FIREWORKS, CONCERTS AND CONTESTS FOR THE FOURTH…PAGE 49

ollowing an alarming numberof pedestrian accidents in thefirst month of the summer

season, the State Highway Administra-tion has been making crosswalk im-provements at several key points alongCoastal Highway. But despite changes ininfrastructure, the Ocean City Police De-partment says it is running up against alack of any legal ground for preventativeenforcement.

Since May 28, at least eight pedestri-ans have been struck by vehicles, two ofthem fatally,as they have attempted tocross the street in Ocean City. In the ma-jority of cases, the victims were eithernot in a crosswalk, or crossing againstthe signal, following an alarming trendof vacationers running across CoastalHighway mid-block, often from theraised brick median where drivers donot expect then to be.

Matthew Jude Cheswick, 22, a Tow-son University student from Cooksville,was killed May 28 while standing in thebus lane at 54th Street. He was struck bya drunk driver, Diogo Miller Facchini,who fled the scene but was later appre-hended.

A week later, on June 4, SamanthaSweitzer, 15, an Allegany High Schoolstudent from LaVale, was killed while at-tempting to cross Philadelphia Avenueat 21st Street. She reportedly was not inthe crosswalk and going against traffic.

And in the most recent incident, June21, a 19-year-old woman from GlenBurnie was hit while attempting to crossfrom the west side to the east side of Bal-timore Avenue, roughly 20 feet north ofthe 2nd Street intersection. Her injurieswere not life-threatening, although po-lice reported that she was being treatedfor abrasions and knocked-out teeth.

In response, the State Highway Ad-ministration has been installing brick-patterned crosswalks at high-risk inter-sections, according to Ken Cimino, as-sistant district engineer for SHA District1, which covers Dorchester, Wicomico,Somerset, and Worcester counties.

“We’ve identified several half-milecorridors that are high risk, using athree-year average of pedestrian acci-dents from 2008, 2009, and 2010,”Cimino said. “You can’t force them[pedestrians], but you can encouragethem to move to the marked crossing.”

(June 29, 2012) Legionella — the bacteria thatcauses the form of pneumonia known as Legion-naire’s Disease — continues to haunt the resort,as a North Ocean City condo has recently testedpositive for the bacteria. Meanwhile, the multi-party suit relating to last fall’s contamination atPlim Plaza was recently moved from BaltimoreCity to Worcester County’s court in Snow Hill.

According to Worcester County Health De-partment Nursing Manager for CommunicableDisease Debra Stevens, the Sea Watch condo at11500 Coastal Highway was tested recently aftera hospital elsewhere in the country reported acase of Legionnaire’s in a patient who said theyvacationed in the area during the time in whichthey would’ve contracted the bacteria.

“There’s a system in place to report those cases,and the department does an investigation withthe idea of trying to prevent anyone else from get-ting sick,” Stevens said. “When a person has trav-eled, that is also reported. We were able toidentify that the patient, in the late spring duringthe time they would’ve gotten sick, stayed at theSea Watch. We had also been notified of a previ-ous possibility in the fall, and when you have twoor more cases with a common experience, that

Approximately 8,600 teens participate in free activities this June

(June 29, 2012) More than 8,600 teenstook part in the 2012 Play It Safe, a pro-gram that provides high school graduateswith organized, alcohol- and drug-free ac-tivities during the first three weeks of June.

Donna Greenwood, chairwoman of theOcean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Pre-vention Committee and Play It Safe co-or-ganizer, said the 23rd annual program,offered May 31 to June 19, was a hit witheveryone involved.

“It went really well. Everything justseemed to fall into place,” she said.

Added Lois Twilley, community healtheducator for the Worcester County HealthDepartment in Snow Hill and Play It Safecoordinator, “As usual, the participantsseemed very appreciative and they en-joyed the events.”

This year, 8,620 graduates from 18states participated in Play It Safe events,a decrease from 2011 when 11,744 teenstook part in the free activities.

Volleyball on the beach and karaoke, acombined activity that typically drawsseveral hundred graduates, was cancelledon June 12, during the second week of theprogram because of rain. The week be-fore, nearly 500 teens participated.

Splash Mountain Water Park at JollyRoger was closed to Play It Safe partici-pants on June 7.

tivities this year. The second week saw aturnout of 3,636 participants. During thethird and final week, 1,621 teens regis-tered.

Sarandon movie, ‘Ping Pong Summer,’ possibly filmed in resort

(June 29, 2012) A reception wasscheduled to be held Thursday evening forcity officials and business owners regard-ing the possibility that the city would needto provide funding in order for the up-coming Susan Sarandon movie, “PingPong Summer,” to be filmed entirely inOcean City.

Last week, producer George Rush sentan e-mail to the mayor and City Councilstating that he was the lead producer ofthe project and had been working forsome time with the “local champion” ofthe film, Ruth Waters of the HarrisonGroup, on shooting the movie entirely on-location in Ocean City.

As previously reported by several en-tertainment Web sites, the film will starSarandon in a coming-of-age tale about ateenage boy obsessed with table tennisand early hip-hop music, and his memo-rable family vacation to Ocean City in thesummer of 1985. Written and to be di-rected by Michael Tully, Rush said thatthe film had also recruited James Nesbitt,Amy Sedaris and Judah Friedlander askey actors, and that filming was plannedto begin in Ocean City in mid-September.

However, according to Rush, theMaryland Film Office rebate that the pro-ducers had applied for did not come upduring the recent budget snarl in Annapo-lis. The rebate would have refunded 25percent of all in-state costs, which Rushestimated to be $1.2 million of the film’soverall $1.5 million budget, leaving a holeof roughly $300,000.

Rush proposed that the city help bridgethe gap, either with an outright grant oran equity investment. Although any directreturn to local business would be difficultto gauge, Rush stressed that the film “is apostcard of Ocean City that will get outthere in the world in a very meaningfuland positive way.

“With the cast we have attached, we arevirtually assured of a robust internationaldistribution,” he continued.

The film is being done independently,funded by a group of private investors andcurrently unattached to any studio or dis-tributor. Rush also noted that interiorscenes could be shot in studios outside ofMaryland if funding was ultimately un-available.

In a reply, Councilman Joe Hall re-quested that the city’s marketing agency,MGH, look into the potential investment.

“I’m not so sure we would get the bangfor our dollars using tax dollars to supportthis,” Hall said. “I like the idea of OceanCity in featured movies. It’s just above mypay grade to know if it is a smart invest-ment of advertising dollars.”

City Tourism Director Donna Abbottsaid this week that she was looking intothe possible contribution, but that the po-tential benefits would be difficult to gauge.

“I’m going to guess that it’s going to bevery difficult to know what the exact valuewould be in that kind of investment formarketing purposes,” she said.

“You don’t know what the exposurewould be in the long term, so I don’t knowthat you can put a price tag on it.”

Abbott noted that the idea of an equityinvestment, such as a film partnership, issomewhat unprecedented on the munici-pal level. “Is it even something that wouldbe considered a marketing initiative?” sheasked. “The dollars we have are for desti-nation marketing, based on the city ordi-

nance that a portion of the room tax is tobe used for that. Is investing in a film amatter of marketing? It’s a big question.”

The 1986 romance, “Violets are Blue,”with Kevin Kline and Sissy Spacek, wasfilmed in Ocean City, but Abbott said shedidn’t believe the city had a direct hand infunding the movie.

“To the best of my knowledge, we havenever invested in a film before, other thanin-kind services for police or traffic orpublic works,” she said.

The same goes for nearby Berlin, wherethe Julia Roberts/Richard Gere romance,“Runaway Bride,” was shot in 1998. Berlindid not directly fund the film, but at the timethe Baltimore Sun estimated that the threeweeks of filming saw $1 million pumpedinto the local economy. Rush estimated thatPing-Pong Summer would probably putaround $300,000 into local business rev-enue during its planned six-week shoot.

“It sounds like a great project, but Idon’t know if we’re talking apples to ap-ples here,” Abbott said.

Waters pointed to a 2010 study by theSage Policy Group that was supportive offilm subsidies in Maryland. Although thestudy points mostly to statewide benefits,it does note that Talbot County reported a$7.5 million impact since the 2005 and2006 films, “Wedding Crashers” and “Fail-ure to Launch” were partially filmed there.

Waters said the benefit to Ocean City’sreputation, while hard to quantify, shouldbe clear. “We’re talking about having SusanSarandon on the Boardwalk,” she said.

(June 29, 2012) New City ManagerDavid Recor has arrived in town with highhopes and lofty ambitions, all of which he

aims to fulfill — just assoon as he can get hisgrandmother’s Christmasdecorations out of hisgarage.

“She must have everyornament and Santa doo-dad made in the last 60years,” he said. “It’s allgoing back to Onancock,

(Va.), every box. I have to be able to get tomy tools and tackle.”

The former city manager of Fort Pierce,Fla., Recor had to do some considerabledownsizing to come to Ocean City.

“The place we got here is a lot smaller

than what we had in Florida,” he said. “I’vebeen putting a lot of stuff on Craigslist.”

“In Florida, our house was always thehub,” he said. “I did a lot of the cooking,too. Between teammates, teachers,boyfriends — it wasn’t uncommon for meto be making dinner for 10.”

But Recor’s family has now downsizedas well. The two eldest of his four daugh-ters, ages 22 and 21, are staying in Floridafor the time being to finish school. And hislong-term foreign exchange student fromChina recently returned home, leaving thehousehold in Ocean City with just Recor,his wife, and their two youngest daughters,ages 12 and 14.

Not that this has been alienating forRecor — the Eastern Shore has always beenhis home, having been born and raised inOnancock, about 70 miles south of OceanCity. Recor still has family there, includinghis grandmother, although for many years

she has spent most of her time during thesummers and holidays at Recor’s fortu-nately spacious Florida home, where shewould often bring – and not take back –various decorative family keepsakes.

“I’m a big believer in everything hap-pening for a reason,” Recor said. “Timingwise, it just all fell into place for me to comeback here now.”

Though if half the impetus was familial,the other half was probably even more outof Recor’s control. In October, Ocean City’sprevious city manager of 22 years, DenisDare, was dismissed by a 4-3 vote of coun-cil, with the majority members citing hisreluctance and interference in carrying outinitiatives that would scale back city gov-ernment.

At the time, the city was already feelingthe squeeze of the economic downturn,and although many signs point to the va-cation market coming back, the city alsohad to face the reality this year of having itsproperty values reassessed for the first timesince 2008.

The subsequent dive in the town’s tax-able property base, which accounts forroughly 65 percent of its income, will onlyget worse over the next three years as newvalues are phased in. And no one can sayfor sure that 2014 will see a resurgence ofvalue.

None of this is alien to Recor. Fort Piercetook the same hit, which Recor said re-sulted in a 25 percent staff reduction since2008, down from around 480 employeesto less than 350, mainly in the city’s core de-

partments of public works and police.But Recor comes across as un-phased

by the downturn. His signature program,and the one which he is most excited aboutimplementing in Ocean City, was FortPierce’s Strategic Development Initiative,designed to keep the city on track and com-mitted to its stated goals even during a timeof cutbacks.

“It’s a matter of identifying both prob-lems and progress,” Recor said. “Let mesay it’ll be ‘our’ plan, because the employ-ees will feel ownership of it since they con-tribute. I think that’ll go a long way inhelping any unrest.”

And once the employees have devel-oped administrative goals, the same isdone with elected officials’ long-term visionfor the municipality. Even further, Recorsaid, all of his work that he submits toelected officials is tailored to the point ofkeeping those goals in sight – even goingso far as to associate specific picture iconswith policy objectives and putting the ap-propriate icon on memos, reports, andagenda items.

“It’s a matter of training them to thinkback to all the work we did when we laidthis strategy out,” Recor said.

And despite the work it may create,Recor said, it’s this fixation on long-termorganization that keeps him sane. “Folkscomments sometimes, ‘why are you socalm?’” he said. “Well, you have to be. It’snot like the work is going to go away to-morrow. We close up one agenda so thatwe can open the next.”

New Ocean City manager has high hopes and lofty ambitionsZACK HOOPES■ Staff Writer

(June 29, 2012) Responding to con-cerns about bus safety and overcrowding,city transportation officials said this weekthey are planning to pull bus supervisorsfrom other duties and station them atcritical high-volume stops.

“What we did was to increase thenumber of supers out on the street ableto hop on and off [the buses] to showsome level of presence,” said Ocean CityPublic Works Director Hal Adkins. “Weare not planning to do that every night orweekend; we do feel that there’s an ab-normal amount of high school grads rid-ing the buses during those two or threeparticular weeks in June.”

At the beginning of the month, Coun-cilman Joe Hall sent an e-mail to city of-ficials expressing his concern aboutunruly passengers on the buses, and sug-gested looking into hiring security guardsfor late-night transportation during thesummer. Although this idea was stronglyrejected by the Ocean City Police Depart-ment – which already places officersaboard buses on a volunteer overtimebasis – it initiated a series of meetingsamongst public officials to investigate thebus system.

The consensus seemed to be that anyunease riders were feeling in crowdedbuses with rowdy teenage passengers was

not necessarily police enforceable.“The number of incidents has gone

down steadily over the years,” said OCPDPublic Information Officer Mike Levy.“The bus is still the most economical andsafe way to get around the city.”

“Is the concern warranted? Maybe,but we can’t substantiate anything,” Levycontinued. “That’s their [city officials’]opinion. If they’re trying to improve serv-ice somehow, that’s definitely a goodthing, but the data doesn’t support therebeing a problem.”

“You can go out and find 100 peoplewho don’t feel comfortable in taxis ei-ther,” he added.

City Transportation SuperintendentGeorge Thornes said his departmentfound much the same thing.

“The events that happen on the buswere far less than years past. There werea few days that escalated, but, all in all,this was a very good year for us,” he said.

What has seen an increase, Thornessaid, is the volume of riders and thecrowd control issues that go along withthat.

“In just one weekend, we had the airshow, a soccer tournament, the car show,and a lacrosse event, all in a two-dayspan,” Thornes said. “These drivers arevery taxed. They’re relieved that it’s wind-ing down and I don’t blame them.”

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

SAVAGES

ADVANCE TIX: FOXSHOWTIMES.COM

(June 29, 2012) After some confusionabout what would be required for the cityto consolidate its municipal election withthe national election, it appears the CityCouncil will have two options for changewhen the issue is discussed at Monday’smeeting.

Late last week, City Solicitor Guy Ayrescirculated a memo to the mayor andcouncil regarding a discussion he hadwith county elections officials about thepossible change. The county, in turn, con-tacted the Maryland State Board of Elec-tions.

Ocean City has its own Board of Elec-tions, which oversees municipal contestsexclusively, while the county electionsboard supervises the polling for thecounty, state and national contests.

Ayres outlined a number of steps thathe was told would need to be taken, in-cluding the city adopting state electionregulations, changing its filing deadline tomatch state ballot mailing, providing forthe county voter rolls to accommodateOcean City’s local list of voters, havingOcean City candidates file in Snow Hill,and paying the county to program its vot-

ing machines with Ocean City’s candi-dates. Additionally, Ocean City candidateswould be last on the ballot and the citywould have to pay for any special electionsit needed in the future.

On June 18, the council passed a mo-tion to put the issue of election consolida-tions up for discussion at the July 2meeting. Council members Doug Cymek,Mary Knight, and Lloyd Martin supportedthe measure, citing public demand, alongwith long-time proponent Joe Hall, whosaid he had seen an issue of voter confu-sion for many years.

Of particular interest was the fact thatAyres said he had been told that theMaryland General Assembly would needto pass a resolution allowing Ocean City’selections to be merged with the largersystem, but that he had not verified thisinformation himself. If that was, in fact,the case, Ocean City would be unable tochange its election date for 2012 sincethe legislature is in recess until next Jan-uary.

However, Cymek said this week thatother parties told him that some cities inMaryland had merged their electionswithout such a resolution.

One such city is Hagerstown, whereWashington County Board of ElectionsDirector Kaye Robucci said that 2012 willbe the first year in which Hagerstown’selections will coincide with the nationaldate.

“It did not end up having to be ap-proved by the General Assembly,”

Robucci said. “We like it, it’s somethingthat’s been in the works for years, and Ithink it’s a good thing for voter turnout tobe better.”

If that were the case, the city would in-deed be able to put its elections on the na-tional ballot for this year. However, Ayressaid, he and Cymek had also discussed theoption of simply changing the city’s elec-tion date without going through theprocess of merging the ballots, meaningthat the municipal election would be heldsimultaneously but separately from thelarger contest.

“I actually like that proposal better,”said Cymek. “One, we obviously would getmore people out to vote, and two it would-n’t get lost in what will probably turn outto be a massive ballot this year.”

“The voters could basically enter intothe normal poll, and after they’re donetaking care of their state voting, would beable to go through another poll upon ex-iting for the local municipal election,”Cymek said.

Knight also found this to be a possiblechoice. “Honestly, I would like that, and Idon’t think anybody would be bothered byit,” she said. “I know the president (Coun-cil President Jim Hall) said he was con-cerned about Ocean City getting lost onthe ballot, so here you would go to vote forOcean City and then be funneled throughto the federal,” Knight said. “I think that’sa viable option.”

Councilman Brent Ashley and MayorRick Meehan also opined that the city’s

unique election would get lost in the shuf-fle.

Unlike Hagerstown, Ocean City has itsown voting equipment and could run itsown election in a separate room of theconvention center while the larger contestwas going on.

“We’re self-sufficient when it comes tothat and there wouldn’t be any loss withwhat the county looked to capture if theyran the election,” Cymek said.

Hagerstown, Robucci said, used tolease its voting equipment from Washing-ton County, making simultaneous elec-tions logistically difficult. The consoli-dation meant that Hagerstown’s ownboard of elections was subsequently ab-sorbed into the Washington County board.

Knight said she would still be open tofull consolidation, even with the chal-lenges Ayres outlined. “I think it’s incum-bent upon me as a candidate to make it aseasy for the voter as possible, if I have togo to Snow Hill to file, that’s fine,” shesaid.

Joe Hall, was less enthusiastic about adate change without a ballot merger. “Istill stand by the consolidation of thething. I think if we’re going to do it, do itright,” he said. “My whole goal is a one-stop shop.”

The city’s voter participation rates inthe past two elections have been around25 percent. While this is low compared toprevious town elections, it is somewhathigher than the national average for mu-nicipal contests.

June 9-10 was a record one for the city’stransportation system. Thornes said busridership was up by 14,256 riders – a 16.2percent increase over the 2011 air show.Furthermore, the peak of the weekendsaw 87 bus deployments over a 24-hourperiod, the biggest in the town’s history.

Each deployment represents one busand driver for an 8-hour shift, and sincethe city owns fewer than 87 buses, somevehicles had to be cleaned and preppedrapidly for multiple shifts in one day.Contrast that with a winter weekend,Thornes said, where the city might haveonly five deployments in 24 hours.

Following city officials’ meetings, Hallsaid he, fellow Councilman Brent Ashley,and new City Manager David Recor tooka late-night bus ride on a Saturday togather some more information. Hall saidthat during the ride, he was particularlyimpressed with the ability of both thedrivers and the supervisors stationed atkey stops to control the crowds.

“It was eye-opening,” Hall said. “I can’tgive them enough accolades. When a su-pervisor gets aboard with a uniform anda radio, people really shape up.”

“We put them [the supervisors] at thestops that are high-volume to help thedriver when they pull up. We do that atcritical times at any stop that we feel needsit. They’re there to take care of the driversas well as the public,” Thornes said.

Adkins said, as a result of officials’concerns, schedules will most likely bepre-arranged in the future so more super-visors can be out on the street, patrollingin vehicles on stationed at stops, duringtimes of critical mass.

“I think what you’ll see us do for nextyear is pre-plan those two or threeweeks,” he said, in reference to the Juneweeks in which high school graduatestypically flood the resort.

“The issue seems to have subsidednow that we’ve transitioned from havingso many high school seniors here,” saidRecor. “When we developed that strategy[of having more flexible supervisors],there was a notable difference in rider-ship volume. But that will be our strategymoving forward.”

“What most people don’t realize is thatwe don’t have 10 or 15 supers out there,”Adkins said. “We rely heavily on technol-ogy, particularly the Automatic VehicleLocator system. Our on-the-street super-vision might be two or three individuals.”

But while the AVL has been effectivein keeping supervisors up-to-date on thelocation of buses – the current iterationhas a refresh time of only 10 to 15 seconds– it hasn’t replaced the necessity of ‘bootson the ground.’

“Technology doesn’t always mean lesspeople,” Thornes said. “You’ll never takethe human factor out of this, especially inthe environment that we have here.”

A new event this year was apizza and a dance party at PizzaTugos in West Ocean City onTuesday evenings.

“It went really well,” Green-wood said. “The business itself isa great location for the event.”

When Play It Safe debuted 23years ago, it had just three eventsand 350 participants. Since its in-ception, more than 149,000teenagers have signed up for theprogram’s free activities.

Play It Safe, coordinated by theWorcester County Health Depart-ment and the Ocean City Drug

and Alcohol Abuse PreventionCommittee, with support fromthe town of Ocean City and localbusinesses and organizations, wasstarted as an effort to prevent theabuse of alcohol and drugs byhigh school-aged visitors to theresort. It aims to encourage recenthigh school graduates to make in-formed, healthy choices whilehaving responsible fun withoutthe use of drugs and alcohol.

At the different events, partic-ipants could pick up a wristband,which allowed them to ride theresort bus free. The ability to ridethe bus at no cost was a hit withboth parents and teens, Green-wood said.

“The parents are so appreciativeof the city for allowing their kids toride the bus for free,” she said.

Graduates also received T-shirts, food, drinks, giveaways andprizes at competitive events. Prizeswere donated by local businesses.

“We’re off and running plan-ning for next year. The dates arein the works, and we’ll be startingsoon after Memorial Day throughmid-June,” said Twilley, who isretiring. Her final day as a com-munity health educator is June29. At this time, there has been noone hired to replace her as Play ItSafe coordinator. Twilley saidMonday she might continue tooversee the project.

“I really do like this program,”she said. “It serves a real need inOcean City.”

The new crosswalks are not brick, butthermoplastic sheets colored to look likebrick paving. After laying them and align-ing them, SHA workers use a torch tobond the plastic to the pavement beneath.

“The idea is that the crossings will bemore conspicuous to pedestrians anddrivers, but especially to pedestrians sothat they can see them and cross there in-stead of just running,” said SHA TrafficEngineering Manager Debbie Wicker. “Iwas in Ocean City the other weekend, andpeople darting out like that is a seriousproblem.”

The new SHA crosswalk strategy goesagainst the previous thinking that wasused when Coastal Highway’s median wasbuilt in the 1980s. At that time, the me-dian was constructed with a number ofdepressions in it to allow vacationers withstrollers and coolers to cross the highwayat locations where there wasn’t a trafficsignal.

The depressions were often protectedwith stout wooden posts known as bol-lards, so that pedestrians could wait in themedian for traffic to clear. Although thisstrategy served well for some years, the in-crease in traffic on Coastal Highway hasmade these features more trouble thanthey’re worth, and the SHA has beenworking to eliminate them.

“Currently we are removing the de-pressed areas with the bollards that pro-

tect where you’re standing,” said Cimino.“The idea was to give them [pedestrians]a refuge.”

“Little by little, we’re taking them out,”said Wicker. “It discourages them [pedes-trians] from crossing in the middle.”

For pedestrians, then, the most idealsituation would be to have signaled lightsand crosswalks at every block. But this isnot feasible, given Coastal Highway’s traf-fic patterns, Wicker said. “Intersectionshave to meet signal warrants, which is alot of factors,” she said. “As the town de-veloped to the north, that’s when the sig-nals went in as they were needed.”

This pattern of development has beennot only a logistical issue, but also a legalone. According to OCPD Public Informa-tion Officer Mike Levy, preventative en-forcement against jaywalkers is difficultbecause there are actually only threeplaces on Coastal Highway where officerscan make jaywalking arrests.

Maryland law stipulates that a personis jaywalking only if they cross outside ofa marked walkway even though there isone available to them at a controlled in-tersection in both directions. The spirit,presumably, is that people walking acrosscountry back-roads should not be ar-rested for jaywalking.

But the effect is that, for Coastal High-way, there are only three places whereconsecutive marked intersections occur,

State officials try new strategyfor Coastal Highway crossingsContinued from Page 1

See PEDESTRIAN on Page 15

and thus present pedestrians with the ap-propriate crossing options so that theymay be arrested for jaywalking if they donot utilize them. Those places, Levy said,are between 2nd and 3rd Streets, 48thand 49th Streets, and the stretch of cross-ings in front of the Gold Coast Mall inNorth Ocean City.

Pedestrians can otherwise be chargedwith being a traffic hazard, but this neces-sitates them presenting a clear obstruc-tion that is difficult for police to prove.

“You basically have to be blatantly un-safe for us to do anything,” Levy said. “Ieither have to wait until you get hit, orwait until the car misses you and spinsout. Simply put, it’s nearly impossible todo enforcement where you see peoplerunning across a highway and there’s noclear violation.”

“We’re running into a couple of hugeproblems, but the main one is pedestrianssimply refusing to be safe. I think the ul-timate answer has to be education,” Levyadded.

And despite the potential of infrastruc-ture changes, Cimino felt the same way.The three-year study on which he basedcrosswalk placement also shows that thevast majority of accidents were “alcohol-related, pedestrian error, or a combina-tion thereof.” Sixty-one percent, in fact,

were attributed to intoxication.“You can’t engineer your way out of

that,” Cimino said. “That’s an educationcomponent that we’re trying to move to aswell.”

National and international statisticalevidence points to both factors — city de-sign and pedestrian obedience — beingimportant. The 2010 New York CityPedestrian Safety and Action Plan out-lines pedestrian accident rates across theworld, in terms of annual deaths per100,000 residents.

Notable is the fact that America’solder-style cities with more closely setgrids experience fewer deaths – Portland,New York, Seattle, Boston, and San Fran-cisco all come in between 3.39 and 4.33annually. A slight jump is seen when mov-ing to the Midwestern cities and the moresuburbanized East Coast, such as Wash-ington, D.C., and Philadelphia, whichrecords 6.22 fatalities. And a massivejump is seen when moving to some indus-trial and rapidly suburbanizing areas,

with Detroit and Atlanta seeing 10.31 and10.97, respectively.

Such a number for Ocean City wouldbe difficult to establish, given the town’sfluctuating vacation population. Consid-ering that peak summer weekends bringin about 250,000 people, one could esti-mate that the average population over thethree summer months is around200,000. If Ocean City sees no moredeaths this season, that would give onedeath for every 100,000 people over aspan of three months. Projecting that toannual numbers, Ocean City would havean average of around 4 deaths if it were tobe in summertime conditions year-round.

A 2003 report by the Federal HighwayAdministration also notes that “studiesshow pedestrian behavior to be generallybetter in the presence of marked cross-walks,” with tests demonstrating that in-creased crosswalk markings increase“looking behavior” in traffic.

The report also noted, however, that“pedestrians in groups tended not to use

the marked crosswalks,” a phenomenonmany residents have reported seeing inOcean City, especially amongst groups ofteens. Sweitzer was killed while crossingwith two other friends.

The low end of deaths for Americancities also seems to be the norm for mostEuropean cities, with between three andfour deaths annually. Some have noted,however, that crosswalks may be linked tocultural behavior. Societies with a tradi-tion of high social cohesion do experiencemuch lower pedestrian death rates, par-ticularly in Asia and the Nordic countries,despite the sprawling nature of cities likeTokyo and Berlin.

That being said, the ability of pedestri-ans to use the means available to them isalso a difficult factor to quantify.

“People don’t realize that they have topush the ‘cross’ button,” Wicker said. “Ifyou don’t press the button, the signal op-erates on how many vehicles are on theside street, and you probably won’t haveenough time.”

(June 29, 2012) Assateague Island Na-tional Seashore is seeking adult volun-teers who enjoy working with people forits 2012 “Pony Patrol.” Volunteers contactvisitors involved in the unsafe and illegalpractice of feeding and petting horsesalong Assateague Island’s roads.

Although most of this year’s positionshave been filled, an unexpected changehas left the patrol short of weekend staff.Volunteers are needed to work a four-hour shift: Saturday afternoons from 2-6p.m., or Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.or 2-6 p.m.

Every year, visitors are bitten or kickedby the wild horses. The purpose of thePony Patrol is to help the public enjoy thehorses safely and in appropriate ways.The focus is on education, with the goal ofminimizing petting and feeding incidentsto maintain the wild nature of the horsesand reduce the number hit by cars.

The patrol operates from MemorialDay through Labor Day, or longer forthose volunteers who wish to stay on.

Applicants should have good peopleskills and enjoy talking with the public.Volunteers will be provided training onhorse behavior, the problems associatedwith human/horse interactions and howto safely deal with roadside animals. Pa-trols are conducted on paved roads by bi-cycle, so applicants must be physically fitenough to be able to complete their timecommitment under summer weatherconditions. Volunteers must be willing tocommit to one four-hour shift per week,June through August.

(June 29, 2012) Since the re-inceptionof the city’s open container law as a crim-inal misdemeanor last week, the OceanCity Police Department has reported mak-ing eight such arrests, but police are opti-mistic that some of the year’s most difficulttimes for problematic public drinking arebehind them.

OCPD Public Information Officer MikeLevy said eight people have been arrestedfor public possession of an open containerof alcohol since the City Council votedunanimously last week to re-criminalizethe offense. Previously, the city consideredsuch offenses to be civil infractions, whichcame with a citation and a ticket similar toa parking violation.

Although the city had previously classi-fied open container offenses as criminal vi-olations that could result in arrest, officialschanged that to a civil infraction someyears ago when open container arrestswere perceived as becoming less of a prob-lem.

The move was made to reduce theworkload on police, but it was the OCPDtwo weeks ago that asked for a return ofthe old policy.

“The reasoning is that it will give offi-cers a tool to take care of a problem whenit’s small,” OCPD Chief Bernadette DiPinotold the council when she requested the

change. “It gives police the discretion tostill just write a citation to anyone who hasan open container, but it also puts the abil-ity to arrest in their toolbox if they thinkit’s warranted.”

Elected officials had expressed somereservations in approving the change,namely concerns over police discretion touse the power of arrest only when ab-solutely necessary.

“One of the reasons it took so long tochange this has been the concern aboutdiscretion, and I do have reservationsabout that,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. “Idon’t agree with the concept that, if some-body’s drinking now, they might be aproblem later. I hope that’s not the param-eter used.”

“One of the things the chief said whenshe made this request was that she wouldtighten up the parameters the officers useto make these arrests,” said CouncilmanJoe Hall. “If it goes the other way, if they’renot being selective, it can go back to beinga citation, and I don’t think she wantsthat.”

Levy noted that officers’ use of theirnewfound discretion is still relatively smallcompared to the number of other alcohol-related charges the OCPD typically dealsout. In the same period as the eight opencontainer arrests, officers also recorded 38incidents of disorderly intoxication and 16of public consumption.

ADULTENTREE’S

(June 29, 2012) In the early 1980s,John Cary guarded the Ocean Citybeach every summer for three years.Now, some 30 years later, the 53-year-old has returned to the stand to keep aneye on resort swimmers and beachgo-ers.

In 1980, when he was 21, Cary spenthis first summer guarding the beachand ocean in the midtown area, around40th and 50th streets, he said. He wasin the same location the following sum-mer, and in 1982, he was stationed on142nd Street as the last guard stationedon the 10-mile strip of Ocean Citybeach.

Since then, Cary completed to med-ical school and started an internal med-icine practice in Manassas, Va. He andhis wife, Betsy, who met in Ocean Cityin 1979, have four daughters, ages 30,28, 25 and 24.

“We met at the beach and we haven’tbeen back much at all. With work, kidsand medical school, there just wasn’ttime,” he said.

Cary said they talked about gettingback to the beach more often; in fact,just last year, he had planned to try out

for the Ocean City Beach Patrol, but aninjury one week before the testing putthat plan on hold.

“It was a minor injury, but I couldn’tswim,” he said of the mishap — a bro-ken collarbone resulting from a low-speed motorcycle accident.

Cary still came to the resort to watchothers test and he said he couldn’t waitto tryout this year.

He had been doing Crossfit, a corestrengthing and conditioning program,for about a year, which he said put himin “decent” shape. He stopped Crossfitwhen he began training for the beachpatrol test. For two months, Cary swamabout a mile, four to five days a week,and he also did some running, he said.

On June 9, Cary took the test, whichincluded completing a 300-meter softsand run in 65 seconds, a 400-meterocean swim in less than 10 minutes,and doing a series of simulated rescues,among other actions, and passed.

He had a week off before the SurfRescue Academy, which ran from June17-24. The academy was new to him,Cary said, because when he first be-came a lifeguard 30 years ago, all hehad to do was pass the test, endure afew hours of training and then sit withand observe a guard for a few days.After that, he worked on his own.

“It’s nothing like it was 30 years ago.Now you have 70 hours of training inseven days,” he said. “It’s really physi-cally intensive, and you’re in the class-

Moving OC’s electionis the right callEditor,

Combining the national andmunicipal elections in Ocean Cityis the right choice. I’ll never for-get the 2010 municipal election.On that Tuesday, it was literally aghost town at the conventioncenter. To point out how sparselypopulated it was, a song startedon the radio when I entered thebuilding and it was still playingupon returning to my vehicle.

At that moment I realized toexpect the unexpected with theresults.

And as we all know, BrentAshley narrowly beat Joe Mitre-cic for the final seat that was upfor grabs. That small margindrastically changed the landscapeof the council, forming a new“majority.” I don’t think we needto document the many controver-sies that have happened sincethen. But the fact of the matter is,that small percentage of regis-tered voters who turned out thatday (less than 25 percent) nar-rowly changed the legislativelandscape of our town. I don’tknow about you, but I’d muchrather see 50 percent of the reg-istered voters deciding who sitson our council over 25 percent,and that is what the national elec-tion has consistently shown toturn out. Doesn’t it only makesense then to combine the elec-tions?

I’ll admit that I would miss theannouncing of the results part ofelection night. But I would much

rather lose that than have a coun-cil voted in by only a small per-centage of voters that isn’t theright choice to serve. I alwaysvote in both elections, but I knowa lot of people who simply forgetto vote in the municipal electionor don’t realize when it is. I com-mend council members [Doug]Cymek, [Mary] Knight and[Lloyd] Martin for changing theirstances on this issue and listen-ing to the concerns of the citi-zens. It’s refreshing to seepoliticians who still do what theyare elected to do: serve the peo-ple. Now, hopefully with combin-ing the two elections, usregistered voters will do what ourrights as Americans are: show upand vote.

Rich DrakeOcean City

Nostalgia should beno factor in electionEditor,

The current election systemdiscriminates against people withjobs. Government employees re-ceive the day off to vote in the na-tional elections. The localelection leaves a narrow windowfor these workers to vote.

Schoolteachers who partici-pate in after-school activities

should be afforded the same op-portunity as the unemployed.Clinging to “nostalgia” does notexcuse voter suppression.

Sean RoxOcean City

Thanks to communityfor successful eventEditor,

The Art League of Ocean Citywould like to thank the artists,sponsors and volunteers whomade this year’s Plein Air PaintOut a success. Thirty-three artistsfrom all over the region partici-pated in the event. Artists camefrom Baltimore, Washington,D.C., La Plata, Delaware and Sal-isbury to compete for more than$2,450 in prizes.

Thank you to the Ocean CityDevelopment Corporation forproviding $1,750 in prize money,the HMRA for $500, Jan Bain for$100 and to La Hacienda Restau-rant for providing gift certificatesfor the honorable mentions.Thanks, also to Bryan Russo forproviding beautiful entertain-ment during the Wet Paint sale,for Laura Era of Troika Gallery inEaston for judging the overallevent and Brad Hudson of Uni-versity of Maryland Eastern

One of the impediments to a larger voter turnout inOcean City’s municipal elections is that some people simplydon’t want to run the gauntlet of poll workers as they crossthe parking lot on their way into the convention center.

It’s a free speech issue, so, outside of requiring candidatesand workers to maintain a certain distance from the actualpolling place, there is no way to regulate the often aggressive,albeit earnest, advocacy for a particular candidate or cause.

Even so, one would assume that most voters alreadyhave their minds made up by the time they take the longwalk, thus making those last-minute appeals and sugges-tions generally pointless.

While it might be that some few people aren’t quiteclear on one or two things and will weigh the possibilitiesup until the time they pull one lever or the other, the cam-paigners who scramble to round up their votes just mightcost candidates more than they gain.

There is certainly nothing wrong with the party-likeatmosphere of the convention center parking lot on elec-tion day, nor are the candidates’ tents and work stationsout of place. Both of these things make the election moreof an event, as opposed to a legal requirement.

But rare would be the person who doesn’t feel a tingeof discomfort when he or she is accosted by an eager po-litical operative whose candidate isn’t on their personalballot. A simple handshake, a warm greeting or a “Thanksfor voting” would suffice.

Voters can always visit, mingle and discuss politicswith whomever they choose, but it should be their choice,as opposed to being drawn into a circumstance theywould rather avoid.

The only way the situation can be controlled is for the can-didates and referendum backers, when that situation arises,to urge their workers to exercise some restraint, thus allowingcitizens to do their duty however they choose to do it.

It may not result in double-digit increases in theturnout, but making people more comfortable about vot-ing couldn’t hurt.

Restraint on election daymight also help turnout

OC bus systemis a winnerEditor,

My husband and I both read with in-terest the editorial and article concern-ing bus safety, supply and demand inthe June 15 issue of Ocean City Today.

As first-time visitors, we were im-pressed with the bus system. We usedthe buses heavily for two days andnever felt unsafe. Our stay, midweekduring the firemen’s celebration, didfind the buses crowded after 7 p.m., butnot overly so.

The buses were a great value andeasy to navigate. They saved us moneyin parking fees and gas. We are certainthey help to keep traffic down and in-toxicated drivers off the roads.They were also a nice way to sit backand familiarize ourselves to the area(we rode the whole route a couple of



Count me in.There are promotions and then

there are promotions, but finally aneffort has been made that, in myopinion, is far superior to a free her-mit crab with every purchase.

Will I am sure that a free crabmight entice any number of peopleinto a particular location, there arethose of us whose hearts don’t flutterat the site of assorted crustacea andwould prefer something more, well,exotic.

As I was driving up the highwayMonday, lost in thought about the

sorry state of the marketing worldand the all-t0-frequent lack of pop intoday’s messages, I saw the sign.

From the looks of it, I wouldn’tmuch care if they were serving Kib-ble n’ Bits, because this is clearly apromotion that has a great dealgoing for it.

What surprised me was that whileI always believed that the expansionof gambling in the state would soonlose its luster and that we would digever deeper to find something thatDelaware doesn’t offer -- yet -- I did-n’t think it would happen thisquickly.

Later, however, as I made anothercircuit on the highway (anticipatinga long line at the door) I found thatthis was all a cruel hoax perpetratedby persons unknown and that thesign had been corrected.

Even so, I still don’t want a hermitcrab.

Not all OC employeesfavor union intrusionEditor,

I have to question the statementsmade by Ms. [Barbara] Dahan in Mr.Hoopes’ article last week, that all em-ployees support union efforts beingmade. That is not the case. All employ-ees do not support collective bargain-ing.

Ms. Dahan states that we want sup-port and equality and security — wehave that. Ms. Dahan states we wantconsistency on rules and regulations —we have an employee manual thatspells out rules and regulations. Thereare plenty of employees who don’t ac-

cept the idea that an outside agencyneeds to be involved in our employ-ment. I don’t want to pay for somemeddling group to support me. I’ll takecare of my own business, thanks. I don’twant to pay for security that can’t pos-sibly be guaranteed, as things changeall the time.

And as far as equality, you can’tcompare the skills of an accountant toa cop or a firefighter or a heavy equip-ment operator. They’re all different aseach of us is. Different skills, abilities,passions, ethics, etc. — this list goes onand as such, compensation equalitycan’t happen. Are we all to get paid$100,000 a year no matter what? Thatmight be nice, but that’s not going tohappen, with or without representa-tion.

Ocean City employees offer anarray of talents and abilities and arepretty well compensated for them.True, no raises in four years, but theeconomy’s been in the tank; it willcome back. Paying union dues isn’tgoing to put us financially ahead, evenwith a raise.

In closing, before anybody literally

(June 29, 2012) The owner ofthe 12th Street pizzeria heavilydamaged by fire Sunday night ex-pects to reopen within the nexttwo weeks.

“When we open, we will be100 percent,” Marco Polo ownerBahjat Alsabbar said Tuesday ashe and Oleg Boyko, one of hisemployees, worked on takingitems out to trash containers inthe parking lot.

When firefighters arrived atabout 10:30 p.m., they sawsmoke and fire coming from theroof, where the fire is believed tohave originated. Ladder truckcrews vented two holes in theroof to locate the fire, which wassuppressed in approximately 40minutes.

“The water did a lot of dam-age,” Alsabbar said.

When the fire was first noticed,Alsabbar’s partner’s brother andanother employee were in theback and two young women werewaiting on customers out front.

“My guy said, ‘Go, go,’ “ Alsab-bar said.

Some of the customers hadpaid and later, they asked fortheir money back. There werealso customers who had calledfor delivery and had paid by

credit card. When Alsabbar called one of

those customers, he said, “Don’tworry about it,” Alsabbar said.Another credit card customersaid he would take care of it later.

This is the third summer forthe pizzeria. For the first twosummers, it was known asMack’s Pizzeria. The namechanged to Marco Polo Pizzeriawhen it opened this year inMarch. Alsabbar’s partner se-lected the name.

Four employees and various

family members work at MarcoPolo. All will have their jobs whenthe business reopens.

“They were there for me,” hesaid. “It’s not their fault.”

In the meantime, they’ve beencleaning out the pizzeria. In addi-tion to a new roof and ceiling,nearly everything else, includingthe ovens and other appliances,will be new.

The Ocean City Fire Marshal’sOffice is investigating the fire,which is believed to have in-volved electrical wiring.

triggers an investigation of the facility.”Although the samples from the Sea

Watch tested positive, Stevens cautionedthat the two reported cases linked to thecondo could be incidental. “There’s noway to say conclusively that they con-tracted it at the Sea Watch,” Stevenssaid. However, the condo is required tonotify residents and visitors of the pos-sible risk.

Legionnaire’s Disease is a form ofpneumonia, caused by a person inhalingaerosolized water — i.e. water vapor,steam, or mist — that carries the bacte-ria. The subsequent infection of thelungs causes flu-like symptoms that aretypically not serious in healthy adults,but can be deadly for children, the eld-erly, and those with otherwise weakenedimmune systems. It is not contagiousfrom person to person.

The bacteria tend to grow in enclosed,standing waters at slightly higher thanaverage temperatures. “It’s not an un-usual thing to find,” Stevens said. “Itdoes like to proliferate in water that isstill and between 70 and 120 degrees. It’svery difficult to tell where the bacteriaget introduced into the water system.”

City Manager David Recor said thatthe city’s water supply had been testedand was not the source.

“We treat the water before its put intothe supply and, from what I understand,chlorine typically does the trick,” he said.“What happens is that there are tracesstill in the water, and when freshwater

sits in a plumbing system for a period oftime, it becomes stagnant and the bacte-ria develops, particularly when com-bined with heat.”

In October, a Legionella outbreak atthe Plim Plaza resulted in several ill-nesses and one death. A group com-plaint, filed in Baltimore City this pastJanuary but re-filed, as of June 18, inSnow Hill, names 13 plaintiffs, includingthe heirs of Minnie M. Hoffman, who al-legedly died from the illness she con-tracted at the Plim.

Jules Zacher, the attorney for theplaintiffs, said that the case was beingmoved to Snow Hill in an agreementwith the Harrison Group, which ownsthe Plim and is listed as the defendant ineach count.

At the Sea Watch, manager Bob Allensaid the condo had already entered intoa contract with a company to come upwith a remediation plan for the contam-ination, as required by the health depart-ment. As of June 19, the condo has alsobeen distributing a memo to all of itsguests, which notes that samples takenin the sauna, one of the units, and themen’s restroom at the swimming poolhave tested positive.

Following treatment, the health de-partment will test the condo’s waterevery two weeks for three months, andthen once per month for another threemonths until results come up clear.

The county has also set up a hotline atits office number to answer commonquestions about the infection and both

Allen and Stevens said they have advisedguests to take measures such as takingtub baths instead of showers and notusing saunas, hot tubs, or whirlpoolsthat could cause one to breathe in in-fected vapors.

“Everyone can make a decision basedon their own personal health,” Stevenssaid. “Our role is to make sure that, whilethere is a risk, people are notified.”

Allen said that several of the real es-tate companies who rent units in thebuilding have called in with cancella-tions. But the majority of owner-occu-pied units have decided to stick it out.“We’ve had a lot of people here,” Allensaid. “We have a few year-round resi-dents and a lot of people who stay allsummer, and they’re all here.”

Cary: I was a lifeguard 30 years ago;it’s nice to be backroom, too. [Lifeguards] are exception-ally well-trained.”

Kristin Joson, OCBP Web editor andpublic relations coordinator, said therewere 43 rookies this year. The averagerookie age is between 18-22, she said.The youngest veteran guard is 18, whilethe oldest, Dave Haight, a crew chief, is52. The average age of an Ocean Citylifeguard is about 25, Joson said.

“It was much harder this timearound,” Cary said. “Everyone was

younger than me, including the instruc-tor, but I kept up with them fairly well.”

At the end of the academy, Cary hadto complete another run and swim andhe dropped time from his first attempttwo weeks earlier. He finished the first400-meter swim in 9:54. Last week hecompleted the swim in 8:37. He cut onesecond off his 300-meter soft sand run,dropping from 64 seconds to 63.

Cary said his wife and daughtershave been 100 percent supportive.Most of them were in town at various

times to cheer him on during his train-ing.

“He’s so excited and we are, too,” hiswife said. “It was a long week, a longtwo weeks.”

Cary said his first day on the standwill be July 7. He will continue to man-age his practice during the week andwork as a lifeguard on weekends inOcean City.

“I’m looking forward to the summer.I was a lifeguard 30 years ago and it’snice to be back,” he said.

“You’ve got somebody who is totally in-toxicated and they’re not being discreetabout it, you need to take care of the prob-lem the first time,” Levy said, in referenceto what he termed the “policy criteria” thatofficers are trained to use in making suchjudgments.

“My belief is that there’s been enoughemphasis put on this change that peoplewill understand the philosophy behind it,”Levy said. “If history is to be our lesson, thepre-payable citations weren’t workingproperly.”

Much of the public support for themeasure cited the need for a means to in-vestigate and detain the plethora of under-age drinkers found during the post-highschool graduation weeks of June.

“If they act the wrong way [towards po-lice], we need to be able to send them tojail,” said Joe Groves, current president ofthe Delmarva Condo Managers’ Associa-tion. “We’re evicting kids and we can’tsend them anywhere because they’re toodrunk. From a DCMA standpoint, it’sneeded.”

Levy said he was hopeful that the num-ber of arrests would decline as June cameto an end, but cautioned that “this isn’t justdriven by senior week, it’s also the carcruisers’ activities, bike week … it’s not justrelegated to the month of June or one agegroup.”

Pusey Country Store still an eyesore in Snow Hill

(June 29, 2012) If the owners of aderelict property in Snow Hill do notmake firm plans to fix it or demolish it,the Worcester County Commissionerswill have it razed.

“I want to be on the legal safe side andgive them 30 days,” Commissioner VirgilShockley said about the old Pusey’sCountry Store on Route 12.

The commissioners discussed the oldbuilding during their meeting Dec. 6,2011, but did not declare it to be a publicnuisance. It had been tied up in an estateand one section had collapsed. The own-ers had recently taken title to the prop-erty and one of them was getting bids todemolish part or all of it, said Ed Tudor,director of the Department of Develop-ment Review and Permitting. Because ofthat, the commissioners decided to givethe property heir until Feb. 1, 2012 totake corrective action before they consid-ered their next step.

When February came, the commis-sioners learned no progress had beenmade at the store.

Tudor said a portion of the buildingon the right side had been damaged byfire and had collapsed and the commis-sioners determined that at least that por-tion of the old country store wasdilapidated, burned out, fallen down andramshackle.

They declared it to be a public nui-sance and ordered the abatement of thenuisance conditions within 30 days. Theyalso agreed to give the property owner 15days to request a hearing on the matter.

The property owner did ask for a hear-ing, which was held March 6. Tudornoted that the area had been cleaned upand a fence erected in front of the fallenportion of the building, but the commis-sioners said that was insufficient. Theowner then asked for an additional 90days to complete the required abatement.

He asked for a list of required repairs,but the commissioners balked at that re-quest and told him to hire a contractor toexamine the building and determinewhat needed to be done. The commis-sioners also said if the site was notcleaned in a 90-day period, the countywould step in and clean it at the propertyowner’s cost.

During the commissioners June 19meeting, the issue returned. This time,Tudor said fire debris had been cleaned,but the building was heavily rotted andthe roof leaks extensively.

Commissioner Louise Gulyas wantedthe county to move ahead and raze thebuilding.

“It’s an eyesore, it’s a mess,” she said.“A haven for homeless people.”

Commission President Bud Churchwas also ready for action.

“We may be doing them a favor bytearing it down,” Church said.

County attorney Sonny Bloxom sug-gested caution and said the commission-ers should send a letter saying the countywould raze the unsafe portions of thebuilding if no action was taken within 30days. They decided to send a letter stat-ing they want a signed contract for abate-ment of the nuisance or action to bringthe building into compliance.



The Worcester County Commissioners want the old Pusey Country Store in Snow Hill to be broughtinto compliance with the county code for safety reasons or to be demolished.

(June 29, 2012) During the televisionairing of the case of the murder of NicoleReiser Bennett on the Nancy Grace showlast Friday, her brother said she had stayedhome from work that day because heryoungest of three daughters was sick.

Bennett, who worked at the daycare atBay Shore Community Church in Gum-boro, went to the church after her hus-band, Kevin, arrived home after workThursday, June 14, Craig Reiser said. Hewatched the child so she could make upthe time she missed.

At about 7:30 p.m., she called or textedher husband to say she had some morework to do and would be going to the gro-cery store before going home.

“And Kevin, you know, he fell asleep onthe couch, which wasn’t out of the norm,”

Reiser said. “He used todo that when we were …for holidays and stuff. Sohe woke up early in themorning. That’s when herealized she wasn’t home.But that’s pretty much it.I mean, I think he … oncehe called in … once hefound out, he called in

right away because …Grace found the time frame puzzling.“I still can’t get my head around her

calling home around 7:30, 7:40 p.m.,saying, ‘I’m still working late. I’m goingto stop by the grocery and come home.And she’s not reported missing until 8a.m. the next morning. That’s a longtime.”

Just about one hour after Kevin Ben-nett reported his wife missing, her bodywas found by a hiker walking along

Swamp Road, a dirt road near Wha-leyville. Her body was lying in the em-bankment about six miles from BayShore Community Church, a non-de-nominational church.

Her red mini-van, with her cell phoneand pocketbook inside, was parked atthe church.

When Grace asked Reiser if the Ben-netts had a good marriage, he saidthings “were really good. I mean, espe-cially the last, you know, three or fourmonths, things were great.”

His sister’s life revolved around herfamily and church.

“Nicole was devoted to those threegirls and her family and (inaudible) Imean, it was pretty much work at thechurch and the day care there at churchand the family. That was it.”

Nicole Bennett had grown up in asmall town in Nebraska where she was

raised in the Catholic faith. An onlinevideo filmed during the past year showsher talking about her family and faithbefore her baptism by immersion inwater. She talked about her upbringingin a Catholic household and how religionwas an issue when she met Kevin Ben-nett, who was not Catholic. Her sistertold her, she said, that as long as she be-lieved in God, the difference in religiousdenominations should not matter.

Bennett cherished that memory, shesaid, because her sister was killed in amotor vehicle accident in 2003.

The investigation into her death iscontinuing and a reward is being offeredto anyone with information leaded to thearrest of a suspect or suspects responsi-ble for Bennett’s murder. Anyone withinformation is asked to call the Worces-ter County Lower Shore Crime Solversat 410-548-1776.

Over imbibingA 32-year-old Delmar woman found lying in

one of the lanes on Route 611 at about 8p.m. on June 12 was charged with disorderlyconduct after reportedly becoming belligerentwith deputies of the Worcester County Sher-iff’s Office who were called to check on her.

Deputies stated she was highly intoxicatedwhen they took her to the Sheriff’s Office to beprocessed. She was released to the care andcustody of a man who went to the office togive her a ride home. According to the Sheriff’sOffice, she became irate with him and threwpieces of paper at him. Eventually, she threw apen at him and deputies, resulting in a charge

of assault. Police said she resisted arrest,leading to a charge on that count as well.

Pedestrian hitAnother instance of a pedestrian being

struck while running through traffic outside ofa crosswalk happened June 21, although po-lice say the victim’s injuries are not life threat-ening. At 1:36 pm, a 19-year-old woman fromGlen Burnie was hit with the front right-sidebumper of a passenger car while attempting tocross from the west side to the east side ofBaltimore Avenue, roughly 20 feet north of the2nd Street intersection.

“From the preliminary investigation, it lookslike the pedestrian attempted to run eastboundacross Baltimore amongst traffic,” said OceanCity Police Department Public Affairs Specialist

Jessica Waters. “She was taken by EMS toPRMC [Peninsula Regional Medical Center inSalisbury] and is likely to be treated and re-leased. I’m seeing no major injuries reported,mainly abrasions to her legs and hips.” Watersalso said that it appears alcohol was not in-volved for either the pedestrian or the driver.

Inlet rescueTwo teens were rescued in the inlet Monday

after their personal watercrafts capsized be-cause of strong winds and waves.

A U.S. Coast Guard crew in a 25-foot rescueboat made the rescues at about 6:30 p.m.when one of severe storms that day passedover the resort. A person at a nearby motel sawthe teens flipped into the water and called 911.Before their rescue, the teens, who were wear-

ing life jackets, managed to tie their personalwatercrafts together and were clinging to them.

After the teens were aboard the rescue boat,Sea Tow towed in the personal watercrafts.

Deadly weaponA 19-year-old Hanover woman was charged

June 23 with having a concealed deadlyweapon after an Ocean City policeman saw aswitchblade knife in her pocket.

Two policemen had stopped at 120thStreet for a “park and walk” at about 4:20a.m. They saw three people walking down bythe water and approached them.

Kimberly Lorainne Putt consented to asearch and the officer saw the knife and re-moved it. The officer also found a small bottle.

(June 29, 2012) A Pennsylvaniateenager was arrested twice in one day lastweek.

Trouble started for Wayne Michael Je-linek, 18, at about 1 a.m. June 19, when apoliceman saw him and a younger teenfacing each other on the Boardwalk nearSurf Avenue and heard them encourageeach other to start a fight. Both had theirlegs and feet staggered for better balance,their arms were raised with fists in the air.

The policeman saw Jelinek hit the otherboy in the face with his right hand and thensaw the boy retaliate with a strike to Je-linek’s face. The boy also tried to push Je-linek over the seawall onto the beach.Approximately 15 to 20 people had assem-bled to watch the fight.

After the policeman separated them, theboy told him he had been walking back tohis hotel on the Boardwalk and he had ap-proached a group of people, including Je-linek. He asked the group if they were inOcean City for Senior Week and Jelinekcursed and told the boy not to talk to him.After that brief exchange, the two began tosquare off against each other.

Jelinek’s side of the story was that theteen had approached his group and saidsomething vulgar, but he did not recall theexact comment. Then they exchanged dirtylooks and the boy knocked a cup out of his

hand, Jelinek said.The policeman arrested both Jelinek

and the juvenile, charging them with affrayand second-degree assault. He also con-tacted the juvenile’s father to inform himof his son’s arrest and the need for him tocome collect him from the police station inOcean City.

Jelinek did not stay out of trouble forlong. At about 8 a.m. that morning, he wasin the parking lot of the Public SafetyBuilding, which houses District Court andthe headquarters of the Ocean City PoliceDepartment.

It was about the time the police werechanging shifts and some of them smelledthe odor coming from the car where Je-linek and two friends were sitting. They or-dered the three, all from the town ofCranberry, to exit the vehicle and thensearched it.

They found several bags of marijuana,paraphernalia and dextroamphetamine, aschedule I controlled dangerous substance.

Vance Austin Embry, 19, was chargedwith possession of marijuana and threecounts of possession of paraphernalia. Ju-lian Dominick Jordano, 19, and Jelinekwere charged with possession of dex-troamphetamine.

Jelinek was put in handcuffs for the sec-ond time in fewer than 10 hours.

After an initial appearance before acourt commissioner, all were released ontheir personal recognizance.

Board allows Snow Hill grocerystore to have beer, wine license

(June 29, 2012) Fifteen months afterdenying a beer and wine license for asmall Snow Hill grocery store, the Boardof License Commissioners decided thetime was right to say “yes.”

In March 2011, the board took the sideof numerous citizens who said they wereconcerned that an alcohol license at YourStop at 426 W. Market St. could exacer-bate the drug issue in that impoverishedarea of the town. The citizens were alsoconcerned about the availability of alcoholsales at late hours.

During the board’s June 22 meeting inSnow Hill, citizens for and against filled themeeting room and were about equally di-vided in their opin-ions. Those whowere opposed saidthey did not want tosee empty or par-tially filled bottles ofalcohol near thestreet and theirhomes. One saidshe was concernedabout the close proximity of schools. Thosein favor of the license said it was neededbecause the closest stores selling beer andwine to go were both more than a mileaway and many residents lacked trans-portation because of financial difficulties.At one time, three businesses in that areasold beer and wine. Now there were none.

Owners Chaudhary Arshad Warraichand his wife, Muniba Gondal, have oper-ated the store since 2008 without prob-lems. Police have been called to thebusiness only once and that was becauseof a shoplifter and Warraich made the callhimself.

Before Warraich and Gondal boughtthe business, it was a problem. Some peo-ple hung around outside late at nightdrinking and reportedly using drugs. Lit-tering and panhandling were also prob-lems. One of the previous owners wascaught in a federal sting operation in2007. The sting involved people attempt-ing to bribe federal undercover agents inhopes of obtaining illegal green cards andtax abatements.

Warraich is no relation to the previous

owner, who pleaded guilty to being part ofthe racketeering conspiracy to get thegreen cards and tax abatements. The onlyconnection is that the former owner isWarraich’s landlord.

During last year’s hearing before theBoard of License Commissioners, attor-ney Joe Moore, who represented War-raich and Gondal, said the board shouldnot deny their request for a beer and winelicense because of previous problems atthe site. Nevertheless, the board felt thecitizens’ concerns were valid and deniedthe request.

Last week, Moore and others said thecouple deserves to have a beer and winelicense.

It would be wrong to deny the licensebecause of the area of town where the busi-

ness is located, saidSnow Hill business-man Gary Weber.“He’s willing tocome here andopen a business. Hedeserves a chance.”

The couplemoved to Snow Hillfrom New York City

for a better life and a nice place to raise chil-dren. They like the town and the schoolsand they want to stay. They work from 6a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week and it hasnot been sufficient to provide the neededincome. Every few months, Warraich re-turns to New York City, where he drives acab to earn money. He would like to be ableto earn enough money in Snow Hill to beable to no longer be a taxi driver in the city.

Citizens at the board hearing, those infavor of the license and those opposed toit, said they had no problems whatsoeverwith Warraich and Gondal. They arepleasant, they work hard and the store isalways clean, they said.

“Not one person said a bad word aboutthese people, “ said William E. Esham Jr.,chairman of the Board of License Com-missioners after board member CharlesNichols made the motion to grant the ap-plication for a beer and wine license atYour Stop if Warraich would continue toclose the store at 9 p.m. and cease alcoholsales at 8 p.m. Warraich readily agreed.

“I’m going to concur and give him anopportunity,” Esham said.


“Not one person said a bad

word about these people.”

WILLIAM E. ESHAM JR.Chairman of the Board of License Commissioners


Owner of 45th Street Villagedenied request to sell liquor

(June 29, 2012) The owner of 45thStreet Village and the many Sunsationsstores in Ocean City was denied his re-quest last week to sell liquor at his newbeer and wine store.

Avi Sibony, who has been in businessin the resort about 25 years, said hewanted to de-emphasize grocery itemsand to add liquor. The closest liquor storeto the south is at 17th Street and the clos-est one to the north is at 66th Street.

He didn’t acknowledge that Seacretsowner Leighton Moore already had a li-cense to sell beer, wine and liquor insealed containers to go from the his 48thStreet location, but that was the main gistof his attorney’s argument during theJune 22 meeting of the Board of LicenseCommissioners in Snow Hill.

Attorney Pete Cosby said public safetywas a factor that should be considered.The Seacrets parking lot is too congestedand people who wanted to purchaseliquor would have difficulty finding aplace to park and negotiating the trafficin the parking lot.

Moore said there would be no suchproblem because he was using 60 park-ing spaces just for those customers. Healso employs security personnel for theparking lot and people could direct the

customers to parking spaces. “People will be assured of a parking

space,” Moore said. Moore renovated the boutique in the

Seacrets parking lot to sell beer, wine andliquor there. He could have been sellingthe alcohol to go as many as 24 years agobecause his liquor license has no restric-tion. He said the new store would opentoday, Friday, June 29.

“This will absolutely fill the publicneed,” said William E. Esham Jr., chair-man of the Board of License Commission-ers.

Cosby said there would be enoughbusiness for both places to sell liquor togo and continued to push the publicsafety angle. The 45th Street Village hasample parking and customers would notencounter traffic problems there, he said.The parking issue, he said, was uniqueand should be considered in the board’sdecision, he said.

Robert Cowger, director of the one-year-old Worcester County Departmentof Liquor Control, opposed Sibony’s ap-plication to sell liquor, citing the lack ofpublic need for it. In addition to thecounty liquor stores at 18th Street and114th Street, there are five privately-owned liquor stores. If Sibony could sellliquor, his store would be just 1,056 feetfrom Moore’s liquor store and stores are

BOARD OF LICENSE COMM. BRIEFS

Continued from Page 26Long’s plans dashed when board denies license

(June 29, 2012) After working for thepast couple of months to renovate theformer Pulse nightclub at 45th Street,Steve Long’s plans to operate a club forthe older generation were dashed lastweek when he was denied an alcoholicbeverage license.

At the conclusion of its June 22 hear-ing, the Board of License Commissionerssaid Long had failed to show a publicneed for the license to sell beer, wine and

liquor at the Retro Music Hall. Long, a certified licensed master elec-

trician who specialized in working inbars and restaurants, said his businessplan was “to provide an entertainmentand drink atmosphere for the oldercrowd.”

Michael Marshall, who said he owned20 percent of the business, also saw it asunique.

“It’s something we don’t have inOcean City. There’s no place the oldergroup can go and enjoy themselves,”Marshall said.

At age 48, Long said, he feels “out ofplace any place in Ocean City.” He wantedmusic from the 1950s, or even earlier,through the 1980s. Some of it would belive and some would be recorded.

“It’s gotta be before ‘90,” he said. “Iencourage people to bring in records.”

Customers could also take 8-tracktapes and old vinyl records.

“It’s all about the music,” Long said.“There will never be any hip hop or rap.”

Long also planned to have customersparticipate in the decoration of the RetroMusic Hall. They could take almost any-thing to be used for decoration and itwould be tagged and placed somewhere.

Although Long and Marshall talkedabout the uniqueness of the proposednew business, board member CharlesNichols said they had failed to show apublic need for the alcoholic beverage li-cense and the other two board membersconcurred.

Long did not say what he plans to donext.

Pulse, originally planned as a NewYork City-style club with a dress code,went out of business after two years. Be-fore Pulse, the building was the site ofScandals, a rock venue, and Samantha’s,an upscale nightclub.

Existingshopsadverselyaffectednot needed to be so close.

More liquor stores would cause a de-crease in business for the ones already inbusiness and the county liquor storeswere already seeing a 6 percent decline insales, Cowger said.

County attorney Sonny Bloxom alsospoke against Sibony’s request.

County liquor dispensary profits aresplit 50-50 between the county and thetown of Ocean City and each of those

would see their amounts decreased,Bloxom said. Furthermore, he said, if thecounty granted Sibony’s request, theboard would set a precedent for liquorstores to be located every four blocks.

Cosby continued to push the publicsafety issue, but to no avail.

“The public is adequately served,” saidboard member Charles Nichols, whoadded that existing liquor stores would beadversely affected and there was nouniqueness in the property.

(June 29, 2012) Fannie Mae’s 2012National Housing Survey conducted anoversample of delinquent borrowers inan effort to provide more information to

assess homeownerattitudes for the of-tentimes hard toreach delinquentborrower population.These findings, re-leased earlier thismonth, showed(not too surpris-ingly) that once a

borrower becomes delinquent, their at-titudes about homeownership, house-hold finances and paying theirmortgage become significantly morenegative than the general populationof people with mortgages — even sig-nificantly more than those who are un-derwater and those who haveexperienced home value declines.

Record numbers of homeownersthroughout the country are experienc-ing being “underwater” on their mort-gage (when a home is worth less thanthe amount owed on its mortgage). Aspart of the housing recovery effort, pol-icy makers have taken steps to ad-dress the challenges facing thesehomeowners in an effort to developpolicy changes and programs that willhelp the housing market rebound.

One of the questions on the survey,for example, was, “If a person’s houseis now worth less than what they oweon it, do you think it’s OK for them tostop paying their mortgage?” The de-linquent borrower percentage of “yes”answers was 23 percent as comparedto the non-distressed mortgage holderwhere only 9 percent answered “yes.”

“Results indicate that helping keepmortgage borrowers current on theirmortgage is a beneficial goal since thenegative attitudes resulting from delin-quency for the borrower (and thosethey influence) may be hard to repairand could evolve into ingrained delin-quency behaviors,” said Doug Duncan,senior vice president and chief econo-mist of Fannie Mae.

The Fannie Mae National HousingSurvey polls homeowners and rentersto assess their confidence in home-ownership as an investment, the cur-rent state of their household finances,views on the U.S. housing finance sys-tem, and overall confidence in theeconomy. They release both monthlyand quarterly reports and can befound at www.fanniemae.com.

(June 29, 2012) For Ocean City resi-dents and visitors who are looking forunique, one-of-a-kind gifts, O.C. TradingCo., on Baltimore Ave. and SomersetStreet in downtown Ocean City, mightjust be the place to find them.

“We have a little bit of everything. Wetried to bring a worldwide presence intothe store and offer things you can’t findanywhere else,” said O.C. Trading Co.President Ollie Powell. “I want everyoneto find something unique. Every time youcome in, you’ll see something new.”

At the start of the year, Powell noticeda sign that the landmark building, oncehome to Ocean City’s first post office, an-nouncing the unit was available for lease.“It was a neat building and I fell in lovewith it right away,” he said. “This place isextremely unique. There’s a nice, positiveenergy here.”

Powell and his girlfriend, AssuntaSiniscalchi, took over the space in Febru-ary and began renovations. He asked herto marry him on the front steps on herbirthday, Feb. 24.

(June 29, 2012) Ocean City police founda handgun in a man’s clothing bag Fridayand removed another handgun from thesmall of a man’s back the next day.

The first handgun, a loaded .38 caliberweapon, was found June 22 during a

search of a man’s clothing bag after a traf-fic stop at about 10:30 p.m. at 61st Streetbecause the driver had been driving back-wards for about 100 feet. The three men inthe Honda station wagon, all from Penn-sylvania, told police they were in OceanCity for the night, but had no place to stay.

A policeman ran warrant checks on allthree men and learned of a warrant from

the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Depart-ment for a violation of parole on posses-sion of a controlled dangerous substancewith the intent to distribute charge for oneof the men. He then took Matthew RayQuinones-Torres into custody.

Another policeman discovered mari-juana wrapped in several dollar bills inQuinones-Torres’ pants pocket.

After the other two men, Jason Mal-donado, 26, and Davontaye Harrison, 19,

exited the vehicle, police found marijuanaand paraphernalia in the car and chargedthem accordingly.

Police then found a loaded .38 caliberhandgun in Maldonado’s Jeep bag. Mal-donado was charged with possession ofmarijuana, possession of paraphernaliaand having a handgun in a vehicle. Policelearned the handgun had been stolenfrom Lancaster County in March 2011.

The next day at about 2:30 a.m., a manapproached a policeman on BaltimoreAvenue near Ninth Street and said an-other man on a shared hotel balcony hadthreatened him with a handgun.

The man said he had been sitting on achair on the balcony when Quinones-Tor-res told him he had better not start any-thing because he was armed. He thenturned his back, lifted his shirt and dis-played a handgun in the small of his back.

Several officers were called to the area,spotted Quinones-Torres and arrestedhim at gunpoint.

(June 29, 2012) In areas all over thecountry, farmers’ markets offer an oppor-tunity for people to obtain produce di-rectly from the person who cultivated it.From flowers to baked goods, these local,down-to-earth farmers bury the seeds,tend the plants and harvest and sell theproduce directly to the consumer. Loyalgroups of consumers continuously pur-chase their goods on the basis of quality,knowledge and personal connection.

In Berlin, on the corner of West andMain streets, one such farmers’ marketoperates with chipper enthusiasm everyWednesday from 2-6 p.m. and Fridayfrom 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Another has re-cently opened in Ocean Pines at WhiteHorse Park and is held every Saturday, 8a.m. to noon.

The farmers who bring their produceto market offer what many grocery storesand retail markets lack — personal con-nection to the community, food and con-sumer. Each farmer has developedproduce from seed to stand with the in-tention of bringing it from their field tothe consumer’s hand minus the middle-man. Every egg is taken directly from thenest and put into a carton by hand. Everycarrot is planted, pulled from the ground,and bundled by hand; and, every farmerhas a connection to the community, hiscustomers, the earth they work and theother farmers. Each farmer pays a sea-sonal fee through the local Chamber of

Commerce so he can set up his stand andsell produce in the community.

One of the farmers, Stefanie Barfield,who co-operates Chesterfield Heirlooms,a stand that offers “old world versions ofmodern vegetables,” described her con-nection to the community.

“It’s great to get face-time with cus-tomers, to see people who come back, ortourists who stop in, and to get feedbackfrom people who say things like, ‘Oh I re-

ally liked this!’” Chesterfield Heirloomsbegan as a hobby for Stef and her husbandin Pittsville, but blossomed from a back-yard garden to a full-time passion in 2010.

“We’re here every Friday, and we evensell to different restaurants,” she said.

Area restaurants are beginning to seethe benefits of buying local and support-ing the communities of which they are apart with Farm to Table. Restaurants par-ticipating in Farm to Table are now buy-

ing directly from the farmer, finding outwhat produce is available, and highlight-ing that farmer with meals made from hisor her particular produce for a week orweekend.

(June 29, 2012) The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum’s annual summereducational programs begin next weekand will feature a variety of topics, includ-ing beach safety, resort history, knot tying,U.S. Life-Saving Service, sharks and localmarine life.

The approximately 30-minute inform-ative programs will be held at 10 a.m.,Monday through Saturday, July 2through Aug. 25. Most of the programswill take place in front of the tram station,near the museum at the south end of theBoardwalk.

“We have the same programs and wehope they will be as popular as they havebeen in the past,” said museum curatorSandra Hurley.

Although the activities offered havechanged a bit or been modified, the cur-rent line-up has remained the same forabout 13 years. The Storm Warriors pro-gram is the newest addition, added in2006.

The late Dorothy G. Mumford, a life-long resident of Ocean City, foundingmember of the Ocean City Museum Soci-ety and former Ocean City School teacher,started the programs in the 1980s, ac-cording to Hurley. The first one she devel-oped and hosted told the story of a pony,Misty of Chincoteague.

The Monday sessions will feature rep-resentatives of the Ocean City Beach Pa-trol. Surf rescue technicians will discuss

life-saving techniques, the equipmentthey use, rip currents, water safety, rulesof the beach, surfing spots and the impor-tance of sunscreen, among other topics.

Kristin Joson, OCBP Web editor/pub-lic relations coordinator, said one of themost important things the beach patrolwants beachgoers to know is, “Keep yourfeet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in thestand” and never swim when lifeguardsare not on duty. The OCBP is on dutyfrom 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day.

On Tuesdays, visitors will hear aboutthe history of the town and how it grewfrom a small fishing village into the mul-timillion-dollar resort it is today. Duringthe session dubbed “Ocean City BeforeCondominiums,” museum board mem-ber Bob Stevens will display photos, dis-cuss the history of the town, itsdevelopment and how women played arole in creating what was once called the“Ladies Resort to the Ocean.”

(June 29, 2012)Jill of all trades mas-ter of none. Sorta latein life, but I nowknow one more thingthat ain’t my game —gardening! I unwit-tingly discoveredthat I can still get

down, but I can’t get up. In full view of aguy driving by, this old broad leaned overto pull up a bodaciously humongous weedin the front yard and ended up falling, facedown, on top of it. The last thing I remem-bered was the guy’s eyes looking like adeer’s caught in the headlights, staring indisbelief. He never stopped, but not toworry, I’m sure he took longer to recoverhis equilibrium than moi.

Skeptics will never believe this, but inmy dazed state, I actually witnessed sixleprechauns underground sitting on toad-stools around a tiny table playing OldMaids. H’mm, maybe it was War? Ohyeah, folks, I’m losing it.

It’s great to see the sister act energybunnies, Mary Ellen O’Brien and TheresaNolan, back in town. They’re just in time

to promote my campaign to get the adult-plus folks to hop on the town’s socialmerry-go-round. Improvising, socializingand exercising is what it’s all about.

Local retirees are so lucky to have somany cool places where “home cooked”meals are available on a daily basis, suchas the local Elks and Knights of Columbusclubs. The MAC Center, at 41st Street andbay, offers a reasonably priced nutritiouslunch four days a week, plus a boatload ofother amenities, such as an exercise room,card games, art lessons, etc. Did I mentionthe opportunity to meet new friends, the

likes of club director Anne, Barbara Giles,art teacher Jody Vaeder, Sarah Gray, Jimand Mary Moeller and Lux Luxenberger?The guys, all the way from Ocean Pines,who hang around the pool tables are onthe lookout for new victims. They’re fish-ing to catch a few sharks. Sorry, guys, Ilost the scrap of paper with your names onit. Absolutely free membership at thisadult-plus center makes it a cool place tohang out on hot day. You might even findyourself starring in a play.

My generation’s love of music, social-izing, dining out and dancing could be the

key to how and why so many of us madeit to and through the golden years. Funflies when you take the time. Watchingthe boob tube’s zillion-plus channelscould make for an infinity of boredom.Ask the folks who are unable to go out andhave to rely on the TV for entertainment.Wise folks, they urge me to tell newcom-ers to get involved and not to wait until it’stoo late, health-wise and strength-wise, tocirculate.

(June 29, 2012) “Keep your feet in thesand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”This is not just a catchy slogan — it is ahelpful reminder that swimming in un-guarded water is never a good idea. Al-though this advice applies to pools, it iseven more important when swimming inopen water such as lakes, rivers andoceans, which have uneven bottoms,changing currents and sudden drop-offsand changes in depth.

People tend to leave their cares, con-cerns and common sense behind them

when they come to thebeach. No one can blamethem; vacationers haveworked hard and they sim-ply want to enjoy their timeby the ocean. Most peoplebelieve that nothing bad isgoing to happen while theyare on vacation and that they

will never be the unfortunate victim of anaccident or injury while enjoying a day atthe beach. The possibility of a tragedy oc-curring with a loved one is the furthestthing from their mind when they chooseto go swimming without a lifeguard.

However, it is important to rememberthat the ocean is not just a fun place tospend a vacation — it is a natural, everchanging dynamic environment, and likeall natural phenomena, if it is not treatedrespectfully it can be deadly. There are sadstories about people who have lost their

lives because they chose to swim at nightor in the early morning without anyone toguard them. We have already had 10 in-stances this summer of people who had tobe rescued when lifeguards were not onduty. Many times these situations whenpeople choose to swim when guards arenot on duty end in a tragedy. Even expe-rienced swimmers and surfers have losttheir lives swimming alone with no one tohelp them when things go wrong.

Lifeguards and people dedicated towater/beach safety feel frustrated bythese stories. There is no need for anyoneto lose a family member on vacation. It isa tragedy that could be so easily avoided.

The ocean is constantly moving andchanging. To the untrained eye it can lookcalm and safe, but currents on the calmestday can still be dangerous. Never be shyabout asking lifeguards about water con-ditions. Their job is to recognize the dan-

ger and educate beach patrons about it. Ifyou hear them blow their whistle, lookand see whom they might be trying tocommunicate with. It could be you.

The lifeguards will use their flags to di-rect you out of harms way. Last summerwe saw a lot of wildlife activity out in theocean. There were whale sightings anddolphins traveling close to shore. Al-though these creatures aren’t normallyharmful to humans, it’s safer to simplymove out of their way and let them pass.

Lifeguards have a better view of what isgoing on from their guard stand and willmove you away from the less dangerousoccurrences such as these and the moredangerous situations such as rip currents.

The beach patrol also enforces rules, or-dinances and regulations that I am suresome of you find annoying, but each regu-lation has been put in place for a reason.

See BEACH PATROL on Page 65


The beach patrol is responsible for main-taining a safe, secure and enjoyable envi-ronment for all of our visitors and ensuringthat they may enjoy their vacation time.Please remember that if the lifeguard asksyou to play ball at the back of the beach, fillin a hole, or move an umbrella out of hisline of sight, he is doing this to ensure thateveryone has a safe and enjoyable beachexperience and can return for many more.

We hope you enjoy your time here inOcean City. Follow the directions of thelifeguards and never underestimate theawesome power of the ocean. Never swimalone or when lifeguards are not on duty.Remember our slogan and pass it on tofamily, friends or anyone whose life youvalue: “Keep your feet in the sand untilthe lifeguard’s in the stand!”

n Captain’s Note: Every member ofthe beach patrol is fully tested and certi-fied before they ever have the privilege ofguarding you or your loved ones. In fact,the bottom line that determines if I offerthem a job is a positive response to thequestion: “Would I trust them to guardsomeone in my family?”

However, even with the most highlyqualified and expertly trained lifeguardson the stands, we still need your help. Ifyou are not a highly skilled swimmer with

ocean experience, remain close to shore.It takes even the fastest runner andswimmer some time to get to you and thefarther out you are in trouble, the moretime it takes for us to help you.

Never rely on an artificial flotation de-vice in place of actual swimming ability.These devices just give swimmers a falsesense of security, because in the surf thatflotation could be lost and suddenly makethe user an actively drowning victim.

The ocean and beach are wonderfulplaces to enjoy a summer day; just re-member that the ocean is not the same asa neighborhood pool. Our first priority isto keep all beach patrons safe, but wecannot control the ocean. When hazardsexist where people are swimming, it isour job to guide them out of harms wayor, when necessary, to swim out and as-sist them back to safety. Our job is madeeasier when we have their patience, un-derstanding and assistance. Remember,if you hear a whistle, take the time to stopwhat you are doing and look toward thesurf rescue technician who is attemptingto get someone’s attention. It might beyou and if you need help, you shouldwave your arms over your head indicat-ing to the SRT that you need their assis-tance. To help us keep you safe, alwayscheck in with the lifeguard on the standand never go in the ocean if the beach pa-trol is not on duty.

Each year, the veteran (returning) guards re-qualify and re-certify so that you can be sure thatevery guard on the stand continues to meet all of our rigorous physical standards and trainingrequirements. Surf rescue technicians have to complete a 300-meter soft sand sprint in 65 orfewer seconds and complete a 500-meter swim in fewer than 10 minutes. Crew Chief GregEvanoff re-qualified last Saturday with a time of 6.25 for the swim.

Jesse’s Paddle fundraiser on July 21 to benefit suicide prevention(June 29, 2012) Dozens of canoes and

kayaks will fill the Pocomoke River inSnow Hill on Saturday, July 21, in supportof the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund.

The event, “Jesse’s Paddle,” supportsthe non-profit fund in its effort to endyouth suicide, host support groups forsurvivors of suicide victims and to providescholarships to Snow Hill High Schoolgraduates. Besides great boating, therewill be live music, food, beverages and asilent auction

Participants ask their friends, familymembers and colleagues to “sponsor”them and 100 percent of the pledges goes

to the missions. “Absolutely everything — the prizes,

the beverages and snacks, the canoes,kayaks and the live music — is donated,”said fund Treasurer Ron Pilling. Past pad-dles supported the Worcester CountyYouth Suicide Awareness and PreventionProgram and provided for a $12,000scholarship in both 2011 and 2012.

Paddlers leave the dock and search forthree “clues,” which reveal facts aboutyouth suicide and are exchanged forprizes. The entire route covers less thantwo miles of the most beautiful river onthe Eastern Shore.

“While youth suicide is not exactly ajoyful topic,” Pilling said, “we think itmore than appropriate to have some funwhile raising money to end it.”

“Gathering pledges is key to our abilityto teach suicide ‘first aid’ and Jesse’s Paddleis our most important annual fundraiser,”said suicide prevention Program ManagerHope Hutira-Green. Hutira-Green speaksat schools, churches and community or-ganizations about suicide prevention anddistributes awareness and prevention liter-ature countywide. Worcester County suf-fers from suicide rates higher than bothstate and national averages.

The Paddle begins at 5 p.m. on Saturday,July 21, at the canoe company next to thedrawbridge in Snow Hill. If paddlers needa canoe, a standup paddleboard, a two-per-son kayak or a solo kayak, they should callthe shop at 410-632-3971 to reserve one inadvance. Participants are encouraged totake their own boat if they have one.

“We welcome anyone to paddle withus, or to support us with a tax-deductibledonation,” said Pilling.

Forms for collecting pledges, informa-tion on the Paddle and the scholarship,are available by calling 443-982-2716 orvisiting www.jessespaddle.org.

“This is only my 11th year here but themarket has been here forever,” she joked.

During her time in the Berlin market,she helped transform it into a producers-only market. Because of hers and others’efforts, each vendor is now checked forauthenticity to make sure he or she is notonly cultivating the food as claimed, butthat he or she is selling their food.

“Less than 20 percent of your standcan be other people’s products,” Jordansaid. “It keeps everyone honest. I went toevery vendor’s farm and watched howthey grew everything, what they used andhow they harvested it. Plus, I got sometips from them on how they were doingthings and got to share a few of mine!”

While everyone is checked for honestyat the door, so-to-speak, others empha-sized their connection with the earth andeach other due to that legitimacy. JayMartin of Provident Organic Farm in Bi-valve, Md., farming since 1985, uses onlynaturally organic substances including in-secticides like those from chrysanthemumflowers and, along with others, offers thebeautiful perspective of the farmers’ mar-ket community not always seen from theoutside.

“Organic farmers want to help eachother and share knowledge. Conventional

farming is based on fear. Is there going tobe enough rain? Is a bug going to come inand wipe out all my crops? I don’t worryabout things like that. Mother Nature hasbeen doing this a lot longer than any of ushave and she’s always provided,” he ex-plained, “We’re arrogant to think weknow better than Mother Nature. If a bugcomes in, I don’t spray everything or freakout; I wait and see what happens. Maybeif a bad bug comes in, that means a goodbug will come in and that bad bug will bea food source for him. It’s the attitude andmindset of us that’s most important. Youhave to honor the ecosystem.”

Martin noted Rodale Institute’sfounder J.I. Rodale, who coined the term“organic” in 1947.

“The Rodale Institute has a saying,‘Healthy soil makes healthy plants, and

healthy plants make healthy people,’” hesaid. “I have a couple of feet perimeteraround my garden where I mow, but in-side my garden I just leave it alone. Whatcomes up, comes up, and Mother Naturetakes care of the rest.”

Elise Jett, of Holly Hill HomemadeGoods in Parsonsburg sells her bakedgoods and other produce that she makesfrom natural ingredients.

“This is our first full-time year,” she de-scribed, “We visit six markets a week, Ibake everything out of my farm kitchen,and we can everything ourselves.”

Most of her baked goods come fromfamily recipes and trial and error, butmost importantly, they use all local fruitsand vegetables as ingredients. From localhoney, to ducks and chickens on her farm,everything sold at her stand comes fromthe area.

“It’s great to have return business, loyalcustomers, and tourists alike come andenjoy,” she said.

While most of the farmers of the areagrow everything naturally, others areUSDA Certified Organic such as Dave andCheryl Wiley of Herbs, Spice, EverythingNice of Selbyville, Del. Dave described theprocess of being certified as “very diffi-cult” and requiring “lots of paperwork andrecord keeping.

“We really try to go the extra mile andeducate the community about the benefitsof buying local. It’s very rewarding to havesomeone you sold something to last weekcome up and you’re thinking, ‘Oh no,something went wrong!’ and having it be

exactly the opposite, they say, ‘Man I lovedthat heirloom squash,’ or ‘Those tomatoeswere delicious!’ It’s great to help the com-munity learn how to support itself.”

Dave also does not use any insecti-cides. Instead, he gets beneficial insectsthat prey on bad bugs with hopes that ifhis crops provide a compatible environ-ment, they will transfer with the plantsfrom the greenhouse to the field when heplants them.

Other benefits of local farmers’ mar-

kets that one may not expect are peoplelike Tiffanie Nichols, who attends theBerlin Farmers’ Market free of charge asa Master Gardener. Nichols is there aspart of the University of Maryland Exten-sion and she answers questions aboutpests, plants, problems and their solu-tions. Each day she welcomes about 15 to20 visitors who come to her with issuesthey might be having, or simply what todo with something.

“People come up to me with questions

from, ‘How do I get rid of this bug in mygarden?’ to ‘What kind of stuff should Imake with this herb?’ or even landscaperswho ask me, ‘What plant would reallybrighten up this lawn?” she said.

Some of the other farmers have takenadvantage of Nichols and her bright redstand by playing a game Elise Jett of HollyHill called “Stump the Tiff” where theybring her questions and problems to tryand stump her.

“The most important thing I want topublicize is that I’m here as a service to thecommunity,” Nichols emphasized, “I’mhere to help them and everyone else andit’s free. I’m here to help the communitywith any plant problems they mighthave.”

‘Mother sauces’ are starting points for making secondary blends

(June 29, 2012) Cooking sauces can bean intimidating experience. However, onceone understands the cooking process; it iseasier to make cognizant decisions.

Knowledge and experience free thenovice chef from being bound by a cook-book and instead allow the individual totrust his own instincts and imagination.The intention to demystify culinary tradi-tion and uncover its true purpose is thebasis for today’s discussion.

The term “mother sauce” refers to anyone of five basic sauces, which are thestarting points for making various second-ary sauces. They are called mother saucesbecause each one is like the head of its ownunique family of sauces. Béchamel,Veloute, Espagnole, Hollandaise and clas-sic tomato are the glorious “five.” Follow-ing is a brief description that allows one tosee the distinction and differences.

Béchamel is probably the simplest ofthe mother sauces because it does not re-quire making stock. Milk, flour and butterare the major components. The sauce ismade by thickening hot milk with a whiteroux. It is then flavored with onions, clovesand nutmeg and simmered until it is very

creamy and smooth.Veloute is another

relatively simple mothersauce. Veloute is madeby thickening whitestock with roux and thensimmering until itreaches the desired con-sistency. There are three

versions of veloute: chicken, veal and fish.Each of the veloutes forms the basis of itsown respective secondary mother sauce.For example, chicken veloute incorporatedwith cream becomes a supreme sauce. Vealveloute thickened with a liaison of egg yolksand cream becomes an Allemende sauce.And the fish veloute fortified with wine andcream becomes a white wine sauce.

The Espagnole sauce, also sometimescalled brown sauce, is a more complexmother sauce. Espagnole is made bythickening brown stock with roux. It isalso made with tomato puree, celery, car-rots, and onions for deeper color and fla-vor. In addition, the brown stock itself ismade from bones that have been roasted,which again adds to the color and aroma.

The Espagnole is traditionally refinedto produce the rich, delectable sauce calleda demi-glaze. The demi-glaze is a startingpoint for making other various sauces.

Hollandaise is a tasty, buttery saucemade by slowly whisking clarified butterinto warm egg yolks. Regular buttershould be avoided when making Hol-landaise. Whole butter contains water andmilk solids, which can break the emul-

sion. Clarified butter is pure butterfat, soit helps the emulsion remain stable.

Classic tomato is the fifth mothersauce. The sauce resembles the traditionaltomato sauce, but it is much more palat-able and requires a few more steps tomake.

Aromatic vegetables rendered in saltpork are the first step in developing a fra-grant classic tomato sauce. Then one addstomatoes, stock and a ham bone andbakes in the oven at a low temperature forthree hours. This process develops richflavors and much more depth, which re-sults in a delicious tomato sauce. Tradi-tionally, the sauce was thickened with aroux and some chefs still prepare it thisway. But in reality, the tomatoes them-selves are enough to thicken the sauce.

Pasta is a favorite dish year-round.Linguini nestled on a grilled portabellacap, embellished with creamy, wild mush-room sauce makes a stunning appetizer ormain course. The dish is not calorie-free,but it is well worth every bite!

Fabulous Three Tenors,Diva plan July shows in OP

The Fabulous Three Tenors and a Diva, featuring tenors Antonio Buonauro, James Gafgen andThomas Bethman and the Diva, Donna Buonauro, will perform two shows next month at the Com-munity Church at Ocean Pines.


Stevens said he will reference GordonKatz’s book, “102 Gentlemen & A Lady,”a narrative of the earliest days of OceanCity and the people who invested in andfounded the town. It contains the biogra-phies of the 102 men and one woman thatformed the Atlantic Hotel Company.

“People find the history of Ocean Cityinteresting. I’ll talk about Ocean City fromthe very beginning, when the railroadcame into town, the first hotels and thepeople involved with the development ofthe resort,” he said. “Women startedmany of the hotels, while the men wereinvolved in the pound fishing industry.Pound fishing became the second mostimportant industry. Hotels were the first.”

Stevens will address the 1933 hurri-cane, which created the inlet, and the1962 storm that pushed tides higher than9 feet and raised the sea crest to 40 feetoff the coast of Ocean City.

On Wednesdays, Don Schaefer andJoe Britvch of the Coast Guard Auxiliary,will discuss boating safety and demon-strate how to tie various nautical knots,including those boaters use daily. Theywill show guests how to tie a figure eight,clove hitch, square knot and sheepshank,among others, including the “king ofknots,” the bowline.

“Once they learn to do [the bowline],everything else is easy,” Schaefer said.

They will describe each knot, explain

what they’re used for and show partici-pants how to tie them. Students will alsoreceive a sheet with steps to follow.

“We tell a little story with each knot tohelp them remember what it’s used for,”Schaefer said. “Kids in the 9, 10, 11, 12[age] range seem to pick it up much fasterthan adults.”

Added Britvch, “We really enjoy it. Outof all the activities in the Coast GuardAuxiliary I’m involved in — and I’m in-volved in many — I enjoy this the most.”

Hurley will lead Thursday’s “All AboutSharks” program. She will present factsand history about sharks, discuss the va-riety of species, how they find their preyand what makes them different fromother fish.

“It seems like everyone loves sharks,especially kids. They’re just fascinatingcreatures that people find so interesting,”

Daily programs focus on sharks,storms and safety, among othersContinued from Page 52

Scouts learn to tie nautical knots during one of the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum’s freesummer programs.

Hurley said. “There’s a lot of misinforma-tion out there regarding sharks.”

Visitors can view the replica of the1,210-pound tiger shark caught in the wa-ters off the coast of Ocean City on July 9,1983. She will also show skeletal jaws, finsand teeth, and share artifacts about thespecies.

On Fridays, Tom Wimbrow, vice pres-ident of the museum board of directors,will present the “Storm Warriors” pro-gram. Wimbrow will discuss what it waslike to serve in the U.S. Life-Saving Serv-ice, one of the forerunners of the CoastGuard, the duties they had, the equipmentthey used and experiences the men facedin the 1870s through early 1900s.

“We try to give them the basic under-standing of what it was like to be a mem-ber of the United States Life-SavingService,” he said.

Participants will tour the museum’sboat room, where they will see a rare ap-paratus cart, surfboat and life-car, Lyleguns and a breaches buoy, among numer-ous artifacts.

“The museum is one of the few placeswhere you can see a complete set of equip-ment all in one room. And, it’s all origi-nal,” he said.

After the program, participants can an-swer a few questions to receive a replicabadge worn by surfmen and a certificateof completion to become “Junior Surf-men.”

Saturdays will focus on feeding time atthe aquarium. Visitors will step inside themuseum’s aquarium room to catch a

glimpse of what lives in the water sur-rounding Ocean City and the Coastal Baysand watch the creatures eat.

Hurley said she typically starts by talk-ing about and feeding the small seahorses.

Guests enjoy seeing the sheepsheadfish eat, she said, because of its large sizeand that it has such sharp teeth.

The room has two 250-gallon tanksand several smaller ones filled with crea-tures such as toadfish, horseshoe crab,Blue crab and an American eel, amongothers.

Hurley will discuss the sea creatures,focusing on what and how they eat. Chil-dren will also have an opportunity to feedthem.

While the programs are free, admis-sion to the museum costs $3 for adults, $2for seniors (62 and over) and active mili-tary and $1 for children ages 6-17. Chil-dren 5 and younger are admitted free. TheOcean City Life-Saving Station Museumis part of Blue Star Museums, a programthat offers free admission for all activeduty, National Guard and reserve militarypersonnel and their families from Memo-rial Day through Labor Day.

Museum exhibits include Davy Jones’Locker, the aquarium room, Sands fromAround the World and The Boardwalk ofYesterday, among others. The museum’snewest exhibit, “Surf’s Up,” opened June20, and chronicles the history of surfingin Ocean City.
