Jay Hancock, spokesperson for the Ocean City Police, said, "While not all of these calls were because of the cruisers, we do believe their presence has had an impact on the number of calls." Ocean City Police Capt. Jeff Kelchner said a majority of the event's participants follow the law by simply displaying their cars for others to admire.

"There was a lot more firepower available to him," he said. Experts said Solomon described as a typical teen who grew sullen after his girlfriend dumped him this week was making a desperate cry for attention. "Certainly he had the option and the weapon to do more damage, and in not doing that, what he was doing was a way of getting attention," said Richard Gelles, professor of child welfare and family violence at the University of Pennsylvania. "He knew he would get it." Unlike Klebold and Harris, Solomon wasn't ostracized by popular students and didn't dress differently from his peers.

"He was just an average kid," said Joe Watts, a student.

The petition to remove Thornton cites several reasons, including his leaving the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando to visit a friend in Key West; charging the town for the rental car, gasoline and other expenses to Key West: charging the town for the hotel in Orlando while he was in Key West; and items charged on the town credit card by him and his wife in December which were then given as personal Christmas gifts.

Thorton said he has not seen the petition but will soon tell his side of the story. Attorney Revell Lewis III, who file the petition, said he anticipates further investigation will reveal more facts, "but further comment would be inappropriate." CEMETERY: Move sought CEMETERY, from Page 1 Darrell Middleton. a member of the Sons of the Union, said the organization thought Harris would be a good candidate because he was a veteran of the only war fought in Sussex County Harris and his father. Benton, a Georgetown merchant, were in Lewes when British ships bombarded the city. The group also thought Harris would be a good candidate because his grave needed rescue.

"There are a lot of very expensive cars here that people have put a lot of time and money into," Kelchner said. "Those people aren't going to do anything to put their cars in harm's way." But despite event organizers' warnings to participants to handle their cars responsibly during the three-day event, a small group of participants Thursday night and Friday morning still used Coastal Highway and other public roads to spin their wheels and hold speed contests at traffic signals both of which are illegal.

Kelchner said the event has scheduled parades and programs to allow the participants to show what their cars can do.
