With temperatures reaching 80-plus degrees last weekend, Ocean City’s Boardwalk was bustling with activity. Many visitors also lounged in bathing suits on the beach.

Warm weather and events draw crowds to resort Temperature last weekend over 80 degrees, visitors flock to beach and Bdwk.

CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) No matter how nasty the weather might be at this week’s end, an unseasonably warm October and special events leading up to it have boosted Ocean City business well be-

STARTING AT

(Oct. 11, 2013) The Ocean City Council spent the better part of Monday’s session arguing, on rather predictable party lines, over the incident last month in which City Hall regular Ellie Diegelmann was expelled from a meeting.

Although the consensus seemed to be that Diegelmann was removed in error, the opportunity for a continued attack over the incident, and the compulsion by others to defend it, proved fodder enough for a lengthy debate.

In the end, one of the few definitive words of the night came from City Solicitor Guy Ayres who, when asked, said that he “hadn’t heard anything that, in my opinion, would justify her removal from the meeting.”

“You have to understand that the basic precept of democratic government is that the people have the right to submit grievances to the government, which can be expressed in a number of ways,” Ayres said. “Those who want to aggrieve their government should be offered a wide berth to express their feelings.”

Diegelmann, a frequent participant in the public commentary at council meetings, was asked to leave the Sept.

16 meeting by the attending police officer, after applauding in response to criticisms made by another citizen to

yond the norm.

“We would’ve probably closed on the Boardwalk by now, but we stayed open,” said Danny Robinson, owner of Hammerheads Raw Bar & Grill and Shorebilly Brewing Company. “I think it’s the combination of the events and the weather.”

“We were doing really, really well (last weekend),” said Delmar Smith, owner of businesses including the Frog Bar and Treasure Island Women’s Boutique.

“Last weekend was busier than the early summer.”

Most business owners agreed that cold, rainy weather in May and June severely hampered the start of the tourist season.

“That really hurt our bottom line,” Robinson said.

But business picked up after July 4 and it hasn’t seen any major downturns since, he said.

Director of the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association Susan Jones said her businesses reported a similar trend.

Events such as boat races and Corvette Wknd. boost tourism “I have heard that it (the season) has sort of balanced itself out — that what started very, very slow and disastrous because of the weather sort of picked up when we got nice weather,” she said.

“Not (for) everyone, but for most people, I think the bottom line has balanced out.”

September’s Bike Week and Sunfest and this weekend’s Endless Summer Cruisin’ car shows draw crowds, even without nice weather, Jones said.

“When people are given a reason to come via an event, they definitely come,” she said.

With events slated almost every weekend last month, “September is always one of our busiest months,” Smith said.

This year, Bike Week especially “was a huge help” for business, Robinson said.

“It’s gotten bigger and bigger every year. If every week of the summer could be bike week, I’d be very happy,” he said.

And, likely because of the weather, Biker Weekers stayed longer this year — some for an entire week or longer, he said.

“The weather has been a fantastic extension of the summer season,” Communications Manager for the Town of Continued from Page 1A

Ocean City Jessica Water said. “The recent temperatures have definitely generated more activity outdoors, including the beach and the Boardwalk.”

With temperatures in the 80s last weekend, Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt.

Butch Arbin agreed: “I’m pretty sure 100 percent of the people that were in Ocean City were outside (last week).”

Despite mid-summer temperatures, there were no rescues on the beach last week, Arbin said. The Beach Patrol stops guarding the beaches the Sunday after Sunfest, but several employees remain on duty until next Monday, Columbus Day, he said.

While Smith said shoulder season business “absolutely” made up for the summer’s starting slump, Robinson saw it another way.

“The sun is out in June, too. There is no reason we should have to make up for it,” he said.

After talking to his customers, he said found that “people are just sick of seniors,” who come to the resort for senior week.

“It’s probably scaring away more customers than it’s drawing,” Robinson said.

Despite that, he said, “I’m thrilled that the shoulder season is picking up.”

Council didn’t know reality of situation until too late, Martin says the council.

Diegelmann clapped her hands for only a few seconds before ceasing.

However, the Ocean City Police Department officer who was detailed to monitor the council meeting then approached Diegelmann’s seat.

According to Diegelmann, she was told by the officer that Council President Lloyd Martin had asked that she be removed. They then went into the hallway to discuss the matter.

She then came back into the council chambers to get her notes, which she had left on her chair. Diegelmann then began to waive her arms in the air, the intent of which was to get the council’s attention and possibly have them ask the officer to allow her to stay.

However, the officer allegedly then told Diegelmann she would be arrested if she made inappropriate gestures a third time.

As he did last week, Martin on Monday confirmed that he had motioned to the officer to approach Diegelmann after she started clapping, but that anything that happened past that was out of his control.

“I have no idea what took place between Ellie and the officer,” Martin said. “That somebody was put out [of the meeting] was not an act of this council. We don’t want that to happen.

Councilwoman Margaret Pillas also Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay

recounted that she had confronted Martin immediately after the meeting, having been unaware at the time it occurred that Diegelmann was not leaving on her own volition.

“I came back very excited and upset, because I didn’t see it and didn’t believe it,” Pillas said.

She also claimed that, in the ensuing conversation, Martin tacitly acknowledged that he had known Diegelmann was being thrown out.

“You can say the police officer did this or that, but you admitted it,” Pillas said. “My words to you were, ‘Who the hell do you think you are?’ Your words were, ‘Because I have had it. I will not take any more of that … people being rude to us.’”

Martin denied that that was how the conversation went.

“I tried to talk to you and you wouldn’t have it. I was trying to say something to you and you were fired up,” he said.

However, as Martin came under scrutiny, a number of his colleagues came to his defense, citing what they view as the intentionally disruptive and unnecessarily confrontational behavior of a number of frequent council audience members.

“It seems like, to some people here, things have deteriorated somewhat,” said Councilman Dennis Dare. “The

Objections to lack of respect, decorum at mtgs. freedom of speech doesn’t necessarily give you the freedom to be insulting, disrespectful, accusatory, and arrogant.”

“It at least gives you the right to clap,” Ashley quipped.

“I don’t agree that they have the right to come up here and attack,” said Charlie Barrett, a local businessman who has been an electoral supporter of Martin and his political faction. “That happens week after week by the same people.”

Barrett also objected to the constant questioning, by Diegelmann and others, of the information presented by the city’s staff, who Barrett noted were highly qualified to provide the data.

“Week after week I see them attacked by people who I don’t know what their pedigree is,” Barrett said.

Council Secretary Mary Knight took a similar tone.

“When Mr. Barrett says accusatory … I sat up here and was told I was part of a herd, or that I needed to be ‘cattleprodded.’ That’s not a debate, that’s name-calling,” Knight said. “I sat in a meeting, with my business degree and my masters, and was told that I didn’t know how to read a financial statement.”

But Ashley and Pillas continue to press that this was a matter of opinion.

“I don’t witness attacking going on.

It’s an open forum,” Pillas said. “I’ve been told several times ‘I don’t like you’ or ‘I don’t think you do a good job.’

That’s not an attack, that’s someone’s opinion.”

While Pillas was speaking, Barrett repeatedly interrupted, yelling, “Of course you think that.” He was not

“You can say the police officer did this or that, but you admitted it. My words to you were, ‘Who the hell do you think you are?’ Your words were, ‘Because I have had it. I will not take any more of that … people being rude to us.”

MARGARET PILLAS Councilwoman asked to leave the session.

Ashley related the incident with Diegelmann to the recent incident in Baltimore County, where a man was expelled from a school board meeting for ranting against the Common Core curriculum change.

“One of the papers in Baltimore, that did not support him being removed,

wrote ‘sometimes civility and efficiency get in the way of open, challenging, and edifying debate,’” Ashley said. “I think that applies to the Baltimore man and I think it applies to Ellie as well.”

But in Ocean City, it appeared that this newspaper’s report on Diegelmann’s allegations regarding her expulsion had rubbed some the wrong way.

“I find it interesting that there were two reporters in the room at the time [of Diegelmann’s expulsion],” said Councilman Doug Cymek. “One paper chose not to report on the incident … while the other chose to report things that were not factual.”

Cymek declined to provide further details as to what he found inaccurate in any previous reports on the matter.

Although he also rationalized the incident in light of the recent antics of some attendees, Mayor Rick Meehan was more conciliatory.

“Ellie, I’m sorry that it happened and that it got to that point, and I think we all take a little responsibility for that,” Meehan said. “It’s unfortunate that, as we talk back and forth this evening and we hear comments from the public, I think we all realize that something’s not working as it should.

But I think the council president has made it clear that everyone has the right to be heard.”

Town will work to reduce cone cost Race organizer will put up course pylons if city lets him, saving up to $8,500 ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) The City Council was skeptical this week of its own estimate that allowing people to run on public roads will cost $11,397.31 to the taxpayers, given that the town might not permit private organizers to put down their own traffic cones.

Chris Klebe, head of OC TriRunning, appeared before the council Monday to confirm his Oct. 31 event. The “Seaside 10” consists of a 10-mile race that starts and finishes at the inlet parking lot, but

Despite the considerable cost, the city may not be able to let event organizers set up their own traffic cones for insurance reasons, council heard this week.

stretches far north up Coastal Highway.

Five-kilometer and one-mile races also take place on the Boardwalk.

Councilwoman Margaret Pillas asked Klebe if he saw any way to reduce the cost to the city to hold his event.

Klebe said a major burden to the city appeared to be the manpower necessary to place massive numbers of orange cones along the race route. For his races in Assateague and elsewhere in the county, Klebe’s group does this itself.

“For some reason, in town, we’re not allowed to do it,” Klebe said. “We could absorb that cost if we could get approval from you to do it ourselves… I believe it had something to do with insurance issues.”

“Government always costs more money because we have so many regulations ...and you don’t,” Pillas said.

The city’s estimate for the event includes $2,868 in police costs to have Ocean City Police Department officers provide lead and chase vehicles for the races, as well as do traffic control at 11 intersections on Coastal Highway.

The estimate also includes $8,529.31 in public works costs, noting that the “event area is quite large and spread out from the inlet to 69th Street, and requires significant use of city items and resources.”

“Even public works is noting that it requires significant resources and overtime from the departmentsaid City Manager David Recor said. “I applaud Mr. Klebe’s suggestion that they could set up the route.”

“Let us work together on that,” he said. “If there’s an opportunity to reduce the cost, we will commit to doing so.”

Renewal of contract against previous decision sparks controversy Ashley presses Recor as to why motion to re-bid MGH agreement was not done ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) The revelation that the Town of Ocean City would be extending its contract with MGH Advertising, after allowing its opt-out deadline to pass, sparked a heated exchange at this week’s council session.

“I’m saying you had a valid motion [to go back out to bid], and it didn’t happen.

Why not?” Councilman Brent Ashley asked City Manager David Recor.

“You have MGH for another year and I take responsibility for that,” Recor

replied.

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

That agreement carried a guaranteed two years’ work, with a clause that automatically extends the contract for an additional year unless either party gives 120 days’ notice that they intend to terminate the agreement. The expiration date of the contract is Dec. 31 of each year, making the end of August the decision time.

If the city were to give MGH notice that it planned to opt out, it would then need to write a new bid specification and

However, the impression of Recor, as which would likely generate responses from MGH as well as other firms. The well as Council Secretary and Tourism city would then select a contractor, Commission Chair Mary Knight, was that the contract was good through 2014 which could be MGH or another firm.

In August 2012, the council voted 4- and that MGH’s status was a non-issue.

Change in policy flies under radar after re-shuffle of tourism groups had not been brought to him and that the notice deadline had passed without comment from anyone.

Recor relayed the same to council this week, saying that “there wasn’t a conscious decision at any point not to do an RFP.” “I’m not going to offer you an excuse as to why it didn’t happen,” Recor said.

“I’m just going to say that it didn’t happen.”

MGH’s status has always been somewhat of a hot potato in council chambers, as the agency’s success – and ergo the success of the city’s government in its role as the resort’s primary destination marketer – carries with it considerable political import.

Those winds turned against the agency in 2010, with the rise of a council faction – particularly Hall and Ashley – that frequently criticized the direction of the resort’s marketing, and maintained that City Hall had too much political investment in MGH’s success to be able to

“Who’s watching the safe here?

Is there anything else we should be checking on?”

COUNCILMAN BRENT ASHLEY make a fair decision on its employment.

With Hall’s ouster and the return of the previous sitting majority in 2012, those winds shifted back. The city’s tourism commission, which recommended MGH strongly in previous bid processes, was reinstated after having been dissolved in 2010.

“We reinstated the commission system,” Recor said in his explanation this week. “We made great strides with MGH and made improvements in significant initiatives throughout the year.”

“TAB’s role diminished, and they went to meeting on a quarterly or asneeded basis,” he said.

But even if a new request for proposals was a moot point given the political reversal, Ashley still objected that a new policy was being assumed without it actually having been recognized in a public vote of the council.

“We pay extremely competitive salaries to our staff to make sure what we vote on gets carried out,” he said.

Earlier this year, Recor also came under fire from Ashley after it was revealed that the city had not received two years’ worth of parking lot rent from a local restaurant. The restaurant owner told this newspaper that he had never realized he was delinquent because the city had simply never asked for the money.

“We just had a case where a parking lot wasn’t paid for two years because nobody here knew about it,” Ashley said.

“Who’s watching the safe here? Is there

anything else we should be checking on?”

“Probably so,” answered a tense Recor.

However, Councilwoman Margaret Pillas suggested that last year’s decision, and the affirmative vote to not renew for 2014, could legally be notice enough to get the city out of an extension with MGH if it so chose.

“Maybe they don’t have the extension,” Pillas said. “I’m requesting of the council that we have Guy [Ayres, City Solicitor] look at the contract. Maybe we already gave them notice.”

Pillas’ suggestion was approved with six votes, with only Councilman Joe Mitrecic objecting.

(Oct. 11, 2013) The Coast Guard rescued two boaters from a capsized sailboat Monday in the St. Martin River near Ocean City.

A Good Samaritan noticed an overturned sailboat and called Coast Guard Station Ocean City at approximately 12:30 p.m.

A boat crew aboard a 24-foot Special Purpose Craft arrived on scene approximately 15 minutes after the call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we first got close enough to see the sailboat, we noticed the mast raising and falling in and out of the water,â&#x20AC;? said Petty Officer 1st Class William King, the 24-footerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coxswain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw one boater trying to right the boat, but each time he tried, the sail would catch the wind causing the hull to come back down on him.â&#x20AC;?

The crew first rescued one boater who

had drifted from the boat and then returned to pull the second off the sailboat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good thing for both the boaters that we were able to respond as quickly as we did,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The environmental conditions were a bit beyond the capability of the boaters, putting them in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. When we arrived on scene, we noticed the second boater had drifted approximately 25 yards from the overturned boat. The best decision the boaters made was to wear their life jackets. Accidents such as this one happen in a split second, rarely giving boaters the time to don their life jackets. If during an accident a boater is knocked unconscious, or like in this case is separated from their boat, a life jacket greatly increases their [chances] of survival.â&#x20AC;?

The Coast Guard crew took both boaters to the Ocean Pines Marina.

Timing of change to parking code prompts scrutiny Council asks if clarification of rules aids Miller’s project ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) An otherwise nominal change to the city’s zoning code on parking requirements caused more of a stir than usual this week, as two members of City Council abstained from the approval after expressing suspicion as to whom the change would affect.

Council members Brent Ashley and Margaret Pillas removed themselves from the vote on the zoning amendment, which otherwise was approved five-to-two, although the actual ordinance authorizing the change will be voted on at a later date.

But they abstained only after questioning city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith about how the code change was raised in the process of planning for the 67th Street Town Center.

That recently built shopping center is a project of Peck Miller, a local Realtor and developer. He also sits on the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission, which recommended the code change for council’s approval.

“The person who developed that facility sits on the zoning board. Why didn’t this come to us sooner?” Pillas asked.

“It seems like things get built and then we have to come in and change our codes because somebody’s forgotten something.”

The change seeks to clarify the parking requirement for mixed-use facilities, such as shopping centers. Mixed-use developments in most of the city’s zoning districts are required to have one parking space per 225 square feet. Restaurants are typically required one per every 100 square feet.

But under city code, shopping centers can qualify for mixed-use zoning status, without any affect to their parking requirement, as long as 25 percent or less of their space is taken up by restaurants.

The code currently reads that if such establishments comprise more than 25 percent of the facility, then parking shall be provided at the regular rate instead of the one per 225 square feet.

However, the code is ambiguous as to whether the increased parking rate applies only to the square footage that is over 25 percent, or if going over 25 percent requires the developer to provide full restaurant parking for the entire restaurant, including that portion that is under the 25 percent qualifier.

The former interpretation, requiring less parking, has always been the intent of the city, Smith said.

Zoning Commission, most, if not all of them, felt that the first 25 percent was supposed to be exempt and not subject to restaurant parking rates,” Smith said.

As such, the code is proposed to be amended to state that the restaurant parking rate will be required for all restaurant area “in excess of” 25 percent of the shopping center.

“It’s really to clarify it as it was intended,” Smith said.

However, Ashley said he was told that the code change was prompted by a conflict between developers over the interpretation.

Smith said that, in the case of 67th Street, “they kind of differed with our interpretation.”

“They maxed out at the 25 percent,” Smith said. “They anticipate they may have additional restaurant tenants.

They know they have to provide one- “The person who for-100 beyond developed that the 25 percent, but if we were facility sits on the to make them zoning board. go back and Why didn’t this retrofit [the come to us original 25 percent] for more sooner?” parking, it would be very MARGARET PILLAS difficult.”

Council member However, when asked by Ashley, Smith said he was not aware of any developer or builder who had threatened to challenge the city on its more lenient interpretation.

The code change would potentially affect all other mixed-use projects in the resort as well, Smith said.

“At Planning and Zoning [meetings], I bring a lot of stuff up,” Miller said later this week. “Because I’m a developer and I do a lot of things, they’re going to affect what anybody, including me, can do down the road.

“But I think it’s just common sense to take out the ambiguity and help people know what they need to accomplish before they build,” he said. “You don’t go along and retroactively tell a guy that, if you’re going to have a new restaurant, you have to go back and bring all the others up to a stricter code.”

Mayor Rick Meehan also impressed on the council that the change was a common-sense one and not intended to benefit anyone in particular.

“When somebody builds to this code and thinks they’ve established what they’re going to be, but then they grow more, it keeps everyone on the same playing field,” Meehan said.

“If we want to encourage development, we need to provide a little common sense,” said Councilman Dennis Dare.

Ocean City Today

OCTOBER 11, 2013

New accounting rules will show more volatility in city pension funds ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) As was relayed to the Ocean City Council last week, the frequent joke among industry insiders is that the common acronym for the Government Accounting Standards Board – GASB – may as well mean “guaranteeing actuaries stay busy.”

But, as has become apparent, it could also just as well stand for “giving accounting some backbone.”

Upcoming revisions by the GASB to its requirements for pension accounting – specifically rules 67 and 68 – have many municipalities fearing a drastic swing in the way their liabilities are presented.

No longer will the schedule used by municipalities to fund their obligations be the same schedule used to illustrate those

long-term liabilities on GASB-approved financial reports. Instead, these numbers will now be independent of how a given government agency may have elected to fund, or not fund, their future obligations, in what was described as “a divorce of the funding of a plan and the accounting.”

“The unfunded liability had always been shown on those statements, but it was kind of hidden,” said Ed Koebel of Cavanaugh Macdonald, the city’s actuary. “The GASB wants to bring it front and center.”

The fundamental problem with assessing this liability is that pension debt is a perpetually moving target. The projections of how much the city will have to pay its retirees over their lifetimes – and how much money it must put away now to do so – are based on Cavanaugh Macdonald’s estimates of when employees will retire, how much they will be making at that

point, how long they will live, and how well the city’s investment of its pension monies will perform.

The city has two separate trust funds for pension benefits – one for general employees, and another for public safety employees, who pay into the fund at a higher rate but may retire earlier as is typical with police and fire personnel.

Per-employee payment in the general employees’ plan currently average just under $13,500 per year. For police and fire personnel, that increases to just over $40,000.

“They could start receiving that benefit 30 years from now, and they could receive that benefit for 30 years. People are in the system for a long time,” Koebel said.

Estimated future pension payouts are paid for in two ways. Firstly, both the employee and the employer pay a certain

amount into the fund on a per-paycheck basis, which is designed to cover the amount of post-retirement benefits earned by the employee in the given period of employment. This is known as “normal cost.”

In its upcoming reform, the GASB will be changing the calculation of normal costs from the “projected unit credit” method used by the city to the “entry age normal” method. In the former, normal costs are accrued each year on a sliding scale, depending on an employee’s tenure, and increase more as time goes on given experience and vesting.

In the latter, the total benefit accrued over the employee’s career, dependent on when he or she joined the city’s employment, is averaged over his or her entire tenure.

EAN accounting will thus accrue more liability earlier, relative to the PUC method. However, toward the end of an employees’ employment, normal cost will be relatively lower.

However, due to changes in the plan or variations in real experience versus the actuarial estimate, the city’s plans gradually accrue additional liability. A portion of this may not be covered by the current assets of the plan, even if the schedule of normal cost payments is maintained. This net is known as “unfunded accrued liability” (UAL).

The general employees’ trust currently has roughly $7.5 million in UAL: $50.7 million of outstanding liability and $43.2 million in assets, creating a funding ratio of 85.2 percent. The public safety plan, likewise, has $11.8 million in UAL. Any increases in UAL are paid over a 10-year period, per the city’s own funding schedule. But under the new rules, the city will have to show its pension debts as if this cost was being paid over a five-year period.

One of the major contributors to UAL is the underperformance of investments.

The city’s normal cost payments are discounted at a rate of 7.5 percent, to assume a return rate of 7.5 percent on the investment of the pension funds. The 2008 market crash saw the city posting negative numbers, although the increased UAL resulting from this was realized over a graduated period of five years in order to reduce sticker shock.

Similar rules for medical fund on way tive members and the retiree population starts to die off, we’ll see that number decrease.”

This is not the case with the public safety plan, which was re-opened this year to accept new police officers, albeit at a lesser benefit. Future liability on that plan is at $71.5 million, but will continue to accrue over an indefinite period.

“At some point [with the general employees’ plan], we’ll have a stopping point, even if it’s 60 years from now when the last retiree passes on. The public safety plan will not,” said Councilman Brent Ashley, who voted against re-opening the latter.

This year, the town will contribute $5.7 million in normal costs and the 10-year amortization of current UAL for both plans. This on top of the $1.6 million in normal costs contributed by employees.

Ashley also asked Koebel if the same GASB reforms would be forced onto the city’s trust for retiree medical benefits, which currently holds another $46 million in accrued liability and only $15.5 million in assets.

“We anticipate that they’re going to make similar changes, but they don’t intend to send out an exposure draft until 2015, so it could be 2017 or 2018 before those changes come through,” Koebel said. “If this is what they’re going to do for pensions, they sort of have to do the same for medical benefits as well. It’s definitely coming.”

“That was about $2.2 million in new UAL that we were recognizing each year over five years,” Koebel said.

Although the city can continue to smooth its losses for funding purposes, it will now have to show everything realtime on its GASB-regulated statements.

“If you have a big dip, like we did in 2008-2009, your funding will still be based on that smoothing, but the actual market value [of the pension fund] will show some real volatility,” Koebel said.

Under the new GASB rules, the city will also have to provide projections for its pension liabilities assuming one percentage point over and under the 7.5 percent return assumption.

“If you discount it back at 7.5 percent, you get around $66 million in liabilities [for the general employees’ plan],” Koebel said. “If you discounted it back at a lower rate, it would be more. At a higher rate, it would be less.”

This total – $65.9 million, to be exact – takes into account the general employees’ current liability as well as the future normal costs over the life of the employee base. This number is finite, given that the general employees’ plan was closed to new entrants in 2011.

“There will be future accruals for active members, but we don’t see that number increasing much in the next few years,” Koebel said. “Once we get down to less acContinued from Page 16A

POLICE BRIEFS

Mailbox destruction

Found in bathroom

Five Delaware firefighters were charged with malicious destruction by the Worcester County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department last Friday after they allegedly drove around the Bishopville-St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neck Road area throwing watermelons at mailboxes and other roadside targets.

Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies responded to a call from a citizen in the Bishopville area claiming that several people were riding around in a dark-colored pickup smashing mailboxes. With the help of Maryland State Police troopers, they found a truck matching that description on St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neck Road near Route 90.

Police said of the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five male occupants, four of them were in the bed of the truck. They were identified as Stewart William Pryor, 28, of Millsboro, Del., Dylan Lee Sharp, 19, of Milton, Del., Franklin Adam Martin, 23, of Milton, Del., Sean James MaGee, 23, of Selbyville, Del., and Addison Hill-Bittner, 22, of Rehoboth, Del. Police also discovered 29 watermelons in the truck bed.

An investigation confirmed that watermelons had been used to damage 14 mailboxes, one trashcan, and one church parsonage sign on Bishopville and St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neck Roads.

All five identified themselves as Sussex County firefighters during interviews.

An Ocean City man was arrested for assault and malicious destruction of property early Monday morning after allegedly attacking his wife and then hiding in the bathroom closet.

Ocean City police responded to 110 75th Street at 1:22 a.m. on Oct. 7 for a report of domestic assault. Officers made contact with the victim, who claimed that she had gotten into a fight with her husband, later identified as Brant A. Quick, 26.

Quick allegedly pushed the victim onto a bed, and attempted to restrain her by putting his hand at least partially in her mouth. The victim then bit down on Quickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thumb, causing him to relent. He fled when neighbors responded to his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screams.

However, Quick allegedly smashed the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cell phone before running.

Police said the victim had bruises on her right cheek and left temple. They also recovered a broken Samsung Galaxy S2.

Police were unable to locate Quick, but discovered that he was wanted by the Worcester County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department for failing to appear in court on a previous assault charge. Before leaving the scene, police told the victim to contact them immediately if Quick returned to the residence before the victim left to stay the night elsewhere.

At 3:30 a.m., officers received another

call reporting that while the victim was packing her bags, she â&#x20AC;&#x153;saw Quickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm extending from inside a closet in the bathroom,â&#x20AC;? according to charging documents.

Upon arrival, the victim told police she had run out of the house and called police after discovering that her husband had re-entered the home and was hiding in the bathroom closet. Police entered the home and apprehended Quick.

Quick was charged with second-degree domestic assault and malicious destruction of property.

Realistic BB gun

Ocean City police arrested a Washington state man for having a BB gun and a knife in his car during a traffic stop early Sunday.

Police pulled over a black Chevy Suburban at 1:01 a.m. Oct. 6 after it made an illegal left turn from the middle lane of Baltimore Avenue onto Second Street.

While at the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window, police reported they saw the barrel of a gun protruding from between the center console and front passenger seat.

They also observed the handle of a knife behind the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat. Police said both weapons were in easy reach of the driver, Jose Antonio Salas-Xolot, 37, of Yakima, Wash.

Police said the gun turned out to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phantomâ&#x20AC;? model, with an appearance

indistinguishable from an actual semiautomatic pistol. The Town of Ocean City has an ordinance banning the carrying of â&#x20AC;&#x153;gun replicasâ&#x20AC;? in public thoroughfares.

Salas-Xolot was charged with carrying a concealed knife, carrying a gun replica, and cited for an improper turn.

Hotel altercation

A husband and wife were both charged with domestic assault after police went to a downtown hotel, where furnishings had allegedly been broken by the combatants.

Ocean City police questioned Flor De Maria Olivarri, 36, of Silver Spring, after seeing her in the hotel lobby at 11:50 a.m. on Oct. 4 with marks indicating an assault. At 1:10 a.m. her husband, Jason Michael Olivarri, 45, of the same address, arrived at the hotel in similar condition. Both had their wounds photographed by police.

Ms. Olivarri was also charged with violation of a protective order after discovering that her husband had a protective order against her in Montgomery County.

Public hearing on porch enclosures to be held, attorney hopeful NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) When the Worcester County Commissioners hold their public hearing next week about a request to permit people in cooperative campgrounds to enclose their porches with soft plastic instead of insect screening, attorney Mark Cropper is hoping for a positive outcome.

“I’m not sure how familiar the county commissioners are with what got presented to the Planning Commission,” Cropper said last Friday. “I’m sure some county commissioners are more familiar with the details of the request than others, which is why I’m so pleased they reconsidered this matter and are willing to give my clients the opportunity to present their case.”

Discussions about enclosed porches began nearly 10 years ago when the county approved legislation permitting cooperative campgrounds, such as the one at Bali Hi, where Cropper’s clients have campsites to have only insect screening on porches.

“Porches shall not be enclosed with glass panels, plastic film, roll plastic or plastic sheathing, windows, solid walls or any other enclosure devices or methods,” the county zoning regulations state.

The county commissioners have been concerned during past discussions that

those other materials could lead to people using their porches as additions to their campers, recreational vehicles or trailers and making their campground units a step closer to permanent residences, which the county does not permit in cooperative campgrounds.

Safety has been another concern. Fire Marshal Jeff McMahon said during the commissioners’ July 16 meeting the use of soft plastic could be hazardous because it would hold in smoke and heat, which dissipate when insect screening is used.

Cropper will address that issue and other issues during the Oct. 15 public hearing.

“I am confident that all of the county commissioners will hear information at the public hearing to which they were previously unaware regarding, among other things, the history of how the subject enclosures came about,” Cropper said. “I also intend to address, hopefully to the satisfaction of all the commissioners, safety issues regarding these enclosures that were discussed at the Planning Commission. I understand that this matter has previously been discussed by some of the commissioners and I am hopeful and confident that they will view this request from an independent, objective and unbiased perspective.”

cean City eateries will offer a range of off-menu dishes at discounts during the fifth annual Restaurant Week, starting Sunday, Oct 13.

Though the promotional event is dubbed Restaurant Week, it is actually a two-week affair lasting through Oct. 27. Around 20 restaurants will offer menus designed specifically for the special at fixed prices of $10, $20, $30 or $40, from casual to fine dining.“For diners, this is a chance to experience restaurants they may not have otherwise chosen,” Executive Director of the Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association Susan Jones said in a statement. “It is a great way to support dining locally.”

Jones brought the idea for Restaurant Week to Ocean City in 2007, after attending a travel summit and hearing about a similar special in Baltimore.

‘For diners, this is a chance to experience restaurants they may not have otherwise chosen’ board, and they loved it,” she said.

While the specials help draw diners into all participating restaurants during the resort’s shoulder season, the eateries that see the biggest boost are those with the most creative Restaurant Week menus, Jones said.

Executive Chef at Horizon’s Oceanfront Restaurant at the Clarion Resort Hotel Shawn Reese incorporates seasonal ingredients into his menu, made of distinctive dishes like creamy butternut crab soup and fall chop salad.

Gallaxy 66 Bar & Grille will introduce its new menu for the season during the special, Executive Chef Jason Myers said. Diners can choose from appetizers like curry chicken tempura and baked oysters du jour with a different topping each day and main dishes from pan seared duck breast to herb roasted tilapia.

Newcomers to Restaurant Week this year include 67th Street’s Longboard Café and Goolee’s Grille on Second Street.

“I’m very excited,” Goolee’s Owner George Staleias said about joining

Restaurant Week. “I picked the five things… that I want people to try the most (for the menu).”

Those are the gyro supreme omelet, coconut French toast, a chipped beef dish, the Papa Breakfast Special and banana split or apple cinnamon waffles.

“You can get pancakes anywhere. My pancakes are great, but they’re pancakes,” Staleias said. “So do something different.”

Restaurant Week “certainly helps create business in the fall because people like to know what they’re getting when they go out,” Jones said. “It just reminds people to go out and eat.”

Alcohol, tax and gratuity are not included in Restaurant Week’s fixed menu prices. Participating restaurants will still have their regular, full-price menus available for those who don’t want to order from the special menu.

City to accommodate fishing tournament after gov’t shutdown

Two injured after crash flips vehicle on Route 50 near Grays Corner Rd.

ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) The Town of Ocean City agreed on short notice this week to host a surf fishing tournament after the event’s original location at Assateague was closed by the federal government shutdown.

Bill Justice, president of the Assateague Mobile Sportfishermen’s Association, appealed to the city council this week to hold the AMSA’s annual tournament in Ocean City if the federal government does not reopen Assateague National Seashore by the weekend of the tournament, Oct. 18-19.

“We’re kind of at your mercy here,” Justice said.

“I would like to think that municipal government could act a little more responsibly than federal government,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “Municipal government has the opportunity because we are smaller and we’re sitting down here with everyone at one time.”

The AMSA tournament can host up to 45 teams, Justice said, although only 18 are signed up currently. That number will probably grow to 25 by the day of the See COUNCIL on Page 33A

The driver of the car that flipped on Tuesday’s crash is carried from the scene by Maryland State Police medevac.

(Oct. 11, 2013) Two motorists were taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury with non-lifethreatening injuries Tuesday following a two-car crash that flipped one car on Route 50, Sgt. Adam Howard of the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack said.

A Subaru traveling west on Route 50 collided with an eastbound car when it tried to make a left turn at the Grays Corner Road intersection around 11:30 a.m., witness Terry Parks said.

“Essentially, one vehicle made a lefthand turn in front of the other,” Howard said.

Crowds gathered to watch paramedics, firefighters and state police respond to the scene near Paddle House Outfitters. Officials rerouted westbound traffic as they cleaned up the scene, causing a small backup of cars.

Only the drivers were in the cars, and one was transported by Medevac and the other by ambulance to the hospital, Howard said.

Council wary of complaints after recent surf fishing controversies tournament, he said, with each team likely brining two vehicles each onto the beach.

“Basically, they’re looking for any area of the beach, wherever we would ask them to be, to have a two-day event,” city Private Events Coordinator Lisa Mitchell said.

City staff estimated that the event would need roughly 15 blocks of beach, Mitchell said, and recommended the area between 30th and 45th streets. Three other events – the American Cancer Society run, OCtoberfest and the Drive in Disguise parade – will be taking place that weekend on the south end of town.

However, the council suggested that the event be moved further north, given some complaints already received regarding the city’s regularly scheduled surf fishing tournament.

“I got some pretty serious complaints about this last weekend, from the standpoint of people trying to enjoy the beach and having their blankets moved, stuff like that,” said Councilman Dennis Dare.

“The tournament this past weekend is something we’ve had for years and years, but in the past, when the tournament takes place, the weather has been less than bathing weather, and perhaps the Continued from Page 32A

volume of people on the beach last weekend caused the conflict.”

Dare suggested the tournament instead take place from the Delaware line south, so that fewer people would be impacted.

“I, too, received quite a few complaints about the surf fishing tournament last weekend,” Meehan said. “I think Mr. Dare is correct, though, it’s certainly due to the anomaly of the weather.”

The council agreed to allow a northend location for the AMSA tournament.

They also agreed to waive Justice’s application fee, and reduce his beach usage fee to $150 per day instead of the steep $150 per block per day typically charged to large private events.

The body was noticeably gun-shy about how the tournament would be perceived, given the backlash earlier this year when the council proposed selling permits that would allow surf fishing vehicles on the beach throughout the off-season.

“Some people are going to look at this and say, ‘I thought you said you weren’t going to do that,’” Meehan said. “Please know that this is the exception and not the rule. It’ a one-time request, and we’re not looking to bring in more events like this. We’re just trying to help someone out during the shutdown.”

Decatur girls finish eighth, boys 11th in Tidewater Classic LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

The Stephen Decatur golf team captured its second consecutive Bayside Conference title Tuesday, earning a 32-stroke victory over Kent Island at the Queenstown Harbor Links Golf Course. Pictured, from left, Coach Jim Krall, Danny Parker, Andrew Urban, Matt Kristick, Delaney Iacona, Brooks Holloway and Coach Don Furbay.

Sweet VICTORY! Lady Mallards earn back-to-back wins LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2013) The Worcester Prep volleyball team had come close, but the Lady Mallards hadn’t won a game this season.

That was until this week, when the Berlin squad scored back-to-back victories.

On Monday, the Chincoteague Ponies came to Berlin to play the Mallards.

The Prep team won the first game 2517 and took the second 25-16. The Mallards outscored the Ponies 25-19 in the third game for the win.

“The girls played with confidence and had great team unity,” said Prep Coach Karen Hammer. “They kept their momentum going and played with control.”

Freshman Karlie Southcomb contributed with five aces, two digs, eight kills and two blocks. Senior captain Claire Stickler chipped in with five aces, one dig, five kills and two blocks.

McKenna Shanahan, a senior captain, tallied four digs, two kills and four assists and junior setter Cecily Sass had four aces, two kills and six assists.

After the match, Hammer said she hoped the Mallards “keep their momenSee MALLARDS on Page 38A

Decatur golfers capture second consecutive Bayside Conf. title Freshman Matt Kristick leads Seahawks, other players post ‘solid scores’ LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2013) The Stephen Decatur golf team captured its second consecutive Bayside Conference championship, winning Tuesday’s match against the Kent Island Buccaneers, 410-442, at the Queenstown Harbor Links Golf Course.

“Coach [Don] Furbay and I are extremely pleased with their performances, especially Coach Krall considering the players have only seen the course once, and it’s a very challenging layout,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall.

Decatur represented the Bayside South, while Kent Island finished as the top team in the North to advance to the conference title match.

Freshman Matt Kristick led the Seahawks in the 18-hole competition, shoot-

ing a 75. He earned medalist honors for the lowest score of the day.

Also contributing to the victory was senior captain Andrew Urban, who carded an 82 and juniors Delaney Iacona and Brooks Holloway, who both tallied 83s, and Danny Parker, who scored an 87.

“Matt Kristick played exceptionally well, firing an impressive 3 over par 75.

For anyone to stay focused and determined for 18 holes and play that well is very impressive, but Matt’s only a freshman, which makes it that much more special. He’s really making a name for himself from the start of his high school career,” Krall said. “The rest of the team remained relentless and posted some solid scores to help in the victory. We are very proud of their accomplishments and hope that we keep improving as we embark on the district and state tournaments.”

Decatur will compete in the District VIII championship, Wednesday, Oct. 16, with the 17 other conference teams (nine north and nine south schools) at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge.

Last year, Decatur edged out Kent Island by two strokes to win the District VIII title.

(Oct. 11, 2013) Approximately 600 runners, representing 27 schools, participated in the annual Tidewater Fall Classic at Winter Place Park in Salisbury.

“Even with the warm conditions the times were fast and the team efforts were outstanding,” said Salisbury Track and Cross Country Coach Jim Jones in an e-mail to participatCoach Stigler ing teams’ coaches.

The Stephen Decatur girls’ squad finished eighth overall. Leading the Seahawks was senior Alex Tushup, who was the 37th female runner to cross the finish line (23:15.54) out of 225 competitors. Also scoring points for Decatur was senior Katie Collins (23:40.44, 49th), sophomore Alison Alvarado (24:06.85, 60th), junior Meya Chilengi (24:12.82, 65th) and senior Chloe FauntLeRoy (24:27.98, 72nd).

“I thought our girls placed well as a team. We were the second Bayside [Conference] school and we beat Cambridge for the first time this year,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler.” That being said, I didn’t really think any girl individually ran well, with the exception of Alex Tushup…It shows that we certainly have room to improve going forward and making the final push for our championship meets.”

The Decatur boys’ team finished in 11th place. Leading the squad was senior Kevin Herbert, who completed the race 47th overall (18:52.40) out of approximately 300 runners. Rounding out the top five Decatur finishers were junior Jake Gaddis (19:33.41, 71st), senior John Niedfeldt (19:39.76, 74th), sophomore Parker Harrington (19:53.43, 84th) and freshman Cameron James (19:57.85, 86th).

“The boys also didn’t run very well individually. There were a number of Bayside schools within about 10 points of our boys,” Stigler said. “Just a few places here or there would have made a huge difference for our boys, but it didn’t really go our way. We are hoping to have a sustained push toward our Bayside and regional meets starting with this meet.”

The Bayside Conference championship is Oct. 23 in Cambridge. The 3A South Regional meet is scheduled for Oct. 31 at Oak Ridge Park in Hughesville.

Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team shuts out Salisbury School Mallards log 7-0 victory, coach pleased with passing game, combination play LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2013) The Worcester Prep boys’ soccer team scored five goals in the first half of last Friday’s away game against the Salisbury School Dragons and went on to earn a 7-0 shutout.

Senior captain J.B. Loomis and senior Noah Conboy each had two goals. Senior captain Ryan Nally, his brother, Owen, a freshman, and sophomore Nate Abercrombie tallied one goal apiece. Ryan Nally had three assists in the first half.

Prep sophomore goalie Charlie Pritchard made seven saves.

Coach Terry Underkoffler thought the Mallards’ passing, possession and combination play was encouraging.

“Noah Conboy and (senior) Jack Marshall have been emerging as players that can deliver quality crosses on the flank

and also contributing as goal-scoring threats,” Underkoffler said. “(Sophomore) Wyatt Richins continues to lead from the sweeper back position and backs, (junior) Sam Deeley and (sophomores) Brian and Charlie Trupo, continue to get better together. The defense has become more organized and can possess out of the back when needed. Our goalkeeping is very deep this year, with (senior) Isiah Nsah and Charlie Pritchard doing very well.”

On Tuesday, the Sussex Tech Ravens traveled to Berlin for competition.

Ten minutes into the game R. Nally blasted a shot past the Ravens’ goalie. The Ravens scored two goals in 10 minutes to take a 2-1 lead. About a minute before halftime, sophomore Elio Telo finished the rebound of R. Nally’s shot to even the game at 2-all.

Sussex Tech scored 10 minutes into the second half to gain a 3-2 advantage.

Eight minutes later, Loomis capitalized on a penalty kick and the score was tied 3-3.

Chesapeake Christian took the third game 25-15, but Worcester came back to win the fourth and final game 25-18.

Southcomb had eight kills and five blocks. Stickler recorded one ace, five kills and a block and sophomore Bridget Brown tallied two kills. Shanahan logged three kills and two assists.

LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2013) The Worcester Prep field hockey team played its best game of the season last Friday, according to Coach Jenny Frostrom, when the Lady Mallards battled their Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rivals, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres in Easton.

“This was a great and a sweet victory for WPS. I don’t know why, but the away Sts. Peter & Paul game is always Coach Frostrom tough for us,” Frostrom said after the 6-1 victory.

“We played excellent hockey Friday.

Everyone was focused and determined to give 100 percent, and they did.”

Senior captain Meg Lingo scored off a Hannah Esham pass to give Worcester a 1-0 lead. Junior Caroline Lindsay boosted the Mallards’ lead to two goals at the end of the first half.

Senior captain Sarah Arrington netted a shot in the opening minutes of the second half.

With about 24 minutes remaining in the game, Sts. Peter & Paul cut Worcester’s lead to two.

Senior Alison Greer assisted Lingo’s goal to increase the Mallards’ advantage to 4-1. Junior Jordie Loomis scored off a Lingo corner. Esham, a senior, tallied the Mallards’ final goal at the buzzer on a corner play.

Freshman goalie Margaret McGuiness stopped three Sabres shots.

The Mallards are undefeated with three games remaining in the regular season.

The Prep squad will travel to Centreville to play the Gunston Day Herons today, Friday.

Turnovers and penalties Decaturâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undoing in loss to Easton Knox confident Seahawks will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bounce backâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; after falling to Warriors 28-14 LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2013) The Easton football team hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recorded a victory over Stephen Decatur since 2001, when the Warriors won 29-28.

All of that changed last Friday in Berlin, however, as the Warriors scored 21 unanswered second-half points to take down their homecoming hosts, 28-14.

Turnovers and penalCoach Knox ties at crucial times led to Decaturâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undoing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any team in the United States, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what team you are, if you turn the ball over five times youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to win,â&#x20AC;? said Decatur Coach Bob Knox.

Senior P.J. Copes scored from the 1yard line four and a half minutes into the game. Junior Austin Dundoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extra point kick was good, to give Decatur a 7-0 lead.

Two and a half minutes into the second quarter, Copes ran the ball 73 yards for a touchdown. Dundoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick put the Seahawks on top 14-0.

Easton scored 3:39 before halftime.

Then came the second half when Eas-

ton would take the lead and not look back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time we had the ball we went down the field and scored and it got me excited, but then it seemed like there was one player who would take a play off and then another player who would take another play off and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try his hardest,â&#x20AC;?

Knox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just kind of seemed like we lost interest. It takes a total team effort.â&#x20AC;?

Copes ran the ball 18 times, racking up 198 yards. Junior quarterback Justin Meekins rushed four times, picking up 56 yards.

Junior Sam Coates led the Decatur defense with eight tackles. Sophomore Dryden Brous made seven tackles and sacked the Easton quarterback once.

Knox is confident the Seahawks will â&#x20AC;&#x153;bounce backâ&#x20AC;? from the loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character is not measured by how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a frontrunner, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s measured when you get knocked down and how fast you get up,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The North Caroline Bulldogs will come to Berlin today, Friday, for a 6 p.m. game against Decatur. To win the competition, Knox said the Seahawks must be disciplined, not turn the ball over, play every down like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their last and be physical.

Not Seahawks’ best performance, but girls get win LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Oct. 11, 2013) It wasn’t the Stephen Decatur volleyball team’s best performance, but the Lady Seahawks still won Monday’s volleyball match against the Wi-Hi Indians in less than an hour.

“I thought we started out very slow and flat-footed, and I thought throughout the three games we were just making silly mistakes. We weren’t playing very smart,” said Decatur Coach Sarah Zimmer. “We were making it too easy for Wi-Hi. I think when our competition is a little down they tend to play down (to their opponent’s level).”

The Seahawks won the first game 25-12 on their home court in Berlin.

They outscored the Indians 25-17 in the second.

Wi-Hi took a 6-1 lead in the third, but Decatur fought back and evened the score at 10 as junior Kayla Heinz served two aces. The Seahawks went on to earn a 25-18 victory to take the match.

“There were glimpses of really great plays and great passing, but for the most part it just seemed a little off,” Zimmer said. “I wish that we could do a little bit better job of talking, and just the simple, basic things of volleyball I think we tend to struggle with, which is hard for me to understand, because we

Decatur has four games remaining in the regular season. The Seahawks will head to Salisbury on Monday to face the Parkside Rams.

(Oct. 11, 2013) The Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team pulled out a 4-3 overtime victory over the Parkside Rams Tuesday in Salisbury.

“Im happy we won. It might not have been pretty, but a win’s a win,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood. “We definitely pulled together.”

Junior Evan Heim gave the visiting Seahawks a 1-0 lead 24 minutes into the game, netting a shot from about 25 yards out.

With about four minutes remaining in the first half, senior Danny Beck boosted Decatur’s advantage to two goals.

“The first half we played well. We dictated the tempo and we controlled a lot of the ball possession,” Greenwood said.

A little over a minute into the second half, Parkside scored. The Rams tallied two goals and had pulled ahead 3-2 by the midway point of the half.

Feeling a sense of urgency, Decatur turned up the pressure and “poured it on” late in the contest, Greenwood said, looking get a goal.

“We started off the second half flat. We were sloppy because we had the lead and we were overconfident,” Greenwood said.

“The last three minutes we came alive and we were making somewhat better passes.”

Senior David Bernal-Clark buried the ball in the back of the net with 48 seconds on the clock to force overtime.

Before the extra period, Greenwood reminded his players what it feels like to be on the losing end of overtime–the Seahawks fell to Easton 1-0 last Thursday.

Parkside failed to capitalize on a scoring opportunity early in the 10-minute sudden-death overtime, but Decatur didn’t miss its mark. Senior forward Nick White, who played stopper for the Seahawks for some of the game because junior Corey Gwin is sidelined with an MCL strain, scored two and a half minutes into the extra period to end the match.

Decatur senior goalie Logan Thumma stopped 10 Parkside shots.

The Seahawks will go to Salisbury on Monday to play the Wi-Hi Indians.

Girls get ‘beat up’ during battle going on, but not enough to lose them the game,” said Lady Mallards’ Coach Carol Hartnett. “In five minutes, two goals were scored that had no business being scored.”

Hartnett said the Mallards were focused during warm-ups and they were confident. About 20 minutes into the game, senior captain Lilly DiNardo scored off a freshman Madison Bescak pass.

“It was deflating. Sts. Peter & Paul is very physical and we were beat up the whole game,” Hartnett said. “I feel like we distributed the ball well, but I don’t feel like we made the most of our shots. We just didn’t finish. We weren’t making Sts. Peter & Paul’s goalie pay for coming out

The Prep team scored three goals in the first half and went on to win 6-0. DiNardo led the charge with a hat trick. Sophomore Julia D’Antonio netted two shots and senior captain Alissa Talbert chipped in with one.

Tunis played in goal for 60 minutes and stopped four Jaguars’ shots. Junior

Mikalah Potvin took over for the final 20 minutes and made two saves.

“The first half was not as strong as we would have liked,” Hartnett said. “We cleaned things up in the second half. We were connecting passes, we took quality shots and we were serving the ball well. I thought our strikers played great the entire game.”

Worcester’s final game of the regular season is Friday, Oct. 18 in Salisbury against the Jaguars.

Change? City officials can’t even talk about it Once the mayor and a majority of the City Council like something, they are not inclined to consider a change, regardless of what other products, services and pricing possibilities might be available.

People who follow local government’s activities will recall the bitter argument in City Hall a couple of years ago over switching Fourth of July fireworks vendors, of all things.

A different company had proposed a show similar to the one provided by the city’s long-time contractor at a much lower cost, but some council members argued vehemently against making the switch. Their contention was they were not familiar with this other company and feared they might come off looking cheap.

Nevertheless, the change was made, the resort’s uptown and downtown fireworks shows went well and the council returned to frying each other over other fish.

Unlike the brief fireworks over the fireworks, the disagreement over the city’s multi-million dollar ad agency contract has been smoldering for years. Obviously, some elected officials are so protective of the city’s relationship with marketing firm, MGH, that they won’t even entertain the notion of seeing what else might be available. Other council members, meanwhile, have been so critical of MGH’s various campaigns that they would love nothing better than to see another agency, any agency, get the work.

The catch is that neither side in this discussion knows as much about advertising and marketing as almost any restaurant or hotel operator in the resort. And it is the hotel business, after all, that puts up the bulk of the money for the resort’s marketing via a percentage of the room tax.

But whether or not MGH is a great agency that does a fabulous job is not the issue. What is of some concern is that Ocean City’s decision makers can’t even have a reasonable discussion about it. You might think, were this not a nonpartisan political system locally, that we’re dealing with Democrats and Republicans.

Common Core and data mining

Editor, Will the federal government have access to your child’s personal data? YES. The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) assessments will provide the federal government access to student level information on your children.

Student level means information would be tied directly to a specific child. The federal “Race to the Top (RTTT) Assessment Program” awarded a $169 million grant to the “Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers” (PARCC)

to develop tests aligned to the CCSS. Maryland has an agreement with PARCC. The cooperative agreement between the U. S. Dept. of Education and PARCC offers some troubling terms: Page 3, item 5 reads, “… including, but not limited to working with the Department of Education to develop a strategy to make student-level data that results from the assessment system (PARCC) available on an ongoing basis for research.”

In short, the government wants to collect a dossier on every child, containing highly intrusive, personal information, without asking permission or even notifying parents If you are concerned with the federal government having complete access to your child’s personal information, contact your state and local school boards, governor, state and federal legislators and ask them to withdraw from PARCC.

OPINION 45A

Employers still waiting for health exchange system One of the key tenets of the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, is the establishment of public health exchanges, whereby all of a state’s subscribers can pool their purchasing power and acquire reasonable rates from insurance providers.

Many states, particularly Republican-controlled areas opposed to the policy, have defaulted to the federal government’s system to run their exchange. Maryland is one of 14 that have set up their own exchanges.

But virtually none of these has thus far been able to handle the load of subscribers. Maryland announced early this week that it had seen 170,000 unique users on the site thus far. Of these, roughly 14,000 were able to set up an account and only 326 had actually enrolled in an insurance plan as of

With website backlogged, businesses waiting to see if rates warrant coverage ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer

By Stewart Dobson

I started to write about why it costs thousands of dollars for the Public Works Department to place orange cones on the road for a 10K race.

It seemed so simple, but then I acknowledged this is one of my favorite municipal departments and that I had better check my facts before I offer any observations.

After all, this very department was responsible for explaining to me one of the great mysteries of life, which is why the water in my toilet develops little tsunamis when the wind blows. Suffice to say it’s a pressure thing.

So I did check out this situation and uncovered some startling information that makes it clear why putting out orange cones involves more than, well, putting out orange cones.

First, the orange cones have to be sorted from the other cones Public Works stores and maintains for other departments.

Little good would it do, for instance, to have one of the City Council’s Cones of Silence on the racecourse. Someone might yell, “Lookout!” to a group of runners but then no one would hear it.

Also to be considered are the police department’s Undercover Cones, which look like any other cone but aren’t, and the Drone Cones, which deploy themselves, but also cost a great deal of money and therefore are never used.

In addition, there is a procedure to be followed. It’s not as if a few guys get a truck, load it with cones and then hit the road, stopping every so often for a cone drop.

No, first, Public Works has to establish, in concert with the police and planning departments, of course, a cone grid that determines exactly where each cone must be placed to control traffic while also meeting all setback and landscaping requirements.

Next, the cone supervisors – do not call them cone heads – assign traffic duty to all full-time cones first, only calling in part-time cones or cones that would otherwise earn overtime, on an as-needed basis.

Once all has been assembled, Public Works Director Hal Adkins gives the order, “We’re going to Defcone III, Deploy the Cones!” the latter sounding a lot like “Release the Kraken!”

All the aforementioned add up to real money. Nevertheless, these cones are taken to their assignments, where they, like the wonderful employees of Public Works, do their jobs without complaint.

Ok, there was that one complaint: “Stop calling me about the water in your toilet! I have work to do and cones to train.”

(Oct. 11, 2013) Resort employers hoping to find some answers about the future of their health insurance plans are on indefinite hold, as Maryland’s Obamacare-regulated online health exchange is experiencing massive delays.

“I haven’t been able get through an application yet,” said Chris Keen of Keen Insurance, a West Ocean Citybased broker. “The attempts that we’ve made, we can’t even get far enough to see the rates.”

“They’re telling us it’s the volume,” Keen said.

While the exchange will hopefully alleviate the 600,000 state residents without insurance as of the last census, many employers, especially in the resort area, are waiting to see if it will be worth it for them to continue providing insurance.

The cost to exchange subscribers is subsidized by the federal government at different tiers, depending on their income, with those making up to 400 percent of the current poverty level receiving some assistance. Past that, exchange insurance rates are unsubsidized.

Those making only the poverty line, or slightly above, will be enrolled in See OBAMACARE on Page 46A

Obamacare subsidies may draw lower-earning, younger workers Medicare. In Maryland, this ceiling is 138 percent of poverty.

Under the ACA, only employers with 50 or more employees must have an insurance plan for their workers. Even then, large employers are only required Continued from Page 45A

to insure those who work an average of 30 hours per week or more.

However, many companies offer insurance programs to part-time or temporary workers, or offer insurance even if they are small enough that they would not be federally mandated to. This is

already low prices furniture 15% Off ouron outdoor

Fox haven is a new community, just 5 miles west of Fenwick Island and the ocean, on Zion Church Rd in southeastern Sussex county featuring • Spacious 1 and 2 story floor plans with soaring 9 ft. ceilings • Large, 1/4 Acre Lots

due to the tax favorability of insurance benefits versus outright pay.

But given the strong federal subsidy on the exchange, lower-earning temporary workers may find it much cheaper to get insurance there instead of from their employers.

Younger, single employees may also find the exchange cheaper, since the ACA also prevents employers from contributing a flat subsidy for employees on their own plans. Instead, they must pay for employee insurance at a percentage rate, which favors those with higher premiums.

Given the resort’s predominance of young, seasonal workers, this may tip the scales in favor of employers axing their policies.

“I can see small companies doing it, and those who have generally not had to provide benefits to keep things working for them,” Keen said. “With the transitive nature of employment here, people are just happy to have the job.”

Although official rates from the state are still lost in the internet back-up, Keen and partner Chris Carroll of Atlantic/Smith, Cropper and Deeley have put together their own program to determine an individual’s rates and subsidy on the exchange.

“We’ve developed a tool so that we can give you the rates and your federal subsidy,” Keen said. “At least we can give people the information. But we’ll need the computer system running to actually enroll you.”

Assistance with health insurance program offered at local libraries (Oct. 11, 2013) Maryland’s new health insurance options are coming soon to a library near you.

Now that the enrollment period has started, certified staff will be available at four Worcester County branch libraries on a weekly basis to help people explore health care coverage options available through Maryland Health Connection, the state insurance marketplace.

Jammin’ Out Cancer party at Seacrets Oct. 11 event will feature ‘At the Hop’ theme, food, music and silent auction LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

Custom and classic cars, hot rods and trick trucks fill the Ocean City inlet parking lot last year for the annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ event. The 2013 event was scheduled to begin Thursday and runs through Sunday.

Endless Summer Cruisin’ rolls into Ocean City More than 2,000 custom and classic cars, hot rods and trick trucks on display CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) Custom and classic cars, hot rods and trick trucks will be out in Ocean City this weekend for the 16th annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ event at the inlet parking lot and 40th Street convention center.

Events kicked off Thursday with car shows, vendor showings and awards presentations and continue through Sunday, with more than 2,000 automobiles on the streets and on display.

The main events take place at the inlet, where car shows run throughout the weekend, said event promoter and organizer Meredith Herbert of Special Event Productions Inc. “It just seems like a great location with the beach there and the Boardwalk,” Herbert said. “People come from all over. We even get participants

from Canada.”

Today (Friday), Endless Summer Cruisin’ starts at 8 a.m. with a Boardwalk parade. Cars will start at 27th Street and travel to the inlet parking lot, where the day’s other events take place.

“That’s one of the highlights of the weekend,” Herbert said. “It’s just a new experience for the guys, the participants, to drive down the boardwalk.”

At the inlet and convention center, car shows will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Around 30 vendors will be on site selling “anything from nostalgia automotive-related items to jewelry,” Herbert said. There will be live entertainment.

At the inlet, national names like Chevy Performance, Classic Underwriters, Delaware Tire Center, Dynomax, Flowmaster, Maryland Lottery, Miller Electric, MSD Performance, Optima Batteries, Royal Purple, Slide-Lok and Summit Racing will be on display at the Manufacturer Midway.

Endless Summer Cruisin’ also features celebrities each year, who do meet and greets, photo ops and answer questions. Lou Ferrigno, known for his

role as “The Incredible Hulk,” will be at the convention center today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Custom car builder and host of the hit Spike TV show “Search and Restore” Tim Strange will be at the inlet at the same time.

Saturday morning kicks off with another Boardwalk parade of cars at 8 a.m., followed by a full day of shows at See CAR on Page 3B

(Oct. 11, 2013) Ocean City’s Pink Ribbon Classic series, which provides an assortment of local activities each October designed to raise awareness while garnering money for the American Cancer Society, continues tonight, with a big party.

The annual Jammin’ Out Cancer celebration will take place at Seacrets on 49th Street from 5-9 p.m. The theme of the party is “At the Hop.” “Since Jammin’ is the same weekend the Endless Summer Cruisers are in town, we thought a sock hop would be fun,” said Amy Katz, Jammin’ Out Cancer chairwoman. “Dressing as bobby soxers and greasers is certainly encouraged, but there will be a good mix of attire. So whatever you wear, you will surely fit in.”

The cost is $20 and includes a “Taste of Ocean City” with food donated by area restaurants, including Tequila Mockingbird, Duffy’s Tavern, Layton’s, Mother’s Cantina, Jules, Southside Deli, Lombardi’s, The Original Green Turtle and The Crab Bag. One complimentary glass of house wine or draft beer will be provided.

There will be a 50/50 raffle and silent auction. Some of the auction items include a pony party from Autumn Grove Stables, A Drivers Education package from Seaside Driving Academy, jewelry from Premiere Designs Jewelry, miniature golf from Old Pro Golf, massage gift certificates, surf and skate gear from Chauncey’s Surf Shop, gift cards from local restaurants, golf packages from GlenRiddle and Lighthouse Sound, a four-night stay at the Bellmont condominiums, a wine basket from Beer Bellies and growlers of craft beers from Shorebilly Brewing Company.

Attendees can also participate in the “Pluck a Duck” event, where they can See BUDDY on Page 4B

Buddy Holly Tribute band to perform at event purchase a numbered duck for $20 and once all ducks are “sold” they can trade in their duck for a coordinating numbered bottle of cheer.

The “Wagon of Cheer” pink garden wagon, which will be filled with everything necessary to stock a bar, and then some, Katz said, will be auctioned off.

“It’s fun to see who bids on this item and how much it goes for. It always seems to generate a bidding war and last year it went for $650,” she said.

Live music will be provided by Oh Boy, a Buddy Holly tribute band, as well as jukebox hits from DJ Bigler and DJ BK. “With the perfect weather October is providing, and the thousands of Cruisers the town is expecting, we are hopeful that this year’s Jammin will be the best attended,” Katz said. “I can’t think of a better way to start the weekend than with a happy hour including great live music, two fabulous deejays, a sample of foods from all over town, a free house wine or draft beer, an auction that offers something for everyone, and an all around good time while helping to ‘Finish the Fight’ against breast cancer.”

Schoellkopf and members of the Executive Women’s Golf Association established the Classic in 1996. Since its inception, the series has raised nearly $1.5 million for the cause.

In 2011, the Pink Ribbon Classic brought in approximately $186,000 (net). It was the seventh consecutive year that more than $100,000 was donated to the organization. During a wrap-up meeting in December, it was announced that $269,659 had been raised during 2012 Classic events.

The first event in the 2013 series was the Capt. Steve Harman Poor Girls Open ladies-only fishing tournament, held Aug. 15-17. Organizers presented the American Cancer Society with $67,500 during the tournament awards banquet on Aug. 18. PGO co-Director Earl Conley and Shawn Harman, owner of Fish Tales and Bahia Marina on 22nd Street–where tournament weigh-ins took place–on Aug. 22 at Jive on 82nd Street presented another $2,500 to the ACS from the PGO during a gathering to promote the Oct. 19 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K run/walk.

The total donated by the Harman family through the tournament and other events over the past six years is approximately $390,000. Since the Open’s inception 20 years ago, the American Cancer Society has received more than $600,000.

Although the Open takes place in August, the other Pink Ribbon Classic events are spread out between September and October, known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One event will again take place in November this year.

The 2013 events include a card, game and mahj party/luncheon; tennis and golf tournaments, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K run/walk, Jammin’ Out Cancer, Mah Jongg Tourney, Crop Out Cancer and “Pamper Yourself For Charity” raffle.

This year the chairwomen of the different events are working with the Making Strides committee and Beverly Furst, the ACS event manager. She is also the chairwoman of the Making Strides run/walk in Ocean City.

“We are very excited that the mayor proclaimed October as Paint the Town Pink month in Ocean City in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We hope that everyone will embrace the idea and support Pink Ribbon events going on throughout the month,” Furst said. “We encourage everyone to decorate their houses and businesses in a pink way. We want to finish the fight against this disease and help to create more birthdays along the way.”

While some of the money raised through the Pink Ribbon Classic will be earmarked for national breast cancer

WE ARE

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. But before you walk through it, be sure this “favor” isn’t attached to an obligation you might find difficult to discharge.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use that other Taurean trait, your practicality, when discussing what the job offers.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. However, flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow at this time.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 25th. Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue. Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help.

But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life — and enjoy what follows.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. But don’t neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. But all goes swimmingly once it’s resolved.

BORN THIS WEEK: Holding fast to your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example.

Italian Feast fundraiser for Play It Safe program in Ocean City All-you-can-eat buffet and silent auction highlights of annual event at Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) Play It Safe is gearing up for its 25th year with its annual Italian Feast Benefit and Silent Auction, Monday, Oct. 14. at Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant on 60th Street.

The annual all-you-can-eat buffet dinner from 4-7 p.m. is one of two major fundraising events for Play It Safe, a project that encourages high school graduates to make informed, healthy choices to have fun without using alcohol and drugs during their stay in Ocean City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project not only benefits the high school seniors who visit Ocean City, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great benefit to Ocean City as well,â&#x20AC;? said Donna Greenwood, chairwoman of the Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee and Play It Safe co-organizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we keep these kids entertained, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping them off the streets.â&#x20AC;?

around 50 drug- and alcohol-free activities free to recent graduates in the city, Greenwood said.

Despite rainy conditions early this summer, the program hosted almost 8,800 graduates this May 28 through June 14. They participated in activities such as kayaking and paddle boarding, paintball, basketball, rock climbing and karaoke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went very well,â&#x20AC;? Greenwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just under 10,000 kids that came to us and attended the events (and) had a good time.â&#x20AC;?

Highlights of the annual program include a trip to Splash Mount Water Park, beach volleyball tournaments, basketball games at Northside Park and miniature golf, she said. Since its inception 24 summers ago, approximately 160,000 teenagers have signed up for Play It Safeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free activities.

In all, the program costs between $25,000 and $30,000 each year, Greenwood said, including the free activities for recent graduates and printing information pamphlets for the teens.

The funds are raised through letters of solicitation, a miniature golf tournament, a city grant and a grant from the

Poker Paddle event to benefit Maryland Coastal Bays Prog.

Money raised will support Seal Appeal program and Bishopville dam project CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) Maryland Coastal Bays Poker Paddle Pandemonium is back for the second year this Sunday, Oct. 13, raising money for the Coastal Bays Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be another beautiful weekend,â&#x20AC;? Coastal Bays Development and Marketing Coordinator Sandi Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fun, fun time.â&#x20AC;?

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poker paddle drew 12 teams of four members each, raising around $2,500 for programs that help keep the waterways behind Assateague and Ocean City clean, Smith said. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping for a bigger turnout in the second annual event after feedback last year.

The inaugural event â&#x20AC;&#x153;went great.

Everybody who did it just loved it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poker Paddle will feature food and happy hour specials at each of five stops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Seacrets on 49th Street, Fagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island on 60th Street, Finniganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Princess Bayside on 48th Street, 45th Street Taphouse and a committee boat stationed between the venues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where paddlers will pick up cards for their poker hands.

There are no prizes for speed in the event, but those with the most creative costumes and best poker hands will take home trophies.

Each registered participant will be provided a kayak and paddling equipment by 48th Street Watersports for the event. Or, participants can provide their own nonmotorized boats (kayaks, canoes or paddle boards) for a reduced entry fee.

A Wilderness systems Kayak, Pungo 120 will be raffled at the end of the poker paddle.

Funds raised will go toward projects such as the Bishopville dam project, the Seal Appeal program and a ghost crab pot initiative, Smith said.

The Bishopville dam has been a hot topic for debate for years, as Maryland Coastal Bays and other groups have sought to create a better flow of water in the branch that is a major spawning area for fish, Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting really close to where we need to be to get that project done,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Coastal Bays Program has also partnered with the National Aquarium to raise awareness of sealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing presence in the area with its Seal Appeal program.

The crab pot initiative is a joint awareness-data collection project, encouraging people to put turtle excluders on their pots to help keep threatened terrapin turtles out and retrieving pots for study and data collection, Smith said.

Maryland Coastal Bays Poker Paddle Pandemonium is open to anyone age 21 or

older, with all levels of paddling experience. The entry fee is $50 per person, or $45 for those who provide their own nonmotorized boats. Entrants can come in teams of four or will be matched into teams at the event. Costumes are encouraged.

Registration is open the day of the event from 12-1 p.m. at Seacrets. The paddle ends around 5 p.m. Bring a change of clothes.

Ayers Creek Adventures, Delmarva Board Sports, K-Coast Surf Shop, Twiningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nantuckets and Seaside Plumbing Inc. are sponsoring this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poker Paddle Pandemonium.

Pear, toasted walnut and Roquefort salad with vinaigrette served FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Socrates postulates cheese essence of world DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) It was Socrates who first postulated that cheese was the essence of the world when he wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The basic element of which all matter consists is cheese. There is an exchange of cheese for all things and of all things for cheese.â&#x20AC;?

These prolific words are mouth-watering for those whose secret cravings center around the tasty tidbits. Oh, to be a mouse in a wedge of cheese and indulge in the delectable morsels would

simply be divine. So much passion may be a sin, but at least my insatiable palette will be at peace.

Specifics need to be brought to the forefront; blue cheese is the focus of the day.

Blue cheese as simple as it sounds, is in reality one of the most complex cheeses. Blue cheese consists of cow, sheep, or goat milk. The common denominator is the addition of Penicillium. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correct, the same ingredient that is used in Penicillin.

Since blue cheese is a general term, we really cannot discuss the specific history. Therefore, let us shift the center of attention to Roquefort.

after the village of Roquefort in Aveyron, France, and is infamous for its pungent smell and blue veins of mold. Equally fascinating is its unique production process that falls under the â&#x20AC;&#x153;protected designation of origin (PDO).â&#x20AC;?

The PDO requires that Roquefort must be produced following certain regulations. For instance, the milk must come from a particular sheep, the cheese must be cured in the natural caves of the community of Roquefort and the fromage (French for cheese) must be aged for at least three months.

Roquefort is actually one of the oldest known cheeses, being praised as far back as 79 A.D. Legend has it that a young sheepherder eating a lunch of milk curds and bread left his lunch in a cave while pursing a lovely maiden. Dejected, the shepherd returned to his sheep, tired

and hungry. When he took his lunch out of the cave, he found that the bread and milk curds were moldy. With some trepidation, he tried the moldy milk curds and was pleasantly surprised. Roquefort was born.

According to an article, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food and Drink in Tarn and Aveyron, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Roquefort is made from the milk of ewes of the Lacaune breed. Some of the 800,000 sheep are dedicated to the production of milk for Roquefort.

The first stage of the cheese-making process is to heat the milk. Then rennet (enzymes produced in any mammalian stomach) is added causing the milk to separate into solids and liquids. This is important because it creates space for the Penicillium roqueforti to become established. Two hours after mixing in the rennet, the curdled milk is drained to

Roquefort cheese has luscious, creamy texture, distinct flavor eliminate whey.

The curd is placed in a mold and turned regularly to ensure the cheese is completely drained. Each cheese is stamped to show its origin and date.

Then they are covered in dry sea salt for five days at room temperature at 50 F. degrees. After this period, any excess salt is removed. The loaves are pierced 40 times with needles. This allows the carbon dioxide caused by fermentation to escape, and spore infused air can be initiated to facilitate the production of Penicillium.

The loaves are taken to the Roquefort cellars. They are stored two to three weeks or until the Penicillium roqueforti has developed. Finally, the loaves are wrapped in tin foil and stored until they

reach maturity. This process can take anywhere from three to nine months.

Before packaging, they are subject to quality control tests by the ripening master.

Roquefort has a luscious, creamy texture and distinct flavor that makes it a delicious experience. Roquefort paired with pears and walnuts is a classic combination. The addition of port vinaigrette equates a perfect fall salad. Enjoy!

Feast of St. Martin’s The Fall Feast of St. Martin, a time to celebrate nature’s bounty at the end of the agrarian year, will be held on the grounds of historic St. Martin’s Church on Friday, Nov. 1. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and features local foods from land and sea, wines and spirits and live music. Jazz musician Dave Hollister from Annapolis will entertain.

The church will be open so visitors can see the progress being made in the continuing preservation and restoration both on the interior and exterior of the building.

The Worcester County Garden Club will decorate the church in the style of the period.

Construction on the brick building was begun in 1756 and finished in 1763, three years before the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The brick exterior still appears today much as it did when construction was completed. Records from 1703 indicate there was an earlier frame building, a chapel of ease, at this location.

St. Martin’s Church is listed on The National Register of Historic Places.

During October tickets are being sold for a sterling silver and black diamond pendant called “The Key to St. Martin’s”, Continued on Page 20B

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

During the Ocean City Mayor and City Council meeting Sept. 16, Mayor Rick Meehan proclaimed October Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout October, women are encouraged to make a renewed commitment to following regular screening guidelines and to schedule a mammogram appointment. There are many events held in October to raise funds for the American Cancer Society, who’s primary focus is research and finding a cure. Several Pink Ribbon Classic committee members were on hand to accept the proclamation and to ask the community to display pink during October with lights, flags or any pink items that will show support of breast cancer research. Pictured from left standing, Susan Childs, Angela Burke,

Ocean City seniors innovative when celebrating happy hours SENIOR SLANT

Kemp’s peers ‘smart folks’ who find places to have fun IRISH KEMP Contributing Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) Help! I’m flailing and I can’t get back on track!

I’m really not sure whether it’s the early October 84-degree, weather or the foot-high stack of coupons I’m getting from the local stores.

Last months’ batch included about 20 write-offs on deodorants and Pampers. Do they know something I don’t know?

Are they trying to tell this old broad she is fat or something? It’s so inconceivable that it’s causing a rattling of the brain.

Am I about to become an instant millionaire? Moi, who can’t carry a quart of milk up the stairs much less an eight-pound bundle of joy?

When it comes to celebrating happy hours there’s different strokes for different folks. The town’s seniors are very innovative. Smart folks, my peers. They don’t have to drink to jive or socialize. The closest place in West Ocean City, Route 50’s Wendy’s is the ideal setting for a happy hour for Barbara Giles, Sara Gray, Ann Toney, Teddi Rosini and friends.

Wendy’s loves the pleasure of their company. So much so that they charge an outrageously small fee in January to join their off-season, surprise dessert club. Bring some friends and check it out. My readers know that this old gal is up for anything that keeps her out of the heat of the kitchen.

Just in the nick of time, I had Monkey Wards do a “do over “ on my cardboard stove. It hates to be home alone so I stick Howdy Doody and the Muppets in the oven before I leave.

Socializing is the name of the game and the fun is absolutely free. Thanks Wendy’s. Many thanks also to Harpoon Hanna’s and High Stakes for welcoming the seniors year-round to their establishments on weekends.

Trust me, the reasonably priced food is delicious. Harpoon’s yearround senior happy hour on Wednesdays 3/6 p.m. has been a standing-room-only event for 20 years. Having almost live Baby Boomer Bobby Burns playing the tunes of our times, plus the classics, the likes of “Unforgettable,” “Help Me Make It Thru the Night,” “West Virginia” and “Heart of My Heart” around a town where we’re outnumbered big time music-wise at all the local dance and dine places, makes Ocean City a great place to bring our visiting peers.

PHOTO COURTESY IRISH KEMP

Friends enjoy getting together at High Stakes on Route 54 in Fenwick Island, Del.

Remember when our parents used to nag us about coming home early?

No problem there. It makes it great for the younger late night partiers. I wonder if the group of golfers still gathers for their early Tuesday morning happy hour at Ocean Pines’ Mac-A-Dee’s?

I’ll check it out next week on my way to “dizzyland. ” Not to worry guys, hon will decipher that one for you.

Volunteering, peering, cheering, steering or just out gearing up for OC’s ever-so-busy winter social season, I found around town Jim and Martha Stone, John and Ann McDermott, the Haffers, Helen Nappier, Angie Mack, Fran Nickles, Frank and Terri Austin, the Taylors, Julie Stricker, John and Ann Gough and October birthday kids Faye Hartman, Bruce Coons, Pat Luckett, Dick Kahn, both of the Taylors, Lee and Neil, Ceil Addicks and Evelyn Pittara. Congratulations to the Fursts, who (or is that whom?) are probably out there celebrating a golden-plus anniversary. Everybody has heard the expression, “Only believe half of what you read, etc.” Well, to be truthful I’ve forgotten it but in D.C. at the German Embassy’s Ambassador party, would you believe that the Germans went berserk?

They danced wildly and sang along to numerous requests for the band to play John Denver’s “Country Roads.”

They love it. Rumors abound that they are considering making it their “nationality “anthem. To say they love it is an understatement. C U IN OC TODAY.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Wyatt Harrison, center, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday for his wood printing business, Plak That, which recently opened in West Ocean City.

Plak That owner opens business in West OC Wyatt Harrison recipient of VOLT loan, which provided funds for shop CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Oct. 11, 2013) A 25-year-old Ocean City native has opened shop making customizable wooden prints at his West Ocean City office.

Wyatt Harrison of Plak That recently bought a printer in his latest move to localize the business, hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce Tuesday to celebrate.

“If you would’ve asked me even last year if I’d have my own printer or even my own shop, I’d have to said, ‘No way,’” Harrison said.

The student of anthropology had almost no business experience before starting the venture, but a sign in a California restaurant piqued his interest in April 2012, ultimately leading to the opening of his Ocean City business.

“I had never seen anything like this,” Harrison said, recalling the sign he saw in the restaurant. “I flipped it over,

looked on the back and saw who the manufacturer was.”

Harrison contacted the Californiabased printing company that made the wooden sign and soon after, prints depicting photographs by his longtime boss Lee Gerachis, of Malibu’s Surf Shop, arrived.

That July, “a guy came in (to Malibu’s) and said, ‘You could really sell these,’” Harrison said. “I went home that night and started the Web site.”

He moved Plak That to a Salisbury printer that August, though the move wasn’t easy since the printer had never used a wood base before.

“I worked with him for a full year… refining the product,” Harrison said.

His final step came last spring, when rising demand and simple math led to a realization: “You need to bring this production in-house,” he said.

Harrison spent months seeking out loans to buy a printer for his business, but “none of the companies would touch me because I was so young. I couldn’t even get a lease because the companies thought I was too risky,” he said.

That led him to the Video Lottery Terminal (VOLT) Small Business Loan, funds collected from Ocean Downs Casino available to small, minority and

female-owned businesses in Worcester County.

Harrison was the second recipient of the local loan, with an $88,750 check presented by Worcester County Economic Development Director Bill Badger following the ribbon cutting Tuesday. He will pay the loan back over a five-year period, with a sixth year of interest payments.

“He really had this sense of what he wanted to do, where he wanted to go, and he brought this tremendous energy,” said Lois Haggerty, the business counselor at the Small Business and Technology Development Center at Salisbury University who helped Harrison with the loan process.

After Tuesday’s ceremony, she said, “It’s always wonderful to have a client come in with a vision and see that vision realized.”

Harrison now receives orders for printing photos on wood from as far afield as New Zealand and Thailand, as well as from Ocean City customers.

To learn more about Plak That or to browse wood prints or design your own, visit www.plakthat.com.

Find the business on Facebook by searching “Plak That Custom Wood Prints.”

(Oct. 11, 2013) This week’s article is a continuation of information provided at the recent condo financing seminar in Ocean City offered through the Coastal Association of Realtors. Presenting for the insurance portion was Reese Cropper of IMG Insurance. He gave a synopsis of the insurance information required when purchasing a condo and noted that most insurance companies now have a process for a “Certificate of Insurance Request” that banks require when lending on condos. The information requested may include: • HO-6 policy (homeowners policy that provides additional coverage for unit and contents) • Master “Hazard” policy info • Liability Insurance info • Wind Deductible Buy Back Policy info • Fidelity or Crime Insurance policy info • Directors and Officers Liability Policy info • Umbrella Liability Policy info • Flood Insurance Policy information Covering the appraisal process and how it affects condo financing was Lee Trice of The Trice Group. He opened by saying that the Dodd-Frank act is now “the law of the land.” This act was signed into law in 2010 and it brought significant changes to financial regulation in the United States and more specifically to the mortgage market and appraisals.

Appraisers now have more independence from the banks and many lenders use third-party agents for the ordering of appraisals as a way to maintain armslength. He also mentioned that there is a zero-default mentality and much higher scrutiny of the appraisal report by the lender and their underwriters.

There is an appeal process when an appraisal is not satisfactory, called a “Reconsideration of Value,” although Trice cautioned that this must be a “factual” process.

AARP Tax-Aide program seeks seasonal volunteers to assist area taxpayers

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Owner of Gooleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grille, George Stakias, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce Friday, Oct. 4 to celebrate 10 seasons of business in Ocean City. The restaurant, located on Baltimore Avenue near Second Street, is open from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. dishing up breakfast favorites like stuffed French toast and its gyro omelet.

(Oct. 11, 2013) AARP Tax-Aide is a program of the AARP Foundation offered in conjunction with the IRS. TaxAide helps taxpayers with low and middle-income with special attention to those 60 and older.

Volunteers are needed in Worcester County, Wicomico County and from Lower Sussex County and Accomack County, Va. Volunteers help taxpayers who are seeking assistance preparing and filing 2014 tax returns. Volunteers do not need to be an AARP member or retiree to participate.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers receive free tax training and are reimbursed on a limited basis for qualified program-related expenses. They help taxpayers at sites around the state, learning new skills while giving back to countless communities.

Last year, Tax-Aide volunteers helped over 1,000 taxpayers across the Lower Shore. They join the more than 35,000 Tax-Aide volunteers across the country, helping millions of taxpayers each year.
