They beat FEMA on their own Do-it-yourself appeal reverses original flood insurance designation

JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

A tug boat keeps dredge lines stable against the current at the edge of the east channel, where an Army Corps of Engineers contractor is preparing to piece together equipment that will be used to deepen channels behind Assateague and Ocean City and to rebuild an island in the bay off 33rd Street.

Dredging up the past That’s literally what the Army Corps is doing, as it clears channels and rebuilds island

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) Although it sounds like a scenario more fit for Dubai, Ocean City will have a new, man-made island – courtesy of the federal government – by next year.

In a change of pace from last year’s dredging, which took place on the ocean side of the resort, the coming off-season will see two major projects from both city and federal contractors taking place in the bayside waterways.

Contractors hired by the Army Corps of Engineers arrived in the area last week in preparation for a $5.5 million dredging project that will clear federally-regulated channels in the Ocean City and Assateague areas, and place the errant sand back onto eroded islets,.

“The material from the Isle of Wight will be place on the remnants of Collier Island, or what used to be Collier Is-

land, most of which has been eroded away,” said Danielle Szimanski, Project Manager for the Corps.

“The goal is to re-create the bird habitat in the same footprint as what had been there years ago,” Szimanski said of the island, formerly located off 33rd Street.

The Corps’ contractor is currently using the site of the former Cropper’s Concrete plant, just north of the Route 50 Bridge, as a staging area to assemble the large volume of pipe needed to transfer the material being pumped from the floor of the bay to the locations where it is needed.

“What you’re seeing right now is our contractor getting his pipes fitted together, getting everything set up so that when the time comes he can get his pipe in the water and down to where we need to dredge,” Szimanski said. “The pipe comes in 500-foot sections and has to be fused together by hand. It’s going to take a while.”

Further, the Town of Ocean City is ready to embark on a long-awaited, See AN ISLAND Page 5

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) Not very often do you hear of someone fighting a federal agency at its own game, and winning – but a group of north Ocean City property owners appear to have achieved a partial victory.

An appeal by a group of north-end buildings against the Federal Emergency Management agency’s new flood map revisions has resulted ‘They in two of basically those buildings being came back pulled from and said they the higherwould rerisk “AO” designate our flood designation and building and into the “X” one other zone, meanbuilding on ing cheaper, 143rd as ‘X’ non-compulzones,.’ sory flood insurance for owners.

“They basically came back and said they would re-designate our building [on 146th Street] and one other building on 143rd as ‘X’ zones,” said Ron Deacon, President of the owners’ board at the Ocean Place condominium.

“The reason, they said, was that they had looked again at the data and the elevation of our building was above 12 feet, which is what they were using as a criteria,” Deacon said.

“We did get the chance to see the model they used, and it was surprising how accurate See DO-IT-YOURSELF Page 6

Small measures add up to $200K savings in energy for Worcester Co. schools

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) Worcester County’s public schools are cutting costs one light switch at a time.

It might seem trivial, but small measures such as flipping a switch saved about $200,000 in electricity last year — around 10 percent of the 14 district schools’ power bill, said Chief Financial Officer Vince Tolbert.

About $60,000 of those savings are going back into the 11 schools that cut their costs, he said.

“We just looked at what we use and what we do on a daily basis to really try to cut into it,” said Tom Sites, principal at Berlin Intermediate School that cut its electric costs by more than 20 percent last school year.

Since the board of education passed down the power-saving plan to the schools two years ago, BIS has taken measures from turning off the lights in empty classrooms to leaving the blinds up and lights off on sunny days, turning off drink machines during evening hours and on weekends and leaving the lights dimmed until students arrive in the morning.

“It’s adding everything up, really,”

Sites said.

There was no formal list of measures going into the energy-saving project, he said, so it became a trialand-error process. Some measures, such as turning off lights in certain part of the hallways, didn’t work.

“We made safety our most important factor. We didn’t want to do anything that would make it unsafe for light or (affect) instruction,” he said.

The initiative is “more than just

‘That’s less money that have we have to ask the county commissioners to provide.’

Board of Education Vice President Jonathan Cook electricity,” said Cedar Chapel Special School Principal Belinda Gulyas.

“In each classroom, students’ job is to make sure the lights are off when they leave,” she said. “We’re having a great time doing it.”

The Snow Hill school came second in savings last school year behind BIS, boasting more than an 18 percent reduction in its electric bill. The school will use the kickback for inhouse improvements, Gulyas said.

“Students in wheelchairs have a lot of trouble accessing a whiteboard, so we are looking into buying a cart that

tilts the whiteboard so students can access it,” Gulyas said. “There’s a big incentive to it, so we’re working on it.”

Once the initiative was passed down from the county board of education, it reached staff through meetings and conversations and became a type of competition, she said.

“We started in the top five (energysaving schools) last year and once we got that award, we tried even harder,” she said. “Because there’s an incentive for it… it really has become a game around here.”

While each school sees part of its electric bill savings come back, the board of education retains the rest, helping offset costs like maintenance for aging buildings and transportation, Tolbert said.

“That’s less money that have we have to ask the county commissioners to provide,” Board of Education Vice President Jonathan Cook said.

“It’s innovation and it’s what we need right now.”

“The kids are getting excited about it,” Tolbert added, promising the program will continue this school year.

BIS plans to us its $12,000 check to purchase more technology, helping meet the one-to-one goal of having one device for each student.

“It benefits everybody,” Sites said.

“The county saves, the kids get more technology. It’s a win-win.”

“We’re waiting on our contractor to mobilize,” said City Engineer Terry McGean. “There was some delay in getting the equipment down from Baltimore, but we’re looking to get started any day now.”

The federal government, via the Army Corps, controls and maintains a number of water lanes throughout the county that have been deemed vital to commerce and national security. Most of these jurisdictions were put in place over a century ago, predating many state and local agencies that would otherwise be responsible for them.

The town had allocated $500,000 last budget year to canal dredging, but was unable to get the project planned in time to have work completed by this past spring.

“You can’t dredge between April 1 and June 30 because of summer flounder, and obviously we can’t dredge in the peak of summer because of traffic issues,” McGean said.

“By the time we got the contract set up last year, the summer flounder moratorium was already in place.”

But with arrangements ready to go this year, the city expects to not only get last year’s dredging allotment done before April 2015, but also an additional $250,000 of work allocated in the current year’s budget.

Do-it-yourself FEMA appeal (mostly) works Continued from Page 1 their post-storm profile was to what we had actually found up at the north end of town after Irene and Sandy,” said City Engineer Terry McGean.

Over this past winter, Deacon and many other north-end residents discovered that they wouldn’t be receiving quite the break they thought they would under the National Flood Insurance Program, which FEMA administers.

In 2012, Congress authorized a reform of the NFIP, which was losing billions of dollars due to relatively high flood damage payouts in areas where policy premiums were relatively low. This involved FEMA re-mapping the flood-risk zones which determine a property’s level of coverage.

system,” McGean said.

The main issue with the area near the Ocean Place, McGean noted, is the reverse littoral drift caused by the Indian River Inlet. On the East Coast, currents typically move north-to-south, taking sand with them. But at points where seawater flows inland, the drift is pulled toward the inlet, creating a sort of vacuum just south of the site.

“That’s primarily what all the research has shown as to why we have a hot spot there,” McGean said. “One current is going north [toward the inlet] and the other is going south, and nothing’s coming back in.”

But despite the weakness of their location, Deacon and his neighbors were not fully convinced that they were at risk.

Although willing to help, the city was reluctant to assume the liability of doing the appeal itself, and suggested that property owners in the affected area hire their own consultant to contest FEMA’s ruling – which is exactly what they did.

“I provided them with a whole bunch of data that we had, and their consultant used that data and some additional information he had to create the appeal,” McGean said.

“The problem is that when you’re working with FEMA, your hands are tied,” Deacon said. “They’re very formal, and they tell you that you have to submit evidence to prove them wrong.

After a while, you just don’t want to spend any more money on throwing stuff at them.”

But Deacon and his neighbors turned out to be right.

“If your dune is a certain size, they use one formula, and if it’s smaller, they use a different formula,” Deacon said. “Ours just barely did not meet the criteria, so when they did their calculations it looked like the water would breach the dunes.”

“But in that case, they’re supposed to factor in building elevation. When we did the appeal, they came back and said ‘yes, it will breach, but you’re above 12 feet so you’re actually okay.”

However, only two buildings were found to have the requisite height. A second appeal was filed to have the whole three blocks re-zoned, but it was denied.

“It looks strange to have two buildings carved out, but I guess that’s how it’s going to be,” Deacon said. “We could probably spend thousands arguing this, but after a while it’s not worth the flood insurance premium we would save.”

In “V” and “AO” zones, property owners who still have mortgages are required to purchase flood insurance.

Not only are rates lower in an “X” zone, but insurance is not required even for those with mortgages.”

“We still plan to have flood insurance for the whole building, because we believe in it,” Deacon said.

The proposed maps, once all appeals have been processed, will be finalized by FEMA for adoption by state and local agencies.

Ufholz third newcomer for OC council race Three non-incumbents vying for four open seats; Martin, Ashley have yet to declare

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) As of press time this week, Ocean City had picked up one more candidate for the 2014 election – but still doesn’t have enough to fill all of November’s vacant seats.

Philip Ufholz, a retired attorney who formerly wrote tax law for the federal government, is the third person to file in a race for what are now four open seats on City Council.

was the Secretary of the Treasury during the second Reagan administration.

Ufholz was also the first president of the condo association at the Sea Terrace on 88th Street, where he has owned a unit since 1975. During the economic slump of the late 70s and early 80s, Ufholz negotiated “the biggest settlement up through that point” with banks who had taken over unfinished condo projects from bankrupt developers.

“The banks took over and finished some of the builds. They hired contractors and didn’t pay them very much, so as you can imagine the construction was very slipshod,” Ufholz said. “Those of us who had already bought units were basically told to go away. So we sued, and won.”

DeLuca is a former executive for Kentucky Fried Chicken, who retired to live in Ocean City full-time five years ago, after having vacationed and owned property in the resort for most of his life. DeLuca currently serves on the town’s Board of Port Wardens.

Wow! What a Sunfest that turned into Annual four-day OC festival, now in its 40th year, draws 234,474 visitors to inlet lot

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) Sunfest brought a crowd of 234,474 through the inlet arch last weekend, slashing attendance records by thousands.

More than 300 arts and crafts exhibitors, food vendors and live bands greeted patrons during the four-day kick off to Ocean City’s “second season.” With its highest attendance ever, the festival brought nearly 47,000 more visitors through its inlet arch than it did last year and was well above the five-year average of 175,299 visitors.

“We had outstanding vendors, great entertainment, fabulous weather and the largest attendance in the event’s history,” said Frank Miller, director of Ocean City’s Special Events department. “It was a picture perfect weekend and an outstanding event for the Town of Ocean City.”

The free festival of food, music and shopping kicked off a picturesque early autumn weekend last Thursday with a parade down the Boardwalk, followed by an opening ceremony and ribbon cutting by local officials.

For the rest of the weekend, bands rocked the Sunfest stage, food vendors dished out delicacies and exhibitors peddled wares from under giant white tents in the inlet lot.

Headlining act Rick Springfield played to a sold-out crowd of 1,750 in the Comcast Entertainment Pavilion Saturday night. More than 1,500 purchased tickets to see the Righteous Brothers’ Bill Medley perform Thursday night and 1,444 paid to see country superstars Parmalee and Eric Paslay play Friday. Ticket sales were roughly comparable to 2013’s headlining act sales.

No one interviewed was sure why the crowds swelled quite so large this year, but all agreed the weather as a factor forcing Sunfest’s success.

“I think the weather definitely helped,” said Susan Jones, executive director for the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association. “It was a fantastic weekend — very strong.”

Annual Sunfest festival draws record crowds Continued from Page 9 rooms, approximately 60 percent sold out for the weekend, Jones said.

Business “was slightly higher than normal,” said Will Savage, manager of the Majestic Hotel on Seventh Street. The 52-room building on the boards filled its rooms Friday and Saturday and was about half-full Thursday, he said.

“This weekend, we’re typically just filling up on Saturday,” Savage said.

“I would say that’s all weatherbased.”

The Harrison Group booked more of its 1,455 hotel rooms during Sunfest this year than last, said Marketing and Advertising Director Cheryl Simmons. Friday and Saturday bookings left less than three percent of the hotels’ space available and on Sunday, Harrison’s hotels sold 166 more

rooms than in 2013.

“It was good weather, it was the end of the summer — a lot of people got out,” Simmons said, adding that the group bumped up its marketing slightly through social media, including Facebook posts and a blog article, and on its own website.

Demoflush numbers, which use wastewater usage to estimate the city’s population, showed a similar increase in town over 2013. Friday’s population was up 5 percent while Saturday and Sunday showed an increase of 2 percent over 2013.

One area that wasn’t up was bus ridership. With most of the inlet lot occupied by the festival takeover, parking is limited at Sunfest and the town encourages attendees to take one of several low-cost shuttles.

Visitors took about 1,000 fewer

rides this Sunfest Thursday through Sunday compared to those days last year, although about 2,000 more took the shuttle on Saturday, according to Ocean City Public Works Transportation Department numbers.

Sunfest has earned a number of accolades over the years, including the top spot in Sunshine Artist magazine’s annual 200 best shows list for 2014.

At least one vendor decided to try Sunfest for the first time this year based on those ratings.

“It is rated in all our trade magazines as the No. 1 show,” said Elaine Bond, who brought Not Sisters Two’s oneof-a-kind leather and fabric handbags to the show for the first time this year.

“We had an outstanding Sunfest,

celebrating the 40th anniversary with record-breaking crowds,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. “Our special events staff wanted to make the 40th anniversary a memorable one and thanks to a great weekend from Mother Nature and the hard work of our staff, that is exactly what they have done.”

The 41st annual Sunfest is slated for Sept. 24-27, 2015. For more information or to sign up to receive email updates from the Town of Ocean City’s Special Events department, visit www.oceancitymd.gov/Recreation_an d_Parks/specialevents.html.

Memorial service planned for Matt Haley this Sunday

(Sept. 26, 2014) A public memorial service for Sussex County restaurateur Matt Haley is planned for Sunday, Sept. 28.

Haley, a James Beard Award winner and noted humanitarian, passed away on Aug. 18 due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident while on a six-week humanitarian expedition through northern India and Nepal.

The Freeman Stage at 31750 Lake View Drive in Selbyville, Del. will host the two-hour outdoor “Matt Haley’s Celebration of Life” memorial beginning at 2 p.m.

Guests may bring non-perishable items for the Delaware Food Bank, a favorite charity of Haley’s. The service includes videos, speakers sharing stories and insights about Haley, and performances from local musicians.

A live webcast of the service will be viewable at www.freemanstage.org.

For more information call 302-4363015.

WCBI seeks help in identifying two theft suspects

(Sept. 26, 2014) The Worcester County Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public’s help to identify two suspects involved in the theft of a woman’s bank cards from the locker room at Powerhouse Gym in West Ocean City on Aug. 25.

Surveillance photos show the suspects using one of the woman’s bank cards at the PNC Bank in West Ocean City.

Any and all information pertaining to the suspects should be forwarded to Tfc. R. Keidel at 410-632-1111 or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776. A reward of up to $1,000 may be available for tips leading to the arrests of the suspects.

As early as Tuesday, the OCPD was already ticketing drivers for excessive camber and minimum headlight height, in anticipation of a growing number of vehicles arriving in town for the 15th annual H2O International car show in Whaleyville.

Annoying? But profitable This year, 45th Street Village will test waters with paid parking

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) For most area residents, the distinct sound of the H2O International rolling into town this week is somewhere between a Whoopee Cushion and a bagpiper with a respiratory infection.

But for an increasing number of local businesses, the VW- and Audi-centric car show is the sound of cash hitting the drawer.

And for the Ocean City Police Department, it’s the crisp sound of traffic violations being torn out of ticket books.

“I know a lot of people don’t like it and the town officials want to keep their distance,” said Jeff Burton, General Manager of the 45th

Street Village, whose parking lot has long been a de-facto congregation during the week leading up to the show.

“But I think this year is the start of us [the business community] trying to organize this event,” Burton said. “I’m trying to use it to build my business up, rather than just having them sit and take up all my parking.”

The show – known to enthusiasts as the H2Oi – will take place this weekend at the Fort Whaley Campground, the third iteration of the show to take place in Whaleyville and the 15th year for the show in Worcester County.

For nearly as many years, and again in 2014, Ocean City officials have stressed that they have no formal control over the event itself - even though the vast majority of particiSee WE Page 14

‘We have a fair number of places – breakfast place, pizza places – that are expecting a big weekend from the event.’

Susan Jones, Executive Director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association

ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY

What the police find to be excessive camber–identifiable by wheels tilted up into the body of the car, and tires riding on their inside edges–is seen as on-trend by many, as indicated by the stickers on this car.

Continued from Page 13 pants sleep, eat, and cruise the highway in town – and have treated the show with what is best described as skeptical optimism.

“The event, even though it’s not sanctioned by the city or organized in any way throughout town, certainly brings in a tremendous amount of people,” said Susan Jones, Executive Director of the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association.

“We have a fair number of places – breakfast place, pizza places – that are expecting a big weekend from the event,” Jones said.

The H2Oi is expected to again see about 17,000 to 18,000 attendees, according to show organizer Jay Shoup. But judging by the city’s demoflush numbers – which estimate population based on wastewater usage – many more people come into town just to hang out and cruise, and never even head out to Fort Whaley.

On the Saturday of the H2Oi last year, the city estimated 164,206 people in town. For comparison, OC BikeFest drew 202,275 on a Saturday last year,

and Cruisin’ 181,021.

The fact that the H2Oi is nearly as big as the resort’s flagship automotive events, but isn’t centralized within town, creates a headache for many property owners who find attendees loitering and setting up impromptu car shows in their parking lots.

This year, the Ocean City Police Department has re-introduced the Trespass Enforcement Authorization Program, which allows property owners to sign an affidavit authorizing police to enter their property on suspicion of trespassers, and take appropriate enforcement action. The TEAP initiative was specifically targeted at H2Oi. But for some businessmen, such as Burton, it’s an opportunity for a pivotal late-September shot of revenue.

“We’ve had them in our parking lot for the last two years, but it wasn’t organized. It turned into kind of a free-for-all,” Burton said. “I’ve never had any altercations with them or anything, there’s been no problem there, but it’s just the sheer mass of them.”

This year, the 45th Street VilSee POLICE Page 16

Police, businesses taking H2Oi more seriously Continued from Page 14 lage – which contains four restaurants owned by Sunsations founder Avi Sibony – will be charging for long-term parking. One day will be $20, two will be $30, and three will be $40, starting Thursday, Burton said.

Parking will also come with 20 percent off food and beverages at the restaurants. Staff are also working to organize vendor exhibits and activities.

“I’ve gotten some negative feedback from people, but also a lot of positive,” Burton said. “We police it well. I have a dozen security guys just for this. We don’t let them drink in the parking lot as best we can.”

But offenses such as open container violations pale in comparison to traffic citations.

According to OCPD data, officers

conducted 1,245 traffic stops from Thursday, Sept. 26 to Sunday, Sept.

29 for the 2013 H2Oi. This is 62.5 percent more traffic enforcement than the 766 stops done over the same span in 2012. For comparison, Bike Week last year saw 825 stops.

Critically, cars arriving for the H2Oi are extremely prone to violations of the state’s vehicle code.

While many modifications – such as extremely low suspensions – may be on-trend for show participants, they aren’t seen as admirably in the eyes of the law.

“One of the biggest things we are looking at again this year is excessive camber,” said OCPD Public Information Officer Lindsay O’Neal. “That is our biggest issue, again, because it is so unsafe and unfortunately very prevalent with this crowd.

“Camber” refers to the angle of a

vehicle’s tires relative to a perfect vertical plane. Most cars, with their suspension at rest, have no perceptible camber angle. But installing shorter shock absorbers in a car not made for them will pivot the wheels up via the joints that connect them to the vehicle’s axle, creating what is known as “negative camber,” something which is plainly visible when traveling behind a car whose tires appear to be flared out at an extreme angle.

While negative camber can provide better handling on tight corners, the fact that the car is riding only on the inside edges of the tires, and not their complete contact surface, reduces straight-line traction and the likelihood of skids.

The OCPD has been known to stop vehicles, and even have them towed, if officers believe the vehicle

is unfit for the road under the Maryland’s prohibition on “excessive camber.”

Cars lowered to this extent also typically violate Maryland’s 24-inch minimum for headlight height above the surface of the road.

But despite the problems with the vehicles themselves, the H2Oi participants are still spending money in town, and not causing many serious problems, at least comparatively.

Last year’s H2Oi had 54 arrests, including 10 DUIs. But while Bike Week had slightly less arrests, 51, 18 of those were DUIs. “I really would like to talk to the town and some of the other businesses for next year, and ask how we can make this event more a part of us,” Burton said. “They may say ‘we don’t want it,’ but I think this is a big opportunity.”

Request for hydraulic lifts was ill-received, now unnecessary sion, which will allow them to build the number and size of rooms required by Marriot’s franchise agreement.

Under the flagship’s design guidelines, the hotel must have a certain percentage of larger, higher-end VIP rooms. However, the city’s parking code requires one space for every hotel room under 500 square feet, and 1.5 spaces for anything larger, which is classified as a “hotel suite.”

“Basically, we’re asking for an exception to the extra half-space for every room over 500 square feet,” said Jeff Thaler of Atlantic Planning, Development, and Design.

Thaler noted that, in the Marriott’s case, the large rooms have the same sleeping accommodations, but are just larger floor plans.

Thus, the argument that will likely be presented to the BZA is that the city is requiring an extra half-space on these rooms simply because of their layout, and not because they hold any more people than a room that requires only a single space.

“They’re all exactly the same. According to Marriott’s code, they don’t require extra parking, but under the city’s code they’re just over the limit,” Thaler said.

Foundation work began earlier this summer at the proposed Marriott location, at the site of the old OC Health and Racquet Club. The lot is situated at the western end of 61st street along Sea Bay Lane, stretching between Route 90 to the north and the Trader’s Cove townhouses to the south.

Teacher who ‘hated’ subject wins top math honors Heher receives state’s top award from mathematics council for work in Wor. Co.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) A self-proclaimed language person, Rosemary Heher recently earned an unusual award.

The Coordinator of Mathematics Instruction for Worcester County Public Schools has been named the state’s math leader teacher of the year, making her the county’s first professional to receive the award from the Maryland Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

“I hated math,” said Heher, who’s held her position with the schools for 15 years. But that changed when she became a parent. The 1968 University of Maryland graduate didn’t re-

discovered her scorned subject until her daughter was three years old.

“I read about girls and math and I said to myself, ‘You have to come back,’” Hehre said. That’s when she contacted Dr. Donald Cathcart at Salisbury University.

“I said, ‘Do you think that somebody can relearn the math that they haven’t had in about 20 years?’” she said, “and he looked at me and he said, ‘Sit down.’”

No longer a student, Heher returned to Cathcart’s office each month for quizzes on new material until eventually he asked her to enroll in his calculus class.

After receiving As in two classes, Heher enrolled in a master’s program with Cathcart as her advisor.

“He saw something in me that I didn’t know I had,” she said. “I wouldn’t be here without him.”

She went on to teach classes from elementary school to college-level courses over her 28-year career, the last 15 of which have been strictly devoted to mathematics at Worcester County schools.

Cathcart was one of four Heher asked to write letters of recommendation when she received the nomination for the mathematics award earlier this year from Bill Barnes, coordinator of secondary mathematics for the Howard County Public Schools.

“The real surprise to me was the nomination,” she said. “Howard County is one of those big counties on the western shore and we’re a little county in rural Maryland.”

Heher also completed a multipage application, an essay on her experience as a math leader — which started with “grit, gravitas and grace” and ended with “gratitude” — and an outline of her success over the last three years to be eligible for the award.

“Yes, it’s a recognition. It’s a lifetime achievement award,” she said.

But “they’re not my successes.

They’re the district’s success.”

From past and present leaders and the teachers who implement, she acknowledged many factors that contribute to Worcester schools’ success.

Still, Heher has had a hand in many of those successes. Under her guidance, the schools have partnered with Salisbury University for consulting work on their math curricula.

She’s helped implement locally focused 500-level math courses for teachers seeking recertification and is part of the “Eastern Shore nine,” a group of Maryland supervisors who cooperate in everything from professional development to group textbook orders.

Part of her success teaching math, Heher said, came from her own struggles. As a college student, she

Candidates stress jobs, lack of state support County Commissioner forum unleashes criticism of fiscal treatment by Annapolis

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) When eight candidates for Worcester County Commissioner met at a political forum at the Ocean Pines Library last Wednesday, they did agree on two subjects: the local economy continues to need help and most residents who meet the age requirement don’t care enough to vote.

Also covered were the need for a new elementary school at Showell, the expansion of Route 589, the community’s share of proceeds from gambling revenues and state government’s apparent lack of concern about local problems.

At the forum were candidates from the northern and middle county districts: hopefuls Diana Purnell (District 2), Michael Maykrantz (District 3), Tom Wilson and Chip Bertino (District 5) and Joe Mitrecic (District 7) along with incumbents Bud Church (District 3), Virgil Shockley (District 4) and Jim Bunting (District 6).

Although the majority of the questions came from the audience, moderator and Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce Director Will Cathell got

the ball rolling, asking candidates The funny part, Shockley said, was how they would bring new full-time what made headlines the next day. jobs to the county.

“I stood up and basically said the Many of the candidates used the Eastern Shore of Maryland was a opportunity to tout Worcester County third-world country,” he said. “And Economic Development Director Bill they publicized that.

“Having sat in the commissioner’s room for the past four or five years, there isn’t a commissioner up there who hasn’t brought 589 to the forefront anytime they had an opportunity to talk to state highway administration,” said Bertino. “We’re looking at about a $330 million dollar project, but there is absolutely no money for the project.”

Bertino conceded that the dualization could take another 20-25 years to complete.

“The commissioners have pushed to have 589 looked at and widened, and I can tell you that as a commissioner myself if elected in November I will join them in pushing as best we can,” he said. “But quite truthfully, we need the help of our state legislators to help get the money down here.”

Wilson said the very first item on his agenda was urging action on 589.

“Every time I go out on 589 it gets frustrating,” he said. “We need to do better. We say, ‘We can’t do it,’ but of course we can. We need to use all our resources to talk to the state to promote this as an urgent matter.”

As for using local money, Church said highway user fees that pass from the state to the county have sunk from $5.5 million to $249,000.

“You tell me how a county with about 3 (000) or 4,000 miles of roads can maintain their roads and build a new one in Worcester County – it can’t be done,” he said. “What we need is a change at the state to stop taking county monies to put in the general fund to fund a deficit they can’t afford. That’s where it has to stop.”

Mitrecic said the county “dropped the ball” by not demanding improvements when the casino was built.

“They would have jumped through a ring of fire to put it there,” he said.

“I believe the county at that point in time dropped the ball by not making them dualize the south end of 589.”

Bunting said the state projected zero spending on the project from 2014-2030.

“You people need to put people (at the state) that are going help us get what we need to get done,” he said.

Asked about the new $43 million Showell Elementary School, Purnell said she placed education over highway expansion.

“We need that school regardless of whether we’re going to widen that highway or not,” she said. “Our kids should not be going to school in substandard buildings.”

“The county commissioners have been very, very frugal,” Church said.

“I think they’re probably the most conservative county commissioners in the state. We’re not going to build a school that we cannot afford.”

Because of their cautious spending, Church promised the commissioners would not raise taxes in order to pay for the school.

“We’ve been very conservative and we’ve put money aside,” he said.

‘The state requires us to spend a lot of money that I think is unnecessary for these buildings. We don’t need to build Taj Mahal..’

Jim Bunting (District 6) “There will not be a tax increase to you or anyone else because of the way that we’ve managed our money.”

Bertino said he had three children who attended Showell Elementary.

“Each of our three kids was in one of those nine trailers that are out back,” he said. “We need a new school.”

While he backed the idea of the school, Bertino questioned the price tag.

“The cost is about $40 million dollars – that seems like a lot for 555 students,” he said. “I want to see a new school, but I would very much like to see an accountability for $40 million.

It seems to me that we can build a school for less money. We don’t need it to be fancy. We don’t need children who are going to classrooms to have wild designs on the walls or marble on the floors.”

Bunting spoke with officials in North Carolina who said their new high school cost $57 million – and held 2,500 students.

“The state requires us to spend a lot of money that I think is unnecessary for these buildings,” he said. “We don’t need to build Taj Mahal.”

“We need to get our children out of trailers,” Mitrecic said. “I agree the price tag might be a little high … but the school needs to be replaced.”

Keith Keyser, an Ocean Pines resident who moved from the West Coast six months ago, asked if the commissioners could do something to encourage more medical provisions in the county, specifically primary care physicians.

Church empathized.

“My wife is from Connecticut,” he said. “Her primary care doctor – is in Connecticut.”

When his wife recently took a spill, he said he had to call in a favor to have her seen.

“I can tell you the hospital is working diligently to bring in additional physicians,” Church said. “In West Ocean City there’s going to be two new facilities with primary care doctors, so they’re working on that every day. There’s new doctors coming in.”

“You’ve been here six months and

haven’t been able to find a primary – we’ve been here 25 years and have had that same difficulty,” Bertino said. “It’s not a problem that’s new to the area.”

Grant Helvey, who ran against Bertino for the District 5 Republican nomination, said he recently learned that 65 percent of graduating students from Worcester County high schools who enrolled in Wor-Wic Community College were required to take remedial courses.

“We get told as county commissioners, ‘It’s none of your business – it’s the school board’s,’” Shockley said. “I will say to you that those numbers are correct and it’s English and math that are the two things that are tripping them up.”

“That question really should be asked of the board of education,” Bertino said. “I think that we need to apply pressure to the board of education, because they’re responsible for the education of our kids. And our superintendent – quite truthfully – works for them, not the other way around.”

Church said the blame belongs at the top.

“During the time that I was in education … our country was in the top 10 in providing education to our children nationwide,” he said. “We have dropped out of the top 30 in the world. That’s where the problem lies.

“I think our nation is lowering its standards,” Church continued. “It’s not the county that’s doing that – it’s not our local board of education – it’s our national leaders. They want this country to appear that they’re doing much better than they are. You need to start at the top.”

“When they said, ‘no child left behind’ they started screwing things up real good,” Purnell said. “I’m concerned about the sign at Stephen Decatur (that reads) ‘a world class school system.’ It’s not world class if we’ve got to take remedial classes at Wor-Wic.” Ocean Pines Association Board of Directors President Dave Stevens asked the members of the forum if See HOPEFULS Page 26

Hopefuls seek support in low-interest election Continued from Page 25 they believed the current distribution of funds from the Ocean Downs casino was fair.

“Right now that money is divided 60 percent Worcester County, 20 percent Ocean City, 10 percent Berlin, 10 percent Ocean Pines,” said Bunting. “The money is to help the impact caused by the casino.”

Bunting said gaming commission officials were unclear about future funds coming from the proposed addition of table games.

“We don’t know if we’re going to get one penny,” he said. “We’re asking for an answer from the gaming commission.”

Shockley said the commissioners had little control over the matter.

“That’s not our call,” he said. “That bill would have to be amended at the state level.”

Cathell asked how each candidate would work with the state to help the economy in Worcester County.

“I’d secede from the state,” Church quipped.

Shockley added that the state was endangering the poultry industry.

“The stupidest idea that’s ever been placed was the 5 cent chicken tax,” he said. “It shows you the level of not caring about the Eastern Shore. And you just scream, you scream some more, and you do what we did with Routes 12 and 113 and

basically they just got tired of us.

After five letters and all the screaming, at some point someone will blink.”

Bertino called for the voters to help the commissioners.

“It’s not just a county commissioner problem – it’s not just a legislator problem – it’s all of our problem,” he said. “All of us have a responsibility to make darn sure that

“Next year they’re taking another $300 million out,” he said. “We cut, we cut, we cut, not raising taxes because we all work together. We have Democrats and we have Republicans, and you have one of the best county commissioners – in my humble opinion – in the country. Our problem is not at the local level – our problem is at the state level. You can’t tax your way out of a recession and you can’t

Asked about voter turnout, Church said people have lost interest.

“They feel like they don’t have a voice,” he said. “That’s really sad.”

Wilson noted that the OPA televises its board meetings and called for the same treatment with county commissioner’s meetings.

“We need more transparency,” he said. “We need to do better. We need to make sure that people do have a voice that we hear, and we understand their concerns.”

Mitrecic said many young people do not have time to vote.

“They’re out there trying to make a living,” he said. “They’re trying to raise their children and do everything else they can for their families. They don’t have time for these forums and they don’t have time to vote, and that’s what’s sad. They feel disenfranchised. They feel like their vote doesn’t matter anyway, so why show up.

“You have to talk to your neighbors,” Mitrecic continued. “You have to talk to your friends. You have to remind them. There’s so many opportunities to vote in this country now that there’s no reason for a person over the age of 18 to not vote. It’s up to people in the communities.”

“My mother lived to be 88 years old,” Shockley said. “She died Oct. 30, 2008 and she voted in that primary because it was her obligation to.

And that’s what you’re missing.”

Shockley said only 18 percent of voters turned out in his district during the last primary.

“People will call you up and complain about a lot of things, but never take the time to vote,” he said.

Early voting runs Oct. 23-30, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 4. Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Harper & Sons to build county rec center addition State funds 6,300 sq. foot, $1.3M project to expand facilities near Snow Hill

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) An Easton construction company will build the 6,300-square-foot addition to the Worcester County Recreation Center in Snow Hill.

Harper & Sons got the nod from the Worcester County Commissioners last week for their $1.31 million bid, but Commissioner Madison Bunting prefered Harkins Contracting of Salisbury, which bid $1.39 million. For an additional $70,000 or so, the county might get a better company, Bunting said.

Paige Hurley, director of Recreation and Parks, said Harper & Sons’ references were contacted and all provided positive comments. The company, which has 46 years of experience in the construction industry, was recently awarded a building renovation at Salisbury University through the Maryland bid process and approved by the Maryland Board of Public Works. It is also working at the Motor Vehicle Administration in Salisbury.

Because Harper & Sons has not worked for Worcester County, commisioners asked Becker Morgan Group, Inc., an architectural and engineering firm in Salisbury, to provide information for consideration in awarding the contract.

“After careful consideration and comparison of all bids received, Becker Morgan Group, Inc., concludes that Harper & Sons, Inc., is a responsive and responsible bidder, and that they have provided a very fair and reasonable price for this project,” wrote Jason Pearce, a senior associate at Becker Morgan, to the county commissioners.

The 6,300-square-foot addition will go on the east side of the existing recreation center and its façade will match the existing façade.

The main vestibule at the recreation center will be the entrance for the addition.

The after-school program in the front lobby will move to the new area.

Zumba and aerobics, which are held in a corner of the existing gym or on the main court, will also move to the new space.

The new area will also provide space for storage, laundry facilities and workout equipment such as elipticals and treadmills.

During its meeting Sept. 17 in Annapolis, the Board of Public Works approved funding $573,389 for the project through Project Open Space.

The county previously received $661,356 for this project from the state. Additional funding might be secured through Program Open Space if needed.

COUNTY BRIEFS

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following topics and took the following actions during their Sept. 16 meeting in Snow Hill.

Volunteer services The commissioners approved the request of Volunteer Services Manager Kelly Brinkley to submit an application for a grant from the Governor’s Office on Service and Volunteerism, which administers federal funds.

The Volunteer Generation Fund grant seeks to fund volunteer centers in Maryland to engage and expand volunteer recruitment and retention to address community issues with skilled volunteers.

Brinkley is applying for a $25,000 grant with an in-kind match of 50 per-

cent, but no cash is required from the county.

Brinkley said the goal is to increase the number of volunteers. She is working with ninth-graders at Pocomoke High School to find places for them to do their service learning requirement. She wants to connect small nonprofits and students. Grant funds will also be used for a website.

The grant is competitive, but Brinkley said she represents the only volunteer center without an online presence.

Cancer awareness The commissioners proclaimed the month of October National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and encouraged residents to visit www.makingstrideswalk.org/oceancitymd to learn more about and support the 2014 Pink Ribbon Classic events tak-

ing place locally throughout the month.

The events are designed to promote education and awareness about breast cancer.

WOC boat slips The commissioners approved the two bids received for two 75-foot-long boat slips at the commercial harbor in West Ocean City.

They awarded the two-year leases to Earl R. Gwin for his boat, “Skilligalee,” and to James Hahn, for his boat, “Allison.”

Gwin bid $4,800 per year and Hahn bid $5,500 per year. The total for the two-year leases is $10,300.

Sludge drying The commissioners approved bid documents for the replacement of

The cost for the construction project is estimated to be between $150,000 and $250,000.

The Public Works Department will proceed with getting bids for the work.

Recycling hearing The commissioners scheduled an Oct. 7 public hearing on an amendment to the county’s 10-year solid waste management plan.

The amendment is required in compliance with a state bill, which became effective October 2012, that requires counties to update such plans to incorporate provisions of the law and to develop a component with that plan to encourage people in apartments and condominiums to recycle.

They recently voted not to enforce the penalty provisions in the bill.

They also scheduled an Oct. 21 public hearing on an amendment to the county’s water and sewer plan to add two outfalls and an increase in the discharge permit flow for the Mystic Harbour Sanitary Service Area.

MD funds building via ‘Program Open Space’ initiative Continued from Page 27 “For nearly eight years, we have made it our continued mission to ensure Maryland families have access to the best possible recreation opportunities,” Gov. Martin O’Malley said in a press release about funds for recreational areas in Worcester, Carroll and Charles counties. “The Program Open Space projects put in place today are just another step toward ensuring every citizen can safely and easily enjoy the great outdoors.”

The Board of Public Works also awarded Worcester County $17,000 to replace existing structural support columns at John Walter Smith Park with a 24-by-48-foot pavilion.

Charles County will receive $630,000 to use for the Port Tobacco Park acquisition. The county previously received $305,000 in Program Open Space funds for this project.

Carroll County will receive $5,850 to replace the existing outdated playground equipment at the Beach Park Tot Lot with play equipment consistent with National Playground Safety Standards and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Gov. O’Malley, Treasurer Nancy Kopp and Comptroller Peter Franchot will comprise the three-member Board of Public Works. The board is authorized by the General Assembly to approve major construction and consultant contracts, equipment purchases, property transactions and other procurement actions.

BLC quashes pitch for bar inside Dollar Store Security concerns, lack of parking cited by neighbor against tavern proposal

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) You can’t shoehorn a bar into every business in Ocean City - even a dollar store.

Lack of public need, parking issues, alcohol violations, multiple police calls and the alleged absence of the owner convinced the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners last week to deny a request for the OC Dollar Store to have a bar and to-go liquor sales.

Not a single person spoke in favor of the request of OC Dollar Store owner Walid Saleh, noted BLC Chairman William E. Esham, during the board’s Sept. 17 meeting.

Further, 28 businesses from the inlet to Ninth Street have liquor licenses and about six of those already have the privilege to sell liquor to-go.

But attorney Mark Cropper, representing Saleh, said no establishments south of Eighth Street sell liquor to-go

after Oct. 31. There are limited places selling liquor at a bar, Cropper said.

The Bearded Clam is open some winter weekends, the Angler closes in mid-October, M.R. Ducks is closed for about six months, and the Harbor Inn “has a certain uniqueness to it and a certain clientele,” Cropper said.

He theorized that people who might not feel comfortable at the Harbor Inn - also known as the Bloody Bucket - might feel more comfortable drinking liquor at the OC Dollar Store, which would keep its tavern open year-round.

The OC Dollar Store, located in the former Western Auto store on Philadelphia Avenue and Second Street, sells grocery items, cigarettes, beach toys and beer and wine. Saleh wanted to add a small kitchen area and a bar with 15 seats, plus another 10 seats along the wall. The proposed entrance to the Dollar Store’s tavern would be in an adjacent alley. A door from the retail portion of the business would also lead to the proposed tavern.

Saleh said he never had parking problems in front of his store and he

only recalled one problem with a delivery truck, a Pepsi truck which parked on Philadelphia Avenue one time.

Parking for customers would not be an issue because 80 to 85 percent of his customers walk to his store, Saleh said. There are 422 residential units from the west side of Philadelphia Avenue to the bay in that area, Saleh said, and most people walk six blocks to buy a beer at OC Dollar Store.

But Bill Gibbs - owner of the Dough Roller restaurants whose corporate office is adjacent to the OC Dollar Store - said if there are 422 residential units, only 22 people live in them.

“We’ve had a lot of problems since he moved in,” Gibbs said. He named outdoor drinking, public urination, and trash as among those problems.

Five and six times daily, he, a member of his family or his staff must ask an OC Dollar Store customer to move from Gibbs’ parking spaces.

“It’s been a hardship and a major one,” Gibbs said of the OC Dollar Store. “When you sell alcohol at this price, it brings an element [of people]

and it’s not a good one.”

Gibbs showed photographs of trucks blocking his parking spaces and said there was no need for the OC Dollar Store to sell liquor.

“There’s not any need for anything,” said Gibbs, who added that he had never seen Saleh in the OC Dollar Store even though he and others had been there at least 50 times to discuss parking and other issues.

“I have, my secretary has, my wife has, my son has,” Gibbs told the board.

Attorney Dirk Widdowson, representing Gibbs, presented data about police calls to the OC Dollar Store, although Cropper said not all those calls were for violations at the store, but in the vicinity. Those calls included disorderly conduct, alcohol violations, drug violations, and thefts.

This was evidence, Widdowson said, that granting a license for the OC Dollar Store to sell liquor at a bar and to-go would have a negative effect on the community.

The board agreed that the license upgrade was not needed, and denied Saleh’s request.

Out of Darkness Walk to take place in Ocean City “I became aware of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention organization after a friend of mine passed away, Kyle Causey,” said Kelsey Twigg of Salisbury, the current top individual fundraiser for this year’s walk. She has collected $2,011 as of Sept. 24.

Causey’s mom, Colleen, organized the Walk 4 a CauseY team in honor of her son and her husband, who passed from suicide six months after Kyle.

“This walk is in honor of Steve and Kyle and for all of the people who have struggled or lost a loved one because of suicide,” said Twigg, a member of the Walk 4 a CauseY team.

The AFSP hosts Out of Darkness walks all over America in order to raise funds for its mission to have a suicide-free world.

Pre-registration for the Ocean City walk is open until noon, Friday, Sept.

26 atafsp.donordrive.com, and onsite at 9:30 a.m. on Caroline Street and the Boardwalk. The walk is scheduled to start at 10 a.m.

For more information about the walk, contact Pilling at 443-9822716or afsp.donordrive.com.

Boardwalk stroll to raise funds for AFSP’s mission to have suicide-free world

By Taylor Sloan Intern (Sept. 26, 2014) Families and friends will gather on the Ocean City Boardwalk this Saturday for the Out of Darkness Walk, presented by The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

The event has two sponsors: The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and The Jesse Klump Memorial Scholarship Fund, according to Walk Coordinator, Ron Pilling.

The Jesse Klump Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in memory Jesse Klump, a Snow Hill High School senior who died in 2009.

“We really keep a lot of our funds raised local,” Pilling said.

Last year, 250 participants help raise $38,000. This year the foundation anticipates the same number of participants.

The current first-place fundraising team is Walk 4 a CauseY.

Raceway Citgo denied bar, liquor sales at Rt. 589 store Owners say spirits would make up for loss of gas income to large chains

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) The Raceway Citgo is currently a gas station, seafood market, and furniture outlet – but it won’t be a bar, at least for now.

Traffic issues and lack of public need led the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners last week to deny a request from brothers Mark and John Wittmyer, Raceway Citgo’s owners, for an upgrade in their alcoholic beverage license for the store, located at the intersection of Route 50 and Route 589.

“You guys do a great job,” board member Charles Nichols told the brothers during the Sept. 17 public hearing in Snow Hill. “But we’re here to look after public safety.”

Nichols also noted that Rita O’Neill, owner of Rita’s World of Wine, Beer and Spirits in Pennington Commons across from Ocean Pines, had testified that business at her store has declined 8 percent since the county’s Shore Spirits liquor store moved from Berlin to Route 50. If Raceway Citgo started selling liquor, her market share would decline further, she said.

The Wittmyers wanted to alter their small convenience store by eliminating some items to make room for a 25-seat bar, which is required for a Class D license to sell liquor in factory-sealed bottles togo.

Their current alcoholic beverage license permits them to sell beer and wine to-go. They also have a seafood market and furniture sales on the

DEEP CLEANING FAST DRYING

property.

“We’ve been there 25 years and are now planning for the next 25 years,” Mark Wittmyer told the board.

They are known for personalized service, such as pumping gas for the elderly, and the bar and liquor sales “will enhance our investment and serve the community,” he said.

The brothers have a contract to sell gasoline for the next couple of years, but selling gasoline has become more difficult because of competition from large chain convenience stores. If they decide to cease the gasoline sales, liquor sales could bring in needed revenue.

Attorney Mark Cropper, who represented the Wittmyers, told the board that residents of Ocean Pines and GlenRiddle would benefit greatly if they could purchase liquor at Raceway Citgo, but attorney Pete Cosby, who represented O’Neill, said Raceway Citgo was located at what is “probably the busiest intersection in Worcester County.”

“There’s no need for a bar here,” Cosby said. “It’s the last place this county needs a bar. And there is no public need for alcohol to be sold there.”

The business’ traffic pattern is also problematic, since it has two uncontrolled entrances to Route 50, and because there is limited room between the gas pumps and the convenience store for motorists. The Wittmyers said they could change the traffic pattern to make it safer.

They also own the property behind their business, where employees park, leaving the closer spaces for customers.

Board members were not swayed, and denied the request for an upgrade to their license. The Wittmyers may re-apply at a later date.

POLICE/COURTS

Theft A man and woman were arrested Sept. 20 after allegedly trying to steal groceries at the 97th Street SuperFresh.

On Sept. 19, Rachel Anne Horan, 28, and Jackson Elwood VanVorst, 34, both of Laurel, Del., allegedly entered the store, piled a cart full of expensive items and left without paying.

Police said a surveillance video showed VanVorst standing next to the east side exit, past the checkout stands, for several minutes. When he realized people in the bakery department were watching him, he put the cart and its items in a nearby spot and left the store without purchasing anything. A few minutes later, Horan left the store, also without purchasing any items.

A tally of the items in the grocery cart showed that the food, which in-

cluded shrimp, crab meat and steaks, was valued at $553.91 and the beverages were valued at $56.90.

The store manager told police that the two people had been in the store Aug. 14 and had tried to steal two carts full of groceries, according to the charging document. They left after a theft prevention employee confronted them.

On Sept. 20, Horan and VanVorst returned to the 97th Street SuperFresh. A video showed both of them putting items in a cart. It also showed VanVorst using a cell phone and Horan getting a text message. She then started to put items back on the shelves and left without purchasing anything.

The value of the items they put in the cart on Sept. 20 was $1,609.04.

Horan confessed to trying to steal the items, according to the charging documents.

Concealed weapon Two men were charged Sept. 21 with possession of a concealed deadly weapon after an Ocean City police officer found a knife, approximately 9 inches long, in a black sheath between the center console and driver’s seat of an SUV. The office had confronted the men after seeing them asleep in the SUV, which was parked on Third Street, which is a violation of local public law.

Because one of the men, James Robert Rosenburg, 43, seemed disoriented, the officer called for a K-9, which gave a positive alert on the vehicle. During the subsequent search, the officer found the knife, marijuana and an open can of beer, according to the charging document.

Rosenburg and his passenger, Joseph Vincent Roseburg, 28, both of Quincy, Ill., were also charged with

possession of marijuana and James Rosenburg was charged with possession of an open container of alcohol.

Heroin A 30-year-old Ocean City man was charged Sept. 9 with possession of heroin and possession of paraphernalia.

An Ocean City police officer stopped Nicholas Daniel Holson at 23rd Street for failure to stop at a red light. Because Holson seemed lethargic, the officer called for a K-9, which gave a positive alert on the vehicle.

During a search of the vehicle, the officer found 14 blue wax paper bags with a trace of heroin, 10 additional plastic bags, a cotton ball commonly used to filter heroin, three additional plastic bags with a trace of heroin and a spoon stuck between seats, according to the charging document.

Holson said the vehicle was not his and that although he had used heroin, he had been clean since late July. He also said he loaned the vehicle to people for small amounts of cash.

Those people would drive it to Delaware to purchase heroin.

Bat in car A New Jersey man who had a black bat in his car for protection was charged Sept. 15 with possession of a concealed deadly weapon.

An Ocean City police officer had stopped a gold Cadillac driven by Eduardo Raymond Nolasco, 21, of Pompton Plains, N.J., at 85th Street because he was swerving between lanes.

Nolasco told the officer he had the bat because he lives in a dangerous area.

During a search of the Cadillac, the officer found a cigar with marijuana and an electronic smoking device with marijuana THC.

Physical Therapist Bobby Hammond, III helps Jennifer Cooper use the NASA-developed AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill® in order to recover faster from an injury at Atlantic Physical Therapy in Selbyville.

APT expands with sixth location on shore in Selbyville

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) Atlantic Physical Therapy continues to expand, opening its eighth location – and sixth on the Eastern Shore – in Selbyville in March.

Robert Hammond opened the original branch of APT and his son, Bobby Hammond, III, operates the newest branch at 37031 Old Mill Bridge Road.

As a 10-year-old Hammond, who recently earned a doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, said his father let him do laundry and light cleaning chores at APT. He took careful note of the work his father and the staff were doing.

“I’ve been around the physical therapy profession since my dad first opened it up,” Hammond said. “The best thing in life is helping people. I always watched people come in and saw a lot of people that weren’t in the best shape. They were hurt or recovering from an injury and in this profession you’re able to help nurse them

back to where they were.”

Hammond was also inspired into the profession by a personal experience. Fighting out of Main Street Boxing Gym in Salisbury, he injured his shoulder during a boxing match as a junior middleweight. While recovering, he used the equipment at APT.

“I had surgery, rehabbed it at one of our facilities and I was able to go back and compete for a national title in boxing,” he said.

Today the majority of clients at APT – like Hammond – are post-surgical.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) As the crowds are fading, a review of the real estate market during the summer months shows signs of a stable summer sales season throughout Worcester County.

In Worcester County, June through August, the number of units sold remained somewhat stable year over year—472 units sold in 2014 vs. 479 sold in 2013. Also positive to note is that the number of pending units for August in Worcester County was up 20 percent.

When looking at the average sales price figures, June through August, there was a significant decrease, approximately 14 percent below 2013 figures. But when you compare year over year for June through August, there was also a 32 percent reduction in luxury home sales, or homes that were priced $500,000 or above.

This reduction in higher priced homes contributes to the decrease in average sales prices in Worcester County. For example, in 2013 during the month of August, the highest priced sold unit was $1.3 million, but in 2014 during the same month, the highest priced unit sold was $725,000.

The monthly housing statistics are presented as reported by MRIS and the Coastal Association of REALTORS. The average sales price is the weighted average of sales prices in the county, calculated by weighting the price of homes by the number of homes sold.

We have also seen an uptick in the amount of available properties for sale vs. last year, approximately 10 percent more listing volume during the summer of 2014 over summer 2013. Even though we have experienced strong sales volume over the past few years, the backlog of sellers waiting to place their home on the market during the economic downturn will most likely keep the inventory levels steady in the near future.

Board grants music, hours privileges on condition of changes

Technology helps patients exercise with less impact

Continued from Page 37 sioners during their Sept. 17 meeting in Snow Hill.

“I want to commend Mr. Fager and Kevin for really addressing our concerns,” said Michael Helfrich, president of the board of directors of the 30-unit Oasis condominium, located behind the Bad Monkey. “The enclosed facility is the type we’ve been looking for all along.”

Although the enclosure will not include the south side of the secondfloor porch, there will be no seating there after 10 p.m. The only area of the first-floor porch in use after 10 p.m. will not be used for dining. The first floor also contains indoor dining space.

The new enclosure and seating limitations were intended to obviate the BLC’s earlier restrictions on Bad Monkey, which prohibited loudspeaker music on the second floor and forced the establishment to close early.

The board subsequently agreed to a request by attorney Joe Moore, representing Bad Monkey, to allow music to be piped in to the second floor and for patrons to stay until 2 a.m. The de-restriction is pending approval of the architectural changes by

Continued from Page 36 knee (replacements)” he said. “We also see a lot of the geriatric population come in for fall risk reduction.

Because we age, a lot of people are at risk to fall and some people don’t even know it.”

Using a Biodex Balance System™ machine, APT can compare data to age-related norms and evaluate patients that may be at risk.

“Technology has changed everything,” Hammond said. “You look at pro athletes and wonder, ‘Why do they get better so much faster than the general population?’ They’re athletes and they’re word class, but also they have access to technology that the general public doesn’t. When my father opened these clinics, he wanted to equip all of our facilities with the same equipment and the same things that those world-class athletes used.”

With the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill®, APT uses NASA-developed technology to help clients recover faster from injuries by removing as much as 50 percent of their weight.

“If we have a patient that has a total knee replacement and has trouble walking, what that does is it takes their bodyweight off and allows them to walk sooner than they would have been able to,” Hammond said. “It helps them walk at a faster pace and it helps restore them. It’s crucial to have access to technology like that, and at Atlantic Physical Therapy we have that access.”

APT accepts walk-in patients and offers free fall risk assessments.

“In the future I can only see us getting bigger and better,” Hammond said. “We’re locally owned, so the clients always have direct access to us for any concerns, and our goal is always to help make you better.”

Atlantic Physical Therapy has additional locations in Berlin, Salisbury, Millsboro, Del., Laurel, Del. and Philadelphia, Pa. For information visit www.atlanticptrehab.com.

Glass enclosures are planned for the Bad Monkey at 58th Street to ensure noise does not disturb residents of the Oasis condominium behind it.

the Town of Ocean City’s zoning authorities.

Earlier this year, Myers and Fager had installed a system, designed by a sound engineer, to prove that the sound would be limited to within the premises and would not be heard by occupants of the condominium or anyone else outside the establishment.

During the board’s August meeting, however, Helfrich said the music

itself was not the issue of concern.

Rather, he said, music could cause people to talk louder. He and other residents were more concerned about crowd noise.

The enclosure will solve that issue, Moore said.

The Bad Monkey has a sub shop downstairs and a burger bar upstairs, and also serves breakfast. It is also licensed by the BLC for beer, wine, and liquor sales.

Page 40 PINK RIBBON CLASSIC EVENT SCHEDULE

Approximately 800 walkers hit the Boardwalk last October for Ocean City’s third annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K event. About 180 runners participated in a 5K race before the walk began.

Pink Ribbon Classic Series begins Array of activities on tap to help raise breast cancer awareness, funds for ACS

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) Doctors will diagnose 4,570 women in Maryland with breast cancer this year — a number that rises to 232,670 across the country, according to the American Cancer Society.

To combat the disease the group expects to claim 40,000 lives in 2014, Ocean City’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer chapter is launching its annual Pink Ribbon Classic Series, an assortment of local events to raise breast cancer awareness while garnering money for the ACS. From golf tournaments to concerts, a host of events are on tap for the annual series, most of which takes place in October to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“Everybody has been affected by the disease in one way or another,” said Beverly Furst, chairwoman for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk and run, at the Pink Ribbon launch event last month.

“There’s something for everybody” in the 2014 events, she added.

This year’s Pink Ribbon Classic includes a card, game, and mahjong party and luncheon; tennis and golf tournaments; a party with live music at Seacrets; a scrap-booking event; the “Pamper Yourself For Charity” raffle; and the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K Walk and Run. Since its inception, the series has raised nearly $1.5 million for breast cancer research and development.

The Pink Ribbon series started 21 years ago with the Poor Girls Open, a ladies-only billfish release tournament to benefit breast cancer research. This year’s tournament kicked off the Pink Ribbon events last month, bringing 453 lady anglers to the dock at Bahia Marina on 21st Street and raising $65,000 for the ACS from Aug. 14-16. Over the years, the tournament has raised nearly $700,000 for the group.

The second Pink Ribbon event, an all-women’s golf tournament, launched three years later, and the series continued to grow from there, Furst said. The tradition continued this autumn with the new “Brews for Boobs” event.

One of the most recognized events in the series, the Making Strides 5K Run and Walk, kicks off early Saturday morning, Oct. 18.

Furst organized Ocean City’s inaugural walk 10 years ago, bringing around 300 to the Boardwalk to raise money for breast cancer research and care.

“At that time, I thought $30,000 was a lot,” she said, but last year the walk raised nearly $385,000 and brought around 800 survivors and supporters to the boards.

“It just blew us away,” Furst said.

While some money raised through the Pink Ribbon Classic goes toward national breast cancer research, the remainder stays on the Eastern Shore, where it will be used for education projects, patient programs, and services. Some of the local programs include free wigs for patients; the Look Good Feel Better program, which teaches patients how to cope with the cosmetic side-effects of treatment; Reach to Recovery, a oneon-one support visitation program by trained breast cancer survivors for new patients; Road to Recovery, a transportation service for patients to See TENNIS Page 41

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women, except for skin cancer, and is the second-leading cause of cancerous death in women, according to the ACS. One in two women newly diagnosed with the disease reaches out to the ACS for help and support. The group is the largest source of cancer research funds in the country, next to the U.S. government.

Across the country, Making Strides reaches more than 300 communities to raise more than $60 million for the ACS each year.

Kollin drops 121 pounds, skydives to celebrate feat

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) Some react to turning 40 by bringing home a new car.

Baltimore’s Josh Kollin dropped 121 pounds and jumped out of an airplane.

The Charm City resident visited Ocean City last Saturday to take a 10,000-foot plunge in celebration of his lifestyle change, marking the first of what he hopes will be many new goals.

“It was just a very exhilarating moment,” Kollin said. “It was worth every mile, every counted calorie, every moment of self-doubt and every moment of accomplishment to make it happen.”

After hitting 329 pounds and seeing a friend’s health suffer because of excess weight, the graphic designer decided in February to make a major change. He’s dropped to 208 pounds since, thanks to a daily dose of cardio, including 10.5-mile walks in the morning, and Krav Maga, an Israeli form of martial arts.

Part of Kollin’s inspiration came from Food Network Star Alton Brown, who did an episode on his own weight loss.

Kollin wants to lose 10 more lbs. before Mexico trip Continued from Page 41 “He brought up a lot of interesting points on how you look at things,” Kollin said. “You don’t do a diet — a diet implies ending. He changed his lifestyle, his eating.”

A more unusual muse, and one that helped him dub the skydiving trip “Operation Laugh at 40 Penguin Drop,” was a Bloom County comic strip featuring Opus the ungainly penguin pouring over the latest diets fads.

A longtime Sunfest visitor, Kollin decided to stage his dive at the beach rather than his hometown.

“I really wanted to experience the view,” he said, adding, “if I’m going to plummet to the earth and possibly die, I wouldn’t mind dying in the ocean.”

A friend sparked the idea to making skydiving part of his weight-loss goal early in the process, because Skydive OC requires participants to weigh no more than 250 pounds, Kollin said.

“I thought, ‘OK, I’ve got to hit 250,’” he said. “When I started this, I didn’t expect to be losing 121 pounds.”

He and friend Ron Chiverella, Jr. took the plunge after the weather cleared last Saturday. The two are already planning their next series of adventures, from scuba diving and skiing to riding a mechanical bull.

Kollin hopes to lose 10 more pounds before his annual Thanksgiving trip to Mexico, the first time his parents will see him since he began the transformation.

“It was very, very nice to achieve a goal and now that it’s over it’s kind of surreal,” he said of last weekend’s jump. Still, he added, his work is far from complete.

“I can’t picture an end result,” Kollin said. “I see this more as a lifestyle change.”

SEPTEMBER 26, 2014

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An up-

coming trip could create some problems with your schedule unless you tie up as many loose ends as possible before you head out the door. Ask a friend or colleague to help you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Being eager to start a new project is fine.

However, moving ahead without knowing what actually will be expected of you could cause a problem down the line. Ask some questions.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Getting through some recent challenges in good shape might give you a false sense of security. Don’t relax your guard. You need to be prepared for what else could happen.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still advised, even though you think you’re as prepared as you need to be.

Keep in mind that change is in your aspect, and you should expect the unexpected.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Lion’s gift of persuasion helps you get your points across, even to some of your most negative naysayers. An old friend might seek you out for some advice.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)

Being sure of your convictions is fine.

But leave some room for dissenting opinions. You might learn something that could help you avoid a possible problem later on.

Wing Fling at Marina Deck, Sun.

By Taylor Sloan Intern (Sept. 26, 2014) Ocean City Happy Hours will be spicing up Sunday with its third annual Kickin’ Wing Fling at the Marina Deck, on Dorchester Street, from 12-2 p.m. A portion of the proceeds from the Sept. 28 event will be donated to the Worcester County Humane Society, a no-kill shelter in West Ocean City.

Restaurants will be competing for the Most Creative Wings and Best Overall Wings titles.

Participating restaurants include Pickles Pub, Blue Ox, JC’s Northside Pub, Grotto Pizza, Marina Deck, Cork Bar, Mother’s Cantina, OC Brewing Company, Station 7, Smitty McGee’s and Claddagh Fenwick.

“The public votes on the best overall wings,” said Jeremy Brink, owner of OceanCityHappyHours.com. “Most creative wings in the past have included peanut butter and jelly wings, waffle battered with powdered sugar and syrup, and crab cake stuffed inside-out wings, just to name a few.”

Last year’s winner of Best Overall Wings and Most Creative Wings was the Cork Bar with its apple smoked bacon Jager BBQ wings. Station 7 came in second with its waffle batter dipped hot wing, and Marina Deck’s coconut pineapple wing with sweet Thai chili sauce came in third.

This year’s local celebrity judges for

Several hundred people attended OceanCityHappyHours.com’s second annual Kickin’ Wing Fling last year at the Marina Deck on Dorchester Street in downtown Ocean City. Sergo Joseph, left, and Chuck Blake serve Marina Deck’s wings.

Most Creative Wing will be DJ Billy T and radio personality Bill Baker “The Rumpshaker.”

“Every year the event gets a little bigger, with at least a couple hundred people showing up,” Brink said. “Hopefully this event will continue to grow.”

Admission into the Wing Fling costs $10. The Marina Deck will have drink

specials such as $4 Jager, $3 Fireball and $2 Natty Boh. Brink’s band, Side Project, which consists of him, Mike Trader and Brian McKenna, will be providing the entertainment for the event.

As he deliberated over which to bring Monday morning, he landed on sweeter wines, something “a little outside of the box,” he said.

“There are so many really good dry wines coming out… we figured we’d bring out some of the nicer fruit wines that we specialize in,” Deal said. “They’ve been very popular in the past. They’re some of my favorite wines.”

The festival drew a crowd of about 7,000, organizer Christina Nokes said.

An Annapolis resident, Nokes started Wine on the Beach 19 years ago “to help a lot of the small wineries get attention and get sales” and accepts any East Cost vineyards, she said.

In addition to samples of wine, four microbrews from Devil’s Backbone, Fat Tire, 3rd Wave and OC Brewing Company will be available on-site. There will be 26 arts and crafts vendors and food from gourmet wraps and pulled pork to soft shell crabs, fried shrimp and hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza for sale, she said.

Bird Dog and The Road Kings, the Pat O’Brennan Trio and 3 Penny Opera will provide live music.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Sebert said. “The people are nice. This is a fun festival to come to.”

An Ocean City tradition for more than two decades, the show attracts about 1,000 visitors each year for a host of reasons, she said.

Some come in search of jewelry-making materials and from inexpensive plastic beads to semi-precious stones, chains, they are in no short supply, Westbrook said.

Others on the hunt for finished pieces can find jewelry “from very high-dollar, fine jewelry to sterling silver to fashion jewelry,” she said. Some pieces to look out for include wire-wrapped jewelry, which can be done custom on-site, and southwestern-style pieces.

Others at the Gem show come for its minerals. Booths with everything from large display pieces to crystals meant to heal headaches, insomnia and a catalog of other ailments will be at the convention center. There will also be fossils for sale.

The Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show is open today from 12-6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission costs $5 and is good for the entire weekend. Youth under 16 get in free with an adult. Each ticket comes with a chance to win prizes, including the grand prize, a quarter-karat diamond ring.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Cook outside of comfort zone, Walker urges Approach gastronomy with open heart and mind attuned to new possibilities

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.”

This excerpt taken out of text from the “Prince,” written by Nicoli Machiavelli in 1513, brilliantly captures the fear and uncertainty of change. It is implausible to deny change and yet society continues to negate this fundamental principle which is necessary for the existence of humanity and future generations. Wisdom is the willingness to accept responsibility; change is the courage to take action.

Since the time of Plato and Aristotle, philosophers have posited true reality as timeless which in its infantile state is based on “substantial” truth. In essence, real things do not change unless it is by accident or is

considered non essential. An article, titled “Aristotle on Change,” puts it in much simpler terms. “What is cannot come to be (since it already is), while nothing can come to be from what is not.”

On the other side of the table, Baruch Spinoza, who was considered one of the great rationalists of the 17th-century philosophy, had a completely different point of view. Spinoza’s magnum opus, “The Ethics,” grounding principle is every interaction causes change and it is up to the individual to decide if the dealings are a positive step or not.

Chefs, if you will, and their gastric skills are constantly being put to the test. A true lover of food should never be reluctant to cook out of their comfort zone; remember, progression is a result of experimentation. And never let your age define who you are; the attainment of success is a varied spice with no set of rules. Welcome fear and failure; it is a way for our Higher Power to point one in new directions.

Approach gastronomy with an open heart and a mind attuned to new possibilities. Pay attention to the positive affects that embellish your culinary path; these garnishes of affirmation are the clue to identifying empowering potential. The

journey of a cook is endless and that is what makes this career exciting each and every day.

Shrimp and crab meat balls are an economical twist on traditional crab cakes. Because the circumference of the seafood balls is minimum, jumbo lump crab meat is not necessary.

Frozen shrimp is acceptable and also helps keep the cost down.

Football season is here; shrimp and crab meat balls will certainly score a touchdown with guests and fans. A few helpful hints ensure high fives. Rolling the tasty morsels in panko breadcrumbs highlights the crunchy exterior. Placing the mini cakes on a cooling rack after the frying process also highlights the crispiness. The practice of position-

ing fried foods on a plate lined with paper towels encourages the face side down to rest on a soggy surface.

This school of thought diminishes and defies the art of frying.

Whether to serve cocktail sauce or aioli (a glorified tartar sauce) is the question of the day. An experienced host will offer both options. Serious seafood lovers are quite particular about the condiments that adorn their little balls of joy; better safe than sorry.

Have fun with the serving platter.

Fresh herbs not only add color but a refreshing essence which subconsciously highlights the featured attraction. Consider another variation of presentation; using a pastry See SERVE Page 55

The Benefits of Exercise

While supplies last.

By: Craig Collins, Certified Personal Trainer & Owner of Furious Fitness At Furious Fitness we show our members that it IS possible to achieve their fitness goals. We stress that working out needs to be part of your routine, like brushing your teeth, a lifestyle change. We offer everything from basic fitness advice to personalized training programs. Whatever your fitness level is, we are here to help you.

The major benefits of exercise are controlling bodyweight, combatting health conditions, diseases and managing stress. Exercise boosts good cholesterol and decreases triglycerides.

Regular exercise decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease, can prevent or manage stroke, Type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer and arthritis. Exercise also stimulates various brain chemicals leaving you feeling better. Regular cardio and strength training can help to prevent/improve osteoporosis as well as give you a better night sleep.

While working out: 1. Your lungs are getting stronger, enabling you to breathe harder delivering more oxygen to your muscles.

2. You are producing endorphins which make you feel energized.

3. The harder and longer you do aerobic activity, you’re using oxygen more efficiently, boosting fat burning.

Within one hour of exercise: 1. Exercise boosts your immune system, protecting you from colds and flu.

2. It helps relieve stress by releasing mood-enhancing chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.

3. Weight training keeps your metabolism elevated, thus burning calories long after leaving the gym.

Within one week: 1. You are more alert and focused due to the increased flow of blood and oxygen to your brain.

2. Your blood sugar levels are lowered, reducing your risk of Type 2 diabetes.

3. You are adding lean muscle, blasting body-fat, lowering your heart rate, cutting your risk of cancer, adding years to your life and feeling fantastic!

So why would joining a gym be more beneficial than working out at home?

You have access to a wide variety of equipment so you can alternate activities making it easier to vary your routine. Set a regular exercise schedule.

It’s easy to talk yourself out of working out at home because of all the distractions. By scheduling gym time in your daily routine, you are more likely to do it. You have the help of fitness professionals that can answer your questions and help structure your workout for maximum benefits. Personal trainers are another option available at our gym.

Plus you get support from fellow members. Meeting and talking with other members can be very motivating.

We invite you to come in and see the new Furious Fitness gym. Let us help you get the most out of the rest of your life.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Serve shrimp and crab balls with cocktail sauce or aioli Continued from Page 53 brush, add a few detailed strokes of canola oil. Then lightly dust with Old Bay seasoning. The oil will hold the seasoning in place for a creative display.

Shrimp and crab meat balls are simple to make and can be served year-round. They will also be a hit with children. Think out of the box and offer your guests a “change” from the norm.

Ingredients 1/2 cup dry, plain bread crumbs 2/3 teaspoon dry mustard 2/3 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning few pinches of garlic powder few pinches white pepper 1 rounded teaspoon dried parsley 1 egg 1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 2/3 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 2/3 pound frozen shrimp, coarsely chopped 1/3 pound crab meat (claw) kosher salt to taste 2 to 3 cups plain panko crumbs canola oil for frying 1. Steam shrimp just until they turn pink, immediately place on a rack to cool. When temperature

drops, coarsely chop and set aside.

2. In a large sauté pan, heat canola oil over medium-high heat.

3. Mix bread crumbs, dry mustard, Old Bay, garlic powder, white pepper and dried parsley together in a medium bowl.

4. In a large bowl, whisk the egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Then add the bread crumb mixture.

5. Fold in the shrimp, crab meat and mix gently until thoroughly combined. Shape seafood mixture into small balls about the shape of a golf ball.

6. Carefully roll the individual shrimp and crab balls into a bowl of panko breadcrumbs. Make sure the entire surface is covered in breadcrumbs.

7. Carefully place shrimp and crab meat balls into hot oil. When the edges turn a golden brown color, turn one time to complete the frying process. Place shrimp and crab meat balls on a cooling rack for 1 minute.

Add a light dusting of kosher salt and serve immediately.

Kemp thankful hedges in yard under control

By Irish Kemp Contributing Writer (Sept. 26, 2014) “Take my hedges, please!” Oh yeah, if you want a bush that will live forever and will spring up to the height of your average pine tree, be my guest.

If only my kids had known in the olden days that these hedges would have made perfect, impenetrable forts. Be aware if you’re into landscaping that this monster in my yard sprung up from two tiny little branches that I stuck in the ground a couple years ago off of a hedge in our University Hills home.

Many thanks to Rob’s Lawn Care owner, Rob Jager, for temporarily taming this monster and making it into an interesting piece of “landscapery,” or whatever.

Trust me, folks, my column is littered with words that you will not find in the dictionary.

Kemp praises Clark’s talent Continued from Page 58 Years ago, impersonators were the big deal in the world of entertainers.

Keep in mind there were no TVs, but everybody had a radio. In the olden days, impersonators could be heard, but not seen with the exception of an appearance at a county fair from time to time.

Do I have good news for you? Local folks will have to catch the Bryan Clark show. Trust me, his impersonations of a mega group of entertainers from the past was without a doubt one of best shows that I have witnessed in years. No matter the generational gap, folks of all ages will enjoy Clark’s performances, especially folks who love music. I was amazed at the ages of the folks that crowded the dance floor to a Michael Jackson number.

I discovered that even this old broad has not yet fallen into the generation gap. No matter the age, if you’re a lover of music and song, take my advice and catch a Bryan Clark show even if it’s on a week day.

Many happy returns to birthday kids, Anita Hyatt, Bob Thornton, Anna Walsh, Ron Burns, Emily Endres, Ray Doxzen, Dolores McHugh and my daughter, Donna.

The place to go to see folks you know so I recently found out, happens to be the path in and around Northside Park on 125th Street. Many retirees and visi-

tors to Ocean City heed the health folks warnings and take that mile-long trek for exercise, including my son, Mike and bride of many years, Melissa. I chose to sit on the park bench and wait for them.

To put it mildly, it was an excruciatingly painful decision. I’d love to meet the designer of those park benches.

Unbeknownst to me, my friend, Rosie Bird was watching the exercisers from the comfy driver’s seat of her Olds.

When she spotted me, Rosie invited me to join her. Trust me folks, that park bench is history in my books.

With fall approaching, I’m looking for the loads of activities and things to do for the upcoming social season.

Around our town for the last 30 years, sellouts have been the norm for each and every event. The AARP luncheon at the Sheraton with 300 seats available was always a winner, with the so-named “Greatest Generation.” Nobody sat around waiting to be found. Please feel free to notify me of your upcoming activities, especially the fun, fundraisers.

Be sure to check out the senior center on 41st Street and the bay. Introduce yourself to Ann and check out all the amenities. Remember, fun flies when you take the time. Lest reclinitus sets in, best the newcomers get their reluctant spouse, albeit husband or wife to join them in finding out fun things to do around our town.

Free tours of Ocean Breeze Alpacas farm this weekend (Sept. 26, 2014) Ocean Breeze Alpacas will celebrate National Alpaca Farm Days on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. when the farm, located at 10304 Caleb Road in Berlin, will be open for free tours and other activities.

Co-owners Nancy and Susan Taylor invite all to come meet their alpacas and visit the Breezy Barn farm store of local alpaca yarn, roving and fibers. Alpaca goods and one-of-a-kind hand knits are also available for sale in the shop.

“We hope everyone can join us on Saturday when we have invited various fiber artists demonstrating tatting, knitting, yarn-dying, and also possibly spinning, rug-hooking, weaving and felting,” Susan Taylor said. “There will be face painting for the kids. Food will be available to benefit Stevenson United Methodist Church. It promises to be a fun day on the family farm.”

Although Saturday is the bigger day of festivities, the Breezy Barn farm store will also open on Sunday, Sept. 28, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Be sure to drop by and check out our new items from Classic Alpaca,” Nancy Taylor said. “These hats, scarves, socks, gloves and stuffed alpaca toys make great gift items for the upcoming holidays. You can get an early start on your holiday shopping with our one-of-a-kind local hand-knit items, or purchase some of our own alpaca yarn to start your own knitted or crocheted project.”

Nancy and Susan Taylor started their alpaca farm business three years ago with a herd of seven males purchased in

Making Strides for Awareness Walk in Snow Hill, Oct. 1

(Sept. 26, 2014) Fall in to fitness this October and participate in the Making Strides for Awareness Fun Walk, Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 5 p.m. at Byrd Park in Snow Hill.

This is a free event co-sponsored by the Worcester County Health Department and the Town of Snow Hill. The first 50 participants will receive a free Tshirt. Thursday, Oct. 2 is the rain date.

Registration begins at 4:30 p.m. and the 1.1-mile fun walk will begin at 5 p.m.

This year’s walk will focus on breast cancer and domestic violence prevention.

There will be a personal safety demonstration prior to the walk in recognition of Domestic Violence Prevention Month and participants are encouraged to wear pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The health department will be available to register participants for the Just Walk program and provide free blood pressure screening.

The health department will also provide information about healthy living including healthy eating; active and See WALK Page 62

southern Maryland. The next year the sisters-in-law added nine females and six more males from a local farm in Delaware.

“These cute critters each have a unique personality, and we’d love to give you a tour and introduce you to our current herd of 30 alpacas and six mini llamas,” Susan Taylor said. “We also hope to welcome two baby alpacas, or crias, to be born on the farm in late September or early October.”

Both women love to knit and were excited to have their own alpaca yarn from their own animals’ first shearing in 2012.

“Most of this first shearing’s fibers were made into yarn and socks we now sell in our shop,” Nancy Taylor said. “We offer rug yarn and bulky and worsted weight yarns perfect for your next knitting or crocheting project. We also have roving and raw fibers available for spinning. Our colors are all natural; we haven’t started dyeing yet.”

Alpaca yarn is hypoallergenic and without the lanolin wool possesses. The alpaca fibers are hollow, making alpaca warmer and lighter than wool.

“We hope you can stop in to meet our critters and learn more about raising these wonderful animals here at our farm in Berlin,” Susan Taylor said.

(Sept. 26, 2014) Worcester County Tourism Director Lisa Challenger named Todd Lester the #BestWorCoSummer Instagram Photo Contest winner.

For submitting the winning photo, Lester will receive an Electra Beach Cruiser from Continental Cycles in Ocean City and a GoProHero 3+.

“This whole contest was the brainchild of Social Media Coordinator, Keyanna Butts,” Challenger said. “She did such an awesome job at working out all the details and executing the contest.

The really great part about the contest, aside from getting a lot more Instagram followers, is that we got some really terrific pictures that we’ll be able to use for promotional purposes.”

Lester’s visit to Ocean City over the summer was his first.

“I was actually here for a business trip...” Lester said. “When I came to Ocean City, I thought you had to be kidding me. Your beaches absolutely blew me away.”

To familiarize himself with the lay of the land, he trekked to the beach at 5:30 a.m. and captured the winning photo with his Nikon D610 and a neutral density filter. Then he posted the photo with the hash tag @supert24.

“When I went to tag the pictures on Instagram, I found your contest flyer and decided to enter some of the photos into the contest,” Lester said. “I was truly taken back when I found out I won.”

The photo contest attracted more than 300 high-quality entries, with Lester’s earning the nod as the WCT judge’s favorite summertime picture.

Check out Lester’s award-winning photo and the many other contest submissions by hash tagging #BestWorCoSummer on Instagram.

Photos submitted for the Instagram Photo Contest may be featured in future tourism brochures and other promotional materials.

For more information, contact WCT at Beach and Beyond on Facebook or visit www.visitworcester.org.

SD cross country teams finish 2nd behind Kent Island

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Worcester Prep junior Hanna Nechay prepares to shoot, while senior captain Caroline Lindsay, right, and Regan Lingo (12), a sophomore, look on.

Lindsay scored in overtime off a pass from Nechay to give Worcester a 1-0 victory over Sts. Peter & Paul, last Friday in Berlin.

Worcester wins twice in overtime; Lindsay nets goals

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 26, 2014) The Worcester Prep field hockey team pulled out overtime victories last week over Pocomoke and Sts. Peter & Paul, with senior captain Caroline Lindsay netting the winning goals for the Lady Mallards.

“Two games back-to-back, she was our saving grace,” said Prep Coach Jenny Frostrom.

“The excitement was unreal when I scored in the Pocomoke game, but to think it would happen in the STPP game in the same week was crazy,” Lindsay said. “As a senior and team captain, I felt that if we worked as a team someone was going to net the ball and I happened to be in the right position at the right time in both games to lead us to victory.”

Last Wednesday, the Mallards took a trip to Pocomoke to battle the Warriors.

Junior Hanna Nechay and Lindsay provided Worcester with a 2-0 lead in the first half. It was Nechay’s first game back after getting hit in the knee–an injury that required stitches– during a tournament earlier this month.

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Worcester Prep senior captain Jordie Loomis possesses the ball during the Sept. 19 match against Sts. Peter & Paul.

Pocomoke tallied two goals in the second half to force overtime.

Lindsay scored in the extra period to secure the win for the Mallards.

“The Pocomoke game was insane. I had so much energy after the game and I was so pumped up,” Lindsay said.

The Worcester coaching staff praised the performance of midfielder Isabel Carulli and defender Hannah Arrington, both juniors, and sophomore goalie Stormy McGuiness, who stopped six Pocomoke shots.

“Stormy saved us in overtime,” Frostrom said. “It was an amazing game. All my girls played 110 percent.

It was all heart that game.”

Two days later in Berlin, the Mallards faced their Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference adversary, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres. After 30 minutes of play last Friday, the game was scoreless at the halftime break.

Frostrom said that despite physical play by the Sabres and them double teaming the Mallards, she thought her squad dominated the first half.

Neither team tallied a goal in the second half, so the game went into overtime. With about four minutes left in the first 10-minute extra period, See SCORING Page 68

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 26, 2014) The Stephen Decatur cross country teams finished in second place behind the Kent Island Buccaneers, Sept. 17, on the Seahawks’ home course in Berlin.

“On Wednesday, we faced eight teams including Kent Island, who is generally one of the strongest teams in the conference. I thought we had a good chance to do very well against them in the meet,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “Unfortunately, they came out ahead, but we are still very young for the most part, so hopefully we will do better next time. Individually, I thought [seniors] Jake Gaddis and Jenna Reimer were standouts.”

Reimer led the pack of 65 female runners, crossing the finish line first (22:20).

Junior Rachel Savage was the second Decatur runner to complete the race. She finished seventh overall (23:56). Also scoring points for the Lady Seahawks was junior Katie Hofman (12th, 25:12), senior Meya Chilengi (13th, 25:13) and sophomore Rose Billings (14th, 25:15).

Kent Island scored 30 points for the victory. Decatur tallied 47 points and Mardela took third with 93.

Gaddis crossed the finish line fifth overall behind four Kent Island runners. He completed the race in 19:02.

Also contributing to the Seahawks’ second-place finish was senior Parker Harrington (ninth, 19:49), freshman Jack Reimer (13th, 20:16) and sophomores Cameron James (18th, 20:50) and Jared Massey (20th, 21:08).

Kent Island won the competition with 20 points. Decatur logged 56 points and Broadwater (71) rounded out the top three.

A few days later, the Seahawks took a trip to Baltimore for the 63rd annual Spiked Shoe XC Invitational at Johns Hopkins University. The top seven male and female runners from each team competed in the varsity races last Saturday. The next seven ran in the JV events. Everyone else representing their respective teams participated in the developmental races. A total of 26 schools registered for the meet.

“The competition was very strong and included top teams from Maryland, New Jersey and Washington D.C.,” Stigler said.

The Decatur girls’ team placed seventh overall. The top five Lady Seahawks were Reimer (14th, 21:02), Savage (48th, 23:47), junior Alison Alvarado (56th, 24:14), sophomore Peyton Dunham (62nd, 24:31) and See INVITATIONAL Page 69

Lady Mallards earn 1-0 win over conference rival, Sabres

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 26, 2014) Berlin was hit with with a brief rain storm last Friday as the Worcester Prep girls’ soccer team was on its way out of the school for warmups.

Once the sky cleared, the team took the field for a shortened warm-up before the Lady Mallards’ anCarol Hartnett ticipated match against Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres.

“It took them a few minutes to get into the game because of the rain,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett. “They settled in nicely.”

Sophomore Madison Bescak netted a shot midway into the first half and the lone goal was enough to win the game.

“Madison dribbled down the sideline and put it far post. It was picture

Lady Seahawks record 3-1 victory over JMB Clippers

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 26, 2014) Several members of the Stephen Decatur and James M. Bennett girls’ soccer teams are friends and play ball together on travel and club squads.

The matches between the two schools are always battles and Tuesday’s competition in Salisbury was no different.

“They’re the toughest team we’ve played so far,” Decatur Coach Maggie Berke said after her squad’s 3-1 vic-

perfect,” Hartnett said.

The Mallards let up a bit in the last five minutes of the game and their play was a little sloppy, Hartnett said, but overall, she was pleased with what she saw on the field.

“It was a physical game and they didn’t let it get to them. They were pretty focused,” Hartnett said. “We’re a relatively young team and they work well together. We did control most of the game.

[Junior goalie] Grace [Tunis] only had to make four saves, so that was good.”

Hartnett said sophomore Olivia Bescak did a good job of coordinating the defense. Players on the back line didn’t let the Sabres get any quality shots off.

Sts. Peter & Paul and Worcester will go head-to-head again on Thursday, Oct. 2, on the Sabres field in Easton at 4 p.m.

“We have to refocus and get ready to play on their field,” Hartnett said after the first match-up. “It’s a totally different game on their field.” tory. “It’s the biggest win we’ve had all season because it’s such a rivalry.”

Bennett scored about 12 minutes into the match and the home team went into the halftime break on top, 1-0.

Berke said the Lady Seahawks didn’t play badly in the first half, but they just were not Maggie Berke playing “their game.”

During their halftime talk, Berke said she told the Seahawks that they needed to start playing their way–move the ball on the ground, work it wide to spread the field and pass to feet.

About 13 minutes into the second half, sophomore Lexie VanKirk scored See COACH Page 69

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Worcester Prep sophomore Madison Bescak turns to shoot on goal during last Friday's contest against Sts. Peter & Paul in Berlin. Bescak scored about 20 minutes into the game and the Mallards held on to win, 1-0.

Scoring game-winners in OT ‘great feeling’ for Lindsay Continued from Page 67 Nechay received the ball from Carulli and passed to Lindsay, who scored.

“I knew that STPP was going to be a very tough game, and going into OT for the second time in a row was scary,” Lindsay said. “After I scored the goal in OT against STPP the atmosphere [was] wild. It was a great feeling scoring in both games in OT, one that I have never felt before. I was so proud of my team. It was definitely something that I will never forget.”

The Decatur boys’ team finished in 15th place. The top five Seahawks were Harrington (64th, 18:31), Gaddis (66th, 18:39), Reimer (100th, 19:46), James (104th,

19:58) and Massey 121st (20:44).

“I think it’s good that we had the experience of going up there and running against different runners in a big meet,” Stigler said. “I am really hoping that this will prepare us for our invitational and championship meets later in the season.”

Decatur is scheduled to compete in the Tidewater Fall Classic Wednesday, Oct. 1, at Winter Place Park in Salisbury.

Coach Berke pleased with way Seahawks are playing Continued from Page 68 off a pass from senior captain Jillian Petito.

Once Decatur netted its first goal, the momentum shifted in the squad’s favor.

Senior Rachel Bourne gave the visiting Seahawks the go-ahead goal about four minutes later.

Sophomore Brigitte Ardis added an insurance goal with seven minutes remaining in the match.

Sophomore Mallory Vara earned

the assist on both goals.

Decatur keeper, junior Lexi Gausepohl, stopped five Clippers’ shots.

“The second half was a totally different game. They got the nerves and jitters out and started to play soccer,” Berke said. “I think we’re looking good. They’re improving every game.

I’m happy with the way they’re playing.”

Decatur is scheduled to travel to Ridgely to take on the North Caroline Bulldogs on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.

Decatur golf team breaks school record with 149

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 26, 2014) The undefeated Stephen Decatur golf team not only earned its sixth victory of the season on Tuesday, but the Seahawks also set a new school record of 149 for nine holes, and possibly a Bayside South Conference record.

The previous school record of 151 was set Jim Krall last year at Ocean City Golf Club.

Tuesday was also the first time all five Decatur golfers scored below 40 in a match.

The Seahawks won the competition at Great Hope Golf Course in Westover by 26 strokes.

Leading the team was sophomore Matt Kristick, who shot a 1 under par 35 to earn medalist honors. Also contributing to the win was seniors Brooks Holloway (37) and Delaney Iacona (38) and freshman Matt Kinsey (39). Senior Danny Parker also posted a 39.

“It was really nice getting senior Danny Parker back from his broken arm injury (suffered) earlier this summer. I think his return was fuel for the See KRALL Page 71

paid off,” Prep Coach Terry Underkoffler said. “It worked very well. We found the wide players more often, we were more successful getting behind the defense, which lead to more crosses and finishing chances.”

Sophomores Tate Shockley, who played right midfield, and Aria ZiaShakeri each tallied a goal in the first half.

Shockley boosted the Mallards’ lead to three goals about 11 minutes into the second half off a pass from sophomore captain Owen Nally.

Patrick Patrera, a sophomore, logged the team’s fourth goal. With four minutes left in the match, junior goalie Charlie Pritchard punted the ball, junior forward Elio Telo received it, took it to goal and scored.

Pritchard finished the game with six saves.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 26, 2014) Once the Stephen Decatur volleyball team found its groove, the North Dorchester Eagles were not able to stop the visiting Lady Seahawks during Tuesday’s match in Hurlock.

Decatur won the first two games, 25-15. The Seahawks outscored the Eagles 25-10 in the third game.

“North Dorchester was very scrappy, so I think their quick balls back over surprised my girls. We had to do some adjusting the first game,” said Decatur Coach Sarah Purnell. “By game three, I thought there was a good flow to the game. Once we got some good passes, there were great sets and hits. We played pretty smart overall.”

Junior Ellen Bargar logged five aces and three kills. Senior Marina Jones chipped in with eight kills and Kayla Heinz, a senior, contributed with four aces and two assists. Senior captain Hannah Adkins tallied two kills.

The next night in Salisbury, Decatur edged out the Wi-Hi Indians, 25-17, 25-18 and 25-23.

“Wi-Hi is definitely a scrappy team.

They were able to hang with us every game, and was almost able to take a win in game three,” Purnell said. “Our girls played really well the second half of game one, so that was promising for the rest of the games. During game three, we made some silly errors, but luckily we were able to finish strong with an ace from [senior] Morgan Jones.”

Heinz had six aces and seven assists. Marina Jones recorded seven kills and junior Marley Parsons had six kills and four digs. Junior Lauren Laque dug six Wi-Hi hits.

The Seahawks are scheduled to host the Parkside Rams at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Decatur logs 4-1 win over Crisfield Greenwood says boys need to do better job moving ball, playing short passes

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Sept. 26, 2014) Although it wasn’t their best performance, the Stephen Decatur Seahawks still came away with a 4-1 win over the Crisfield Crabbers boys’ soccer team Monday in Berlin.

Junior Lupe Garcia dribbled past several Crisfield players and shot the ball to the far post to provide Decatur with a 1-0 lead with 26 minutes left in the first half.

The Seahawks went into the halftime break with a one-goal advantage.

“We were fortunate to be up 1-0 at the half,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “I didn’t think we played well. We were disconnected. We were unable to connect passes. We were playing long balls and we were not successful. We needed to get back to our game and start playing shorter balls.”

About 18 minutes into the second half, senior captain Evan Heim netted the Seahawks’ second goal. Three minutes later, junior Brady Gilbert gave Decatur a three-goal cushion.

The visiting Crabbers scored off a free kick around the five-minute mark.

Parkside placed second with a 175 and James M. Bennett finished third (179).

“All five players really stepped it up and showed how they are capable of playing,” Krall said of the Seahawks.

“Coach [Don] Furbay and I are hoping that [Tuesday’s] record-setting performance will give the players the confidence they need to continue to play at

that level. Although the win feels awesome, we certainly don’t want to peak in the middle of the season. Instead, it would be great to build off this win and get better each week as we approach the Bayside championship, districts, and the ultimate test of skill, the Maryland State Tournament. Nonetheless, it was a great shot in the arm for all the players. They have a lot to be proud of.”

Decatur’s next match is Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. at Nutters Crossing Golf Club in Salisbury.

Decatur will ride down the road on Monday to face the Snow Hill Eagles at 4 p.m.

Defense ‘tenacious and aggressive,’ holds HG scoreless Continued from Page 70 “[The] defense was tenacious and aggressive. [The Mallards] limited Holly Grove to six shots,” Underkoffler said.

The result of Worcester’s game against Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rival, the Salisbury Christian Jaguars last Friday in Berlin was determined this week.

The visiting Jaguars scored within the first minute of the match. ZiaShakeri netted the equalizer with just over a minute left in regulation.

“I thought we were more aggressive to the ball and presented a better mentality to win 50/50 balls in the second half,” Underkoffler said.

Neither team scored in the first 10minute overtime.

During the second extra period, Salisbury’s coach was ejected from the game for continuing to verbalize his disagreement with the referees.

Since there was no other coach to lead the team the game ended.

Earlier this week, the result was declared a forfeit by Salisbury Christian.

Worcester will host the Delmarva Christian Royals on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. The Mallards won the Sept. 15 match against the Royals 6-0.

BANK RECOGNIZES WEEK 3 DECATUR MVP LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Stephen Decatur senior quarterback Justin Meekins hands the ball off to Tyrie Adams, a senior, during last Friday's game against Cambridge in Berlin. Decatur lost, 21-0.

After loss to Cambridge, SD to battle top-ranked Kent Is. (Sept. 26, 2014) When asked about last Friday’s football game against the Cambridge Vikings, Stephen Decatur Coach Bob Knox said it was “not pretty.”

“The offense scored 62 points the previous two games (21 against Indian River and 41 against Queen Anne’s), but it was pretty much nonexistent Friday,” Knox said after Decatur’s 21-0 loss. “We didn’t have the effort or technique we needed to be successful.”

With different assignments to cater to Cambridge, Knox said special teams were “a disaster.”

On the other hand, Knox thought the Decatur defense played well, led by linebackers Ernest Shockley, a junior, and senior Brandon McKenzie; safety, Matt LeCompte, a senior, and junior Gus Esham (defensive end).

“The defense played their butts off,” Knox said.

The game was scoreless at the end of the first quarter. The visiting Vikings scored twice in the second quarter to

lead 14-0 at halftime.

A little over two minutes into the third quarter, Cambridge blocked a Decatur punt and capitalized to pull ahead 21-0.

“We’re young and the kids are learning every week,” Knox said. “One thing that’s comforting is that we have a lot of young kids who never played varsity football before, but they’re learning what it takes to be a varsity football player.”

Decatur’s homecoming game is tonight, at 6 p.m. against the topranked team in the Bayside Conference, the Kent Island Buccaneers.

“I told the kids ‘it’s Dave against Goliath and we’re David. We have the support of the fans and they’ve got to give everything they have on every play,’” Knox said. “They need to be physical and be discipline and good things will happen.”

Fireworks will be shot off during halftime and after the game. The homecoming king and queen will be recognized during the halftime break.

A/C & HEAT PUMPS

The Bank of Ocean City sponsors the Stephen Decatur High School football team and following each game, a most valuable player is chosen. As part of its annual $500 pledge, the bank makes a donation to the Stephen Decatur High School Athletic Boosters in that player’s name. Week 3 winner is junior Ernest Shockley. On hand for the recent presentation, from left, are Coach Bob Knox, Shockley and Earl Conley of the Bank of Ocean City.

I’LL TAKE THAT Stephen Decatur senior Jennah Lupiwok knocks the ball away from a James M. Bennett player during Monday's game in Berlin. "I think the girls worked well together. They were communicating and they did a good job of getting the ball up the field," Decatur Coach Amy Matthews said after the 5-1 loss.

The proposed amendments to the Plan address: background on the Apartment Building and Condominium Recycling (ABCR) Program, recyclable materials included in the program, collection of materials, marketing of materials, stakeholders in the program, a schedule for the development and implementation of the ABCR Program, program monitoring, and program enforcement. A full copy of the proposed amendments may be viewed online at www.co.worcester.md.us .

The County Commissioners have scheduled the PUBLIC HEARING on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2014 at 10:30 A.M. in the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING ROOM Room 1101- Government Center One West Market Street, Snow Hill, MD 21863 at which the amendments to the Plan will be considered for adoption.

All interested citizens are encouraged to attend the hearing and express their views on this matter.

Both written and oral testimony will be accepted.

Commentary OC politics could be changing

Page 84 No space to promote book signing at BJ’s

OUR OPINION

For the first time in many years, the run-up to Ocean City’s municipal election has been so quiet that any number of residents might not even know that they will be electing four people to the City Council in November.

That’s truly unusual as compared to the routine of the last two or three decades, when the tenor of Ocean City municipal politics began to pick up volume right after Labor Day. Virtually everyone who has ever voted in a local election is familiar with the usagainst-them howls that emanate from the resort’s well-established political camps.

Not this time, apparently, and it’s a curious turn of events, considering that the Ocean City’s election campaigns are traditionally hardfought and rhetorically bloody affairs, even though the results generally come down to who you know and who your friends know as opposed to actual platforms and philosophies.

The passage of time, however, as well as the hassle of serving in public office itself, has depleted the traditional talent pools, opening the doors to lesser-known candidates with good resumes and who believe they have something to offer.

And make no mistake, the three people who have filed so far do have good resumes – a retired big business executive, a former member of the Reagan administration and a legislative aide to the Maryland Senate’s Republican caucus.

Chances are more people will file, including two veteran council members whose terms will expire, but it is apparent at this point that the days of politics as usual are on the wane.

It was bound to happen eventually, and while it might not be this election, it is obvious that in Ocean City these are changing, and highly interesting, times.

Ocean City Today

THE PUBLIC EYE

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Tickets all about money?

Editor, The following was sent to Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan.

Dear Mayor Meehan, It was a pleasure meeting you and an honor to shake your hand on Friday evening Sept. 19 at the [Delmarva] Irish American Club serving booth at this year’s Sunfest.

My wife and I rode the crowded bus to the festivity on Friday afternoon - $3 each (formally $1) – and enjoyed the OC/Berlin Optimist food (keep money local), drink, the concert and your acquaintance.

On Sunday, we chose to return to the festival by car and park in a metered space on Dorchester Street, at which we fed the meter $3. Enjoying the show and knowing we were slightly tardy – less than 30 minutes – I was quite disappointed to see that we had received a parking ticket for $15 if paid in 48 hours (formerly $5 if paid in two hours).

While priding the town on your familyfriendly resort, and proclaimed No.1 Arts and Craft Festival in America, one would think there would be some leeway/leniency in the parking fine situation on such a large event as the OC Sunfest considering the town goes out of their way to bring in our out-of-town guests.

I understand the need for revenue, as we all are. As a year-round resident, local property and small business owner – taxes, fees, etc. – and a member of the OC Chamber of Commerce, I would like to suggest you, the Town Council, and Police Chief [Ross] Buzzuro please tone down the zealousness of your outstanding officers on such a grand event as the OC Sunfest.

I am afraid the Town of Ocean City has become all about the money.

Regards, Capt. Wayne E. Smith Ocean City

No, it’s about providing events

Editor, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan’s response to Capt. Wayne E. Smith’s email: Dear Captain Smith, Thank you for your email and I am happy to hear that you enjoyed Sunfest on both Friday evening and Sunday afternoon.

Using public transportation to visit the event on Friday was a good idea. The fact that the bus was crowded was a good indication that others chose that convenient method of transportation as well. The $3 ride-all-day fare allows us to continue to provide this valuable service and it remains one of the best deals in town. (Remember, the $1 fare was for one way and would have actually been $2 round trip).

As far as the parking citation goes, nobody, and I mean nobody, likes to get a parking ticket. However, the Cale machines do provide a convenient way to pay for parking and should allow you the ability to pay with cash or credit card to cover the time you wish to park. The meter not only provides a revenue source for the city, but also helps to create turnover which opens up the availability for others, like yourselves, to park and enjoy events like Sunfest.

I realize it can be frustrating to return less than a half hour late and have a ticket, but if, for example, there was a 15 minute grace period, patrons would then be upset if they were only 15 minutes past the grace period when they received a ticket.

It is not “all about the money,” but how to balance revenues and expenses so that we can continue to provide quality events, like Sunfest for all to enjoy. However, just like in your own business, customer service is very important and I will keep your comments in mind as we move forward and make future decisions.

Thank you again for taking the time to express your concerns and I hope we have the opportunity to meet again soon.

Sincerely, Rick Meehan Mayor

I had plans for this space, as in writing something mildly embarrassing for me personally, but then the phone rang Wednesday afternoon and it was Billy Carder, who owns BJ’s on the Water.

Could I, he asked, find space to announce that Bunk Mann will have a signing for his book, “Vanishing Ocean City” at BJ’s at 4 p.m. next Wednesday?

Understand that Billy has never asked me for anything, so I felt obligated. But it was late Wednesday and this issue was more or less laid out, so I had no choice but to say, “Gee, I don’t know how I can let people know that Bunk Mann will have a signing for his book, “Vanishing Ocean City” at BJ’s at 4 p.m. next Wednesday.

The news pages had already been designed and our writers were wrapping up their articles. Yet, here I was talking to a person who has done everyone else favors over the years and struggling to come up with some means of accommodating his wish to declare that Bunk Mann will have a signing for his book, “Vanishing Ocean City” at BJ’s at 4 p.m. next Wednesday.

I felt bad for not being able to say that Bunk Mann will have a signing for his book, “Vanishing Ocean City” at BJ’s at 4 p.m. next Wednesday, because I knew that everyone who has seen the book, which “will take you on an insightful tour of the Ocean City of decades past” said it’s fantastic.

Besides, the event was bound to be a good time, considering that BJ’s is an Ocean City tradition in itself, which could be why it’s where Bunk Mann will have a signing for his book, “Vanishing Ocean City” at BJ’s at 4 p.m. next Wednesday.

Alas, I suppose I will have to apologize to Billy personally next week when Bunk Mann will have a signing for his book, “Vanishing Ocean City” at BJ’s at 4 p.m. next Wednesday.
