OC hires new PD chief from Baltimore City Buzzuro worked way up through ranks to Lt. Col. ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer

BEDTIME INN FIRE

some compromise,” Meehan said. “I still think my compromise was a fair response.”

Even without the mayor’s signature, the ordinance still took effect this week by default after having been passed two weeks ago by a five-to-two vote of council, as the Town of Ocean City’s charter does not provide for what is often referred to as a “pocket veto.”

Further, a petition to bring the ordinance to referendum will soon be circulated by a group calling itself OC Taxpayers for Social Justice, headed by local property owner and frequent council

(June 21, 2013) After a months-long process of screening and interviewing, the City Council voted in a closed-door meeting this week to hire Lt. Col. Ross Buzzuro of the Baltimore City Police Department as the Ocean City Police Department’s next chief of police.

“On behalf of the City Council, I am very pleased to welcome Chief Buzzuro to Ocean City,” Mayor Rick Meehan said in a press release. “We had a number of very qualified candidates apply for the position and this was a very tough decision to make. However, Chief Buzzuro’s knowledge, experience and leadership stood out amongst the rest.”

Buzzuro’s appointment comes after the departure of former OCPD Chief Bernadette DiPino, who was selected in October of last year as the next head of the Sarasota, Fla. police department. DiPino had been with the OCPD for 25 years after beginning her career in Baltimore as well.

Since then, the OCPD’s three captains have been rotating the chiefs’ duties amongst themselves until a replacement is named. Two of those captains – Capt.

Kevin Kirstein and Capt. Michael Colbert – applied for the chief’s position and were in the final running along with three outside candidates.

Those five applicants were interviewed

by City Council last week, and the selection was put to vote in an executive ses-

Firemen gather on the roof of Bedtime Inn in West Ocean City after a fire broke out Monday afternoon. The fire appeared to have developed in the attic space above the westernmost row of motel rooms, causing firefighters to cut holes in the roof of the structure and pump water onto the flames. One minor injury was reported.

Meehan passes on new paid parking ordinance Opponents reveal intent to circulate petition calling for referendum on issue ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) Ocean City government’s controversial parking ordinance has gone into effect without the signature of Mayor Rick Meehan, who allowed the 15-day deadline for the return of the ordinance to go by this week without either

his approval or veto.

Acknowledging that the move was somewhat of a “silent protest” to his compromise proposal not being well-received by either side of the ongoing debate, Meehan said he “did not agree with the ordinance as written.”

Although he has gotten feedback from the community at large, Meehan said he found no interest in a compromise from the City Council or the parties affected by the fiercely contested addition of paid parking on a select few city streets.

“I didn’t hear from anybody, on either side of the issue, that they would accept

Murderer found guilty second time after new hearing granted First decision overturned when accused said right to attorney was violated NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/ZACK HOOPES

A fire at the Bedtime Inn in West Ocean City shut down eastbound traffic on Route 50 Monday afternoon. The fire appeared to have developed in the attic space above the westernmost row of motel rooms, causing firefighters to cut holes in the roof of the structure and pump water onto the flames.

No injuries were apparent.

Fire at Bedtime Inn & Suites (June 21, 2013) At approximately 12:35 p.m., on Monday, Ocean City Communications received a call for a fire at the Bedtime Inn & Suites, located at 12534 Ocean Gateway in West Ocean City. Ocean City Fire Department personnel responded to the scene and were able to control the fire, which was in one unit of the building, a short time later. “We responded to the scene and were able to contain the fire very

quickly,” said Ocean City Fire Department Chief Chris Larmore. “The members of the OCFD did a great job acting promptly and professionally to prevent this incident from escalating.” The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office is currently investigating the cause of the fire. At this time, one person was treated at the scene and released with minor injuries and the initial damage assessment is unknown.

(June 21, 2013) Charles Robert Phillips is going back to prison. The amount of time for his sentence will be determined later.

A jury in Circuit Court in Snow Hill found Phillips, 33, guilty last Thursday of first-degree murder, armed robbery and theft of less than $500.

Phillips had been found guilty of those charges April 8, 2009, and was sentenced three months later to life in prison plus 20 years.

The Maryland Court of Appeals overturned the verdict in March 2012. The court decreed that Phillips was entitled to a new trial because Delegate Mike McDermott, who was then head of criminal investigations for the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, failed to stop questioning Phillips after he invoked his right to an attorney.

The concern in Phillips’ case was what must occur when a suspect invokes his right to counsel, as Phillips did after 45 minutes of questioning at the Berlin bar-

rack of Maryland State Police. Court of Appeals Justice Alan A. Wilner wrote that it was undisputed that a police detective, McDermott, continued talking with Phillips, who “indicated a desire to continue talking to the detective and ultimately made a number of incriminating statements.”

In a taped statement, Phillips told McDermott that he had been in an altercation with William Nibblett about money. He said he grabbed a knife and Nibblett ran into it.

Phillips, then 29 and the father of eight, had been out of jail just one day when he went to the Pocomoke residence of Nibblett, a 77-year-old plumber, stabbed him and stole $400 on March 6, 2008. Nibblett’s two daughters found him dead on the floor with a knife in his chest.

Phillips was charged March 12, 2008 with first-degree murder, armed robbery and other crimes. A jury in Circuit Court in Snow Hill convicted him in April 2009 of armed robbery and first-degree murder. Judge Thomas C. Groton sentenced him to life in prison for the murder and a consecutive 20 years for the armed robbery.

Phillips’ new trial began Monday, June 10 and concluded with the jury’s verdict Thursday, June 13. He is likely to be sentenced later this summer.

critic Tony Christ.

“We have a common cause with the residents and business owners who are being unfairly targeted with these meters,” Christ said at an organizational meeting for the group on Wednesday. “We are taking on their cause and we’re going out to help them [overturn the ordinance].”

As it stands, the city will be adding Cale-brand electronic meters to the ocean block of 146th and 49th Streets, the stretch of 131st Street between Coastal Highway and Sinepuxent Avenue, and the west side of Philadelphia Avenue below the Route 50 Bridge. Meters would also go into the municipal lots at City Hall and the 65th Street Public Safety Building.

Metering of the latter two lots has caused little disturbance, but there has been considerable public outcry about the metering of street parking, especially from adjacent property owners who claim the move will discourage visitors and make it more difficult for property owners to fully utilize their units.

City Council’s proponents of the additions, however, have submitted that hourly parking will encourage turnover and provide more readily available spaces for commercial and beach access, while at the same time collecting revenue from “day-trippers” who do not contribute the resort’s lodging tax.

As a result of the controversy, Meehan proposed a compromise that would see only portions of the streets in question receive metered parking, and the city’s revenue boost reduced from around $150,000 to $125,000. The idea was rejected by the council majority, who went ahead with the full implementation.

Because an unsigned ordinance defaults to law after 15 days, as if it had been signed, the only way for Meehan to prevent the additions would’ve been for him to veto the ordinance. However, this would’ve essentially prevented any additional paid parking, as moving forward with an ordinance after a veto requires a six-member council approval. Two members of the seven-member body – Brent Ashley and Margaret Pillas – have been staunchly opposed to any meter additions.

Ashley was present at the OC Taxpayers for Social Justice meeting this week.

“As an elected official, I feel I’m only an observer,” he said. “But this group wanted to present some ideas, which I think are good ideas, and I want to listen.” “[The additional meters] are going to hurt tourism,” Ashley said. “Our numbers for the spring and what we have so far for the summer are already down. You’re going to lose more than you gain by doing this. It sets a bad precedent.”

After the language of the petition is approved by the city solicitor, Christ’s group – of which a dozen were in attendance this week - would have 40 days to collect the signatures of 40 percent of the number of voters who participated in the last municipal election.

Parking opponents say the city overstepped its bounds by ordering 13 additional Cale-brand meters before the law’s final reading.

Given that 3,064 people voted in the November 2012 city contest, a petition would require 1,226 voters in order to stay the ordinance until it could be put to referendum in the next election, or in a special election.

Christ pointed to the fact that the city had ordered the 13 new meters in April – after the council voted to add them to the budget, but before the ordinance authorizing them had been introduced – as evidence that the city was overstepping its bounds in its search for additional revenues.

“We’re very troubled by the fact that the meters were ordered 45 days before the final hearing on the ordinance,” he said. “It’s a clear overreach of power.”

Meehan said earlier this week that he knew a petition against the meters was in the works, and he feared it was being used as a bogeyman.

“I only hope the petition accurately depicts what the council did and isn’t a scare tactic,” he said.

Along with the petition against the meters, OC Taxpayers for Social Justice will also be circulating a petition for a change to the city’s charter – and effort that has no time limit – to reduce the cap on the town’s debt from 4.5 percent of total assets to 1.5 percent.

Christ said the group is concerned about the city’s indebtedness and the burden that it’s unaccounted obligations place on the municipal budget. Total debt rose from roughly $81 million last year to $96 million this year, he said. Debt service and pension contributions will consume roughly a third of the city’s unrestricted funds for the 2013-2014 fiscal year. Further, the city has more than $40 million in road work that is not being fully funded, Christ said.

“These things are continually put of to make way for salary increases and other extraneous expenses,” Christ said.

Ocean City prepares for July 4 parking switch at inlet lot While visitors typically trickle in gradually during the morning to spend time on the beach and Boardwalk before the evening fireworks, they all leave at the same time once the show is over. Further, because the inlet lot charges by the hour – with patrons taking a time stamp ticket upon entry and paying upon exit – leaving creates more congestion than entering.

“That’s where this whole idea spawned from, that people were getting upset that they had to wait in line to pay and leave, and had to pay for the time they were waiting,” Waters said.

Details of a flat-rate system were worked out in meetings with city staff last week, Waters said.

“Their plan is to make the typical exit lanes the entry lanes, so then you’ll be allowing three lanes of entry for payment,” Waters said. “On a typical Fourth of July, the lot fills up between 10 a.m. and noon. As soon as it fills, they’ll change the flow back.”

Staff will begin flushing the lot at 4 a.m. on July 4, Waters said, and any cars having been left overnight will be charged.

Change intended to cut down on exit congestion following town fireworks ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) With the Fourth of July less than two weeks away, resort officials are confident in their preparations for what may well be the city’s greatest possible experiment in traffic logistics.

“It’s the first time we’ve done this, so there will always be something to learn, but we’re hoping it will go smoothly,” said city Communications Manager Jessica Waters, in regards to the plan to charge a $50 flat fee, upon entry, for Fourth of July parking at the inlet lot.

The plan was approved earlier this year by the City Council on the suggestion of City Engineer Terry McGean, who explained that he was less concerned about the rate and more concerned about solving the logistical nightmare that occurs every Independence Day following the city’s downtown fireworks show.

Buzzuro began his career in law enforcement in 1985 as a rookie with the BCPD, working his way through the ranks until he was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 2007. He has served as a commander in Baltimore City’s Special Enforcement Section, Patrol Division, Criminal Investigation Division, and Internal Investigations Division.

Most recently, Buzzuro was named in February as the new head of Baltimore’s police academy following an incident in which a training officer accidentally shot a recruit in the head by using a live weapon instead of a practice pistol. The incident revealed what were alleged to be

Buzzuro is slated to begin his position in Ocean City on July 2.

“I am honored to serve the residents and visitors of Ocean City as Chief of Police,” Buzzuro said in the release. “As Chief, I understand a key component of public safety is partnering with the community and understanding the dynamic

A turn-around lane will be available for those unaware of the new fee and who do not wish to pay, Water said, although the city will be publicizing the rate structure as much as possible, Waters said.

The normal rate for in-season weekends at the lot is $3 per hour. Assuming that most Fourth of July patrons park in the morning for the beach and Boardwalk activities and do not leave until the fireworks’ conclusion – roughly a 12-hour span – the average cost per car would otherwise be $36.

However, city officials have said they anticipate the rate hike to be acceptable to patrons in exchange for a much more hassle-free experience.

“This is not going to be come-andgo as you please,” Waters noted. “The $50 rate will be parking all day, one entry only.”

McDermott named Legislator of the Year by attorney assoc.

Sheddy-Bennett Act earns delegate recognition from state legal organization (June 21, 2013) Delegate Mike McDermott is the recipient of the 2013 Legislator of the Year Award.

“We are proud to announce that Delegate Michael A. McDermott has been named our Legislator of the Year” stated Steven Kroll, executive director of the Maryland State’s Attorney’s Association.

Delegate Mike McDermott (RWorcester and Wicomico counties) has worked closely with MSAA on several key pieces of legislation while sitting on the House Judiciary Committee.

McDermott also met with MSAA to discuss numerous bills he sponsored this session, such as HB709, the SheddyBennett Act. HB709, now enrolled into law, will increase the maximum penalty for being an accessory after the fact to murder in the first degree from 5-10 years. He also worked with MSAA on many other bills, such as HB727, HB719 and HB765.

“Unanimously the Board of Directors of the Maryland State’s Attorneys Association voted Delegate McDermott 2013 Legislator of the Year. We enjoyed working with him in the past and look forward to working with him in the future on bills on behalf of victims, witnesses, law enforcement, and prosecutors” Kroll said.

McDermott has focussed on several key areas of public safety. His efforts have allowed more cops to remain on the

-Sat Open Mon 9am - 5pm Mike McDermott

streets while insuring that all defendants have access to legal counsel at every stage of the judicial process. This resulted in saving Maryland taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

The Sheddy-Bennett Act insures that those participating in covering up or concealing a murder will not get away with a light sentence.

His non-partisan approach at solving legislative problems has garnered equal support from both sides of the aisle.

“I am grateful to be recognized by the MSAA as their Legislator of the Year”, said McDermott. “Their efforts as an organization in defense of Maryland crime victims and the rule of law have no equal in the General Assembly.”

Council to discuss butt ban on Boardwalk during next session Ashley suggests city look into policy similar to N.J. law as crime deterrent ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) If the law is half as good at keeping order as it is at creating puns, it just might be worth it.

The Town of Ocean City is considering entering the foray in the nationwide debate over saggy pants – and the government’s ability to legislate against them – after one official has suggested a ban on droopy trousers could help solve recent Boardwalk unrest.

Councilman Brent Ashley requested that his colleagues formally discuss a crackdown on exposed cracks at the council’s next public work session, scheduled for July 9, following the recent passage of a similar policy in the resort town of Wildwood, N.J. Municipal enforcement of public decency, Ashley said, could help restore a semblance of order to the Boardwalk after a heavy police action

offenses will receive fines of $25 to $100, and third offenses up to $200.

The obvious contention to this policy is that government should not be regulating personal taste, no matter how poor. But Troiano contends that his ordinance is not an overreach because it addresses a specific amenity – the Boardwalk – where specific styles of dress are unsuitable.

“We didn’t target the whole city. We targeted the Boardwalk because that’s the largest concentration of children and families,” Troiano said. “We’re not talking about the whole town, we’re talking about an area that is specifically child-friendly.”

However, the broader goal of the policy – beyond preventing indecent exposure – is clearly to reduce raucous behavior associated, correctly or not, with young men in saggy pants.

“When you dress that mentality, you act that mentality, and the mentality is to be a thug,” Troiano said. “I know I’m on a fine line here, but at some point you have to take a stand.”

Also of issue is the fact that saggy pants – while by no means racially exclusive – have been popularized by rap culture and are associated with African-American youth.

“I never looked at whether it was a white ass or a black ass,” Troiano countered. “It’s just stupid.”

Four-wheeled scooter pushes limits of law with city and state Town says hands tied until Md. police make allowance or change vehicle criteria ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) In keeping with the resort’s continuing demand for scooters and scooter-based vehicles, a local sports shop appeared before the City Council this week to push for the town’s approval of a new fourwheeled “Scoot Coupe Buggy” – even going so far as to offer test rides in the City Hall parking lot.

But town leaders say the go-ahead for the vehicle is not up to them, and the scooter will remain un-rented for the time being.

Waterways Marina owner Ron Croker told officials Monday night that the vehicle was designed to increase safety for recreational renters who may not be used to driving on two wheels.

“They’re much more familiar to someone who drives a car than are two- or three-wheeled vehicles,” Croker said. “The learning curve is pretty much zero.”

A sort of cross between the threewheeled “scoot coupes” and a dune buggy, the vehicle features a steel roll cage, full complement of lighting, bucket seats with seatbelts, a steering wheel, and a reverse gear. It also has a much wider wheel base than the tipping-prone coupes.

Although it meets all the other requirements for a scooter, including engine size and maximum speed, the vehicle does have four wheels, precluding it from the state’s definition.

This appears to have caused some tension between Croker and the city’s police leadership, with Councilman and Police Commission Chairman Doug Cymek saying it was his understanding that the vehicle was ticketed after having been put on the road.

But Croker said that incident was a test run and was not contentious.

“We were in contact with the officers the whole time,” he said.

The buggy is registered with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration as a scooter, with the appropriate license sticker. But the Ocean City Police Department is bound to follow the traffic rules of the Maryland State Police, who contend that the vehicle is not appropriate. “’The vehicle is not of the type meeting the federal or state definitions,’” Cymek read from an inquiry letter with the MSP. “We can’t change that. Your argument is with the state,” he told Croker.

“For us to say we like it and its okay, we can’t do that,” Council Pres-

ident Lloyd Martin said. “You’re driving it on a state highway.”

Waterways’ mechanic Sean Crosariol said he could change the back axle of the vehicle to have a single wheel, a setup similar to the typical “scoot coupe” which is currently permitted by the state.

“At that point, it would be 100 percent legal,” Crosariol said. “It would take me just a day to swap the rear axle out. But it just doesn’t make sense to modify something so it’s less safe just to meet the legal definition.”

Croker said he is hoping to get some kind of response from the state police shortly to bring back to the city.

The new rental vehicle introduced by Waterways Marina owner Ron Croker, pictured, is presumably safer than three-wheeled coupes, but does not meet state’s current definition.

Maryland Coastal Bays Program to unveil report card

OCEAN CITY TODAY/AZMAN TOY

FIRE PARADE Hundreds of fire companies drive their trucks on Baltimore Avenue, including the Berlin Fire Company, right, during the Maryland State Firemen's Association annual parade on Wednesday.

The Maryland Rescue Service Pipes and Drums, above, also participated in the parade on Baltimore Ave. from 16th to 30th Streets.

(June 21, 2013) The Maryland Coastal Bays Program will unveil the 2012 Report Card, a detailed assessment on the health of the bays behind Ocean City and Assateague, Thursday, June 27, at 4 p.m. at Micky Fins, located in the Ocean City Fishing Center in West Ocean City. The public is invited to attend.

The aim of this report card is to provide a transparent, timely, and geographically detailed assessment of the 2012 Coastal Bay’s health. Coastal Bays health is defined as the progress of four water quality indicators and two biotic indicators toward scientifically derived ecological thresholds or goals. The six indicators are combined into one Coastal Bays health index, presented as a report card score.

The first collaborative effort of a report card which gave Maryland’s coastal bays a C+ grade was launched in 2008, finding sea grasses rebounding but still at levels little more than half of those seen earlier in the decade. That year, as with proceeding ones, show water quality holding steady or improving in the northern bays but declining in the formerly healthier bays south of the Ocean City Inlet. Last year’s report card grade was a C. The report card is a scientific collaborative effort between the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science – Integration and Application Network, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service.

Hundreds of volunteers work with MCBP, including local residents and visitors, to support environmental initiatives to protect, promote, and preserve our coastal bays, by volunteering to count horseshoe crabs, terrapins, and birds, collect water samples, clear neighborhoods, wetlands, and dunes of trash, and assist in many other activities.

Part of the National Estuary Program, the Maryland Coastal Bays Program is a non-profit partnership between the towns of Ocean City and Berlin, the National Park Service, Worcester County, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Maryland Departments of Natural Resources, Agriculture, Environment, & Planning. One of only 28 such programs nationwide, the goal of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program is to protect and enhance the 175-square mile watershed, which includes Ocean City, Ocean Pines and Berlin, and Assateague Island National Seashore.

Report cards will be available after this event at the Maryland Coastal Bays office and area visitor information locations. To obtain copies for school projects and citizen groups, contact Sandi Smith at sandis@mdcoastalbays.org or call 410-213-2297 ext. 107.

A driving mishap caused no injuries when a car crashed through the storefront window of Rick’s Market on 64th Street Wednesday afternoon. The driver, who did not identify herself, said she jumped the bumper when she accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. “Thank God nobody was sitting here,” said Michael Levy, public affairs officer for the Ocean City Police Department, which is carrying out an investigation of the crash.

A 22-year-old Upper Marlboro man was arrested June 13 in connection with numerous thefts at a 10th Street apartment.

An occupant of the rental unit saw a man there and pointed him out to police after he left.

Daniel Lamar Williams allegedly stole a credit card, watches, iPods, cell phones and other items valued at $2,485. The items belonged to the 12 people staying in the unit.

Williams also allegedly urinated all over a bed in the unit. His shorts were unzipped when police confronted him.

A second suspect was not located.

Police charged Williams with first-, third- and fourth-degree burglary, malicious destruction of property and 13 theft charges.

NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) Natural gas will be introduced to parts of Worcester County over a period of time, the Worcester County Commissioners were told Tuesday.

“We’re extremely excited about the opportunity to be in Worcester County,” Jeff Tietbohl, vice president of Chesapeake Utilities said.

Chesapeake Utilities closed on its transaction to acquire the operating assets of Eastern Shore Gas and its affiliate, Eastern Shore Propane Company, May 31. The Maryland Public Service Commission had approved the transaction May 29.

Chesapeake formed a new subsidiary, Sandpiper Energy, to own and operate the former Eastern Shore Gas Company assets. Sandpiper Energy will provide propane and natural gas service to Worcester County residences and businesses.

The companies had filed a joint application for the transaction with the Public Service Commission in September 2012.

“The process was much longer than we expected,” Steve Thompson, senior vice president of Chesapeake Utilities said.

In its first full year of operation, Chesapeake Utilities estimates that Sandpiper Energy will save customers more than $1 million.

“Everybody will pay the same equivalent rate whether it’s propane or natural gas,” Tietbohl said. “It creates advantages for everyone.”

All customers will have the same rate for energy use, whether they are being served from the propane distribution system or have been converted to natural gas. In this way, the cost of converting the distribution system and converting individual customers will be shared by all customers and the savings associated with

the less expensive natural gas will be shared by all customers.

Conversions from propane gas to natural gas are not expected to begin until late 2013 or early 2014, Tietbohl said. It will take time to install the main natural gas distribution lines to the Berlin and Ocean Pines areas. A few larger customers in the Berlin area are expected to be converted to natural gas this summer.

“We have a lot of planning to do,” he said.

Part of the planning involves communicating with propane gas customers and new customers to inform them of the opportunity to switch to natural gas. It must also be determined which appliances can be converted from propane gas to natural gas. If a homeowner decides to replace an appliance instead of converting it, then the homeowner must pay the difference between the cost of conversion and the cost of the replacement.

Sandpiper Energy will provide each homeowner with a conversion assessment, including the cost of each conversion or replacement planned for their appliances and other similar equipment.

Eastern Shore Gas has provided propane service to approximately 11,000 residential and commercial customers in Worcester County. Chesapeake Utilities is engaged in natural gas distribution, transmission and marketing, electric distribution, propane gas distribution and more.

With Chesapeake’s acquisition of Eastern Shore Gas and its affiliate, Eastern Shore Propane, the company will provide natural gas and propane distribution service to approximately 103,800 customers on the Delmarva Peninsula.

The conversion of the underground propane distribution system used by Eastern Shore Gas in the Ocean Pines, Berlin and West Ocean City area is expected to take four to six years. Chesapeake will evaluate the economic potential of providing natural gas service to Ocean City, Snow Hill and Pocomoke.

When Commissioner Louise Gulyas asked about possible service to Ocean City, Thompson told her, “It’s a few years out.”

Town facing ‘do-over’ on Sin City after lengthy court battle Groton rules that sex shop not afforded ‘level playing field’ in license hearing ZACK HOOPES ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) After a lengthy legal battle that resulted in its actions being revoked by the court, the Town of Ocean City will essentially be going back to square one in its ongoing adversarial relationship with Sin City, the adult store in the Bayside Plaza shopping center on 137th Street.

“It’ll almost be like starting from scratch,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres, referring to the possibility that a second business license hearing – essentially a do-over of the contested hearing from October 2011 – could be held as early as next week.

The decision of Worcester County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Groton came down in March of this year, after the controversial case flew largely under the radar since it began 18 months before.

The saga of Sin City, Ocean City’s only sex shop, dates back to its founding by business partners Moshe Bitton and Ofir Bouzaglo in 2007. Almost as soon as it opened, the store caused a massive outcry from city officials and business leaders over the resort’s coveted family image and the damage the story was perceived to have done.

In response, the city passed an ordinance in early 2008 that heavily restricted adult-themed stores via the city’s zoning code, only allowing such business uses outside of a 600-foot minimum distance from religious and recreational facilities.

Such facilities include the beach itself, and given that the entire resort is barely 600 feet wide in some places, the ordinance essentially bans sex shops from all but a few narrow strips of land.

Bitton and Bouzaglo’s store – then named Sex Style – did not meet the location requirements, but was given “grandfathered” zoning status. If the shop was closed for more than six days, however, it would lose its rights to a non-conforming use under the zoning code.

In the spring of 2011, according to court documents, Bitton and Bouzaglo had a contentious falling-out over their business, with Bouzaglo taking over the holding company, BB Novelties Inc., which owned the pair’s Ocean City store as well as stores elsewhere. But Bitton’s name was on the lease at the 137th Street facility, and he threatened to repossess any of Bouzaglo’s merchandise that was in a space that was still technically part his.

To this end, Bouzaglo removed all of his merchandise from Sex Style in June 2011, but continued, he claimed, to return on select nights and weekends with boxes of DVDs to sell and then take with him out of the store.

In the fall, Bouzaglo was able to renew his lease without Bitton, and re-stocked

the store with a new name, Sin City. But when he went to re-apply for a business license, Bouzaglo was told the city had reason to suspect that he had been closed through the summer, and had violated the 60-day statute for non-conforming use.

Bouzaglo requested a business license hearing, a quasi-judicial rendering authorized by state law and under the city’s charter.

The hearing is to be conducted by the city manager, but by the time the hearing was held in October, former City Manager Dennis Dare had already been ousted from his post, leaving Mayor Rick Meehan as acting city manager.

Meehan, according to court docuSee OWNER on Page 16A

OCEAN CITY TODAY/ZACK HOOPES

The Town of Ocean City will be forced to start over with its contention that the adult store Sin City was closed long enough to negate the zoning non-conformity that it was granted in 2008.

PHOTO COURTESY TOWN OF OCEAN CITY

Rain barrels ordered for installment in lots around Ocean City line the street. The barrels collect rain, helping to cut stormwater flows across the city’s streets and sidewalks.

Town helps fund stormwater projects downtown Barrels, rain gardens aid runoff problem on Ocean City’s roads, parking lots CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) Anyone who’s driven through an Ocean City rainstorm is familiar with the sheets of water that cover roadways, making navigating the main strip risky business at best.

What is less obvious is the cause underlying the deluge.

Development along the narrow bar-

rier island has swapped natural landscapes for impermeable roads, sidewalks, parking lots and roofs. Water flows across these surfaces, gathering pollutants along the way, and the entire soup eventually enters local waterways.

“Everything we put down drains, everything we put on our lawns … goes out into the bay,” said Gail Blazer, environmental engineer for Ocean City’s Department of Engineering.

The department is combatting the problem of stormwater runoff with a pilot project aimed to reduce runoff downtown.

Blazer and her team conduct water quality assessments of residential and

business properties and then suggest mitigating efforts, known in the field as BMPs or best management practices, ranging from rain barrels and rain gardens to alternative, permeable surfaces.

The goal is to increased pervious surfaces exposed to the elements, allowing water to seep rather than run.

“What we’re trying to do is slow the flow down, infiltrate some of the water and decrease nutrients” carried into local waterways, Blazer said.

Nutrients, namely nitrogen and phosphorus, are listed on the Clean Water Act’s pollutants of concern because they contribute to algae blooms, she said.

Plants ordered for the Beach District Planting program await planting along Ocean City’s dunes.

The plants help water filter into the ground, slowing flows across the city’s streets and sidewalks.

Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer presents a check on behalf of the City for stormwater management at Old Port Cove West Condominiums.

Excess nutrients in rainwater promote algae and oxygen loss Continued from Page 17A

Algae need them to grow, but too many nutrients create an overabundance of the stuff, contributing to problems like toxic blooms and “dead zones” of oxygen-depleted water.

Nitrogen and phosphorus come from sources that include fertilizers, vehicle emissions and sewage effluent.

Bacteria also enter waterways with runoff and, in high enough doses, can cause problems from skin rashes and infections to hepatitis and dysentery.

Pollutants threaten human and ecosystem health as well as Ocean City’s economy, Blazer said.

“Tourism is our No. 1 industry here and they’re not going to come here if the water’s not clean,” she said.

The Engineering Department has

helped carry out around 800 BMP projects since the early 2000s. By its former intern Jenelle Irwin’s estimates, they have reduced Ocean City’s phosphorus output by almost 8,000 pounds.

The projects have made a clear difference at Pyramid Condominiums, where four large filtering chambers were installed to catch rainwater about a year ago, said General Manager Robert Paroda.

In addition to remedying flooding in the complex’s parking lots after storms, the BMPs help slow the flow of water and keep it clear of pollutants that would otherwise gather as it flowed across impermeable roads.

“It’s just a clean way to get water back into the ground, where nature intended it,” Paroda said.

OC needs international workers, committee tells State Dept.

City supplies data to back student exemption on new federal immigration policy NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) Ocean City’s long involvement with international students could influence legislators considering an exemption in the Senate Immigration Bill that would ensure international students could continue to come to the resort and elsewhere in this country for short-term employment.

The international students, participants in the State Department’s Exchange Visitor Program, pay fees to sponsor organizations for placement and

related services to be able to work for three months and travel on their J-1 visas for one month before returning to their home countries.

Many businesses need the international workers and would find it difficult, if not impossible, to continue without them. Because the need for them is so great and because Ocean City is considered a model for the program because of the involvement of so many citizens who work to enhance the students’ experiences, the Department of State asked the resort’s Seasonal Workforce Committee for information about the need to continue the program.

Carrie Linch, chairwoman of the Seasonal Workforce Committee and eastern regional director for ASPIRE, one of the sponsor organizations, got the call about two weeks ago from the Department of

State asking for data on the Work Travel Program and its effect in Ocean City.

“They asked for us to do it immediately,” Linch said.

Members of the Seasonal Workforce Committee gathered information from several sources and Linch compiled it into a written format, which she sent Monday, June 10, to the Education and Cultural Affairs Bureau at the Department of State. The information will be used for a briefing before that department and Congress.

“It shows how rich our history is,” Linch said of the informational packet that details how the international students started coming to work in the resort in the late 1970s. At first, their numbers were small. In 1982, Trimper Rides employed about a dozen students.

That number steadily grew and now they have approximately 150 international students working at the amusement business.

Community involvement with the students also began in the 1980s when some students started showing up at Ocean City Baptist Church downtown for fellowship and assistance. Church members took a keen interest in the students and started helping them in various ways. Eventually, church members would provide meals, toiletries, bags of food and more items to the students and other churches began welcoming students with meals and additional assistance.

“Volunteerism has been at the heart of Ocean City’s community involvement with the program,” Linch wrote. “The outreach programs and church dinners have hundreds of volunteers helping out with their programs.”

By 2005, the mayor and the City Council realized the students needed help with their mounting problems, in-

cluding phony job offers, substandard housing, pay issues and more. They formed the Seasonal Employee Quality of Life Task Force, whose goal was “to identify the problems, find solutions and to educate the community and businesses regarding the Summer Work Travel Program.”

That task force was revamped and evolved in 2008 into the Seasonal Workforce Committee under the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce. It continues to hold conferences, started by the task force and attended by representatives of numerous sponsors, to educate employers about the Work Travel Program. It also continues to work on various issues facing the students and holds orientations at City Hall to welcome them to Ocean City and to educate them about the resort and its regulations.

The committee wants to continue its work because the international students are vital to the resort’s economy and because coming to this country to work and travel provides them with an unmatched cultural experience.

Last year, there were approximately 3,645 international students in the Ocean City area. That number included more than 600 students from Ireland and approximately the same number from Romania.

“Nearly every business in Ocean City either hires J-1 participants as part of their seasonal staff or relies on the participants for a portion of their income from sales of products and merchandise during the summer season,” Linch wrote to the Department of State in support of the exemption for the international students in the Senate Immigration Bill.

“Of course, we’re hopeful it’ll be altered and the program will remain,” Linch said last Thursday. “We’re doing everything we can.”

Water management provides health, environmental benefits Continued from Page 19A

Yet, despite sending out hundreds of letters to homeowners in May, few people have solicited Blazer’s help, likely failing to see the benefits of BMPs, she said.

“Ninety percent of people would do the right thing, if they knew what the right thing was,” Blazer said.

“I think that’s the biggest hurdle — trying to get people interested,” said Department of Engineering intern Micki Ruppert, who is helping with the project during summer break Penn State University, where she is earning a bachelor’s degree in community environment development.

Both agreed that more outreach is the key.

Blazer called the benefits of BMP projects two-fold: As home and business owners use landscaping and gardens to reduce runoff, they also increase their curb appeal. The living landscapes ben-

efit birds and other animals, too.

Longtime resident of Montego Bay, Marcy Hightower, recently installed a rain barrel with Blazer’s help.

“It’s truly going to help” reduce problems with runoff, Hightower said, and “it’s not complicated to put together.”

She plans to use the collected rain to water her garden.

“There is a win-win here,” Blazer said.

Some of the costs of BMPs downtown are carried by Engineering Department funds and a matching grant by the Storm Water Management Rebate Cost Share Program.

Though the pilot project focuses on the area south of 18th Street, Blazer encouraged anyone interested in BMPs to contact her.

For more information or to set up an assessment, contact Blazer at gblazer@ oceancitymd.gov or 410-289-8825.

Residents leery of alcohol sales given area’s drug history Continued from Page 21A

The store’s primary customers are neighborhood residents who walk there and campers on their way to one of the parks at Assateague who pick up food and camping supplies. Many of those campers have asked for beer and wine, Sandhar said.

Diana Purnell, who does not live in the neighborhood but is involved in neighborhood activities, said many families with children live in the area of Uncle Willie’s and if the board granted the request for a beer and wine license, it “will bring many unwanted activities in the neighborhood.”

Purnell talked about the “major drug problem” of a few years ago and said then-Worcester County State’s Attorney Joel Todd put together a program to clean up the area. With the help of Police Chief Arnold Downing, the program was successful and she did not want the area to return to the way it used to be, she said.

“Berlin has fought too hard too long,” Purnell said. “We cannot afford to compromise the community.”

Gabriel Purnell, Diana’s husband, also talked about Todd’s program to rid the area of drug dealers and said some young black men arrested at the time were sentenced to 25 years in prison.

“It sent a message,” he said.

Purnell also said he did not want a convenience store to sell alcohol in a residential neighborhood.

“We believe there are enough problems in the neighborhood,” he said.

Roxie Dennis, president of the Worcester County branch of the NAACP, said the area continues to have problems.

“It has not gone away,” Dennis said.

“This would add to the problem. It has gone down, but there is still a problem there. People are still hanging out at that corner.”

Flower Street resident Mary O’Neal had a different reason for opposing sales of beer and wine at Uncle Willie’s.

“Somebody could buy a case, drive across the highway and be killed,” O’Neal said.

Attorney Pete Cosby, speaking on behalf of Uncle Willie’s, said none of the speakers had said there is a problem with the store and his clients had contributed to fixing up the neighborhood. Cosby said there “is a definite public need” for the beer and wine license for Uncle Willie’s.

“This is serving a public need,” Cosby said. “It is strategically located to serve the public need. I urge you to look at the realities of the situation.”

The board looked at those realities, but came to the conclusion that the public need was being served by nearby establishments selling beer and wine and that the neighborhood would be disturbed by such sales at Uncle Willie’s.

(June 21, 2013) In yet another example of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ongoing adaptation to the post-bubble real estate market, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning and Zoning Commission this week approved a new plan for the Broad Marsh development, which will now be continued as a multi-phase townhouse project instead of a condominium complex.

The proposal had been brought before the commission earlier this month, but been tabled after the developers said they were unclear about how the city would be reviewing their project during the process.

The housing development, located between 69th and 70th Streets west of Coastal Highway, had been designed and partially constructed several years ago as a condominium. But work was soon discontinued, with only the first phase of construction complete.

That facility currently exists as a condo. But the developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backers told the city recently that they would like to pick the project back up, but instead be able to sell the units as fee-simple structures on individual land parcels, instead of the condominium system. This would allow units to be constructed and sold with customer demand, reducing the investment overhead of the project.

This required the original layout of the development to be tweaked so all of the units, while still joined together, would be sitting on their own lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the initial phase had what we call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stackedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; condos, where your unit was on top of another unit and not on its

own ground per se,â&#x20AC;? city Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith told the commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are now gone, everything is fee-simple from the ground up.â&#x20AC;?

Each unit will now have its own sewer and water access line, as fee-simple homes are not allowed to share such utilities as condo units are. The layout of the development will remain unchanged, however, with roads to be built on public easements between the rows of homes.

These roads will not be maintained by the city, but by a homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s association to be formed for the development.

This association will also assume control over the shared amenities, such as a swimming pool, originally designed for the condominium project, which are still slated to be built. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do have agreements in place between the prior part of the project and this new phase to use and maintain those facilities,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

However, the developer will be responsible for those facilities until the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s association has enough members to become self-sufficient. Once a certain percentage of the development is sold, state law requires the developer to turn over control to the homeowners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can do it before that, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t behoove you to do so because you lose control [over the powers of the association],â&#x20AC;? said project representative Josh Mastrangelo.

Regardless of the plans, however, each phase of construction on the project will be given separate approvals by the city, as if they were separate projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each phase has to stand on its own merits,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Peck Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phase one and phase two have to stand alone in case you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish.â&#x20AC;?

The commission approved a preliminary subdivision for the lot, as well as the plans for the first two phases of construction.

Worcester school board says farewells, approves fiscal plans CLARA VAUGHN â&#x2013; Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Worcester County Board of Education meeting was marked with a host of farewells amid business as the summer brings turnover of students and staff.

School Board President Robert Rothermel Jr. said the meeting was â&#x20AC;&#x153;like a bon voyage party,â&#x20AC;? sending off Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Dr. John Gaddis, among others.

Gaddis will leave Worcester schools to become superintendent of Somerset County schools July 1. He has been in the county schools for 22 years as an elementary school teacher, principal and

coordinator of technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a wonderful experience here,â&#x20AC;?

Gaddis said after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited for the challenges of being in a new system.â&#x20AC;?

struction and renovation project at Snow Hill High School on schedule to start construction in January 2014 and to do an architectural and engineering feasibility study at Showell Elementary School to prepare for future renovations.

The board also passed its fiscal year 2014 operating budget, which includes a 1.5 percent increase in bus drivers’ pay, a one-time provision of $30,000 to increase Worcester schools’ broadband capacity, a one-time provision of $100,000 to go towards the Showell Elementary feasibility study, and $700,000 in additional budget reductions and realignments.

The board approved an agreement made between teachers and staff that provides an incremental increase in salary based on qualifying experience and a 1 percent increase for employees

beyond that.

One member of the public spoke at the meeting, voicing concerns over plans to roll out the Common Core State Standards, a national set of benchmarks for K-12 students, next school year.

“Eighty percent of the public knows very little about Common Core,” he said.

Taxpayers “are entitled to be informed.”

He requested a series of forums on the Common Core standards, preferably in the evening so parents can attend after work, though Rothermel noted later that holding meetings in the evening has not increased attendance in the past.

The next Worcester County School Board meeting will be July 16 at 12:30 p.m. Those wishing to comment for more than two minutes should contact the superintendent’s office by July 11 so their items can be included on the agenda.

NANCY POWELL â&#x2013; Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) Pedestrians walking to the Harry Kelley Bridge will be safer in West Ocean City after planned sidewalks are installed.

On Tuesday, the Worcester County Commissioners gave their support to the State Highway Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to install sidewalks, dependant on a memo of understanding with the state. Donnie Drewer, the SHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district traffic engineer, said the state does not maintain sidewalks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the county to maintain it after we build it,â&#x20AC;? Drew said.

Ken Cimino, the SHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant district traffic engineer, said he had started work on a plan for pedestrian safety in West Ocean City in 2011. He studied the intersections and â&#x20AC;&#x153;determined pedestrian crossings were warranted.â&#x20AC;?

A crosswalk was recently installed at Route 50 and Golf Course Road and another crosswalk, at Route 50 and Route 611, is in the design phase.

The current intent, Cimino said, is to construct a sidewalk on the south side of Route 50 from Route 611 to Inlet Isle Lane. The proposed sidewalk would be placed 20 feet eight inches from the stripe line between the outside travel lane and the auxiliary lane. That location allows a future bike lane to be placed adjacent to a 12-foot auxiliary lane.

From Inlet Isle Lane to the existing sidewalk near the bridge, a new curb and 5-foot sidewalk would use a portion of the existing shoulder and provide for a 5-foot bicycle-compatible shoulder.

From there, east to the bridge, a new 5foot-wide sidewalk would be constructed to 650 feet from the bridge replacing the existing sidewalk.

For the westbound roadway on the north side of Route 50 from Route 611 to Golf Course Road, an existing sidewalk meanders east. This sidewalk is relatively new and in relatively good condition, according to the sidewalk feasibility study prepared for the SHA. From Golf Course Road to west of Inlet Isle Lane, the sidewalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alignment is nearly parallel to Route 50 and is in good condition.

From there, plans call for a new curb and sidewalk to be constructed to 650 feet from the bridge. At the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east end, an existing 4.4-feet-wide sidewalk would be replaced with a 5-foot-wide sidewalk over the bridge. The guardrails would also be replaced.

The work is estimated to cost $1.1 million. That estimate does not include right-of-way, if required.

Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners and a resident of West Ocean City, said he had been getting an average of one call each month about the need for pedestrian safety in that area. In addition to that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the topic of every WOCA (West Ocean City Association) meeting Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attended,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Neither Drewer nor Cimino provided a timetable for construction of the project.

Loans now available to some small Worcester businesses Proceeds from Maryland casinos to be offered as low-interest loans, credit NANCY POWELL â&#x2013; Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) Small business owners may reap the benefits of casino gambling.

More than $400,000 in low interest loans is available to them and to minority business owners. Worcester County will get the money to support local businesses because in April the state Board of Public Works approved a joint application Worcester filed with the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation for the funds. The funds, which are generated by casinos, will be available to the county for up to five consec-

utive years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get the money back into our community,â&#x20AC;? Worcester County Economic Development Director Bill Badger told the Local Development Council during its Tuesday meeting in Snow Hill.

Statewide, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three casinos generated $7.86 million or 1.5 percent of revenue from slot machines that is required to go into the Small, Minority and Women-owned Business Account.

Money is available for companies with fewer than 500 employees and annual revenues that average $35 million or fewer dollars during a three-year period.

Commitments to the tune of about $150,000 have already been made to a couple of Ocean City businesses, Badger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off to a good start,â&#x20AC;? he said, See HALF on Page 27A

DNR asks citizens to snap and share high tide, flooding photos State looking to estimate impact of future sea level rise in coastal locations (June 21, 2013) With Maryland set to experience the highest tides of the summer June 22-25, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is asking residents in coastal areas to take pictures of the resulting high waters and flooding and submit them to the department.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;King Tidesâ&#x20AC;? as they are often called, give planners a look at what potential future sea level rise may look like.

These photographs will be used in educational and outreach materials to build awareness on how coastal flooding affects Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoreline. Building a photo library will help planners understand how floods are impacting area schools, homes, harbors, beaches, public access points and other public infrastructure. DNR Chesapeake & Coastal Service (CCS) will also use this information to help vulnerable communities that

but he added that he wants to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get the word outâ&#x20AC;? to business owners so they will apply for the low-interest funds. Applications for the loans, which range from $25,000 and up, are being accepted now. Loans may be given out starting July 1.

Interest rates for the loans range from 2 percent to 5.25 percent. Both fixed and variable rates are offered. The loans may be term loans, lines of credit or commercial mortgages.

Linda Dearing, a member of the Local Development Council and owner of Copy Central in Ocean Pines and West Ocean City, said she knew about the money from casinos to be used to help businesses, but she had not known whom to contact about it. Badger raised his hand. He just got another applicant for the loan funds.

Half of the funds will be targeted to those companies located within a 10mile radius of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casinos. The remaining half will be available to small

businesses fitting the criteria outside those target areas. That makes qualified businesses countywide in Worcester eligible for funds, but that did not appease Snow Hill Mayor Charles Dorman, a member of the Local Development Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind-boggling,â&#x20AC;? that his town would not get more funds, he said during Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting.

The Local Development Council is mandated by the state to oversee the use of impact funds derived from casinos.

Impact funds from revenue at Ocean Downs goes to Worcester County, Ocean City, Berlin and Ocean Pines. To Dormanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismay, Snow Hill does not share in the funds.

Local Development Council member Cam Bunting of Berlin said she wants to know how the funds have been spent and wants to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;line itemsâ&#x20AC;? during the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next meeting, which is scheduled for Sept. 16 in Snow Hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had letters, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of vague,â&#x20AC;? Bunting said.

may experience coastal hazards and increased flooding in the future.

King Tides are natural, predictable tides and are not related to sea level rise or climate change. As waters continue to rise, coastal areas will become more atrisk to the impacts of storm surges, flooding and other coastal hazards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Climate change is expected to increase the number of extreme storm events to the point where the floods of today become tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high tides,â&#x20AC;? said DNR CoastSmart Communities Planner Kate Skaggs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the State and its citizens do not adapt, however, areas that do see flooding from the King Tides could be an example of what communities may experience as a result of future sea level rise.â&#x20AC;?

CCS is also working to provide vulnerable coastal communities with financial

and technical assistance through the CoastSmart Communities Initiative to develop plans and policies that better prepare them for the impacts of and recovery from future storm events, shoreline changes and sea level rise. The next request for proposals will be released in late November 2013.

PHOTO COURTESY MARY HEDLESKY

Mike Hedlesky, an Ocean City resident, recently competed in the Classic Raw World Men’s Championships in Suzdal, Russia. He was on the team from the USA competing against powerlifters from all over the world. He won the gold medal with a 777-pound deadlift. The USA team came in second place overall. Hedlesky finished in eighth place overall and was competing with a torn quad and broken foot. He returned to Ocean City on Monday night and was back training Tuesday morning for Nationals in Orlando, Fla. in five weeks.

Hedlesky wins gold medal with 777lb. deadlift OC resident has standout performances during competitions in Russia LIZ LANE ■ Intern (June 21, 2013) Ocean City resident Mike Hedlesky, 28, arrived in Suzdal, Russia June 11 after more than 30 hours of traveling to compete in the Classic Powerlifiting World Men’s Championship. Despite a torn quad and broken foot, he won the gold medal for his 777pound deadlift and placed eighth overall.

“The level of competition was insane,” he said. “It was very discouraging going into such a high-level strength event with some serious injuries. But, in the end, all that just made my gold in the Deadlift even more rewarding.”

The 6-foot-2-inch athlete competed on the U.S. world team, which placed second overall, against powerlifters from around the world. Other events in the five-day competition included the squat and bench press. Hedlesky said his in-

jury only allowed him to squat with 575 pounds, which is 100 pounds lighter than his original goal.

“My torn quad was just extremely tight during the competition,” he said.

“When I initially injured it a month out from the competition, I found it hard to even bend my leg and put any weight on it. Even through I did a very good job taking care of the injury before I got to Russia, I feel extremely fortunate that I made it through the competition without doing and further damage to it.”

Hedlesky weighed in at 256 pounds for the competition and trained for 11 weeks. He said each week he completed four heavy, 90-minute workouts and about 12 short, 10- to 20-minute workouts that included light stretching, conditioning and aerobic activity.

“People think I am nuts when I tell them I do up to 20 workouts a week,” he said.

While in Suzdal, Hedlesky spent his down time touring the city. He said he enjoyed the scenery, old buildings and eating the food.

“The restaurants in the town had some pretty good food,” he said. “I had to order about three entrees when I went

out because the portion sizes were so small.”

Hedlesky currently works as a personal trainer at Atlantic Physical Therapy in Berlin and West Ocean City Fitness. He said he first began lifting at age 14 to prepare for his high school football team and never looked back.

“I love lifting because it is something where your potential is completely determined by how hard and smart you work at it,” he said. “There are so many chaotic unknown variables in life but 500 pounds will always be 500 pounds.”

“I am really looking forward to competing in Olympic Weightlifting and Strongman competitions in the future,” Hedlesky said.

Hedlesky will travel to Orlando, Fla., in five weeks for another national championship competition. He said he is especially excited because he will be injury-free. The powerlifter said he hopes to continue sharing his passion for weight training and athletics.

“I would love to eventually open up a small private training facility that focuses on highly supervised youth training programs for sports and personal training for adults,” he said.

(June 21, 2013) The Ocean City Marlin Club’s 34th annual Small Boat Tournament is scheduled to begin Saturday, June 22 for fishing boats 34 feet long and smaller.

Registration for the weekend-long event will begin today, Friday, at 6:30 p.m. at the Marlin Club, located on Golf Course Road in West Ocean City.

A captain’s meeting will follow at 8 p.m. The competition is open to Marlin Club members and non-members.

A record 48 boats carrying approximately 250 anglers went fishing during the 2012 tournament. Director Bill Regan said he expects approximately 40 families to register this year.

“The nice thing about this is that it has turned into a family event,” Regan said. “It’s not unusual to see a bunch of kids out there. Then we have a big crab feast at the end. It’s really a lot of fun.”

Participants will fish from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. either Saturday or Sunday, June 22-23. Regan said anglers can fish in the inshore or offshore divisions, but also have the option to compete in both.

The inshore division includes categories for flounder, sea bass, tautog, bluefish, rockfish and shark. Offshore division categories include tuna, dolphin, shark and billfish release. There is a $500 bonus for the heaviest flounder and tuna.

Weigh-ins will take place Saturday and Sunday from 3-6:30 p.m. at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City. An Eastern Shore-style crab feast and awards banquet is schedule to follow on Sunday from 6:30-9 p.m.

The entry fee is $200 to fish offshore or inshore. Five banquet tickets are included in the fee. To fish inshore one day and offshore the other, the cost is $400 and includes 10 banquet tickets. Added entry-level calcuttas are available for each division and cost $100, $200 and $300. The $200 offshore billfish added entry level is winner takes all.

“I’m excited to see everybody because this tournament really kicks off the season,” Regan said. “I’m excited to get everybody in here, see the kids, see some good fish and have some crabs.”

Intimidator crew wins OC Shark Tournament release division Team throws back three hammerheads, five makos, one tiger and one sandbar LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (June 21, 2013) For the second consecutive year, weather and poor fishing conditions played a factor in a low turnout of participants for the Ocean City Shark Tournament.

In 2012, 11 boat captains and their teams braved extremely rough seas and windy conditions. Because of poor conditions offshore, the tournament started a day later last year in the hopes the ocean would calm and the wind die down. Neither did. The only fish brought to the Ocean City Fishing Center scale in West Ocean City were three bluefish.

This year, 13 boats register to compete in the tournament. Teams were originally scheduled to go out two of three days, Thursday through Saturday, June 13-15, but because of poor weather conditions forecasted, tournament organizers added Sunday, June 16, as a fishing day.

“It was bad Thursday and Friday. Saturday was rough, but fishable,” said tournament Director Mark Sampson.

“Sunday it was very nice all day.”

Three boats headed offshore on Day 1

of the 33rd annual tournament. None fished Friday. All 13 went out Saturday and 10 fished Sunday.

“We’re just happy to be able to pull something off and have an event,” Sampson said. “We’re happy for the teams that did decide to get in the tournament and that they caught a few fish and won some

Crowds gathered at the fishing center dock each day in the hopes of seeing sharks being weighed, but none were brought to the scale. The only fish that was weighed was a bluefish. Wayne Gast landed a 12.9-pounder while fishing on No Limits last Saturday. The crew took

home $1,540 for the catch.

The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation– one of the tournament’s sponsors–funds scientific research and educational programs to encourage conservation and best management practices for sustainable marine environments. The foundation contributed $12,500 to the release division purse.

The Intimidator crew released three hammerheads, three makos, one tiger and one sandbar shark on Saturday. The next day they released two makos. The team earned 38 points to win the release division. The group was awarded a total of $10,840.

The Double Eagle team finished in second place with 16 points for releasing six sandbar/dusky sharks and one mako.

The crew received $1,920.

The anglers fishing on Still Searching cut one mako, one blue shark, one sandbar/dusky and two tiger sharks loose. The team racked up 15 points, good for third place and $4,790.

Fifteen-year-old Charles Dewitt released a spinner and mako aboard Restless Lady to take top honors in the junior angler division. He won $500.

Still Searching junior angler 9-year-old Mason Howell released a tiger shark and 10-year-old Noah Morris threw back a mako while fishing on Intimidator. Howell was presented with $250 and Morris earned a trophy.

Raccoon that attacked person in north Ocean City had rabies Aggressive animal charges Northside Park visitors; county advises caution (June 21, 2013) The Worcester County Health Department confirmed Wednesday afternoon that a raccoon that attacked a person in north Ocean City tested positive for rabies.

A citizen notified the health department Tuesday morning of an aggressive raccoon near Northside Park that attacked one person. Two more people were charged by what authorities believe is the same raccoon.

Rabies is an ongoing issue in Worcester County and affects local wildlife. Animals most frequently confirmed with rabies in the county are raccoons, followed by foxes, skunks, groundhogs and cats.

Any person or animal that may have had contact with this or other rabies suspect wildlife may be at risk of rabies exposure.

To report any contact with or exposure to this raccoon, call the Worcester County Health Department at 410-632-1100 or 410-352-3234. Any potential exposures should be reported immediately so a risk assessment can be done.

If a pet has had contact with a wild or suspect animal, contact your veterinarian and the health department. Wounds found on an outdoor pet from an unwitnessed encounter should be treated as a possible rabies exposure. Currently vaccinated animals should be reboostered after exposure.

Sick acting, aggressive wildlife or strays should be reported immediately so law enforcement can assess the situation, contain the suspect animal and minimize other exposure to pets or persons.

The health department recommends the following tips to protect your pets and family from rabies exposure: Vaccinate pets and keep those vaccinations current. Maryland law requires vaccination against rabies for all dogs, cats and ferrets over 4 months old. Rabies shots have a limited time of protection, so citizens should verify that their pets are currently protected.

Do not feed pets outdoors. Pet food or the odor of it in empty containers and on the ground draws wildlife. While looking for food is normal behavior for raccoons and foxes, these animals may return to areas they frequent if they become rabid.

Secure trash cans and dumpster lids for the same reason. Wild animals forage for food and minimizing food sources will discourage wildlife from coming to your property.

Remove strays from the community. Stray cats are of particular concern, as they are competing for food with wildlife and have more opportunity for exposure to rabid wildlife. Many of the fights with raccoons go unwitnessed, and are only noted after the cat becomes rabid. Cats are the most frequently identified rabid domestic animal.

Report immediately to local law enforcement or animal control any abnormally behaving or aggressive wild animal or stray, particularly if contact to humans or pets is imminent or has already occurred. Do not touch bare-handed any pet that has fought with a wild or suspect rabid animal. Determination will be made as to the disposition of the offending animal and the need for rabies testing.

New Worcester County liquor business on Route 50 doing fine store it replaced.

By late May, it had already caught up with what the West Ocean City store had been doing, said Bobby Cowger, director of the Worcester County Department of Liquor Control during the June 4 meeting of the Worcester County Commissioners.

In addition, the new store, which opened May 21 in the Verizon Plaza, “has not taken anything away from Berlin,” Cowger said.

Many anticipated that the new liquor dispensary would draw business away

Berlin Mayor Gee Williams had told the county commissioners a few months ago that he was concerned that the town might not continue to get funds if the Liquor Mart there closed. Cowger said last week, however, that funds would not cease.

“All towns will get grants instead of profits,” Cowger said. “Berlin will get money.”

In addition to the new Northern Worcester Shore Spirits store and wholesale outlet and the Berlin dispensary, the Department of Liquor Control maintains liquor dispensaries in Snow Hill, Pocomoke and in Ocean City where one dispensary is located at 18th Street and the other is located in the parking lot of the Gold Coast Mall at 115th Street.

Plans to cease operations at the Snow Hill retail location just off the Market Street entrance to the town and move them to the wholesale building on Route 12 were put on hold for a year because of high bids.

from the older dispensary located in the Food Lion Shopping Center and preliminary plans were for that store to close.

How long it might stay open remains to be seen.

“There will probably be no decision until the end of summer,” Cowger said.

As for licensees purchasing liquor wholesale from the new location, “They’ve all adapted to it. They seem to be happy. The selection is there. The volume is there.”

On Tuesday, the Worcester County Commissioners adopted the budget for fiscal year 2013 for the Department of Liquor Control.

The proposed budget keeps intact pricing and gross profit at the retail store level and will continue the practice that file-offs and bulk purchase discounts are passed through to the wholesale licensees.

That $15.66 million budget, up $46,700 from the fiscal year 2013 budget, has estimated retail revenues of $5 million and estimated wholesale revenues of $10.6 million. On the expense side, anticipated expenses include $12 million for the cost of goods sold, $1.98

5th St., On the Boardwalk, Ocean City | 410-289-2690

(June 21, 2013) The Maryland Coastal Bays Program will unveil the 2012 Report Card, a detailed assessment on the health of the bays behind Ocean City and Assateague, Thursday, June 27, at 4 p.m. at Micky Fins, located in the Ocean City Fishing Center in West Ocean City. The public is invited to attend.

The aim of this report card is to provide a transparent, timely, and geographically detailed assessment of the 2012 Coastal Bay’s health. Coastal Bays health is defined as the progress of four water quality indicators and two biotic indicators toward scientifically derived ecological thresholds or goals. The six indicators are combined into one Coastal Bays health index, presented as a report card score.

The first collaborative effort of a report card which gave Maryland’s coastal bays a C+ grade was launched in 2008, finding sea grasses rebounding but still at levels little more than half of those seen earlier in the decade. That year, as with proceeding ones, showed water quality holding steady or improving in the northern bays but declining in the formerly healthier bays south of the Ocean City Inlet. Last year’s report card grade was a C. The report card is a scientific collab-

orative effort between the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science – Integration and Application Network, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service.

Hundreds of volunteers, including local residents and visitors, work with MCBP to support environmental initiatives to protect, promote, and preserve our coastal bays, by volunteering to count horseshoe crabs, terrapins, and birds, collect water samples, clear neighborhoods, wetlands, and dunes of trash, and assist in many other activities.

Part of the National Estuary Program, the Maryland Coastal Bays Program is a non-profit partnership between the towns of Ocean City and Berlin, the National Park Service, Worcester County, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Maryland Departments of Natural Resources, Agriculture, Environment, & Planning. One of only 28 such programs nationwide, the goal of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program is to protect and enhance the 175-square mile watershed, which includes Ocean City, Ocean Pines and Berlin, and Assateague Island National Seashore.

Report cards will be available after this event at the Maryland Coastal Bays office and area visitor information locations. To obtain copies for school projects and citizen groups, contact Sandi Smith at sandis@mdcoastalbays.org or call 410-213-2297 ext. 107.

More paid parking: Do you want it or not?

To pay or not to pay for parking. That is the question a recently announced petition drive seeks to answer, ostensibly by putting Ocean City government’s new parking ordinance on hold until a referendum on the issue can be held.

Whether such a petition will be successful is anyone’s guess, given the large voter turnout in the last election and the requirement that petitions be signed by a specific percentage of eligible voters to pass legal muster.

But regardless of the petition’s chances, residents and taxpayers should be asking if more paid parking is the way to go. The introduction of a few metered spaces will undoubtedly lead to more in the years ahead.

As the California longshoreman/philosopher Eric Hoffer once observed, poor people want some, rich people want more.

That thinking certainly applies to government, which is always on the lookout for any means of generating more revenue that doesn’t involve the word “tax.”

Money produced by metered parking would fall into that category, suggesting that an expansion of metering would be difficult to resist should government find itself running short on cash.

People whose properties aren’t affected by this addition of a relatively few metered spaces, may believe they have nothing at stake in this argument, but they do.

This isn’t an argument either for or against more paid parking, but just an advisory of sorts that once something begins, it is nearly impossible to prevent from growing.

Maybe it won’t be immediate, and maybe, like the time gap between the lottery’s introduction and full-fledged gambling, it will take years.

But it will happen at some point. Whether residents and business operators want it is the question.

READERS’ FORUM

Agency says it’s not targeting inner cities Editor, In last week’s Ocean City Today, Councilmember Brent Ashley stated that “we (Ocean City) push all this marketing in inner city Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, to the tune of $5,000,000 ... you’re getting what you ask for.”

His assertion was also stated by former Councilmember Joe Hall in Facebook posts in response to an article in The Dispatch.

As the president of MGH, the town’s advertising agency, let me clear up these completely inaccurate statements. Almost all of Ocean City’s visitors come from four states – Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, plus the District of Columbia. Our advertising is directed at attracting and retaining those visitors. There has never been one dollar of the town’s advertising budget directed at the inner city.

We primarily advertise on television, radio, billboards and online.

All programming is specifically selected to reach our primary target – families traveling with their children. On TV, we buy The Today

Show, Good Morning America, Katie Couric, Jeopardy, Dr. Oz, How I Met Your Mother, Two and Half Men, and many others.

On cable, we buy high profile networks including The History Channel, Discovery, Bravo, A&E, Animal Planet, and MASN. Our outdoor boards are on major commuter highways, not inner city streets. All of the radio stations and websites are selected with the same criteria.

Obviously, we can’t stop anyone from seeing our ads if they choose to be exposed to them, but the idea that we have ever targeted the “inner city” is completely false.

It is also worth noting that the state of New Jersey and Atlantic City have a combined $40,000,000 advertising budget this year, roughly eight times our spend, all directed at the same areas we target.

Banning weenies not tourist friendly Editor, I am writing today to highlight a problem that was addressed in the June 7, 2013 issue of OC

Today.

The Dew Tour had planned to allow one of their sponsors, 7 Eleven, to give out 2-ounce hot dogs as a promotion.

It is disconcerting to find that our city council has declared war on free stuff. A city council that has given us so much over the years, i.e. North Side Park, mounted police, and parking meters, yet they squash teeny weenies.

We all know that Madison Avenue has employed the free stuff gambit for decades. Free stuff has been the incentive that attracts consumers the world over. It worked for Cracker Jacks for 100 years. And how about that Venus flytrap?

But I digress. They are denying our hard working tourist a mere morsel of nourishment because it’s free? They have “Whacked Teeny Weenies.” OMG. Surly they are overstepping their authority when they, without so much as a discussion, whack teeny weenies. Citizens of Delmarva unite.

Brown says gas tax opposition needs lesson public-private partnerships to take on opponents of the phased-in gas tax hike.

Lt. Gov. claims fuel fee is necessary for investment in transport, infrastructure

“There are some people who want to lead this state who don’t want to make that infrastructure investment. Anyone that thinks we can grow our economy without investing in transportation doesn’t know a whole lot about economic growth.”

ALEXANDER PYLES ■ The Daily Record Newswire

By Stewart Dobson Writing about the possibility of banning saggy pants on the Boardwalk, or, more accurately, banning saggy pants on people on the Boardwalk, begs for wise cracks.

I’m disinclined to do that, however, since it isn’t much of a challenge to say, for instance, that the droopy drawer syndrome has become the joke of many butts.

No, what I am wondering is whether government pants profiling might lead to further sartorial restrictions. If so, I propose that we also put an end to old men who hike their pants up to their chests.

Having crossed the age equator myself some time ago, I am familiar with this phenomenon, which, when I was young, was called “wearing your pants at the creep level.”

As it is, some men hit a certain age and suddenly say to themselves, “Hey, I would look really good if I pulled my pants up to my armpits.”

The theory, I suppose, is that this fashion approach will hide or disguise the paunch, large or small, that resides somewhere near the actual waistline.

“That’s it,” they seem to say, “If I make it look like my waist is 15 inches higher than what it really is, women won’t notice that my stomach really looks like a 50-pound sack of bird seed.”

Men being somewhat self-delusional anyway, it would not occur to practitioners of creep level pants-wearing that most women aren’t looking at them anyway. The fact is, they can’t, because once men hit a certain age, an automatic cloaking device is manifested that completely conceals them from all women below the age of 50.

This also might explain why men who wear their pants at high altitudes often take stronger measures to be noticed, including wearing stratospheric shorts and black socks down below … with sandals.

Or worse, wingtips.

Wearing black socks with shorts is fashionable in some circles, as younger males routinely do that. But that is because they aren’t married yet and, thus, have no one to tell them it looks stupid.

As for women, all I can say is that the less-is-more look doesn’t work for everyone. Not to be mean, but does a bag of potatoes look better or worse with a tube top?

Some women, of course, look good no matter what they do or do not wear and some look so good that you might need medical attention after inhaling the better part of your funnel cake.

That would be because you sucked in your stomach so they wouldn’t see it, which isn’t happening anyway if you’re hitching your pants to a star.

BALTIMORE—Responding to potential gubernatorial foes who have criticized or pledged to repeal Maryland’s recent gas tax increase, Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown last Thursday said his opponents might need a lesson in economic development.

Speaking to a group of construction leaders at a meeting of the Maryland chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America, Brown briefly detoured from his talking points on

#

# #

#

#

#

said. “Anyone that thinks we can grow our economy without investing in transportation doesn’t know a whole lot about economic growth.”

Del. Ronald A. George, an Anne Arundel Republican, pledged to repeal the gas tax increase if he is elected governor. Harford County Executive David R. Craig, a Republican, has said he would cut “all” of Maryland’s taxes if elected.

But Brown’s small salvo may have been most directly targeted at Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler, a likely opponent in the Democratic primary, who was critical of the gas tax increase in an interview with The Daily Record in May. Gansler has not officially announced his candidacy for governor, but campaign aides insist he will seek the governor’s office in 2014.

The stands are packed with spectators catching Skate Bowl competition action during the 2012 Dew Tour in Ocean City.

DEW TOUR

LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

(June 21, 2013) The wait is finally over.

After months of anticipation, the Dew Tour, with its world-class athletes, has returned to Ocean City.

Last week, workers began erecting a vertical ramp, skateboard bowl and a BMX park, along with the rest of the venue that will contain the “Dew Tour Experience” booths, activities and concert stage just north of the pier in downtown Ocean City.

Working day and night, the crews completed the blocks-wide “Dew Tour Experience” earlier this week — just in time for Day 1 of the four-day Beach Championships, which was scheduled to kick off yesterday, June 20, and will continue through Sunday.

“The Dew Tour brings such an exciting energy to Ocean City. The Beach Championships are a unique celebration of action sports and what better place to host such a lively event than Ocean City’s beach and Boardwalk?” Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City said last week. “It’s four days of sports, music and fun for our residents and visitors.”

This is the third year the Dew Tour is holding competitions in the resort.

In 2011, the Pantech Open set a Dew Tour attendance record by drawing an estimated 73,000 fans during its four-day run, July 21-24, in Ocean City — its first beachfront venue.

That record was broken last year, as approximately 93,000 spectators came out to the beach in downtown Ocean City for the Dew Tour Pantech Beach Cham-

pionships, Aug. 16-19.

“It’s always great to come back to Ocean City where we enjoy strong support from the city, local officials and entire community,” Dew Tour General Manager Kenny Mitchell said last week. “We’ve held very successful Dew Tour events here for the past two years and are looking forward to another amazing Beach Championships event in 2013.”

Ocean City offers an “amazing beach setting” and the energy of the Boardwalk creates a perfect synergy with the event, he said.

“Ocean City is an ideal East Coast beach destination and [a place] where we can celebrate action sports with the thousands of fans who attend the Beach Championships each year,” he said.

Events scheduled for Ocean City Beach Championships Friday through Sunday

include Skate Vert, Skate Bowl (pro and legends divisions), BMX Park, Vert and Flatland.

No athlete is more familiar with the resort than professional skateboarder Bucky Lasek, who grew up in Baltimore, vacationed frequently in Ocean City and skated at the Ocean Bowl park on Third Street.

Now 40 years old, Lasek, who lives in California, will battle some of the top skateboarders this weekend.

“Competition is going to be at an alltime high,” Lasek said. While many athletes have just one event to focus on, Lasek will have two. He will compete in the Skate Bowl and Skate Vert events.

Depending on the layout of the vert ramp, Lasek said he has some new tricks he may display this weekend.

“The bowl will take a bit of warming up See BEACH on Page 2B

for me,” he said. “Once I get acclimated, we’ll see what I can do.”

When he is not skating, Lasek said he will do “fun family stuff,” such as going to Jolly Roger Amusement Park and snacking on Fisher’s Popcorn, among other Ocean City tasty treats.

New to the event lineup this year is Skate and BMX “Battle at the Beach” Street Sessions, which will feature a small group of top street skaters and BMX riders in a high-energy event that “brings street to the beach,” Mitchell said.

The Tour will also present “Recognize: Art” to celebrate and highlight artwork from action sports athletes and influencers.

“We feel it’s important to inspire our fans and show them action sports is more than amazing tricks, it’s about culture and a way of life,” Mitchell said.

Admission is free for all competitions and concerts, although a limited number of premium passes are available online at http://dewtour.com. Premium Pass tickets guarantee fans a seat for that day’s competitions as well as Dew Tour swag and exclusive souvenirs. They cost $80 each for Friday, Saturday and Sunday activities.

“The Dew Tour Beach Championships will feature the biggest names in skateboarding and BMX competing in our Vert, Skate Bowl and BMX Park and Flatland events, in addition (to) the ‘Battle at the Beach’ Skate and BMX Street Sessions,” Mitchell said.

“Fans can also enjoy the Dew Tour Experi-

ence, where our partner brands will host a wide range of activities, games, athlete meet and greet sessions and more. To round out the weekend, visitors can also take in the ‘Recognize: Art’ event and two nights of great live music,” he said.

Tonight, fans can hear New Politics and Krewella, while Saturday night’s “Battle at the Beach” Skate Session will be accompanied by a set from DJ Stimulus, followed by a performance from Talib Kweli.

On April 3, Alli Sports, a division of the NBC Sports Group, announced the 2013 Dew Tour schedule, with Ocean City again stop No. 1.

For the 2013 season, The Dew Tour will feature the “Beach – City – Mountain” format.

The tour will return to the urban action sports heritage of San Francisco for the second event of the year, Oct. 10-13, and wrap up at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Breckenridge, Colo., Dec. 12-15.

The 2013 Dew Tour will be shown on NBC, NBC Sports Network and Dew Tour Live on Dew Tour.com.

Dew Tour Live – Dew Tour’s digital platform – will stream every competition live, providing contest action, interviews and behind-the-scenes access. In addition, all telecast hours will be distributed internationally across NBC’s global distribution partners.

“Hosting the Dew Tour provides an enormous amount of free publicity through the TV broadcasts,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant See LASEK on Page 3C

ENTERTAINMENT

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Before you adventurous Arians charge right into those new projects, take a little time to learn where you’ll be going so you can avoid getting lost before you get there.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your time is devoted to career demands through much of the week. But Venus, who rules your sign, might be planning how (and with whom) you’ll spend your weekend.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t be put off by the surprising turn in the way your project is developing.

You’ve invested enough time in it to know how to make all the necessary adjustments.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The work week goes smoothly for the most part. But a weekend visit to a place in your past could hold surprises for your future, especially where romance is involved.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A sudden attack of shyness for the usually loquacious Lion could be a sign that deep down you’re not sure enough about what (or whom) you had planned to talk up in public.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Deal with that job-related problem on-site — that is, at the workplace. Avoid taking it home, where it can spoil those important personal plans you’ve made.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It’s a good time to let those favorable comments about your business dealings be known to those in a position to be helpful. Don’t hide your light; let it shine.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Avoid added pressure to finish a project on deadline by steering clear of distractions. To put it somewhat poetically: Time for fun — when your tasks are done.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might be uneasy about an offer from a longtime colleague. But before you reject it, study it. You might be surprised at what it actually contains.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Deal firmly with a difficult family matter. It’s your strength they need right now. You can show your emotions when the situation begins to ease up.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A recent dispute with some coworkers might not have been completely resolved. But other colleagues will be only too happy to offer support of your actions.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Let go of that Piscean pride long enough to allow someone to help you with a surprising development. That could make it easier for you to adjust to the change.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your willingness to open up to possibilities is why people like you are often among our most popular political leaders.

Krewella, New Politics, Talib Kweli to perform at Dew Tour Free concerts to take place tonight and Sat. on beach in downtown Ocean City (June 21, 2013) Alli Sports, a division of the NBC Sports Group, announced last week that Krewella, New Politics and Talib Kweli will be performing free concerts during the Dew Tour Beach Championships in Ocean City.

On Friday, Columbia Records electropunk trio Krewella will headline a night of live music that will include a performance of their chart-topping, gold certified dance single “Alive.” Arriving on the electronic dance music scene in the summer of 2011, Krewella, comprised of sisters Jahan and Yasmin Yousaf and producer Kris “Rain Man” Trindl, has created a signature blend of self-produced electro, dubstep and pop.

New Politics will start the night with their dynamic live show, combining everything from breakdancing to guitar

solos for a punk-pop-dance rock party.

New Politics, the Brooklyn based (via Copenhagen) three-piece rock band continues to gain momentum off their hit single “Harlem” from sophomore album, “A Bad Girl In Harlem.” The album was released through RCA Records and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers’ chart.

Talib Kweli, who recently released his fifth solo album “Prisoner of Conscious,” will hit the Dew Tour stage on Saturday with the socially aware lyrics and dramatic beats that made him one of hiphop’s most successful underground acts of the last 20 years. From crowd favorites to brand new tracks, his live show will infuse the Ocean City crowd with a level of energy fitting the high action Beach Championships.

Before Kweli’s performance on the main stage, DJ Stimulus will play a set during the Skateboard “Battle at the Beach” Street Session with top skaters including Ryan Decenzo, Greg Lutzka and Manny Santiago. Stimulus’ charisma and

trademark ‘funk-hop’ sounds will provide the backdrop for the fast-paced jam format of the skate contest. The Street Session will take place in the Dew Tour Experience and be shown on screens at the main stage via live video feed.

This season, Dew Tour debuts “Dew Tour Recognize,” a series of events that will celebrate the lifestyle and cultural elements of action sports, including art, photography

and film. On Saturday, “Dew Tour Recognize: Art,” will celebrate progressive and transcendent artwork from industry legends and local artists including Steve Caballero, Neil Blender, Christian Hosoi, Chris Markovich and Matt Dove.

Dew Tour Recognize will be in Berlin on Old Ocean City Boulevard across from Burley Oak Brewery from 8-11 p.m. and is open to the public.

Performing for The Next Ice Age skate company at the Carousel Hotel on 118th Street, from left, are Rachel Jones, 19, Laurel, Md.; Holly Alexander, 19, Wilmington, Del.; Robert Korycinski, 19, Silver Spring, Md.; Meredith Pipken, 19, Elkton, Md. and Megan Marshall, 21, Newark, Del.

‘Next Ice Age’ skating shows nightly this summer at hotel LIZ LANE ■ Intern (June 21, 2013) Ice skaters representing the Baltimore-based company, “The Next Ice Age,” are performing to music from the 1960s during their summer program at the Carousel Hotel and choreographer Tim Murphy called it “the most up-tempo show” they’ve ever done.

“We’re going back to the ‘60s where I usually live,” said Murphy, who created the company with Nathan Birch. “It’s happy, feel-good stuff and really high energy.”

Murphy said the five performers skate to songs including “My Guy” by Mary Wells, “Stand by Me” and “Save the Last Dance for Me” by Ben E. King and “Way of Love” by Cher. Murphy said they skate to a few songs from the 1970s, as well.

The shows kicked off June 12 in the 118th Street hotel and are presented nightly at 6:30 p.m. for 10 weeks. Murphy said the show is in its 13th year and that a new performer is adding “a whole new dimension.”

“Robert is the first guy we’ve ever had and he’s really bringing down the house every night,” Murphy said. “He really turned out great.”

Robert Korycinski, 19, of Silver Spring, Md., is the first male skater to perform in the show. He said Murphy and Birch train him for competitions and asked him to be

a part of the show this year.

“I really like the show because it’s so different from competitions,” Korycinski said.

“It’s not restricted by rules and you can really just do it for fun. You become one with the audience. I love the experience.”

Korycinski, who has been skating for 11 years, said “I Was Made for Dancing”

by Leif Garrett is his favorite song in the show. He said he likes the “disco-y” feel and being able to perform “crazy dance moves.”

“I love the freedom of being on the ice,” he said. “You go so fast and it feels so cool doing tricks on a quarter-inch blade. You can dance for so many years and still not master everything. I love going every day and mastering new things.”

The show features veteran Megan Marshall, 21, of Newark, Del. and newcomers Rachel Jones, 19, of Laurel, Md., Holly Alexander, 19, of Wilmington, Del., Meredith Pipken, 19, of Elkton, Md. and Korycinksi.

Both adults and children can enjoy the 30-minute show and admission is free.

Murphy said the company is celebrating its 25th anniversary and will be holding special performances for that as well.

Audience members are invited to meet the skaters after the show for photographs and autographs. For more information or to make reservations, call 410-524-1000.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

Wilson and Hartman awarded scholarships The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America representative Marion Chambers, Ocean City, announced that Worcester Prep sophomores Trent Hartman and Mark Wilson were awarded full scholarships to The Washington Workshops Congressional Seminar in Washington, D.C. Since 1977, the National Patriotic Committee of The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America has annually conducted a national Congressional Seminar Essay Contest for students in grades 10-12, providing full seminar scholarships for essay winners.

The goal of the essay contest is to teach and stimulate an awareness of United States citizenship—its privileges, opportunities, and responsibilities.

Hartman and Wilson will attend a weeklong seminar under the auspices of the Washington Workshops Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan educational foundation.

The seminar will provide the boys with an opportunity to interact with students throughout the country as they investigate the U.S. Congress, Supreme Court, and the Executive agencies by meeting with members of Congress and other high-ranking government officials. They will also visit the historical and memorial highlights of the nations’ capital and participate in a Model Congress.

Hartman and Wilson were selected for the scholarships on the basis of essays they wrote titled, “How Does the Monroe Doctrine

Kemps going through senior version of ‘terrible two’s’?

SENIOR SLANT

Air conditioners break down, sinks stopped up IRISH KEMP ■ Contributing Writer I’m well aware that into each life some rain must fall but in our case, as in last week, it never rained but it poured.

Would you believe that the Kemps are going through a senior version of the “terrible two’s?” Our two air conditioning systems broke down, two of our sinks mysteriously stopped up late at night on a weekend, of course, and those two harrowing 3 a.m. trips to local hospitals.

All went well after my daughter Kathi’s encounter with the local gendarmes. She was on a mercy trip to pick up supplies for mom and dad. Wear your seat belt, folks, and don’t throw your butt out the window. Thanks, guys , I’ve been nagging that kid for years. I reminded her it’s never too late to learn.

Trust me, folks, it’s going to be a long time from May to September but hang in there and before you know it, we will have the town to ourselves. Maybe the old broad is not getting around much anymore but the beach towel that jumped in my granddaughter’s luggage a few years ago has been everywhere.

I was looking forward to Paris next fall

but I might have to settle for downtown Bishopville. Best while I’m headed in that direction that I check with Dennis’ furniture store proprietor, Margaret, to find out “what’s old is new again “this year.

This is a great store to browse around on a rainy day. You might even cross paths with your old wringer-washer. You could show the grandchildren how hard you worked when their parents were growing up. Poor old Teddy, our nine-lives,dog, survived a dip in that old washer. He assumed it was a doggie pool. Trust me, he was super clean and from that day on, he barked and chased every wringer washer he spotted.

Bagging, wagging, lagging or just out lollygagging around town, I found Gary and Ann Distler, Jack Whitmer and Carol, Jack and Pat Funk, Rita Salerno, Dick and Kathy Kahn, Helen Nappier, Peg and Bruce Barrett, Joan DeMarco, Frank and Terri Austin, Helen Sobkowiak and Mary Ellen Arena.

Birthday kids out doing the town’s tradition of celebrating all occasions for 30 days were Ron Bergsmith, Jim Crabill, Lois McGregor, Dennis Roarty, Jack Whitmer, Carol Pohland, Jim O’Neill, Dottie Grimes, Buck Mann, Ron Bergsmith, Jack Whitmer, Howard Kline and Gordon Moore.

ALOC Home Tour, Sept. 19-20 (June 21, 2013) The Art League of Ocean City will host its ninth annual Sand Castle Home Tour, Sept. 19-20.

The self-guided home tour of 10 unique residences in the Ocean City area will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. This year there is a wide variety of homes, from a bachelor pad to a family beach home to a luxury condo.

This year’s tour also marks the 50th anniversary of the Art League of Ocean City. The ALOC started the Sand Castle Home Tour nine years ago to raise funds for the non-profit to be able to relocate into a new building.

The Art League now calls the Ocean City Center for the Arts, home. Located on 94th Street bayside, this state-of-the-art, 7,500 square foot building has beautiful galleries, studios, classrooms and a pottery studio.

“After many years of fundraising, the Art League of OC finally saw all our hard work come to fruition,” said Rina Thaler, executive director of the Ocean City Center for the Arts, “with the March 1 grand opening of the new Ocean City Center for the Arts.”

The tour will kick off with a cocktail party sponsored by the Gateway Grand at the home of Jim and Jan Perdue on Wednesday Sept. 11 from 6-8 p.m. The cost is $75 per person. To make a reservation, call the ALOC at 410-524-9433 or visit www.artleagueofoceancity.org .

The cost of the two-day home tour is $30. Tickets may also be purchased from the ALOC. The cocktail party and the home tour are major fundraisers for the Art League and continue to be popular events on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

The Art League of Ocean City is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the visual arts to the community through education, exhibits, scholarship programs and public service projects.

For more information, contact the Art League of Ocean City at 410-524-9433 or visit www.artleagueofoceancity.org.

Many characters born in late June Continued from Page 16B

Am I the only one who noticed how many characters were born in late June?

One charter member of Hanna’s “Heart of My Heart” gang, Whitey Leutner will be sorely missed by all his friends in the days to come. The guy could do it all. He sang, he danced – he could do a prize-winning shag – and had a heart of gold with a personality to match.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Del and the family. No doubt in my mind he’s up there with Henry socializing and entertaining the multitudes with all the fun folks from the area who left this world for a better place.

Keep in mind how important it is to have friends in high places.

Tomato sorbet delicious, has many uses in art of entertaining FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Sorbet’s gone gourmet; be creative with frozen treat DEBORAH LEE WALKER ■ Contributing Writer Giving the answer away too soon can be a writer’s demise. So, put on your thinking cap and see if you can come up with the correct answer before the conclusion.

It might be surprising for many people to learn that the trend toward this lighter and healthier dessert has such a rich history. The Chinese discovered how to conserve naturally formed winter ice for summer use by building icehouses.

According to an article written by Linda Stradley, “the harvesting and storage of ice are recorded in a poem of circa 1100 B.C. in the Shih Ching, the famous collection of “Food Canons.” There is also mention of a festival held when the ice houses were opened for summer use.

For the next clue, we must turn to the chapter of physiology. This particular food can cause sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. I know most of you are familiar with this term (OK, not really), but

for those who are not, About.com Chemistry explains what this is.

“When something cold touches the roof of your mouth, the sudden temperature change of the tissue stimulates nerves to cause rapid dilation and swelling of blood vessels. This is an attempt to direct blood to the area and warm it back up.

The dilation of the blood vessels triggers pain receptors, which release pain-causing prostaglandins, that in turn increases sensitivity to further pain, and produce inflammation while sending signals through the trigeminal nerve to alert the brain to the problem.

“Because the trigeminal nerve also senses facial pain, the brain interprets the pain signal as coming from the forehead. This is called ‘referred pain’ since the cause of the pain is in a different location from where you feel it.”

Wow, this is a mouthful, but, obviously, the mystery dish is served cold.

Versatility is a key component in cooking and the clandestine topic swirls with adaptability. Besides marking the end of a meal, it can be presented as an appetizer or main course.

But the flexibility of the six-letter word continues. No matter how the tasty treat is served, the fruity delight is quite refreshing during the steamy days of summer.

Know the answer? If not, another helpful hint is on the way. The secret recipe is friendly to lactose-intolerant individuals since it contains no dairy products. Granita and Italian ices are very similar in texture and sometimes are confused with the unidentified topic.

The frosty treat is easy on the wallet, which adds to its attractiveness.

The trendy dish can be found on street corners and scooped into paper cups.

Or it can rise to a black-tie affair and be adorned on the finest china. In other words, it is enjoyed by all.

There are two basic techniques for freezing the mouthwatering delight: churn-freezing or still-freezing.

Churn-freezing requires an ice-cream maker and still freezing is a machineless technique. Churn-freezing will give you better results but still-freezing is certainly an effective approach.

If you guessed sorbet, you are correct. Sorbets consist of pureed fruit, a sweetener, and water; fresh fruit is always the preferred choice. But sorbet has gone gourmet and the sky is the limit. Spiced Indian tea, poached pear

Sauvignon Blanc, and mango Szechuan pepper sorbets are just a few examples of the level of creativity.

Tomato sorbet is delicious and has many uses in the art of entertaining.

The following recipe is for those who do not own an ice cream machine.

INGREDIENTS 4 cups firm tomatoes, coarsely chopped and seeded (frozen) 1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds, crushed 1/2 teaspoon toasted coriander seeds, crushed 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, very coarse 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup fresh green basil, chopped kosher salt to taste purple basil for garnishing 1. Place all the ingredients, except for the basil, in a food processor and pulse until texture is of a sorbet consistency. Add fresh green basil and pulse a few times until thoroughly blended.

2. Serve in a chilled martini glass and garnish with purple basil.

Serves 4 SECRET INGREDIENT: Choice Life is a sum of all your choices.

OC Beautification Committee seeks nominees Beauty Spot Awards will be presented this year in eight categories (June 21, 2013) The Ocean City Beautification Committee is seeking nominations in eight categories in which someone can win a 2013 Beauty Spot Award, including residential, condominium, retail, hotel, motel, commercial, restaurant and Boardwalk.

Only nominated properties will be judged. Help is needed by the Beautification Committee in finding those special properties that are evidence of civic pride and community beauty.

A property can be nominated by anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; the resident or owner of a residence or business, a relative, neighbor, friend, customer or just a passerby. Once all nominations are in, the Beautification Committee will travel around town to view the nominated properties.

Judging is based on plants, flowers, trees, shrubbery, grasses, design, layout, among others things that complement the property. Even those properties with little or no ground in which to plant can imaginatively use containers, planters, window boxes, hanging baskets or something else to improve the â&#x20AC;&#x153;curb-sideâ&#x20AC;? appeal of their property.

Also, those who make an effort to beautify unattractive areas such as dumpsters and electric boxes, can be recognized. In the fall at a City Council meeting, the Mayor and City Council will present the winners with their awards.

To nominate a property, call Donna Greenwood, chairperson, at 410-2897060, mail nominations to OCBC, Department of Recreation and Parks, 200 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 125th Street, Ocean City, Md. 21842 or e-mail ocbeautification@hotmail.comâ&#x20AC;? before July 5. Include the property ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, correct street address and a contact phone number.

The nominatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and phone number should also be included.

Annual Blessing of Combines, Aug. 3 (June 21, 2013) Even as farm fields are being planted in corn and soybeans, farmers are preparing their combines for the summer and fall harvests.

Several Worcester County farmers, including George Lee Clayville, Bill Figgs, Byron Hauck, Lee Holloway, Buster Powell, Roger Richardson, David Shockley and Virgil Shockley, are readying their machines for The Blessing of the Combines on Aug. 3. Festivities in downtown Snow Hill begin at 11 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m.

A Parade of Combines, led by Antique Tractors and by Orem Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horsedrawn combine, moves slowly south on Route 12, across the drawbridge over the Pocomoke River, and west onto Green Street. Parade directors lead each combine to its stopping place and, with turnon-a-dime accuracy, position each at the perfect angle. A growing hum of engines culminates with a throttle thrust - and then silence. But not for long.

Music, including Too Far Gone, food, vendors, crafts, a petting barnyard, activities for children, hay rides, carriage and pony rides, Scales and Tales, will take place throughout the day.

The program, directed by Master of Ceremonies Steve Hales, includes welcomes, introductions, and a keynote address by Jim Perdue. The Blessing of the Combines will be conducted by Snow Hill Ministerial Association member, Rev. Seth Nelson.

The Wheels that Heal Car Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show sets up in Sturgis Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For information, call 443-783-1715.

All in the family: Angler’s co-owner, Julie Bunting Smith, front center, stands with daughters Meegan Jayne Smith, front left, and Maura Smith, front right; husband Regan Smith, back left; and son RJ Smith. Julie runs Angler’s restaurant with her sister Jayne Kendall and her family.

The Angler debuts Gangplank boat bar Talbot St. restaurant celebrates 75th anniversary this summer CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (June 21, 2013) The downpour didn’t put a damper on The Angler restaurant’s launch party for its new boat bar Tuesday, part of its renovations celebrating 75 years of business.

Planning and zoning officials, members of the fire marshal’s office and others who helped make

the bar possible attended the debut event, complete with drinks from the boat-shaped bar and a buffet.

“It’s a great entrance to Ocean City,” said Blaine Smith, assistant director of planning for Ocean City, of the bar visible from the Route 50 bridge.

“I love it,” said Gail Lewis, owner of neighboring MR Ducks. “I’m glad to see it in our downtown area.”

JR McGillen of Oliver Builders, who helped construct the bar, gave a more modest appraisal: “It looks like a boat, so we’re kind of happy.”

See ANGLER on Page 3C

(June 21, 2013) Shorebilly Brewing Company, on the Boardwalk at 10th Street has only been open about a month and its brews have already developed quite a loyal customer base.

“Things are going very well. Exactly what we wanted to happen is happening,” said owner Danny Robinson. “We’re building a local following, one person at a time.”

Robinson said people were loyal to the brand immediately.

Through social media, a number of people have been part of the experience since Robinson decided to bring a brewery to Ocean City. He sought public input on Shorebilly’s logo design, as well as helping naming a stout. Recently, Shorebilly teamed up with Tumbleweed & Eddie’s of Fenwick Island, Del. The company makes all natural, vegan, wheat-free, dog biscuits using the brewery’s recycled brewing grains. On Shorebilly’s Facebook page, people can suggest a name for the new biscuits. The winner will receive two free bags of treats.

“People enjoy being part of the process,” he said.

When the space next to Hammerheads bar and restaurant, which Robinson also runs, became available last year, he jumped at the opportunity.

“I felt there was a pressing need for Ocean City to have its own beer. A local, homemade beer with local ingredients to call its own,” he said. “I love the Boardwalk. I could have built a brewery anywhere, but it being an Ocean City beer, it had to be on the beach and Boardwalk.”

Since there wasn’t enough time to get a brewery up and running last summer, he opened an ice cream shop in the unit.

In the fall, he started construction on the brewery. The inside was gutted, going down to the cement. Meanwhile, Hurricane Sandy wiped out the deck in front of the unit.

Throughout the winter, Robinson and his brewmaster, Robb Dunne, experimented with different blends and flavors using the equipment at Tall Tales Brewery in Parsonsburg, Md. See WE’RE on Page 4C

Angler owned, operated by Bunting family for five generations Continued from Page 1C

Angler’s has been in the Bunting family for five generations. To celebrate its 75th year, the family undertook a host of renovations, including the new deck and bar area, a refurbished dining room and the addition of a tower outside the restaurant.

We want to “get people excited to come back and hang out and have fun and enjoy the bar,” co-owner Jayne Kendall said.

Kendall and her sister and co-owner Julie Smith work alongside their children at the restaurant and said their kids are now old enough to let them refocus on

entertainment at The Angler.

“They’re excited about the changes,” Kendall said. “This year, Julie’s oldest children are old enough to appreciate it.”

Aside from working at the business, the youngest family members help draw crowds by picking popular music and giving a fresh perspective on the restaurant, she said.

Kendall grew up with some of her local customers, and the tradition has continued as the children’s friends and their families also frequent Angler’s.

“We’re very family-oriented,” Kendall said.

Patrons can enjoy entertainment at Angler’s four nights a week, Thursday through Sunday, over popular dishes like crab imperial or clams casino. Angler’s is also known for bringing the Bahama Mama and Goombay Smash drinks from the Caribbean to Ocean City’s bars, but Kendall said you don’t have to drink to enjoy the atmosphere.

“Everybody can enjoy it, even if they’re not 21,” she said.

Guests at Tuesday’s launch event praised her and Smith for the new additions at the restaurant.

Angler’s has “always been a great land-

mark,” Smith said. “I really compliment the girls for taking it to the next level.”

In addition to the bar and restaurant, Angler’s offers deep-sea fishing, nature cruises, Jet Ski and boat rentals and high-speed rides aboard the OC Rocket speedboat. Diners who spend $12 on food can enjoy a boat tour after dinner for just $2.

Angler’s is downtown at 312 Talbot St. and serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and happy hour daily. Call 410-289-7424 for reservations and visit www.angleroc.net for more information and an online menu.

Interest rates rising, according to recent MBA weekly survey REAL ESTATE REPORT

Still far below levels seen during real estate boom LAUREN BUNTING ■ Contributing Writer Interest rates are on the rise, according to the results of the latest Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications survey. Also noted in the survey, rates on 30-year fixed rate mortgages with loan balances

of $417,500 or less hit their highest rate since March 2012. The rate increased to 4.17 percent last week, marking the sixth straight weekly increase.

In addition, for the week ending June 14, applications for purchase loans slipped a seasonally adjusted 3 percent from the previous week, but applications were still up 12 percent from the same week last year. The report also

showed applications for refinance loans decreased 3 percent on a weekly basis.

Low mortgage rates have played a critical role in the recovery of the real estate market nationwide. Industry experts report that one of the main reasons the rates are being driven up is through anticipation that the Federal Reserve could soon begin scaling back its generous bond-buying program ($85 billion per month) that has helped to keep the rates low. The Fed’s stimulus program has helped keep rates low, but once the Fed determines the economy is ready, it is expected that they will

Rates are still far below the levels seen during the real estate boom, and far below the industry experts’ opinion of 6 percent interest signaling a healthy market. First-time homebuyers will have to keep a close eye on the rates, since even an increase of just a few percentage points can push a loan out of reach for some buyers who have tight debt to income ratios in their pre-approval.

‘We’re building a local following, 1 person at time,’ Robinson says Continued from Page 1C

When Shorebilly Brewing Company first opened, two beers were available on tap – Kolsch, a light-bodied brew, and Downtown Sugar Brown, a cinnamoninfused ale. Now, five are offered and eventually six will be featured all the time, Robinson said.

Three beers will always be available – Downtown Sugar Brown, Kolsch and an Intergalactic IPA. Three others will vary.

Robinson said he is currently working on a maple French toast beer that will be available in a few weeks.

Can’t decide which beer to try? Fourounce samplers are available. Holes have been cut out of skateboard decks and the sampler glasses are placed inside them.

Four 15-gallon kegs can be brewed at a time. Kegs are brewed twice a day. The batches take about two to three weeks to ferment.

Quarter- and half-gallon growlers can be filled for customers to take with them.

This option has been quite popular, Robinson said.

“We sell a ton of growlers on Sunday.

People are getting them when they leave town,” he said. “They make a cool souvenir also.”

The outdoor deck, which seats about

40 people, is Shorebilly’s biggest attraction, besides the beer, Robinson said.

The front portion of a VW bus can be found on the deck, colorfully painted by local artist Angelica Clemmer. Patrons can sit in the van’s front seats and enjoy their beer.

Five stools made from recycled beer kegs are available for customers to sit on at the bar inside. The bar top was constructed from boards that previously lined the Boardwalk. The wooden cypress planks that line the walls of the brewery and trim the growler case are from an old Snow Hill farmhouse. Colorful recycled skate decks adorn the bar.

The brewery’s small menu includes duck sliders (farm-raised duck with orange marmalade), steamed shrimp and mussels, Roma tomatoes stuffed with crab meat, short rib or grilled Portobello mushroom tacos and pulled pork sliders.

A grand-opening event and ribbon cutting ceremony took place May 29 at the brewery.

“I’m absolutely happy with how everything’s going,” Robinson said.

“What I’m most happy with is that we’re building trust in our brand, which is tough when you’re experimenting with different batches.”

Robinson said he would like to pro-

duce batches for different charities. Representatives from charities or organizations will have the opportunity to pick some of the ingredients, the flavor and name of the beer. All proceeds from sales of that specific beer will be donated to the charity or organization.

Robinson said his plan is to expand the company. He hopes to put Shorebilly beers in Ocean City bars and restaurants in the near future, then eventually take

his product statewide and nationwide.

“I’m looking forward to the rest of the summer,” he said. “So far, the response has been huge. People are glad to see something new and different.”

Shorebilly Brewing Company is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Shorebilly merchandise, such as T-shirts, truckerstyle hats and skate decks with the Ocean City and Maryland flags combined, are available.
