Sunfest had more than 300 arts, crafts and food vendors, live music, hayrides on the beach and an array of food to sample.

“It was a beautiful weekend. Attendance was great. Concerts sold,” said department Special Events Coordinator Brenda Moore.

(Sept. 27, 2013) Police are still asking for help in the investigation of the hit and run collision on Sept. 20 in West Ocean City that killed a resort businessman.

Jerold Lee Sharoff, 58, of West Ocean City, was crossing eastbound Route 50 near Elm Street at approximately 10:09 p.m. when he was struck by a full-sized red Ford pickup truck. The collision occurred in the left lane of eastbound Route 50 directly in front of Starbuck’s Coffee and Outback Steakhouse.

Sharoff, who had reportedly been at Ahavat Shalom Synagogue on Elm Street, was taken to Atlantic General Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Witnesses to the collision lost sight of the truck as it continued east on Route 50.

Maryland State Police said the truck sustained damage to the driver’s side front fender, bumper and headlight region. It is missing a clear thin headlight lens and an amber marker light lens.

Investigators are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the truck. State troopers and members of the Ocean City Police Department are using several methods of technology to identify the vehicle and driver on or about the time of the collision.

Excellent weather brought the crowds to Sunfest last week, when food and entertainment was the dominating theme of the annual four-day event.

Sunfestapalooza: a truly big one Annual end-of-season festival tops five-year average crowd by more than 10,000 (Sept. 27, 2013) The 39th Annual Sunfest scored big last weekend, drawing the largest crowd since 2008 and topping the average attendance by more than 10,000 people.

The four-day festival at the inlet parking lot greeted a crowd of more than 186,775 between last Thursday

Not only was the crowd total up slightly from last year’s pull of 185,016, it was the largest attendance since 2008 and well above the festival’s fiveyear average of 175,299 attendees.

“I am extremely pleased to report that we had a very successful Sunfest,” said Tom Shuster, director of Ocean City’s Recreation and Parks Department. “We had outstanding vendors,

Pursel: one of busiest Sunfests I’ve seen in a long, long time It was “one of the busiest Sunfests I’ve seen in a long, long time,” Ocean City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Melanie Pursel said.

The headliner acts were a major draw, with Kip Moore and Kacey Musgraves and The Beach Boys playing sold-out concerts to 1,750-person crowds Friday and Saturday. Jesse Garon’s tribute to Elvis Thursday night drew an audience of 1,367 and other live music played throughout the weekend.

“The music brings in the people,” said Michelle Bender of Dixie Bags, a Virginia business selling tapestry and embroidered handbags and accessories.

Sunfest 2013 was “not our best year ever, but amongst the top,” said the festival’s seven-year veteran. “It’s a great show and we love going to it. It’s a profitable show, but it’s also very enjoyable.”

Some vendors complained that the music hampered their business, however.

“It’s very hard to do business with the music being that overbearing,” said Beverly Myers of New York-based Rob & Staff LLC, which sells canes and walking sticks. Sometimes two bands

played simultaneously, making it hard to communicate with customers, she said.

“We don’t really have any business after 8 o’clock at night after the concert starts,” Myers added.

In terms of business, the eight-year Sunfest veteran said “it was okay,” but “wasn’t up.” Many customers come year after year and don’t need to keep buying new walking sticks, she said.

But Myers dubbed the Sunfest overall “pretty good,” citing good weather for drawing the crowds.

Sunfest firsttimer Igor Nasibyan of Pennsylvania-based Silhouettes said, “It’s more an entertainment crowd” at Sunfest. He did not do the business he expected at creating paper silhouettes of customers, but noted “a lot of people did good business.”

Ben May of Ben May Clay handmade pottery from Westminster, Md. said Sunfest 2013 “went absolutely wonderful” for his business and sales were “definitely up from last year.”

A four-time Sunfest vendor, May said he made more large sales than in past years.

“The band, The Beach Boys, just drew the right type of crowd,” he said, and “the weather was beautiful.”

Hit-and-run victim owned T-shirt shop on OC Boardwalk are being identified and contacted to ascertain if they witnessed any unusual driving behavior of vehicles in and around Ocean City and West Ocean City.

Troopers are specifically requesting anyone who was in the area at the time of the collision and who noticed anything unusual or are aware of the whereabouts of the red truck to contact Maryland State Police at the Berlin barrack at 410-641-3101.

Sharoff, who operated Beachwear Outlet and Surf Beachwear on the Boardwalk, had been indicted in January for conspiring and trafficking in counterfeit goods and counterfeit labels.

The indictment alleges that he sold counterfeit trademarked merchandise in 2011. He also allegedly stored counterfeit goods at a warehouse in West Ocean City, according to the indictment.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland, that indictment also alleged that Sharoff and his coconspirators manufactured T-shirts by applying heat transfers bearing counterfeit trademarks to T-shirts using heat presses. He was scheduled to go to trial Oct. 21.

In 2000, Sharoff was charged, but not prosecuted for counterfeiting a trademark.

New laws including gun-control regulations go into effect Oct. 1 Buckle up and put down cell phones while driving; if not, could lead to fines NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Reading a text message or talking on a hand-held cell phone while driving could lead to a fine for drivers starting Tuesday, Oct. 1. Also that day, several other new laws, including sweeping gun-control regulations, go into effect.

On Oct. 1, Maryland police will be able to stop drivers for hand-held cell phone use and all passengers in a motor vehicle will be required to wear a seat belt. Fines for first-time cell phone use violators will increase from $40 to $75 and passengers who are not buckled up could face an increase in fines from $25 to $50.

Under existing law, police could cite a driver for hand-held cell phone use only if the driver was stopped for some other traffic violation, such as speeding. Starting Tuesday, use of a hand-held cell phone while driving will be considered a primary offense and fines will increase for each offense. No points will be assessed to a driver’s license unless the violation contributes to a crash.

“Distracted driving because of cell

phone use and texting is one of the leading causes of motor vehicle collisions,” Ocean City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro said. “According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 11 percent of fatal auto accidents and 17 percent of ‘injury crashes’ in 2011 have cited distracted driving as a contributing factor. Drivers should always remember to park the phone before driving.”

Ragina C. Averella, manager of Public and Government Affairs at AAA Mid-Atlantic, said that she was glad that state legislators pushed for the handheld cell phone ban this year after failing to pass it last year.

“We are pleased that the Maryland General Assembly recognized the importance of strengthening the handheld cell phone ban, as it will now serve as a real deterrent to motorists and enable police to better enforce the existing law. This measure will help stem the epidemic of distracted drivers in Maryland,” Averella said.

According to preliminary Maryland motor vehicle crash data for 2012, approximately 52,136, or 58 percent, of the 89,655 vehicle crashes involved a distracted driver, according to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration’s Highway Safety Office.

Nearly half, 246, of the estimated 511 fatalities on the state’s road last year were due to a distracted driver. Approximately 28,515, or 64 percent, of the es-

timated 44,027 injuries statewide were the result of crashes involving a distracted driver.

Parking the phone and not being a distracted driver is not the only simple thing that can protect safety on the roads. Wearing a seatbelt is an essential choice a citizen can make while in a vehicle.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2011, seat belts saved an estimated 11,949 lives nationwide. This includes back seat passengers, not just those in the front seat.

Buckling a seatbelt or staying off cell phones are two of the simplest things that can be done to prevent a vehicle collision.

The new gun control law, the Firearm Safety Act of 2013, requires people to have specific safety training, including

the actual firing of a gun, before they may purchase a firearm. Handgun magazines will be limited to 10 rounds and gun buyers must submit their fingerprints and obtain a handgun license before their purchase.

Other laws going into effect in Maryland on Tuesday include the repeal of the death penalty and the legalization of medical marijuana, which may be distributed to qualified academic medical centers.

Gov. Martin O’Malley appointed 11 members of the Medical Marijuana Commission, which is authorized to permit the centers to begin programs making marijuana available to specific groups of patients.

Police in Worcester County and elsewhere will enforce the new legislation changes beginning Oct.1.

Before the recovery planning can begin, Theobald will seek the City Council’s approval of the revised Emergency Operations Plan. Later this fall, he anticipates putting out communications to members of the business community for their participation.

Although he said it is too early to know how many participants will be needed, he expects to seek representatives of various sectors of the community for what he said will be “a very comprehensive recovery plan.” Work on the recovery plan could take several months.

Additional information provided during the event included the Small Business Administration declaration process, because most businesses would be covered under that program if a disaster declaration is received.

Resort employers may see workers leave company health plans Lower-earning employees could be better off on state exchange given subsidies ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Even though the Obamacare mandate for larger companies has been pushed back until 2015, the insurance landscape will undergo a drastic change next week when subsidized health insurance exchanges open in most states, including Maryland.

At a Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce seminar last week, local insurer Chris Carroll of Atlantic/Smith, Cropper & Deeley told local business

owners that federally regulated health insurance exchanges will likely present a better option for lower-earning resort workers.

“The bottom line is that it’s going to be very hard to keep people under 200 percent of the poverty line in your group plan,” Carroll said.

This prediction mimics recent national news. Large chain employers such as Home Depot and Trader Joe’s have announced in the past weeks that parttime and temporary employees – those for which they are not federally required to provide insurance– will have their company-sponsored policies eliminated and will instead be given a stipend to purchase insurance through the exchange.

Under the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, each state

ATLANTIC DENTAL COSMETIC & FAMILY DENTISTRY Thee Gina Renee Piazza • 12308 Ocean Gateway, Suite 6 Ocean City, Maryland, 21842

is mandated to set up a group health exchange whereby subscribers can pool their purchasing power and acquire reasonable rates from insurance providers.

The cost to subscribers is subsidized by the federal government at different tiers, depending on income, with those making up to 400 percent of the current poverty level receiving some assistance.

Past that, exchange insurance rates are unsubsidized.

Those making only the poverty line, or slightly above, will be enrolled in Medicare. In Maryland, this ceiling is 138 percent of poverty.

Under the ACA, only employers with 50 or more employees must have an insurance plan for their workers.

Even then, large employers are only required to actually insure those who work an average of 30 hours per week or more.

However, many companies offer insurance programs to part-time or temporary workers, especially given the tax favorability of such contributions as part of the employee’s overall compensation package. This is especially common in seasonal businesses, such as in the resort area.

But, with the strong subsidies on the exchanges, which will open up for 2014 enrollment next week, it may be more attractive for many of these employees to

purchase their insurance off the exchange.

This could present a problem for the viability of the employer’s health plan, Carroll noted, as most insurers require a certain level of plan participation.

“As an employer, you’re going to have to budget much more effectively,” he said.

In an attempt to level the playing field, the ACA restricts individual variances in health care costs. Insurers can no longer assign individual rates to employees based on their health or risk.

“They’re not going to allow you to give variability down to the employee,” Carroll said. “It’s why a lot of you are getting pressure to early renew, because your insurance provider is trying to delay the impact by calculating next year’s rates before the law goes into effect.”

Employers will also not be allowed to contribute a flat rate toward an employee’s insurance regardless of the total premium. Instead, they must pay a percentage.

These factors, generally speaking, put employers in the position of subsidizing those with higher health costs and putting more of a burden on those with lower costs.

“We’re going to see more averaging of the rates,” Carroll said. “If you were on the lower end before, you’re not going to See OBAMACARE on Page 9A

Given that many of the resort’s employees are young and single, and thus have low premiums, they may be further driven to take insurance off the exchange rather than from their employer. Even on the exchange, however, the differential between age groups is capped at 300 percent.

“That means if a 22 year old is paying $100 for his insurance plan, an 85 year old with the same income can’t pay more than $300,” Carroll said.

The ACA mandates that state health exchanges offer “metal level” plans, with “platinum” coverage being the most expensive and best, and “bronze” coverage being the cheapest.

However, the federal government, fearing that young people would be unsatisfied with the offerings, introduced a “catastrophic coverage” option for anyone under 30. This is an extremely highdeductible plan with an extremely low premium.

“This is how they’re planning to draw the ‘young and invincible’ over to the exchanges,” Carroll said.

Oglesby said the process had begun for Delaware to extradite Burton, but it is “paperwork intensive,” and so he asked for a delay.

Katy C. O’Donnell, who is one of two attorneys with the Office of the Public Defender Aggravated Homicide Division representing Burton, objected to the extension and asked Judge Gerald Purnell to release Burton. Purnell quickly granted Oglesby’s request.

and other crimes in Maryland after Bennett’s body was found in a ditch embankment on Swamp Road in Worcester County, about six miles from the Gumboro, Del., church where they both worked.

DNA reportedly linked Burton, a convicted sex offender, to the murder and he was arrested near Rehoboth on July 6, 2012.

As the investigation continued, detectives learned Bennett had been killed in Delaware.

Because of that finding, Oglesby dropped all charges against Burton on Aug. 12.

Charges were then filed against Burton in Delaware.

POLICE BRIEFS

Man charged with scooter theft

A 22-year-old Laurel, Del., man was charged Sept. 21 with unlawful taking of a motor vehicle after allegedly driving off in a scooter he did not own.

According to Ocean City police, an employee of Continental Cycle at 7203 Coastal Highway noticed that a scooter was missing from the Treyon Parker back of the property where it should have been. That employee found the missing scooter, draped with a white covering, behind a 75th Street unit.

A witness reportedly told police that he saw a man later identified as Treyon Miles Parker driving the scooter and then parking it and putting a sheet over it.

Parker told police he did not take the scooter, but later, he reportedly admitted taking it. He also said he put the license plate in a trash container and that the keys were in a friend’s apartment, according to police.

A search of Parker after his arrest revealed two Xanax tablets.

Police charged Parker with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle and theft of an item valued at $1,000 to less than $10,000.

Drugs and weapon found on Page

Ocean City police arrested Comar Antwan Page, 38, of Harrington, Del., after reportedly finding marijuana and a butterfly knife on him during a consent search.

After arresting Page and taking him to police headquarters, a public safety aide found a bag containing cocaine in Page’s wallet.

Page was the passenger in a vehicle police stopped downtown on Baltimore Avenue because he was not wearing a seatbelt.

Police charged Page with having a concealed dangerous weapon, possession of a martial arts weapon, possession of marijuana and possession of cocaine.

Alleged theft by pizza shop employee An employee of Marco Polo Pizza was arrested Sept. 20 after allegedly stealing money from the eatery’s cash register and driving off in the pizza delivery truck, which he did not have permission to drive.

According to Ocean City police, a video surveillance camera captured Jimmy Joe Davis Lake, 36, of Ocean City, removing cash from the register.

The video also showed another person

throw an object to Lake when he was in the parking lot. That object turned out to be a set of keys to the delivery truck.

Later, Lake sent the pizzeria owner a text message apologizing and says he would make things right. He texted that he had gotten into a crash in Delaware and that the truck was in the impound lot near the Ocean City Police Department.

The truck was not in the impound lot, however, and it was entered into the national crime database as a stolen vehicle.

Police charged Lake with unlawful taking of a motor vehicle and theft of less than $1,000. The amount he reportedly stole from the cash register was determined to be $351.

Pennsylvania woman charged with assault A 22-year-old Pennsylvania woman was charged with second-degree assault after allegedly trying to strangle a man.

According to Ocean City police, Jacqueline Alicia Kosluk of Folcroft and the man were staying with their family in a unit for a weekend. During an argument about taxes, Kosluk allegedly strangled him, leaving him with two 1inch-long bleeding cuts on the left side of his neck and several scratches and bruises.

American Legion Post #166 in OC collecting items for troops Pretzels, sun block, body wash and deodorant are a few things being sought CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) The American Legion Synepuxent Post #166 will start collecting items for military troops Oct. 1 at locations in Ocean City, West Ocean City, Ocean Pines and Berlin.

Post #166 member Sarge Garlitz and his wife, Rosie, will box and mail the donations in December, just in time for Christmas, to those on military tours. The packages come with a personal twist, since Gartliz has personal contact with the recipients, their families or their military superiors.

“We personalize these,” said the volunteer, who adds everything from properly sized clothing to cards, copies of local newspapers and T-shirts from shops around town to the parcels.

Post #166 has been running the program for about eight years, he said, and sent approximately 55 packages to 28 soldiers last year.

“One guy might get two or three boxes just to himself,” Garlitz explained.

The idea for the care packages came when several locals serving in the military needed items they couldn’t get abroad, he said.

“A lot of them, I know… and some of these guys are on their third tour in the last eight years,” Garlitz said.

The packages also go to soldiers who don’t get a lot of other mail, he said.

Garlitz maintains contact with ser-

Briefings held on proposed chicken manure limit regs.

NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Farmers and other interested persons are invited to public briefings being held by the Maryland Department of Agriculture on its proposed regulations limiting the use of chicken manure as fertilizer.

During the briefings, the MDA will explain the latest revised regulations and the process that led to their development.

MDA personnel will also discuss resources available to farmers to help them manage the impact of the regulations and will answer questions.

The briefings are being held to inform farmers and others of the new proposal before the 30-day public comment period, which begins with publication in the Maryland Register, which is anticipated for Oct. 18.

Worcester County officials have been concerned about the proposed limit of chicken manure because of its detrimental effect on farming and the economy. If farmers cannot use chicken manure on their fields, they would be hurt financially and that in turn would hurt the county financially.

During the Worcester County Commissioners’ Sept. 3 meeting, Commissioner Virgil Shockley, a chicken farmer, said the biggest problem with the proposed regulation is that some chicken growers do not have any land or enough land to use as a place to put the chicken manure after they remove it from their chicken houses. Those farmers might be unable to find suitable land elsewhere for the manure.

If they cannot rid the chicken houses of the manure inside, they could not get a new flock of chicks and their livelihood would be in jeopardy.

The commissioners sent an Aug. 21 letter to the MDA and state elected officials about their opposition to the proposal.

The Maryland General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review in Annapolis scheduled the proposed regulation as emergency legislation for an Aug. 28 hearing. Widespread concerns, such as those of the Worcester County Commissioners led to its postponement.

Following that postponement, the MDA scheduled the public briefings to educate stakeholders about the proposal.

The first briefing was scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 25, in Walkersville.

The second meeting is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, in the Flanders meeting room at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center in Salisbury. The third briefing is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, at the Talbot County Community Center in Easton.

City renews ad contract by default after notice deadline passes Agency had to be notified of potential re-bid at least 120 days before year-end ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Despite some question last week about the status of its marketing contract with MGH Advertising, Ocean City government will extend its agreement with the firm for

another year.

The City Council’s decision is an apparent about-face from its position last year, when a divided council argued about whether other providers ought to be considered.

“Per the contract, the agreement has been renewed automatically for an additional one-year period as neither party (MGH or the Town of Ocean City) has given the required 120 day notice to terminate the contract,” Ocean City Communications Manager Jessica Waters said in an email.

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

That agreement carried a guaranteed two years’ work, with a clause that further automatically extends the contract for each year for an additional year unless either party gives 120 days’

notice that they intend to terminate the agreement. The expiration date of the contract is Dec. 31 of each year, making the end of August the decision time.

“No one approached me about it, and to be honest I didn’t even think about it,” said MHG President Andy Malis. “If it’s extended, that’s great. If they [the city] put it up to bid again, that’s their call.”

If the city were to give MGH notice that it planned to opt out, it would then need to assemble a new bid specifica-

Decision a reversal from political dispute over marketing last year After 2012 debate, council urged by advisory board to spend year on re-issuance tion and issue a request for proposals (RFP), which would likely generate responses from MGH as well as other firms. The city would then select a contractor, which could be MGH or another firm.

At last week’s council session, Councilman Brent Ashley asked if there had been any consideration given this year to issuing a new RFP. “Their contract expires at the end of December 2014, as I understand it,” said Council Secretary and Tourism Commission Chair Mary Knight. City

Continued from Page 17A

Manager David Recor concurred.

“I thought we extended it for one year, last year,” Ashley said.

“We should check on that, because Donna Abbot, our tourism director, had different information,” Knight said.

In August 2012, council voted 4-to3 to give MGH notice and re-bid the contract before the end of the year.

However, that decision was reversed, and the contract extended, after the city’s Tourism Advisory Board submitted that the resort’s stakeholders would not have enough time to comment and make a decision before the December expiration.

Although a non-binding body, TAB’s recommendation at the time was “to keep Andy’s contract for another year, but start the RFP process now and have a whole year to do it.” The council ap-

proved the recommendation with only Ashley and former Councilman Joe Hall in objection, preferring to go to bid immediately.

But as Ashley pointed out last week, the current council had never made another decision in the current year to extend or decline the contract.

“If we last voted to extend it for a year in 2012, it should be good to the end of 2013, not 2014,” he said.

Given that the city was obligated to give MGH notice a month ago in order to opt out, the contract will now be good through the end of 2014 by default. At what point the idea to go back to bid was abandoned, however, is not clear.

“In recent meetings with TAB, there has been no discussion about beginning the RFP process,” Waters said. “In

fact, the discussions regarding tourism in the recent TAB meetings have been favorable. The issue to go to RFP has not been revisited by TAB or the current council at this time.”

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

Hall – before he lost his re-election in 2012 – frequently criticized the direction of the city’s marketing and maintained that City Hall had too much political investment in MGH’s success to be able to make a fair decision on its employment.

“Every time there’s a challenge coming up, we have to postpone because we can’t handle it,” Hall said last September. “If it’s not the right time [now], there’ s just going to be a conversation next September that that’s not the right time either.”

Roughly $4 million of the city’s annual spending on advertising and public relations comes under the purview of MGH. The vast majority of that money is spent on purchasing media space, with the agency’s direct fee being $22,958 per month.

Farm to School Week brings local foods to county students Schools source food from area growers year-round, although season short CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Worcester Country joined in the statewide Farm to School Week this week, dishing up local fruits or vegetables in school lunches every day.

The program isn’t unique to the week, though, as the schools try to source local foods throughout the growing season, coordinator of Food Services for Worcester County Schools Scott Blackburn said.

“We’ve been pretty aggressive on trying to order foods from local farmers,” he said.

The program started about five years ago with a two-fold goal: “to help promote healthier foods and giving local people business,” Blackburn said.

The county has used two local farmers for the program, though only one participated this year. To make up the loss, the schools partnered with an Easton produce provider that sources “as much local as they can,” Blackburn said.

This week’s locally grown menu in-

Be s t Vo te d O C’s K id s St o re

cluded watermelon, corn, apples, tomatoes and a roasted squash medley using yellow squash, zucchini and butternut squash and onions.

However, as the fall wears on, local produce become less available.

“It’s easier to produce in the summer,” when school is out, said Berlin-area farmer Harry Wimbrow, who provided watermelon and sweet corn last year.

“The items that they wanted are almost out of seasons once they want them.”

The schools will use sweet potatoes in dishes once each week or two during October, but Blackburn agreed, “once December hits, it’s pretty much exhausted as far as local, local produce.”

Another challenge is finding GAP — Good Agricultural Practices — approved farms. The USDA grades those farms, ensuring they meet certain criteria.

“It’s a safeguard for us,” Blackburn said, but “that limits, again, the number of farmers because it’s expensive… for the farmers to become GAP approved.”

Despite those pitfalls, the program has “grown tremendous” compared with his original expectations, Blackburn said.

“We’re just trying to work with the local people and provide… good-quality, fresh produce to our schools as much as possible,” Blackburn said.

(Sept. 27, 2013) In a continuing effort to adapt to new state standards and the increasing demand of technology, the Worcester County Board of Education has approved the hiring of Dr. John Quinn as the new Chief Academic Officer for the county’s school system.

“With experiences and successes, which complement our strategic direction, John Quinn brings invaluable expertise which will help us reach our new trajectory as a world-class system,” Worcester Superintendant of Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson said in a press release.

Quinn will serve as a replacement for Dr. John Gaddis, who left to become the Superintendant of the Somerset County school system after serving for many years as Worcester’s Assistant Superintendant for Instruction.

Despite the change in nomenclature, Quinn’s role will be fundamentally similar, although with “a greater emphasis on results and closing achievement gaps,” said Barbara Witherow, Coordinator of Public Relations for Worcester County schools.

In his new position, Quinn will oversee the standards of instruction and curriculum content for the county school system, a purview that will be undergoing immense changes in the coming months and years as Maryland, and most states throughout the nation, move to adopt the Common Core standards system and associated methods of testing and assessment.

Coming to Worcester from the Howard County school system, Quinn began his career as a science teacher and went on to hold a number of administrative positions, including Associate Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, Principal, Coordinator of Secondary Science, and Executive Director of STEM. An acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, STEM teaching is one of the major focal points of education reform nationwide.

“John’s extensive work involving the implementation of the Common Core and curricula development, the formation of STEM coalitions, initiatives, and pathways, and the conversion to digital environments that promote opportunities for blended, virtual, and online learning, will serve our students and staff extremely well,” Wilson said.

“As a nation, we have a shortage of workers with the skill sets required for STEM careers,” Quinn said in a statement. “It is incumbent of us, therefore, to inspire and prepare our students – at an early age, from kindergarten to graduation – for multiple STEM pathways. I am passionate about STEM, both from an instructional and community standpoint.”

The current 2013-2014 school year will be the first for full implementation of Maryland’s Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) system for school assessments, a program that was developed to replace the No Child Left Behind standards from which the state opted out.

Among other things, the AMO system tasks each school with halving, by 2017, the number of students in any given subcategory who do not demonstrate adequate proficiency on the Maryland State Assessment (MSA). These subcategories include income level, race, and other divisions.

“Although Worcester is consistently high-performing, we are like schools across the state and nation,” Witherow said. “There are still gaps between the lowest-performing subsets and highestperforming subsets.”

However, the MSA testing system itself is set to be phased out next school year.

This year, Witherow noted, 25 students in each county school will be taking a trial version of the new assessments developed by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers (PARCC).

The PARCC assessment, which is primarily an online test, is the main measurement tool for the Common Core curriculum, and is slated to be implemented for 2014-2015. The county reSee EXPERTISE on Page 21A

Expertise in STEM will help transition to Common Core cently approved the purchase of 240 new computers for area schools, Witherow said, which will be used for a number of purposes but will also be integral to the mass administration of the PARCC tests.

“Most students already use a host of digital tools to instantly access information, so asking students to use these devices as research tools at home or in their classrooms isn’t a significant culture change,” Quinn said.

But he also stressed the coming importance of the “flipped classroom” teaching model to achieve results with STEM curricula. In such a teaching method, students view lectures and instruction at home, on the computer, and use in-class time for doing applied assignments. This is a reversal of the typical classroom lecture and problems done as homework.

“What is a significant shift is that the ‘flipped classroom’ enables teachers to facilitate a richer, deeper caliber of learning,” Quinn said. “At the same time, the use of technology helps students – who might otherwise struggle with a traditional classroom setting – to make strong connections with the material they are learning.”

Quinn earned a Doctorate in Education Policy and Leadership from the University of Maryland, College Park. He earned a Masters in Science from Johns Hopkins in the area of Technology for Educators and earned his secondary science teaching certificate from Penn State. Quinn’s undergraduate degree was a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Resource Management from Penn State.

Quinn currently resides in Delaware with his wife Lorraine, a retired educator from Howard County. He has two children. His first day in Worcester will be Oct. 7.

State’s highest court sends OC Chamber case back to county MD appeals court remands Barufaldi’s suit for breach of contract against CoC NANCY POWELL Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) A civil case pitting the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce against a former executive director seeking fees continues to make its way through the court system.

On Tuesday, the Maryland Court of Appeals filed its opinion sending the case back to Circuit Court in Snow Hill for further consideration.

The chamber hired Daniel Barufaldi as its executive director in the fall of 2005. Two months after he started work, a backdated employment agreement about his compensation was executed.

The agreement stipulated that for three years, he would receive an annual base salary of $52,000, supplemented by incentive compensation. This incentive-based compensation was to be computed as a percentage of the chamber’s net revenue, as calculated each quarter, above a baseline figure to be set by the two parties within the two months after execution of the agreement. The chamber and Barufaldi, however, did not agree to a baseline amount at all.

On Oct. 31, 2006, the chamber proposed a new employment agreement that did not include incentive-based compensation, but did include a clause that allowed the chamber to fire him without cause on 30 days’ notice.

During the trial, the chamber asserted that Barufaldi asked for that contract and was agreeable to its terms.

Barufaldi, however, maintained that the chamber had no intention of paying him incentive-based compensation as noted in the original agreement and tried to force him to accept the new contract without that compensation.

Barufaldi did not execute that sec-

ond contract and he resigned from the chamber’s employment Jan. 23, 2007 and took a position with a chamber of commerce in Charles County. On April 3, 2008, he filed a lawsuit in Circuit Court in Worcester County against the chamber and six former board members. The lawsuit alleged breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and violation of the wage payment and collection law.

In its counterclaim, the chamber alleged that Barufaldi breached the contract by failing to perform his duties, by seeking employment elsewhere during his contract period and by resigning before the end of his three-year employment term.

On April 15-17, a jury trial was held in Circuit Court in Snow Hill. At the beginning of the case, Barufaldi dismissed his negligent misrepresentation claim and his claim against four of the individual board members. At the conclusion of his case, the court dismissed his claims against the two remaining board members and at the conclusion of the entire case, the court dismissed the chamber’s counterclaim.

The jury’s verdict was in Barufaldi’s favor on the breach of contract claim and the claim under the wage payment and collection law. It found that the chamber owed Barufaldi $60,000 in damages, but also found no bona fide dispute regarding the unpaid compensation. On April 20, the court entered a judgment of $60,000 against the chamber.

Barufaldi then filed for an award of attorney’s fees and costs under the wage payment and collection law, seeking $141,523.50 in attorneys’ fees and $18,752.47 in costs. The chamber opposed the request.

The Circuit Court denied Barufaldi’s motion and both parties appealed. The chamber borrowed $60,000 and paid it into the court registry.

The Court of Special Appeals affirmed the judgment, but vacated the denial of the motion for attorneys’ fees See PLAINTIFF on Page 23A

OCPD lieutenant graduates from FBI National Academy

Waterline flushing scheduled for OP area starting Oct. 7

(Sept. 27, 2013) Ocean City Police Department Lt. Ray Austin graduated on Friday, Sept. 20, from the FBI National Academy Program at Quantico, Va. Lt. Austin was among more than 200 law enforcement officers from across the country at the academy, a selective program in which participants must have proven records as professionals within their agency.

He began the internationally recognized program in July. His time during the National Academy Program consisted of 10 weeks of training, including topics on health and fitness, advanced criminal investigation and leadership development.

“It is no surprise to me that Lieutenant Austin was selected for this prestigious program,” OCPD Chief Ross Buzzuro said. “Graduates from the FBI Academy typically return to their agencies to serve as leaders of their departments in command level positions. Ray has been a leader and a great example of a police officer for years.”

“His recent training at the FBI Academy will not only be a great experience

OCEAN PINES—The Water and Wastewater Division of Public Works will begin its semi-annual flushing program in Ocean Pines and other areas of the county during October.

The purpose of this program is to remove any accumulated sediment from the lines and to ensure that hydrants are operational. Below are the proposed dates for the flushing of the waterlines, though dates are subject to change.

Week of October 7 - Sections 2, 3, 7, River Run, and Showell Elementary Week of October 14 - Sections 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, and Harbor Village Week of October 21 - Sections 12, 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, and Mumfords Landing Week of October 28 - Sections 9, 11, 13, Village Square, Manklin Creek area, Pennington Commons, and Cathell Road Extension Week of November 4 - Sections 10, 15a, 15b, 16, 17 and Bay Point Plantation Even on dates the water lines in your section are not being flushed it is possible to experience discolored water. If you notice that your water becomes cloudy during these times, allow the water to run for a few minutes until it becomes clear.

For more information, call the Water and Wastewater Division at 410-641-5251.

Plaintiff says group acted in bad faith with pay agreement and costs and remanded the case back to Circuit Court.

Barufaldi then filed a supplemental motion seeking an additional $41,770.50 in fees and $11,125.86 in costs incurred in litigating the appeal and preparing the new motion. The chamber opposed.

On March 25, the trial court denied Barufaldi’s second request for fees. The court ruled that the chamber had not acted in bad faith and an award might jeopardize the chamber’s existence.

Barufaldi appealed this second denial of his motion for a fee award and the Court of Special Appeals again reversed the denial of his motion, in part because a defendant’s ability to pay a fee award should not be considered. The chamber argued that the trial court properly considered its ability to pay Barufaldi’s requested fees.

The case then went to the Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, which affirmed the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals and remanded the case back to Circuit Court for further consideration of Barufaldi’s motion.

The court’s published opinion, filed Sept. 24, states that if the Circuit Court finds there is no good reason to deny an award, it should proceed to determine an appropriate award.

for him but ultimately for the officers who work for him who will also benefit from his guidance,” Buzzuro said.

Lt. Austin is the assistant commander for the Criminal Investigation Division.

He was hired by OCPD in July 1994. He was promoted to private first class in 1998, sergeant in 2003, and lieutenant in 2010. He has worked in the department’s Patrol Division and Criminal Investigation Division, where he has served as a detective in both General Assignment and Narcotics Units. He was also a member of the Traffic Safety Unit while he was in the Patrol Division.

In addition to his supervisor responsibilities, Lt. Austin is also a certified police trainer and has taught drug identification to seasonal officers during past seasonal academies.

(Sept. 27, 2013) Assateague Island National Seashore’s press release about a new business opportunity alarmed and saddened some people who believed the island might become commercialized.

As it turns out, they are worrying needlessly, despite the Facebook postings of national park fans, who lamented the news online.

“This is HORRIBLE news,” read one post. “The greatest beauty of Assateague is that it’s so completely devoid of human structures and businesses.”

“Great. Now we are going to ruin Assateague,” read another post. “Can nothing be sacred?”

At least two Facebook fans wrote that they did not want Assateague to be turned into “another Ocean City.”

According to the Sept. 24 news release, the National Park Service intends to issue a prospectus “for a new business opportunity” at the national park within the next 30 days. That prospectus will solicit proposals to provide equipment rentals, food and beverages, merchandise and other services at the national park in Maryland.

The proposal, however, is not for new business opportunities, but for the two privately run concessions that are already at the national park. One rents canoes, kayaks, standup paddleboards and bikes. The other operates a small store that sells and rents beach accessories such as beach chairs, sunscreen and insect repellent. It also sells firewood, water, ice cream and other small items.

The national park posted the information about those two businesses in response to the numerous posts from people concerned that it might become commercialized.

The contracts of those two concessions are expiring and will be going out to bid. Interested persons may submit businesses proposals after the prospectus is released in early October. When it is released, it will be synopsized and posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website, www.fbo.gov, and on the National Park Service Web site, http://cs.inside.nps.gov/Pages/CommercialServices.aspx.

Gun buyers playing beat the clock Gun dealers feel boom as new law nears, but know bust cycle on the way ZACK HOOPES Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Next Tuesday, what may be the most dramatic boom-bust cycle in the history of Maryland will run to completion.

No, it’s not real estate, although the resort area in particular is still continuing its slow recovery from the circa2008 market collapse. Instead, Oct. 1 will mark the end of the legislatively induced rush on firearms and the beginning of heavy restrictions on pistols and what the state has deemed “assault weapons.”

“It’s been indescribable,” said David Littleton of Littleton’s Firearms in Bishopville. “We just sold five years’ worth of assault rifles and handguns in the last eight months. Now there’s no market for it.”

“Everyone bought one, even if they didn’t want one,” Littleton said, “because they knew you weren’t going to be allowed to get them later.”

Over the winter, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and his supporters in the state legislature passed a controversial overhaul of the state’s firearms laws. Officially dubbed the Maryland Firearm Safety Act of 2013, the revision bans the sale of specific models of rifles identified as “assault weapons,” as well as magazines with a capacity over ten rounds.

The bill also placed stricter licensing requirements on all types of handguns,

including a mandatory safety course and background screening that includes any history of substance abuse or psychiatric difficulties.

Given the impending restrictions, the last eight to 10 months have seen an unprecedented spike in firearms sales across the state. The Maryland State Police continue to struggle with a backlog of purchase applications for handguns, even as the rate of sale continues to rise up to the Oct. 1 enactment of the new gun laws.

“We’ve got more and more [firearms] coming in every day, and they’re being written up for submission [to the state police] as fast as they can be,” said Bob Arthur of Arthur’s Shooters’ Supply in Berlin. “We opened our shop to be mostly a tactical weapons shop, so we have a lot of the regulated firearms.”

The restrictions going into effect next will change the landscape of firearms sales dramatically, gun dealers said.

First, given the additional red tape being placed on handguns and the outright ban of some “assault weapons,” these types of firearms have been sold in massive numbers, saturating the market. Even if the new laws were to not take effect, demand would naturally drop off.

“To put it in terms of real estate, we just went through the boom, and the downfall will come Oct. 1,” Littleton said.

Maryland’s new laws will not affect traditional hunting rifles and shotguns, which will continue to be largely unregulated. But these firearms are historiSee LUCRATIVE on Page 26A

Lucrative market will dry up next week, but new models likely to step in following ban

Bob Arthur stands with some of his wares in his shop on Old Ocean City Road. Maryland’s assualt rifle ban discriminates against specific guns by appearance, but not necessarily function, dealers say.

SHOOTERS’ SUPPLY

New handgun license still up in air given backlog (Sept. 27, 2013) Firearms dealers are reporting that the changes in pistol permitting have been the most onerous part of Maryland’s new firearms restrictions, due to the state’s confusion on how to enact them leading up to the Oct. 1 implementation date.

“No one really knows for sure what’s going on at this point,” said David Littleton of Littleton Firearms in Bishopville, one of many local gun dealers awaiting a definitive resolution on the issue.

Under current state law, the Maryland State Police must approve all handgun purchases via an application with an eight-day waiting period. On Oct. 1, however, anyone receiving a handgun in Maryland must also have a Handgun Qualification License, or HQL, which requires an approved training course of at least four hours as well as fingerprinting.

However, large numbers of prospective handgun purchasers who submitted their purchase for approval before Oct. 1 will not have their purchase approved until after the new legislation goes into effect.

According to the MSP, handgun applications this year, through the end of August, exceed the entirely of last year’s applications by 20 percent. As of Sept.

20, 106,972 purchase applications had been received, according to the MSP. Of those, 52,988 have been processed.

In December last year, before the new firearms restrictions were even finalized, the MSP reported a spike in applications. Two dozen officers from other state agencies were brought on to assist with the work, and application processing was boosted to 21 hours per day, seven days per week. Even still,

cally slower sellers than pistols and rifles based on military designs, which evolve rapidly and constantly have new products on the market. The typical bolt-action deer hunting rifle, by contrast, has undergone few major upgrades in the last hundred years.

“A decade ago, we filled the hunting rifle market, and now we’ve filled the tactical market,” Littleton said. “Hunting rifles have always, and continue to sell in very small numbers.

I’m sure there are some larger retailers who will be able to keep a stock of them, but it makes it hard for the little guy.”

“We’re going to have to be a lot more creative in the future to keep our sales up,” he added.

“It’s going to be a dramatic change,” Arthur agreed.

“We’re going to have to change our business model completely.”

However, Arthur noted, the ban on specific firearms that have been deemed “assault weapons” will likely not eliminate that market segment. Maryland’s ban goes so far as listing specific models of firearms no longer permitted for sale in the state, either publicly or privately. Most of these guns are models based on military designs, such as the AR-15 family of rifles or the infamous Soviet-designed Kalashnikov series.

However, this list is based on the 1994 federal gun ban, and many critics of O’Malley’s policy have pointed out that the types of guns banned seem somewhat arbitrary and outdated.

“What they’re using as a list is very obsolete,” Littleton said. “There are a lot of holes here.”

A number of new designs of rifles with the same functionality as those banned have been developed in the past 20 years. Further, many modern hunting rifles not associated with military purposes also have the same firepower, if not the same appearance.

“The one good thing about this law is that the politicians who came up with it have no idea about firearms,” Arthur said. “A lot of these guns [being banned] are just the same as a semi-auto wood-stocked Remington hunting rifle.

They’re just made out of black plastic and apparently look scary.”

Arthur said he expects the anticipated drop in sales to predicate a shift in the models of guns sold.

“We still have a lot of stuff we can sell all day long that won’t be regulated,” he said. Notably, the Maryland ban attempts to create a catch-all by increasing the minimum length for unregulated rifles from the federally defined 26 inches to 29 inches.

“I can take the guns we have now, put a muzzle brake on them to get the length over 29 inches, and then it’s legal again,” Arthur said. “They’re just adding extra work, but they’re not changing anything.”

the MSP continued to fall further behind as the number of new applications outstripped its processing capacity.

This begs the question as to whether or not buyers who submitted their applications before Oct. 1, but are not cleared by the MSP to take possession of their handgun until after that date, will have to have an HQL in order pick their gun up from the dealer.

“We were very misled,” Littleton said. “We were led to believe that all these firearms were going to be allowed to be picked up after Oct. 1, not just the long guns.”

After several reversals and re-reversals, the MSP announced this week that it “will not enforce the requirements of the new law with respect to applicants whose applications are pending as of Oct. 1.”

“In light of the number of currently pending applications—resulting from the unprecedented spike in new applications in recent months—it is a fair, reasoned and appropriate result for those who are waiting for their pending purchase applications to be processed,” the agency said in a statement.

“Persons who submit purchase applications on or after Oct. 1, 2013, unless otherwise exempted by law, will be required to apply for and obtain a handgun qualification license before attempting to purchase a handgun.”

However, the Maryland Attorney General previously told the state legislature that all purchases after Oct. 1 would have to comply with the new standards, regardless of their application date. With the date now imminent, this has not yet been resolved.

“The Attorney General said that handgun purchases after Oct. 1 will have to have the HQL before they pick it up,” said Bob Arthur of Arthur’s Shooters’ Supply in Berlin. “He’s the one that could prosecute gun shop owners for non-compliance.”

Krall hopes Decatur golfers will peak after ‘mid-season slump’ LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

Worcester Prep junior Natalie Twilley, right, competes for the ball with a Sts. Peter & Paul player during last Friday’s game in Berlin. Worcester won the match against its Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference rival, 3-1.

Lady Mallards earn 3-1 victory over ESIAC foe Wor. Prep field hockey squad takes down STPP; win ‘huge,’ Frostrom says LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Sept. 27, 2013) The Worcester Prep field hockey team edged out the Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres 3-2 last October to win the program’s first ever Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference title.

Lady Mallards’ Coach Jenny Frostrom said the match-up against the Sabres this season was the conference opponent she

was most concerned about as the squad is their toughest competition.

The two teams went head-to-head last Friday in Berlin and Worcester came out on top 3-1. Frostrom said the win was “huge” for the Prep team.

Senior captain Meg Lingo netted the Mallards’ first goal about five minutes into the contest. She scored a second goal 10 minutes later. Sarah Arrington, a senior captain, assisted both goals.

Sts. Peter & Paul tallied a goal in the first half to trail by one at halftime.

Arrington capitalized, knocking in a Lingo cross to give Worcester a two-goal cushion with 15:33 left in the game.

Frostrom was pleased with her players’

performance. Although senior goalie Maddie Pilchard didn’t see much action– she made two saves–Frostrom said she did a good job in the goal.

Junior Natalie Twilley and sophomore Isabel Carulli played extremely well in the midfield, Frostrom said.

Seniors Maddy Stearns and Libby Truitt and junior Carolyn Dorey “played amazing defense with excellent carries and sends to the forward line,” Frostrom said.

“The entire offensive line plays so well to together. Their timing, passes and communication have led to our success,” she said.

Worcester will play the Gunston Day Herons today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Berlin.

Decatur boys’ soccer shuts out Queen Anne’s, 2-0, ball movement ‘extraordinary,’ coach says LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor (Sept. 27, 2013) Practice paid off for the Stephen Decatur boys’ soccer team as the Seahawks scored a big victory last Friday, shutting out the Queen Anne’s Lions 2-0 in Centreville.

Tyler Angelo passed to fellow senior Danny Beck, who shot the ball to the corner of the goal to put Decatur on top with about 14 minutes left in the first half.

“The first half we played really well.

Our ball movement was extraordinary,” said Decatur Coach Jamie Greenwood.

“We worked hard and we worked well off the ball. We had two good days of practice prior to the game. What we worked on in practice we executed.”

Greenwood said his players came out strong in the second half. About two minutes in, senior David Bernal-Clark netted a pass from junior Evan Heim.

The Seahawks got a sloppy and tired

in the second half, Greenwood said, but they held the Lions scoreless.

“We didn’t play real well in the second half, but we came away with the win and a shutout,” he said.

Greenwood said his four defenders, played well and stood their ground. Junior Corey Gwin, who had been playing forward and in the midfield, found his fit in the back “where his defensive ability would be better utilized,” Greenwood See SEAHAWKS on Page 33A

(Sept. 27, 2013) The Stephen Decatur squad started off the season playing topnotch golf. But despite winning its last two matches, the Seahawks are not performing as well as they did a few weeks ago.

“We are in a mid-season slump. Even though the last two matches were held at very challenging golf courses, our performances were Coach Krall nothing shy of lackluster,” said Decatur Coach Jim Krall. “We are not even coming close to playing to our abilities. However, if we’re going to have a slump, I’m glad it’s now and not later. I’m hoping the team begins to peak in the coming days and carries that momentum into the Bayside Championship (Oct. 7), the District [VIII Championship] (Oct. 10), and the state tournament (Oct. 28-30).”

Last Thursday at Nassawango Country Club in Snow Hill, Decatur scored 165 points to win the nine-school competition.

Leading the Seahawks to victory was freshman Matt Kristick (39), senior captain Andrew Urban (40) and juniors Danny Parker (42) and Delaney Iacona (43).

Washington finished in second place with 177 points.

Kristick earned medalist honors for lowest score of the day with Wicomico’s Tyler Joven and Washington’s Jordan Culotta.

“Nassawango Country Club is one of the most challenging courses we play.

There’s no room for error. The greens were lightning fast, resulting in a lot of strokes lost with three putts,” Krall said.

“Matt Kristick’s 39 was impressive considering he quadruple bogeyed a par five.

The players never give up. They all know that the difference between first and second place could come down to one stroke. The rest of the team also gave 100 percent, but had some unlucky breaks.”

On Tuesday, at the Green Hill Yacht & Country Club in Quantico, Decatur earned first-place honors among the nine schools participating, with a 168.

Contributing to the win was Urban (40), Iacona (42) Parker (43) and junior Brooks Holloway (43).

Washington was close behind, shooting a 171.

Decatur will compete with the other Bayside Conference South schools on Tuesday at Nutters Crossing in Salisbury.

Decatur cross country teams both finish third in Sept. 18 meet LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 27, 2013) The Stephen Decatur girls’ and boys’ cross country teams both placed third out of nine schools participating in last Wednesday’s meet on the Seahawks’ course in Berlin.

Kent Island won the girls’ competition with Coach Stigler 30 points. Cambridge

was second with 56 points and Decatur scored 71 points.

“I was pleased with the girls, running against two of the strongest schools, Kent Island and Cambridge,” said Decatur Coach Jody Stigler. “I’d like to have more girls running up front. There are girls who have potential and can improve. It’s nice to have depth.”

Senior Chloe FauntLeRoy was the first Decatur runner to cross the finish line (24:37). She finished ninth overall out of the 67 female athletes who competed.

Also scoring points for the Seahawks were senior Katie Collins (25:10, 11th), sophomore Alison Alvarado (26:06, 14th), senior Alex Tushup (26:28, 19th) and junior Jordan Klebe (26:50, 22nd).

Kent Island earned first-place honors in the boys’ competition with 25 points. Cambridge took second with 62 points, followed closely by Decatur (67).

“I was pleased with how the boys ran. [Junior] Jake Gaddis, [seniors] Kevin Herbert and John Niedfeldt ran really well,” Stigler said. “We’ve got to get our No. 4 and No. 5 runners to step

up and pick up a few places for us. We were only a few points behind Cambridge.”

Gaddis finished first for Decatur (19:46). He crossed the finish line sixth overall out of 90 runners.

Rounding out the top five Decatur runners were Herbert (20:29, 10th), Niedfeldt (20:49, 12th), senior Jake Eisenman (21:46, 21st) and freshman Cameron James (21:50, 23rd).

The next cross country meet is scheduled for Wednesday at Winter Place Park in Salisbury.

Decatur win ‘total team effort’ LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 27, 2013) The Stephen Decatur football team pulled out a big win last Thursday, outscoring the Cambridge South Dorchester Vikings 12-7.

“I’m so proud of these kids because of the way they played,” said Decatur Coach Bob Knox. “They came out and played their hearts out.”

Decatur quarterback Justin Meekins threw to fellow junior Shawny’e Jones for a nine-yard touchdown. The visiting Seahawks led 6-0 at the halftime break.

The Decatur defense limited Cambridge to just one first down in the first half.

Senior Tayevon Mills ran the ball into the end zone from one yard out to boost Decatur’s lead to 12-0 with about 11 minutes left in the game.

Two minutes later, Cambridge cut the advantage to five points, but the Seahawks held on for the victory.

“Our kids clawed and fought and never gave up. They played their tails off, especially at the end,” Knox said. “That’s the type of kids we have. They love playing the game and they play hard. They’ll do whatever it takes to win the game.”

Knox said the victory was a “total team effort.”

Senior P.J. Copes rushed 22 times for 171 yards. Mills ran the ball five times for

25 yards and a touchdown.

Meekins was 3-for-6, throwing for 22 yards.

Knox said the Decatur defense was solid. Junior Sam Coates, who had been hampered by a groin injury, moved to safety for the game from running back/linebacker. Coates had seven tackles, three sacks and he recovered a fumble. Senior Chase Sams tallied six tackles, two sacks and an interception. Wyatt Brady, a senior, made seven tackles.

Decatur will take a road trip to Stevensville to face-off against the Kent Island Buccaneers tonight, Friday.

To come home with a win, Knox said the Seahawks must be discipline, not turn the ball over, play every play like it’s their last and be physical.

BANK OF OCEAN CIT Y RECOGNIZES WEEK 2 AND WEEK 3 MVPS The Bank of Ocean City sponsors the Stephen Decatur High School football team and following each game, a most valuable player is chosen. As part of its annual $500 pledge, the bank makes a donation to the Stephen Decatur High School Athletic Boosters in that player’s name. Week 2 winner is quarterback Justin Meekins, above.

Ladies struggle to play as cohesive unit

Lady Mallards earn big win over ESIAC rival, STPP Sabres

LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 27, 2013) The Stephen Decatur girls’ soccer team struggled to play as a cohesive unit in its 5-2 loss to the James M. Bennett Clippers on Monday in Berlin. “[Bennett] hustled more and played a more intense game. They played a very smart and very good game, sending girls through and we couldn’t handle it,” said Decatur Coach Misty Bunting. “We just didn’t play well as a team.”

The Lady Seahawks got on the board first with a goal by junior Payton VanKirk about 12 minutes into the game, but the home team didn’t capitalizes on several additional scoring opportunities, Bunting said.

The visiting Clippers scored twice before halftime to lead 2-1 at the break.

Bennett tacked on four additional goals in the second half to increase its advantage. Freshman Bridgette Ardis netted Decatur’s second goal with about 17 minutes left in the competition.

Decatur freshman goalie Rachel Florek was in several one-on-one situations with

Seahawks outscore Crabbers 7-1 Tues.; White nets 3 goals said. He played stopper during the game with senior captain Jared King behind him at sweeper. They were flanked by Angelo and senior Joey Pishtey.

Behind them, Decatur senior goalie Logan Thumma made 10 saves.

“They beat us twice last year so we really wanted it,” Greenwood said. “It was a team effort. Everyone was on the same page.”

On Tuesday, Decatur traveled to Crisfield to face the Crabbers and came home with a 7-1 win.

Heim netted a shot about two and a half minutes into the game to give the Seahawks a 1-0 lead.

“We controlled possession the whole game,” Greenwood said.

The Seahawks started the second half with three forwards and tallied three goals in eight minutes. Nick White scored 1:10 into the half and about three minutes later, Gwin capitalized. White boosted the Berlin team’s lead to four at the eight-minute mark.

Crisfield scored its lone goal 12 minutes into the half.

Heim, White and Bernal-Clark finished the scoring for Decatur. Thumma logged 11 saves in goal for the Seahawks.

“We just wore them down and we got into our groove in the second half,” Greenwood said. “I thought we played well. Hopefully we can keep it up.”

Decatur will play Washington today, Friday, at 4 p.m. in Berlin.

Decatur sophomore Lexi McDonough, right, competes with a James M. Bennett player.

Bennett offensive players and came up with some big saves. She stopped six shots.

“We had some miscommunication in the back. Our back four, which are very consistent, and our play up the middle of the field, which is typically the strongest and very consistent, we struggled a little

bit through there and we felt it all over the field,” she said.

Bunting said the loss was humbling for the Seahawks and they know what they need to work on.

Decatur will host the Wi-Hi Indians at 5:30 p.m. today, Friday.

(Sept. 27, 2013) Last season, the Worcester Prep and Sts. Peter & Paul Sabres battled against each other three times and all three games went into overtime.

The Sabres edged out the Lady Mallards 2-1 in the first meeting and the second match ended in a 1-1 tie. Sts. Peter & Paul won the third contest, the Eastern Shore Independent Athletic Conference championship, 1-0.

The Mallards were looking forward to last Friday’s head-to-head competition with their conference rival in Easton.

Freshman Madison Bescak scored about 30 seconds into the game and it was enough for Worcester to win.

“It’s been four years since we beat them on their field. It was an awesome game,” said Prep Coach Carol Hartnett.

After Bescak scored, the remainder of the game was a back-and-forth fight.

Worcester on verge of victory LISA CAPITELLI Managing Editor (Sept. 27, 2013) Worcester Prep volleyball Coach Karen Hammer said the Lady Mallards have improved each match. They are on the verge of getting their first victory of the season.

Last Friday on the road against the Salisbury Christian Jaguars, Hammer said the Mallards played well and fought for every point. Salisbury won the first game 25-20 and the second 25-17. The third game was a battle, but the Jaguars came out ahead 29-27 to take the match.

“Each match they are learning to communicate better and improve in areas such as serving and receiving,” Hammer said.

“They just need to gain a little confidence.”

Junior Cecily Sass had three aces, two digs, three kills, three assists and two blocks for Worcester. Freshman Karlie Southcomb logged four kills and three digs.

On Monday, the Mallards took a trip to Chincoteague to play the ponies. Hammer said the team put up a terrific fight, nearly pulling out a victory.

The Ponies won the first game 25-20.

The Mallards outscored their opponent 25-16 in the second. Chincoteague edged out Worcester 25-22 in the third game.

The Prep team earned a convincing 25-12 victory in the fourth game to force a fifth game tiebreaker. The home team won the final game 15-10.

“They played well as a team unit. There were a few rough patches with receiving errors and missed serves, but they almost won,” Hammer said. “[Assistant Coach] Cheryl [Brown] and I were proud of them.”

Southcomb recorded four aces, eight kills and four blocks and senior captain McKenna Shanahan had two aces, seven

digs and five kills.

Claire Stickler, a senior captain, tallied four aces, four digs, four kills and two blocks and freshman Shelby Cannatelli had two aces and six digs.

The Holly Grove Eagles travel to Berlin today, Friday, for a 4 p.m. game against Worcester.

Bescak scores for Prep team about 30 seconds into match When the Sabres offense had the ball, Hartnett said the Mallards’ defense was phenomenal. Senior captains Alissa Talbert and Cynthia Delaney, junior Molly Soule and freshman Julia Talbert played in a diamond formation in front of sophomore goalie Grace Tunis and “they rocked it,” Hartnett said.

“They’re such a phenomenal team back there,” she said. “We distributed and cleared the ball well.”

Tunis stopped 11 Sabres shots. Hartnett said she had great field vision, was strong on the ball and came up with some big saves.

“We played well. We dominated the second half,” Hartnett said. “They’re physically bigger than us, but I think we were the better team. We weren’t going to let this one go.”

Hartnett said she told the seniors that “this is their starting legacy.”

“It’s nice to see their hard work paid off,” she said.

The Gunston Day Herons will meet the Prep squad in Berlin today, Friday, for a 4 p.m. game.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2013

Maintaining decorum should apply to all Knowing when to eject someone from the audience at a public meeting is tricky business. To be considered are not only the ejected, but also those whose view government skeptically, which would be almost everyone, and are ready to pounce at the first sign of official highhandedness.

The trickiest aspect of deciding when to remove someone is determining exactly what constitutes truly disruptive behavior versus the merely annoying or aggravating.

Anyone who ever attended an Ocean City Council meeting has witnessed an angry speaker, who may or may not have been blessed with any knowledge of the situation, lecture officials on how things ought to be done. Often times these comments are punctuated by cheers and applause by supporters and the opposite response by opponents.

City employees themselves have been involved in some raucous public sessions over the years and, despite an obviously high level of council discomfort, never was anyone gaveled out the door or ordered to leave by police.

What, then, was so egregious about the behavior of council meeting regular Ellie Diegelmann two weeks ago that resulted in her ouster?

Whether the decision to remove her was deliberate or the result of miscommunication between the council and the police is beside the point.

The fact is she was kicked out for talking and being animated, thus violating a rule of decorum that, if it exists, has been waived and waived again for more favored speakers and audiences.

That’s the real essence of the problem: If the council is going to kick people out of a meeting for being disruptive, then it should not impose this rule strictly on people it doesn’t like and be ready to apply it to those with whom it happens to agree.

Bats migrating this time of year Editor,

I was a little haunted in regards to the Worcester County bat alert posted last week. The statistics stated were far more alarming than it needed to be. Bats, like many other species are migrating this time of year. Since Ocean City offer’s little in the way of natural habitat, bats tend to find a daytime resting spots in the eaves of a home, condo or hotel unit. And sometimes, unfortunately, they wind up inside, not by choice.

Yes, bats like many other mammals can carry rabies. But let’s just point out some facts here. In Worcester County, from 2009 – 2012 we had no rabid bats. This year there was one. The county has a Web site which documents that information http://worcesterhealth.info/protect-menu/rabies-exposures-and-animal-bite-i nvestigationsservicesmenu. The number thrown out in the county alert stated that since 1995 over 90 percent of those who have died of rabies in the US contracted it by bats. Well, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), among the 19 naturally acquired cases of rabies in humans in the US from 19972006, 17 were associated with bats. Not all of the folks who con-

tracted rabies died. It appears that they have five documented cases of death from rabies by bats. I’m guessing the total fatalities by lightening during the past nine years in the United States may be a higher.

The bat population is already in serious trouble due to devastating disease called White Nose Syndrome. I know bats are freighting to many, but they are a great source of mosquito control, and since West Nile has found it’s way to Worcester County, we all better think twice before we fear the bat.

If you see one in the daylight and it’s not moving, it’s because it is resting and will be on its way as soon as it is dark. I’m not encouraging you to go out and handle a bat. But just be reminded that they are not as great of a threat as we are to them.

And yes, if one is flying through your house and approaching you, it most likely is sick. But I’m pretty sure the majority of bats that accidently get into a house are looking for a quick passage out an open window or door. And I’ll leave you with one more thought According to an article in Science Daily from 2011 “previous studies have suggested that typically about 10 per cent of bats taken by the public to be tested have the disease and prevalence varies greatly, depending on the species and how often that species is around people.

But University of Calgary research says the number is closer to one per cent regardless of species or where the bats roost.”

Citizen had right to speak during meeting

Editor, The recent article in the local paper regarding the removal of a citizen (Ellie Diegelmann) for clapping her approval of Mr. Pawlukewicz’s berating comments concerning a financial date request is disturbing.

I understand that government officials like to impose restrictions and limits on attending citizens during certain types of meetings.

If you’re going to impose limits and controls you should understand what these restrictions imply. To impose a restriction of our rights given to each of us by the founding fathers when they wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights: which are the guiding rules of this nation since its birth.

Now due to your self imposed restriction and limitation you have forcefully removed a private citizen from a public meeting simply because she expressed her approval of a statement made by another citizen. You may not have approved her action but she had a Continued on Page 37A

OPINION 37A

READERS’ FORUM right, based on the guiding principles of this nation, to do so.

The saddest part of this whole incident is that only one council member, Brent Ashley, questioned the action and stood up for her right. No one else objected. I have to ask: Why? I think it would be best if each person present reflect upon what occurred and realize this type of restriction placed upon one citizen, allowed to go unquestioned, can only lead to similar restrictions placed upon all citizens that don’t go along with the ruling party or people in power. If nothing else each of you, I feel, owe Mrs. Diegelmann an apology for allowing her removal to be permitted without voicing your disapproval. Remember the next time it might be you.

And now this important news from the Washington Post …

“A new nose that was grown by surgeons on a Chinese man’s forehead [is] being transplanted to replace the original nose, which is infected and deformed, at a hospital in Fuzhou, in China’s Fujian province.

“The 22-year-old man, whose name has been given as Xiaolian, neglected his nasal trauma following a traffic accident in August 2012. After several months, the infection had corroded the cartilage of the nose, making it impossible for surgeons to fix it, leaving no alternative but to grow a new nose for replacement.

“The new nose is grown by placing a skin tissue expander onto Xiaolian’s forehead, cutting it into the shape of a nose and planting a cartilage taken from his ribs. The surgeons said that the new nose is in good shape and the transplant surgery could be performed soon, local media reported.”

All I can say in this regard is if you’re thinking of having a sex change operation, don’t get it in China. Unless you have a very big hat. *** In other news from China, USA Today reported this week that “China’s swallowing up of Smithfield [hams], a well-known U.S. brand founded by a father and son who began smoking hogs in 1936 in rural Virginia.”

And here we thought that was against the law in Virginia. I would bet that when it comes to smoking hogs, the real question is which end do you puff? *** Health experts are happy with Burger King’s new “Satisfries,” the lower fat fried spud that will sell, of course, at a higher price than regular fat fries.

The reason they’re happy is because of America’s obesity problem, which accounts for 10 percent of the nation’s health cost.

Meanwhile, bad luck and getting old account for the other 89 percent of the country’s health costs, while 1 percent of the national medical bill results from busybodies who have been injured while trying to take away someone else’s french fries.

Elks Lodge and Red Knights thanked

Editor, I attended a 9-11 ceremony at the Elks Lodge in Ocean City where they had guest speakers and a pertinent video of this tragic day and they also honored a local fireman and policeman of the year.

Afterwards I attended another 9-11 event at the fireman statue on the Boardwalk, which was sponsored by the Red Knights. It was an awesome event with a motorcycle parade, bag pipers, speeches by local dignitaries with the USA flag flying proudly.

I am a retired NY City firefighter and I am always overcome with emotions on this day. I lost 343 of my firemen brothers on that fateful day and I am so thankful and appreciative to the Elks Club and the Red Knights for remembering. I am

Pink Ribbon Classic Breast cancer fund events include golf tournament, tennis, music and 5K run LISA CAPITELLI ■ Managing Editor

Sip, sample some of the best Sixteen regional wineries and wine-related vendors on site for 18th festival CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) The annual Wine Fest Wine on the Beach festival takes place today, Friday, and Saturday, bringing 16 East Coast wineries to the Ocean City inlet.

With good weather projected for the weekend, the 18th annual event is expected to draw a big crowd.

“It’s just a really good time. It’s a great venue,” said Neil Glaser, marketing director for Horton Vineyards in Gordonsville, Va., one of the wineries coming to Wine Fest this year. “It looks like it’s going to be a perfect weekend.”

Horton has been with Wine Fest since its beginnings and will bring around 18 wines for tasting to this year’s event.

Those include a new 2012 vintage and its Blanco Xoco, a white wine with a chocolate twist and a favorite among patrons, Glaser said.

“The festival committee puts together

a very nice group of very diverse wineries, so there are lots of wines to taste and try,” said Susan Deal, co-owner of Forks of Cheat Winery in Morgantown, W.Va., a staple at Wine Fest for more than a decade.

“It’s a good time. It’s a good location.

And, assuming the weather… is nice, it’s a good crowd,” Deal said.

Forks of Cheat will bring 11 wines to the festival this weekend, with its bestselling Bad Cat Catawba in the mix.

Wine on the Beach evolved as “something that draws people to the beach in September,” Deal said, and has grown over the years.

Last year, around 6,500 attended the event, organizer Christina Nokes said.

Wine on the Beach will also serve up micro-brewed beers by Fat Tire, 3rd Wave Chunkin Punkin and Devil’s Backbone Vienna Lager. There will be Chesapeake Cusisine such as crab cakes as well as pizza, French fries and roast beef for sale.

More than a dozen vendors selling wares including wine holders, handmade cutting boards, wine holders and rhinestone T-shirts will be available at Wine on the Beach.

The Pat O’Brennan Trio will play from 12:30-3:30 p.m. Friday, followed by Bird Dog and The Road Kings from 4-7 p.m.

On Saturday, the 3 Penny Opera will play from 12:30-3:30 p.m. and Bird Dog and the Road Kings will take the stage from 47 p.m.

This weekend, “the weather’s supposed to really beautiful,” Nokes said. “It’s going to be fun.”

Wine on the Beach is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days, today and Saturday. Tickets cost $30 at the gate and include one-day admission to the festival, a commemorative wine glass and 10 coupons for wine samples.

Tickets for those ages 13-20 cost $20 and children under 12 get in free. An adult must accompany anyone under age 21.

Bring a valid photo ID. Designated driver tickets come with a special wristband, unlimited soft drinks and a commemorative wine glass.

Wines will be on sale at the event. No pets, picnic baskets, coolers or outside drinks are allowed at the festival.

(Sept. 27, 2013) The annual Pink Ribbon Classic series, an assortment of local events designed to raise breast cancer awareness, while garnering money for the American Cancer Society, kicks off next week with activities that will continue until the second week of November.

Nancy Dofflemyer, Judy Johnson Schoellkopf and members of the Executive Women’s Golf Association established the Classic in 1996. Since its inception, the series, which includes a golf tournament, music-filled party and Mah Jongg, among several other events, has raised nearly $1.5 million for the cause.

In 2011, the Pink Ribbon Classic brought in approximately $186,000 (net).

It was the seventh consecutive year that more than $100,000 was donated to the organization. During a wrap-up meeting in December, it was announced that $269,659 had been raised during 2012 Classic events.

“It was significantly higher [in 2012]. I think the series was absolutely fantastic,” said Laura Martin, senior community manager for the South Atlantic Division of the American Cancer Society after the total was announced. “There was such a dynamic committee that was totally committed and went above and beyond for the cause.”

The first event in the 2013 series was the Capt. Steve Harman Poor Girls Open ladies-only fishing tournament, held Aug. 15-17. Organizers presented the American Cancer Society with $67,500 during the tournament awards banquet on Aug. 18.

PGO co-Director Earl Conley and Shawn Harman, owner of Fish Tales and Bahia Marina on 22nd Street–where tournament weigh-ins took place–on Aug. 22 at Jive on 82nd Street presented another $2,500 to the ACS from the PGO during a gathering to promote the Oct. 19 Making Strides See SERIES on Page 3B

Against Breast Cancer 5K run/walk. The total donated by the Harman family through the tournament and other events over the past six years is approximately $390,000. Since the Open’s inception 20 years ago, the American Cancer Society has received more than $600,000.

“The 2013 Classic is off to a great start.

The Poor Girls Open reached a milestone year with its’ 20th annual event,” said Amy Katz, chairwoman of the Jammin’ Out Cancer’ party on Oct. 11. “The Open was a huge success and we hope it will set the precedent for the remaining seven events of the Classic.”

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

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

“I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful cause as the Pink Ribbon Classic. It not only helps carry on the legacy of my mother who was a victim of breast cancer, but it also continues support for a very worthy cause,” said Carol Withers, owner of A Perfect Face Day Spa in West Ocean City. This is the 16th year A Perfect Face is presenting the “Pamper Yourself For Charity” raffle. “Anything that the community can do to help come to a cure for this disease is beneficial to all.”

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

“We are very excited that the mayor proclaimed October as Paint the Town Pink month in Ocean City in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

We hope that everyone will embrace the idea and support Pink Ribbon events going on throughout the month,” Furst said. “We encourage everyone to decorate their houses and businesses in a pink way. We want to finish the fight against this disease and help to create more birthdays along the way.”

While some of the money raised through the Pink Ribbon Classic will be earmarked for national breast cancer 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-on-one support visitation program by trained breast cancer survivors for new patients; Continued from Page 1B

Celebrating Our 34th Year

SINCE 1979

An Ocean City Tradition

ENTERTAINMENT:

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries charm helps persuade others to listen to your proposal. But it’s still a long way from acceptance, unless you can stand up to the tough questions that are set to follow.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Plan to share a weekend getaway from all the pressures of your hectic workaday world with a very special someone. You could be pleasantly surprised at what develops.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your keen insight once again helps you handle a challenging situation with a clearer perception of what it’s really all about. What you learn helps you make a difficult decision.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you want to steer clear of getting involved in a new family dispute, say so. Your stand might cause hurt feelings for some, but overall, you’ll be respected for your honesty.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect recognition for your efforts in getting a project into operation. Besides the more practical rewards, your Lion’s heart will be warmed by the admiration of your colleagues.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Set aside time to rid yourself of clutter that might well be drawing down your creative energies. Consider asking someone to help you decide what stays and what goes.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A colleague could make a request that might place you in an awkward position with co-workers.

Best advice: Share your concerns with an associate you can trust.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your energy levels are way up, allowing you to take on the added challenge of a task you’ve been hoping to secure. Expect this move to lead to an important opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your continuing sense of confidence in what you’ve set out to do gives encouragement to others.

Expect to see more people asking to add their efforts to yours.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might think it would be best to reject a suggestion others insist would be unworkable. But you might be surprised by what you find if you give it a chance.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Changing a decision might disappoint some people, but the important thing is that you be honest with yourself. Don’t go ahead with anything you have doubts about.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) There could be some fallout from an emotional confrontation that you really should deal with before moving on. Best to start fresh with a clean, clear slate.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your honesty not only helps you make decisions for yourself, but also helps others find the right choices for themselves.

The final winner of the summer-long Tipsy Turtle contest, held at Coconut’s Beach Bar at the Castle in the Sand Hotel, was selected Sunday. For 20 Tuesdays throughout the season, customers who ordered a Tipsy Turtle beverage at the 37th Street bar were put into a weekly drawing. Each of the 20 weekly winners were then entered into the final drawing – out of a literal pool of toy turtles - to win an all-inclusive vacation at the Green Turtle Club Resort & Marina in the Bahamas. This year’s winner was Vicki Nuzback, pictured with fellow contestants and with Patricia Smith and Bob Borello of Castle in the Sand.

Annual Coastal Cleanup event to take place Saturday in resort Volunteers should meet at City Hall on Third Street at 10 a.m. for trash pickup CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Volunteers will take to Ocean City’s beach and the bay Saturday for the 2013 Coastal Cleanup, an initiative to clear Maryland and Delaware coastlines of litter.

The Ocean City cleanup starts at 10 a.m. tomorrow, Sept. 28, at Town Hall on Third Street. Registration includes a commemorative T-shirt, bags, gloves and an assignment, although those with a preferred cleanup area can tell coordinators.

After the clean up, volunteers will meet at Buxy’s Salty Dog Saloon on 28th Street to celebrate National Estuary Day, raising their glasses for a symbolic Toast to the Coast.

The 2013 Coastal Cleanup kicked off in early September with trash pick-ups slated for around 50 sites in Delaware and nine Maryland locations, including Assateague and Ocean City.

“It’s a community event. It’s an opportunity for people to get together,” said Matt Likovich of Delmarva Power, the event’s main sponsor.

Last year, around 2,100 volunteers collected about 18,000 pounds of trash, about half of which was recycled, Likovich said.

While that’s “a significant amount of waste removed from the bays and

rivers,” it’s down from around 60,000 pounds of trash collected a decade ago thanks to increased public awareness, he said.

“People are getting the message that it pays to be environmentally conscious,” Likovich said. And that goes for personal enjoyment as well as economic goals in a resort town relying on its beaches to draw tourists.

The Coastal Cleanup initiative began with Delaware’s Get the Drift and Bag It program 27 years ago. Four years later, it spread to other Delmarva areas through new sponsor Delmarva Power.

“We initially focused on our ocean beaches,” Delaware Department of Natural Resources Deputy Secretary Dave Small said. But eventually, those areas were saturated with volunteers, “so we started expanding.”

Volunteers began taking to Delaware’s bays and backwaters. Now, “we stretch virtually from the Pennsylvania to the Maryland line,” Small said.

The cleanup draws around 2,000 volunteers in Delaware and more than 100 in Maryland annually, Small said.

Delmarva Power works with sponsors such as Waste Management, which collects trash and recyclables free of charge, and Playtex, which provides plastic gloves for volunteers.

To pre-register for the Ocean City cleanup, e-mail sandis@mdcoastalbays.org or call 410-213-2297, ext. 107.

Or simply meet at Town Hall the day of the event.

“We’re looking forward to having another successful project,” Small said.

Chesapeake Celtic Festival at Furnace Town set for Oct. 5-6 Singing, dancing, fiddling and craft demonstrations among activities planned (Sept. 27, 2013) The Chesapeake Celtic Festival will be Oct. 5-6 at Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum in the Pocomoke Forest.

Come sit in a shaded glen and enjoy the singing and dancing, fiddling, harping and bagpipes. Stroll along the paths and see craft demonstrations and the Celtic marketplace. Enjoy ethnic food

and local cuisine. Or, check your genealogy with experts and see which tartan you might be wearing.

There will be demonstrations by sheep herding dogs and competitions among the Highland athletes. There will also be combat performances at the Medieval Highlands, celebrating the ancient arts. ”Plans are underway for this to be the biggest and best festival we have had,” festival founder and producer Jeanne du Nord said.

The Celtic Festival is fun for all ages.

Latin Music award-winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra will perform on Friday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. The 13-member ensemble, led by Oscar HernĂĄndez, helped lead the resurgence of interest in the salsa music that emerged from the streets of New York City in the 1960s and 1970s.

Brought up on North Uist in Scotlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outer Hebrides, Julie Fowlis will be performing Sunday, Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. She has been a proud standard bearer for Gaelic music and culture over the course of a solo career that has spanned three studio albums.

Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show features assortment of treasures Twenty-nine vendors will be on hand to offer range of wares this weekend CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Treasures of the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show is back in Ocean City this weekend, Sept. 27-29, bringing handmade jewelry, minerals, crystals and more to the 41st Street convention center.

The show will feature 29 vendors and aims to offer a wide range of wares, said Barbara Haney, promoter for the event and owner of Treasures of the Earth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to achieve the greatest variety we can in the show,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Dealer Rita Albretch of Christopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crystal Mine, based in Youngstown, Fla., will return for her 12th year at the Ocean City event. She agreed the variety of vendors is the major draw for customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference in going to a store that just has two or three things and going to a variety store,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of artisans there.â&#x20AC;?

Even within her booth, shoppers can find a smorgasbord of items, from gem-

stones and minerals to jewelry, fossils and carvings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 50-cent itemsâ&#x20AC;Ś and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the two, three, four hundred-dollar items,â&#x20AC;? Albretch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the variety at my booth that makes it popular.â&#x20AC;?

Some come to the Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show to buy, others to browse and still more come to share information, she said. She has several customers who return each year, who she addresses on a first name basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just met some incredible people,â&#x20AC;? Albretch said.

Mary Ingram of Peach State Gem & Mineral Company in Marietta, Ga., has been coming to the show for more than a decade and agreed the people there make it worth her trip to Ocean City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the people and love the area,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She will bring her wire sculpture jewelry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a craft she learned 20 years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as other items such as beads and $5 pendants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit of everything,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show runs today, Friday, from 12-6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission costs $5 for adults and is free for children 16 and under.

Movie scenes to be shot near Ocean City pier Saturday and Sun. Lamothe’s short film, ‘The Wooden Bowl’ addresses struggles with Alzheimer’s CLARA VAUGHN Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) A director will film scenes in Ocean City this weekend for a movie addressing Alzheimer’s disease, a short film called “The Wooden Bowl.”

The story is based on the age-old tale of the wooden bowl, highlighting the struggles of a family coming to terms with an aging parent.

“When you’re dealing with a person with Alzheimer’s, it’s sometimes very exhausting. It’s frustrating,” Director Connie Lamothe said. “I’d love produce a

film that makes people get up from their Lamonthe said. She’s been vacationing seat in the theater and feel good about here since she was a child. what they just saw.”

“The Wooden Bowl” “was rather simple,” Because the movie is short, about 1525 minutes, Lamonthe will film it in just a few spots. The main plot unfolds a few miles away in Berlin, at her sister’s house.

Actors in “The Wooden Bowl” include local first grader David Carrigan, who Lamonthe knows through his grandfather.

“For what we’re going to need, he’ll be just the right actor,” she said. “He’s very, very smart.”

Others actors in the film are Johnny Alonso (“Dawson’s Creek”, “One Tree Hill”), Nick Nerangis (“The Wire,” “The

West Wing”) and Kendra North (“Leaving Hollywood,” “Rosie’s Miracle”). Lamonthe is working with award-winning director Bob Christie for the project.

“I’m very excited about my cast and the people I’m working with. All of us are award-winners,” said Lamonthe, who’s been directing films since the 1990s and has won awards for Best Director at the spring 2012 Hot Media Film Festival and Best Short in the April 2011 New York Independent Film Festival.

The crew will host a launch party and fundraiser today, Friday, at the Coconut Malorie Resort on 59th Street. Everyone is invited to meet the cast, get autographs and photos and enjoy appetizers from Macky’s for a $10 donation at the door.

All proceeds will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association.

Lamonthe also invites anyone to come watch the filming at the pier tomorrow and Sunday.

She hopes to wrap filming in October and plans to have a showing in Ocean City once “The Wooden Bowl” is edited, though there is no timeframe for that yet.

She plans to enter the film in the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, “with hopes of Sundance.”

Bewitching time of year upon us SENIOR SLANT IRISH KEMP Contributing Writer Almost a five-day full moon. You have to believe the most bewitching time of the year is upon us. My broom is in the shop, so I have to remember to watch my back.

Lest I dissed the Post in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issue, I want folks to know that neither rain nor snow nor dark of night keeps my paper delivery guy from getting it right.

What a record â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only missed six deliveries in 20 years.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not counting the one that was buried in the snow for a couple of days back in 2011 The Post guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over-the-car roof tosses are amazingly accurate.

Shades of Bob Feller!

Oh yeah, the Kemps have fond memories of old Griffith stadium and witnessing pitcher Bob Feller in his prime. Yes, folks, there was a Walter Johnson. I never saw him, but Ted Williams, as well as Hank Aaron, were around in our prime.

How â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bout that beautiful Sunfest weather? Shuster and Susan should take credit for it. Even the WBOC weatherman was astounded by the accuracy of his weekend prediction. Skip has been gloating about the guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise all week.

Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Knights Auxiliary bingo was a winner, thanks to Pat Luckett and her loyal crew of men and women volun-

teers. Year after year, Pat and her volunteers do an excellent job of putting together this sell-out semi-annual event. It seemed as thoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; everybody walked out with a prize. The lunch was excellent and the desserts were delicious. When is the last time you tasted a cake made from scratch?

Woe is me. How could I ever have forgotten singer-geetarist, almost live, bad, bad Bobby Burnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthday? Not my fault.

I told Herbie and Jack Whitmer to be sure he got his invitation to the party we threw for him. The guests all arrived at the downtown, built-from-the-top-down, 80story Williamsville Waldorf Astoria.

Sorry, Bob, we waited about 15 minutes but had to party without you in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top of the Worldâ&#x20AC;? penthouse suite.

Maybe Bob was a no show cuzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the elevators wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be installed until opening day, April 1, 2014. But, hey itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not every day one gets an astoundingly cheap price for catering a giant size event, the likes of which saw everyone take home doggie bags and top-shelf left over booze.

I have no idea of what happened to the top-of-the-line golf clubs we chipped in for you but I found the â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to improve your gameâ&#x20AC;? comic book.

Banana-waffle club sandwiches smothered in warm maple syrup FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Dish adds new dimension to favorite breakfast item DEBORAH LEE WALKER Contributing Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) Creative genius is defined as the “capacity to originate artistic works in a manner that achieves what is conventionally termed eminence.”

Culinary accomplishments also fall into this category. Taking simple ideas and elevating them to new heights is always an objective of a chef. Banana-waffle club sandwiches smothered with warm maple syrup and toasted walnuts are straightforward and add a new dimension to one of America’s favorite breakfasts.

Waffles are increasing in popularity because of savory additions such as meat, vegetables, cheese and other toppings. In addition, the fluffy batter is filling and served at a reasonable price.

The sweet dough dates back to the ancient Greeks. Chefs cooked the flat cakes called obelios between hot metal plates.

As the concept of waffles spread throughout medieval Europe, the cakes became known as wafers. At some point, the wafers began to be stamped with various designs representing family crests.

During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, wafers were eaten by all segments of society. They became so popular that they were sold by street vendors. As more and more venders got into the wafer business, matters began to get quite heated. In the 16th century, King Charles IX of France had to regulate merchants by declaring that they must stay six feet from each other.

The Dutch were particularly fond of “wafles” and the colonists introduced them to the New World in the early 17th century. By 1735, the word gained an extra “f,” becoming waffle as we know it today.

Thomas Jefferson had the opportunity to taste waffles in France and brought a waffle iron back to the United States. He served them at the White House and they instantly became a hit. Waffle parties included a

sweet version that was topped with maple syrup or molasses. Kidney pie also adorned the flat cakes, which added to the festivities.

Today, Americans tend to consume waffles with fruit and whipped cream. Along with this theme, consider bananas sautéed in creamy butter, aromatic vanilla and dark rum. The presentation is just as important as the taste. Layers of crisp waffles, scrumptious bananas, drenched in warm syrup with a sprinkling of toasted walnuts are finger-licking good.

If you prefer another fruit such as strawberries or blueberries, the ingredients can be interchanged. If syrup does not strike your fancy, a caramel sauce will also parlay nicely with the bananas. Fall is here and waffle club sandwiches are perfect for this time of year.

FOR THE RUM, BUTTER SAUCE: 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 small bananas (peeled, cut at an angle) 3 tablespoons granulated sugar Pinch of salt, cinnamon, allspice, and freshly grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 ounces dark rum Remaining Ingredients: boxed waffle mix 3/4 cup toasted walnuts 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of syrup per serving 1. Heat a large iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and allow to melt and bubble until it turns a golden brown. Remove from heat and pour into a heat-resistant bowl. Add the remaining ingredients of the rum, butter sauce and allow mixture to caramelize.

Remove from the heat and pour the reserved butter back into the pan. Allow to rest until ready to assemble waffle club sandwiches.

2. Using a boxed waffle mix, follow directions on package and make six portions.

3. While the waffles are cooking, warm the syrup in the microwave.

Tip: secure waffle with toothpick 4. To assemble, slice the waffles into triangular shapes. Place one waffle on the bottom. Add a layer of bananas and place another waffle on top. Again, add another layer of bananas and top with one more waffle. Pour syrup over sandwich and garnish with walnuts.

Tip: You might want to secure the waffle club with a toothpick. Serve immediately.

Midtown brewery planned for 45th Street in Ocean City NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

The Coffee Beanery on 94th Street makes its muffins in-house and has a rotating menu of baked goods and other desserts.

Coffee Beanery brings coffee shop setting to resort

Millville By The Sea Lifestyle Center work progressing

CLARA VAUGHN ■ Staff Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) If you’re seeking your next caffeine fix, informal meeting spot or peaceful place to write, search no further than the Coffee Beanery on 94th Street.

The café opened July 18, bringing Ocean City customers the coffee shop atmosphere with a twist: The Coffee Beanery has a drive-thru window. Customers can get their cup of joe to go, or stay for an afternoon of writing.

“From day one, whether it’s tourists or locals, people have found out we’re here and have turned us into their ‘office away from home,’” Coffee Beanery co-operating partner Dana Gottloeb said.

The first Coffee Beanery opened in 1976 in Michigan. The Ocean City chain features the same “core coffee menu” as other Coffee Beaneries, but the surprise See SCONES on Page 2C

(Sept. 27, 2013) Plans are in the works for another brewery to come to the area.

Avi Sibony, owner of the Tap House on the Bay Bar & Grill at 45th Street, told the Board of License Commissioners on Sept.

18 that he wants to install a brewery.

The brewery would be in the premises of the retail store, which now sells beer, wine and food. Years ago, it was home to upscale The Garden restaurant.

Sibony plans to distribute the beer from the brewery and the Tap House.

The board granted Sibony’s request to relocate the beer and wine retail store from its present location to the first and second floors of the building in front of the Bella Vista Condominium complex.

Sibony must obtain the brewery license from the state. If successful, the new brewery will join Burley Oak in Berlin, Hooper’s in West Ocean City, Shorebilly Brewing Company on the Boardwalk near 10th Street in Ocean City and de Lazy Lizard Brew Pub on First Street.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

The Coffee Beanery on 94th Street serves a medley of biscotti to go with coffee.

(Sept. 27, 2013) Millville By The Sea recently announced that construction of its showcase amenity is progressing nicely. The Lifestyle Center, which is anticipated to be complete by next summer, will feature a clubhouse, large resort-style pool, wellness/fitness center, crab shack pavilion and outdoor entertainment spaces all situated around a six-acre lake.

Millville By The Sea offers a variety of existing amenities including a pool, a fitness room, walking trails and a beach shuttle. Developed by Miller & Smith, Millville By The Sea creats innovative communities with the top quality homes and amenities.

Millville By The Sea is a growing resort community minutes away from Delaware beaches. The Christopher Companies is currently offering homes in the Sand Dollar Village neighborhood priced from the upper $100,000s.

2C BUSINESS

SEPTEMBER 27, 2013

Scones, biscotti and breakfast sandwiches among offerings since the café opened has been the popularity of its breakfast sandwiches, Gottloeb said.

“Breakfast is back,” he said between pulling trays of homemade muffins from the oven. Coffee house classics offered at the Coffee Beanery include scones and an array of biscotti, among other dishes on a rotating menu. Right now, the pumpkin coffee is its best seller, and the café offers other fall picks like caramel apple coffee, Gottloeb said.

The Coffee Beanery sells breakfast sandwiches such as a smoked bacon and egg or three-cheese bagel all day, but also features lunch options. Around 5 p.m., new desserts such as tiramisu and cake roll out, Gottloeb said.

The brains behind the Coffee Beanery starting talking about an Ocean City location in February or March, he said.

When the former Susquehanna Bank building on 94th Street, which was recently home to the Art League of Ocean City, became available, the business took it over, revamping the space in about two months.

“This was doable in a fairly quick period,” compared to some larger locations the business considered, Gottloeb said.

And the drive-thru window of the bank

Continued from Page 1C

was an easy conversion for the beanery’s to-go option.

The café’s July 18 opening was “insanely busy,” Gottloeb said. Though the chain has shops in Berlin and Salisbury, most of the workers were foreign students, leaving them without transportation to get there for training.

“From the time we actually had everything in place to the time we opened, we only had three days,” Gottloeb said. Even with the short training, though, “a great portion of them (the baristas) just picked it up and ran with it.” He said he gets compliments on their service daily.

The Coffee Beanery is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Those hours will likely be shortened to 7 p.m. or earlier as the winter wears on.

Gottloeb hopes to host open mic nights at the Coffee Beanery and welcomes local performers to contact him.

Likewise, he invites book groups and other organizations to call the Coffee Beanery at 410-524-4400 if they’re looking for a meeting space.

The Coffee Beanery is on 94th Street bayside, just off of Coastal Highway. Visit www.coffeebeanery.com and click ‘store menu’ to see the café’s menu.

Continuing education courses help to raise bar in profession REAL ESTATE REPORT

Most common real estate designations explained LAUREN BUNTING Contributing Writer (Sept. 27, 2013) The real estate industry has seen many changes over the past few decades. In the area of real estate agents or Realtors (Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors and must adhere to the Realtor Code of Ethics), the progression to increased requirements in continuing education courses have helped to raise the bar of excellence for the entire profession.

You may be familiar with seeing local Realtor advertisements in the paper or on business cards with a long line of acronyms and wondered what all those letters stand for? Here are a few of the most common real estate designations offered through the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

GRI – Graduate Realtor Institute: The Realtor Institute is a national program of real estate instruction administered by State Realtor Associations whose course of study meets the accreditation standards established by NAR. The program is designed primarily for members for whom residential real estate is their main business activity and helps members increase their knowledge and skills in a broad array of technical subjects and in real estate fundamentals.

ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative: The ABR designation is designed for real estate buyer agents who focus on working directly with buyer-clients. This designation offers valuable real estate ed-

ucation that elevates their skills and knowledge in the eyes of homebuyers and ongoing specialized information, programs and updates.

CRS – Certified Residential Specialist: The CRS designation is the highest credential awarded to residential sales agents, managers and brokers. On average, CRS designees earn nearly three times more in income, transactions and gross sales than non-designee Realtors. e-Pro – NAR’s e-PRO certification teaches Realtors to use cutting-edge technologies and digital initiatives to link up with today’s savvy real estate consumer.

Green Designation – Through NAR’s Green Designation, the Green Resource Council provides ongoing education, resources and tools so real estate practitioners can successfully seek, understand and market properties with green features.

RSPS – Resort and Second Home Property Specialist: This certification is designed for Realtors who facilitate the buying, selling or management of properties for investment, development, retirement, or second homes in a resort, recreational or vacation destination.

SFR – Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource: The SFR certification teaches real estate professionals to work with distressed sellers and the finance, tax, and legal professionals who can help them, qualify sellers for short sales, develop a short sale package, negotiate with lenders, safeguard commissions, limit risk and protect buyers.
