting to ceramics to cake decorating to knitting. She sewed several special outfits for her daughters, and, in the early ’70s, several brightly colored mod outfits for herself. She made sure to teach her daughters the basics of sewing; she felt all children should at least learn to fix a button or a hem.

During the short time she lived near San Diego, Calif., she enjoyed beach volleyball and learning to haggle in Tijuana, Mexico. She always enjoyed gardens and gardening, from her parents’ back yard, to her large vegetable garden and rose garden in her first house, to the Ocean City plantings with the wellplaced thorn bushes to prevent the “tourists” from walking through the tomatoes. She favored a lush, dynamic garden design that was once described by a small visitor as a “beautiful jungle.”

She was always interested in the weather forecast, and discussing the latest theories of healthy diet. Because her parents died in their 50s, she was amazed she stayed so healthy so long.

Everyone who knew her remarked on the strength and courage she showed as she nursed her husband through ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gherig’s disease) for five years while also taking on his portion of the household chores. As her

role of caregiver became physically more demanding, she boasted about how strong her new daily workout had made her. After her husband passed away, Mrs. Peloquin took up walking 10,000 steps a day in the neighborhood to keep in shape.

One of her great joys in life was the time she spent with her family and friends in Ocean City. She chatted on the beach or on her front porch, walked for miles on the beach, served happy hour snacks to her family and friends, and arranged occasional outings to a local restaurant to watch the sunset over Assawoman Bay accompanied by the 1812 overture. She was unafraid to address rowdy young renters who were breaking Ocean City noise ordinances, to give them a chance to behave themselves before she called the cops. And she just as frequently asked the ice cream truck driver to turn down the loud music that disrupted the peace for half an hour at a time. Mrs. Peloquin was frugal, but always offered her time generously to her family and friends.

She frequently helped friends troubleshoot and repair a household problem, offered to help remove spots from carpets, and spent time with shut-ins. She frequently discovered that some parts were not strictly necessary to get small appliances working again.

Mrs. Peloquin bequeathed to her children the conviction that problems can be solved if you put your mind to it, and “keep plugging away” at it. Because she always seemed to succeed at any task she decided to set her mind to, her

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

The Give It Away team won the billfish release division of the 19th annual Capt. Steve Harman’s Poor Girls Open ladies-only fishing tournament.

The group released three white marlin and two blues and received a check for $33,260 during the awards banquet on Sunday at the Marlin Club.

GALS COME OUT IN FULL FORCE Approx. 500 lady anglers participate in Capt. Steve Harman’s Poor Girls Open LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 24, 2012) The Capt. Steve Harman’s Poor Girls Open ladies-only fishing tournament saw a nine-boat increase from 2010 to 2011, and this year, 20 additional boats competed in the event.

Seventy-nine boats carrying 361 women entered the tournament in 2010, when $75,720 was up for grabs. Last year, 88 boats took 403 lady anglers fishing offshore. They competed for $81,390 in prize money.

In 2012, 108 boats registered and 499 females participated. A total of $95,980 was awarded to the winners.

Earl Conley, co-director of the Open, said he was a bit concerned during registration last Wednesday when only 38 boats had signed up between 4 and 6:30 p.m. But the rain stopped and when the sun came, out so did the lady anglers. The line to register stretched across the parking lot at one point and Conley said organizers were busy checking in boats until 10:30 p.m. Conley said they were “tickled” with the turnout.

“With the current state of the economy, I thought we’d have around 80 boats. And we would have been happy to have 80 boats,” Conley said. “To have 108 boats this year — 20 more boats than last year — that’s just great. We’re extremely happy.”

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 pro-

vide 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.

Proceeds from the tournament are 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. Kathy Mathias, a longtime co-chairwoman of the Pink Ribbon Classic Series Committee, lost her battle with the disease last August.

“When there’s a cause behind it, that’s what it’s all about. Shawn [Harman, Open co-organizer] said Kathy Mathias was looking down on us, and that’s what we attribute our success to,” Conley said.

In 2011, the Harman family presented the American Cancer Society with a check for $54,000 during the tournament’s awards ceremony. This year, $62,500 was donated to the organization. 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 on July 22. The total donated by the Harman family through the tournament and other events over the past five years is $312,000 mark. Since the Open’s inception 19 years ago, the American cancer Society has received $560,000. 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.

Twenty-four of the 108 boats headed offshore last Thursday, the first day of the tournament. Forty-four fished last Friday and 40 went out the following day.

The Give It Away won the billfish release division. The team released three white marlin and two blues and received $33,260.

The Pumpin’ Hard 66 finished in second place with four white marlin releases. The ladies were awarded $19,956. The Muff Diver team cut four whites loose and took home $2,000. Female anglers aboard the Reel Joy also released four whites and pocketed $11,304 because of participation in the added entry level calcuttas.

Krissy Meyers, fishing aboard the Evil Eye, took top honors in the tuna division.

Her 64.7-pound fish was worth $8,615.

Meyers teammate, Melissa Wayson, hooked a 60.8-pound tuna and collected an additional $3,969 for the crew. The FinNess team was presented with a $2,646 check for Lisa Meyers’ third-place 60.5pound tuna.

Patty Link’s 18.1-pound dolphin landed in first place. She and the Reel Desire crew earned $8,615 for the catch. Miss Kittie angler Becky Johnson’s 13.4-pound dolphin took second place. The group won no money because the ladies didn’t enter the tuna added entry level calcutta. Krissy Baiocco took third place with her 11.3pounder. Baiocco and fellow Second Chance anglers were awarded $3,969.

Ruth Kloetzli and her Jezebel teammates receive $2,646 for her 9.8-pound dolphin.

The top junior angler was Cheyenne Peete, who released two white marlin on the No Quarter. She won $100 and a Shimano Jigging rod and reel valued at $450.

“The tournament went extremely well.

Thanks to the Harman family and the Pink Ribbon ladies who were on hand every day, and thanks to our sponsors,” Conley said.

“Thanks to the 499 lady anglers. They’re the ones who make the tournament successful.”

Blessing House Ministries will present its annual golf tournament on Friday, Sept. 28, at Deer Run Golf Club, 8804 Logtown Road in Berlin.

The tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. and follow a scramble format. Cost is $85 per player and golfers may register as an individual or as a team. Proceeds will benefit Blessing House Ministries, which provides food and clothing to citizens in need.

Boys’ 18-year-old division champion, Ian Kelley and finalist, Michael Macari.

More than 40 tennis players competed in junior tournament (Aug. 24, 2012) The Ocean City Jr. Open L5 Tennis Tournament, held Aug 35, took pace at the Ocean City Tennis Center on 61st Street.

The tournament began on Aug. 3 with two rounds and the staff ran 54 matches over three days. More than 40 junior players descended on Ocean City for this annual event.

A L5 Tournament is a designation by the United States Tennis Association for a state event and this competition included players from Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Washington, D.C. In the boys’ 18-year-old division, Ian Kelley (Salisbury) prevailed in a round robin and Michael Micari (Catonsville, Md.) was the runner-up.

In the Boys’ 16 final, top seeded Andrew Wormer (Chevy Chase, Md.) held on to beat Justin New (Rockville, Md.) 6-4, 3-6 (10-5).

Unseeded Luke Murphy (Fruitland) upset No. 1 seed, Sean Billerbeck (Olney,

Md.) 6-4, 6-4. in the Boys 14 final.

In the boys’ 12-year-old final, No. 1 seed, Matthew Kilchenstein (Millersville, Md.) squeaked by his twin brother, Andrew by the score of 6-0,3-6, (10-6).

In the girls’ 16 division, top seeded Rachel Wagner (Chantilly, Va.) fought off Dana Saliyev (Jamison, Pa.) 7-5, 6-2 for the championship.

“The L4 always brings in some of the top competition from the entire USTA Mid-Atlantic Region, but this year the L5 tournament in August attracted just as many ranked players as our L4,” said OCTC Director of Tennis, Dr. Keith Coleman. “Many of the matches went to a third set super tie-breaker for some of the closest competitions we’ve had at any of our junior tournaments.”

The Tennis Center will present a USTA sanctioned Adult Open Tournament with Men’s and Women’s Open and 35 and Over Divisions, Sept. 7-9. For more information, call 410-524-8337.

Shawn Kotwica prepares several martinis at The Underground Lounge, located on 22nd Street and Baltimore Avenue. The Underground Lounge opened for business on Aug. 1, with a new look and concept. Martinis and tapas are the focal points of the establishment.

LOUNGE,UNDERGROUND Martinis and tapas featured at The Underground Lounge on 22nd St. in Ocean City LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 24, 2012) Shawn Kotwica has been collecting recipes and concocting martinis for a number of years. So when it came time to develop a drink menu for The Underground Lounge, on 22nd Street and Baltimore Avenue, he was easily able to design a list of about 100 options.

The Kucuk brothers, Berto Brock, Bugra and Bruno, opened The Underground Bar & Grill in May 2008. Kotwica has partnered with the brothers and he will be running the recently renovated lounge.

Kotwica began sprucing up the space about a month ago, adding a fresh coat of paint — monochromatic gray, to give the place a basement feel, since it is located below street level.

The exposed pipes were painted red to provide a pop of color. The bar top was also refinished.

“It has a modern industrial

loft-ish look, like a city loft, from the exposed pipes, to the woods, cloths and metals,” he said.

The Underground Lounge opened on Aug. 1 for business with a new look and concept.

Martinis and tapas are the focal points of the establishment.

“I think people will like the concept,” he said. “I think of [The Underground Lounge] as a place to get away. It’s a nice little hideaway.”

Kotwica’s martini menu is pleasing to both the eyes and taste buds. It features vividly colored drinks that are sweet, sour, tart, creamy, bold and spicy. Most of the martinis will be rimmed with either colored sugar, crushed graham crackers, chopped peanuts, coconut, Oreos, spicy chilis, marshmallow and even Pop Rocks candy, among other items.

For example, the peanut butter cup martini glass is rimmed with chocolate syrup and chopped peanuts. The key

lime pie cocktail is rimmed with marshmallow, graham cracker and coconut.

“They’re crafted cocktails.

It’s something different in Ocean City,” Kotwica said.

All martinis cost $7. Beer and other libations are also available.

In 2004, Kotwica spent a summer in Spain. He liked the idea of tapas — savory Spanish dishes typically served with drinks at a bar — so he has incorporated them into The Underground Lounge. “Tapas” literally means “cover/lid” beSee TAPAS on Page 47

Kotwica said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and easy food and people can try a few different things. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affordable and convenient for customers.â&#x20AC;?

Everything on the menu created by Kotwica cost $5 or less. An assortment of flatbread pizzas are available. Several salsas are on the menu as well. The salsas are freshly made right in front of the customer. Kotwica thinks cucumber cups with red pepper hummus and mini beef wellington will be two popular dishes. Daily, a fresh fish and seafood dish, as well as another special, will be showcased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple menu. We have stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different and healthy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About 90 percent is healthy for you.â&#x20AC;?

On some nights there will be live music or a deejay. The Underground has a pool table, as well. Artwork by Salisbury artist Adam Christophe is on display. Kotwica said he would also like to feature other local artists. He is looking for abstract pieces.

The Underground Lounge is open daily from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Food is served until 1:45 p.m. Kotwica plans to be open year-round.

Rules proposed to bring greater accountability REAL ESTATE REPORT

Natl. Assoc. of Realtors reviewing CFPBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;schanges LAUREN BUNTING â&#x2013; Contributing Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) Real estate settlements are documented on a form called the HUD-1 Settlement Statement, and this form, along with the Good Faith Estimate, were revamped by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development more than two years ago under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. But both forms are under review and subject to further alterations once again by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The changes that took effect in January 2010 were in an effort to decrease the incidence of quoted GFE numbers differing too much from what is ultimately owed at settlement, as shown on the HUD-1. The GFE is provided at the time a buyer makes application for a loan and come from your lender. The CFPB needs to make changes so that the Truth in Lending Act disclosures are in harmony with the settlement forms, HUD-1 and GFE. The National Association of Realtors is reviewing the CFPBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed changes, but it is somewhat of a lengthy task, since the changes are detailed in a

1,100-page regulation document. But, with the extent of changes proposed, NAR already sees some potential trouble spots.

As an example, here are a few of the trouble spots NAR points out: â&#x2013; The agency left it unclear who is supposed to fill out the proposed combined settlement form. Is it the lender or the closing agent? â&#x2013; NAR is exploring what is included in the expanded three-day settlement delay. In theory, the three-day delay rule was to allow a buyer time to review the document if there are major financial changes, so the agency allowed for exceptions, but NAR wants to be sure that the exceptions cover all the possible scenarios. â&#x2013; Third, the extent of the changes will cause disruption among lenders, title agents and real estate agents as everyone gets over the learning curve, and more hurdles in an already ailing real estate market trying to rebound are not welcomed.

If you have concerns about further

changes, the public will have until Oct. 16, to review and provide comments on the proposed rules. The CFPB will review and analyze the comments before issuing final rules in January 2013. An overview of the proposal is available at www.Regulations.gov and search â&#x20AC;&#x153;CFPB-2012-0028.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lauren Bunting is a member of the Coastal Association of Realtors and a licensed REALTORÂŽwith Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

CORRECTION A figure in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real Estate Reportâ&#x20AC;? was incorrect. The statement within the column should have read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To give you an idea of what this equates to in a loan, if you take a $100,000 loan, you would pay an additional $104 per month with an FHA loan vs. approximately $25 per month with a USDA loan (.30 percent for USDA and 1.25 percent for FHA). As you can see, a USDA loan can allow for more purchase power when debt-to-income ratios are tight.â&#x20AC;?

Hotel Week runs through Aug. 30; rooms still available LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 24, 2012) A number of visitors have made reservations and are taking advantage of the Ocean City Hotel Week promotion that includes free hotel stays and discount deals.

The 12-day promotion kicked off Aug. 19, and continues through Aug. 30.

“We’re targeting families who want to have one last vacation before school starts,” Susan Jones, executive director of the HMRA said last week. “This program is designed to mimic Restaurant Week because it’s been so successful. People are used to getting deals and we want to entice them to come to Ocean City at the end of August.”

Because the number of visitors tapers off at the end of August, as children head back to school, the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association in 2010 launched “Ocean City Hotel Week,” a 12day promotion that offered discounts and package deals at resort hotels and motels.

The objective of the campaign is to attract more visitors to the area and increase the number of bookings during the last few weeks of summer when business traditionally begins to slow down.

Approximately 25 hotels and motels are participating in the 2012 promotion. While most lodging facilities are offering a single incentive, such as a free night stay or a “beach bargain” deal, others are providing more money-saving opportunities.

“With the school calendar starting before Labor Day, the last two weeks of August are so hard to sell. Filling rooms has become a real challenge,” Jones said Wednesday. “However, visitors have called and inquired, so there is certainly interest in the promotion. There are some properties who are seeing reservations come in, while others may have to sweeten the offer.”

The “beach bargain” promotion offers guests 15 percent off the standard rate when they book three nights, 20 percent off if they book four nights, and a 25-percent discount if they stay five.

The free night offer invites visitors to stay three nights and get the fourth free, or stay four nights and get the fifth free.

Rooms are still available at resort properties.

“We have had several [reservations] that have been booked online and have had some calls as well,” stated Mark Elman, general manager of the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street in an e-mail to Jones on Tuesday. “We are strong all the way up until Sunday, then it dies off. The last week has always been the toughest with school going back.”

In an e-mail to Jones, Joel D. Brous, general manager of the Flamingo Motel on 31st Street and Baltimore Avenue, wrote, “We have had a very strong response from our Hotel Week promotion.”

To view the list of participating hotels and their special offers, visit www.oceancityhotelweek.com. Some restrictions apply.

The Web site also features many free family events and activities scheduled during the promotion, such as concerts, movies on the beach and Sundaes in the Park.

OC Jeep Week events continue this weekend LISA CAPITELLI ■ Assistant Editor (Aug. 24, 2012) The third annual Ocean City Jeep Week was set to get under way yesterday, with a meet-and-greet welcoming party at Seacrets on 49th Street, and additional activities are planned throughout the weekend in and around the resort.

“I think we’ll have a really good time. A lot of people are looking forward to it,” said event co-organizer Larry Sackadorf. “We’ve got some people coming all the way from Canada, and a Pennsylvania club is sending about 20 Jeeps.”

The inaugural Ocean City Jeep Week, held in August 2010, was a tremendous success with approximately 200 participants registering their vehicles. The 2011 Jeep Week was scheduled for Aug. 25-28, but unfortunately the only events that took place last year was the meet-and-greet party and some participants visited the Eastern Shore Jeep Association’s 81-acre private playground about 30 miles outside of Ocean City. The rest of the events were canceled because of Hurricane Irene, during which Ocean City was evacuated. Several hundred Jeep owners were registered to participate.

“The first one was pretty cool, then the second one was stifled because of the hurricane,” said Sackadorf, who has a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited JK - Special Ocean City Edition. It is “Ocean City Blue” with the Ocean City flag design across the hood.

The third annual event, presented by the Commander Hotel on 14th Street and the Boardwalk and produced by Broken Wing Productions, See JEEP on Page 62

Inaugural three-day event kicks off today, includes world record attempt

A

fter months of planning, the inaugural three-day “Uptown Beach Bash” is set to kick off today (Friday), with proceeds and donations collected over the weekend benefiting Relay for Life, Diakonia and the Surfrider Foundation.

“It’s going to be a great weekend,” said Brad Hoffman, co-owner of Spark Productions LLC, with Brian Stoehr and Dave Bafford.

“We’re hoping to get everyone to come out for the free events for charity.”

The North Ocean City Business Alliance, a group created by north-end business owners to lobby city government for more equitable geographic distribution of tourism promotion dollars, joined forces with Spark Productions to bring this new festival to the beach. They wanted to draw attention to that area in a fun and creative way, thus

the Uptown Beach Bash was born. On June 18, the Ocean City Council approved $22,135 for the Uptown Beach Bash.

“With this three-day event, we’re hoping to bring some kind of economic impact to Ocean City during a slower time,” said Steve Pappas, owner of The Original Greene Turtle on 116th Street, an Uptown Beach Bash sponsor. Pappas is also a member of the North Ocean City Business Alliance. “We’re trying to get people to come to Ocean City. We want them to see that there’s a lot more to Ocean City than the Boardwalk and inlet.”

The festivities will start today, Aug. 24, with the “Uptown Beach Bash Paddle Board Regatta and Bay Party” at BJ’s on the Water on 75th Street, from 1-5 p.m.

This event includes paddleboard races, where prizes will be awarded, as well as

lessons and clinics for beginners of all ages. Participants can decorate their paddleboards and display them during a parade to win prizes.

Pre-registration for the Guinness World Record Bikini Parade will take place at BJ’s on the Water, as well.

On Saturday, the “Guinness World Record Bikini Parade” will take place. Registration will begin at noon at the Princess Royale on 91st Street. Last weekend, 1,085 women, ranging in age from 4 to 70, set the new world record for the Largest Bikini Parade, according to the World Record Academy.

The ladies took part in the record-breaking event in China’s Huludao City, marching for more than a mile in bikinis. The previous record was set in Panama City Fla., where 450 women walked a mile through the city in March.

The Worcester County Arts Council and the St. Martin’s Foundation join in presenting Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” on Wednesday, Sept. 8, 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The free performance is made possible by the foundation’s supporters and sponsors of Brown Box Productions.

To reserve a seat in advance, go to the St. Martin’s Facebook (Historic St. Martin’s) page, select Events and then Shakespeare.

Watching a performance of Shakespeare in the historic church will be like stepping back into several centuries of history. Viewers will be within the walls of the 18th century while enjoying a play written approximately a century and a half earlier. It is estimated that Romeo & Juliet was written sometime in the 1590s, while the 256-year-old church building was begun 20 years before the signing of the Decoration of Independence and during the same year as the birth of Mozart.

Historic St. Martin’s is located just off Route 113 in Showell. When traveling from the north on Route 113, take the Ocean Pines exit. The church is on the right. If coming from the south on Route 113, take the Ocean Pines exit, turn left on Old Route 113, and left on Route 589 (Racetrack Road). At the stop sign where Racetrack Road ends, turn right. The church is on the left.

For information on the church, go to www.historicstmartinschurch.org.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Enjoy the respite from your recent hectic schedule, but be ready to plunge into a new round of social activities. A new contact holds much potential for the future.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A trusted colleague has news that could change your perception of a current workplace situation. What had seemed unfair might prove to be highly favorable after all.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You still need to watch what you say and how you say it. What you assert as honesty, others might perceive as Crabbiness. Be patient. This difficult period clears up by the weekend.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Royalness needs time away from the limelight to catch up on things, from tidying your desk to making those calls you’ve put off. You’re back in the center of things by the weekend.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Honesty is the best policy, of course.

But you’ll do better at achieving your goals if you can be less aggressive and more circumspect in how you phrase your comments.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your ability to maintain your balance in confusing situations continues to work for you. Stay on the steady course, one step at a time. The weekend shows improvement.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your indecisiveness could simply be your keen Scorpian sense warning you to be wary of making a commitment. Take this time to do a more thorough investigation.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It’s a good time to let those recently pent-up emotions flow more freely. Why not start by letting the people you care for know how you really feel about them?

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Resist offers, no matter how well-intentioned, to help with a personal decision. Only you know what must be done, and you have the emotional strength to follow through.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a talent for getting things done. You also have a gift for bringing people together in both personal and professional relationships.

OCBP warns: think twice before diving in ocean ON GUARD

Sandy sea floor no more forgiving than concrete KRISTIN JOSON ■ Contributing Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) The past month has been very busy for the Ocean City Beach Patrol and the surf rescue technicians who guard your beach. Due to increased wave action, we have seen a rise in rip current-related rescues and impact injuries. These impact injuries are caused when a swimmer or wader is thrown against the ocean bottom or beach by a powerful wave.

Types of injuries sustained may be minor such as abrasions, muscle strains and sprained joints, or injuries could be more severe in nature such as dislocations, fractures, or the more serious head, neck or back injuries. We have seen injuries such as these due to a naturally occurring condition known as shorebreak.

Before you can understand shorebreak, you need to understand a little bit about wave action and the contour of the ocean’s bottom (bathometry) close to shore. Bathometry, a term we learned while working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, refers to the contour of the ocean’s bottom.

Shorebreak has to do with the contour/ slope of the ocean floor close to shore as waves break.

A wave is a body of water moving along the surface of the ocean. It loses speed and gains height when it approaches the shore. As this happens, the depth of the water below the wave becomes increasingly shallower.

The size of the wave is affected by how strong the wind is, the direction from which it is blowing and tropical activity in the Atlantic. As tropical events form and approach the east coast, they cause large and sometimes rough surf, especially in late July and August. As a wave passes over the ocean bottom and the depth decreases, the energy of the wave is forced up until the wave can no longer maintain its form and it breaks (top of wave plunges forward). Depending on the tide and depth of the water, the waves may break on the sandbar causing the force of the wave to plunge into the deeper trough. This is the type of wave that is appropriate for body surfing or body boarding because the wave is crashing or breaking onto water that has sufficient depth.

However, during high tide, the depth of the water over the sandbar will allow the wave to continue toward the beach, building in size until it eventually runs out of water depth as it arrives on the beach. When this happens, the wave will break on the shoreline with all of its crushing force. This is what we call shore-

break and consequently, swimmers in shorebreaks land directly on the sand.

Landing on wet sand is no more forgiving than landing on concrete. These waves are unpredictable and dangerous because they can cause serious shoulder, neck and spinal injuries to even the most experienced swimmer. The beach patrol recommends that you never attempt to ride waves that are breaking on the shore or play in the impact zone (the area where the force of the wave is being delivered).

Although the beach patrol treats even the most minor injury to the head (abrasion on foreheads, bloody noses, etc.) as though it were a life and death spinal cord injury, most turn out to be minor muscular injuries rather than more serious fractures. Of the suspected head/neck and spinal injuries we respond to, 60 percent are caused by swimmers who ride a wave See SIXTY on Page 67

Females of all ages invited to help break world record bikini parade Continued from Page 49

“They just raised the bar,” Hoffman said of the Chinese. “Our goal has always been 2,012 and we’d still like to achieve that goal. We hope to bring the record back home.”

The first 450 women to register for the Ocean City event will receive an inaugural beach bag with the Uptown Beach Bash logo. There is no cost to participate. Businesses and organizations are encouraged to sponsor bikini teams.

“Grab your family, friends, coworkers.

It’s open to moms, daughters, aunts and grandmas. It’s for all ages,” Hoffman said.

As of Monday, approximately 150

ladies had pre-registered online.

The parade will begin on the beach in front of the hotel at 3 p.m. It will end at the Carousel Hotel on 118th Street. To break the record, more than 1,086 women must register to walk the 1.5-mile route.

All participants are required to walk the entire course to break the record. The Travel Channel is scheduled to film the world-record attempt.

“It’s a chance to put Ocean City on the map,” Pappas said. “If the weather is good, this will be a huge success.”

Pappas said the Greene Turtle will have a team of ladies walking in the parade.

Once the last female crosses the finish line there will be a celebration on the beach until 6 p.m., followed by a luau party and pig roast at the Blue Ox on 127th Street, where there will be food and drink specials, photos and awards.

On Sunday, Northside Park on 125th Street will be the location for the “Local Palooza” art and music festival, beginning at noon. This free event will feature entertainment from 10 bands, including Electric Company, Aaron Howell, Full Circle, Bryan Russo, Monkee Paw, Blake Haley, Hot Sauce Sandwich, Fallen Down 20, Lower Class Citizens and wrapping up the festival will be Mary Lou and the Un-

touchables with a 7 p.m. show. Local artists will also be displaying and selling their work during the event, and there will be activities for children. Monster Energy BMX team members will demonstrate their skills during the “Local Palooza.”

Uptown Beach Bash main sponsors are Ocean City, The Original Greene Turtle, Blue Ox, Great Scott Broadcasting, Princess Royale, Carousel Hotel and BJ’s on the Water. Donations for Relay for Life, Diakonia and the Surfrider Foundation will be accepted at all events.

No matter which half of the Twin Capes you’re on, there’s always more to see and explore waiting on the other side. And there’s no better way to get there than the Cape May–Lewes Ferry.

There’s more to food consumption than taste and hunger satisfaction FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Teeth, gums are intricate part of this delicate process DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer (Aug. 24, 2012) The spectrum of culinary topics is infinite; diversified subjects keep one’s interest peaked. That being said, gastronomic enthusiasts should explore all areas that pertain to the art of “consumption.” Our teeth and gums are an intricate part of this delicate process and food has a direct correlation on the natural preservation or deterioration.

A healthy, bright smile is a reflection of well-being and happiness. According to a survey by American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, most adults (99.7 percent) be-

lieve a salubrious smile is important and (74 percent) feel an attractive smile is an asset in the professional world.

Pearly, white teeth also reduce the appearance of one’s age.

Professional whitening is more popular than ever and is quite pricey. But for those whose budget does not include cosmetic procedures, do not fret. Certain foods naturally cleanse and whiten one’s teeth. You may not get the results that Orbit chewing gum proclaims, but the effort will certainly pay off.

The malic acid in strawberries removes surface discoloration. Simply crush the strawberries to a pulp, then mix with baking soda until blended. Spread the mixture onto your teeth and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove and brush thor-

oughly with toothpaste. Applying the strawberry mixture more than once a week may damage the enamel on your teeth.

According to an article published in Nutrition and You, pineapples contain bromelain, which acts as a natural stain remover and also helps break up plaque.

Pineapple is so versatile and easily parlays with sweet or savory components.

The luscious, sweet fruit also makes a refreshing cocktail. Knowing the full potential of foods allows one to create menus with a different approach.

Ginger is an herb that is of intrinsic value. The aromatic, pungent rhizome not only adds pizzazz to a dish, but is also equally known for its medicinal properties. Ginger contains very potent anti-inflammatory compounds; strong teeth depend on healthy gums.

Adding foods such as carrots, celery,

apples, and nuts requires one to chew often, effectively removing food left behind. Carrots are also a great source of vitamin A, which is healthy for tooth enamel.

Carrots and celery sticks instantly take me back to my childhood. Mother packed our lunches to help save money. Wheeling and dealing was a common practice during lunchtime. Trying to trade carrot and celery sticks for chips and cupcakes was not an easy task. Looking back, it was a good thing — 54 years without a cavity is impressive.

Thanks, mom, for your love and wisdom.

Shitake is my all-time favorite mushroom. The delectable fungus proudly displays her desirable top. Do not discard the lanky stems, for they make a wonderful addition to stocks and soups. Shitake are also known as the “Elixir of Life,” due

Company and chompers will appreciate chutney of pineapple, ginger FOOD FOR THOUGHT to its medicinal properties. Again, antibacteria and anti-cancer compounds promote healthy gums.

Dairy products are rich in protein and calcium, which help neutralize the acids in your mouth and strengthen your teeth.

If you cannot brush after a meal, consider eating a small piece of cheese.

Knowledge imparts confidence, which strengthens one’s ability to expand from the “normal” menu planning. We will soon be saying adieu to the summer and bonjour to the fall. Chutney is adaptable and can be made to accompany any dish.

It can also be served hot or cold.

Pineapple-ginger chutney with undertones of currants, red bell peppers and jalapenos parlays beautifully with charcoaled, crusty meats. Pork tenderloins, hotdogs, hamburgers, flank steaks and fresh tuna are just a few examples of foods that will pair delightfully with the sweet, savory condiment.

The element of “surprise” is not just for the young at heart. Pineapple-ginger chutney can be made in advance, which is always beneficial. The fragrant, peppery side dish will not only be relished by your guests, but your teeth will say “thank you.”

Sixty percent of beach injuries caused by people who ride waves incorrectly ON GUARD Continued from Page 52

into shore incorrectly, and the other 40 percent are caused by swimmers diving into shallow water or doing tricks such as flips and striking their head or neck on the ocean floor.

Be assured that when the need arises, the Ocean City Beach Patrol is ready to respond. We have worked with trauma doctors to develop a specialized technique to manage suspected head, neck and back injuries. Although every surf rescue technician is trained and skilled in the use of these techniques, it is far better for our beach patrons to have injuries prevented rather than treated. When body surfing, we recommend doing so with your head up and your arms out in front of the body to protect yourself. If using a boogie board, make sure you keep it out in front of you to prevent your head from hitting the shore (ride on the back half).

Taking responsibility for your own actions and spreading caution about spinal cord injuries is the greatest form of prevention we have. Many people just do not realize that wet sand is just as unyielding

as concrete — the impact of your head, neck or back with the beach could affect the bones of the spinal column, which causes the damage and possible paralysis.

Most people would never think of attempting a flip in the middle of a parking lot for fear of striking the ground. However, many of these same individuals will attempt these aerial maneuvers on the beach or into a few inches of ocean water.

Please, use your head to protect your spine, and think before diving or riding breaking waves onto the beach. Have fun, but remain safe! The beach patrol reminds you to always check water depth before diving. Our saying is, “ Feet first, first time,” which is to remind you to walk out into the surf rather than running and diving.

To learn more about shorebreak visit our Web site, www.ococean.com/ocbp, click on the safety button and then the shorebreak video. This video has some of the best graphic images to help explain shorebreak that I have ever seen. You can also get current information about the beach patrol as well as daily stats and current beach conditions by following the beach patrol on Twitter or “like us” on our official OCBP Facebook page.

Sometimes people exit the water after being tossed by a wave and later experience neck pain once they get back to their blanket. A friend or family member will summon the lifeguard. The guard will immediately start the stabilization technique and maintain stabilization until paramedics arrive and take over patient care.

ACTORS VISIT KIWANIS Kiwanis Club member J. Graham Caldwell, known to many as Jack Caldwell, has been working in Salisbury as a main character in filming a pilot production about the interaction of a black family with a white family in the 1930s South called “House of Crispin.” He recently arranged for his fellow actors to speak with club members during the Aug. 15 meeting of Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City. Pictured, from left, are Caldwell, who plays Millard Crispin; actor Jessie McCarthy; veteran Hollywood actor Tom Moses, who wrote, directs and co-produces the project; actor Leayre Horton; and co-producer Anna Wallop. Moses, born and raised in Salisbury, explained that he wanted to return home to make this film. During his life, he has earned three honorable discharges from the military. While stationed in California, he developed a dream to become an actor and he pursued it with vigor. He’s worked with actors such as Sidney Portier and Sylvester Stallone.

Ingersoll dated January 31, 2007 and recorded in Liber 4865, Folio 447 among the Land Records of Worcester Co., MD, with an original principal balance of $650,000.00 and an original interest rate of 6.630% default having occurred under the terms thereof, the Sub. Trustees will sell at public auction at the Circuit Court for Worcester Co., at the Court House Door, Snow Hill, on SEPTEMBER 5, 2012 AT 2:00 PM ALL THAT FEE-SIMPLE LOT OF GROUND, together with any buildings or improvements thereon situated in Worcester Co., MD and more fully described in the aforesaid Deed of Trust.

The property, and any improvements thereon, will be sold in an “as is” condition and subject to conditions, restrictions and agreements of record affecting the same, if any, and with no warranty of any kind.

Terms of Sale: A deposit of $78,000 in cash, cashiers check or certified check is required at time of sale. Balance of the purchase price, together with interest on the unpaid purchase money at the current rate contained in the Deed of Trust Note from the date of sale to the date funds are received by the Sub. Trustees, payable in cash within ten days of final ratification of the sale by the Circuit Court. There will be no abatement of interest due from the purchaser in the event additional funds are tendered before settlement. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR THE PURCHASER. Adjustment of current real property taxes will be made as of the date of sale and thereafter assumed by the purchaser. All past due property taxes paid by the purchaser. All other public and/or private charges or assessments, including water/sewer charges, ground rent, whether incurred prior to or after the sale to be paid by the purchaser.

In any such event, this sale shall be null and void, and the Purchaser’s sole remedy, in law or equity, shall be the return of the deposit without interest. If purchaser fails to settle within 10 days of ratification, the Sub. Trustees may file a motion to resell the property. If Purchaser defaults under these terms, deposit shall be forfeited. The Sub. Trustees may then resell the property at the risk and cost of
