BOARD PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Looking forward...
We are entering the time of year where the weather turns a
little cooler, the leaves are prettier and the composition of the
OPA Board is sometimes altered. With near-perfect weather
and four newly appointed Association officers, this year is no
exception.
Having served previously as Association President, I have
no illusions about what the job entails. Put simply, it is a lot
of work. Having been there before for one year, I can really appreciate the amount
of time and effort that Tom Terry has donated to the Community over the past four
years. I also want to acknowledge Terri Mohr for her dedicated three years service as
a Director and Jeff Knepper for so capably filling in for Dan Stachurski during the
past year. I want to thank them on behalf of the entire Association membership.
Dave Stevens
As Tom said in his last report, a lot was accomplished over the four years he was
President and it culminated in the Spring opening of the new Yacht Club and pool,
together the largest projects in Ocean Pines history. Aided by fine weather, good
food and talented entertainment, the Yacht Club truly added another dimension of
enjoyment to OPA members.
The one thing always true of Ocean Pines is that our aging community never runs
out of challenges. Let me share with you those that I consider important and how I
hope the Board will approach them.
• We must complete remaining Yacht Club construction, but also use
lessons learned to determine how it can be best operated and managed
in the future.
• Having invested heavily to bring the Golf Course to its finest condition
in years we must explore all options for its future operation .
• Natural gas has arrived in Worcester County; the next step is to reach an
agreement that will protect all Ocean Pines members now and in the future.
•
We need a long-term Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that is requirements-based, balances maintenance, renovation and replacement
options, and is supported by independent engineering reports and
reserve studies.
• We need to take advantage of industry’s best business practice as we
address an Ops information technology infrastructure that will support
more effective and cost-efficient operations.
•
With the cooperation of the County’s leadership and the establishment
of a dedicated ditch cleaning crew under OPA Public works, significant
steps have been taken to alleviate drainage in our most impacted areas;
there is much more surveying and planning work to be done until we
arrive at a complete solution.
The approach to accomplishing these tasks is to form small working groups
comprised of qualified OPA member volunteers who possess relevant experience
and Association staff. These groups will conduct their work in open meetings and
report their results and recommendations directly to the Board.
It will take time and hard work from all of us to meet these challenges. I thank
you for your trust and I welcome your support. Enjoy this beautiful fall weather and
the upcoming holiday season.

As the summer season comes to a close and the fall season
begins, it is remarkable to look back at the success we had over
the summer.
First I would like to send a big THANK YOU to Terri
Mohr and Jeff Knepper, our outgoing Board Members.
Their low-key approach, attention to detail and collaborative
working efforts will be missed. I truly appreciated working
with each of them as they brought a level of professionalism
and business sense to the Board. Terri’s background in the Bob Thompson
medical field, specifically practice management, and Jeff ’s
background as an Intel executive brought a lot of business acumen to our organization.
That’s not to say we didn’t have our differences, just ask Terri about our challenging
exchanges about service related issues here in our community. Or maybe you could
ask Jeff about our differing positions about messaging impact. More important
was the approach they used to air our differences and the constructive way they each
went about it. The level of understanding, professionalism and leadership they each
brought to our organization helped promote a positive organizational atmosphere at
all levels. The high level of respect they shared towards the staff and me helped create
an atmosphere of success. Together we made huge strides forward on behalf of the
Association. Their time, dedication and effort on behalf of all of us are appreciated
and will be sorely missed.
The Yacht Club had its highest revenue months in the history of our organization.
More people are using the new facility than ever before. Our banquet/events have
been extremely successful and our a la cart business did very well. This fall we will
be modifying our schedule from 7 days a week to 5. We will be open Wednesday
through Sunday and closed Monday/Tuesday
as business is typically much slower those two
days. This fall/winter we will also be putting
more focus on punch list items and décor for
the new facility in addition to evaluating what
operational areas need to be improved. While
we are very excited with the opening of the new
facility and the success we had this summer,
there is still a lot to be accomplished. The great
part is we have certainly come out of the gate strong!
Golf at Ocean Pines has certainly been under a lot of scrutiny over the years and
even more so in recent years. With that being said, things are certainly looking up.
While May and June numbers exceeded previous year’s numbers, they fell short of
the aggressive numbers in the budget. July landed within $754 dollars of their budget
and August exceeded budget! The better-than-budget performance in August will
help chip away at the May and June shortfalls. Bookings for the fall are looking
strong and if weather stays good, September
is shaping up to be another good month. On
another positive note, we have continued to
receive praise for the course conditions this year.
Conditions are great, rounds are up and revenue
is climbing!
We have put a lot of time, effort and
money into these two amenities over the last
couple of years. As I have shared with you, the
investments we have made in our Yacht Club and our Golf Course have been with
a long-term focus in place. We are now finally seeing those investments paying
off. The strong summer for the Yacht Club combined with the positive trending
Continued on page 4
OCEANPINES.ORG | FALL 2014 | OCEAN PINES REPORT 3
FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
for golf are great signs these amenities are moving in the right
direction.
Another amenity showing improvement is Aquatics. We are
slightly below budget year-to-date; however, we are currently in
the black $109,481 which is
approximately $42 k ahead
of last year for the same
time period. Swim lessons
continue to thrive and
remain ahead of budget for
the 4th month in a row and
daily user fees are ahead of
budget for 3 and on budget for 1 of the last 4 months.
Other areas finishing the summer strong include the
Marinas, Beach Club Parking and the Beach Club, all of which
ended ahead of budget through the month of August. Also
worth noting is that our Rec & Parks team ran one of our most
successful summer camps
in years, which added
to the strong bottomline performance of the
Association. While we are
only one-third of the way
through our fiscal year, I
am very pleased with all
the work the OPA team
has accomplished.
As the fall is upon us, keep your eye out for one of the many
upcoming projects. There will be road paving, work on the
Swim and Racquet/Mumford’s Pools, bulkhead work, White
Horse Boat Ramp replacement and County work on water
lines. Additionally, leaves
will start falling soon,
which means it is time for
leaf collection. Remember
Waste Management will
pick up 4 additional bags
of leaves with each regular
weekly trash pickup. We
will have crews running the leaf vacuums for the ditches and a
crew picking up bagged leaves. Bagged leaves MUST BE IN
PAPER BAGS this year for our crew to pick them up. The price
of disposal is more than double if they are in plastic bags. So if
they are bagged in plastic bags, we will not be picking them up.
Put them out with your regular trash pickup 4 bags at a time
or have a service company pick them up. Also remember the
Public Works yard will be open for yard debris. Please bring
items during regular business hours and do not leave them
stacked outside the gate.
As always we are moving forward on a lot of different fronts.
With an Association of our size, age and diversity, there will always
be multiple balls in the air. Every now and then we may drop one,
but the hope is to keep majority where they need to be. If you

TREASURER’S REPORT
As we begin a new fiscal year (May 1-April
30), I look forward to serving the membership
as your Treasurer. I will complete that task to
the best of my ability and focus on keeping
you informed of financial developments as they Jack Collins
unfold throughout the year. I offer a special
thanks to my predecessors Bill Cordwell and assistant Treasurer
Pete Gomsak for their time, effort, and contributions to the
reporting of our financial status.
In keeping with the recent tradition of commenting on
reported results, I offer the follow observations. As a convenience
to our membership, in the future the controller’s report will
be posted on the OPA website under the tab “administration,
forms and documents-monthly financials”. Because we are
in the process of completing an active summer and early fall
season it would be difficult to draw any meaningful conclusions
from the first quarter results.
*At the summary level: Comments attributed to Controller
Art Carmine

• YTD: revenues are over budget by $14,675; total expenses
under budget by $2556. New capital is over budget by $4,475
Our amenities reflect a mixed result as measured by net

COUNTY NEWS
Public Invited to Weigh in on
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update October 7
The Worcester County Commissioners will conduct a
public hearing Tuesday, October 7, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. in the
Worcester County Government Center in Snow Hill to receive
public comment on the 2014 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update.
All interested citizens are encouraged to attend the hearing
and express their views on these matters. Copies of the draft 2014
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update are available for viewing on the
County website at www.co.worcester.md.us prior to the hearing.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan, originally adopted in 2006, is
designed to evaluate and provide proactive strategies to potential
natural hazards that endanger the lives and properties of area
residents and visitors. The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and the Maryland Emergency Management
Agency (MEMA) mandate that each local jurisdiction prepare
and adopt a hazard mitigation plan. The Town of Ocean City,
which adopts its own plan, is not included in the draft 2014
Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Hazard Mitigation Plan is only a
planning document and does not obligate the County to fund
projects included therein. For additional information, contact

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Neighborhood Watch Crime Bulletin # 52
Our Latest and Greatest Crime Bulletin
Information gathered from citizens is a critical component in effective
law enforcement. Criminals often like to talk about their activities,
and citizens are the eyes and ears of our community. Suspicious
activity needs to be reported, and it is often the alert observations
of a citizen that provides critical information to the police. With
this in mind, I will be highlighting an unsolved case in each Crime
Bulletin with the hope that one of our citizens may have heard or
seen something that was not reported to the police. Information can
be passed along anonymously to the listed investigator.
• Robbery Investigation:
On August 14, police responded to Duck Cove Circle with the report
of a robbery. A female victim reported that a white male, wearing a
dark colored hooded sweatshirt, with a mask covering half his face,
approached her in her driveway and threatened her with a hammer.
The suspect then took her wallet and fled on foot. A dark colored
vehicle, low to the ground, was seen leaving the area immediately
afterward. Follow-up investigation listed the suspect as a white male,
between 18-25 years of age with light-colored bangs sticking out
of the hoodie. Any citizen having information about this case can
contact Detective First Class Tish Ottey at 410-641-7747.
• Bomb Threat:
With the advent of social media, cyber bullying and threats can
be made online. As recent national events have illustrated, police
We
must take these threats seriously. A local juvenile made threats to
injure other juveniles with an alleged explosive device. Included
with these threats was a picture of the alleged device. Ocean Pines
Police obtained a search warrant and located a homemade hoax
device incapable of detonation. The juvenile was charged with several
related criminal charges and placed in the custody of the Department
of Juvenile Services. Assisting in this investigation was the Worcester
County Fire Marshall’s Office, the Worcester County Sheriff ’s
Department and the Ocean City Bomb Squad. These threats are
taken very seriously by all public safety agencies.
• Domestic Violence Arrests:
Since our last Crime Bulletin, police have made five (5) arrests for
domestic assault within our community.
• Assault on a Police Office:
In one of these domestic assault cases, the responding police officer
was assaulted, and the suspect was charged with Second Degree
Assault.
• Burglary/Theft Arrests:
Three local juveniles were arrested for 2nd Degree Burglary of the
Ocean Pines Tennis Clubhouse. Police regularly do security checks of
all Ocean Pines facilities, at night.
• Theft from Vehicles Arrest:
A 23-year-old man was charged with multiple thefts from
unlocked vehicles in the Robinhood Trail neighborhood. Luckily,
most of the stolen property was recovered before the suspect had
a chance of disposing of it. This points out, once again, the need

“If you are lucky enough to live on the water,
you are lucky enough.” How many times
have you heard or read this and thought:
Yes, that’s right! We in Ocean Pines are
that lucky. The St. Martin’s River and our
surrounding bays are a gift and likely the
primary reason most of us chose to live here.
Even if you don’t go out on the water often,
you know it’s there to enjoy any time you like.
But how long will it be enjoyable if we fail to
take care of it and continuously work to improve it?

However, we should all remember that
these waters contribute not only to our quality
of life but also to the monetary value of our
homes. Surely, everyone is interested in this!

Maryland Coastal Bays just issued its 2013 Coastal Bays
Report Card. Once again, the St. Martin’s river “achieved”
the lowest grade, a D+. Some of the river’s issues emanate
from agricultural runoff but residential communities
located near the river (and bays) must acknowledge
their culpability as well. Each of us can do more to help
improve the quality of our most-valued resource. Over the
years since its inception, Green Street has provided any
number of suggestions to Ocean Pines homeowners, such
as: planting native plant gardens, reducing fertilizer use,
setting up rain-barrels, picking up pet waste, minimizing
impervious surfaces by using pavers/gravel in lieu of asphalt
or concrete, making sure ditches are cleaned out and not
dug too deep, being careful to use eco-friendly cleaning
products when washing cars and boats; and the list goes on.
The Environment & Natural Assets Advisory
Committee urges OP residents to read the
Coastal Bays Report Card (available on line at
mdcoastalbays.org or at the library in hard copy). It
provides a wealth of information on what nutrients are
overloading our waterways and the damage they can cause
to sea grasses and wildlife. If a D+ is acceptable for the
water where you crab, fish, water-ski, paddleboard, etc.,
then don’t bother to read the report or to consider actions
Consider the water view from the porch of our
home in Ocean Pines: Canal to the right and left, small,
complex waves crisscrossing its surface, propelled by the
wind between the houses that line its banks, by the tidal
influences of the sun and moon, and by the sides of the
canal that deflect the waves back into each other. Air
currents buffet the faint clouds, disturb the water’s surface,
and force flying birds to adjust their flight paths even while
supporting their flight; myriad creatures move undetected
below the water’s opaque surface. By contrast, trees,
bushes and homes lining the banks seem fixed, changing
much more slowly.
We look at this landscape from our protected porch,
knowing that, because we are on vacation, time stands still
and everything exists only in the present - except that the
surface of the water, roiling with thousands and thousands
of small, complex waves, hints at the real truth: Everything
in fact changes constantly, mostly in increments too small
for us to notice; time only moves forward.

Community Embraces Farmers Market
The Ocean Pines Farmers Market has become more than a
market, it’s now a community gathering place in White Horse
Park, with entertainment, events and educational activities.
Every Saturday morning
the community comes out
from 8 am to 1pm to shop
with the vendors and
mingle with neighbors,
family and friends. This
past summer record
crowds filled the market,
as they placed into their
market baskets everything
from fresh produce to handmade artisan products.
This fall and winter, 28 vendors will be participating at the
year-round open air Farmers Market. Several new vendors
will be offering even more choices for shoppers. Additions
include wild caught Alaskan fish from Alaskan Wild Seafoods,
oceanpines.org
naturally grown beef and
pork products from Great
Expectations Farm and
retro confections and local
made gourmet ice cream
from Seashell Sweets.
On October 25th the
Farmers Market kicks off
the Fall Festival in White
Horse Park. Many vendors
will be offering specials to
celebrate the event-filled
day. The Thanksgiving Market on November 22 will have
everything for the holiday dinner table. Fresh turkey, beef, pork,
seafood, seasonal vegetables, fruits, baked goods, Maryland
wines and more will be available.
Celebrate the holidays with your Ocean Pines Farmers
Market. Throughout the season shoppers will find fresh-cut
greens, handmade rope garlands, swags and wreaths. A special
Christmas Market will be held on Saturday, December 20th.
Baked goods, jams,
jellies,
preserves,
seasonal citrus fruits,
nuts, fresh produce,
poultry, meats and
more will be ready for
the holiday kitchen.

Farmers markets were once the typical way of selling
produce and products for centuries. Today they’ve again
grown to become an important part of the local community.
A hobby of sewing, knitting, pottery, working with leather or
wood products or creating handmade products could become a
lucrative small business.
The Ocean Pines Farmers Market offers vending
opportunities in several categories: green market, artisan goods,
hand-crafted merchandise and re-used goods. If you would
like to become part of the Farmers Market, and sell your own
produced products, then consider becoming an Ocean Pines
Farmers Market vendor.
For more information on vending at the Ocean Pines
Farmers Market, contact Market Manager David Bean at 410251-6383 or at [email protected].

House Number Signs Assist Fire and Police
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines - Ocean City performs
a community service for the residents of Ocean Pines. For years
the club makes “House Number Signs” available for purchase by
residents of Ocean Pines. The signs are OPA approved official
signs. The reason for the signs is to assist first responders of
the fire department and police department to identify which
residence is in need of assistance. Kiwanis members install the
signs out by the street to enable easy visibility, as many house
numbers are not easy to see from the street, especially in dark.
The sign, pictured inside the Ocean Pines Association entrance
on the left, is brown with orange numbers. The applications
for new signs costing $15
or re-painting of the signs
costing $10 as seen above
the sign are available below
the green sign explaining
the process. While the
cost of the signs is not
intended to be a fundraiser,
any monies left over after
material costs, is applied to
the club’s administration
budget. Lots of hard work
for a great safety cause.

WHAT IS WLGO?
“Star Charities founder Anna Foultz and her volunteers presented
a check for $1500 to Maureen McNeill, Director of Development,
Coastal Hospice July 18th at the Ocean Pines Library. The money
was raised at Star Charities’ annual Western Night held at Ocean
Downs July 10th. Pictured from left: Peggy Rumberg, Lily Tunis, Lee
Tilghman, Sandy McAbee, Janet Donaway, Anna Foultz, Maureen
McNeill, Irmgard Heinecke, and Mary Evans.”
The World’s Largest Golf Outing (WLGO) was created in 2011
when Peter Hill, CEO of Billy Casper Golf, said you know what
would be really cool? Having all of our golf courses hold a golf outing
on the same day. He then said, you know what would be even cooler?
Having this event make a difference. And

Environment & Natural Assets Advisory Committee, in
collaboration with the Maryland Coastal Bays Program,
developed a landscaping plan for the Swim and Racquet Club to
include native trees and shrubs which will reduce stormwater
runoff and create shady areas for a park-like venue for
residents to enjoy. The OP Board of Directors
approved the plan and Maryland Coastal Bays was
successful in obtaining a grant through the Maryland
Governor’s Stream Restoration Challenge Award
which permits us to proceed with the landscaping
project. To quote the Governor: “The Stream
Restoration Challenge is an opportunity for our
children to learn outside of the classroom and connect
with the natural world around them. These projects

Worcester County Emergency Services (WCES) invites
the public to participate in a free, 8-session Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT) course.
The training takes place at the Ocean Pines Volunteer
Fire Department South Station, on Wednesdays from
6:30 – 9:30 p.m. from October 8 – November 8, 2014, with
Cardiopulmonary Response (CPR) and Automatic External
Defibrillator (AED) training to take place during class on
October 22.
CERT is an extremely informative, hands-on, educational
program packed with information to equip residents, who
have no prior emergency medical training, to support their
families and communities during a disaster. Participants will
gain the decision-making and practical skills necessary to offer
immediate assistance to those in need following an emergency
until further help can arrive.
“CERT helps you prepare yourself, your family, your community
to face a wide variety of emergencies,” WCES Emergency Planner
Tom Kane said. “CERT just makes you safer.”
Participants will learn basic lifesaving skills, such as CPR/AED,
First Aid and fire suppression. They will also learn to recognize
both natural and manmade hazards. Upon completion of this
program, students will be able to create disaster plans and supply
kits and aid in responding to hazardous material emergencies.
Those who successfully complete the training will receive
CPR and First Aid certification thorough the American Heart
Association.
During the course, instructors will provide information on
hazards typical to Worcester County, hazardous materials in
the home and the National Incident Management System.
Instruction is geared to help residents better prepare and survive
during the first 36 to 72 hours after a catastrophic event when
local first responder resources are stretched to their limits.
CERT is made possible through a grant from Atlantic
General Hospital, thereby allowing WCES to offer this
valuable training at no cost to all interested residents.
Space is limited to 20 individuals and is available on a first
come, first served basis. For more info or to register, contact
Tom Kane at 410-632-3080 or [email protected]

2014 Leaf Collection Program
Waste Management Customers can have up to four bags of leaves
each pickup in addition to your regular trash pickup. If you live on
the South Side of Route 90 Bridge,
collections are on Tuesdays and Fridays.
If you live on the North Side of Route
90 Bridge, collections are on Mondays
and Thursdays. Branches will be picked
up if tied in bundles limited to 4’ long.
In addition, Ocean Pines Public Works
will also be collecting any amount of
PAPER BAGS ONLY on the North
or South side the opposite days of
Waste Management starting November 17, 2014 and will be in each
section at least once a week. If you rake just your ditch out to the
street, Public Works will pick the leaves up. If it’s obvious you have
raked your yard leaves to the ditch, they will not be picking them up,
until they are in PAPER BAGS only.

Farewell to an Amazing Friend & Talented Photographer,
John T. Harris
At the first OPMGA Men’s Day last week, the members took a moment
before heading out on the course to pay a tribute and say “thank you”
to John Harris who passed HIGHLIGHTS
away this spring. John often participated in
COMMUNITY
OPGCC events, and when he wasn’t, he was taking pictures on the
course and elsewhere in Ocean Pines. Rest in Peace, John. You are missed.

along with our tour companion Steve Habeger we will take a
tour of the facility. We will make several stops during the day,
leaving enough time for lunch at the cafeteria.
Trip cost is $25 per person this does not include the cost of
lunch. Bus departs Community Center at 9:00am; tour starts
upon arrival at the facility (approximately 10a). Lunch on site
12:00p & return to Ocean Pines, approximately 4:00pm.

or come in 7 days a week for information, and be placed on the
waiting trip for the month of your choice.
