Council moves to repeal parking ordinance Referendum petition goes far over required threshold but now it’s a moot point ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) If there was ever an argument in favor of the philosophy that “the ends justify the means,” this week’s City Council episode wasn’t it.

Despite deciding to eliminate the resort’s new paid parking areas, the fight over meters played out at City Hall Tues-

day in a way that seemed to satisfy neither the plans of the meters’ opponents, nor the council majority that voted to install them.

Shortly after the city’s Board of Elections Supervisors announced that the petition against the parking ordinance was successful, the council voted to proceed with an ordinance to repeal the paid parking measure before it could be taken to referendum.

Paradoxically, the two members of council who had not supported the additions – Brent Ashley and Margaret Pillas – voted against the repeal, saying they would rather see the issue go before the

voters, as intended.

Further, if the ordinance was put on ice until a referendum next fall, the city would have been barred in the interim from passing any legislation toward additional paid parking. But with the ordinance now scheduled to be nullified, other parking additions could be introduced.

“I think it speaks against the public and it does try to give them an opportunity to do it again,” Pillas said.

However, the council’s five-member majority, as well as the mayor, took the opposite stance.

“I believe we’ve done what the voters

have asked for,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “Can I see future discussion about [metering] the city-owned lots? I can see that. But I don’t see any more discussion about meters on the streets. As long as I’m mayor, I wouldn’t support that.”

But adding even sharper political overtones to the debate was the pressure the council received from residents of the Ocean Place condominium, many of whom were instrumental in organizing the petition. One of the streets that would have been metered, 146th Street, is adjacent to the condominium, which owners say would’ve unfairly hampered See CITY on Page 3A

(Aug. 30, 2013) With time running out, and an offer on the table that it effectively couldn’t refuse, the City Council decided unanimously on Tuesday to build a new headquarters for the Ocean City Beach Patrol at the originally proposed Talbot Street site.

The move comes less than two weeks after the city all but cancelled the project by putting on hold indefinitely its solicitation of architectural work for the facility.

But this week, it appeared that negoti-

ations with the Ocean City Development Corporation had reached a conclusion more favorable to the city. Those negotiations concerned the land swap necessary for the project, in which OCDC will give the city its Talbot Street property for a new OCBP building, and receive the old OCBP property on Dorchester street for its model block project “There was some trepidation about moving forward with additional spending or borrowing, so we did not move forward with the design,” said City Manager David Recor. “But we’ve had the opportunity to sit down with OCDC again.”

OCDC, the city-backed nonprofit that sponsors downtown revitalization initiatives, sweetened the deal by offering to pay 35 percent of the construction costs for the new OCBP building.

City Council moves to repeal ordinance allowing paid parking their ability to use and market their units.

Per the ordinance, the city added 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.

During the public comments portion at the beginning of Tuesday’s meeting, Ocean Place unit owner Michael Feen asked council members if they were considering a repeal of the ordinance in response to the petition. The council, however, repeatedly declined to answer.

“Let’s wait until we actually get the results,” said Mayor Rick Meehan.

“I think we have the right to know what you’re planning and to have input on it when you do it,” said Feen, who also objected to the council policy that prohibits citizens from speaking on specific agenda items and limits their comments to the beginning of the meeting.

“I think you really ought to work this out with the public, when they get to speak, how long, things like that,” Ocean Place owner Mac Balkcom protested.

“The council hasn’t heard the result Continued from Page 1A

yet,” said Council President Lloyd Martin. “We don’t know anything more than you do.”

But when the time came, election board chair Mary Adeline Bradford submitted a letter to council reporting that the petition was indeed successful. The board found 1,648 valid signatures, far more than the 1,226 needed to meet the threshold. According to the city charter, petitions must garner 40 percent of the number of voters who participated in the last municipal election in order to force legislation to referendum.

Immediately thereafter, Councilman Joe Mitrecic read a prepared statement requesting the repeal of the ordinance.

He also moved that the city cease to collect the parking fees in question immediately, ahead of the finalization of the repeal ordinance.

“So the answer is yes, they did think about it,” Pillas said to the audience.

With the policy recanted, a referendum would not be held, and the issue dropped.

“If the council passes an ordinance repealing it, there’s nothing to hold a referendum about,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres.

In his defense, Mitrecic said he would’ve made the same statement even if Bradford had announced that the petition was found invalid.

“My comments were going to be read

today regardless, because I think this has become a divisive enough issue in this town that it needs to be settled,” Mitrecic said.

“Whether you believe the signatures were obtained by twisting the truth or not, 1,648 voters signed this,” Mitrecic said. “The last council did not listen and we do not want to be compared to them.”

At least within council chambers, the debate over parking meters has been in part a proxy battle between two factions in city government. The mayor and council majority maintained that petitioners were spreading hyperbolic information about future paid parking in an attempt to grind down the current voting bloc, which was elected to office this past November.

“If you’re looking to start a war … that’s a different matter than if this battle is about one specific thing [parking],” Meehan said.

The streets selected for metering were initially identified by the city as “low-hanging fruit” where paid parking could be implemented with the least impact on the neighborhood’s street use due to what is believed to be a heavy rotation of non-overnight or commercial visitors.

But residents and business owners have objected to the town’s attempt to reap more revenue from day-vacation-

ers, as has been the rationale. They also contested that the limited selection of streets was arbitrary, and had more to do with politics and appearance than with an actual need for revenue.

Pillas maintained that her colleagues were simply trying to save face with the repeal measure, and questioned why Meehan had declined to veto the ordinance earlier when it was already clear that public sentiment was against paid parking, but the petition had not yet been circulated.

Meehan said he had proposed a compromise with only limited meter additions, but it had received no response from either side. Because of this, he had neither vetoed nor signed the ordinance, meaning it defaulted to law after two weeks.

“I think it was better that it went that way,” Meehan said. “If you [Pillas] want to continue this battle, then so be it.”

At least one aspect of the battle did carry over to another part of the council session. When the Ocean City Development Corporation was allowed to speak regarding the city’s capital improvement plan and proposed new beach patrol headquarters, Ashley said the council was creating a double standard.

“I’m not saying I don’t want to hear from OCDC,” Ashley said. “I’m just See OC BEACH PATROL on Page 4A

“But these [OCDC board members] are our partners,” objected Councilman Dennis Dare.

“The taxpayers [on 146th Street] aren’t our partners?” Ashley replied.

There had also been a number of conspiracy theories, offered by the petition’s supporters, as to why the ratification process took as long as it did. Bradford, however, stressed that this was completely unfounded.

“We are an independent board and feel very strongly about that,” she said.

“To question that any member [of the Board of Elections Supervisors] would either slow down or speed up a petition for personal or political gain is absolutely unconscionable.”

The board met last Wednesday and Thursday to go through the signatures, the earliest possible time that all of its members were available simultaneously.

“The real frustration everyone has is that petitions are unscheduled events,” Bradford said. “If we keep that in perspective, we have to realize that this is summertime in Ocean City and we are all citizens who have to make a living.”

Annual debt service to decrease with reduction of bond issue “What we’re proposing is similar to the Art League project,” said OCDC President Bob Givarz, referring to the Art League of Ocean City’s contribution to the recently completed Ocean City Center for the Arts, which is owned by the town but run by the ALOC. “I think it’s the same concept of making sure that a facility we need can be built,” Givarz said. “Were going to do anything and everything we can to make that happen. The Beach Patrol is that important to downtown.”

With OCDC’s subsidy of the beach patrol project, and the council’s decision to delay some other capital improvement projects, the city will be shaving over $4 million from its projected bond issuance this year, bringing projected new debt down to around $12 million.

Continued from Page 1A

Given that a large portion of outstanding debt – a 15-year bond issued in 1998 – will be retired this year, the city should see a reduction in its debt service payments for next year.

The anticipated new borrowing will add an extra $223,110 in annual costs to pay it off, according to City Engineer Terry McGean. But the city’s debt service was already scheduled to drop slightly more than that due to the retirement of old bonds.

“If they did every one of those projects [on the original plan], you would be at a zero-sum,” Recor said. “Anything less is an improvement in terms of how much we’re spending to pay off debt.”

The city currently spends 6.9 percent of its general fund revenues – those revenues that are not associated with a closed loop of funding – towards paying off general fund-obligated debt. Its self-imposed

cap is eight percent.

Earlier this year, city officials were eager to start the construction of a new OCBP headquarters as soon as possible, given that the current facility is wracked with mold and is in such a state of general disrepair that it has begun to compromise the operations of an organization that is, to most visitors, the face of Ocean City.

However, there was increasing concern among officials and the public over the size of the city’s upcoming bond sale, which will occur at the end of 2013 to fund the next two fiscal years’ worth of capital improvement projects. As McGean noted this week, the city is already committed to two large initiatives that it is unable to alter.

Roughly $850,000 has already been funded to replace roofs at the city’s automotive service center as well as at the Public Safety Building on 65th Street. Part

of the leaking roof covers the district court building, which is leased by the county and must be maintained by contract.

Another $8.3 million has already been committed by the city to fund the performing arts facility expansion at the Ocean City Convention Center. This cost, however is not a burden on the general fund. That project will be paid for with money borrowed against the projected future income of the city’s food tax, which is authorized by the state to finance the convention center.

The issue with the convention center, McGean said, is not how the debt will be paid off long-term, but rather how much the city can manage to pay out-of-pocket before it is able to borrow money.

The city has already spent $626,181 in design and materials costs for the performSee COUNCIL on Page 6A

Council axes recreation complex from upcoming borrowing ing arts project. With construction slated to begin in October, the city will likely have paid out over $1 million from its cash reserves before it can reimburse itself with proceeds from the bond sale, which, because of lower interest rates, is typically done at the end of a calendar year.

“The key here, in addition to the competitive interest rates, is also how much the finance director feels comfortable paying out of our fund balance for the convention center,” McGean said. “Those things are pushing us to have this bond sale at the end of the year, but not beyond that.”

“That was one of the reasons I had come to you back in April to design the Beach Patrol building, so that we would have a design ready to go at that time,” McGean said.

Even with the delay of the past few weeks, McGean said he was confident

Continued from Page 5A

that an architect could be brought on board as soon as the council approves the estimated $165,000 cost for the final design work of the OCBP headquarters.

Although it had declined to do so last week, the council voted unanimously this week to approve the expenditure. By the time the city is ready to issue bonds, enough of the design work would likely be done that the city would have a better idea of the construction costs.

Those costs are currently projected at $2 million, but the council expressed interest in reducing this cost during the design process.

“I think we need to look at this as a ‘needs versus wants’ type scenario,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic. “I would expect this scaled back from $2 million to something far less.”

Further, the council decided this week

to forgo two more projects that were on the original capital improvement schedule for the next two years. The expansion of the skate park and construction of a downtown recreation complex – with a combined price tag of over $3 million – was axed out of fiscal concern as well as the fact that the project sits on countyowned land that is rented by the city.

A satisfactory long-term lease has yet to be reached, and city leaders are skeptical that the county will try to leverage its obligations to the city into doing so.

“My suspicion with the downtown complex is that the county will try to tie tax differential into any kind of lease,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight.

“Until we can get that lease, I think we need to put this on the back burner,” agreed Council President Lloyd Martin.

The council also decided against bor-

rowing money for upcoming dredging needs in the city’s bayside canals.

“I feel like bonding this is not the correct way to go,” said Councilman Dennis Dare.

“If you’re going to bond something for 20 years, it needs to last 20 years. Something like the Beach Patrol building will, but canal dredging isn’t the same thing.”

The city could use savings from other projects to pay for dredging as it went along, and it was suggested that the $800,000 savings from Boardwalk reconstruction be put to this use.

“We keep earmarking money for this and that and something isn’t going to get done eventually,” Mitrecic cautioned.

“There are other existing capital projects in that bond issue,” McGean said.

“You still have a fire station to build, a fire headquarters to build and St. Louis Avenue to finish up.”

(Aug. 30, 2013) The suspects in the July 21 beach brawl at North Division Street will face trial on Nov. 6, the date set after their attorney was granted a continuance so all four could be tried together.

Two of the suspects, Abdul Kargbo, 25, and and Saidu Kargbo, 21, both of Woodbridge, Va., were in District Court in Ocean City on Aug. 23.

Ocean City attorney Cullen Burke told the court he had been retained just a day earlier and asked visiting Judge D. William Simpson for a November court date.

The Kargbos, Musa Seisay, 24, of Garrisonville, Va., and Dalima Ekundayo Ibironke Palmer, 24, of Dumfries, Va., were arrested last month following a melee that broke out after a Beach Patrol lifeguard called police for assistance.

The guard told police a group of people were disorderly that Sunday afternoon and that one of the men had threatened him after he asked the group to tone it down.

Police tried to talk with Abdul Kargbo, but he started cursing and yelling at police. When they tried to arrest him, several others in the group started yelling at them and acting in a threatening manner, police said. Two of the men, Seisay and Saidu Kargbo, allegedly assaulted officers and resisted arrest.

Police charged each of the three men with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. In addition, Saidu Kargbo and Musa Seisay were charged with seconddegree assault and obstructing and hindering a police officer.

Palmer, who was nine months pregnant was also arrested because she allegedly assaulted police.

County’s spay neuter program accomplishments recognized Wins MACo President’s Healthy Counties Best Practices Award at conf.

NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) Worcester County’s spay neuter program was recognized for its accomplishments during the recent Maryland Association of Counties summer conference in Ocean City.

During that conference, held Aug. 14– 18, the program was the rural winner of the MACo President’s Healthy Counties Best Practices Award, which was started last year. The award recognizes Maryland county programs that enhance the health of a county through programs and partnerships that provide services to citizens in a fiscally prudent way.

Worcester County’s award-winning program offers spaying and neutering of cats and dogs by Dr. William Schultz at the Animal Control facility in Snow Hill.

“This much deserved state recognition comes with the added benefits of longer lives for cats and dogs,” said Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners. “It serves well for the county.”

Rates are low to enable pet owners to afford the service. It cost $50 to spay or neuter a cat and $100 to spay or neuter a dog. Services are performed two Mondays per month.

The commissioners approved the program in 2011 and it started in March 2012. During 2012, 167 animals had surgeries and as of Aug. 9, 65 animals have had surgeries this year.

The surgeries are performed during normal working hours and animals are picked up the same day to return home.

“It’s consistently and accurately a service for Worcester County,” Worcester County Animal Control Chief Sue Rantz said.

“Spay-Neuter Day fits our mission to reduce the number of unwanted kittens and puppies, which might otherwise wind up homeless or be needlessly euthanized, Rantz said.

“This program makes an often expensive service affordable to those who would otherwise forego this needed service.”

Baltimore City’s Baltimarket Virtual Supermarket Program was the urban winner of the MACo president’s award.

That program enables citizens to order groceries online at home or at their local library, elementary school or senior/disables housing building. Groceries are delivered at no charge to a community site.

Former paramedic alleges harassment in lawsuit SHEILA R.

Attorney James Otway, of the Salisbury firm Otway, Russo & Rommel,

filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court of Maryland on behalf of Zachary Tyndall, of Berlin. In the lawsuit, Tyndall names the fire company, its president, David Fitzgerald, current employee and former emergency medical service supervisor Norris Phillip Donohue Sr., volunteer fireman and Assistant Chief Derek Simpson and volunteer fireman and former Chief Bryon Trimble.

Tyndall accused the group of having discriminated against him because of

what he described as their misguided belief that he was homosexual. He also charged that he was denied promotion because of their perceptions.

In petitioning for a jury trial, the lawsuit contends that the harassment launched to force him to resign from the company was “extreme and outrageous and beyond the bounds of decency. It was intentional, malicious, willful and done after repeated requests for cessation with the specific intent to injure,” he said.

Tyndall is asking for $2 million in compensatory damages and $6 million in punitive damages, along with legal costs and other expenses. He is seeking compensation for violations of his civil rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, for lost past and future wages, impairment of earning capacity, emotional distress, humiliation and past and future medical expenses and seeking punitive damages from the individuals for their alleged “willful, wanton, oppressive and malicious conduct.”

Earlier this year, Tyndall had also filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

In a June 20 notice, EEOC officials said it had closed the case file because it was unable to conclude that violations of federal statutes occurred.

The notice of dismissal, however, allowed Tyndall to proceed with his lawsuit by granting him a 90-day window to sue under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, in either federal or state court. It also allowed him to pursue up to three years of back pay.

In his charges, Tyndall said he joined the fire company as a 14-year-old cadet and became a volunteer firefighter as soon as he was eligible at age 18. He was hired as a full-time emergency medical technician in 2008, he said. He also said that he came from a family with a history of volunteer service to the BFC and its auxiliary.

According to the document, the harassment began with Trimble repeatedly referring to Tyndall as a homosexual, a description that Tyndall insisted was inaccurate. He said Trimble’s comments continued despite Tyndall’s requests that he cease. He said Trimble continued the comments, including the use of pejoratives, before other members of the company, while both at the Ocean City Fire Company, and in front of Tyndall’s girlfriend.

EMT seeks $8 million for incidents in Berlin, OC comments. At one point in 2012, Tyndall said, during a conversation between Simpson, Tyndall and a local police officer, Simpson repeatedly referred to Tyndall as “gay.” The police officer confronted Simpson about his language, according to Tyndall, who added that Simpson then attempted to justify his comments.

Tyndall said he complained to company officials about the comments, “all to no avail,” as the name-calling and harassment continued and increased. Instead, he said, he was assigned demeaning tasks designed to make him quit, “such as washing their car, cleaning the latrine or picking up small pieces of trash at the firehouse.”

Since as a paid EMT, Tyndall was technically an employee of the Town of Berlin, he said he related the details of the harassment to the mayor and human resources director.

“This action only made day-to-day life at the firehouse more difficult than before. The insults, derogatory comments and other harassment increased in severity and number,” he said.

Other members of the company then joined the practice of referring to him as a homosexual and, after Fitzgerald allegedly made a veiled reference to the grievance complaint he and another Continued from Page 8A

firefighter made to the town, called for his termination, according to the lawsuit.

The town dismissed Donohue, who has reportedly since been rehired as a direct employee of the fire company, and defunded the fire company until it provides more financial accountability to the town. In the aftermath of the town’s attempts to resolve the situation, Tyndall said he found messages taped to his locker, which he construed as personal threats.

He also alleged that the ostracizing and intimidation caused anxiety that made him unable to continue his employment with the Ocean City Fire Company after it continued there, he said. He was fired from that post earlier this year.

But it was Tyndall’s account of an incident that occurred last Christmas that caused the most controversy in town.

He said in his suit that he was responding to a car accident at Route 818 and Route 50 on Dec. 26, 2012 and tried to help the more seriously injured victim by placing the patient on a stretcher and helping them “bag breathe” to maintain respiration.

But, Tyndall said in the suit, none of the members of the company on the scene would help him move the stretcher or load it onto the ambulance as he continued to use the bag-breathing device on the patient. It was a Berlin police officer who responded to Tyndall’s request for assistance by driving the ambulance to Atlantic General Hospital, where the patient, 26-

year-old Stephen Mumpower, ultimately died.

“This conduct further increased Mr. Tyndall’s fear and anxiety that he could not count on any of the members of the BFC to come to his aid, to assist him on an ambulance call, in a burning building or in the presence of any danger, even in a life or death situation,” the legal complaint said.

Tyndall also alleged that the continued harassment created a hostile work environment that made it impossible for him to adequately perform his responsibilities as a paramedic and fireman.

Fire company officials were solicited for comment on the accusations of the lawsuit, but have chosen not to do so at this time.

July indicators show boost over wet June for OC, other resorts Carolinas only competitor to see steeper increase in hotel occupancy for month ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer

(Aug. 30, 2013) Tourism indicators for July show a considerable recovery of the resort economy after a slow June with a less-than-stellar performance blamed largely on wet weather.

Anecdotal evidence from resort businesses indicated that the Memorial Day push was delayed this year to the Fourth of July, an observation substantiated by numbers: July’s hotel occupancy is reported up 3 percent over July 2012, in contrast with June’s decline of 3 percent compared to June 2012.

“I think that’s pretty significant considering all of the challenges we’ve had this year,” Tourism Director Donna Abbott told the City Council this week.

“We’re still outperforming the majority of the set we’re compared to.”

That data comes from a monthly report by Smith Travel Research, which aggregates booking information from partnered hotels, typically large franchise chains.

July indicated a relative improvement for Ocean City as well as those resorts that Smith Travel considers to be competitors. New Jersey, in particular, has seen drops of up to 20 percent in its occupancy over the past two months compared to last year. In July, however, Atlantic City saw a relatively minor decrease of 2.9 percent over last year, and the Jersey Shore reported a decline of 1.6 percent.

Ocean City’s 3 percent occupancy boost bested all of its competitors except the Coastal Carolina resort set, which saw an increase of 4.9 percent.

Those resorts, realtors say, are becoming increasingly competitive with Ocean City’s business.

Although its average per-room rate rose only 1 percent – less than any of its competitors – Ocean City’s rates remain significantly higher than other resorts. July’s average price per night of $172.90 was far above the second-highest average on Smith Travel’s competitor set, which was Virginia Beach at $145.52.

Still, Ocean City’s average revenue per available room, occupied or not, still rose 4.1 percent over last July, bested only by Virginia Beach at 6 percent and the Coastal Carolina set at 7.7 percent.

The relative improvement of numbers for July versus June’s disappointments has been attributed largely to weather. Since May, Abbott has been issuing comprehensive reports that feature a number of possible indicators as to the town’s number of visitors.

Notably, June of 2013 featured 6.21 inches of total rainfall, versus 2.76 inches in 2012.

“Some of our outdoor business, I’m sure, was impacted by that,” Abbott said.

Monthly reports also include bus ridership and solid waste collection.

The latter was up from 6,022.26 tons in July 2012 to 6,110.01 this July, while the former was down from 655,184 passengers last July to 620,555 this year, according to data from the city’s Public Works Department.

Over a period of years, those statistics are “scarily consistent,” noted Public Works Director Hal Adkins. Bus ridership is consistently lower in August than it is in June or July, while solid waste is consistently lower in June than it is in July or August. Much of the town’s fluctuation in solid waste hauling is created by the restaurant business, Adkins said.

“In June, we’re likely seeing a younger crowd that uses the bus more and has less disposable income to spend on food,” Adkins said, “versus later in the summer when we’re getting larger families.”

A 22-year-old Staten Island woman was so intoxicated Aug. 22 that she could not get to her feet outside a nightspot.

According to Ocean City police, the woman was lying on the ground and was dressed in a fashion that made her dress come up to her hips completely exposing herself. Police said she exacerbated the situation when she raised her legs over her head.

A friend and a police officer helped her get up. She tried to walk, but fell into the travel portion of the street, blocking traffic.

After being called, a cab arrived to take the young woman and a friend to their hotel. They asked to be taken to CVS and the police officer later heard a radio dispatch about a fight there.

Arriving at the store, the officer saw a group of people fighting.

“Customers were running away from the fight and were huddled in a group near a manager’s office,” the officer wrote in the charging document.

On the floor were more than 50 pairs of sunglasses, pouches and other accessories and the young woman was in the middle of the fight, yelling and swinging her arms at a man and woman.

The officer arrested the young woman, who reportedly kicked another officer in the groin with her foot. At police headquarters, she reportedly kicked a public safety aide in the right leg.

She was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and two counts of seconddegree assault.

City Council will move forward with surf fishing pilot program Implementation pends on approval from Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) Despite safety concerns, City Council voted this week to move forward with a pilot program for the coming off-season that will allow surf fishing vehicles on the beach from 27th to 94th streets.

Implementation, however, pends on approval from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, which could take several weeks and is likely to meet with some sticking points.

Councilman Joe Mitrecic had re-

quested previously that city staff look into such a proposal. This week, City Engineer Terry McGean brought back a comprehensive recommendation that, while including a detailed outline of a surf fishing pilot program, did not find the favor of city staff due to safety concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we feel this is feasible, the staff is recommending not to do this,â&#x20AC;?

McGean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest concern is the difference between our beach in Ocean City and what you would normally find on Assateague, Delaware or North Carolina where surf fishing is popular.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have thousands of condo units on the ocean front,â&#x20AC;? McGean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even in the off-season, we have pedestrians crossing the beach in an east-west direction or sitting on the

beach. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the off-road vehicle portion of Assateague, for instance, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there [exclusively]. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have pedestrians entering every 300 feet and crossing the beach.â&#x20AC;?

However, council was considerably more gung-ho with the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to try new stuff,â&#x20AC;? Councilman Brent Ashley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every bit of new business we can bring in for the off-season helps all of us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Similar concerns were raised when I brought up horseback riding on the beach, but surprisingly the sky didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall in and everything went well,â&#x20AC;? Ashley said.

Horses are currently allowed on the beach from Nov. 1 to March 30, in the area south of 27th Street. Vehicles will only be permitted north of that, under

the new proposal, up to 94th Street, a stretch that has 13 vehicle access points. North of that, McGean noted, the density of high-rise condos restricts beach access.

Having one defined area for vehicles, at least to begin with, would help with enforcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our feeling was we would start very small and fairly restrictive, and if it worked it would be easy to expand,â&#x20AC;?

McGean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more difficult once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve established the program to add further restrictions to it.â&#x20AC;?

Under the plan, full-class vehicles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not ATVs, bikes, or trailers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would obtain a beach permit via the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks and Recreation Department that would allow beach access on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The council voted, however, to open this up to weekends as well.

But an additional restriction was added. Under the original staff plan, vehicles would be open to any type of use, not just surf fishing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re encouraging is like Daytona Beach where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cruising up and down,â&#x20AC;? McGean said. But permit holders may just as well desire to park their vehicles for surfing, or just to lounge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any difference between the impact of those types of See KEEPING on Page 18A

Keeping fee high will cut down on joyriders, abuse, staff says activities and fishing,” McGean said.

“How you determine who is actively surf fishing and what that means also creates another enforcement issue.”

However, the consensus of the council was that surf fishermen, at least to begin with, were more likely to be good stewards of the program.

“I think it should be for surf fishing only…if you’re going to have a pilot program and you’re not trying to turn it into Daytona and encourage dedicated fishermen,” Mayor Rick Meehan said.

Meehan proposed that vehicle permits only be issued if the owner can show a valid state fishing license.

“That makes it 90 percent sure that if they’re out there, they’re going to be fishing,” he said.

The cost of a fishing license would be on top of the proposed $75 town fee for a beach vehicle permit. Assateague and Delaware beaches allow surf fishing year-round for only a slightly higher fee, McGean noted, but this was by design.

“Quite frankly, we didn’t want to make it cheaper to get your pass in Ocean City than in Delaware. People who really want to do it will get the Continued from Page 16A

pass, and hopefully that would discourage people who would get a pass just to ride up and down the beach a few times,” he said.

Vehicles would also be required to carry equipment, like shovels and tow rope, to dislodge themselves if stuck in the sand. Stuck vehicles would have two hours to remove themselves or call in a tow. After that, the city would tow the vehicle to its impound lot at the owner’s expense, just as it does with illegally parked cars.

Councilwoman Margaret Pillas was the only vote against moving the proposal forward, saying she was wary that surf fishing would be similar to the city’s opening up of skateboard restrictions last year. The town now allows skateboards on the boardwalk at the same time bicycles are allowed, but many skateboarders still ride during peak hours, Pillas said.

“Even though the regulation is there, we’re unable to enforce it with the skateboards. That’s something we tried to see how it goes and now it’s going south,” Pillas said. “The message gets so diluted down…people will only remember being here and seeing a vehicle on the beach.”

Although he voted for the pilot pro-

gram, Councilman Dennis Dare said he had some reservations about allowing vehicles on the beach on weekends during hours that, in the middle of winter, may be after dark.

“If at some point that becomes a hazard, I would hope the council would take another look,” Dare said.

McGean also cautioned that the town would need to have an “extensive discussion” with the state’s Department of Natural Resources to imple-

ment the proposal. Under its beach replenishment agreement, the right-ofway to the city’s beaches falls as much under the jurisdiction of the DNR as it does the town.

The state has indicated, preliminarily, that it will have some concerns over the environmental impact of driving on Ocean City’s sand, which is much softer than other areas due to the artificial construction of the town’s dunes, McGean said.

Suspect flees into ocean after allegedly carjacking taxi in OC NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) Ocean City police arrested a Pennsylvania man after he allegedly carjacked a taxi with a knife Saturday evening.

According to police, Ian Edward Keim, 36, of Neville Island, threatened to kill the taxi driver during the incident, which began at about 6:15 p.m.

That driver told police that he had picked up a fare at 49th Street. While he was driving north near 91st Street, his passenger, later identified as Keim, grabbed him from behind with his left hand, placing him in a chokehold. The driver was pinned against the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat by his neck.

Keim, who allegedly held a knife in his right hand while maintaining the chokehold with his left, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to kill you. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to kill you,â&#x20AC;? the driver told police.

The driver grabbed Keimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right hand, held it down in the passenger seat and stopped the taxi in the left lane of Coastal Highway. He then escaped from Keimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hold, got out of the taxi and walked to the back of it.

After the driver exited the taxi, Keim

reportedly got into the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat and started driving north.

A couple in a vehicle behind the taxi and who had witnessed Keim taking off, told the taxi driver to get into their vehicle and they followed Keim.

Keim continued north into 120th Street and then south on Assawoman Drive, where he stopped near 118th Street. He then got out of the taxi and ran toward the beach.

Keim was discovered swimming in the ocean near 119th Street. After police detained him, the taxi driver identified him as his assailant.

Near where they located Keim, police found a black hat, a white shirt and a knife. The clothing matched the description of the clothing worn by the man in the taxi.

Police charged Keim with armed carjacking and armed robbery, although the District Court commissioner found no probable cause for the charge of armed carjacking.

He was taken to the Worcester County Jail where he was held on a $100,000 bond. During a bond review Monday morning at District Court in Snow Hill, Judge Gerald Purnell ordered the bond to be increased to $250,000.

Department of Ag. withdraws proposal for emergency legis.

Would have limited use of poultry manure as fertilizer; will meet parties next month NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) The plans of many Worcester County farmers were changed early this week when the Department of Agriculture withdrew its proposal for emergency legislation that would have limited the use of poultry manure as fertilizer.

Instead, department officials intend to meet with the affected parties next month in an attempt to explain how the regulations would work.

The farmers had planned to protest the proposed legislation during a public hearing to be held Wednesday by the Maryland General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review in Annapolis. But on Monday, the Department of Agriculture announced that the meeting was cancelled.

In a press release, Agriculture Secretary Buddy Vance said the department had withdrawn its request for emergency status on proposed changes to the state phosphorus management tool and the request for a hearing this week.

Lot# 240 Spacious 2 Bedroom.

County Commissioner Virgil Shockley said, because the Department of Agriculture “definitely underestimated the reaction they were going to get. They thought they were just going to slide it through. They do not understand the ramifications of what they’re trying to regulate.”

Worcester County’s two main industries are tourism and agriculture.

He estimated that the poultry industry brings $25 million to $30 million to the county from grower payments, farmers paying for corn and related revenue. Stateside, the agriculture industry brings in approximately $8 billion to state coffers and the poultry industry accounts for $2 billion of that.

“There’s a disconnect as far as the economic impact and the number of jobs and overall effect that would happen if poultry were to leave the Shore,” Shockley said.

As people drive from places like Baltimore to this side of the state, they love to see fields of corn and wheat and soybeans, but they do not realize the farmers must apply nutrients to their fields so those crops can grow, Shockley said.

He added that farmers can either pay for commercial fertilizer or use poultry manure, “which is here. It works and it’s less cost to the farmers and farmers are in business to make money.”

The driver, Kyle Joseph Cody, 23, of Woodbridge, Va., was charged with having a handgun in a vehicle, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.

Cody was taken before a District Court commissioner and released on his own recognizance. He is scheduled to appear in District Court in Ocean City on Nov. 27.

Proposal causes serious concerns for Worcester County farmers In response to Shockley’s request, the Worcester County Commissioners sent a letter of opposition, signed by Bud Church, president of the commissioners, Aug. 21 to Paul Pinsky, Senate chairman of the Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review, and Samuel Rosenberg, House chairman of the same committee.

The proposed regulations, the letter states, would “have a severe negative impact on the use of poultry manure

in Worcester County and would therefore be devastating to the agricultural industry in Worcester County and the State of Maryland.”

Serious concerns had been raised, the letter continues, “about the proposed regulation by manure transporters who may have fewer farms willing to accept chicken manure, chicken growers who may have no place to send their manure thus creating problems on chicken farms, crop farms who will have extra costs to fertilize their fields since they will be de-

nied the ability to use manure, and chicken companies who may have to reduce bird placements on some farms because of those farms’ inability to clean out their houses in accordance with company recommendations.

“While the Worcester County Commissioners understand and appreciate the need to protect and preserve our natural environment, we also understand the need for balanced regulations which will also enable our local agricultural industry to continue to thrive and facilitate the economic re-

covery of Worcester County and the State of Maryland. Simply put, the proposed regulation appears to place too high a price on the agricultural operations in Worcester County. Therefore, prior to any further consideration, the Worcester County Commissioners request that a comprehensive economic impact study be conducted to determine the full impact and cost of this new regulation.”

The commissioners’ letter was also sent to Delegates Norman Conway, See DEPARTMENT on Page 22A

No legal fees reimbursed in Hudson farm case NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) Neither Perdue Farms nor the Berlin farm couple who were sued because of allegations that a non-existent pile of poultry manure was polluting water in a ditch can recoup attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Assateague Coastkeeper Kathy Phillips and the Waterkeeper Alliance claimed runoff for a pile of chicken manure, erroneously identified as such after viewing aerial photographs of the farm near Berlin owned by Alan and Kristin Hudson, was violating the Clean Water Act. They filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Baltimore in March 2010. When it was learned that the pile was not chicken manure, but biosolids, commonly used as fertilizer, from the Ocean City wastewater treat-

ment plant, the environmentalists claimed the pollutants must have come from particles being blown from the chicken houses by fans and from the soles of shoes worn by people who walked into the chicken house. The two-week trial was held in October 2012 and two months later, Judge William Nickerson ruled in favor of the Hudsons and Perdue. Nickerson nearly lambasted the plaintiffs for their argument that particles blown from chicken houses or carried on the soles on shoes were polluting water. He had cautioned the plaintiffs against proceeding with the case and had warned that he could award legal fees to the defendants. In February 2013, after deciding that they wanted the Waterkeeper Alliance to be held accountable for filing what they called an irresponsible case against them, Perdue and the Hudsons asked for their legal fees to be reimbursed.

Perdue sought $2.5 million and the Hudsons sought $500,000. The alliance, had been represented by the University of Maryland Environmental Law Clinic.

After Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement, Perdue Farms spokesperson Julie DeYoung said the effort to recover legal fees had never been about Perdue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was about trying to ensure that another farm family doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go through the unfair situation the Hudson family faced, and that the Waterkeepers and other organizations like them would think twice about pursuing legal action that uses hard-working American families as pawns in their attack on modern agriculture. While disappointed in his decision, we were pleased that the judge reiterated his distress at the misrepresentations by Waterkeeper Alliance Scott Edwards and Assateague Coastkeeper Kathy Phillips.â&#x20AC;?

Department of Ag. plans to submit new proposal in Sept.

Mike McDermott, Charles Otto and Sen. Jim Mathias, who issued a press release Tuesday.

Sen. Jim Mathias said the proposal went too far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our farms are the lifeblood of the economy of the Eastern Shore and Maryland workforce,â&#x20AC;? Mathias stated in the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The emergency regulations that were to be heard before the AELR committee were a step too far, endangering farms, families and jobs while increasing the risk of our poultry industry leaving the great state of Maryland.â&#x20AC;?

Disagreeing with Mathias and farmers is Assateague Coastkeeper and Assateague Coastal Trust Executive Director Kathy Phillips, who favors the proposed regulation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adopting these new regulations will be painful, but the time has come to face the reality that Delmarva cannot sustain a growing poultry/corn/soybean industry without doing significant damage to our waterways,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state has already mandated phosphorus control to lawn fertilizers and laundry detergents. The time has come to bring these same pollution controls to the agricultural industry in this state.â&#x20AC;?

Phillips also said she was encouraged to see that the state Department of Agriculture agreed to submit the regulations for final adoption within a month.

The hearing on the proposed regulations had not been rescheduled as of earlier this week. Shockley said he believed the Department of Agriculture would â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring the stakeholders together and try to come up with something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work.â&#x20AC;?

The phosphorus management tool it had come up with would have replaced the phosphorus site index and would have been used to â&#x20AC;&#x153;identify areas where excess phosphorus is present in the soil and a high potential for phosphorus loss exists,â&#x20AC;? according to the press release issued by the Department of Agriculture.

Also in that press release, Vance said that the emergency regulation was withdrawn to ensure farmers have time to adjust to use of the new phosphorus management tool and to respond to questions about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Department has decided to meet with key stakeholders and will resubmit the proposal next month,â&#x20AC;?

Vance said.

Resort resident, ‘Surfin’ Betty Sapia, celebrates 80th birthday Family recounts memories of Ocean City during party at Captain’s Table, Mon. CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) Over the past 40 years, “Surfin” Betty Sapia has become an institution in Ocean City, where she is known for her hard work, tough love and insistence on giving hot meals to employees at the family business.

She celebrated her 80th birthday Monday at the Captain’s Table restaurant on 15th Street, where family members recounted fond memories over a meal and live music by Bryan Clark.

“She’s a good mom,” her son, Ralph Sapia, said. “She made a lot of good sacrifices.”

Betty came to Ocean City about 40 years ago to join the family business. At the time, her relatives owned a slew of area businesses, like The Severn and the Electric Circus, her son, Jimmy, said.

“I worked from breakfast to dinner,” Betty said. In fact, she only recently cut back from a seven-day workweek to five mornings a week at the Ocean View Hotel, at the behest of her son.

“I love the business. I love my customers,” she said. “Every year I get a new group of kids that feel like family by the end of the summer.”

But over the years, the rhythm of Ocean City businesses has overshadowed her birthday on Aug. 27, at the end of a busy summer when seasonal employees have returned home.

“Unfortunately over the years, her birthday’s just been whitewashed,” Jimmy said. That makes events like Monday’s family gathering and a 40th birthday bonfire with her employees especially fond memories for Betty.

Her three sons, Ralph, Jimmy and Vince make the trip home every year possible for their mother’s birthday — a fondness and respect that stretches back to their childhoods in Ocean City.

“It was a really small town,” Ralph said, and the boys could hear the bell ring at the fire station each time a fire truck responded to an emergency.

“Wherever we were, we picked up a pay phone and called my mother to let her know we were okay,” he said.

That same respect carries over to his mother’s professional life, where she treats employees “like family,” Ralph said. That includes providing them with meals —from spaghetti and meatballs to baked chicken and brownies — at the family’s DaVinci’s by the Sea restaurant on 15th Street.

Surfin’ Betty got her nickname through a family business, the Ocean View Grill & Surfin’ Betty’s Beach Bar. The irony is that she doesn’t surf, or even go in the water at the beach, Jimmy said.

“In her 40 years here, I don’t know that

she’s ever sat her foot in the sand,” he joked. “I don’t think she’s ever been to the beach. She sees it every day, but I don’t think she’s ever been there.”

His mother admitted while she loves Ocean City’s coastal views, she’s “scared to death of the water.”

“When my feet get wet, that’s it,” she said.

Betty continues to work at the family’s Ocean View Hotel.

“It’s really a pleasure to go to work in the morning,” she said. “I have a lot of fun memories.”

The family planned to hold a second birthday celebration today, Friday, when son Vince could be in town after dropping his daughter off at college in Florida.

Mosquito-borne diseases found in Worcester and Wicomico Pools tested positive for West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (Aug. 30, 2013) The Wicomico and Worcester County Health Departments received updated test results from the State of Maryland that a mosquito pool in southern Worcester County tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE).

In Wicomico County, there was one pool that tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV), one pool that tested positive for EEE, and an additional pool tested positive for both.

The pools were sampled in remote, low lying areas of the counties, usually known to have standing water year round. This is in addition to the single sample of mosquitoes from Ocean Pines that tested positive for WNV last week.

West Nile Virus is most common

during the summer and fall and the number of infections usually peaks mid-August. The virus is transmitted by infected mosquitoes and spread to humans, birds, horses and other animals.

Since mosquitoes can breed in as little as a quarter inch of water, the recent rain may attract more mosquitoes. Many factors impact when and where outbreaks occur, like weather, numbers of mosquitoes that spread the virus and human behavior.

The Wicomico and Worcester County Health Departments provide the following tips to help prevent contact with mosquitoes and reduce risk of infection by the West Nile virus and EEE: Stay indoors at dawn and dusk.

Wear long-sleeved shirts and long

pants when outdoors.

Use an EPA-registered insect repellent and follow package instructions.

Get rid of mosquito breeding sites: Remove all discarded tires from property; dispose of water-holding containers; change the water in pet dishes and replace the water in bird baths weekly; drill holes in tire swings so water drains out; and keep childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wading pools empty and on their sides when they are not in use.

Most people infected with West Nile virus will show no symptom, but some have mild to severe symptoms, including swollen lymph glands, a rash, fever, headache, disorientation and others. The easiest and best way to avoid this virus is to prevent mosquito bites.

Signs and symptoms of Eastern

Equine Encephalitis include fever, headache, irritability, restlessness, drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, cyanosis, convulsions and coma. There are no medications to treat, or vaccines to prevent, EEE virus infection.

People with milder illnesses typically recover on their own, although symptoms may last for several weeks. In more severe cases, patients often need to be hospitalized to receive supportive treatment, such as intravenous fluids, pain medication and nursing care. Anyone who has symptoms that cause concern should contact a health care provider For more tips and information about West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, please visit our websites at http://worcesterhealth.org or http://wicomicohealth.org.

Kelso’s cross-country bike tour to end Saturday in Ocean City Twenty-three-year-old takes 53-day journey from San Fransisco to resort CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer

PHOTO COURESY ALEX KELSO

Alex Kelso poses for a photo in San Francisco, the starting point for his 53-day bike tour across the country. He will end his trip in Ocean City tomorrow.

(Aug. 30, 2013) A 23-year-old with a penchant for travel will end a two-month, cross-country bike trip in Ocean City on Saturday.

Alex Kelso couldn’t offer a precise reason why he decided to make the 53-day journey here from San Francisco, but decided to tackle 60-100 miles each day “just because it was there.” Along the way, he said, he met many people and has seen the United States “in a way most people never can.”

Before his tour across America, Kelso spent a year teaching English in Spain.

“I was just going to go back and get a job,” he said, “but it’s summer, I had some money, and this was the time to do it.”

He began researching his trip earlier

this year, but said most of that research went out the window once he hit the road.

After starting out on the Transamerica U.S. Bike Route 76, he met other bikers who shared their knowledge.

“You can read about it, you can hear stories, but you really don’t know what to expect until you get out here,” Kelso said.

One part of the plan stayed the same, however: Kelso’s West-to-East route.

Originally from Philadelphia, “I wanted to do the West-to-East thing — come home,” he said. Starting in San Francisco July 9, he plans to dip his tire in the Atlantic Ocean at Ocean City when he arrives Saturday.

The trip has been rife with small challenges, from getting a flat tire in the middle of the Nevada desert to breaking two spokes in one day.

“There are a lot of thing that I had not planned for out here,” Kelso said, but passersby and fellow bikers have helped him with repairs.

The biggest hurdle, however, was “waking up every day and realizing that you have to bike 60 or 80 or 100 miles,” Kelso said.

Spending six to 10 hours alone biking each day was sometimes daunting, more so than the physical challenge of the trip, he said. Some highlights like passing See KELSO on Page 29A

City doing maintenance on abandoned Fiesta Rd. property Trading of mortgage debts makes it difficult to tell whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible for home ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) Although the resort has been hit relatively lightly by the foreclosure crisis, the Town of Ocean City has recently struggled with at least one defaulted property that has not been maintained by its owners.

According to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director of Planning and Community Development Matt Margotta, city work crews have mowed the unkempt lawn and shored up the deteriorating structure at a property located on Fiesta Road in the Caine Woods neighborhood in North Ocean City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it gets to the point where we have to send one of our crews out, we essentially put a lien on the property,â&#x20AC;? Margotta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the house is sold, or whatever its disposition might be, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get our money back for the work we did.â&#x20AC;?

The home has been in financial straits for some time, Margotta said, and the city

was previously successful in contacting the responsible agency whenever complaints arose about the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition. However, it is unknown if the legal responsibility for the property is still in the hands of a private owner, or if ownership has defaulted to the bank. The original holder of the mortgage is deceased, Margotta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My guys are still doing the research on who is the responsible person, because it is technically whoever is running the estate,â&#x20AC;? he noted.

During the recent real estate crisis, banks would frequently sell â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad debtâ&#x20AC;? that they knew could not be repaid to other holders for far less than its estimated value. This equity would then be leveraged for other transactions outside those of the original issuer of the mortgage.

Margotta said the company responsible for the mortgage on the property has recently changed, forcing the city to start a new relationship to try to get the property cleaned up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What had changed was the mortgage service company,â&#x20AC;? Margotta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were dealing with new people who, for lack of a better term, were giving us the See FORECLOSURE on Page 30A

Foreclosure crisis less severe in resort; 10 homes now on mkt. run-around. We kind of had to start the process over again to figure out who’s responsible.”

Given that the property had become a potential health hazard, the city stepped in. Concerns, Margotta said, included possible rodent infestation in the yard and structure, as well as risk of roof collapse.

“People will likely still complain about it being an eyesore, but that’s not the angle we take,” Margotta said. “We’re here to prevent it from being a public safety issue.”

Despite the resort’s high density of second homes, the real estate crisis seemed to have caused less of an issue in Ocean City than it did in other areas of the Continued from Page 29A

county, like Florida, where Margotta worked previously.

“In Florida, this was a much bigger issue,” he said. “There are whole swaths of neighborhoods with foreclosed homes that were getting into questionable shape.”

According to local realtor Dave Whittington, who deals with a number of properties that are being foreclosed or are already bank-owned, only 10 of the 960 properties currently for sale in the resort are foreclosures. A total of 25 have been sold this year, out of 599 total sales.

“Surprisingly, we don’t have that much of them here,” Whittington said. “Back in 2008 to 2009 there were more foreclosures, but it wasn’t a substantial amount to where it was driving our prices down.”

cation, was instructed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get a card all the time, every time.â&#x20AC;?

(Aug. 30, 2013) The Board of License Commissioners discussed the following topics and took the following actions during the Aug. 21 hearing in Snow Hill.

OC Party Market

Lazy Lizard The board fined the Lazy Lizard, located at First Street and the bay in Ocean City, $3,000, for a sale of an alcoholic beverage to a minor.

During a June 26 compliance check, an employee carded a police cadet at the door and did not issue a wristband, which would have signified he was of legal age to drink.

The bartender had a temporary lapse in judgment and served a drink to the minor.

The Lazy Lizard has had three alcoholic beverage violations in three seasons.

Owner Wayne Odachowski said he had contacted consulting firms and Public Affairs Officer Mike Levy of the Ocean City Police Department to develop a more stringent alcohol management policy.

Todd Hayes, the license holder, said he would move from Hunt Valley to Ocean City to take over as general manager.

OC Dollar Store The board voted to place a letter of reprimand in the file of OC Dollar Store, located at 203 N. Philadelphia Ave., for a sale to a minor. It was a first offense for the business, which obtained its beer and wine license this year.

Lt. Doug Smith of the Ocean City Police Department said that when the licensee had the beer and wine license at Bridge Shell, police had heard that people who were underage would use a password in order to purchase alcohol.

Attorney Mark Cropper said that may or may not be true, but as hearsay he considered it inappropriate for the board to consider.

The clerk, who had not asked for identifi-

The board fined the business, located at 300 S. Baltimore Ave., $500 for selling alcohol to a minor June 20 and $2,500 for selling alcohol to a minor June 25.

The first sale was made during a compliance check by the Ocean City Police Department. The second sale was made during a compliance check by the Worcester County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office.

Deputy Hall of the Worcester County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said the clerk continued to sell alcohol without checking IDs even after the illegal sale.

Assawoman Ale Shop The board put a letter in the file of Assawoman Ale Shop, located at 5201 Coastal Highway for a sale of alcohol to a minor on June 11.

The business, located at 5201 Coastal Highway, is located at the site of the former Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Exxon. All fourteen of its employees have been training in selling alcohol and one of the employees is a certified trainer.

Since April 1996, the business has refused service during 11 alcohol compliance checks.

Plaza Tapatia Sales were made to a minor at Plaza Tapatia in Pocomoke and at Plaza Tapatia near Ocean Pines on May 30.

C. L. Marshall, whose name is on the beer, wine and liquor license, said the sales were â&#x20AC;&#x153;very disturbing.â&#x20AC;? The problem at the Pocomoke restaurant, he said, was the frequent turnover of employees.

During the compliance check at the Pocomoke site, a bus boy, who should not have been behind the bar, sold the alcoholic beverage while the bartender was away.

Deputy Hall said personnel at Tapatia do not ask customers for identification. They do not card and they do not speak English, she said.

Hall told the commissioners that she does not believe the owner, who has nine Plaza Tapatias in the state of Maryland, should have an alcoholic beverage license.

The board fined Plaza Tapatia $1,000 for the first offense and $1,500 for the second offense.

The businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new policy is to card everyone.

Public comment sought for pending project at Assateague (Aug. 30, 2013) The National Park Service is releasing the Bayside Picnic and South Ocean Beach Parking Areas Removal and Relocation Environmental Assessment for public review and comment.

This project proposes to remove and relocate the existing bayside picnic and south ocean beach parking areas in Maryland, both of which sustained significant damage from Hurricane Sandy last year.

The goals of the project are to provide continued visitor access to these areas, limit expenses associated with maintaining them and make each area more resistant to future storms.

Two alternatives were analyzed for meeting the objectives: In Alternative A, the No Action / Continue Current Management plan, the National Park Service would continue to use and maintain the existing Bayside picnic parking area, south ocean beach parking area and Life of the Dunes Trail parking area with no changes to the current infrastructure or locations.

This alternative continues existing management and provides a baseline for evaluating the impacts of the action alternative.

In Alternative B, the Removal and Relocation of Parking Areas plan, the existing bayside picnic, south ocean beach, and Life

of the Dunes Trail parking areas would be removed and the bayside picnic parking area and south ocean beach parking area would be relocated to better protect them from active shorelines, making them less vulnerable to damage from future storms.

This approach would provide visitor access to these areas and limit the expenses of maintaining the existing parking locations.

Relocating the south ocean beach parking area will allow for better management of the dunes and increased stabilization of the primary dunes at the location.

This alternative should also provide more reliable visitor access to both parking areas within the national seashore.

The environmental assessment addresses potential impacts to park resources that might result if the proposed project is carried out. Neither of the alternatives analyzed would lead to significant environmental impacts.

Comments may be submitted online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/asis or mailed to the park via Justin Unger, Acting Superintendent, Assateague Island National Seashore, ATTN: Bayside Picnic and South Ocean Beach Parking Areas Relocation EA Comments, 7206 National Seashore Lane, Berlin, Md. 21811. Comments must be received by Sept. 25.

Worcester Prep senior captain Meg Lingo, left, and junior Carolyn Dorey compete in a drill during Tuesday’s practice at the Berlin school.

Lady Mallards hope to repeat as ESIAC champs Wor. Prep field hockey team looks even stronger than last year, coach says LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Aug. 30, 2013) Over the years, the story of the Worcester Prep field hockey team has been “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.” The Lady Mallards have come close, but they have never captured the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship title–that was until last year.

The 2012 squad edged out Sts. Peter & Paul 3-2 to finally win the coveted trophy–the first time in the program’s history.

There was only one senior–goalie Claire Brown– on the team last year.

Everyone else who contributed to the successful season has returned in 2013 and the girls are chomping at the bit to get back to the big game.

“This year, one of our top goals is to

end up where we were last year as ESIAC champion,” said senior twotime captain Meg Lingo, a member of the team since her freshman year. She scored the winning goal in the title game. “It was very exciting [capturing the title] especially being the first time in school history, so hopefully we can do it again and have two banners. I feel like we have a lot of potential so I’m really excited for our season to start.”

Prep Coach Lingo was named Jenny Frostrom the 2012 ESIAC Player of the Year and also received First Team honors.

Senior Sarah Arrington (All-Conference First Team) is also a captain again this year. She will play on the forward line with Lingo. Ali Greer (First Team), a senior, will join them on offense.

Seniors also back to compete are All-Conference Second Team members Hannah Esham (wing) and captain Maddy Stearns (defense), Libby

Truitt (defense), an Honorable Mention recipient; and goalie Maddy Pilchard.

“Being center back, I can see almost the whole entire field so one of my main jobs and Maddy Pilchard’s, our goalie, is to tell people who they have to get on, who they should defend, that’s kind of the main job of defense,” said Stearns, a four-year player. “Fortunately, we have pretty much our same team from last year and we’re all excited and working well together.”

Veteran juniors, Jordie Loomis (First Team), who Coach Jenny Frostrom said is the “heartbeat of the midfield” and “keeps everyone going,” and Natalie Twilley (Honorable Mention) return in the midfield, Carolyn Dorey will play on the defensive line and Caroline Lindsay will take the field at the forward position.

Sophomores Hannah Arrington (defense) and Hanna Nechay (forward) are also returning veterans.

Forward Emmi Shockley competed her freshman year, but missed the 2012 season because she was an actor See FROSTROM on Page 39A

Brittingham, team’s lone senior, to lead Mallards on golf course LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Aug. 30, 2013) Billy Brittingham is the Worcester Prep golf team’s lone senior and Coach Kevin Gates will look to him to lead the Mallards this season.

“With him leading the team, I’m excited about what can happen. All my chips are on him and he’s got the goods that he can handle it,” said Gates, who has been at the helm for seven seasons. “He’s a very

good golfer, but he’s an even better kid. It’s nice when you can get the whole package.”

As a captain and a four-year player, Brittingham said his roles inPrep Coach clude making sure everyone stays focused, Kevin Gates that he and his teammates play well and have fun.

“We’ve got room for improvement,

everybody always does, but everyone’s stepped up their game from last year and we’re really coming together,” he said.

The Mallards won all their Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference matches last season. They also captured their sixth consecutive conference championship.

The team lost five seniors to graduation–including its No. 1 (Scott Gee) and No. 2 (Patrick Dowling) golfers– but five Mallards on Gates’ eight-player roster who

competed in 2012 have returned this year.

Brittingham was named to the AllTournament team in 2012. He also earned All-Conference honors, finishing third overall among ESIAC golfers with a 41stroke average.

As a freshman last year, Jason Cook was named to the All-Tournament Team and was ranked fourth in the ESIAC with a 41.25-stroke average. Cook said his game has improved from last season and with See MALLARD on Page 38A

in the movie Ping Pong Summer, which was filmed in Ocean City. She is back this year.

Newcomers who will contribute include freshmen offensive players, twins Regan and Leigh Lingo, sophomores Taylor Zarif (defense) and Isabel Carulli (midfield). Freshman Margaret McGuiness will be the junior varsity goalie and backup for Pilchard on varsity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve picked up where we left off last year,â&#x20AC;? said Frostrom, now in her seventh season at the helm. She was named 2012 ESIAC Coach of the Year. The team went 12-2 last year.

Frostrom has 24 players on her roster, 14 of whom are veterans. Two sophomores and eight freshmen have joined the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some strong incoming freshmen and the two new sophomores bring a lot of talent and (field hockey) background with them so I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even stronger that we were last year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The seniors and juniors are just such good models and teachers for the large freshman group.â&#x20AC;?

When asked how she would describe the squad, Frostrom said â&#x20AC;&#x153;unstoppable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have too many strong players and not enough spots on the field,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very motivated, focused and highly skilled players. They need to continue to push themselves to be better every time they step on the field, both individually and as a team.â&#x20AC;?

The Mallards hoped to capture their 12th consecutive ESIAC title last year, but the Salisbury Christian Jaguars spoiled their efforts, winning the championship game 3-2.

Worcester finished the 2012 season with an 11-5-1 record.

Underkoffler: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re further along than I thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough loss last year. I think we can win it this year,â&#x20AC;? said Klug, who will play on the defensive line for Worcester.

Added center midfielder Nally, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a good team. We have a lot of young soccer players.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will be exciting to see what we can do this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promising, for sure,â&#x20AC;? Nally said.

Twenty-two players currently make up second-year Coach Terry Underkofflerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster. Twelve competed in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a good mix this year. We have players with varsity experience and we have some talented new players,â&#x20AC;? Underkoffler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re further along than I thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be. They work hard, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quick learners and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to improve upon last year.â&#x20AC;?

Underkoffler said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense is strong this season. In the back field with Klug (2012 ESIAC Honorable Mention) are veterans, senior Jack Marshall and junior Sam Deeley.

Newcomers, sophomores Brian and Continued from Page 39A

Charlie Trupo, will also play in the defensive end.

Charlie Prichard, a sophomore, has earned the starting spot in the goal.

Joining Nally (2012 ESIAC First Team) in the midfield will be senior veteran Matt Reilly and freshmen Tate Shockley, along with Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Owen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing in the center you have a lot of responsibilities and control of what goes on,â&#x20AC;? Nally said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a senior, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to communicate with everybody on the field, especially that we have a lot of freshmen this year.â&#x20AC;?

Underkoffler said the forward line has depth with Loomis (ESIAC First Team) in the center, veterans Wyatt Richins (Second Team), a sophomore, and senior Noah Conboy.

Sophomore Elio Telo will also play up top.

Underkoffler will look to Nally, Klug and Loomis along with the other seniors to lead the squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve picked it up a lot. We have to communicate a little more and talk a little more and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do well,â&#x20AC;? Loomis said.

LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Aug. 30, 2013) Carol Hartnett, who has coached the Worcester Prep girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team since 1998, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;really optimisticâ&#x20AC;? about the 2013 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The players] are athletic and they have a lot of soccer experience. The girls have a soccer mentality. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just a great group to work with,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about the team. We have people who can put the ball in the net, we have a solid defense and we have people

Hartnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21-player roster consists of 16 veterans.

She will count on sweeper Alissa Talbert (2012 Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference First Team) and Cynthia Delaney, both seniors, to anchor the defensive line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the coaches and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been with the program for a while so I kind of know where they want our players to go,â&#x20AC;? said Talbert, a four-year player.

Worcester Prep freshman Julie Talbert, left, battles for the ball with a James M. Bennett player during Tuesday’s scrimmage at the Berlin school.

Team has ‘talent’ to win ESIAC crown this season, Talbert says Seniors Claire Dorey and Sarah Freund will also take the field on defense.

Sophomore Grace Tunis (All-ESIAC Second Team) returns in the goal for the Lady Mallards.

Veterans, Amanda Gabriel and Molly Soulé, both juniors who received AllConference Second Team honors in 2012, will play in the midfield.

Senior Lilly DiNardo, 2012 ESIAC Player of the Year, will run the forward line. The four-year player said she will use her experience to get “everyone pumped up for games and make sure everyone’s listening to the coaches, which will be really imperative to have a good season because we have a lot of freshmen and sophomores.”

“I’m really excited about the season.

It will be a lot of fun,” she added.

Joining DiNardo up top will be veterans, Sophie Brennan, a junior, and sophomore Julia D’Antonio.

field), Julie Talbert (defense), Maggie Coutu (midfield) and Melissa Laws (goalie/midfield)–will all be impact players.

“Their presence will definitely be felt by other teams,” she said.

Added DiNardo, “A lot of the freshmen are filling big positions of the graduating seniors last year and they’re doing a really good job.”

Hartnett said the team’s motto is “take advantage of every opportunity given to us this season.”

The Mallards hope to make a run for the ESIAC title in 2013. They fell to their annual conference rival, the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres, 1-0, in double overtime of the championship game last year.

The Worcester squad finished 2013 with an 8-4-1 record. The only losses were to Sts. Peter & Paul and St. Andrews (both twice).

“My goal is to win the ESIAC championship,” Talbert said. “We’ve been there the past three years and I think we really have the talent this year to win it.”

WORCESTER PREP FALL SPORTS PREVIEW

Worcester Prep volleyball squad welcomes new coaching staff LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Aug. 30, 2013) Worcester Prep offered a volleyball program for the first time in 2011 and not one of the Lady Mallards had much, if any, experience playing the sport.

Several of the girls competing this year for new Worcester head coach, Karen Hammer, now have three years of experience under their belts.

“I was on the team the Prep Coach very first year it came to and the Karen Hammer Worcester bounds we’ve made since that year is just unbelievable,” said senior Claire Stickler. “It’s only preseason, but we’re making a lot of progress. I think this year will be our best yet.”

Also returning on the court for their senior year are Bethany Wolpin and setter McKenna Shanahan, both team members since they were sophomores.

“I just want to make sure everyone’s really pumped up for practice and they’re having a good time. Fun is everything,” Wolpin said. “The goal is that everybody learns, that we bond, we make good friends and we play as a team.”

Hammer, who will be assisted by Cheryl Brown, also new to the program, said she is excited to coach the Mallards this season.

Adjusting to the transition of having a new coach can sometimes be difficult, but things have gone smoothly since preseason began a few weeks ago and all the players have shown improvement, Hammer said.

“The girls were very accepting right from the beginning and eager to play,” she said. “The goal is to improve every day, maintain good sportsmanship and passion for the game.”

Hammer currently has 14 players on her roster, but a few more may be added.

Also back to compete are juniors Mattie Maull (Peninsula Athletic Christian Conference, 2012 All-Tournament Team) and setter Cecily Sass.

Maull and Sass, along with the three seniors, have participated since the program’s inception.

Last year the team’s season came to an end with a loss in the semifinals of the PACC tournament.

“We have a lot of talented returning players,” Hammer said. “The team is very strong. I think they’ll do well.”

Sophomores Bridget Brown, Madison Doody, Erika Smith and Taylor Hawkins (injured) round out the list of returning

players.

Newcomers include freshmen Shelby Cannatelli, Karlie Southcomb and Lauren Meoli, sophomore Sarah Koon and junior Michelle Curtis.

Two decisions based on common sense Two rounds of applause this week go to the mayor and Ocean City Council for wisely changing course on a pair of issues that had generated considerable public discussion: the new Beach Patrol headquarters downtown and the addition of more paid parking in the resort.

Council members were well aware of public sentiment on the installation of paid parking on certain streets, following the overwhelming success of a petition opposing it.

Because of the high number of signatures collected on the call for a referendum on the matter, there was little doubt where a significant portion of the voting population stood. Killing the ordinance that enabled more paid parking just made good political sense under the circumstances.

On the matter of the Beach Patrol headquarters, the council simply did the right thing by one of its most dedicated and most popular divisions.

Because Beach Patrol members often are the only representatives of local government visitors will ever meet, it was only fitting that their headquarters reflect the solid public image they have built over the years.

Further, keeping the headquarters downtown will enhance the Beach Patrol’s image among visitors and help to reinforce its public safety message.

In approving that project, the council also did the right thing for the Ocean City Development Corporation. The headquarters project and the accompanying land swap deal that made it possible clears the way for the OCDC’s model block program, which has been on the sidelines for some time now.

But with a half-block of property in its possession, the OCDC has what it needs to begin turning that section into an example of what can be done throughout the lower portion of Ocean City.

In this and the aforementioned situation, the council made two solid common sense decisions.

By Stewart Dobson

I always looked forward to the first day of school. The other 179 days of the school year was what I didn’t care for.

The first day, though, was different because it was devoted to seeing who was new in my classroom, meeting and passing judgment on new teachers and generally doing nothing except listening to my teachers’ express their high expectations of all of us and otherwise indicating that they had no idea with whom they were dealing.

As for the rest of the year, these very same friendly teachers turned on us and insisted that we do some sort of work, which ruined everything.

If my remedial math serves me correctly, that means of the 2,160 or so days I spent in the public school system, give or take a day of feigned illness, I actually enjoyed 12 of them.

The best way to describe the situation is that I would have been the class valedictorian if the school system had graded us on inattentiveness, an area in which I rose above all others.

I can say that I did learn one thing in school, that being the word “stickto-itiveness,” a teacher-created characteristic that I apparently lacked in great quantities in my early school years.

Although I would protest to my parents that “stick-to-itiveness” was not a real word and therefore not a real thing, I could not be held accountable for not having it.

Apparently, calls were made, because shortly thereafter, “stick-toitiveness” was replaced in assorted reports home with “fails to persevere.”

Even that was not entirely true, since I did persevere in doing as little as possible for as long as possible. In fact, I found that it took more work to come up with an entertaining excuse than doing the work in the first place.

“No, Miss Jones, the dog did not eat my homework. I delayed doing it while I looked for my dog after he was taken by a roving band of driveway-pavers, who intended to hook him up to a cart and have him haul asphalt in the hot sun at the job site, a situation that was clearly inhumane, making it my duty as a patriotic American and an animal lover, to drop my homework and rescue him from these foul circumstances.

“Not buying it? Yes, I did make that up. It was my brother who was taken by a band of … Yes, that’s correct, he was taken right after he ate my homework.”

Poll says Common Core standards not common knowledge ALISSA GULIN The Daily Record Newswire (Aug. 30, 2013) Most Americans don’t know the first thing about the Common Core State Standards, according to a recent Gallup poll, even though most public schools across the country will launch these new learning standards at the end of this month.

The Common Core State Standards initiative is a national effort being voluntarily implemented and managed by local school systems in 45 states and Washington, D.C. In 2010, the Maryland State Board of Education became one of the first states to vote to adopt CCSS. Some schools have already begun rolling out the new curriculum.

All schools in the state will implement the standards (which set rigorous new learning goals in English/language arts and math for students in grades K-12) during the upcoming school year.

Yet the 45th annual PDK International/Gallup “Poll of the Public’s Attitudes Toward the Public Schools” found that 62 percent of adults surveyed said they’d never heard of the Common Core.

Of the respondents who were familiar with the standards, many incorrectly believed the federal government mandated their implementation, according to the survey, which was released to the public Wednesday.

But because not all of the 1,001 survey respondents were parents, the results aren’t too surprising, said William Reinhard, spokesman for the Maryland State Department of Education.

“It’s only being fully implemented this year,” he said. “And I don’t think it’s real surprising that non-parents wouldn’t know about the Common Core any more so than non-parents wouldn’t know about the current curriculum. It’s mostly parents who are involved in that.”

Reinhard said the MSDE has been working since 2010 to publicize the initiative, involving hundreds of teachers, administrators and parents. The department’s Web site puts the Common Core front and center.

“We’ve been working for three years on this,” he said. “This is not something we plan to roll out without having people aware... but we’re going to continue to get the word out to folks.”

The basic idea behind the new stan-

dards is to establish common expectations for what students should learn in each grade and how those concepts should be taught.

The focus is on helping students master basic concepts that will better prepare them for college and for careers in a global economy.

According to the survey, only 41 percent of Americans believe the Common Core will make schools more globally competitive. Yet 95 percent want schools to teach critical thinking skills, which is another major goal of CCSS. The poll also examined public views about arming teachers to protect against

school shooters (most Americans oppose that idea), the value of standardized testing (or lack thereof, according to the majority of respondents) and the merits of home-schooling (which most respondents support). To view the survey results in full, visit the PDK International Web site.

Celebrate Labor Day holiday with variety of events Arts and crafts festival, fireworks among activities CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) School is back in session, but Ocean City visitors can celebrate one more weekend of summer with fireworks, concerts and festivals slated for this Labor Day weekend in the area.

The 5k run will begin at 9 a.m. The walk is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m.

For more information, call Furst at 410-749-1635 ext. 29113 or e-mail Beverly.Furst@cancer.org. Visit www.makingstrideswalk.org/oceancitymd or “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Ocean City, MD” on Facebook.

Since 1993, nine million cancer charity walkers across the country have raised more than $528 million through Making Strides events to help fight breast cancer. Last year alone, supporters raised more than $68 million nationwide to help the American Cancer Society save lives and create a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays.

The Making Strides 5k run and walk is one of several events planned through the local Pink Ribbon Classic Series.

Each October, recognized nationally as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ocean City’s Pink Ribbon Classic Series provides an assortment of activities designed to raise awareness, while garnering money for the American Cancer Society. Activities scheduled for this year include a card game and mahj party/luncheon; tennis and golf tourna-

OCEAN CITY: Ocean City will host its 19th annual Labor Day Weekend Arts and Crafts Festival Friday, Aug. 30 through Sunday, Sept. 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The free event will feature pottery, glass art, woodwork, candles and more on sale by about 70 vendors at the convention center on 40th Street.

“We keep it free to give people just one more thing to do when they’re down here,” said festival promoter Ami Hastings.

Most artists are from the Delmarva area and will bring some new wares this year, including driftwood art, Hastings said.

A concession stand will be open and specialty food vendors will sell nuts, homemade cakes and breads and other food and drinks.

On Sunday, the Town of Ocean City will host its final laser lights show from 9:30-10:30 p.m. at North Division Street and the beach. The free show will light up the night with lasers, lights and special effects choreographed to music and displayed on a five-story inflatable sphere.

“The laser light shows have grown into one of most popular events that we offer,” Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan said. “The grand finale this Sunday is going to be the best show yet. If you are in or near Ocean City this weekend, you won’t want to miss it.”

In addition to the grand finale show on Sunday, a laser light show is slated for Saturday night. Each show is about eight minutes long and begins at 9:30 p.m., 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

More than 1,000 walkers hit the Boardwalk last year for Ocean City’s second annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5k event. About 280 runners took off from the starting line in the inlet parking lot shortly before. Participants helped raise $159,777 for the American Cancer Society.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Kickoff event held last week for third annual 5k run/walk in Ocean City LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Aug. 30, 2013) On Oct. 20, 2012, more than 1,000 walkers and about 280 runners hit the Boardwalk for Ocean City’s second annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5k event.

“As chairperson for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event, I am again overwhelmed by the community’s generosity and support of this event. We had more people, more teams and well exceeded our goal [of $125,000] by raising $159,777,” Beverly Furst said after last year’s event. “As part of the Pink Ribbon Classic, we were able to raise more money for research and programs and awareness for the American Cancer Society.”

A party to kick off the 2013 5k run and 3.1-mile walk, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 19, on the Ocean City Boardwalk, took place last Thursday at Jive on 82nd

Street. Cancer survivors were recognized during the event and there was a moment of silence for those who have lost the battle.

As the American Cancer Society celebrates it 100th anniversary this year, the theme is “Finish the Fight” against breast cancer.

“Now is the time to make the final push to finish the fight. We want to make this breast cancer’s last century,” Furst said.

The third annual Ocean City run/walk on Saturday, Oct. 19 will start at the inlet parking lot. As of Tuesday, the online donation total was approximately $44,500 and climbing. Furst said the goal this year is to have between 1,200 and 1,500 people participate and raise $200,000.

Pre-register online at www.makingstrideswalk.org/oceancitymd. The cost for advance registration for the 5k is $35; $25 for the walk.

On the day of the event, registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. The cost to sign up on Oct. 19 is $40 for the run and $35 for the walk.

Participants will receive a T-shirt.

Awards will be presented to the top finishers and fundraisers.

Pink Ribbon Classic Series offers variety of activities in Oct. ments, Pamper For Charity Raffle, Jammin’ Out Cancer, Mah Jongg Tourney and Crop Out Cancer. The first event in the series was the Capt. Steve Harman Poor Girls Open ladies-only fishing tournament, held Aug. 15-17. Organizers presented the American Cancer Society with $67,500 during the tournament awards banquet. PGO co-Director Earl Conley and Shawn Harman, owner of Fish Tales and Bahia Marina on 22nd Street–where tournament weigh-ins took place–presented another $2,500 to the ACS from the PGO at the gathering Thursday.

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

While some of the money will be earmarked for national breast cancer research, the remainder will stay on the Eastern Shore, where it will be used for education projects, patient programs and services.

Some of those include free wigs for patients; the Look Good Feel Better program, which teaches patients how to cope with the cosmetic side-effects of treatment; Reach to Recovery, a one-onone support visitation program by trained breast cancer survivors for new patients; Road to Recovery, which offers patients transportation to and from medical facilities for cancer treatments; Hope Lodge, lodging during treatment; Patient Navigator Program, help with the health care system; Cancer Survivors Network and a 24-hour/seven-day information center with oncology nurses or social workers. All of these services are free.

One in two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer reaches out to the ACS for help and support.

The American Cancer Society is the largest source of cancer research funds in the country, next to the U.S. government.

SELBYVILLE, DEL.: Saturday, Aug. 31, in Selbyville, Del., Juggler Cascading Carlos will lead a free program on juggling for kids at the Freeman Stage from 10-11 a.m. He is known for incorporating illusions and tricks in his juggling acts.

“You’ll be amazed by his juggling skills,” said Kim Schilpp of the Freeman Stage. “His talent to teach you how to juggle will help you build your self-esteem, confidence and focus.”

The stage is four miles west of Fenwick Island, Del. at the intersection of Route 54 and Route 20. Turn into the Bayside community and continue straight on Americana Parkway. The stage is on Town Lake at the intersection of Americana Parkway and Lakeview Drive.

Bring your own chair to this event.

Later that night, the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra will perform with the Morgan State University Choir at the Freeman Stage’s season finale, complete with fireworks.

The orchestra is “definitely a crowd pleaser” and performed with the same choir last year, the stage’s accounting manager Bernadette Dalling said.

“They were very well-received.”

The free show begins at 7 p.m., but Dalling said visitors should come early

as the event draws a big crowd. The performance will close with fireworks around 9 p.m. Bring your own chair.

POCOMOKE: In Pocomoke, 54th annual Skipjack Race festivities run all weekend, Saturday, Aug. 31 through Monday, Sept. 2.

The event hosted by the Deal Island Chance Lion’s Club kicks of Saturday night with a gospel concert from 4-9 p.m. at the harbor. The event is free, though donations will be accepted.

Several arts and crafts vendors will be present Saturday night.

At 1 p.m., the cars will parade from Deal Island School to the harbor, with awards to follow. The car show and parade are free to watch.

In the evening, a dance with a live band runs from 7-11:30 p.m. The dance costs $7.50 per person. Food will be available.

Admission costs $5 Monday for adults and is free for children under 12.

After the races, there will be food, vendors and music; a kids swimming contest and bouncy house; and more tours of the skipjacks. A silent auction and drawings for $5,000 in cash prizes will take place.

At 2:30 p.m., a boat-docking contest with 15 to 20 boats competing in several classes begins.

An Ocean City Tradition ENTERTAINMENT:

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With your Arian charm quotient at an almost all-time high this week, plus all the facts to back you up, you just might win over the last doubters to your proposal.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might be in line for that job change you applied for. But be advised that you could be called on to defend your qualifications against supporters of other applicants.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Creating a new approach to an old idea is one way to get beyond that workplace impasse. No such problems in your personal life, where things continue to flow smoothly.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be more forthcoming about your feelings concerning a proposed change either in your workplace or in your personal life. Your opinions are valuable. Don’t keep them hidden.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A changing situation in your life needs more patience than you appear to be willing to offer. Allowing it to develop at its own pace is the wisest course you can take at this time.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) With more stability in your life — on both personal and professional levels — this could be a good time to strengthen relationships with both friends and colleagues.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) People have always relied on your integrity not only to get the job done, but to get it done right. So don’t be pressured by anyone into cutting corners to save time.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While others might get rattled over unexpected changes, your ability to adapt calmly and competently helps you make a positive impression during a crucial period.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A changing environment might be daunting for some, but the adventurous Sagittarian takes it all in stride. A friend from the past could awaken some meaningful memories.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) With your self-assurance rising to full strength, the bold Goat should feel confident about opening up to new ventures as well as new relationships.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Reaching out to someone who has been unkind to you might not be easy. But in the long run it will prove to have been the right thing to do. A friend offers moral support.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your keen insight once again helps you work through a seemingly insoluble problem in your workplace. The weekend offers a good chance to develop new relationships.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a knack for finding details that others would overlook. You would make a fine research scientist.

Prepare shrimp fritters with remoulade sauce to enhance flavor FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Dish of crunchy morsels can be served year-round DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) People who adore shrimp might consider bringing a little extra money when purchasing the yummy crustaceans. The spread of Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) disease has significantly reduced the production in major exporting countries of East Asia.

According to an article that appeared on the Web site â&#x20AC;&#x153;Focus on Fish Health,â&#x20AC;?

Early Mortality Syndrome is an emerging disease caused by bacteria. The disease does not affect humans but is often

fatal to shrimp. Infected shrimp ponds can experience loss rates as high as 100 percent.

EMS was first reported in 2009 in Asia. It caused largescale die-offs of cultivated shrimp in such countries as China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. WMS is not found in the United States.

Research indicates that EMS does not survive cooking or freezing. Given that frozen shrimp account for the vast majority of U.S. shrimp imports, the risk of EMS entering the U.S. through these products appears quite low.

At this time, there is no need for trade restrictions on frozen, processed shrimp destined for retail food sales in the

United States, the article said.

But the next question is how we can economize but still incorporate shrimp on the menu. Shrimp fritters instantly come to mind. The beauty of the crunchy morsels is that they can be served yearround. They can be served plain but a remoulade sauce would enhance the flavor of the dish.

A remoulade sauce is a French sauce created with a mayonnaise base. There is no set recipe. The ingredients of a remoulade sauce depend largely on what you are pairing with it. Mustard, minced onions, garlic, capers, and parsley are the basis of the sauce.

Herbs, gherkins, ketchup, and hot sauce are also possibilities. If your remoulade sauce is on the thick side, simply add a touch of dry white wine.

Prepare the sauce a day ahead of time. It not only saves time but also allows the aromas to blend.

As for the fritters themselves, adding baking powder to the batter will lighten them. Paul Prudhommeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shrimp seasoning will give them some extra zest, but any seafood seasoning will suffice.

A touch of hot sauce also will add zing and give the shrimp fritters more complexity.

The oil is another consideration. The fritter is the star and flavored oil will take away from its natural essence, so canola or vegetable oil is a good choice.

When frying the shrimp fritters, do not overcrowd the pot. Too many fritters will lower the temperature of the oil and that will hinder the crisping process.

Another question people routinely ask is whether to devein shrimp. From a purely aesthetic point of view, shrimp are much more appealing without the black vein. The vein is actually the digestive track. Since shrimps are dirt-feeders, there could be a lot of grit and sand. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary to devein tiny or small shrimp, but any size larger should be deveined.

Summer is coming to an end and the much anticipated football season is around the corner. Shrimp with remoulade sauce is perfect for both occasions and mouthwatering good.

1 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup grain mustard 2 tablespoons shallots, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 2 tablespoons capers, chopped 1 tablespoon hot sauce 2 splashes of fresh lemon juice Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste 1. Combine all of the ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cook shrimp fritters until golden brown, allow to cool on rack

Fall: Most challenging part of guarding season

Continued from Page 8B SHRIMP FRITTERS

(Aug. 30, 2013) It is difficult to believe that summer is almost over and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;weekâ&#x20AC;? of August, as we call it, has come and is just about gone.

For the majority of us who are students or educators, our life away from the beach is calling us back or we are already back.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol has a large number of SRTs in college and many others on the patrol are educators at various levels in school systems throughout Maryland, the U.S. and even Canada.

It is a lifestyle that allows us to have our summers free to pursue our work with the beach patrol. The downside of this availability is that many colleges and school

canola oil for deep-frying and sautĂŠing 1 onion, finely chopped 4 small cloves of garlic, minced 1 1/2 stalks of celery, finely chopped 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped 1 ½ pounds deveined shrimp, coarsely chopped 3 eggs beaten 1 ½ cups milk 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons Paul Prudhommeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shrimp Magic or any seafood seasoning 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted 7 cups of plain panko bread crumbs lemon wedges for garnish 1. Heat the canola oil in a large pot to 360 degrees. The oil should reach about two-thirds of the way to the top.

2. While the oil is heating, sautĂŠ the vegetables and parsley over mediumhigh heat until they become soft. Then add the shrimp and continue cooking until the shrimp just starts to turn pink.

Immediately remove from the heat and place in a strainer to remove any excess oil. Allow to cool.

3. In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, Shrimp Magic, and cayenne pepper.

Whisk until thoroughly blended.

4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Make sure the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture. You may to use the back of a large spoon to dissolve any lumps.

6. Add the shrimp and vegetables to the batter and stir to combine.

7. Using a tablespoon, scoop the batter into the size of a large golf ball. Roll it in the panko breadcrumbs. You may have to rinse your hands several times during this process. Place the fritter in a large spoon and very carefully lower it into the oil. Cook until the fritters are golden brown. Allow to cool briefly on a cooling rack.

8. Serve warm with remoulade sauce on the side. Garnish with lemon wedge.

ON GUARD KRISTIN JOSON Contributing Writer

systems start classes before Labor Day weekend. Consequently, as classes have started, the beach patrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers start shrinking.

As the beach patrol strives to maintain the maximum number of guard stands on the beach, vacationers continue to choose Ocean City as a vacation destination. This situation becomes the greatest challenge for the patrol as we try to provide the same level of protection for each visitor as when we are at 100 percent staffing. To complicate matters, this is also the time of year that Ocean City experiences an increase in the volume and size of waves due to tropical activity in the Atlantic. August and September are tra-

ditionally our large surf months, producing larger waves, rip currents and shorebreak.

As we move later into September, fewer guards are left to handle bigger rips and waves. This is when the training and skills they have been honing all summer will be put to use keeping all of our beach patrons safe during these busy final weeks of the season.

Through the experience and expertise of Lt. Mike Stone (29 years with the patrol and a local school counselor) and his scheduling skills, we have been able to obtain our goal of keeping the maximum number of guard stands on the beach for the maximum number of days. Many of our personnel who have not left for other commitments will volunteer to work without a day off to add to our staffing so See OCBP on Page 11B

OCBP guards will continue to provide coverage until Sept. 22 that we can provide the maximum coverage. All surf rescue technicians will have a more challenging situation with the greater distance between stands and a larger area of responsibility. Many of these personnel will choose to work without a day off until the end of the season so that we can provide additional coverage and the added safety to swimmers of more guards on duty. A large number of SRTs, who have left for other obligations away from the beach, will return on a part-time basis. They return to help out on both weekdays and weekends, even scheduling classes to allow availability during several days each week.

OCBP is committed to provide SRTs along the entire 10 miles of beach for all visitors and residents, so rather than have unguarded areas, the number of available lifeguard towers is equally distributed along the beach front. As this redistribution occurs the location and distance between stands changes (sometimes on a daily basis). We will continue to provide coverage of all 10 miles of Ocean City beaches until Sunday, Sept. 22. Thanks to the support of the mayor and city council we will continue to provide this level of coverage.

Although Ocean City’s coverage will be Continued from Page 10B

done with fewer personnel and less lifeguard towers, we will supplement this coverage by increasing the number of mobile rescue units patrolling the beach.

These mobile units are first-aid and AED equipped with one SRT (rider) acting as the primary rescue swimmer while the other SRT (driver) maintains radio communication and backup during an emergency. Both are qualified as surf rescue technicians, medical first responders and are quad (ATV) certified. SRTs will be on duty daily between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

To make sure we end our season and yours safely, vacationers and locals can help the guards and themselves by making the extra effort to swim close to a lifeguard. We strongly encourage all beach patrons to restrict any beach or water related activities to times when beach patrol personnel are on duty, never swim alone, always stay within the limits of their ability and never rely on a flotation device.

Captain’s Note: Thanks to the amazing abilities of Lt. Stone to work with the schedule and the professionalism and commitment of our Surf Rescue Technicians who are willing to work without time off, we are able to maintain 92 percent of our stands on the beach although we lost 32 percent of our SRT’s last week.

Plein air paintings on display at OC Center for the Arts in Sept.

(Aug. 30, 2013) Join the Art League of Ocean City on Friday, Sept. 6 from 57 p.m. for the opening reception of the Plein Air painting exhibit.

Aug. 9-10 the Art League of OC held its annual Plein Air event where 50 artists from six states painted at the Boardwalk, the West Ocean City harbor, bayside marshes and Northside Park. The Plein Air paintings will be on exhibit at the OC Center for the Arts on 94th Street during September.

The Plein Air paintings were judged by watercolor artist Jeanne Landau and prizes were awarded. The winners were: Cheryl Wisbrock, first place and $1,000 (prize sponsored by Paco’s Paradise) for her painting of the marsh at 76 Street; Dorothy Harrison Braun, second place ($500 prize sponsored by OC Eks Lodge) for her painting of a fishing boat;

third place, Dennis Young ($250 prize sponsored by Worcester County) for his pastel painting of a beach house and boats docked on 94th Street in Ocean City. Honorable mentions went to Debra Howard, Lissa Abrams, and Tinsel Hughes.

On Aug. 11, 22 artists participated in a quick draw event that was held on the Boardwalk next to the Life Saving Station Museum. The quick draw winners were: first place, Ann Crostic $100; second place, Ann Schaefer, $75 and third place, Cheryl Wisbrock, $50. Honorable mention went to Valerie Witowski.

The judge for the quick draw was Michel Demanche from Salisbury University.

Featured in the galleria will be the exhibit, “FLUENCY: Salisbury University Faculty and Student Artwork in Dia-

logue.” The exhibit will be curated by the Salisbury University art department chair, Brooke Rogers. The exhibit will feature works by professors, each paired with work by a student. The professors paired with students are: JeanneAnderton/Jonathan Arias, Ed Brown/Melanie Lyons, Jess Davis/Diana Johnson, Paul Flexner/Elissa Salerno, Jim Hill/Jonathan Demauro, Marjorie Hill/Becky Boyd, Jinchul Kim/Katie Jang, Dean Peterson/Sarah Wilhelm and Brooke Rogers/Monica Forrester.

During September, Faye Kempton will be the artist in residence. Swing by the Center for the Arts to see her dichroic glass jewelry and watercolor and acrylic paintings. In addition to the dichroic glass jewelry and her paintings she is also a sculptor and a stone carver.

Carl Forsberg will be featured in the

member spotlight with his portrait-like photographs of birds. He has always had an interest in photography and things that fly. He loves to photograph birds, which he does mostly in the comforts of his own backyard.

“In my work of bird photography I attempt to capture the bird’s individuality, personality, charm and mood at the time of the shot” Forsberg said. “I may spend days, into weeks and thousands of shots for one keeper.”

The OC Center for the Arts, which is run by the nonprofit, Art League of OC, is located on 94th Street, bayside. The galleries are open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Security increases at Worcester Co. Public Schools for 2013-14 Armed deputies patrolling each campus and additional cameras have been installed

" " "

On Rt. 26 in Millville, Delaware

!

CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) Worcester County Public Schools have ramped up security for the 2013-2014 school year with new security deputies patrolling each campus, additional cameras surveying schools, electronic entry systems and other safety measures.

“It offers a vital layer of protection,” said the schools’ Coordinator of Public Relations and Special Programs Barbara Witherow, a member of the schools’ Safety Committee. “When students feel safe and when teachers feel safe, they can focus fully on teaching and learning.”

Discussions on propping up school safety started immediately in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting last December, when 20-yearold Adam Lanza shot 26 people and himself at the school.

Over the course of the spring, school, law enforcement and government officials convened to determine what steps

would be taken. The result: each of the county’s 14 public schools now has an armed security deputy on campus throughout the school day — a total of 13 deputies since Snow Hill Middle School and the Cedar Chapel Special School share a campus and one officer will cater to both schools.

The cost of the additional deputies, 11 of which are part-time, is estimated to be $594,225.80 this year because of training expense and is projected to drop to $486,611.30 next year.

“Out of all our security measures, I would say it’s the most significant layer of security protection,” Witherow said.

While the deputies are paid for through the budget for the sheriff’s office, the schools budget added $173,425 to improve security, with half reimbursed by the state through a security improvement initiative grant, Witherow said.

One change in protocol involves more frequent student safety drills on buses, for fires and in case lockdown occurs. Before, each school had its own set of codes for emergencies, but Worcester County schools have adopted a uniform code of operation to facilitate cross-campus communication, Witherow said.

School’s in session: new year kicked off Monday in Worcester Projected 6,671 students will attend county’s 14 public schools in 2013-14 CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) Monday marked the start of the 2013-2014 school year for Worcester County Public School students.

A projected 6,671 students will walk the hallways of the county’s 14 schools this year, 21 more students than last year, said the schools’ Coordinator of Public Relations and Special Programs Barbara Witherow.

The school system hired 52 teachers to fill vacancies left by retirements or attrition, creating an eight percent turnover in the teaching staff of 675.

Five schools have new principals: Buckingham Elementary School, Ocean City Elementary School, Snow Hill Elementary School, Cedar Chapel Special School and Snow Hill Middle School.

The 180-day school year is slated to end Thursday, June 12, with three days of cancelation allotted for snow and other bad weather. School will end early if the county school system does not use those three days, Witherow said.

While students spend 180 days in class, the state requires teachers to work 188 days. Professional days are days off for students, but are “full-days for teachers, packed with in-service and required activities, such as grade reporting,” Witherow said. The county’s public school scheduled four

County schools have seen several major changes since last school year, from ramped up safety measures following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting last December to the implementation of the Common Core State Standards.

Following a series of meetings with the county sheriff’s office, the Board of Education, the Worcester County Commissioners and school safety committee, each of Worcester County’s

public schools now has an armed security deputy on campus throughout the school day.

“Their role is to be responsible for patrolling the inside of the school as well as the school campus,” Witherow said. “They would be a first responder should there be a security threat.”

In addition, schools’ front doors have been outfitted with electronic entry systems: buzzers, cameras and speakers that let school staff control who enters the locked doors. Once inside, visitors undergo a background check before staff give them a badge and allow them into the school.

Schools with portable classrooms now have card-swiping entry systems on the doors leading from the main building to the portable classroom area. Additional security cameras are in place and students are taking part in more safety drills, Witherow said.

In all, the measures cost an estimated $173,425 (not including the security officers, who were hired through the sheriff’s office), half of which was paid for by a State of Maryland Capital Security Improvement Initiative grant, she said.

Worcester Co. school system hires 52 teachers to fill vacancies the Common Core State Standards, a national set of benchmarks for K-12 students, this year in conjunction with curricula developed on the county level to meet those goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Common Core standards are rigorous, internationally benchmarked expectations that prepare students for college and career(s) and to compete globally,â&#x20AC;? Witherow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the Common Core, students will be participating in more student-directed learning, working on real-world problems (and) challenges in a dynamic, digitally-enhanced environment.â&#x20AC;?

Partly to adapt to the new standards, Worcester County schools received $200,000 this year to buy 240 new computers for students. With a technology budget increase of

$30,000, the school system also increased its broadband capacity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to move toward digitally enhanced classrooms and to meet the testing requirements for online assessments,â&#x20AC;? Witherow said of the changes.

A renovation project for Snow Hill High School could start as early as January if it wins final approval from the county commissioners. At their August 20 Board of Education meeting, the board approved the bid package, which reduced the estimated project cost by $1.4 million. Superintendent of Schools Jerry Wilson and the Board of Education will seek approval from county commissioners for the bid on Sept. 3.

Worcester County Public Schools also implemented an energy efficiency

program six months ago. Schools that reduce energy costs will recover some of the savings to be used for instruction materials and classroom supplies, Witherow said. So far, schools have contributed to savings of around $100,000, she said.

Finally, the Board of Education adopted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worcester 2016â&#x20AC;? strategic direction plan in January, identifying school goals like ensuring academic success for students, connecting classrooms to future working environments through several pathways, promoting high-quality teaching and learning, improving resource management; and forming partnerships to enhance student successes.

IRISH KEMP Contributing Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) We love it when they come and we love when they go. We’re not just talking friends and family, we’re talking about the multitudes of vacationers who took over our highways and byways in overwhelming numbers this summer.

It took me a half-hour to get to the nearby grocery store last week. As for my family, they all rented their own places, but for the first time in years, seven out of eight vacationed in Ocean City. So many arrived in the last month that I suspected an intervention.

Would you believe I jumped the gun and staged my own intervention? After all these years, were they going declare this mother of eight insane? They’re all in denial but my readers will be glad or sorry to know, I ain’t going anywhere.

Out and about and around town celebrating September birthdays and anniversaries are some of our town’s most active seniors: Sen. Jim Mathias, Jack and Pat Funk, Bill Thompson, Louisa McCabe, John Rozanowski and Jeanne Noble.

Congratulations also to the Castanedas on their 24th year of wedded bliss. Would you believe that two, ever-so-young-looking, couples, the likes of Joe and Jane Mulholland and Don and Dot Smith are both celebrating their 64th year of wedded bliss and blisters? Congratulations, kids!

If you cross paths with any of the cele-

brators, give ‘em a big hug from all of us. Congratulations also to my son, PJ, and the luv of his life, Melissa. They met when they were working as summer help at Harpoon Hanna’s about 20 some years ago. Both were students at Maryland U at the time but had never crossed paths. How cool is that? Congratulations also to son Mike and his bride, Melissa.

Years ago before we had a garage door, the Kemps would do this funky freedom jig on the sidewalk the minute the last bus-size van was outta sight. That was until the day when we spun around and were confronted by a passel of kids in various stages of discontent staring out the windows of the departing van.

The parents claimed that they were a few miles down the road when they discovered that they were missin’ a kid and his binkie. Strange how they uncovered both within minutes after letting the kids out for a potty break.

I still have nightmares about the Kemps losing their place in the bay bridge two-hour wait line many, many years ago to go back and retrieve a raggy blanket at a gas station.

To this day, nary a soul has confessed to throwing it out the window or the tiny bathing trunks that are probably still hanging on a bush on Route 90 between Washington and Ellicott City. If those toddler size 4 Howdy Doody bathing trunks show up, please handle them with kid gloves so I can lift the prints.

Rabbi Warshaw discusses Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur RABBI SUSAN WARSHAW Temple Bat Yam (Aug. 30, 2013) For most Jews, the term “High Holy Days” is the title given to a period of 10 days that stretch between Rosh Hashanah, which means the first or “head” of the year, to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Both holidays have their basis in the Hebrew Bible (Leviticus 23:23S. Warshaw 32) although the name Rosh Hashanah was not used until significantly later in Jewish history.

Rosh Hashanah ushers in the Jewish New Year with a period of profound self-examination and repentance. It is a day of joyous celebration balanced against a humbling and solemn consideration of how well (or poorly) we have

used the gift of the previous year.

Tradition teaches us that God judges each of us individually and our community as a whole on Rosh Hashanah. Tradition also teaches that the result of God’s judgment will be a matter of life or death (either figurative or literal, depending on your theological orientation).

Our prayers, songs, and rituals focus on confessing the ways we have gone astray, asking forgiveness for the occasions on which we have missed the mark, and committing ourselves to acts of repentance (in Hebrew called t’shuvah). We go through this process collectively; the emphasis being on “we” rather than “I,” which reflects the importance of community in Judaism.

On Rosh Hashanah, listen for the sounding of the ram’s horn, the shofar, during the morning service. The sound of the shofar is a deeply moving call to renewed awareness and action. We eat

apples and honey for a sweet new year, and greet others with the words “shanah tovah,” a good year.

Yom Kippur begins in the evening 10 days later. Its mood is one of deep solemnity, contrition and humility. According to tradition, the judgments begun on Rosh Hashanah are sealed and finalized on Yom Kippur. Many Jews fast on Yom Kippur, and spend almost the entire day in the synagogue.

The observance ends with the setting of the sun. A final sounding of the shofar marks the end of this intensely spiritual day.

The heart of Yom Kippur observance is its liturgy. The opening, evening service centers on an ancient formula known as Kol Nidre. Kol Nidre is actually an ancient legal formula that absolves us of vows and oaths (between God and ourselves, but not be-

For a limited time we are holding open enrollment without risk. You must beat the deadline before enrollment ends.

tween ourselves and others) that we may take between this Yom Kippur and the next one. For many people, it is the music of Kol Nidre that is the most moving and powerful part of this service.

At the end of the day of Yom Kippur, a memorial service called Yizkor is observed. This service honors loved ones who have died. As Yom Kippur draws to a close, the observance concludes with the Neilah, or locking, service.

This is a final chance to repent before the symbolic gates of repentance are closed and locked to us.

There are many details that I have left out. If you would like to learn more about the holidays, please feel free to call me. Rabbi Susan Warshaw, Temple Bat Yam, 410-641-4311. May I be the first to wish each of you a happy new year. Shanah Tovah!

New Brew Pub offers 20 beers on tap Golden ale, copper ale and double IPA made inside First Street establishment

Lazy Lizard’s golden ale, copper ale and double IPA beers, and with the beer came the Lazy Lizard’s second restaurant.

“Brewing a craft brew and brew pubs kind of go together,” Odachowski ex-

plained, and when a property down the road from de Lazy Lizard Bar and Grill became available, the business moved in.

“It was the old Melvin’s Steakhouse, which was sort of a legacy of Ocean City,” See LIZARD on Page 20C

CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Aug. 30, 2013) There’s a new joint in town for craft beer fans.

De Lazy Lizard Brew Pub opened on First Street in July, bringing visitors 20 beers on tap, 50 bottled craft beers, and three in-house brews made in the brewery visible from the bar.

“The whole craft brew market, or opportunity, has just really exploded across the United States and it’s extremely hot in the Ocean City area,” owner Wayne Odachowski said.

Inspired by the success of local breweries like Berlin’s Burley Oak, Evolution Craft Brewing Company in Salisbury and Ocean City’s Shorebilly Brewing Company on the Boardwalk at 10th Street, Odachowski and de Lazy Lizard coowner Todd Hays began brainstorming brews.

They worked with longtime friend and brewer Rod Hillman to develop de

De Lazy Lizard Brew Pub on First Street has around 20 beers on tap, including three brews made in-house.

(Aug, 30, 2013) According to a news release issued by the National Association of Home Builders this past week, sales of newly built, singlefamily homes declined 13.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 394,000 units in July as higher mortgage rates prompted a temporary pause in buying activity. The NAHB announced its information according to newly released data from HUD and the U.S. Census Bureau.

“The drop-off in sales in July is in part a reflection of buyers’ reaction to the recent uptick in mortgage rates as people reassess their budgets to determine how much house they can afford,” said Rick Judson, chairman of the NAHB and a home builder from Charlotte, N.C. “New-home sales figures refer to newly signed contracts to purchase a home, rather than a completed sale, and it’s likely that the higher rates caused some buyers to delay putting pen to paper,” said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “However, there is still a great deal of pent-up demand for homes in markets nationwide, and builders continue to report improving consumer interest.

This suggests that what we’re seeing is a temporary pause, and that buyers will return to the market once they are confident that the higher mortgage rates are here to stay.”

Every region recorded lower new-home sales in July, with declines of 5.7 percent, 12.9 percent, 13.4 percent and 16.1 percent reported for the Northeast, Midwest, South and West, respectively.

In Worcester County, there are currently 120 new construction units active on the market for sale.

Over the past 12 months, we have had 51 new construction units sell (many of these units dated back to 2006-2008 for “year built” and are leftover condo inventory).

Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty recently announced it has obtained its brokerage license for the state of Maryland.

“We are excited to now offer real estate services to both buyers and sellers in Maryland,” stated Justin Healy, OASIR’s broker. “Beginning immediately, we are able to list and sell properties throughout the state.”

He noted prospective real estate clients in nearby Maryland cities and towns have contacted the brokerage often for real estate assistance and decided it was time to obtain the proper licensing in order to service this market.

“We have had quite a few calls over the years from Maryland clients who are interested in listing their homes under the Sotheby’s umbrella due to the regional, national, and international exposure and advertising reach,” Healy said.

“Four of our Realtors, Liz Barnhart, Anne

Powell, Jen Hughes and Kim Stockson, are currently licensed in Maryland and are now available to take listings and show homes,” added Healy. “The focus of our Maryland business will be on unique, luxury, and waterfront properties.”

“With the market heading in a very positive direction, our concentration continues to be on building a strong and professional team of real estate experts,” said Kathleen Schell, OA marketing director. “We feel that obtaining our Maryland brokerage license will be a benefit to many of our clients that own homes in both states and offer our Realtors the opportunity to have dual licenses with one brokerage.”

Lizard Brew Pub ‘steadily growing’ he said. “When we got ahold of the place, you felt like you were walking into the 70s, from the table clothes to the furniture to the décor.”

The Lazy Lizard crew set to work gutting all but the wooden floors in the first floor dining area of the restaurant. They added a small arcade section, a new bar and the brewery — a small, white room visible through glass from the bar.

The brewing gear arrived in May, and Hillman set to work creating the beers.

Each brew started with a test batch, which went through multiple taste tests.

Every new batch was tweaked until Hillman reached his final recipe — a two or three week process, Odachowski said.

He said he’s received “a ton of compliments” on the Lazy Lizard brews, with the golden ale especially popular in the Continued from Page 19C

summer months.

“We are continually brewing,” he said.

“People love it.”

The brewery has plans to expand its selection, with a caramel porter and pumpkin ale in the works for the colder months.

The menu at the brewpub varies some from de Lazy Lizard Bar and Grill down the street, with more focus on pub foods, Odachowski said.

Since its opening last month, “it’s been steadily growing,” he said. “What we find is sometimes people end up in the brewpub because they thought they were heading to the bar and grill, but were very happy that they stayed.”

De Lazy Lizard Brew Pub is open 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily with happy hour specials from 3-6 p.m. It will be open year round, Odachowski said.

Casino at Ocean Downs could break record this month ALEXANDER PYLES The Daily Record Newswire (Aug. 30, 2013) The Casino at Ocean Downs, the Eastern Shore gambling facility where revenue doubles during the summer tourist season, may be poised for a record-breaking month.

Casino General Manager Joe Cavilla on Thursday told the Maryland State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission the casino, off Route 589, is on pace to generate more than $6 million this month for the first time since opening in 2011.

“It’s panning out to be our best month ever,” Cavilla said.

Ocean Downs may set a record despite being the only Maryland casino that has not added table games such as black jack and roulette. The casino’s 800 slot machines generated about $5.8 million last month. The casino kept more than $2.5 million of that total and the Education Trust Fund received roughly $2.3 million.

Smaller disbursements were made to Worcester County and the horse racing industry.

Cavilla said the casino was seeking approval from Worcester County to roughly double the facility’s size. He said more slots would likely be part of that expansion, and table games were also being considered.

Ocean Downs is not the only Maryland casino upping its square footage.

Maryland Live Casino at Arundel Mills mall, the state gambling powerhouse in Hanover, plans to open a two-floor poker room on Wednesday, the latest in a seemingly nonstop series of expansions and renovations at the 14month-old facility.

The poker room will have 52 tables where poker games such as Texas Hold ’Em, Omaha and 7-Card Stud will be offered. Tournaments will also take place in the 14,800-square-foot addition to the 330,000-square-foot casino, which already has 122 table games and more than 4,300 slot machines.

The Anne Arundel County casino generated $52.4 million last month, nearly 600 percent more than the second-place casino in the state, Hollywood Casino Perryville in Cecil County.

Travis G. Lamb, Maryland Live’s senior vice president and chief financial officer, said the casino was already setting its sights on out-of-state customers, including by advertising in inflight airline magazines. The casino has taken a chunk of business away from former East Coast gambling stronghold Atlantic City, N.J., also, Lamb said.

“We see a lot of Atlantic City customers are coming to their convenience property option,” he said.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Continued from Page 20C past week, averaging $3.54/g Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,167 gas outlets in Maryland. This compares with the national average that has fallen 0.4 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.57/g, according to gasoline price Web site GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Maryland during the past week, prices yesterday were 15.6 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 13.5 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 9.5 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 16.6 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“As driving season works closes out, the national average has been remarkably quiet, so far, but that may change as gasoline inventories declined a sizable about last week,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Pe-

troleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “The Energy Information Administration in its weekly report issued last Wednesday highlighted one of the largest drops in gasoline inventories this year. That was likely a culprit for a late-week rally in gasoline futures and spot prices, which in turn may mean that as this week wears on, gasoline prices could start showing some upward movement. Any increases may be limited, however, by the impending end of summer driving season,” DeHaan said.

Work begins on Lifestyle Center The developers of Millville By The Sea announced this week that work has begun on its Lifestyle Center, a campus of coastal-style buildings that will house a community clubhouse, a pool and pool house, a fitness center and a pavilion all situated on a six-acre lake.

“We are so excited to be providing such a wonderful amenity to our homeowners at Millville By The Sea,” said Chuck Ellison, project manager and vice-president of Miller & Smith.

The 17,000 square-foot campus visible from the intersection of Route 17 and Burbage Road in Millville, Del., will boast a resort-style pool designed for all ages featuring a beach-entry, lap lanes, volleyball and basketball areas, splash zone features and a water walk.

The Lifestyle Center campus buildings will offer dozens of gathering spaces both inside and out including a large great room with a community kitchen, pub, game room, crab shack and outdoor grilling area, juice bar, fitness center, wellness studio and several verandas, decks and covered porches.

The clubhouse will open in early 2014 and the entire complex is expected to be complete during summer 2014.

More people expected to travel Tutti Frutti coming to Ocean City Square this Labor Day compared to‘12 (Aug. 30, 2013) AAA Mid-Atlantic is projecting more than 678,000 Marylanders will travel during the Labor Day holiday weekend, nearly a 3 percent increase compared to 2012. The figure represents the highest travel volume by Marylanders for the Labor Day holiday travel period since the recession ended in 2009.

The Labor Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, Aug. 29 to Monday, Sept. 2.

“After scaling back travel for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, Marylanders are planning to get away for the Labor Day holiday weekend,” said Ragina C. Averella, manager for Public and Government Affairs at AAA Mid-Atlantic. “While the overall financial picture remains mixed, economic indicators have improved from last year and have been trending upward during 2013. As a result, there appears to be pent-up demand by Marylanders to get away for the last summer holiday as many stayed put for the first two major summer holidays.”

All modes of transportation are forecasted to rise. As is typical with holiday travel, automobile remains the dominant mode of choice as 87 percent of Marylanders traveling will take to

the roads.

Maryland’s average cost for gasoline has been on a downward trend since peaking at $3.70 per gallon on July 23.

As of Monday, Aug. 26, Maryland gasoline is priced at an average of $3.54 per gallon, two cents lower than a week ago and 14 cents less than this date last month. Compared to last year, the price is 17 cents per gallon lower.

AAA Mid-Atlantic forecasts gas prices to remain steady heading into the holiday weekend. However, there remains the potential for late-summer hurricane activity that could disrupt oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and send gas prices rising, which occurred last year with the arrival of Hurricane Isaac.

Based on a survey of traveler intentions: · While Marylanders are primarily staying close to home, many have indicated plans for long-haul trips. Fifty-six percent intend to log between 50 and 400 miles round-trip compared to 43 percent in 2012, while 30 percent will travel between 701-1,500 miles roundtrip. Last year only 15 percent traveled between 701-1,500 miles round-trip. · The average distance traveled is expected to be 592 miles round-trip, a nearly 23 percent increase versus 2012,

(Aug. 30, 2013) Matthew Trader of Rinnier Development and Lisa Coleman of Long and Foster have recently executed a seven-year lease deal to bring Tutti Frutti to the Ocean City Square Shopping Center. The shopping center is located on 117th Street and Coastal Highway. Trader represented the tenant and Coleman represented the landlord.

The 1,800 square-foot space was formerly used as Long and Foster offices. Tutti Frutti will offer patrons an outside seating area on Coastal Highway as well as waterfront seating on the back deck by the bay, easily accessible for people traveling by foot or car.

“I am so excited to be able to help bring Tutti Frutti to the beach, specifically to this location. I feel the franchisee has a unique vision for every location and this one will be no different. Their goal is to provide cus-

which can primarily be attributed to the rise in Marylanders traveling between 701-1,500 miles round-trip. · The majority of the state’s travelers, 55 percent, intend to travel alone or with one other adult while 27 percent of respondents expect to travel with family, which is not surprising since Maryland children are back in school. By compar-

tomers with an experience beyond just frozen yogurt,” Trader said. “I think people are going to love the fact that they will be able to enjoy their yogurt while sitting by the bay. Tutti Frutti fans are going to be in for a real treat when this location opens, no pun intended.”

Rinnier Development Company owns, manages and/or has developed more than 2 million square feet of commercial and residential real estate and currently manages an investment portfolio of over 1.4 million square feet. Rinnier has provided quality service to the Mid-Atlantic community for more than 75 years with nationally recognized award winning communities.

Trader specializes in the sale and leasing of commercial properties. To contact him, call 443-614-4297, or email mtrader@rinnier.com. ison, travel with families ranked higher for the July 4 holiday at 36 percent. · Median spending is expected to be $946, which is 14 percent higher than last year. · Dining (59 percent), visiting friends and relatives (48 percent), and shopping (35 percent) were named as the top three primary activities.
