(Aug. 24, 2012) The Berlin Fire Company re-sponded Thursday to charges that it has beenuncooperative with town officials, as the wavesof a months-long conflict over alleged harass-ment in the workplace by fire company mem-bers crested this week.

The row, which had been simmering sinceFebruary when a fire company employee com-plained to town offi-cials that he wasbeing unmercifullytaunted, broke intothe public view Tues-day with the town’sdeclaration that itwould cease fundingthe fire company im-mediately.

The official state-ment, released byMayor Gee Williamswith the council’sbacking, stated theirdecision to withdrawthe town’s financial support — $560,000 thisfiscal year, 29 percent of the company’s budget— is because of the company’s refusal to abideby town government’s personnel policies thatwould otherwise cover the paid emergencymedical services employees.

“Over the past six months, the Mayor andCouncil have done all that we can within ourlegal and moral authority to protect the rightsof the paid EMS personnel who have beenworking as leased employees under the termsof an agreement enacted Jan. 1, 2009,”Williams said in his statement.

“The Fire Company has been unsuccessful inits attempts to prevent some volunteer mem-bers from harassing Berlin’s paid EMS employ-ees in the workplace that the Town firmlybelieves is both unacceptable and illegal.”

The 2009 agreement to which Williams re-ferred allowed the fire company’s paid EMSpersonnel to become “leased” employees of thetown, thus making them eligible under InternalRevenue Service standards for state govern-ment health and retirement benefits.

But with that agreement, Williams’ state-ment continued, the town had to assume con-

(Aug. 24, 2012) Much like an ill-fatedtrade of lunches in a grade-school cafete-ria, Ocean City may have to learn the hardway about the “no backsies” policy in re-gards to the city’s upcoming renovation ofSt. Louis Avenue.

Despite the initial appeal of trading inthe soggy, steamed asparagus of expen-sive infrastructure upgrades for thechocolate cupcake of cost savings, it seemsthat City Council may wish to now swingthe opposite way in light of other recentdiscussions lauding the benefits of under-ground utilities.

When the time came at Monday’smeeting to approve the city’s solicitationof bids from contractors for the first phaseof the upcoming work, the council in-dicted that it might be willing to consideradding the installation of below-groundelectrical and communications lines backinto the project.

“But if we consider this, it’s going to costmore money and will delay the project?”queried Councilwoman Margaret Pillas.

“Well, the pre-bid meeting is tomor-row,” said city Public Works Director HalAdkins.

A renovation of St. Louis has been inthe works for several years, although theinitial plans for the project were consider-ably more grandiose. With the goal of set-ting the avenue up to expand as aresidential neighborhood and commuter

thoroughfare, City Engineer TerryMcGean’s initial layout for the street fea-tured underground utility wires and ca-bles to eliminate the use of telephonepoles. The initial approach also includedwidened sidewalks and bicycle lanes, anda traffic circle at the First Street intersec-tion to eliminate snarls caused by the dog-leg in the street.

But due to budgetary constraints, theproject has been continually scaled down,something, which McGean previously de-scribed as a “permanent compromise so-lution.”

“The underground utilities are not in-cluded,” Adkins said Monday. “The valueof that infrastructure, even as a skeleton,is in the millions. With all due respect, thiswas brought up in March and you dis-cussed it, then the bond issuance came upin May and you discussed it then as well.I don’t know how else to put it, but thehorse is out of the barn and down the roada good distance.”

Previously, council had weighed – andultimately denied – a request by DelmarvaPower for a substation expansion in theuptown Caine Woods neighborhood, inwhich residents were concerned about thefuture infrastructure impact on their com-munity. One of the things that was contin-ually mentioned was underground powerlines, specifically the fact that they wouldpresent less of an electromagnetic fieldhazard than overhead lines do.

“This corridor is a main corridorthrough the town and it’ll be a long time

before we can do this again,” lamentedCouncilman Joe Hall, who cited theroughly 20-year interval between majorstreet excavations. “I know they’re differ-ent [Caine Woods and St. Louis Avenue],since these aren’t distribution lines,they’re transmission lines and that’s a dif-ferent animal, but the positive impact tothe community [is the same].”

“The value is there,” Hall continued.“I’ll keep trying to put that horse back inthe barn.”

Adkins later noted that, while he appre-ciated the council’s consideration for theproject, adding the utility improvementsback into the project presented a logisticalnightmare. When he had supervised asimilar overhaul of Baltimore Avenue inthe 1990s, Adkins said that getting thecity’s service providers – Delmarva Power,as well as Comcast and Verizon – to agreeon any kind of proposal took nearly a year.

And at that time, Adkins was workingwith a much more flexible time frame as

well, given that the city was not workingwith contractors but was doing all of theactual construction and demolition usingits own staff. Ocean City used to maintaina much more robust internal building ca-pacity before the staffing cuts of recentyears, and the municipal building boom ofthe 1990s often earned the Public Worksdepartment the facetious nickname, “TheMr. Adkins Construction Company.”

In the current case, Adkins said hewould need to have construction begin byOctober so that “we could be up and run-ning again by April or May.”

Adding to the St. Louis Avenue projectwould also present debt difficulties for thecity, given that it has borrowed money forthe project against the bond market.When asked if the loans provided the fi-nancial wiggle room to add on to the proj-ect, Adkins said he “couldn’t speak onMartha’s [city Finance AdministratorMartha Bennett] behalf, but my guesswould be no.”

City Council remands substation expansion for more answers

(Aug. 24, 2012) In a somewhat less-than-common role reversal, the CityCouncil seemed to take the tone and atti-tude of fighting back “against the man”Monday night in remanding for furtherinvestigation a request for expansion byOcean City’s electricity provider, Del-marva Power, a subsidiary company ofthe Pepco energy conglomerate.

Last week, DP&L representatives ap-peared before the city’s Planning andZoning Commission to appeal for a con-ditional use of their property that encom-passes the block between 137th and 138th

Streets and Derrickson and SinepuxentAvenues.

Half the property has contained apower substation since 1974 and sincethen Delmarva Power bought and demol-ished the four homes on the other half ofthe block to make way for an expansion ofthe station.

DP&L public affairs head Jim Smithpreviously had explained that the expan-sion was needed to install a Static VarCompensator at the facility.

“In layman’s terms, it’s a boosterpump,” he said, noting that the city’spower comes entirely from plants far tothe north and flows down throughDelaware. Delmarva Power has no linesrunning across the bay bridge to the northor at the Chesapeake’s southern end at thebay bridge-tunnel between Virginia’sEastern Shore and Virginia Beach.

Because the transmission is so longand because Ocean City’s population fluc-

tuates rapidly, the grid is often unablecompensate quickly enough, resulting involtage drops and spikes. The SVC wouldcompensate for that, Smith said.

The attitude taken by the P&Z Com-mission last week, as well as by the councilon Monday, was that the compensatorwas clearly an essential improvement.The sticking point, however, was the ex-tent to which DP&L had considered theimpact to the surrounding communityand the extent to which it had been clearand forthright in its findings.

But whereas P&Z had found that thecompany’s plans were good enough forpreliminary approval, the council wasmore stringent and ultimately votedunanimously to send the application backto P&Z for further investigation into anumber of questions that council foundhad not been put to rest.

The city’s say in how DP&L uses itsland comes from the fact that utility dis-

tribution facilities are considered “condi-tional uses” in “2a” residential zoningareas, the designation that applies to thatarea. Conditional uses are ones that arepermitted in a given zone, but must bespecifically approved by the city beforethey can be implemented, as they mayhave an undue impact on the intendedfunction of the district.

“What you have to find is that the bur-dens of this use are more severe at thisparticular location than would be at otherlocations that have the same zoning,” saidCity Solicitor Guy Ayres. Proving that thislocation is particularly detrimental is theresponsibility of the council, Ayres re-minded them. Conversely, DP&L is notresponsible for going to every similar lo-cation in the city and determining the oneof least impact.

“But this [the 137th Street location] hasmore population than other areas that

City to have expert recommendsolution for Rivendell lighting

(Aug. 24, 2012) Although not yet goneentirely, the dispute over the brightness ofthe lights at the Rivendell condominiumson 81st Street may be nearing a close, asthe City Council approved hiring a light-ing contractor to work with city engineer-ing staff in proposing a solution for thesurrounding neighborhood.

Since it was built nearly five years ago,Rivendell has been the source of consid-erable controversy. Soon after construc-tion was complete, the city learned thatthe seven-story edifice was four feethigher than what was allowed under thezoning code.

Although a variance was subsequentlygiven, the building was put in the publiceye again two years ago when residents ofthe Bay Princess building, a smaller struc-ture which borders Rivendell to the northacross 81st Street, began to complain thatRivendell’s exterior lights were brighterthan was reasonable and disturbed theircondos.

At Monday’s meeting, Bay Princess

unit owner and condo association repre-sentative Andy Anders requested the cityto “re-explore the lighting situation” afterthe passage last year of a city ordinancecodifying the Planning and Zoning De-partment’s normative standards for illu-mination.

“We now know that they [Rivendell’sbuilders] did not subscribe to the con-trolled and directed lighting ordinance,”Anders said.

However, the building is no longerunder the control of its developers sincethe implementation of a condo associa-tion.

“There’s a new board and we’re work-ing together with very good communica-tion,” Anders said. “This is a horrificexample of what can happen and I’m ask-ing you to step up and chair a potential so-lution,” Anders continued, recommendingthat the city recruit a lighting expert tosuggest solutions for the neighborhood,and possibly even fund the retrofitting ofany light-mitigating devices.

Anders said he and city Zoning Admin-istrator R. Blaine Smith had experi-mented with shielding the lights usingimprovised devices, something thatneeded to be investigated further in amore professional manner.

“We’d like to be able to present somereal options. It’s never been explored, al-

Residents of the adjacent Bay Princess building say that the external lighting of the Rivendellcondominiums is unreasonably bright. A multi-year dispute between the buildings may soon beresolved, as the city as approved a request by Bay Princess unit owners to allow city staff to workwith a lighting contractor to recommend solutions for the neighborhood.

Effect of EMF levels on health has never been conclusively provenhave the same P&Z restrictions, such asthe 100th Street station or even someplace in Delaware,” said CouncilwomanMary Knight, alluding to the fact that137th Street is in the Caine Woods neigh-borhood, which contains a large numberof permanent residents.

The compensator could be built atother substations on the island, such as100th Street or across the bay, but DP&Lhad determined that these would be lessefficient and cost-effective.

“If you find that there’s been a changein the neighborhood, that the buildup ofthe area has been single-family homessince it was zoned in 1974, that could be abasis for you to say that expansion at thislocation would be more detrimental thanother locations in town,” Ayres added.

Knight, along with fellow Council-woman Margaret Pillas, initially movedfor an outright denial of DP&L’s request,which would mean the company wouldhave to wait one year to re-apply.

“The denial gives DP&L another yearto figure this out. Why can’t we get it moreinto a commercial area, as well as some ofthe other suggestions that were made?”Pillas asked.

Knight said she “noted three major con-cerns” that had come out of last week’s

P&Z meeting, “one, which was publicsafety, namely the exposure of the resi-dents to EMF, two, the noise, and three,the effect of the substation on property val-ues. They were not addressed to the satis-faction of the neighborhood,” Knight said.

Knight noted specifically that the testi-mony of resident Bruce Davis that he“feels like I’m living on the edge of an in-dustrial zone” was never responded to.

“DP&L just arbitrarily bought propertyin the area,” Knight said. “Maybe theyneed to show some other power compa-nies that have done this in the past whereit has not affected property value.”

But EMFs — electromagnetic fields,generated by high-voltage electrical con-duction — created the most discussionduring the previous P&Z hearing. The ef-fect of EMF levels on human health hasnever been conclusively proven, but ex-perts say that this may be because an ef-fective long-term test of EMF exposurewould be impossible to facilitate.

Several Caine Woods residents, partic-ularly former Councilman Vince Gisriel,had voiced concerns that DP&L wasspending more effort trying to lobby forthe harmlessness of EMF levels than ac-tually looking into the substation’s poten-tial EMF production in detail.

“They didn’t address the EMF of the

additional overhead lines going in there,”Knight said. “And they never said whatpercent is ‘peak’ and what percent is ‘off-peak’ in the data.”

Councilman Doug Cymek said he hadbeen in contact with a company calledEMF Services, which specializes in miti-gating EMF interference. “They have alltypes of equipment to mitigate the fieldand shield it. We’re all focused on what’shappening on the ground with the SVC,but the real issue is what’s up above us.That’s where most of the EMF is comingfrom, from what they’re telling me,”Cymek said.

“You get more from the power linesthemselves up on the poles than inside thecompound where this stuff would sit,”agreed Council Secretary Lloyd Martin. “Ithink DP&L needs to look at putting linesunderground.”

Knight and Pillas’ motion failed, how-ever, because the rest of council was notcomfortable with an outright denial, pre-ferring instead of have the P&Z commis-sioners work on the issue.

“If we send it back to P&Z they canwork through these details, otherwise it’sjust going to come back a year from now,”Martin said.

“I’m not ready to deny it, because it isa necessity,” concurred Councilman Brent

Ashley. “But the issues have to be ad-dressed further.”

Councilman Joe Hall then moved toremand the request back to P&Z, with cer-tain issues to be addressed. He was reluc-tant, however, to include the notion thatthe SVC could be built at another site.

“I just don’t see them moving it,” Hallsaid. “I don’t want to put an unrealistic ex-pectation out there on the public that thissubstation is going to go away.”

Hall’s motion passed unanimously.Mayor Rick Meehan added that hewould’ve been supportive of outright de-nial as well, had council chosen that route.

“We tried to send a message to DP&Llast time they were here as well,” Meehansaid. “I just want to say that I support thestance that was taken by Mary and Mar-garet, because I think it showed how bigof an issue this really is.”

At Tuesday night’s P&Z meeting, thecommission briefly discussed the coun-cil’s decision. “They didn’t say anythingderogatory about how we went about it,there are just some things that went unan-swered,” Commissioner Peck Miller said.“They need to sell Caine Woods on it.”Miller said the commission should pushfor a “crisper presentation” from DP&Lwith harder data about property valuesand EMF levels.

Benefit Saturday for uninsured OCBP guard

(Aug. 24, 2012) A benefit party and raf-fle for the Ocean City Beach Patrol andOCBP guard Chris McGervey – the victim

of a recent auto accident –will be held Saturday atthe Crabcake FactoryUSA on 120th Street, tocoincide with this week-end’s Uptown Bikini Bashevent.

McGervey - affection-ately nicknamed ‘Gravy’by his colleagues – was

injured on Aug. 4 as he rode his bicyclewestbound in the eastbound shoulder ofRoute 54. Briefly after crossing the bridgethat spans the channel leading to Light-house Cove, he collided with a Mercedes-Benz SUV.

According to police reports, the SUVwas traveling westbound as well, and at-tempted to make a left hand turn to headsouth on Madison Avenue. Not seeingMcGervey, the driver turned into his path,and the two collided with McGervey strik-ing the left front section of the vehicle.

McGervey suffered serious damage tohis right knee and left shoulder, as well asa punctured right lung and a concussionthat left him unconscious for some time.

“There’s a lot that I don’t remember,”McGervey said. “I actually know very lit-tle about the whole thing. I’m not reallysure how I got hit. From the point of view

that I remember, there was nothing infront of me.”

McGervey was airlifted from thebridge, and spent three days in the inten-sive care unit at Christiana Medical Cen-ter in Wilmington. McGervey will begoing into surgery today to repair his bro-ken left collarbone, which he said hasbeen the most difficult injury thus far.

Incidentally, McGervey was riding hisbicycle home from his beach patrol du-ties, and was only a block away from hisresidence when the accident occurred.This summer is his fifth with the OCBP.

“I’ve never dealt with someone on thejob who was as injured as I was,” McGerveysaid. “I don’t consider my job to be too dan-gerous, sometimes tense, but not danger-ous. This bridge, however, is dangerous.”

The bridge is extremely narrow andlacks a substantial westbound shoulder,McGervey noted, causing pedestrians andbicyclists to use the eastbound. “It’s thelast thing I was expecting, especially soclose to home,” he said. “It’s not an areawhere you have to drive, you can still walkto a lot of things around here, so there arepeople on the road. It can be pretty in-tense, and I thought I was being careful.”

McGervey has no insurance of hisown, and fears that the fact that he wastechnically traveling the wrong way onthe road may be grounds for the insur-ance provider of the woman who wasdriving the SUV to limit his claim.

“It’s all still up in the air now,” McGer-vey said.

(Aug. 24, 2012) After-school pro-grams at five Worcester County publicschools will be held for the first half ofthe school year, but their existenceafter that is uncertain.

The state Department of Educationis not renewing two grants for thoseprograms that totaled more than$637,000, Superintendent of SchoolsDr. Jerry Wilson told the WorcesterCounty Commissioners on Tuesday.

Those grants supported programsand services to more than 900 stu-dents at Buckingham Elementary,Berlin Intermediate, Pocomoke Mid-dle, Snow Hill Middle and Berlin Mid-dle schools.

Wilson said county’s public schoolsare again ranked No. 1 in the state andthose after-school programs are part ofthe reason for that success. In additionto helping students scholastically, theafter-school programs supply a snackor a hot meal, a significant contribu-tion to students, many of whom arefrom low-income households. Theyalso provide a safe place for the stu-dents.

(Aug. 24, 2012) Maryland public schoolsbegin opening next week, as more than 1million students prepare to start the 2012-2013 school year.

All Maryland school systems will be insession before September for the secondconsecutive year. The first to open werePrince George’s County Public Schools,which welcomed students Aug. 20. TheSEED School of Maryland, the statewidepublic residential school, was also sched-uled to start that day.

Worcester County Public Schools, likeschools in most Maryland counties, willopen Monday, Aug. 27. By the time allschools have opened their doors on Aug.27, more than 850,000 students in gradeskindergarten through 12 will fill class-rooms and another 250,000 children willbe involved in some form of pre-kinder-garten, Head Start or a licensed childcareprogram.

The county’s private schools — MostBlessed Sacrament Catholic School nearOcean Pines, Seaside Christian Academyin West Ocean City and WorcesterPreparatory School in Berlin — will openAug. 27, Sept. 4 and Sept. 5, respectively.

Maryland’s highly regarded publicschool system, ranked first in the nationfor the fourth consecutive year by theleading education newspaper, is continu-ing to move forward under the directionof new state Superintendent Lillian M.Lowery. The state’s system is entering the

third year of its $250 million Race to theTop program, which is remaking Mary-land classrooms by strengthening educa-tional standards, building a newtechnology infrastructure, improvingteacher and principal preparation andevaluation and providing support to low-performing schools.

“Our state is committed to supportinginnovative education programs for allschools, making absolutely certain thereare improved classrooms in every neigh-borhood,” Lowery said. “We are workingto strengthen instruction and boost rigorfor our students. Maryland schools arelooking forward to another safe, produc-tive, and exciting year.”

On Wednesday, Worcester Countyschool officials gave introductory remarksto assembled teachers at each of thecounty’s high schools in Berlin, Snow Hilland Pocomoke. New Superintendent Dr.Jerry Wilson, who was appointed earlierthis summer following the retirement ofWorcester’s long-time school head Dr.Jon Andes, praised his staff’s resolve.

“We have a tremendous staff…peoplerave about you in the community,” Wilsonsaid during his remarks at Stephen De-catur High School in Berlin. “That’s whywe have the level of results we have. Butit’s still ongoing work.”

Enrollment in Maryland public schoolshas been on a steady rise for the past threeyears. After reaching a high point of869,113 students in 2004, enrollment fellto 843,861 by 2009. Since then it has re-bounded, reaching 854,086 students last

school year — the state’s highest enroll-ment level since 2007.

In Worcester County, the public schoolpopulation is 6,693 students. Of these,Superintendent for Instruction Dr. JohnGaddis noted, 4,371 are part of the north-end zone that funnels students to StephenDecatur High School.

Gaddis also addressed the widespreadconcern amongst teachers that new stateand federal mandates regarding studentand teacher evaluations will make fair as-sessments more difficult.

“The success of this county will con-tinue because of our staff, regardless ofthe assessment method or current educa-tional initiative,” Gaddis reassured the as-sembly at Stephen Decatur.

Worcester County Teachers’ Associa-tion President Helen Schoffstall alsospoke on the topic, specifically the indi-vidualized objective system that she andGaddis have helped develop in order tocomply with new state standards whilestill maintaining teacher confidence.

“You’re going to be working with yourprincipals to develop these evaluationgoals... this is not a ‘gotcha’ like I feel it hasbeen elsewhere,” Schoffstall said.

The state’s student population also hasexperienced major changes over the pastdecade. Maryland has been a majority-minority state for several years. Whitestudents represent 42 percent of the stu-dent population, followed by African-American students, who make up nearly35 percent of the student population.

Hall: answer going to come from Rivendell boardthough we were pretty close using a card-board box and a trashcan lid,” Anderssaid.

“I’ve been up there and it is like a boat,”said Councilwoman Margaret Pillas, pre-sumably referring to Council PresidentJim Hall’s comment some years ago thatRivendell’s lights looked like a cruise shipdocking on the bay. “This ball somehowgot dropped a long time ago.”

Pillas told Anders that she was finewith the city helping to “define a productthat would work for Rivendell and foryourselves … as long as it doesn’t create aliability for the taxpayer.”

Pillas’ financial concerns were gener-ally echoed on council – city staff could

seek out and work with a lighting expert,but the city could not guarantee that itwould shoulder any outside costs.

“As far as taking the taxpayers’ moneyto resolve this, I just can’t go there,” saidCouncilman Doug Cymek.

Anders also implied that the city hadpreferred to move the issue through civilchannels rather than municipal ones toavoid implicating itself.

“I have a feeling that is why it was keptfrom the BZA [Board of Zoning Appeals]… it was approved negligently, and youwould probably be liable,” he said.

“When you got into the conspiracy the-ory, you lost me. I think we need to get be-yond the conspiracy, which I don’t agreewith,” retorted Mayor Rick Meehan.

The council ultimately voted 5-2 tosupport an outside recommendation,with Councilmen Joe Hall and Brent Ash-ley objecting to any civic involvement inwhat they saw as a private dispute.

“Quite frankly, if there’s a solution, Idon’t think putting forward city staff is theanswer. The answer is going to come fromthe board of Rivendell,” Joe Hall said.

“But they don’t know what to do,” saidPresident Hall, noting that light mitiga-tion was out of everyone’s expertise andthat the Rivendell board needed answersthat the city was unable to provide.

“The answer is money,” Joe Hall coun-tered. “As the mayor already said, this isprivate property. If they want to fix it, theywill.”

students who might not have it at homeor in the community,” Wilson said.

Because of the need for funds to oper-ate after-school programs, Wilson askedthe commissioners for financial assis-tance. The commissioners approved hisrequest for a budget transfer. The Boardof Education will transfer $270,055 fromthe categories of maintenance of plantand textbooks and classroom supplies tothe categories of instructional supportservices, instructional salaries, studenttransportation and fixed charges.

Commissioners Merrill Lockfaw andMadison Bunting voted against thebudget transfer. Bunting said he believedthe funds were needed for textbooks andsupplies.

Earlier, the Board of Education had al-located $63,000 by implementing budgetreductions.

Together, those funds will allow theafter-school programs to continue for halfof the school year. After that, Wilson said,he “could be back again.”

Commissioner Louise Gulyas said thecounty did not have any money to con-tribute. She told Wilson that staff shouldrun the programs instead of having paidcoordinators. She also suggested that viceprincipals run the programs.

Commissioner Virgil Shockley said hehoped the Board of Education could getmore grants for the programs and Wilsonsaid they had expected to get the grants.

“Our budget relied on grant funding,”Wilson said.


Programs continue temporarily

Both the white and African-American stu-dent populations have been in decline inrecent years. Hispanic students represent12 percent of the student body, whileAsian students account for nearly 6 per-cent. Both percentages are on the rise.Also increasing is the percentage of stu-dents identifying themselves as two ormore races. This accounts for nearly 4percent of Maryland students.

In Worcester County, 71 percent of thestudent population is white, while 22.84percent of the students are African-Amer-ican. The remaining 3.78, 1.81 and .57percent of students are Hispanic,Asian and American-Indian/Alaskan, re-spectively.

Worcester’s schools are consistently atthe top of the state’s rankings in terms ofthe proportion of students who demon-strate adequate proficiency on the Mary-land State Assessment test. Wilson alsonoted that Worcester has been successfulnot only in bringing up low-performingstudents to an acceptable level, but also inensuring that high-level students can goabove and beyond. He revealed that 59percent of the Advanced Placement testsgiven in Worcester’s high schools resultedin a qualifying score of a ‘3’ or higher –more than twice the state average.

Also increasing in the state’s schools isthe percentage of students coming fromcircumstances of poverty. Last year, 43percent of Maryland students were eligi-ble for free- or reduced-price meals, thefederal proxy for poverty. Ten years ear-lier, that tally stood at 29.7 percent —nearly a 50 percent increase over thedecade.

In Worcester, 39 percent students livein households at or below poverty and areeligible for Free and Reduced Meals.

(Aug. 24, 2012) If you want itdone right, sometimes you justhave to do it yourself.

This was the attitude taken bycity Planning and Zoning Com-missioner and local realtor PeckMiller, who moved to the otherside of the podium during Tues-day night’s P&Z meeting to pres-ent the commission with his ownproject — a redevelopment thatMiller said could serve as an ex-ample for improving any numberof the city’s abandoned lots orout-dated commercial structures.

“The town needs to show peo-ple, whether through me or oth-erwise, that this sort of thing canbe done and can work,” Miller said.

The project, which was metwith unanimous approval fromthe rest of the commission, willinvolve a multi-building, mixed-use complex on the west side ofCoastal Highway between 67thand 68th streets that can accom-modate retail, restaurant, and of-fice space tenants.

The signature element of theproject, Miller said, is that it willfeature an extensive wooden deckrunning across the front of thecomplex and between its separatebuildings, creating a public spaceakin to the Boardwalk that willkeep the area from simply being atourist funnel for the downtownarea.

“Making a midtown Board-walk is what I’m trying to dohere,” Miller said.

Miller is doing the projectalongside architect Jeff Schoel-lkopf, whose family owns the OldPro mini golf chain and has beenusing the vacant space between67th and 68th Streets as parkingfor the Old Pro course between68th and 69th. The new buildingwill have an extensive parking lot,allowing Old Pro to continue torent a portion of the spaces.

Miller noted that the buildingqualifies for a 20 percent parkingspace reduction credit, given itslow density. Although the struc-ture does not need the allowanceto be up to code, Miller noted thatit could be a boon later if anotherstructure was built to share thecomplex’s parking.

(Aug. 14, 2012) A business planwill be developed for the Casino atOcean Downs to take advantage of itsnew privilege to have entertainment,which was one part of the bill passedby the Maryland General Assemblyduring its special session convenedby Gov. Martin O’Malley last week.

Joe Cavilla, general manager ofthe Casino at Ocean Downs, said heand others would “sort through thebill” and devise a plan.

“We want to grow the businessand create jobs,” Cavilla said Tuesdayduring a meeting in Snow Hill of theLocal Development Council, thegroup mandated to oversee the use ofimpact funds from casino revenue.Cavilla is a council member.

Although the bill permits enter-tainment at Ocean Downs, the sort orsize of entertainment would be regu-lated by the Worcester County Boardof License Commissioners, which isresponsible for the issuance of alco-holic beverage licenses in the county.

“They’ll be treated just like any-body else,” County Attorney SonnyBloxom said.


Casino at Ocean Downs grant funds being spent

(Aug. 24, 2012) During a review ofthe Casino at Ocean Downs impactgrant funds, Ocean City Mayor RickMeehan said the recipients were follow-ing their original plans.

“They’re certainly supporting theseprograms as presented,” said Meehan,chairman of the Local DevelopmentCouncil, during Monday’s meeting ofthat group in Snow Hill.

The council was mandated by theMaryland General Assembly to overseethe impact grant funds, which are givento Worcester County, Ocean City, Berlinand Ocean Pines.

During the council’s June meeting,members decided to ask those entitiesgetting grant funds to tell the councilhow those funds are being used. Eachresponded with a letter.

The town of Berlin has received$309, 000 in revenues since the open-ing of the casino and has spent$250,000. The money was spent to buyland for a future community center andpolice station. After the land purchase ispaid off, the town plans to continueusing revenues from the impact fundsfor the construction of those buildings.

The town of Ocean City has received$657,850 in impact grant funds sincethe casino opened. That money wasused for street repair and replacement.

Worcester County received $1.97 mil-lion and spent $202,050. Those fundswere used to purchase eight publicsafety vehicles. It is expected that futureimpact funds will be used to retire debton the Worcester Technical HighSchool.

The Ocean Pines Association received$356,538 in grant funds and has notspent any. In his letter to the Local De-velopment Council, Ocean Pines Associ-ation General Manager Bob Thompsonwrote that the funds would be used “foroverdue road maintenance this fall.”

The Local Development Council’snext meeting is scheduled for Monday,Nov. 12, at the Government Office Cen-ter in Snow Hill.

To learn what types of entertainmentwould be permitted at the Casino atOcean Downs, the council will inviteThomas Coates, attorney for the Boardof License Commissioners, to attend itsnext meeting on Nov. 12.

The legislation legalizing slot ma-chines at five casinos permitted theCasino at Ocean Downs to have a singlepiano played by one person. It also per-mitted fireworks displays to be con-ducted on the property. That legislationalso specified that the Casino at OceanDowns could not offer the “playing oflive music, floor shows, dancing, danc-ing exhibitions, performances or anyother form of live entertainment in ornear the video lottery facility.” That sec-tion was deleted in the bill passed lastweek, thus permitting entertainment.

The prohibition against the buildingor operation “of a conference center orconvention center, amusement park,amusement rides, arcade or miniaturegolf course on or within 10 miles of theproperty” remains in effect.

Delegate Mike McDermott, a councilmember, said he had been reluctant forthe special session to take place, but thebill “is going to be great for WorcesterCounty specifically.”

The bill helps the casino owners be-cause it gives them the right to own orlease the slot machines and because itdecreases their tax liability. It also letsthem keep more of the profits.

The bill also mandates that Worces-ter, Cecil and Allegany counties willeach get an immediate $200,000 grantand after Baltimore gets a casinoopened, it will no longer get a cut off thetop of Worcester’s allocation.

The Casino at Ocean Downs could beopen non-stop. Gamblers could play theslot machines 24 hours a day if thecasino lengthens its hours.

“We would have the option,” Cavillasaid.

The biggest change to casino opera-tions would be the addition of tablegames, which would increase revenuefor the casinos and in Worcester, forOcean City, Berlin, Ocean Pines and thecounty, which all get a cut of the impactfunds based on the revenue.

According to the Workgroup to Con-sider Gaming Expansion, the additionof table games would have an estimatedannual fiscal impact of $51 million andwould create 1,900 to 2,300 new per-manent jobs.

The addition of table games and asixth casino, to be built in PrinceGeorge’s County, will be decided in areferendum in November. That sixthcasino would have up to 3,000 slot ma-chines.

“Hopefully, it’ll get ratified in No-vember,” said Sen. Jim Mathias, amember of the Local DevelopmentCouncil. “The voters will make the finaldecision. I think the referendum willpass.

The citizens, the state and the countywill benefit if the referendum passes,”Mathias said.

Franchot talks tax-free shopping

(Aug. 24, 2012) Comptroller PeterFranchot lauded the state’s tax-free weekduring his visit to the Tanger Outlets inWest Ocean City last Thursday, but heblasted Gov. Martin O’Malley special ses-sion on the gambling issue.

The first few days of the tax-free week,which ran from Sunday, Aug. 12 throughSaturday, Aug. 18, were “a huge success,”said Franchot, who was in Ocean City forthe Maryland Association of Counties an-nual summer conference.

During the state’s shopping promotion,qualifying clothing and shoes priced at$100 or less were exempt from the state’s6 percent sales tax.

Franchot said retailers loved the extrasales and he had been “particularly happyto see Delaware shoppers” in Maryland.Some shoppers liked the special savings somuch that they began inquiring about itearlier in the year.

“We’ve been getting calls for six monthsasking when it is,” he said.

The tax-free week occurs the secondSunday of August to the following Saturdayeach year, unless and until the legislaturedecides to revisit the issue.

The savings are the result of legislationpassed during the 2007 special session ofthe Maryland General Assembly.

While Franchot saw all good things onthat front, he was less than complimentaryabout O’Malley’s special session on gam-

bling issues, notably the sixth casino andthe addition of table games at the existingcasinos.

That session, he said, “was an exercise Ihad a lot of trouble watching. It was painfulto watch.”

The legislators, he said, voted to pass atax package giving the gambling industryup to 25 percent tax cuts while telling oth-ers that they will raise their taxes.

“It’s just damn unfair,” Franchot said.“It’s a damn disgrace.”

Casino moguls “have their tentacles inAnnapolis,” he said. “It makes me feel badfor the state to see the governor and themoguls in a back room making deals forcompanies that don’t need it.”

Franchot also said the special sessiongave the Casino at Ocean Downs “the rightto have amusement rides and entertain-ment,” but he was mistaken. It gave thecasino the right to have entertainment, butnot to have amusement rides.

On Monday, Franchot’s media officesaid he did not say the legislation allows thecasino to have amusement rides, but lateramended their response and said he meantto say “entertainment.”

Not only did Franchot say the casinocould have amusement rides, he said itwould be “competing with the Boardwalkwith all four feet” and that there is “a realcompetitive threat now with the Board-walk.”

His media office then said that Franchotwas comparing gambling with all forms ofentertainment, including amusement rides.

In April, Alli Sports, a divisionof the NBC Sports Group, an-nounced a four-year renewal of itspartnership with Mountain Dew,along with the 2012 Dew Tourschedule — Ocean City was stopNo. 1. The Ocean City Council inJanuary set aside Aug. 16-19, forthe East Coast leg of the 2012 DewTour, as requested by the tour’splanners.

On Aug. 6, workers beganbuilding a vertical ramp, Mega 2.0ramp, skateboard bowl and a BMXpark, on the beach, just north ofthe pier in downtown Ocean City.The crews completed the blocks-wide “Dew Tour Experience” justin time for Day 1 of the four-dayPantech Beach Championships onAug. 16.

The tour, now in its eighth year,was reshaped this year to show-case action sports in three large-scale, premium and “grand-slam”style events. The 2012 Dew Tourlocations are Ocean City, SanFrancisco, Oct. 18-21 (Toyota CityChampionships); and Brecken-ridge, Colo., (Mountain Champi-onships), Dec. 13-16.

“Our beach, city and mountaintheme provides a fresh and excit-ing direction for the sports toprogress, and each of the threeevents will draw inspiration fromthe host city to create its own iden-

tity,” Prybylo said last week. Events that took place in Ocean

City included the GoDaddy SurfExpression Session, Skate Vertand Skate Bowl contests, whichwere showcased last year. A SkateMega 2.0 competition and SkateBowl Legends event, were new tothe line-up.

BMX Park and Vert contestswere featured again this year in theresort along with the new BMXMega 2.0 and Dew Tour’s first-ever Flatland demonstration,where four athletes were chosen toshow off their skills.

Also, nine musical acts werefeatured throughout three days,Aug. 16-18.

“The beach in Ocean City wasthe perfect venue for the DewTour’s largest music line-up, pro-viding a fun and inviting atmos-phere for the fans,” Prybylo said.“The concerts on Friday and Sat-urday evening were well attendedand two of the largest in Dew Tourhistory, adding another layer to thevibe on the beach in Ocean City.”

The festival village, dubbed the“Dew Tour Experience” this year,was expanded to include moresponsor booths, autograph sign-ings and activities to reflect a trueexperience of the action sportslifestyle and culture.

This year, admission was freefor all competitions and concerts.

Before each competition, fanswaited in line to get into the venuethat particular contest was takingplace in.

“We wanted to make the DewTour Pantech Beach Champi-onships accessible to everyone,”Prybylo said.

A limited number of premiumpasses were available. Those tick-ets guaranteed fans a seat for thatday’s competitions as well as DewTour swag and exclusive sou-venirs.

According to the Demoflushstatistics, which uses wastewaterflows to estimate the city’s popula-tion, approximately 296,268 peo-ple were in town over the weekend(Saturday and Sunday average), anincrease from 292,647 who visitedthe same weekend in 2011.

“I think the event was very ex-citing to watch. The athletes arejust amazing and the venue on thebeach looked great,” said DonnaAbbott, Ocean City’s tourism andmarketing director. “I saw manyfamilies enjoying the event andfoot traffic on the Boardwalk andbusiness throughout the townseemed to be bustling.”

Abbott presented awards to thewinners of the Skateboard Vertand BMX Park contests. The townalso gave a “local award” — a statuein the shape of a wave — to the topfinishers in each competition.

Susan Jones, executive director of theOcean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant As-sociation said rooms were available earlylast week, but by Friday only a handfulwere still vacant. There are about 108Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Associationlodging members (hotels, motels andsome apartments) with approximately9,200 rooms. Last Saturday, all memberproperties were sold out.

“It was probably the busiest weekendof the summer as far as walk-ins andeveryone being filled up. We had themost walk-ins at the visitor center (insidethe Ocean City convention center on 40thStreet) than we had all summer. Wehelped 38 sets of people who came inwithout reservations,” Jones said. “Wehad a hard time finding rooms becauseeveryone was sold out. It was a strongweekend for hotels and restaurants arereporting the same.”

The Dew Tour is broadcast live onNBC and NBC Sports Network andstreamed live on dewtour.com. The DewTour Pantech Beach Championships wasscheduled to be showcased across 11broadcast hours on NBC and NBC SportsNetwork and an all-new digital platformwith live streaming, exclusive behind thescenes and in-depth content on dew-tour.com.

In 2011, Dew Tour Pantech Openbroadcasts were made available in morethan 200 million households in morethan 50 countries.

“Certainly there is a positive impact onour economy with an event of this mag-nitude, but it also brings the town in-creased exposure with the nationaltelevision coverage,” Abbott said lastweek. “Last year’s Dew Tour brought thetown over 900 million impressions(number of views an ad can receive),which is tremendous in terms of promot-ing Ocean City.”

On Tuesday, Abbott said she had notyet received any data from Dew Tour or-ganizers about this year’s broadcast inte-gration and worldwide distribution.

“As far as the economic impact, I’msure it was favorable with the addedtourism and especially the TV exposure.The exposure on NBC was tremendous,”she said. “If it’s anything like what we hadlast year, it will be significant.”

Jones watched a few competitionbroadcasts and said it was “cool to see ourbeach on national television.”

“We were so fortunate to get the DewTour,” she said. “They picked one beach,city and mountain location this year andwe were the beach venue. That’s prettysweet.”

The Tour got under way later this yearbecause of the Olympics, which werebroadcast on NBC. Earlier dates — June20-23 — are being considered for theDew Tour’s return to Ocean City in 2013.

“We are excited to continue the dia-logue with the city about the possibility toreturn in 2013,” Prybylo said. “We arestill working through the details, but wehave formally held the 2013 dates withthe city and hope to make a collective de-cision with the city officials in a timelymanner.”

Strategic planneeded for townEditor,

I was very pleased to hear thatthe mayor and council supported[City Manager] Mr. [David] Recor’sinitiative of building a strategicplan for the town. Although thismay sound pretty boring to most ofus, it could be a huge step forward.

Ocean City, like most govern-ment entities (and many busi-nesses), simply produces aone-year operating budget that setstargets for current revenues andexpenses. A strategic plan looksinto the future and goes beyond asingle set of numbers. The plan willarticulate who we are, what we do,what we want to be and, most im-portantly, how to get us there.

Some components of the planwill be very interesting and telling— the town’s vision/mission state-ment will articulate how ourelected officials see us now and inthe future. The analysis of ourtown’s strengths, weaknesses, op-portunities and threats will crystal-lize their views. A competitiveanalysis will compare us to othersimilar towns, such as VirginiaBeach.

Perhaps the most important el-ement is the creation of a real mar-keting plan that supports thisoverall strategic plan and would bea key component of getting uswhere we want to be. The debateover renewing the MGH contract isnot as relevant as establishing amarketing plan. Our current mar-keting seems to be an elementaryadvertising process that produces

ads to increase tourism. These adscertainly must have some impact,but there is no direct evidence tomeasure their effectiveness.

A marketing plan will take ourgoals of “what we want to be” and“who we want to attract” and buildan advertising campaign to do so.It will incorporate critical measure-ments to gauge its effectiveness.Most importantly, it should gathermuch needed information and an-swers to questions like “Why dopeople choose to come to OceanCity,” “Why are people choosing togo elsewhere,” “How do visitorsand potential residents view us ver-sus our competition,” etc.

The building and execution ofthe plans will require the inclusionof all interested parties and it willbe essential for the mayor andcouncil to compromise and coop-erate on critical visions and ideolo-gies to reach the desired results.

Resent’s smokersbeing called ‘riff-raff’Editor,

I am so glad to see that someonewas bold enough to speak out onthe subject of smoking in OceanCity. All these derogatory com-ments are going way over the top.Thank you, Mr. Shipley, for point-ing out there is more contributingto the unhealthy air in OC than cig-arette smoke. Enough already!

In Zack Hoopes’ story [in the]Aug. 10 [issue of Ocean CityToday], he quoted outrageous ac-cusations. How could he quote

someone that denigrates our city sobadly?

Our families have been comingto the beach since the 1950s, andwe have owned real estate throughthe years and own property now. Iresent being called “riff-raff” be-cause I smoke. You people whokeep saying “Ocean City” has lostits family-friendly atmosphereneed to get your nose out of the airand observe the groups of 20, 30and 40 family members enjoyingour beach as “tradition” year afteryear. Please direct your energy inmore worthy endeavors and leaveour “Ocean City” alone.

Daughter knows uncondtional loveEditor,

Over the past 24 years, I feel asthough I have grown a lot. I havemade mistakes, some larger thanothers, I have cried, I have wonsome, and lost some, been on track,and off track. But most of all I havelearned a lot, and the greatest les-son I’ve learned thus far is from myparents — love.

Many of you may not know thatI am adopted, which to me, meansthat my first lesson in love startedeven before I was born. To this day,my mother swears she woke upearly on Nov. 27 with a feeling deepin her heart that her daughter hadbeen born.

My second lesson in love waswhen I was in elementary school,my mother taught me that a

Ocean City Today

Picking a side in the dispute between the Town of Berlinand the Berlin Fire Company would appear to be easy. Thefacts of the case seem obvious and clear.

As is generally the situation in most major disagree-ments, however, the situation is more complicated than that.

The public can only guess, for instance, as to the natureof the transgression that company members are alleged tohave committed, because the town’s accusations employ thebroad language of federal law in order to protect itself andthe people involved. That’s both understandable and theprescribed course in these sorts of things.

But at the same time, the law encompasses so much inthe area of illegal behavior in the workplace that the publicmight conclude that the company is guilty of the worst of it:racial discrimination and sexual harassment.

That isn’t the case. What occurred, according to numer-ous sources, was more about unrelenting taunting and, insome regards, bullying.

The fire company, meanwhile, contends that it addressedthat particular problem months ago and did everything thetown demanded of it, except for one: place all scheduling ofEMS shifts in the hands of the town.

Again, the town wants to protect itself, but because theeight paid EMS employees are assisted and backed up by 38volunteers whose personal schedules vary, the companysays that’s just not practical.

As progressive as the town has become, the last thing itneeds is to be labeled unsympathetic or worse in matters in-volving harassment in the workplace. No one can blame of-ficials for wanting to guard the town’s rapidly rising image.

Still, the fire company also has its point when it says theeffectiveness of its emergency response depends on knowingnot just how to schedule paid employees, but how to do thatwhile also considering the availability of the volunteers whoassist them.

Rather than choosing sides in this unfortunate conflict,the best thing the public can do is to encourage both sides tosit down in a quiet room somewhere and work this thing out.

woman could be strong and independent,and work to provide enough opportuni-ties as possible to her child, yet still main-tain that close mother daughter bond.Thank you for defying the stereotype andthe statistic, mom!

My next lesson in love was when I en-tered intermediate school, and continuedthrough middle and high school. I had ex-pressed an interest in taking up horsebackriding lessons, so my father decided toclose his office early every Wednesday towatch me ride. For nearly 11 years, I neveronce rode alone. I don’t know if you real-ized how much that meant to me, but Ican guarantee that I will never miss agame or performance of my children’ssomeday.

My next lesson in love came in highschool, when my parents taught me thatit’s OK to be different, and that talents inthe arts and humanities are just as impor-

tant as talents on the field, or in other ac-ademic subjects. College came with un-certainty, bad boyfriends, and that feelingof “I don’t know what I want to be, buteveryone else does,” but my parents loveshowed me that it’s OK to not have life fig-ured out by 18. Their love showed mewhat life is all about — that happiness ismore important than money, taking yourtime to find your niche, and finding some-one who loves you for all your quirks, un-conditionally. Today, I have found mystrength, my school, my degree and aboyfriend who treats me like my dadtreats my mom.

Most of you may know my mother,Mary Knight, and my father, FrankKnight who stands by her every decision,but I hope reading this, you know howmuch more they mean to me, how muchthey have provided for me, taught me,and loved.

I owe my ability to love to my parents,

and their 28 years of unwavering, uncon-ditional, crazy, funny, perfect for eachother marriage! There aren’t two peoplewho deserve each other more, mom anddad!

Love always,Frankie Knight

MGH is OC’s outsourcedmarketing departmentEditor,

The premise of your Aug. 17 editorial,“Ad agency debate doesn’t make sense,”doesn’t make any sense. Your justificationfor conducting an agency review is basedon the need for comparison shopping ofmedia buys and costs. This is completelyimpossible in the real world. No advertis-ing agency can negotiate media buys (TV,radio, online, etc.) without first beingnamed the agency-of-record.

By Stewart Dobson

Amazingly enough, I officially, inexpli-cably and irreversibly departed the ranksof the middle-aged today, this being Fri-day, Aug. 24, 2012, and 65 years after Iwiggled into the cold light on a late Sun-day afternoon and thought, “You woke meup for this?”

This, as it would happen, was the real-ization that after nine months of totalpeace and quiet, feeding on demand andthe complete absence of interpersonal is-sues, that ultimately I would be expectedto make myself useful.

The womb, after all, is the ultimate re-cliner, a fact that would explain why everynewborn who comes into this world doesso crying, that and realizing that at somepoint in your life you will have to apply fora zoning permit.

The most notable thing about my entryinto the world, as far as I can determine, isthat it occurred in the unlikely communityof Nassawadox, Va., a place that invariablyelicits the question, “Where?” wheneverthe subject of place of birth arises.

I did not live in Nassawadox in thoseearly years, as my parents believed itwould be easier to spell Onancock, Va.,(and ultimately Denton, Md.) on the var-ious forms I would have to fill out after re-alizing my only hope, and theirs, I think,would be to join the military.

As for that, the only thing I learned in theservice was if someone dares you to drink aconcoction involving Lavoris mouthwashand Johnny Walker scotch, don’t do it.

There are many things now that I canadvise younger people, and men in partic-ular, to avoid doing, nearly all of thempreceded by the words, “Hey, watch this!”

Other advice includes: do not force yourcar to backfire, assuming that today’s carswill even do it, unless you truly want to buya new muffler; do not under any circum-stances stick crayons in your nose (“Lookth,I’m colorfulth.”); and do not attempt to sawa beaten biscuit in half at the dinner tablewith a steak knife unless you have been pro-vided with more than one napkin. Oh, andnever pick up a 6-foot-long, somewhat ag-itated snake by the tail while you’re wearingflip-flops and say, “Hey, watch this!”

The aging process, as they say, is allabout learning, which is the polite way ofobserving that there must be somethingpositive about it, although it beats the hellout of us what it is.

I do know, however, the difference be-tween physical age and mental age, espe-cially as it applies to the male of thespecies. Women’s tastes and perspectivesmature as they grow older, while mencontinue to believe, even in their lateryears, that they could still hit the curveballif they really wanted to, that getting backin shape would require only a couple ofweeks at the most, and that a funny noiseis and will continue to be the single mostamusing thing on the planet.

Ah yes, 65 – the new 15.

Most media, except print, is purelybased on supply and demand for actualbuys at the moment of negotiation.While projections can be made, no onecan tell you exactly what a media buy willcost in the future. The actual rates (andsavings) achieved can only be based onactual buys placed for the client. An RFPprocess can only present an agency’s cre-dentials and methodologies for develop-ing an advertising plan and getting thebest rates.

At MGH, we spend more than$350,000 per year on media researchtools that ensure all our clients are re-ceiving the best rates. But the real sav-ings to Ocean City has been MGH’sfunctioning as an outsourced marketingdepartment. Ten years ago, advertisingwas much simpler. Now, in addition toall the traditional media that was in placethen, we have online advertising, search

engine optimization, search engine mar-keting, social media management, e-mailmarketing, Web site updates and main-tenance, public relations, and on and on.

I have never worked with a client withan almost $5 million budget with onlyone full-time person managing thetourism budget. I totally agree that thetown has every right to review agenciesat any time. It’s just important to knowwhat services in reality you are shoppingfor and how to evaluate the proposals.Everyone at MGH loves working forOcean City and I hope we can continuefor many years to come.

Heartbroken as result of actions in BerlinEditor,

It is with deep regret that I even haveto comment on this matter. Having beena long-time member of the Berlin Fire

Company Auxiliary, serving as presidentand vice president and subsequently re-signing, the past six months have notbeen easy for me. This situation hascaused issues with my son as well asfriends in the Berlin Fire Company.

Initially, the BFC asked the mayor andcouncil if there was a way that the paidEMS staff could participate in state re-tirement benefits as well as town medicalinsurance. The town, historically, has al-ways been very accommodating to theBFC and after inquiring with the state ofMaryland and IRS, an agreement wasdrafted and presented to the BFC. Thisagreement was per the state of Marylandand IRS guidelines and was the only waybenefits could be extended to the paidEMS staff. The EMS paid staff had to be-come “leased employees” of the town ofBerlin. The town supervision was admin-istrative only and the BFC provided op-erations supervision. At no time has themayor and council interfered, supervisedor tried to take control of the operations

of the BFC. As an elected representative for the

town of Berlin, my first duty and obliga-tion is to ensure that the residents andratepayers not be exposed to any finan-cial risk from what I believe are viola-tions of federal and state law.Furthermore, it has come to my atten-tion that less than 50 percent of munici-palities in Maryland provide any fundingto their local volunteer fire companies.There are only six other municipalities inthe state that contribute more money totheir fire companies: Annapolis, Cam-bridge, Cumberland, Hagerstown, OceanCity and Salisbury.

It is unfortunate and I am heartbro-ken over actions of a few BFC volunteersand paid EMS employees. I am confidentthough, that when all the facts are pre-sented, the mayor and council will havethe support of the residents and ratepay-ers in this decision.

Keep ocean, beaches trash-free; volunteer for Coastal Cleanup

(Aug. 24, 2012) What do a BMX bike,a woman’s wig, a flag pole, a car bumperand a rain gutter have in common?

Those items, as well as plastic bottles,soda cans, food wrappers, fishing gear,thousands of cigarette butts and otheritems, were found on the beaches andcoastal areas during last year’s CoastalCleanup.

More than 2,700 volunteers collectedapproximately 31,000 pounds of trash dur-ing the 2011 effort, conducted at 61 locationsin Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey.

Dave Small, deputy secretary for theDelaware Department of Natural Re-sources & Environmental Control, toldmembers of the media and onlookersduring the kickoff news conference forthe 26th annual Coastal Cleanup cam-paign, Wednesday at the beach entranceon 146th Street in Ocean City, that“every year [the Cleanup] has gottenbetter in some way, shape or form...”

The Cleanup started with the beachesthen moved to other more remote areas.

“We’ve made great strides,” he said.“Unfortunately, there’s still trash to pickup.”

Matt Likovich, spokesman for Del-marva Power, the primary corporatesponsor of the Cleanup, has seen theproject grow during the last 22 yearssince the company has been involved.

“[Delaware Department of NaturalResources & Environmental Control]was looking for a partner and wethought it was a worthwhile program toget involved with,” Likovich said.

Likovich believes the initiative ismaking strides. He said that theamount of trash has decreased becausepeople are becoming more aware ofhow to dispose of it properly.

Unfortunately last year, more itemswere picked up than in 2010 (approxi-mately 19,000 pounds) because stormsand Hurricane Irene washed debrisonto the beaches.

Fifty sites will be cleaned this year inMaryland (8), Delaware (40) and New

Jersey (2). Commemorative T-shirtswill be given to volunteers who assist inthe efforts.

“Come out on a Saturday in Septem-ber and do your part for a few hours tomake the beaches a little cleaner,”Likovich said.

Gail Blazer is the contact person forthe resort’s Cleanup, which will takeplace Saturday, Sept. 15, at 10 a.m. Al-though specially equipped tractorssweep the beach each night, the dunesget little attention during the summer,aside from a group of residents who pa-trol them near their homes in order tokeep them garbage-free. Participantswill meet at Town Hall on Third Streetto get their cleanup assignments. Formore information about the Ocean Cityevent and location to meet, call 410-289-8221 or Sandi Smith, developmentand marketing coordinator for the

Maryland Coastal Bays Program at 410-213-2297, ext. 107.

The Assateague Island Cleanup isalso scheduled for Sept. 15.

For more information about thatcleanup, call Jim Rapp at 443-614-0261.

After the Cleanup, the annual Mary-land Coast Day will take place on thestate park grounds and will feature avariety of food, vendors, children’s ac-tivities and organizations with informa-tion about what visitors and residentscan do to protect the coastal bays.

The regional events are part of Inter-national Coastal Cleanup, sponsored bythe Ocean Conservancy, whose missionis to protect the world’s oceans. Trashcollected will be itemized and the datareceived will be used to identify thesource of debris and to focus on ways toreduce or eliminate waste.

Fifty sites in Maryland,Delaware and New Jerseyto be cleaned in September

trol and authority over those employees tosatisfy state requirements.

Consequently, when a paid employeeearlier this year went to Town Administra-tor Tony Carson with a complaint aboutharassment, town officials investigated theallegations, considered them to be credibleand demanded that they cease.

In addition, a March 13 memorandumfrom the town to the fire company called fordisciplinary action against certain paidpersonnel, and said the incidents the townverified violated the federal Civil RightsAct.

Town officials also urged the fire com-pany to hire a supervisor who would re-port to Carson, to counsel its members ondiscriminatory acts and to attend a courseon workplace discrimination.

Although the town has no control overvolunteer workers, officials suggested that

any discriminatory actions by volunteersalso stop to avoid any possible lawsuits di-rected toward the company.

“We gave them a straightforward headsup that they need to take responsibility fortheir actions,” Williams said.

But the fire company did not accept thememorandum until May, when the towninformed the company it would not be al-lowed to request money in the upcomingbudget unless it did.

A series of exchanges followed betweenthe company and town officials. Williamssaid the company made some changes toits command structure, but the town alsocontinued to receive complaints about ha-rassment.

But just last Thursday, the fire com-pany had a notice delivered to Town Halldeclaring that it was taking back full con-trol of the paid employees.

“Effective immediately, the Berlin Fire

Company will assume full control, direc-tion and supervision over all emergencymedical services (EMS) personnel,” thenotice read. “The Company has been in-creasingly concerned about its ability torespond to emergencies. The Town ofBerlin (Town) has attempted to enlarge itsscope of direction and control over per-sonnel matters in accordance with theTown’s personnel policies and manual, tooperational matters relating to fire andemergency medical services. The Townhas no authority, or expertise, to do so.The Company’s attempts to work with theTown have been unsuccessful.”

The company goes on to argue that itsdecision to reassert its authority over all per-sonnel matters is because of operationalproblems arising because of confusionover who is in charge of whom and what.

That declaration by the company,Williams said, left the council with no op-

tion but to break with the fire companyand demand that the $150,000 alreadyspent on payroll from June through Au-gust be repaid.

The company, however, issued its ownstatement on Thursday (it appears as a fullpage ad on page 38) rebutting William’sassertions and contending that it has beenanything but uncooperative.

Alerted by the town of a paid em-ployee’s charge of harassment in the work-place, the company says in its statementthat it asked for specific details of the inci-dents but were rebuffed by Carson, whocited the policy of not releasing personnelmatters to an “outside entity.”

But as the company’s attorney, JoeMoore, said Thursday, the company couldhardly be considered an outside entity,when all the professional personnel “havebeen and continue to be employees of thefire company.”

He added that while the town’s fundingof the department covers $237,000 inEMS expenses, the overall cost of that de-partment is $850,000 a year and that thecompany itself pays the balance.

“We turned over the administration[aspects] of the employees to the town,”Moore said of the 2009 agreement, inorder to meet the IRS standards. What thecompany did not relinquish was authorityover how they operated, he said.

Moore said because the town refused togive the company the specifics of the com-plaint against it, fire company officialsconducted their own investigation. Theyalso brought in a counselor to conductsensitivity training and that all the volun-teers were required to attend.

In addition, following the town’s de-mand that at least one individual stepdown from a leadership post, that personand several more removed themselvesfrom positions of authority, Moore said.

“The town’s demands were not ignoredby the fire company,” Moore said. “All ofthose demands were met,” except one: re-linquishing the company’s authority overEMS scheduling.

The town has insisted that an EMS su-pervisor, who is on staff, report to Carsonabout scheduling. The fire company, ac-cording to Moore, wants to participate inthose discussions, but has been denied.

The company’s desire to be a part of thescheduling process is partly because somany volunteer EMS personnel are in-volved as well.

Moore said the company has 38 certi-fied EMS volunteers who provide criticalbackup to the professional staff, whichsees well over 1,000 calls for service a year.Last year, the company responded to 1,574EMS calls and this year to date, has han-dled 777 calls.

“The volunteers have [outside] workschedules” that have to be considered,Moore said. “We know what they are.”

It is the scheduling argument, not theharassment issue, that has the companyand the town at loggerheads now, Mooresaid. As for the harassment, “We have re-sponded. That’s a fact.”

But having taken tough action Tuesday,town officials say they see little reason tomeet with company representatives to re-solve the dispute, sticking with their insis-tence that there will be no reconciliationuntil personnel involved in any harass-ment are dismissed.

(Aug. 24, 2012) Worcester County willhave emergency epinephrine injectionsavailable at public schools this year, theresult of a policy review mandated byMaryland’s passage earlier this year of oneof the so-called ‘EpiPen bills’ that are pro-liferating around the country.

“It grew out of a tragic circumstanceearlier in Virginia,” said county Supervi-sor of Student Services Fred Grant in pre-senting his policy recommendation to theSchool Board. “I was actually on the stateteam that worked out the guidelines.”

Seven-year-old Amarria Johnson diedon Jan. 4 after a classmate at her Chester-field County school accidentally gave hera peanut, to which she was allergic. Thenut caused a condition known as anaphy-laxis, which results from the body’s ownexcessive reaction to certain toxins. Acuteallergies, such as those to nuts and beestings, are a common cause.

Anaphylaxis is treatable with an injec-tion of epinephrine, more commonlyknown as adrenaline. Epinephrine is thearchaic but generally accepted genericdrug term for adrenaline in the UnitedStates, given that the term “adrenaline” it-self was actually trademarked in the 19thcentury, but is now no longer proprietary.

Easy-to-administer epinephrine injec-tions are commonly available to allergysufferers. The most popular brand variety,the EpiPen, involves a syringe than auto-matically shoots into a subject’s thigh,through clothing if necessary, to deliver apre-measured injection.

In the Johnson case, however, an in-jection was not available, spurring Vir-ginia legislators to pass a bill stating thatschools should be able to keep their ownemergency epinephrine devices regard-less of whether students have known al-lergies. Such “EpiPen bills” have spreadacross the U.S. during legislative sessionsthis year.See EPINEPHRINE on Page 27

County schools to have EpiPensin wake of Virginia allergy issueZACK HOOKES■ Staff Writer

(Aug. 24, 2012) The Worcester CountyCommissioners discussed the following is-sues during their meeting Tuesday.

Hazard mitigation planThe commissioners learned that FEMA

approved a grant to have the county’s hazardmitigation plan updated.

Tom Kane, the county Emergency Serv-ices planner, applied for the grant in May.The $30,000 grant requires a 25 percentmatch, which will be provided with in-kindhours from Kane and other Emergency Serv-ices staff.

Ag easementsThe commissioners voted to send six peti-

tions for agricultural easements to the Mary-land Agricultural Land PreservationFoundation. Ed Tudor, director of the Depart-ment of Development Review and Permitting,said the foundation would likely only haveenough funds to buy easements on two ofthe properties based on soil types, propertysize, development rights available to extin-guish, landowner bid and other factors.

Boat slipsThe commissioners voted 6-1 to award

two-year leases for eight boat slips at thecommercial marina in West Ocean City. Com-

missioner Louise Gulyas cast the sole oppos-ing vote because one bid arrived late andwas opened during the meeting. That, shesaid, set a bad precedent for accepting latebids. The other commissioners favored open-ing the last bid because it was the eighth bidand there are eight boat slips. Bids for thethree 100-foot-long slips ranged from $9,000to $10,001.99 and bids for the five 75-foot-long slips ranged from $3,000 to $8,000.The late bid was for $6,001.01.

Household wastePublic Works Director John Tustin an-

nounced that the department’s Solid WasteDivision has scheduled another c-Cycle andHousehold Hazardous Waste Day for Oct. 20from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The drop-off site willbe at the Showell Elementary School parkinglot.

Nuisance abatementsThe commissioners agreed that the Pub-

lic Works Department would demolish twostructures on Newark Road because of theirdilapidated conditions.

Earlier plans called for the Newark FireCompany to burn the structures as trainingexercises, but that idea was dropped be-cause Delmarva Power’s transmission lineslie directly overhead of one of the structuresand directly adjacent to the order, Relocatingthose lines would cost more about $20,000.

Demolition by the Public Works Depart-ment employees would cost substantially less.

WORCESTER COUNTY BRIEFS


(Aug. 24, 2012) The clerk at a WestOcean City store who claimed he wasbeaten and tied up during a robberywas charged Friday with felony theftand other crimes in connection with theincident. His 29-year-old wife was alsoarrested.

On Aug. 3, deputies of the WorcesterCounty Sheriff’s Office went to Lids, ahat store at 12741 Ocean City, in re-sponse to an alarm. On arrival, they sawthe clerk, Kevin Jamal Purnell of Berlin,on the floor. The doors to the businesswere locked.

Deputies entered and Purnell toldthem he had just been robbed at gun-point. The deputies then contacted theWorcester County Bureau of Investiga-tion.

When the WCBI detectives inter-viewed Purnell, he told them that hewas taking out the trash when a light-skinned black man with dreadlocks,dressed in black, placed a gun at hisback and ordered him to return to thestore. Inside, Purnell said, the robberforced him to lock the door and thenbeat Purnell repeatedly. After he wasincapacitated, Purnell said, the intruderstole numerous hats from the store be-fore leaving.

Detectives viewed surveillance videofrom inside the store and that video didnot match Purnell’s story. Detectivescould see that the robber was a light-skinned black woman, not a man. Theyalso saw other things that did notmatch his story.

The detectives learned that RoslynPurnell, the clerk’s wife, matched thedescription of the person who commit-

ted the robbery. During interviews withboth Kevin and Roslyn Purnell, theyfound additional inconsistencies intheir stories. Based on the information,they determined both were involved inthe theft of hats and had staged the rob-bery.

Both Roslyn Purnell and Kevin Pur-nell were charged with theft from$10,000 to $100,000, conspiracy tocommit theft from $10,000 to$100,000, theft of less than $1,000,conspiracy to commit theft of less than$1,000 and obstructing and hinderinga police officer. Kevin Purnell was alsocharged with making a false statementto a police officer.

Anyone with additional informationrelated to this case is asked to contactthe Worcester County Bureau of Inves-tigation at 410-352-3476 or LowerShore Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.

Midtown property to have retail, restaurant and office spaceend of the property has been investigated,but Miller said it’s still very tentative.

“Who knows what the requirementsare going to be, so you need to go onrecord now saying you have it [the parkingbonus],” Miller said.

“The architectural basis for this is fairlyobvious as far as the old coastal style goes,”Schoellkopf noted. “But it’s set up so mul-tiple tenants can have their own identities.It’s got space for unique signs and uniqueentrances.”

The commission’s only two concernsabout the project were its security lightingand its sidewalk provisions on 68th Street.Commission Chairwoman Pam Buckleyasked if the spaces in between the separatebuildings would present a crime issue lateat night. “That’s the only thing, safety-wise, that’s an issue for me,” Buckley said.

Schoellkopf showed the commission a

projection of how the area would be illu-minated with the lighting he and Millerhad specified, noting that the brightness ofthe area was in-line with town standardsas far as minimum and maximum foot-candle allowances.

Miller also added that the rear of thebuildings would not be hidden areas,prone to graffiti or littering. Instead, hesaid, the mechanical utilities often seen atthe backs of buildings would be elevatedand mounted inside the complex. Theback of the building would be well-lit andhave entranceways for visitors from theSunset Island condo complex to the west.

“It’s also why the back of the buildingsdon’t look like the backs of buildings perse,” Miller said.

“I like that. You hate to see these rearentrances of malls that don’t get used andjust go into disrepair,” said Buckley.

Miller and Schoellkopf’s plans would

also allow for the installation of 8-foot-wide sidewalks – which the city has beentrying to phase in for several years – onCoastal Highway and along 67th Street.Sidewalks with a 5-foot-width would be on68th Street.

Miller said that this was preferable fortraffic safety, however, because having lesspedestrian access on 68th Street wouldencourage walkers to access the complexfrom 67th. That street has a crosswalk onCoastal Highway, whereas the 68th Streetintersection does not. The complex willalso allow for a bus stop shelter at 67th.

“I think we’re providing a situationthat’s actually better. I know that Terry[McGean, the City Engineer] doesn’t wantpeople to cross at 68th,” Miller said.

“It makes sense if you’re trying to buseverybody to 67th Street…that’s wherewe’ve put all the eggs in the basket, so tospeak,” said Buckley.


Epinephrine shotsavailable at publicschools this year

“The [Maryland] policy does not saythat schools have to maintain anEpiPen, but as we discussed it, it justdoesn’t make sense to develop a policywithout having the actual EpiPens,”Grant said.

Although students who have beenprescribed EpiPens have always beenallowed to bring them to school, thenew policy will allow schools to havetheir own devices that will be kept inthe school nurse’s office, as well asbeing distributed to teachers andcoaches going on field trips or sportingevents.

In order to do so, the county essen-tially had to prescribe EpiPens for it-self, under the authority of the countyHealth Department’s top physician,Dr. Andrea Mathias.

“We had to have a medical profes-sional in the Health Department signoff on the orders … by doing that, any-body who uses that EpiPen comesunder her license,” Grant said.

“There’s been a lot of discussion,but it’s the right thing to do. No parentshould have to worry about this,” saidboard Vice President Jonathan Cook.

“That’s the scary part, because somany allergic reactions are previouslyunknown,” board member J. DouglasDryden added.

Board member Robert Hulburdasked Grant if there was any concernregarding students attempting to usethe EpiPens for recreational purposes.“You never know. I’ve heard about kidsusing cinnamon and nutmeg to getsome sort of feeling,” he said.

“Last week, I actually stuck myselfby accident, so I can kind of speak asan expert on that,” Grant replied. Hesaid that he experienced no effectsother than what one would expectfrom heightened adrenaline – a tem-porarily elevated heart rate and feelingof nervousness.

“There’s no evidence to indicatethat it would cause a person to expireby giving them an EpiPen if they don’tneed it,” Grant said.


(Aug. 24, 2012) The Dew Tour was re-shaped this year to showcase action sportsin three large-scale, premium and “grand-slam” style events.

Dew Tour representatives workedclosely for several months with a numberof athletes to determine the best mix ofsports and disciplines at each stop thisyear. The 2012 Dew Tour stops includeOcean City (Pantech Beach Champi-onships), Aug. 16-19; San Francisco, Oct.18-21 (Toyota City Championship); andBreckenridge, Colo., (Mountain Champi-onships), Dec. 13-16.

“Our beach, city and mountain themeprovides a fresh and exciting direction forthe sports to progress, and each of thethree events will draw inspiration fromthe host city to create its own identity,”Chris Prybylo, vice president of events forAlli Sports, the company that producesthe Dew Tour, said last week.

Events that took place in Ocean City in-cluded the GoDaddy Surf Expression Ses-sion and Skate Vert and Skate Bowlcontests, which were showcased last year.A Skate Mega 2.0 competition and SkateBowl Legends event, were new to the line-up.

BMX Park and Vert contests were fea-tured again this year in the resort alongwith the new BMX Mega 2.0 and DewTour’s first-ever Flatland demonstration,where four athletes were chosen to showoff their skills.

“For this year’s Dew Tour, we addedcompetitions that are popular with theathletes, and fit well with the beach settingin Ocean City,” Prybylo said.

■ Skate Bowl Legends: Last August, the Dew Tour presented

the Alli Rideshop Skate Bowl Legends Jamduring the Portland Invitational in Port-land, Ore. Because of its success, a similarevent was scheduled for Ocean City duringthe Pantech Beach Championships.

The Skate Bowl Legends contest,which included nine athletes chosen by acommittee and invited based on their sta-tus as true “pioneers” of bowl skating,took place last Thursday. Many of themen have been around for decades andcontinue to work within the industry andoccasionally compete.

Chris Miller, chief creative director forAlli Sports, the company that producesthe Dew Tour, won the legends competi-tion in Portland last year and came out ontop in Ocean City with a score of 88.5, bymaking use of the entire bowl and com-bining lip tricks and airs. Each skater hadfour runs and Miller earned that score inthe second round.

“Even though I’ve been competing andskating a long time I always get nervous,but tonight I just felt relaxed and had fun,so I was really happy,” Miller said after thecontest. “It was fun skating with all theseguys. Steve Alba and Eddie Elguera, for alot of us — Christian [Hosoi], myself, Jeff[Grosso] — those guys we looked up togrowing up. Some of these guys I’ve knownsince I was 10 years old. We all grew up to-gether and we’re all good friends.”

Miller, of Upland, Calif., designed theportable concrete structure engineered bySpohn Ranch. It made its debut in Ocean

City last summer. Christian Hosoi of Huntington Beach,

Calif, finished in second place with a bestscore of 83.5 and Steve Caballero ofCampbell, Calif., was third with an 81.75.

■ GoDaddy.com Surf ExpressionSession:

Following the Skate Bowl Legends final,the GoDaddy.com Surf Expression Sessiontook place in the ocean near the pier. Aboat provided waves for the contest. Underthe lights, DJ RAC provided the music asEric Geiselman (New Smyrna Beach, Fla.)and Nate Yeomans (San Clemente, Calif.)battled it out in the final round of the tow-in contest. Geiselman was victorious witha 6.0 in the second heat of the finals, usingthe speed of the Jet Ski to complete a hugecombination maneuver.

“I’m super stoked on the win,” Geisel-man stated in a press release.

■ BMX Vert:In the Dew Tour’s eight-year history,

Jamie Bestwick of Nottingham, GreatBritain, has been the only BMX athlete tohold the Vert title. Bestwick, who spent theweeks prior to the Pantech Beach Cham-pionships in London as a commentator forBMX Olympic events, was challenged inthe Vert six-man finals, but pulled aheadin his last run to win the event.

Bestwick, who admitted he was tiredand still on England time, with little prac-tice beforehand, found himself in last placeon Aug. 17, while Simon Tabron (Liverpool,Great Britain) held the lead with a 91.88going into the third and final run. VinceByron (Brisbane, Australia) pulled aheadwith a 92.13 on his third run. Bestwick, thesecond to last rider in the third round, dida turndown flair, tailwhip flair and down-whip turndown and landed a seatgrabknack-knack, invert 540 and opposite flairto earn a 92.75 and capture his eighth BMXVert title. Byron took second place (92.13)and Tabron finished third (91.88).

“It was tough to follow these guystonight … Personally, I thought Vincerode amazing and so did Simon, so dideverybody. The level of vert riding wentthrough the roof,” Bestwick said after thecompetition. “I’m so proud just to be inthe company of these guys because theyreally are pushing the limits.

“I couldn’t stick my first two runs. Idon’t know what was going on, but I camethrough and somehow won the contest,”he said. “I’m very proud. It was anothergreat Dew Tour here in Ocean City. I can’twait to be back here next year because thisis a pretty special place.”

■ Skateboard Vert:In the five-rider Skateboard Vert final

last Saturday, Pierre-Luc Gagnon (Mon-treal, Canada), more commonly referredto as “PLG,” scored an 88.5 in the secondof four rounds, incorporating several fliptricks and held on for the victory. Balti-more native Bucky Lasek took second-place honors with a best score of 85.75.Sandro Dias (Costa Mesa, Brazil) finishedin third place with an 85.25.

“It feels great to win again at the DewTour. I had a hard time in practice, butkept my cool and threw it down when itmattered. I’ve done this a bunch of times,so I knew what I had to do,” Gagnon

stated in a press release. “The fans are sointo it here in Ocean City. It feels great toperform in front of a crowd like this.”

n BMX Park:The BMX Park six-man finals kicked

off Sunday’s competitions. Brett Ba-nasiewicz’s (South Bend, Ind.) 92.75scored on the first run held the top spotfor three rounds. His winning run in-cluded a front flip no hander, 360 triplewhip and cash roll on the step down.

Kyle Baldock (Gold Coast, Australia)followed a close second with a 92.25 andScotty Cranmer (Jackson, N.J.), who didnot take his final run because he was feel-ing ill, finished third with a 91.75.

“I’m happy the way I rode. I had funand I did all my tricks I wanted,” he said.“I kind of knew Scotty wasn’t going to takehis third run, but I didn’t want to take achance and be chill on my third run andhave him come out and kill it. I tried to gohard on all three of my runs. Ocean City

was really fun and I had a good time withall my friends riding bikes.”

n Skateboard Bowl: The Skateboard Bowl final began im-

mediately after the BMX Park event onSunday. There were two rounds with fiveskateboarders in each. The field was thennarrowed down to the top five for a“Super Final” competition. Because ofrain, the five-rider final was canceled andthe scores from the first two heats stood.

For the second consecutive year, PedroBarros (Florianopolis, Brazil) took tophonors in Ocean City.

Barros scored an 85.76 on his run thatincluded and alley-oop indy over the hip,followed by a massive 540 as well an alley-oop fakie frontside 50-50 grind and aSmith grind around the deep end corner.

“I was stoked. This bowl’s amazing soit’s always really fun to skate,” Barros said.“I was trying to skate my best. The level ofskating was high. I’m pretty sure everyonehad a lot more skating and I had a lot

more skating and I knew the Super Finalwould be a tougher battle because every-one would be hungrier, but no one canfight Mother Nature.”

Lasek finished second with an 84.13.Ben Hatchell (Manassas, Va.) roundedout the top three riders, scoring an 83.38.

“I’m a little disappointed for the fans. Asfar as the skating goes, we all had some-thing in the bank that we wanted to ex-plode with in the Super Final, but I thinkpretty much were the standing are I’mhappy with that,” Lasek said. “It was awe-some to be back in Ocean City. The Pan-tech Beach Championships is second tonone. It was an awesome venue — the bestvenue ever. Everyone loves Ocean City, andI think that’s why they keep coming back.”

n BMX Flatland:While the Skateboard Bowl contest

was in progress, over on the stage area thefirst Dew Tour BMX Flatland demo/bat-tle was taking place. Flatland is a freestyleBMX riding style performed on smooth,

flat surfaces that do not include anyramps, jumps or grindrails. Four athletes—Terry Adams, Matt Wilhelm, MatthiasDandois and Alex Jumelin, some of thebiggest names in Flatland BMX — werechosen by a specialized committee to dis-play their skills during the exhibition.

In the final round of the first-ever BMXFlatland battle style competition, Dandoiswent up against Adams and came out vic-torious.

“Flatland is a part of the BMX familyand it was great to be with everyone andhang out here at the Dew Tour,” Matthiaswas quoted on www.allisports.com.

n BMX and Skate Mega 2.0:New to the Pantech Beach Champi-

onships was the Mega 2.0, an event inwhich skateboarders and BMX athletesperformed a variety of tricks high in thesky. Prybylo said adding Mega 2.0 wouldallow skate and BMX Vert athletes toshowcase their abilities in a new discipline.

“We are excited to have brought theMega 2.0 event to the fans in Ocean Cityfor the first time and are happy with howthe event was received by both the fansand athletes,” he said. “Both the skate andBMX events were exciting to watch andTom Schaar’s 1080 on the beach in frontof a big crowd was a major moment forthe Dew Tour.”

The Mega 2.0 ramp is a smaller versionof the MegaRamp. It provides athletes thesame opportunity for dynamic tricks asthe larger MegaRamp, though it is a moretechnical ramp that allows them to show-case street-inspired tricks, as well.

The MegaRamp has two different gapsizes set at 50-foot and 70-foot wide. Thequarter pipe is 27 feet tall. The roll-ins are65 feet and 85 feet tall from ground level.The Mega 2.0 has one gap set at 30 feetwide. The quarter pipe is 18 feet tall andthe roll-in is 35 feet tall from ground level.

The BMX Mega 2.0 took place early inthe day Sunday. Zackery Warden’s (St.Louis, Mo.) solid final run, landing a back-flip bike flip into a triple tailwhip, earnedhim a 91.63 to tie Chad Kagy (Gilroy,Calif). Warden was awarded first place be-cause his second highest score (89.25)topped Kagy’s (88.63). Kagy finished insecond and Byron placed third (90.63).

“It means a lot to win, especially atMega 2.0 at the beach stop of the DewTour,” Warden stated in a press release.“I’ve been riding this ramp a lot and I’vebeen on the Dew Tour for seven yearsnow, so to finally pull out a win here inOcean City means a lot to me.”

The Skate Mega 2.0 was postponeduntil later in the evening Sunday becauseof rain. Under the lights, 12-year-old TomSchaar landed a 1080 to clench the title.Schaar (Malibu, Calif.) won the event witha score of 89. He first landed the 1080 fivemonths ago and is currently the only skate-boarder to successfully complete the trick.

Elliot Sloan (New York, N.Y) earnedsecond-place honors with an 87 and BobBurnquist (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) fin-ished third with an 86.75.

“I’m so stoked,” Schaar, stated in apress release. It was his third event of thePantech Beach Championships. “I’m a lit-tle tired after skating in all these events,and I didn’t expect to do this well since Ididn’t get a lot of practice on the ramp. Iguess I got a little lucky.”

Patricia Morris PeloquinTAKOMA PARK, Md. — Patricia

Morris Peloquin, 75, retired dental hy-gienist and homemaker, died peacefullyin her sleep, surrounded by her threedaughters, on Monday, Aug. 6, 2012, inTakoma Park, Md.

For years, she had carried a quote inher wallet stating that one should endlife’s journey loudly proclaiming “Wow!What a Ride!” — a sentiment seeminglyat odds with her life as an organized, re-sponsible and caring professionalwoman, mother, wife and neighbor.The quote reminded her to enjoy lifeand have fun. She loved her family andfriends, loved the Maryland shore andher garden, music and dancing, and shefrequently reminded her daughters tostop and smell the roses.

She also said that, when she wasyoung, single and broke, the best way tohave fun was to cook a chicken for heryoung, single, broke friends.

Born Patricia Irene Morris in Salis-bury, to Oscar Lee Morris Jr. (editor ofthe Salisbury Times) and the late AlyceIrene Martino, she earned money mow-ing lawns and doing yard work in herneighborhood. She studied tap andballroom dance, and as a teenager, sangand danced professionally on the East-

ern Shore and in Baltimore. She washead majorette and secretary of themath club at Wicomico High, taughtdance in Salisbury, and entered beautypageants.

She earned her certificate in dentalhygiene from the University of Pennsyl-vania in 1956, and in the same year waschosen Cherry Blossom Princess for thestate of Maryland. She practiced dentalhygiene in Salisbury, in the offices ofher uncle Albert Morris. Later, sheworked in Baltimore, then in the Wash-ington, D.C. area. From 1962-1963, shewas president of the Maryland DentalHygienist Association.

In 1963, she married Robert AlfredPeloquin, and retired from dental hy-giene to raise her family. She always feltit was important that someone be homewhen the children came home fromschool, and that the family dine to-gether nightly at 6 p.m., with very fewexceptions. Because her own motherpassed away shortly before her wed-ding, she was especially appreciative ofher mother-in-law, Gilbertha Peloquin.

Mrs. Peloquin was a founder of, andwrote the newsletter for, a neighbor-hood association in Upper Marlboro,Md., and helped organize a yearlySpring Fling for the Old Bay Trail com-munity off White House Road. She wasa founding member of the Largo Civic

Association. She was a fierce advocatefor her children’s education, always ac-tive in parent-teacher associations, andfrequently was a volunteer in theschools.

She also enjoyed taking up a series ofhobbies, from painting to ceramics tocake decorating to knitting. She sewedseveral special outfits for her daughters,and, in the early ’70s, several brightlycolored mod outfits for herself. Shemade sure to teach her daughters thebasics of sewing; she felt all childrenshould at least learn to fix a button or ahem.

During the short time she lived nearSan Diego, Calif., she enjoyed beachvolleyball and learning to haggle in Ti-juana, Mexico. She always enjoyed gar-dens and gardening, from her parents’back yard, to her large vegetable gardenand rose garden in her first house, tothe Ocean City plantings with the well-placed thorn bushes to prevent the“tourists” from walking through thetomatoes. She favored a lush, dynamicgarden design that was once describedby a small visitor as a “beautiful jungle.”She was always interested in theweather forecast, and discussing thelatest theories of healthy diet. Becauseher parents died in their 50s, she wasamazed she stayed so healthy so long.

Everyone who knew her remarkedon the strength and courage sheshowed as she nursed her husbandthrough ALS (Amyotrophic LateralSclerosis or Lou Gherig’s disease) forfive years while also taking on his por-tion of the household chores. As her

role of caregiver became physicallymore demanding, she boasted abouthow strong her new daily workout hadmade her. After her husband passedaway, Mrs. Peloquin took up walking10,000 steps a day in the neighborhoodto keep in shape.

One of her great joys in life was thetime she spent with her family andfriends in Ocean City. She chatted onthe beach or on her front porch, walkedfor miles on the beach, served happyhour snacks to her family and friends,and arranged occasional outings to alocal restaurant to watch the sunsetover Assawoman Bay accompanied bythe 1812 overture. She was unafraid toaddress rowdy young renters who werebreaking Ocean City noise ordinances,to give them a chance to behave them-selves before she called the cops. Andshe just as frequently asked the icecream truck driver to turn down theloud music that disrupted the peace forhalf an hour at a time. Mrs. Peloquinwas frugal, but always offered her timegenerously to her family and friends.She frequently helped friends trouble-shoot and repair a household problem,offered to help remove spots from car-pets, and spent time with shut-ins. Shefrequently discovered that some partswere not strictly necessary to get smallappliances working again.

Mrs. Peloquin bequeathed to herchildren the conviction that problemscan be solved if you put your mind to it,and “keep plugging away” at it. Becauseshe always seemed to succeed at anytask she decided to set her mind to, her

SPORTS BRIEFS

(Aug. 24, 2012) The Capt. Steve Har-man’s Poor Girls Open ladies-only fishingtournament saw a nine-boat increase from2010 to 2011, and this year, 20 additionalboats competed in the event.

Seventy-nine boats carrying 361 womenentered the tournament in 2010, when$75,720 was up for grabs. Last year, 88boats took 403 lady anglers fishing off-shore. They competed for $81,390 in prizemoney.

In 2012, 108 boats registered and 499females participated. A total of $95,980was awarded to the winners.

Earl Conley, co-director of the Open,said he was a bit concerned during registra-tion last Wednesday when only 38 boatshad signed up between 4 and 6:30 p.m. Butthe rain stopped and when the sun came,out so did the lady anglers. The line to reg-ister stretched across the parking lot at onepoint and Conley said organizers were busychecking in boats until 10:30 p.m. Conleysaid they were “tickled” with the turnout.

“With the current state of the economy,I thought we’d have around 80 boats. Andwe would have been happy to have 80boats,” Conley said. “To have 108 boats thisyear — 20 more boats than last year —that’s just great. We’re extremely happy.”

In 2004, the tournament was renamedto honor the founder of the event, the lateCapt. Steve Harman. He and his wife, Pam,started the Poor Girls Open in 1994 to pro-

vide women with an opportunity to com-pete for prizes and money in a ladies-onlytournament and to raise money for localcharities. Harman died in February 2004,so organizers thought it was appropriate thetournament be renamed in his memory.

Proceeds from the tournament are do-nated to the American Cancer Society andearmarked for breast cancer research andprogram development, under the “PinkRibbon Classic” — a series of local eventsthat benefit the organization. Kathy Math-ias, a longtime co-chairwoman of the PinkRibbon Classic Series Committee, lost herbattle with the disease last August.

“When there’s a cause behind it, that’swhat it’s all about. Shawn [Harman, Openco-organizer] said Kathy Mathias waslooking down on us, and that’s what we at-tribute our success to,” Conley said.

In 2011, the Harman family presentedthe American Cancer Society with a checkfor $54,000 during the tournament’sawards ceremony. This year, $62,500 wasdonated to the organization. Approxi-mately $9,000 of the contribution camefrom money raised during Fish Tales’ sum-merlong cornhole competition, as well asits third annual “Clamming for a Cure”contest on July 22.

(Aug. 24, 2012) ShawnKotwica has been collectingrecipes and concocting marti-nis for a number of years. Sowhen it came time to develop adrink menu for The Under-ground Lounge, on 22ndStreet and Baltimore Avenue,he was easily able to design alist of about 100 options.

The Kucuk brothers, BertoBrock, Bugra and Bruno,opened The Underground Bar& Grill in May 2008. Kotwicahas partnered with the broth-ers and he will be running therecently renovated lounge.

Kotwica began sprucing upthe space about a month ago,adding a fresh coat of paint —monochromatic gray, to givethe place a basement feel, sinceit is located below street level.The exposed pipes werepainted red to provide a pop ofcolor. The bar top was also re-finished.

“It has a modern industrial

loft-ish look, like a city loft,from the exposed pipes, to thewoods, cloths and metals,” hesaid.

The Underground Loungeopened on Aug. 1 for businesswith a new look and concept.Martinis and tapas are thefocal points of the establish-ment.

“I think people will like theconcept,” he said. “I think of[The Underground Lounge] asa place to get away. It’s a nicelittle hideaway.”

Kotwica’s martini menu ispleasing to both the eyes andtaste buds. It features vividlycolored drinks that are sweet,sour, tart, creamy, bold andspicy. Most of the martinis willbe rimmed with either coloredsugar, crushed graham crack-ers, chopped peanuts, coconut,Oreos, spicy chilis, marshmal-low and even Pop Rocks candy,among other items.

For example, the peanutbutter cup martini glass isrimmed with chocolate syrupand chopped peanuts. The key

lime pie cocktail is rimmedwith marshmallow, grahamcracker and coconut.

“They’re crafted cocktails.It’s something different inOcean City,” Kotwica said.

All martinis cost $7. Beerand other libations are alsoavailable.

In 2004, Kotwica spent asummer in Spain. He liked theidea of tapas — savory Spanishdishes typically served withdrinks at a bar — so he has in-corporated them into The Un-derground Lounge. “Tapas”literally means “cover/lid” be-

“I wanted to bring the tapas worldto Ocean City,” Kotwica said. “It’s quickand easy food and people can try a fewdifferent things. It’s affordable andconvenient for customers.”

Everything on the menu created byKotwica cost $5 or less. An assortmentof flatbread pizzas are available. Severalsalsas are on the menu as well.

(Aug. 24, 2012) Real estate settle-ments are documented on a form calledthe HUD-1 Settlement Statement, andthis form, along with the Good FaithEstimate, were revamped by the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban De-velopment more than two years agounder the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Re-form and Consumer Protection Act. Butboth forms are under review and sub-ject to further alterations once again bythe Consumer Financial Protection Bu-reau.

The changes that took effect in Jan-uary 2010 were in an effort to decreasethe incidence of quoted GFE numbersdiffering too much from what is ulti-mately owed at settlement, as shown onthe HUD-1. The GFE is provided at thetime a buyer makes application for aloan and come from your lender. TheCFPB needs to make changes so thatthe Truth in Lending Act disclosuresare in harmony with the settlementforms, HUD-1 and GFE.

The National Association of Realtorsis reviewing the CFPB’s proposedchanges, but it is somewhat of a lengthytask, since the changes are detailed in a

1,100-page regula-tion document. But,with the extent ofchanges proposed,NAR already seessome potentialtrouble spots.

As an example,here are a few of the

trouble spots NAR points out: ■ The agency left it unclear who is

supposed to fill out the proposed com-bined settlement form. Is it the lenderor the closing agent?

■ NAR is exploring what is includedin the expanded three-day settlementdelay. In theory, the three-day delayrule was to allow a buyer time to reviewthe document if there are major finan-cial changes, so the agency allowed forexceptions, but NAR wants to be surethat the exceptions cover all the possi-ble scenarios.

■ Third, the extent of the changeswill cause disruption among lenders,title agents and real estate agents aseveryone gets over the learning curve,and more hurdles in an already ailingreal estate market trying to rebound arenot welcomed.

If you have concerns about further

changes, the public will have until Oct.16, to review and provide comments onthe proposed rules. The CFPB will re-view and analyze the comments beforeissuing final rules in January 2013. Anoverview of the proposal is available atwww.Regulations.gov and search“CFPB-2012-0028.”

REAL ESTATE REPORT

Rules proposed to bring greater accountability

A figure in last week’s “Real EstateReport” was incorrect. The statementwithin the column should have read, “Togive you an idea of what this equates toin a loan, if you take a $100,000 loan,you would pay an additional $104 permonth with an FHA loan vs. approxi-mately $25 per month with a USDA loan(.30 percent for USDA and 1.25 percentfor FHA). As you can see, a USDA loancan allow for more purchase powerwhen debt-to-income ratios are tight.”Ocean City Today regrets the error.

Hotel Week runsthrough Aug. 30;rooms still available

(Aug. 24, 2012) A number of visitorshave made reservations and are taking ad-vantage of the Ocean City Hotel Week pro-motion that includes free hotel stays anddiscount deals.

The 12-day promotion kicked off Aug.19, and continues through Aug. 30.

“We’re targeting families who want tohave one last vacation before school starts,”Susan Jones, executive director of theHMRA said last week. “This program is de-signed to mimic Restaurant Week becauseit’s been so successful. People are used togetting deals and we want to entice themto come to Ocean City at the end of Au-gust.”

Because the number of visitors tapersoff at the end of August, as children headback to school, the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association in 2010launched “Ocean City Hotel Week,” a 12-day promotion that offered discounts andpackage deals at resort hotels and motels.

The objective of the campaign is to at-tract more visitors to the area and increasethe number of bookings during the last fewweeks of summer when business tradition-ally begins to slow down.

Approximately 25 hotels and motels areparticipating in the 2012 promotion. Whilemost lodging facilities are offering a singleincentive, such as a free night stay or a“beach bargain” deal, others are providingmore money-saving opportunities.

“With the school calendar starting be-fore Labor Day, the last two weeks of Au-gust are so hard to sell. Filling rooms hasbecome a real challenge,” Jones saidWednesday. “However, visitors have calledand inquired, so there is certainly interestin the promotion. There are some proper-ties who are seeing reservations come in,while others may have to sweeten the offer.”

The “beach bargain” promotion offersguests 15 percent off the standard ratewhen they book three nights, 20 percentoff if they book four nights, and a 25-per-cent discount if they stay five.

The free night offer invites visitors tostay three nights and get the fourth free, orstay four nights and get the fifth free.

Rooms are still available at resort prop-erties.

“We have had several [reservations]that have been booked online and have hadsome calls as well,” stated Mark Elman,general manager of the Clarion ResortFontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street in ane-mail to Jones on Tuesday. “We arestrong all the way up until Sunday, then itdies off. The last week has always been thetoughest with school going back.”

In an e-mail to Jones, Joel D. Brous,general manager of the Flamingo Motel on31st Street and Baltimore Avenue, wrote,“We have had a very strong response fromour Hotel Week promotion.”

(Aug. 24, 2012) The thirdannual Ocean City Jeep Weekwas set to get under way yes-terday, with a meet-and-greetwelcoming party at Seacretson 49th Street, and additionalactivities are planned through-out the weekend in and aroundthe resort.

“I think we’ll have a reallygood time. A lot of people arelooking forward to it,” saidevent co-organizer Larry Sack-adorf. “We’ve got some peoplecoming all the way from Cana-da, and a Pennsylvania club issending about 20 Jeeps.”

The inaugural Ocean CityJeep Week, held in August2010, was a tremendous suc-cess with approximately 200participants registering theirvehicles. The 2011 Jeep Weekwas scheduled for Aug. 25-28,but unfortunately the onlyevents that took place last yearwas the meet-and-greet partyand some participants visitedthe Eastern Shore Jeep Asso-ciation’s 81-acre private play-ground about 30 miles outsideof Ocean City. The rest of theevents were canceled becauseof Hurricane Irene, duringwhich Ocean City was evacu-ated. Several hundred Jeepowners were registered to par-ticipate.

“The first one was prettycool, then the second one wasstifled because of the hurri-cane,” said Sackadorf, who hasa 2010 Jeep Wrangler SportUnlimited JK - Special OceanCity Edition. It is “Ocean CityBlue” with the Ocean City flagdesign across the hood.

The third annual event,presented by the CommanderHotel on 14th Street and theBoardwalk and produced byBroken Wing Productions,

fter months of plan-ning, the inauguralthree-day “Uptown

Beach Bash” is set to kick offtoday (Friday), with pro-ceeds and donations col-lected over the weekendbenefiting Relay for Life, Di-akonia and the SurfriderFoundation.

“It’s going to be a greatweekend,” said Brad Hoff-man, co-owner of SparkProductions LLC, with BrianStoehr and Dave Bafford.“We’re hoping to get every-one to come out for the freeevents for charity.”

The North Ocean CityBusiness Alliance, a groupcreated by north-end busi-ness owners to lobby citygovernment for more equi-table geographic distribu-tion of tourism promotiondollars, joined forces withSpark Productions to bringthis new festival to thebeach. They wanted to drawattention to that area in afun and creative way, thus

the Uptown Beach Bash wasborn. On June 18, the OceanCity Council approved$22,135 for the UptownBeach Bash.

“With this three-dayevent, we’re hoping to bringsome kind of economic im-pact to Ocean City during aslower time,” said StevePappas, owner of The Origi-nal Greene Turtle on 116thStreet, an Uptown BeachBash sponsor. Pappas is alsoa member of the NorthOcean City Business Al-liance. “We’re trying to getpeople to come to OceanCity. We want them to seethat there’s a lot more toOcean City than the Board-walk and inlet.”

The festivities will starttoday, Aug. 24, with the“Uptown Beach Bash PaddleBoard Regatta and BayParty” at BJ’s on the Wateron 75th Street, from 1-5 p.m.

This event includes pad-dleboard races, where prizeswill be awarded, as well as

lessons and clinics for begin-ners of all ages. Participantscan decorate their paddle-boards and display themduring a parade to winprizes.

Pre-registration for theGuinness World RecordBikini Parade will take placeat BJ’s on the Water, as well.

(Aug. 24, 2012) The past month hasbeen very busy for the Ocean City BeachPatrol and the surf rescue technicianswho guard your beach. Due to increasedwave action, we have seen a rise in ripcurrent-related rescues and impact in-juries. These impact injuries are causedwhen a swimmer or wader is thrownagainst the ocean bottom or beach by apowerful wave.

Types of injuries sustained may beminor such as abrasions, muscle strainsand sprained joints, or injuries could bemore severe in nature such as disloca-tions, fractures, or the more serious head,neck or back injuries. We have seen in-juries such as these due to a naturally oc-curring condition known as shorebreak.

Before you can understand shore-break, you need to understand a little bitabout wave action and the contour of theocean’s bottom (bathometry) close toshore. Bathometry, a term we learnedwhile working with the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration, refersto the contour of the ocean’s bottom.Shorebreak has to do with the contour/slope of the ocean floor close to shore aswaves break.

A wave is a body ofwater moving alongthe surface of theocean. It loses speedand gains heightwhen it approachesthe shore. As thishappens, the depthof the water below

the wave becomes increasingly shallower. The size of the wave is affected by how

strong the wind is, the direction fromwhich it is blowing and tropical activity inthe Atlantic. As tropical events form andapproach the east coast, they cause largeand sometimes rough surf, especially inlate July and August. As a wave passesover the ocean bottom and the depth de-creases, the energy of the wave is forcedup until the wave can no longer maintainits form and it breaks (top of waveplunges forward). Depending on the tideand depth of the water, the waves maybreak on the sandbar causing the force ofthe wave to plunge into the deepertrough. This is the type of wave that is ap-propriate for body surfing or body board-ing because the wave is crashing orbreaking onto water that has sufficientdepth.

However, during high tide, the depthof the water over the sandbar will allowthe wave to continue toward the beach,building in size until it eventually runsout of water depth as it arrives on thebeach. When this happens, the wave willbreak on the shoreline with all of itscrushing force. This is what we call shore-

break and consequently, swimmers inshorebreaks land directly on the sand.

Landing on wet sand is no more for-giving than landing on concrete. Thesewaves are unpredictable and dangerousbecause they can cause serious shoulder,neck and spinal injuries to even the mostexperienced swimmer. The beach patrolrecommends that you never attempt toride waves that are breaking on the shoreor play in the impact zone (the area wherethe force of the wave is being delivered).

Although the beach patrol treats eventhe most minor injury to the head (abra-sion on foreheads, bloody noses, etc.) asthough it were a life and death spinal cordinjury, most turn out to be minor muscu-lar injuries rather than more serious frac-tures. Of the suspected head/neck andspinal injuries we respond to, 60 percentare caused by swimmers who ride a wave

OVER 50 NEWCRAFT BEERS

(Aug. 24, 2012) The spectrum of culi-nary topics is infinite; diversified subjectskeep one’s interest peaked. That beingsaid, gastronomic enthusiasts should ex-plore all areas that pertain to the art of“consumption.” Our teeth and gums arean intricate part of this delicate processand food has a direct correlation on thenatural preservation or deterioration.

A healthy, bright smile is a reflection ofwell-being and happiness. According to asurvey by American Academy of CosmeticDentistry, most adults (99.7 percent) be-

lieve a salubrious smileis important and (74percent) feel an attrac-tive smile is an asset inthe professional world.Pearly, white teeth alsoreduce the appearanceof one’s age.

Professional whiten-ing is more popular than ever and is quitepricey. But for those whose budget doesnot include cosmetic procedures, do notfret. Certain foods naturally cleanse andwhiten one’s teeth. You may not get theresults that Orbit chewing gum pro-claims, but the effort will certainly pay off.

The malic acid in strawberries re-moves surface discoloration. Simplycrush the strawberries to a pulp, then mixwith baking soda until blended. Spreadthe mixture onto your teeth and let standfor 5 minutes. Remove and brush thor-

oughly with toothpaste. Applying thestrawberry mixture more than once aweek may damage the enamel on yourteeth.

According to an article published inNutrition and You, pineapples containbromelain, which acts as a natural stainremover and also helps break up plaque.Pineapple is so versatile and easily par-lays with sweet or savory components.The luscious, sweet fruit also makes a re-freshing cocktail. Knowing the full poten-tial of foods allows one to create menuswith a different approach.

Ginger is an herb that is of intrinsicvalue. The aromatic, pungent rhizomenot only adds pizzazz to a dish, but is alsoequally known for its medicinal proper-ties. Ginger contains very potent anti-in-flammatory compounds; strong teethdepend on healthy gums.

Adding foods such as carrots, celery,

apples, and nuts requires one to chewoften, effectively removing food left be-hind. Carrots are also a great source of vi-tamin A, which is healthy for toothenamel.

Carrots and celery sticks instantly takeme back to my childhood. Mother packedour lunches to help save money. Wheel-ing and dealing was a common practiceduring lunchtime. Trying to trade carrotand celery sticks for chips and cupcakeswas not an easy task. Looking back, it wasa good thing — 54 years without a cavityis impressive.

Thanks, mom, for your love and wis-dom.

Shitake is my all-time favorite mush-room. The delectable fungus proudly dis-plays her desirable top. Do not discardthe lanky stems, for they make a wonder-ful addition to stocks and soups. Shitakeare also known as the “Elixir of Life,” due

There’s more to food consumption than taste and hunger satisfaction

Knowledge imparts confidence, whichstrengthens one’s ability to expand fromthe “normal” menu planning. We willsoon be saying adieu to the summer andbonjour to the fall. Chutney is adaptableand can be made to accompany any dish.

It can also be served hot or cold.Pineapple-ginger chutney with under-

tones of currants, red bell peppers andjalapenos parlays beautifully with char-coaled, crusty meats. Pork tenderloins,hotdogs, hamburgers, flank steaks andfresh tuna are just a few examples offoods that will pair delightfully with thesweet, savory condiment.

The element of “surprise” is not justfor the young at heart. Pineapple-gingerchutney can be made in advance, whichis always beneficial. The fragrant, pep-pery side dish will not only be relished byyour guests, but your teeth will say “thankyou.”

Pineapple-Ginger Chutney2 tablespoons canola oil1 large clove garlic, minced2 shallots, finely chopped1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped1/4 cup celery, chopped1 teaspoon jalapeno, finely chopped1 pound fresh pineapple, cubed1/2 cup currants2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, minced2 tablespoons light brown sugarjuice of 1 lemon1 cinnamon stick1/4 cup honey2 tablespoons rice vinegar1/4 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

into shore incorrectly, and the other 40percent are caused by swimmers divinginto shallow water or doing tricks such asflips and striking their head or neck on theocean floor.

Be assured that when the need arises,the Ocean City Beach Patrol is ready to re-spond. We have worked with trauma doc-tors to develop a specialized technique tomanage suspected head, neck and back in-juries. Although every surf rescue techni-cian is trained and skilled in the use ofthese techniques, it is far better for ourbeach patrons to have injuries preventedrather than treated. When body surfing,we recommend doing so with your headup and your arms out in front of the bodyto protect yourself. If using a boogie board,make sure you keep it out in front of youto prevent your head from hitting theshore (ride on the back half).

Taking responsibility for your own ac-tions and spreading caution about spinalcord injuries is the greatest form of pre-vention we have. Many people just do notrealize that wet sand is just as unyielding

as concrete — the impact of your head,neck or back with the beach could affectthe bones of the spinal column, whichcauses the damage and possible paralysis.Most people would never think of at-tempting a flip in the middle of a parkinglot for fear of striking the ground. How-ever, many of these same individuals willattempt these aerial maneuvers on thebeach or into a few inches of ocean water.

Please, use your head to protect yourspine, and think before diving or ridingbreaking waves onto the beach. Have fun,but remain safe! The beach patrol remindsyou to always check water depth beforediving. Our saying is, “ Feet first, first time,”which is to remind you to walk out into thesurf rather than running and diving.

To learn more about shorebreak visitour Web site, www.ococean.com/ocbp,click on the safety button and then theshorebreak video. This video has some ofthe best graphic images to help explainshorebreak that I have ever seen. You canalso get current information about thebeach patrol as well as daily stats and cur-rent beach conditions by following thebeach patrol on Twitter or “like us” on ourofficial OCBP Facebook page.
