Teachers ‘walk in’ in protest

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

GOOD SIGNS Ocean City restaurants, retail shops and other businesses, the beach and Boardwalk, pictured here Sunday, saw large crowds during the Memorial Day weekend as an estimated 250,000 people were in town. “If this weekend was any indication of what summer will be like then I think we will have an outstanding summer ahead,” said Jessica Waters, communications manager for the Town of Ocean City. See story on Page 6.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) While nothing will be finalized until the Worcester County Commissioners formally adopt their 2016 budget next week, reaction has been strong to their plan to eliminate funding for mid-year cost-of-living adjustments for teachers, let alone the step increases called for in the contract between the Board of Education and the Worcester County Teacher’s Association. On Wednesday morning, about 45 teachers at Stephen Decatur High School staged a “walk in,” where they ceremonially entered the school together at the required time of 7:45 a.m. and planned to walk out in the same fashion at dismissal time, according to Beth Shockley-Lynch, president of the teachers’ union. Shockley-Lynch said a similar plan had emerged at Buckingham Elementary School, and stressed that the See EDUCATORS Page 5

Lifeguards hit in Craigslist rental scam Criminal impersonating local realtor swindles $7K out of Canadian workers

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) Picture this: driving about 600 miles from Montreal, Canada to Ocean City for a job on the Ocean City Beach Patrol, rolling up to the condominium that had already been paid for via an Internet rental company and then finding that the condominium had been gutted and is unlivable. Worse still, the rental company responsible for all this apparently does not exist. This is what happened to Beach

Patrol members Sunday night, when a summer housing ad placed on Craigslist by “Ocean City Vacation Rentals Management” turned out to be a scam that cost them $7,000 and their housing for the summer. Youcef Belrachid was distraught on Tuesday as he wondered where he would be sleeping after his lifeguarding shift ended. “I have no money to make a deposit on another place and we pay a $1,000 Visa to come here. I love this job. We come back every summer because we love it and to be scammed is a shame,” he said. Belrachid, along with his brother Rahym, and friends Aude LemaireHamel and Adam Bielawski, were all See REALTORS Page 4

Distracted skateboarder breaks woman’s hip Lyn Pilcicki, 73, hit from behind crossing Boardwalk, faces long recovery time

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) When most people hear about a serious collision in Ocean City, they think pedestrian vs. automobile. But last week marked the first instance of a major injury, at least in recent memory, from a skateboard-on-pedestrian accident. On Wednesday, May 20, at roughly 2:45 p.m., local homeowner Lyn Pilcicki was struck by a skateboarder on the Boardwalk, breaking her hip. The skater, who Pilcicki identified as a 21-year-old Berlin man, ran into

Fatal accident in Worcester County Monday morning

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) An Elkridge, Md. man was killed Monday morning in a one-car crash on the Route 90 ramp, Maryland State Police at the Berlin Barrack reported. Police said a preliminary investigation showed that the car being driven by Travis Irving, 32, left the road and struck a tree. The vehicle came to a rest, but Irving did not have his seatbelt on and was ejected from his car. Irving was the sole occupant of the car and was pronounced dead upon arrival of medical personnel. His family was notified and Irving’s body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy. The area was closed for about two hours after the collision with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland Office of Chief Medical Examiner, Berlin Fire Department and Maryland State Highway administration all assisting.

her as she crossed the boards from a french fry stand to the bench where her husband was seated. “Apparently [the skater] had been looking into the arcade as he went by, and when he looked forward, there I was,” Pilcicki said. “It wasn’t just the board that hit me, it was his whole body. I went flying through the air and came down on my hip.” Ocean City police officers and EMS arrived on the scene, and Pilcicki was taken to Atlantic General Hospital. At age 73, she faces a difficult recovery. Ocean City Police Department Public Information Officer Lindsay Richard confirmed that officers had rendered aid and taken a report, but that the skater had not committed an actual offense. “While it is very unfortunate that this resulted in a serious injury, there

is no charge where we can issue tickets for reckless skateboarding or bicycling,” Richard said. The skater stayed on the scene and was very apologetic, Pilcicki noted. Had Pilcicki been on the Boardwalk three days later, she may have been safe. Beginning the Saturday before Memorial Day, and ending after Labor Day, bicycles, skateboards, and similar conveyances are allowed on the boards only from 2 a.m. to 11 a.m. Or, if Pilcicki had been on the boards the same day, but three years ago, she would’ve also avoided the accident. Skateboards were previously banned from the Boardwalk at any time, but the city changed that policy in the fall of 2012 to allow skateboards simultaneously with bicycles. Although an isolated incident, Pilcicki said she was surprised that

skateboards were allowed that late in the year. “As far as I’m concerned, nobody should’ve been skateboarding,” Pilcicki said. “There’s too much potential for something to happen. If I had been a little kid, I could’ve been killed.” Pilcicki and her husband live in Solomons, Md., but own a condo in Ocean City where they stay for several weeks during the summer. While many of the city’s summertime use restrictions run Memorial Day to Labor Day, others begin earlier in the season. Dogs, for instance, are banned from the Boardwalk starting May 1. Earlier this year, a request from the Ocean City Development Corporation to allow dogs later into the season was denied by the city’s police commission, citing overcrowding issues.

Realtors say more scammers using their info Continued from Page 1 supposed to live at the Nassau Village in unit 50 on 94th Street this summer, or so they thought. Now, the Montrealers find themselves at a crossroads as what to do and where to turn. The Ocean City Police Department could not write a report since the incident did not occur in its jurisdiction, Belrachid said. The money was sent through PayPal, whose insurance policy does not cover real estate or services. PayPal did file a claim for the group, but if the scammer answers in 10 business days and disputes the charges, PayPal does not investigate and the case is closed, Belrachid said. “They are not understanding how critical the situation is.

lifeguards that it represents Nassau Village and that unit 50 would not be ready until July 4. The company also only does weekly rentals. In addition to lifting information and pictures from Central Reservations’ website, the fraudulent outfit also took company owner Mark Fritschle’s name to make the Craigslist ad and pretended to be him through emails with the lifeguards. The fictional company’s ad included an email address, phone number, trademark and copyright icons, Belrachid said. At first, a $1,000 deposit was sent after the lifeguards received a contract. Suddenly, he said, the supposed landlord wanted all the money up front and claimed it was in the contract. Belrachid said they were looking at other properties in the area where the money was needed up front in those living spaces and he figured it was common in the United States. “Scammers know we are not from here. It’s easy to steal identities online and it’s hard to trace, but we are not dropping this. If it keeps happening over and over to people, it means we are not shouting loud enough,” Belrachid said. There have been helpful people the last couple of days, but Belrachid wishes he could find a solution. “Maybe we could start a fundraiser to get back some of the money, people could donate anything,” he added. “We are just lifeguards trying to enjoy our summer and things like this shouldn’t happen.” Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin sees this unfortunate incident as a way to educate and advise employees to ask for help with housing to avoid future scam artists. “We can verify the housing and make sure it’s a legitimate place,” he added. “Beach Patrol is all about educating and hopefully this story prevents this happening to others.” That is possible, however, as the OC Vacation Rentals scam has become a major concern of local rental companies, with others, such as Resort Rentals and ReMax Rentals also receiving reports of online misrepresentations. Robbie Harmon, who manages Central Reservations, said they have received numerous calls about Craigslist ads and have contacted the Federal Trade Commission as a result. Harmon said she has seen scams before, but people showing up to rent properties with false contracts for locations Central Reservations represents, is a new angle for these scam artists. She also added for the benefit of any would-be renters that Central Reservations does not post ads on Craigslist or accept PayPal. “I feel terrible for these folks,” Harmon said.

Educators push back after county scrubs raises again Continued from Page 1 participating teachers developed these plans independent of union action. “In my opinion, I am glad these teachers are taking action, and it’s unfortunate we’ve gotten to this point,” Shockley-Lynch said. In establishing the public school budget, the county commissioners decide how to fill 13 separate areas of the Board of Education’s budget, of which one is employee salary. The teachers’ union can then negotiate a contract based on that figure. Teachers expect a step increase, or a merit and experience-based bump, annually and sign a contract to that effect. The county commissioners, however, have and intend to use an escape clause that allows them not to fund the step increases because of financial limitations. The county employed this measure in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Some of the commissioners also thought that the Board of Education could, in its own budgeting process, find efficiencies that would free money for salary increases. “If the county commissioners decide to fund the school system at a Maintenance of Effort level Worcester County Public Schools will not be provided adequate funding to fulfill its contractual obligations to fund salary schedules,” Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson said. “This is a disappointing development. Our staff works tirelessly to meet the needs of our students. It hurts not to be able to recognize them with a reasonable pay increase.” Maintenance of Effort is a state law that requires counties to provide funding to schools at least equal to the previous year’s level. The law became necessary after several Maryland counties gutted school budgets

to meet spending targets. A petition, started Tuesday afternoon by Decatur student Zainab Mirza, urged the commissioners to reconsider their position. At press time it had gained nearly 1,000 signatures. “My understanding is that SDHS teachers wore blue and white and entered the school building together this morning to show solidarity for pay raises. We believe that our proposed FY 2016 budget — which seeks one step and a 2.5 percent COLA — should be funded by our county government. Our teachers and staff need and deserve a pay raise,” Barb Witherow, spokeswoman for the schools, said. A majority of the commissioners reported having heard plenty from the public on the topic through social media, e-mails and calls. Teachers do have options, some of which are potentially lucrative depending on their circumstances. They can, for instance, change jobs to other counties and have their skipped steps restored. For example, a teacher in Worcester County with a master’s degree on step 10 makes a base salary of $53,190. If that teacher had worked at the schools through the time when steps were interrupted their base salary would be $59,650. That teacher could accept a position in Wicomico or Somerset, have their steps restored and earn $59,706 or $60,315 in base salary immediately. It’s not just neighboring counties, either. One teacher, speaking on condition of anonymity, is considering making a move into a Delaware school system. This teacher is currently on step 8 with a master’s degree, earning him about $50,000 annually in base salary. In the district he is considering, he would potenSee TEACHERS Page 6

Businesses report strong weekend to start season OCBP sees little activity; cool waters push patrons to restaurants, bars, stores

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) The mild weather brought hundreds of thousands of people to Ocean City restaurants, stores and hotels over the Memorial Day weekend, with many resort businesses having record-setting days and sold-out nights. “It was a great weekend, with Saturday being the busiest day. There was a line out the door starting at noon,” said Carl Bozick, general manager at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill on 54th Street. Bozick said he has seen the restaurant become increasingly busy with each Memorial Day weekend over the past 10 years. Farther south in Ocean City, the Shoreham Hotel was sold out on Saturday and Sunday on 4th Street and the Boardwalk, Owner Greg Shockley said. “Shenanigans Pub had a great weekend. We are off to a good start,” he added.

Quiet Storm stores on the Boardwalk at N. Division Street and 75th Street were up 10 percent from last year, said owner Bill Dreibelbis. “Saturday was the big day on the Boardwalk with it being cooler and shops did awesome. There was a lot of people walking around,” Dreibelbis said. “Sunday and Monday were still great, it was a nice weekend and we were happy.” OC Wasabi on 33rd Street had a “record Memorial Day weekend,” according to owner Kenny Diu. “We had a strong weekend at both locations [14th Street and the Boardwalk & 125th Street]. Very good indicators for a great summer,” said Director of Marketing for Grotto Pizza, Vinnie DiNatale. Seacrets on 49th Street was packed with people waiting to get in before doors opened at 9 a.m. It was announced on the radio they had to close as least once on Saturday due to capacity. “It was a great weekend, the weather was great and there were quite a few people in town,” said Gary Figgs, vice president of Seacrets. The city estimates about 250,000 people came for Memorial Day week-

I’m holding out as long as I can, but we’re not getting steps and everything costs more.” The teacher said he “loves Worcester County and his school,” but because of a family situation he needs to “start earning more.” “The Board of Education does a lot we don’t need to do,” Shockley-Lynch said, “and everything takes manpower. Do we eliminate football?”

Shockley-Lynch said even if the school board finds money within their budget if adopted in its current form, the county would still need to approve changes in funding levels between the 13 categories. “They’re going to have to be OK with the backlash if we don’t have things,” she said. School employees are not the only ones not seeing a salary increase in the proposed 2016 budget. County employees, also operating on a step program, will not see a raise in 2016, and skipped the same steps as the teachers.

‘After a long, cold winter, this weekend was just what East Coasters needed to look forward to the warm days ahead’ OC Communications Manager Jessica Waters end, Jessica Waters, Town of Ocean City Communications Manager, said. “If this weekend was any indication of what summer will be like then I think we will have an outstanding summer ahead,” she added. “The weather was great, the visitors were happy and businesses were busy. After a long, cold winter, this weekend was just what East Coasters needed to look forward to the warm days ahead.” Friday was pretty full, but Saturday and Sunday were the sell-out days at hotels this weekend, said Susan Jones of the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association. There are 109 hotels, motels and a couple condominium lodging properties with around 9,500 rooms in Ocean City and about 100 restaurant members, she said. “It certainly seems like we’ve started off the season in a positive direction. It was a tad cool on Saturday, which pushed many visitors to the boardwalk, attractions and restaurants. Most businesses, both hotels and restaurants had a fabulous weekend thanks to the plentiful sunshine,” Jones said. She said advanced reservations are looking good for the season and “they are cautiously optimistic that the

summer of 2015 will be a successful one.” Sunny skies were abundant all weekend and a cool wind drove people to restaurants and stores, but hundreds of visitors and locals made sure to spend some time on the beach. Water temperatures were in the lower 60s, which kept a majority of beachgoers out of the water with no reported rescues this weekend, Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin said. “A lot of people were laying behind wind breaks to catch the sunny clear skies and it was a beautiful weekend,” he added. “Monday was the best day, but with check outs people aren’t able to spend the whole day at the beach, which made Sunday the most crowded.” Memorial Day weekend is when Beach Patrol lifeguards take to their stands until September 27. They launched the season with a prayer service on the Boardwalk Saturday morning followed by a pre-season leadership meeting and were on guard by 10 a.m. “I think it’s going to be a great summer. We move into our new headquarters, still have one more recruiting test and staff wise it’s looking like a good year,” Arbin said.

MEMORIAL DAY EXODUS Westbound Route 90 spent most of Monday clogged with travelers leaving the shore and returning home after the three-day holiday weekend. Traffic was backed up two lanes deep from the 62nd Street entrance to the bridge until the mid-70th Street section of the resort. Traffic on the Harry Kelley bridge was also slow, but was generally a better option for getting off the island on Monday. Travelers reported delays of about an hour. Traffic patterns for entering Ocean City remained largely unaffected. BRIAN GILLILAND/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Fewer total calls, more arrests for PD over weekend

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) As compared to the previous weekend’s Cruisin’ OC festivities, total law enforcement activity over the Memorial Day weekend was down slightly, as any number of people would suspect. The thing is, the number of actual arrests spiked over the holiday, according to police statistics. From May 14 to May 17, the Thursday-through-Sunday span of Cruisin’ OC, the Ocean City Police Department recorded 2,091 service calls. From May 21 to May 24, the same span over Memorial Day Weekend, the department logged 1,755 calls. Cruisin’ marked its 25th annual spring vintage car show two weeks ago. But the event has come under increasing pressure over the ill behavior others who came into town over the weekend, but who were not Cruisin’ participants. Both the show’s promoters and resort officials have expressed concern over the increasing numbers of “hangers-on” who are not involved in the event itself, which takes place in the inlet and convention center parking lots, but rather to cause trouble on Coastal Highway. However, the number of actual arrests made during Cruisin’ was comparatively low, at 56 over four days as compared to 102 over the Thursdaythrough-Sunday before Memorial Day. Additionally, despite the outcry from local residents about the automotive event, the number of citizen complaints was actually higher over Memorial Day Weekend, which saw 724 citizen calls and 1,031 officer-initiated responses. Cruisin’ OC, in comparison, saw 1,582 officer-initiated responses and only 509 citizen calls to the OCPD. City wastewater flows, which are often used as a measure of population despite some glaring inaccuracies in the so-called demoflush formula, were almost 50 percent higher at their peak over Memorial Day as compared to Cruisin’ OC.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) While there is relatively little to get excited about in 2015 if you’re a storm buff, a squall or a gale needn’t be named to damage property, flood local streets or cause bodily injury. Hurricane season begins in the area on June 1, and this past week was National Hurricane Preparedness week in anticipation of the storm season. In early April, Drs. Philip Klotzbach and William Gray of The Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University released their forecast for a relatively mild coming season, predicting only seven named storms from a median of 12, with only three becoming hurricanes. Of those three, only one is projected to be a major hurricane. Klotzbach and Gray predict there is only a 15 percent chance of a major (category 3+) hurricane making landfall anywhere on the East Coast this year, down from an average of 31 percent during the last century. “Superstorm Sandy was a tropical storm when she passed by Ocean City,” Fred Webster, Worcester County’s director of emergency services said, “and she still caused in excess of $1 million in damage.” Preparedness, Webster said, begins with a plan that includes evacuation routes. “We understand in a resort area people come here to unplug and not pay attention to news, but you should at least keep on top of the weather so you’re not caught at the last minute,” Webster said. Ocean City has its own municipal plan, activated during Sandy and Irene before her, which included going doorto-door to warn people to evacuate. “You should have two ways to get where you’re going memorized,” Webster said.

In Ocean City, there are only so many ways off the island: via the Route 50 and 90 bridges or heading north up Coastal Highway into Delaware. For the rest of the county, roads can and do flood during heavy, and sometimes even moderate, rainfall. Knowing where these roads are and how to avoid them, if possible, may end up being an important piece of knowledge. “For example, there are some areas in Ocean Pines we know are going to flood. We try to evacuate these areas first so there’s plenty of time to get the people in Ocean City out,” Webster explained.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) While the dust still settles from the decisions made, but not yet fully ratified, for the county spending plan for 2016, an issue thought settled may yet get new life. Early in the budget debate, the commissioners cut $65,000 in proposed spending to provide video access to their meetings for those unwilling or unable to attend them. This week, commissioner Joe Mitrecic, who has spoken on this topic numerous times before, asked the commissioners to reconsider de-funding the project, and bolstered his request with a little needling other commissioners. “If we can spend $30,000 on a fishing pier for 117 residents of Girdletree,” Mitrecic said, the county could surely find money to improve access to meetings for the almost 52,000 Worcester County residents. Mitrecic was referring to a project that had seen both sides of the red line before being formally included in the fiscal 2016 budget proposal. When the county reconstructed the boat ramp at

Effortless home control

Taylor’s Landing, a bulkhead where the community had been fishing and crabbing was replaced with riprap, precluding those activities. Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw, the sole commissioner to live in the southern end of the county and champion of the pier project had previously admonished the board for removing funding. “The south end of the county pays the same taxes of the north. I’d like you to keep this in mind if you expect my support in the future,” he said during an early April meeting. Lockfaw attended a meeting with Girdletree residents on the issue with County Administrator Harold Higgins and previous commissioner Virgil Shockley before the November 2014 election. Lockfaw had said previously if the board voted to nix the appropriation then he felt as if the board wasn’t being true to its word. Lockfaw rose to the bait. “I think it’s ludicrous at this time,” he said, criticizing Mitrecic for attempting to increase costs after the board had made “strong cuts.” “And I take exception to the comments about the pier,” Lockfaw said. Mitrecic attempted to make a motion to reinstate video funding, but was unable due to parliamentary procedure. Assistant Administrator Kelly Shannahan interjected that according to Robert’s Rules of Order, the standard rulebook used by governmental agencies, a commissioner who had voted for the defunding would need to move to reinstate the funding. As none of the members were willing to do that, formal procedures on the matter ended. However, Commissioners Jim Bunting and Bud Church both mentioned having conversations about the project with unnamed sources and found the county may have options for pursuing some kind of video solution to broadcast meetings. Mitrecic appeared satisfied with the status of the project.

Those conditions, coupled with the time it would take to get everyone to a safe distance before the foul weather arrives, leads to decisions that could seem premature to the citizenry. Timing is important, Webster said, and moving a resort’s worth of people under deadline pressure is a big job. Even if a decision is made to not evacuate, Webster advised keeping a supply of common-sense items around just in case. Items such as bottled water, blankets, dry clothing and first aid gear are all good choices, he said.

Petition precedent presents big legal questions City’s contention with tax rollback hinges on court’s call of ‘legislative initiative’

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) Whether it turns out to have garnered the requisite number of signatures or not, the tax reduction petition submitted last week by Ocean City Taxpayers for Social Justice has already raised the question of how far referendums can go. In other words, how prescriptive can public directives be before society abandons the principles of representative democracy and slips into governance by plebiscite? The organization’s petition, which aims to put to public vote a charter amendment that would prevent property taxes higher than the 2009 level, has already been challenged by the city. According to City Solicitor Guy Ayres, the Maryland Court of Appeals has already decided against the enforcement of a “tax rollback,” which is what the current petition would do, by default, since the coming year’s taxes will be roughly 10 cents higher than the 2009 rate. In two consecutive cases in the 1990 term, the Maryland Court of Appeals prevented the “tax rollback”

portion of two public petitions from hitting the ballot. But the court did not prevent other aspects of the referenda from going to the voters, as had been the desire of the county governments opposed to the measure. The decision, rather, saw the court re-write the proposed measures to remove those parts deemed legally void – a move that saw a dissenting judge state that “this benevolent paternalistic assumption of judicial authority is, to say the least, unprecedented.” But the majority opinion pointed to a long history of case law, stretching back to the foundations of the United States, “concerned with attempts by the voters to initiate detailed legislation through the guise of charter amendments,” as opposed to creating a charter (or constitution) that sets universal guidelines that a government must apply in the interest of all its citizens. In 1992, the court issued a legal finding with regard to both cases, which saw citizens’ groups similar to OCTSJ being challenged by the Baltimore and Anne Arundel County governments. In both jurisdictions, petitions with the requisite number of signatures had been filed to put possible charter amendments to the voters at the next coming election — again, mirroring the current path taken by OCTSJ. In Baltimore County, the measure would have required that property tax revenue in the 1991-1992 budget year not exceed that of the 1990-1991 fiscal cycle. It also limited any future in-

creases to no more than two percent per year, unless any additional tax was approved by the voters as part of a borrowing measure or bond issuance. In Anne Arundel County, the attempted referendum desired to set the same restriction, at the 1990-1991 revenue level. It also capped future increases at the Consumer Price Index, or 4.5 percent, whichever is lower. OCTSJ’s petition is actually more restrictive. Instead of capping tax revenues at a prior year’s level, the Ocean City petition seeks to cap the actual tax rate at the 2008-2009’s 38 cents per $100 of assessed value. This would, in effect, force a reduction of net tax revenue to the city by more than $8 million, as assessed property values have declined since 2009. In both Anne Arundel and Baltimore, the county governments challenged the legitimacy of the referendum based on their violation of a state code section that mandates that the county commissioners “shall set” the property tax rate. Thus, allowing a group of petitioners to initiate legislation to de-facto set the tax rate stripped that power from the elected representative body. In the 1980 case Cheeks vs. Cedlair Corp., the court noted it had found – as the counties claimed — that “the exercise of the legislative initiative power [by petitioners], however, completely circumvents the legislative body, thereby totally undermining its status as the primary legislative

organ. Thus, we held that ‘the power to initiate legislation, unlike the referendum power, cannot be reconciled with section 3.’” However, referendums that place structural limits on government, the court found, are “fundamental elements of a constitution,” stretching back to the founding principles of American government in Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Papers. The question, then, is what parts of the tax petitions qualified as appropriate limits on government, and which parts crossed the line into prescriptive legislation that illegally transferred power away from the people’s elected representatives. The court ruled that the percentage cap elements of the petitions were appropriate charter material, as “the proposed tax limitations would not have had the effect of allowing the electorate of the two counties to set the tax rates. As required by [the state code], the legislative body in each county would continue to set the tax rate on property.” But the elements of the petitions, which would have re-set taxes to a previous year’s level, did not fall within this scope. “Unlike the tax cap provisions that would have simply placed a limit on the taxing power of each county council, the roll-back provisions would have transferred the county councils’ … power to the voters,” the court found.

Carriage rides approved downtown Sunset horse-drawn loop to stage in city parking on Dayton Lane at Third Street

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) For those who you itching to add another mode of transportation to your summertime repertoire, you can now consider horse and carriage. The Ocean City Council approved a proposal for summertime carriage rides, to begin imminently, at this week’s session. The rides will be offered by Randy Davis, owner of R&B Ranch. For the last several winters, Davis and his staff have offered carriage rides on the Boardwalk. They also operate carriage rides in downtown Berlin. Given that Boardwalk foot traffic makes summer carriage rides near impossible, Davis has proposed an in-season route that will have him load passengers at the corner of Third Street and Dayton Lane, the alley that runs between St. Louis and Philadelphia Avenues. From there, the carriage will head south down Dayton, and then turn east on Second Street to head over to Chicago Avenue, ideal for sunset

viewing. The carriage will then head west at Fourth Street, turning south at St. Louis and then back to its starting point on Third Street. The two parallel parking spaces off Dayton at Third Street, to the rear of the city tennis courts, will be used for passenger loading and unloading. This use of public parking was the major concern of the council. Councilman Wayne Hartman, the only

‘Most businesses in town have private property to base their operations from. I think there are ample opportunities to broach that with private property owners in that area.’ Councilman Wayne Hartman member to vote against the proposal, said he was reluctant to have the city give up a public amenity for an operation that would ultimately make money for Davis. “Most businesses in town have private property to base their operations from,” Hartman said. “I think there

are ample opportunities to broach that with private property owners in that area.” “You’re using our property to make money,” agreed Council Secretary Mary Knight, although she ultimately voted in favor of the proposal. “We’re giving up two spaces where I do see families park their cars to play tennis.” However, the rest of the council seemed to concur that the added tourism value of the carriage rides outweighed the relative penalty of allowing Davis to base his operation on public land, at least for the time being. “I think he’ll be successful, and if he is, hopefully there will be some private sector interest,” Councilman Dennis Dare said. Since sunset viewing along the bayside boardwalk on Chicago Avenue is the main attraction of the route, rides will begin around 5:30 p.m. each evening. Davis stressed that his carriage will be well lit, and the horses equipped with catch diapers to reduce cleanup. The carriage will ride to the right of the travel lanes, allowing motorists to pass. “If I didn’t think I could do it safely, I wouldn’t do it,” Davis said.

Rip currents still danger to all swimmers

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) With last year being one of the worst in Ocean City for rip currents, the Ocean City Beach Patrol is again reminding people to be aware of their dangers, since they can sweep away even the strongest swimmers. Last year was one of the deadliest on record in Ocean City: five swimmers died following struggles in rip currents and a sixth died of a broken neck. Before last year, Ocean City had not reported a death while lifeguards were on duty since 2007. Rip currents are not just the undertow created by surf rushing in and surf rushing out. While that is part of it, other elements are involved. The wave action itself does move an incredible amount of water. As waves undulate in and out, some water is moving in as the previous batch of

waves is moving out. But when a great number of waves or oceanic motion occurs, the water receding can draw back quickly, dragging anything in it farther out to sea. Also a contributing factor is the shape of the ocean floor right at the surf break. A dip, or trough, can cause the outflow of water to be faster and stronger, like a rapidly rushing river surrounded by water. Rip currents are a part of the beach dynamic everywhere. Three counties in Florida reported three deaths and more than 500 rescues during Memorial Day weekend, according to media reports. “As you’re swimming if you notice yourself getting farther from the beach than you’d like to be,” Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin said, “and as you attempt to swim and you find you’re making little progress, you’re probably caught in a rip current.” These currents do not drag swimmers down beneath the waves, but instead drain stamina. “You’re on a treadmill, and you get so tired you’re not physically able to swim or call for help, and you go under,” Arbin said. But there is an easy way out of even the strongest rip current: turn and swim parallel to the shore for a while. “Turn and swim sideways — they’re not very wide,” Arbin said, “it’s a small channel of water moving in one direction.” Once free from the current, most swimmers are able to return to the beach under their own power, Arbin said. “Last year was beyond the word tragic for Ocean City,” city government spokeswoman Jessica Waters said, “We take special pride in keeping people safe.” Waters said the city is using social media to reinforce the message to visitors to keep their feet in the sand until Beach Patrol members are on duty. The city also is providing updated beach

conditions through its website. Both Arbin and Waters said it was a good idea for swimmers to check in with lifeguards to let them know your abilities and concerns, and also to get perspective of the day’s conditions. “The guard can tell you the status and give advice based on what they see,” Arbin said. “They might say to you, based on what you’ve told me, it’s probably not the best idea for you to go swimming today.” “During the summer we have so

much (visitor) turnover, so we’re educating a new population every week,” Waters said. “The biggest thing is to only swim when Beach Patrol is on duty,” Arbin said, “and to not drink alcohol to excess before you go swimming.” More than one incident in Ocean City could have been avoided by following those rules, he added. “The strongest Olympic swimmer can drown in a rip current,” Arbin warned.

Adkins scholarship to fund education for EMS training Current, prospective EMTs eligible for education funds

(May 29, 2015) The Ocean City Paramedic Foundation is proud to announce the creation of the Robert T. Adkins, M.D. Memorial Scholarship. This will provide financial assistance, for educational purposes, to those wishing to enter the field of Emergency Medical Services and for those currently employed in EMS desiring to advance their certification, inclusive of a management degree in a related field of study. The Scholarship is divided into two categories: Category one is for those applicants wishing to pursue certification as an EMT. Three annual awards of $1,000 each will be made to members, either full or part time, of the Ocean City Fire Company meeting the requirements. Category two is for those individuals currently working in the field of Emergency Medical Services within the Ocean City Fire Company and would like to advance their current certification and pursue a degree. Three annual awards of $4,000 each will be made. Requirements include submitting the application along with a 350 to 500 word essay describing their goals with respect to becoming an EMT. The Ocean City Paramedic Foundation is comprised of volunteers focused through fund-raising efforts on the training of Ocean City paramedics and the purchasing of equipment thereby ensuring the best possible life-saving capabilities for our families, friends and neighbors. Dr. Adkins was very active in the development of the EMS system for the Eastern Shore, and was instrumental in the education and training of the medical personnel “in the field,” namely paramedics. He served as Medical Director of region IV for MIEMSS EMS for many years and was awarded “EMS Physician of The Year” in 1995. He was a very active member of the Ocean City Paramedics Foundation, acting not only as a liaison between the foundation and the Ocean City paramedics, but also providing guidance to the fiscal operation of the foundation. He served as the president of the foundation from 2000-2001. We are proud to honor his legacy by naming this scholarship after him. Applications can be requested through the Ocean City Paramedic Foundation by calling 410-2892882. They will also be made available to the OC Fire Company and local high school guidance departments. The application must be submitted by August 1st with the awards being presented later that month.

GlenRiddle deadlines extended May date passed, but LLC will provide commissioners with reports every 60 days By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) The expansion of the GlenRiddle wastewater plant, which would extend sewer service to the commercial area on the south side of Route 50, is taking longer than expected as the developer awaits project permits from the state and the county. The company, WGC EDU, would otherwise be prepared to begin construction were it not for that issue, attorney Mark Cropper told the Worcester County Commissioners last week. “I want to make it clear that it is

in my client’s best interest to complete the project as quickly as possible,” Cropper said, referencing the arrangement that allows WGC EDU to sell EDUs for profit in exchange for bearing the cost of expanding the plant so it can accommodate WalMart and other big box stores that sit across the highway opposite the GlenRiddle community. The agreement to expand the plant took about six years to develop, with the process actually getting under way in May 2013. The agreement also stipulated that all permits and approvals needed to be in hand two years hence, with construction to begin in June of this year. But Cropper told the commissioners in March that the permits would probably not be received by the two-

year deadline through no fault of his client. The commissioners agreed informally then to extend the deadlines and continued with that theme last week. At this juncture, both sides are leery of imposing any drop-dead dates that might put either of them in breach of the original deal. As it stands now, there are 20 outstanding requirements to be completed by September. Three items, Cropper said, were out of his clients’ control: a Maryland Department of the Environment dewatering permit, a construction permit and a wastewater treatment plant capacity rerating or approval to use different equipment. In the meantime, all sides agreed to a program of progress updates from WGC every 60 days.

Coast Guard centennial events in Ocean City OC Life-Saving Station Museum to host dinner and breeches buoy rescue (May 29, 2015) This year marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of the United States Coast Guard, which was created in 1915 with the merger of the Revenue Cutter Service and the United States Life-Saving Service. To recognize this milestone, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum will present a dinner on Friday, June 19, and a breeches buoy rescue re-enactment on Saturday, June 20, beginning at 10 a.m. on the beach between the inlet and the pier. “This event advances the mission of the museum to support the historical role performed by the United States Life-Saving Service, and to

preserve…the 1891 structure that once served as the Ocean City Station. We are delighted to honor the Coast Guard, which has been a welcome presence in Ocean City since 1878,” said Nancy Howard, president of the Museum Society. The breeches buoy was used in the 19th and early 20th century to bring passengers and crew members to safety from ships wrecked at sea. The museum, in partnership with the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum of Rehoboth Beach, Del. and the U.S. Coast Guard, will sponsor such a rescue. A Lyle gun will fire a line over a wreck pole (representing the mast of a ship), a series of lines and pulleys will be added, and a breeches buoy will carry a “survivor” from the foundering ship to the shore. The equipment is borrowed from the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum which is owned and operated by Delaware State Parks. The wreck pole was built by Ocean City’s Public Works Carpentry Division. Laura Scharle, Interpretive Programs manager for Delaware Seashore State Park, oversees the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum, where they re-enact the Breeches Buoy Rescue Drill several times each summer. “We are honored and delighted to be a part of this event,” Scharle said. “We’ve been performing the breeches buoy rescue drill in Delaware for over eight years now, and we are eager to partner with the Ocean City Life-Saving Station to reach a new audience

Members of the life-saving service demonstrate a breeches buoy rescue. As part of the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Coast Guard, the OC Life-Saving Station will reenact this rescue.

and pay tribute to the brave men of the U.S. Life-Saving Service that performed these heroic rescues.” The lineage of the Coast Guard goes back to 1790 with the formation of the Revenue Cutter Service, which was later joined with the Life-Saving Service. In addition to the historic rescue re-enactment, the Coast Guard will execute a 21st century water rescue bringing in modern day equipment including an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter and a 47-foot Motor Life Boat off shore. The Ocean City Beach Patrol will also demonstrate, as they do daily, the rescue of swimmers. “The crew at station Ocean City are looking forward to participating in the re-enactment of how rescues were

executed from the shore to the wrecks,” said Timaree Sparks, BMCM. “We are honored to have the most senior enlisted member of the Coast Guard speak to some historical events regarding the Life Saving Service. It’s a great free event offering camaraderie with members from the active duty Coast guard, members of the museum, the Town of Ocean City and the tourists.” On Friday, June 19, Master Chief Steven W. Cantrell will be the guest speaker at a dinner to be held at the Clarion Resort on 101st Street. The Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard (MCPOCG) is a unique non-commissioned rank and position in the United States Coast Guard. The See EVENTS Page 25

Wise retires after 19 years of service to conv. center Former director of sales and marketing will focus on philanthropy and charity

(May 29, 2015) Ocean City Convention Center Sales and Marketing Director, Fred Wise, has retired after 19 years with the Town of Ocean City. Wise, who joined the team at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in 1996, has spent his career working to pull all aspects of Ocean City’s hospitality community together. Wise’s formal responsibilities included promoting and selling the ever-changing Roland E. Powell Convention Center as a destination for meetings, conventions, seminars and trade shows with the primary focus on the large group segment. Working to form the Hospitality Sales and Marking Partnership to promote the convention center to a wide range of potential clients, Wise was able to help complete a business plan that today boasts a convention center that runs at 82 percent of capacity. “I owe a debt of thanks for the Mayor and Town of Ocean City,” Wise said. “I will forever be in the debt of Fish Powell, Mike Noah, Dr. Leonard Burger, Dennis Dare, Rene Seiden, Ruth Reynolds Waters, Steve Triglia and the entire staff of the convention center. Without their support and encouragement I might never have been afforded the opportunity to prove myself worthy of this most important position.” In addition to his formal responsibilities, Wise was extremely involved in the town’s United Way campaign for a decade, which led to a contribution increase of 121 percent by employees and the town being placed on the Top 20 United Way donors list for

nine consecutive years. Before joining the town, Wise served in the United States Marine Corps and held several positions in various hotels throughout the country including Florida, California, New York and Louisiana. Wise’s retirement plans include travel, playing golf and continuing his work in philanthropy, with a goal of making the Ocean City area number one for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots in the Mid-Atlantic region. “I would never have been able to accomplish anything without the support of my sweetheart of 26 years, Lynda White,” Wise said. “I am excited to spend more time together, checking off items on our very large bucket list.”

Humphreys Foundation invests in hospice Goal $300K closer for Coastal Hospice at the Ocean project, $1.7M left (May 29, 2015) Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care announces a major gift to its campaign to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. Humphreys Foundation, Inc. of Ocean City has invested $300,000 to support the project. The Community Room will be named for Edward H. Hammond, Jr., in commemoration of the gift. It will be integral to the outreach function of Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. The room will be available to community groups in need of a meeting space, when it isn’t in use for bereavement support groups. The projected cost to build Coastal Hospice at the Ocean is $5 million, and with the Humphreys Foundation, Inc. gift, the total raised toward the project to date is $3.3 million. “We are honored to be able to add Mr. Hammond’s name to the hospice residence and outreach center,”

The Community Room at Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will be named to honor Berlin attorney and historian Edward H. Hammond, Jr.

said Alane Capen, president of Coastal Hospice. “Mr. Hammond was known as a dedicated historian and supporter of the Berlin community. It’s a privilege to have Dr.

Humphreys’ name on our library and now Mr. Hammond’s on the Community Room.” Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will be a hospice residence and outreach center to be built in Berlin. It will address a growing and unmet need here: a residence for hospice care for patients who are not able to stay in their homes safely during their final days. When built, Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will feature a home-like atmosphere for residents. It will also serve as headquarters for the hospice team that cares for 40 to 60 patients in their own homes each day in Worcester and Somerset counties. In addition, Coastal Hospice at the Ocean will offer palliative care clinics (to treat the physical, emotional and spiritual pain that comes with serious illness) and facilities for grief support and community education. This is the Foundation’s second gift to the campaign. In 2012, it made a pledge of $100,000 to

Coastal Hospice at the Ocean. Humphreys Foundation, Inc. was founded by Dr. Mary E. Humphreys and, until his death, Hammond served on the board. The Foundation has generously supported local community services. Dr. Humphreys mentored many women in the sciences in her years on the biology faculty of Mary Baldwin College, where she taught biology, botany and genetics. She returned to Berlin when she retired, in the 1960s, and was a well loved member of the community. Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing life-limiting conditions but who want to remain as active and engaged as possible. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake. The organization serves Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset counties.

Board of Ed. adjusts 2015-16 school calendar for elections (May 29, 2015) After Governor Larry Hogan signed Senate Bill 204, which moved the Presidential Primary to the fourth Tuesday in April, the Worcester County Board of Education approved a modified 20152016 school calendar. In addition to the Election Day change, the modified calendar represents adjustments to the first, second and third marking periods. “Because the school calendar had to be altered to comply with the regulation it affected the number of days in session for the months of November and April,” said Chief Academic Officer Dr. John Quinn. “In turn, it gave us the opportunity to balance

the length of each marking period. This will benefit our students and staff and will not impact holiday vacations or the projected last day of school.” The modified calendar remains at 183 school days and includes three inclement weather days which have been added to the end of the calendar. If these inclement weather days are not used, they will be subtracted from the end of the calendar. The last day of school is projected to be Friday, June 17, 2016. Visit www.worcesterk12.com for the approved 2015-2016 school calendar.

(May 29, 2015) Law Enforcement officers representing Worcester County will be on the run Monday, June 1 at 8 a.m., taking part in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run Relay for Special Olympics Maryland. Their mission is to escort and protect the Special Olympics’ ‘Flame of Hope’ as it makes its way toward the opening of the summer games at Towson University, June 5-7. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Maryland Torch Run, a movement that began in 1986 with a handful of officers raising $5,000, and has grown into a true year-round effort that involves thousands of officers and sponsors raising more than $2 million in 2014. Since its inception, the Torch Run has taken its role as “Guardians of the Flame” very seriously and the Relay is an important and celebrated part of every Special Olympics competition. The schedule for Ocean City/Worcester County’s portion of the Torch Run is as follows (all times are approximate and subject to change): 8-8:30 a.m.: Pre-Event Ceremonies, 27th Street and the Boardwalk. 8:30 a.m.: Torch Run Relay begins. Run will proceed from 27th Street to N. Division Street. 9:15-9:30 a.m.: Run concludes at N. Division Street with refreshments. 10-10:15 a.m.: Pep Rally with students/staff at Worcester Preparatory School. 10:15 a.m.: Begin second leg through historic downtown Berlin. 10:45-11 a.m.: Conclude second leg at Berlin Fire Company. This portion of the Torch Run relay is part of a much larger effort. Statewide, the Maryland Torch Run relay consists of four different legs – eastern, western, central and southern – and throughout the entire week, thousands of Torch Run volunteers will cover hundreds of miles. The runners will eventually converge on Towson where the individual flames will be united in the final leg ceremony, and then officers from around the state will travel the final 2.5 miles to the opening ceremony at Towson University. It is there that the flame is handed off to the Special Olympics athletes who have the honor of taking the final lap with the torch, lighting the cauldron and officially declaring the 2015 SOMD summer games open.

Peeing on cop car

Distributing weed

Miguel Herrera, 25, of University Park, Md. was arrested on May 23 after exposing his penis to passersby and peeing on a patrol car. An Ocean City police officer watched Herrera walk behind his patrol vehicle, in plain view of the street, with his penis exposed and began urinating on the police car, according to the report. The report states the officer made eye contact with Herrera, who continued to relieve himself with the public watching. The officer walked over to Herrera, who quickly zipped up and said he was drunk and had to pee. The report noted there were two restrooms within 40 feet of Herrera with no line.

On May 24, Ronald Baez, 21, of Washington D.C. was arrested for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. An Ocean City police officer initiated a traffic stop on Baez after he failed to make a turn while driving in the bus lane. As he was approaching the vehicle, a strong stench of marijuana was emanating from the car, the report states. There were two juvenile passengers also occupying the vehicle according to the report and the officer could allegedly see a scale and marijuana in plain sight. After a search of the car, a handgun was recovered with the serial number scratched out and 12 separate bags of marijuana, according to the report. Baez told police the handgun, marijuana and scale were all his possessions, the report states. He was also charged with possession of a firearm in a drug trafficking crime, handgun on person, altering the number on the gun, paraphernalia and failing to make a left turn from the turn lane.

Rough landing Jessica Therres, 26, of Berlin was arrested on May 23 for driving her car into a ditch while allegedly being under the influence of alcohol. During the investigation, troopers detected a strong alcoholic beverage odor coming from Therres’ breath and she showed signs of impairment, the report states. After allegedly failing numerous standardized field sobriety tests, Therres was arrested and refused to take an alcohol concentration test. She was charged with a DUI and other charges related to the collision.

One punch Ashleigh Ingram, 29, of Ashburn, Va. was arrested on May 23 for coming up behind a male and punching him in the face in front of police. According to the report, the punch

made a loud noise and several people yelled over to police asking if they saw what happened. Since the public peace was disturbed, Ingram was arrested for affray and disorderly conduct.

Phone extortion Eddie Austin, 32, of Upper Marlboro, Md. was arrested on May 25 for allegedly stealing a cellphone and credit card. Ocean City police officers were dispatched to a complainant who stated two days prior she was at a convenience store and making a purchase when a male engaged her in conversation. Unknowingly, she left her cellphone on the counter and started calling it after arriving back to her apartment. After a few failed attempts, Austin answered and said he would return the phone if she paid him $60 for finding it, according to the report. Austin never showed up to the location, failed to meet her a couple other times and then demanded she give him $100 for her own phone back, the report states. She decided to call police and arranged another meeting. According to the report, Austin showed up this time and asked where his money was before police approached him. Austin allegedly denied knowing any information about her cellphone.

Mooning Ocean City police officers arrested Kevin Ochall, 26 of Annapolis, Md. for exposing his posterior to staff and about 100 Memorial Day patrons of a local bar on May 23. When police walked up, Ochall and a female were yelling at staff when Ochall decided to pull his shorts down below his waist and expose his rear to everyone, according to the report. The officer told Ochall and the female to leave the area. Ochall allegedly proceeded to walk away and continue to expose his butt to people on the street. He was arrested for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

Distributing fake drugs On May 24, Travis Holyfield, 23, and Aubrey Houser, 19, both of Salisbury were arrested for their roles in an undercover investigation. Three detectives were working undercover in Ocean City to purchase controlled dangerous substances from random individuals. They started a drug-related conversation with Holyfield and asked him where they could buy molly. According to the report, Holyfield told the trio he could sell them the drug later on and provided his cellphone number. Police called Holyfield after driving away and they agreed to buy $60 worth of cocaine. Hours later, police met with Holyfield at a downtown convenience store where he allegedly sold the undercover officers cocaine and molly. According to the report, it was determined the powder “cocaine” was soap and the “molly” was diet pills. The transaction happened in plain view of Houser and she supplied her cellphone to Holyfield to make one of the drug calls, the report states. The detective parted ways and four police officers arrested Houser and Holyfield. Holyfield was charged with two counts of distribution of a non-controlled dangerous substance and two counts of possession of a non-controlled dangerous substance. Houser was arrested for two counts of conspiracy to distribute a non-controlled dangerous substance and two counts of possession of a non-controlled dangerous substance.

OBITUARIES LEE ROESELER Snow Hill Lee Roeseler passed away peacefully in Snow Hill, on May 11, 2015. He was 95. Lee was born in the Bronx on Sept. 21, 1919, to Carl Roeseler and Bertha Kepner Roeseler. He was the first member of his family to be born in the United States. His family moved to Hackensack, N.J. when he was still little. His first job was working for an iceman, and he graduated from Hackensack High School in 1938. While a student at Hackensack High, he also met a young lady named Marie Riblet. After high school, Lee and his best friend saved up and bought a rattletrap old car for less than 20 bucks and drove to Florida (no small feat in 1938). Lee then attended junior college and Pratt Institute for engineering in Brooklyn. His bus rides into the city often coincided with Marie Riblet’s commute into Manhattan. The second time he asked her out, she said yes. Thus began a love affair that lasted for more than seven decades. With the exception of World War II, they were never apart for more than a day or two. Lee found work in the aerospace industry as a weights and balances engineer and married Marie Riblet in 1942. He enlisted in the army the same year and served as an airplane mechanic throughout World War II, primarily in the China Burma India Theater. After the war, Lee and Marie – a couple of city slickers – decided to become farmers. They bought land in Bucks County, Pa., with Marie’s sister, Dallas Hicks, and Dallas’s husband, Charlie. To help make ends meet, Lee took a job as an apprentice working on the printing presses at the Quakertown Free Press newspaper in 1946. To give you some idea of his farming skills, he worked for the paper until 1973, serving as superintendent of production for 23 years. In 1967, he also bought Labelcraft Press in Perkasie, and was the sole owner and operator until selling it in 1985. In the 1980s, Marie and Lee retired and split their time between Petersburg, Va., and Lehigh Acres, Fla. Lee was a member of the First United Church of Christ and the Lions Club

in both Quakertown and Lehigh Acres, and a member of the American Legion of Quakertown. Lee loved his family, his friends, good food and hard work. From woodwork to yard work, he enjoyed a good day’s labor. When he was no longer able to put in a full day’s work, he enjoyed watching other people work. He called this “supervising.” He was preceded in death by his wife, Marie Stephenson Riblet Roeseler; son, Dennis Roeseler; nephew, Robert Hicks and his wife, Judy; and nephew, James Hicks. He is survived by his daughters, Karen Roeseler Shipman and Janice Roeseler Gault and son-in-law, Donald Gault; sister, Margarete Roeseler Rantze; granddaughter, Sophie Gault; grandson, Matt Shipman and his wife, Julia; and great-grandchildren, Nora, Fiona and Violet Shipman; nephew, Gordon Rantze and wife, Beth; niece, Gail Rantze Jones and husband, Mike; nephew, Paul Riblet and wife, Kathy; niece, Nancy Riblet and partner, Evelyn Butler; nephew, Donald Riblet; niece, Patricia Hicks Hartman and husband, Barry; niece, Lisa Rabenold and husband, Rick; niece Gretchen Yerger; and a host of beloved great-nieces and great-nephews. A memorial service will be held in Quakertown, Pa. at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to: Coastal Hospice at P.O Box 1733 Salisbury, Md.

21804 or to Habitat for Humanity at 908 W Isabella St. Salisbury, Md. 21801. Letters of condolence may be shared with the family at Burbage@BurbageFuneralHome.com.

Wasabi Express and Juice Shack open on 16th St.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) Owner Kenny Diu has expanded his OC Wasabi brand by opening a new location, Wasabi Express, and joining forces with friends to add Juice Shack to his takeout restaurant on 16th Street and Philadelphia Avenue. “It’s the perfect combination of selling healthy food with the location,” Diu said. “I like bringing new choices in town; things people have never had in their life.” Wasabi Express will offer their popular sushi along with four Vietnamese sandwiches, Banh Mi, with options such as the Special Combo, on a roll with chicken, ham and vegetables. “It’s very fresh and simple. You can taste the cilantro, cucumber and pickle with the meat,” Diu said. “It makes you feel happy and want to eat more.” The landlord wanted Diu to bring his Japanese food downtown for years and 16th Street was too perfect for him to pass up. After talking with friends, Paul and Lisa Carlotta, it was decided to split the business and rent. The Car-

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (May 29, 2015) The younger Generation Y and some of Generation X are sometimes called “digital natives.” They are people who have grown up with the latest technology. This technology that reshaped the lives and business world of Baby Boomers is second nature to digital natives. With the average age of a Realtor being 56, this can create a gap between buyers and sellers and their Realtor. Digital natives are very mobile and use technology through a number of devices. Most use messaging as a core piece of communication. They like the instant gratification and swift communication of messaging and the fact that it is not as intrusive as a traditional phone call. This can be text messages or Facebook messaging. Digital natives also prefer multimedia messaging programs such as Instagram and Snapchat. Another area that digital natives want to see technology put to use is through mobile payments. Many younger buyers don’t even use checkbooks, instead transacting all financial business in an electronic or mobile format. Wiring funds at settlement has become commonplace in real estate transactions, but the use of mobile payments for good faith deposits has not been implemented. Digital natives also want to be able to work wherever they are and utilize cloud technologies. Electronic signature programs are becoming increasingly popular; for example, DotLoop keeps all documents associated with a transaction stored in the cloud, giving all people associated with a transaction access to the “loop.” The loop is essentially an online workplace, or file cabinet. With the rise of social media platforms, Realtors are learning to utilize social media to reach this new segment of buyers and sellers. Digital natives consume more online video than ever before, and important video sites such as YouTube are being increasingly utilized in the real estate industry. Innovations in technology will continue to change the way we transact business in the real estate industry, especially as younger buyers enter the marketplace. Realtors will need to continually learn to adapt and modify the way they communicate and transact business to keep digital natives engaged. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed REALTOR® with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

WORLD WAR II - AZTEC EAGLES

Mexico’s combat airmen in Philippines

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (May 29, 2015) This week, 70 years ago, the Eagles were settling at their base on the island of Luzon, in the Philippines. On May 14, 1942, the Mexican tanker, SS Portrero del Llano, commanded by Master Gabriel Cruz Díaz, was sailing from Tampico to New York carrying 6,132 tons of oil, when she was sunk off Miami by U-

Ten of her crew were lost. Mexico’s president, Manuel Ávila

He convened the Mexican Congress, which on June 1, 1942 declared that, since May 22, 1942, a state of war had existed between Los Estados Unidos de México and the German Reich, the Kingdom of Italy and the Empire of Japan. But, now what? How would Mexico act on its declaration of war? Never in its history had it sent its armed forces to fight outside its borders. Besides, its armed forces really

WORLD WAR II - AZTEC EAGLES his southern counterpart to get involved militarily. On Nov. 13, 1943, President Camacho announced that his country would send a force to support the Allies – so long as it was under Mexican command. However, it would require congressional approval – and therefore public support. After consultation with the country’s military leaders, it was determined to send a fighter squadron, possibly to Italy to fight along side the Brazilians. In order to generate public support, an air show was staged on March 5, 1944, which was witnessed by 100,000 capitalinos. In the meantime, volunteers were solicited. Only the best were selected. After months of training, the group, named Grupo de Perfecionamiento Aeronáutico, commanded by Col. Antonio Cárdenas Rodríguez, assembled for a final farewell from el Presidente, on July 21, 1944. Three days later, the volunteers reported to Mexico City’s Buenavista Train Station. They boarded six firstclass rail cars, and at 8:35 a.m., departed for Laredo, Texas. With stops all along the route, to be honored and feted, the trip, which normally took 10 hours, took 36! Upon arriving in Laredo, they were transported by bus to Randolph Field in San Antonio, where they were tested and given medical examinations. From San Antonio, the pilots were shipped to Foster Field, in Victoria, Texas, to begin training on the P-47 Thunderbolt, which they called “El Jarro” (the Jug), while the mechanics and others were shipped to other bases for training according to specialty. Ultimately, they were reunited in Pocatello, Idaho, until the winter weather forced their return to Texas, where they continued their training at Harlingen and at Majors Field in Greenville. During their training,

they dubbed themselves Aguilas Aztecas – “Aztec Eagles.” The Grupo de Perfecionamiento Aeronáutico became the Fuerza Aérea Expedicionaria Mexicana (Mexican Expeditionary Air Force) or FEAM on Jan. 1, 1945, with the 201st Fighter Squadron – Escuadrón Aéro de Pelea 201 – being commanded by Captain First Class Radamés Gaxiola Andrade FEAM was commanded by Col. Rodríguez. On Feb. 22, 1945, the men of FEAM were graduated in a ceremony broadcast live on the radio to Mexico and replete with speeches from officials of both nations, two bands and a 21-gun salute. Mexican Under-Secretary of War, Gen. Francisco L. Urquizo, presented the Mexican battle flag to Col. Cárdenas. In the meantime, President Camacho had requested that the unit be sent to the Philippines, where it could, aid, “... the liberation of a people for whom it is felt a continuity of idiom, history and traditions.” So, on March 27, 1945, the Eagles began their month-long journey, aboard the SS Fairisle, to the Philippines. When they disembarked, at Manila, on May 1, 1945, there was another ceremonial greeting which included Gen. George Kenney, commander of the Allied Far East Air Forces and Filipino painter Honorary Mexican Counsel Alfredo Carmelo de las Casas. Upon arrival in the Philippines, FEAM was assigned to the 58th Fighter Group, commanded by Major Ed Roddy, of the 5th United States Army Air Force. Beginning in June, 1945, it began flying missions from Porac and Clark Fields on Luzon. FEAM, “...provided air support for the advancing American troops on the islands of Luzon and Formosa, participated in patrol missions, divebombed targets in the port of

Karenko, covered the Philippine guerilla army units, and escorted American naval convoys.” Flying 60 missions in 791 sorties, the Aztecs spent 2,800 hours in the air. They dropped 570 tons of bombs and fired more than a million rounds of ammunition. Twenty received the U.S. Air Medal. Five died. Five others were killed during training. On Nov. 18, 1945, there was a welcoming parade for the FEAM in Mexico City, after which Capitan Miguel Moreno Arreola presented the Mexican battle flag to President Camacho in a ceremony broadcast on live radio. The president then decorated each man with the Medalla por Servicio en el Lejano Oriente. This was a special medal for service outside the country

and was, therefore, only awarded to them. The members of the squadron were honored, on Nov. 22, 2004, when Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo presented it with her country’s Legion of Honor medal. They continue to be honored in Chapultepec Park in Mexico City with a monument near the Los Níños Héroes memorial. Each of the pilot’s names is engraved there.

National Volleyball League hosts first tournament in OC

First white marlin of season caught, released off OC

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) The first catch and release of a white marlin in Ocean City, with prize money totalling $10,000 presented by the Town of Ocean City and the Ocean City Marlin Club to Dale Downey and Capt. Rick Schafer, almost went to someone else. The town offers a $5,000 award to the angler, Downey, and since Schafer is a member of the Ocean City Marlin Club he is also rewarded, but the pair — fishing buddies in Ocean City waters for the past five years — were actually fishing for yellowfin tuna on May 24. “When you hook a marlin you have to bring in all the other lines because they dance all over,” Downey said. “It was an outstanding day.” Schafer and crew reported landing five yellowfin during the same trip. The fish was hooked on a skirted blue and white ballyhoo on the east side of the Baltimore Canyon, near the 300 fathom line, Schafer said. “We were rigged for tuna, but we set out one line for marlin,” Downey See FISHING Page 42

The first white marlin of the Ocean City fishing season was landed by Dale Downey on Capt. Richard Schafer’s Got-R-Done, May 24. The estimated 6-foot, 80-pound marlin was caught as the crew was fishing for tuna. (Below) Pictured at the Sunset Marina in West Ocean City displaying a white marlin release flag, from left, are Downey, Leanne Downey, Schafer, Del. Rick Impallaria (R, 7) and John Vandyke. This is the earliest a white marlin has been caught in these waters since records have been kept by the Ocean City Marlin Club starting in 1936.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) The National Volleyball League will, for the first time, host a pro and amateur tournament with a junior clinic this weekend in Ocean City, May 29-31. Registration closed on Tuesday with 38 men’s teams and 25 women’s teams signed up for the chance to win a $75,000 prize purse, which is a good turnout for a new tour stop, said founder and CEO of the National Volleyball League, Albert Hannemann. This is the third pro stop of the 2015 season for NVL where both team winners of the leagues previous tournaments in each gender will compete at this weekend’s beach volleyball tournament. The National Volleyball League Pro Qualifier kicks off the weekend activities today, Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. between Dorchester and Talbot Streets in view of the Boardwalk, where spectators can watch beach volleyball all weekend for free. “Unlike many professional sporting events, NVL pros are accessible and approachable. It’s not uncommon to see one of our pros run over to the crowd for a high-five after acing a serve or hitting a killer spike,” Hannemann said. “Fans are sitting 10 feet from the court and truly feel like they are part of the action. It’s an amazing experience for someone that’s never attended a professional beach volleyball tournament.” Last month, at a tournament in Madeira Beach, Fla., 27 men’s teams and 16 women’s teams registered for the qualifier, and 12 teams were in the main draw for a total of 67 teams competing throughout the weekend. It was one of the largest registrations to date and the organization expected the same numbers in Ocean City, he added. There are 16 teams per gender, with 10 teams automatically entered into the main draw and two wild card teams. On Saturday, May 30, the main draw matches begin at 9 a.m. and will continue until 6 p.m. Beginning at the same time, the National Volleyball League’s amateur series, NVL RIZE, is partnering with the Delaware Volleyball Academy to host a junior tournament. It will start with pool play on Saturday morning and conclude with teams moving into single elimination brackets on Sunday. It is open to both boy and girl teams in 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U divisions.

Fishing for tuna, crew lands first white of 2015 Continued from Page 41 said. “It started dancing and took out between 300-400 yards of line before we could bring him in.” The approximately 6-foot, 80pound fish was landed at 10:48 a.m. Sunday morning and took 45 minutes to bring onboard. Schafer said the boat crew hooked another marlin later in the day, but didn’t land it. “We put the line out just in case,” Schafer said. This billfish beats a record for earliest catch set in 2012, when junior angler Grant Clubb, at the age of 14, landed the first white marlin of the season on May 27. OCMC has been keeping detailed records since 1936. Schafer is the captain of the GotR-Done, which has been harbored at Sunset Marina for the past five years. He recently competed in the Maryland Saltwater Sport Fishermen’s Association Championship on the Chesapeake rockfish tournament and brought home more than $12,000 in prize money. He plans to compete in more MSSA tournaments this year. “I’ve done the White Marlin Open before, but it all depends on the crew,” Schafer said. “It’s a great feeling to experience, and I never knew how big a deal it was. It’s quite an honor.”

Annual Mako Mania tournament, June 5-7

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 29, 2015) After a long, cold winter, anglers have been eager to get back on their boats to go out fishing. And the good thing is, the fish are biting as the 2015 tournament season is now under way. The 19th annual Mako Mania, presented by Bahia Marina Tournaments, is only a week away and co-organizer Earl Conley said he has received a number of calls from interested captains and anglers. “With the [Ocean City] Shark Tour-

nament done, I believe we’ll see a lot of added boats this year,” Conley said. In March, organizers of the Ocean City Shark Tournament made the announcement that last year’s competition would be the final one. “There’s an early bit this year. A lot of fish have been caught and lots have been weighed in,” Conley said. “It’s looking like it should be an active Mako Mania.” Final registration for the tournament will be Thursday, June 4, beginning at 4 p.m. at Bahia Marina on 22nd Street, bayside. A captains’ meet-

ing will follow. The entry fee is $500 per boat for up to four anglers. Two additional anglers — to make a six-person team — may be added to a boat at $50 each. There will be a one-day (different team) entry fee of $300 for charter boats. Anglers will fish two of three days, Friday through Sunday, June 5-7. All fish must be weighed in at Bahia Marina. Scales will open at 3:30 p.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to watch the weigh-ins, which typically draw a large crowd. This tournament has added entry

categories for the heaviest thresher and mako sharks and bluefish. Prize money will be awarded for the three heaviest mako sharks and top two bluefish. In past years, it was winner takes all for the heaviest thresher. For 2015, teams who boat the three heaviest threshers will take home prize money. There will also be a $1,000 bonus mako (heaviest winner takes all) calcutta. Entering this category will increase the amount of prize money paid out to the angler who lands the See FINAL Page 44

Contests and giveaways during tournament Continued from Page 42 events,” Hannemann said. “We held our inaugural tournament at the Preakness Stakes back in 2011 and received tremendous support from the Maryland community so we’re excited to be back to share the beach volleyball lifestyle with local sports fans.” The final day of competition begins at 9 a.m. Sunday, May 31, with the quarter and semi-finals of all age divisions taking place and the NVL pro finals tournament continuing as well. The women’s championships take place at 3 p.m. with the men following at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. “Fans have an opportunity to watch world-class beach volleyball competitions in a festive and familyfriendly atmosphere. It’s free to at-

tend and fans can win fun prizes while hanging out on the beach,” Hannemann said. A variety of contests and giveaways will take place at the tournament all weekend long including on social media sites. Fans will have the opportunity to win prizes from two of NVL’s main sponsors, Mikasa and Australian Gold, in addition to NVL gear. Some prizes include Mikasa volleyballs signed by the NVL pros, Mikasa keychains, drawstring bags, bracelets, and Australian Gold will be providing sample sunscreen, bags, Frisbees and T-shirts.

Decatur athletes perform well at Md. championship

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 29, 2015) Eight Stephen Decatur outdoor track athletes battled tough competition during the 3A state championship meet last Friday and Saturday at Morgan State University in Baltimore. “I thought we did pretty well at states,” Decatur Coach Jody Stigler said. “The competition at the state meet is always strong, so I thought it was good that we did have a few athletes score some points.” Junior pole vaulter Brett Kim had the most success at state for the Seahawks. The 3A South Regional champion, on his third and final attempt, pole-vaulted 12 feet – his best height of the season – to finish in seventh place. Junior Hyun Chun took 10th place with a vault of 10 feet 6 inches. Evan Haas, a junior, also recorded a height of 10 feet 6 inches. Since Chun made it over the bar on his first attempt he placed 10th. Haas was successful on his third try and finished in 11th place. Junior Katie Hofman, the 3A South Regional pole vault titleholder, tied for 11th place at states with Urbana’s Sarah Hajzus. They both vaulted 8 feet. Senior Hannah Wilson vaulted 8 feet also. She made it on her second attempt while Hofman and Hajzus got over the bar on their first. Wilson finished in 13th place. Wilson, the 2014 and 2015 regional high jump champion, competed in the event at states as well. She recorded a high jump of 5 feet. Senior Parker Harrington completed the 800-meter race in 2:01.47, good for 15th place. Bethany Williams, a sophomore, took 16th place in the long jump with a distance of 14 feet 3 inches. Senior Sean Velazquez-Alvino came in 10th place in the preliminary round of the 110-meter hurdles (15.98 seconds). The top eight advanced to the finals. Overall, Stigler thought the season went well. “We will lose some key pieces to graduation, however I think we have some good returning runners on both sides that will hopefully develop a little more in the coming year,” he said.

New format of OC Marlin Club’s event well received By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 29, 2015) The new format of the Ocean City Marlin Club’s annual tournament during the Memorial Day weekend was well received by participants. “Things went well,” Franky Pettolina, OCMC president and tournament co-director, said. “We had a good response. [Participants] were happy we added tuna and mako into it. I think we’ll continue to grow.” For five years the Ocean City Marlin Club hosted a bluefish tournament Memorial Day weekend, but after some discussion organizers decided to make a few changes this year. The focus of the competition since its inception had been bluefish. This year, the event, now named the “Memorial Day Tournament,” included a category for bluefish as well as tuna and mako shark divisions. Participants had the opportunity to fish one of two days – Saturday, May 23 or Sunday, May 24. Twentytwo boats entered the tournament and one angler fished from shore. A Salt Weapon 2 brought a 48.8pound yellowfin to the Sunset Marina dock in West Ocean City to take first place in the tuna division. The team won $855.

Magic Moment hooked a 42.6pound yellowfin to finish in second place. Because of participation in added entry-level calcuttas, the crew received $3,528. The Reel Intents team boated a 41pound yellowfin, good for third place. The group was awarded $1,017. The Odinspear crew was presented with $455 for a 37.8-pound yellowfin. Anglers aboard Gret’s Three J’s boated a 120.6-pound mako shark and took home $5,850. Despite the best bluefish fishing in several years, according to Pettolina, no bluefish were brought to the scale. A number of bluefish are in the bay and inlet as well as some offshore, but most participants were fishing for tuna and mako during the tournament, Pettolina said. He added that there was a good quantity of both tuna and mako, but they were running on the smaller side. A total of $11,700 was paid out to tournament winners. The tournament benefits the Catherine & Charles Kratz Memorial Foundation and Scholarship Fund, which provides support, encouragement and a better life for veterans. Pettolina said the OCMC will donate about $3,000 to the foundation.

Sixth Surf Swap and Paddle Board Challenge set for Sun.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) Fager’s Island will host the sixth annual Surf Swap and Paddle Board Challenge this Sunday, May 31, with proceeds benefiting the Maryland Coastal Bays Program. “All ages are welcome on the water with the opportunity to try out paddleboarding and different kinds of boards,” said Dawn Ehman, coordinator of the event. The family-friendly event runs into the evening with Stand-Up Paddleboard races for all ages and skill levels, including a kids’ relay. A Surf Swap allows attends to sell or buy used equipment, and at least a dozen vendors will be hand with their products. Entertainment will be provided by DJ Romo, and there will be food and drinks, raffles, children’s activities including face painting and SUP demonstrations at Fager’s Island on 60th Street starting at 10 a.m. Dependent on the weather, organizers expect a crowd of 300 to 400 people, Ehman said. Race day starts at 8:30 a.m., when participants can pick up their packets and register for the paddleboard races. There will be a 2.5-mile recreational race and a 5-mile elite race. Officials will determine the course on race day based on wind conditions. Pre-registration for the race is open until 5 p.m. today, Friday, May 29, at www.paddleguru.com/races/SurfSwapChallenge and costs $40 for the 2.5-mile and $55 to participate in the 5-mile race. Same-day registration will

be offered at Fager’s Island on Sunday for $60 and $75, respectively. The top three elite race finishers will receive prices and cash. Spectators are invited to watch the races. Stand-up paddleboard demos will take place from 10:30-11:30 a.m. and are open to anyone who is interested in learning about the activity. The Ocean City Surf Club is coordinating the Surf Swap, which will take place beginning at 11 a.m. on the beach portion of the restaurant. People have the opportunity to buy or sell used surfboards, stand-up paddleboards, wetsuits or other non-motorized water equipment. There is no cost to sell items. Contact Sandi Smith at Sandis@mdcoastalbays.org if interested in selling equipment to insure a setup location. In addition to the 2.5- and 5-mile events, there will be a children’s SUP race, which is popular and limited to 30 kids. Participants can register their children for the Kids SUP Race at Fager’s Island before the event starts at noon, which costs $10 per participant. Boards will be provided. To guarantee a spot and pre-register children, visit www.paddleguru.com/races/SurfSwapChallenge. There will also be raffles for a new SUP, a paddle and a beach cruiser bike at the event, Ehman said. Dozens of vendors will have tables set up to sell merchandise and accessories including Ron Jon, Solace See PROCEEDS Page 47

ESA’s first surfing contest this Sat. (May 29, 2015) The Eastern Surfing Association’s Delmarva District will hold its first surfing contest of the 2015 season at Assateague State Park on Saturday, May 30. This event is open to surfers of all ages. “I like to say that the ESA is little league for surfers,” Michelle Sommers, ESA’s executive director, said. “It’s where competitive surfers along the East Coast begin, including many well-known professional surfers.” Kelly Slater, CJ and Damien Hobgood, Lisa Anderson and both Shea and Cory Lopez are just a few wellknown pro surfers who began their surfing careers in the ESA. The ESA Delmarva District Director Eric Mitchell said he was excited to offer contests at different beaches throughout the local area including Assateague, Ocean City, Delaware and Chincoteague. “It is important to offer our surfing events at various locations to include surfers from all over our region,”

Mitchell said. “We’ve got great waves throughout our entire district so let’s allow our competitors to surf these waves and support the local businesses in each area.” “Assateague State Park takes pride in the fact that it has continued to grow as a destination in the surfing community, and hopes this surf contest will be the first of many more to come,” said Assateague State Park Ranger Adam Stachowiak. “Our staff was excited about the opportunity when the local ESA district asked about including Assateague State Park as one of their locations for this year’s surf contests,” Stachowiak, an avid surfer, said. Many local surfers are excited to have this event at Assateague as there were many contests held there in previous years. “The waves at Assateague offer a variety to those who surf elsewhere but also gives many who may be too intimidated to surf other places a chance to compete,” Sommers said. The local ESA district wants to

grow the female divisions, as well as bring in more youth to surf the divisions for children under the age of 12. “The ESA does not require prior competitive surfing experience since it is where people begin,” Sommers said. “Local ESA events are open to any surfer, at any level, to participate as long as they become an ESA member. There will be volunteers on the beach to educate those who are new to competitive surfing about the rules and it will be a fun day for the entire family.” The first event at Assateague State Park will be held this Saturday beginning at 7 a.m. Competitors must be an active ESA member to participate and can join at www.surfesa.org or contact Mitchell at delmarva@surfesa.org. Updates will be posted on the district’s Facebook page, Delmarva ESA. Sponsorship opportunities are available for this and other ESA events for 2015.

cate meighan inside going out was warned that Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial, official start to the summer season here in Ocean City and I already understand that I now need to learn many more shortcuts to escape the traffic on Coastal Highway (not to mention the few miles backed up just to get over the bridge). Not that any of that was going to stop me from enjoying the great weather and festivities of the last several days. Did you hit the beach at all? I was there and I think I saw an awful lot of you out there with your feet in the sand, enjoying a well-deserved extended weekend. Speaking of the beach and Boardwalk, have you stopped into the Park Place Gallery on Third Street at the Boardwalk lately? Smack in the middle of Thrashers French Fries, Dippin Dots and right next door to Bull on the Beach, this is one of those places that art lovers really need to check out. I had an opportunity to chat with store manager, Linda Stumpf and she told me that this gallery has actually been an OCMD staple for more than 20 years. The artwork itself is pretty obviously (at least to a trained eye) hand-painted oils on canvas, but it’s not done by a small handful of artists. Instead, Park Place Gallery is actually featuring the work of at least 200 unique artists. The paintings also all come with interchangeable wooden frames, so you basically can choose something that is guaranteed to match the space where you want to hang the piece. The works themselves are really cool and while there are some of those great scenic paintings, there is also still life and various street scenes to choose from. Of course, you’ll find a light house or a ship at sea, but if that’s not your thing then keep flipping through the canvases because something will inevitably catch your eye. Linda tells me that the gallery is now open at 10 a.m. daily and that the paintings are always 50 percent off. For those of you that would love to buy some great new art but don’t want to have to lug it around all day, Linda has the solution. She will hold See CATE Page 52

Ravens Roosts march along Baltimore Avenue during the 2014 Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts parade on Baltimore Avenue between 19th Street and 26th Street.

Annual parade in OC celebrates Baltimore Ravens

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) Baltimore Avenue will turn into Ravenstown this Saturday as fans donning their purple and black will converge to watch the 51st annual Council of Baltimore Ravens Roost Parade. Ocean City’s Ravens Roost 44 joins 75 roosts from Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania to put on the annual event, which will proceed up Baltimore Avenue from 19th to 26th Street starting at 10 a.m. It’s all about the football fans this year with an “Awesome Fan Commitment” theme. “The first letters in ‘Awesome Fan Commitment’ are AFC, the league the Ravens play in,” said Sue Draper, Ravens Convention chairperson, recording secretary for the Council and member of Pasadena’s Roost 65. The Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts and its member roosts have donated more than $2.6 million to local and national charities since 2007 and put in countless hours of volunteering. The theme was chosen to honor the dedication and support the roosts have given to their commu-

enable us to have this event,” Draper said. Approximately 30 Roosts will march in the 2015 Ravens Roost Parade and are entered into a competition with various categories including best theme and novelty float with troSee RAVENS Page 50

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) Thousands of football enthusiasts wearing purple and black will be taking over Ocean City this weekend to participate in the fourth annual Ravens Beach Bash along with players, coaches, cheerleaders and the Ravens’ mascot, Poe. Festivities started yesterday, May 28, and will run through Saturday night with a parade, 98Rock live broadcasts, pub crawls, a flag football beach tournament, a light show and bonfire. Events will take place at various venues throughout Ocean City, although the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel on 101st Street will host a bulk of the Beach Bash activities. “It’s such a fun time for everyone in the family,” said Renee Seiden, director of sales and marketing at the Clarion. “There are lots of events and activities to choose from, with the exception of the flag football tournament, all of the activities on the beach [at the Clarion] the day of the actual Beach Bash [Saturday] are free.” A couple of current Ravens players, alumni and coaches will be on hand during the weekend to meet fans. Typically, the Ravens organization brings alumni players who played on the first Super Bowl team and current players tend to be those who are about to breakout in the NFL, Seiden said. “[Ravens players] have always been very personable and love to mix and mingle with the crowd,” she added. “Defensive Coordinator, Coach Dean Pees, has been here every year and absolutely loves this event.” On Friday morning, fans can meet at the Greene Turtle on 116th Street from 6-10 a.m. for Bacon & Beer. “People seem to enjoy having a beer with their breakfast and watching the live radio broadcast,” Seiden said. A popular Baltimore Ravens tradi-

tion, the Purple Friday Caravan, will travel all over Ocean City on Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. For those unfamiliar, the Ravens hold this event every Friday there is a home game in Baltimore, Seiden said. The traveling caravan will bring Ravens cheerleaders, mascots and playmakers to different establishments, schools and other locations in Ocean City. During the afternoon, a West Ocean City bar crawl with Ravens playmakers will commence with stops at Hooters, Sunset Grille, Harborside, Crab Alley, Full Moon Saloon and the Greene Turtle. Tickets can be purchased for $25 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Clarion, though the event sold out last year. A bus will transport participants to and from West Ocean City for the bar crawl. Around the same time, Northside Park on 125th Street and Coca-Cola will be hosting a flag football clinic for 8- to 15-year-olds where they will learn the importance of exercise and smart food choices with the Baltimore Ravens youth clinic staff. Participants will stop at five stations for about 10 minutes to learn about pass routes, back pedaling and reading the defense to name a few, from 4-6 p.m. To register, contact the Ocean City Recreation and Parks at 410-2500125. On Friday night, Ravens fans can gather at Dead Freddies on 64th Street or families can Ride with the Ravens at Jolly Rodger Amusement Park on 30th Street. A purple plunge into the Atlantic Ocean will take place on 18th Street from 7:45-8:45 a.m. on Saturday morning to kick start the day’s activities. The 51st annual Ravens Roost parade will make its way up Baltimore See NUMBER Page 51

Several youth and musical groups will perform along the way with Ravens cheerleaders and Ravens’ mascot, Poe, making appearances. Several players, current and alumni, and coaches from the Baltimore Ravens will be in attendance. The Baltimore Ravens Pep Band will be performing throughout the morning near the reviewing stand on Baltimore Avenue and 26th Street, Draper said. “It is difficult to put a number on the size of the crowd lining the streets of Baltimore Avenue, however they are standing three and four deep along the way,” she added. After the Ravens Roost parade, registered Roost members will gather on the beach at Castle in the Sand Hotel on 37th Street, “a gracious host for more than 10 years,” for karaoke and miniature golf contests, volleyball, horse shoe and corn hole tournaments, a Crazy Hat parade, a dunk tank, Bingo, a scavenger hunt, a bull roast on the beach, followed by awards at night, Draper said. Participants must be registered members of the convention to participate. “The Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts have been holding their convention and parade in Ocean City for over 50 years, going back to when they were the Council of Colts Corrals,” Draper said. “For a fan club to remain active and growing for so many years is amazing even during the years when Baltimore had no NFL team. The convention and parade give the Roosts a chance to come together to celebrate their accomplishments, enhance camaraderie and participate in some friendly competition.”

anything that you purchase, so you can continue on with your beach day and then come back and grab your new artwork before you leave the Boardwalk. More places should offer that service, don’t you think? Jolly Roger SpeedWorld at 30th Street and Coastal Highway has had a soft opening for its new Cyclone Cart Coaster for a little while now but the official ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening was last Friday. The wooden course is the only one in the country, at more than 1,500-feet long, was built with 22,320 square feet of lumber, 78 pilings and 83,000 stainless steel bolts. Jolly Roger also bought 40 new go-karts for Cyclone. Half are single seaters while the other half seat two riders. At 9.5 horsepower, the vehicles have twice as much power as the regular cars. The course is wide enough for three-wide racing and all 40 cars can be used at one time if necessary. A typical ride will be between three and four laps long. Dean Langrall, director of sales and marketing for Jolly Roger Parks, told me that the main difference between a regular roller coaster and the cart coaster is the fact that you are actually controlling your own speed in the latter.

Since the SpeedWay is now open daily you can test it out for yourself but you might want to call ahead to double check the hours. There were a handful of new businesses pushing to open their doors in time for the unofficial summer kick off in OCMD and Ropewalk was one that made it just in time.

By the time you’re reading this, Ropewalk will have been open for exactly one week and it has been quite a successful launch. Chris Reda, one of the owners of the new venture, took a few minutes out of the holiday weekend chaos to fill me in on what is going on at Ropewalk. If you stopped in this past week then you were probably struck by just how big this place is and Reda was happy to mention the 300foot deck and three beach bars. He also told me that the lobster pot pies and crab cakes seem to be some of the early hits from the menu. The Dueling Pianos have been providing entertainment at night and lunch time on Saturday and Sunday for the time being will feature various acoustic players. Happy hour is currently running Monday through Friday from 3-6 p.m. with drink specials changing frequently. While Reda is really proud of what Ropewalk currently has to offer customers, he is equally excited about the future. There is currently a huge playground being built that will give parents a safe spot to entertain their kids while enjoying a drink at sunset. Look for the menu to expand and drink specials to continue in the coming weeks as Ropewalk finds its

Cable lines from Delaware and Maryland water towers? By Irish Kemp Contributing Writer (May 29, 2015) Do I have good news for local residents. Within days they will be able to zip in two- or four-seat cars on cable lines stretched from the Delaware/Maryland water towers to the local beaches within a couple of seconds. One gigantic problem. Don't tell my editor, Dobson, cuz the whole deal is supposed to be kept top secret until opening day. They're having a boatload of trouble finding Memorial Day, of course, but the real hangup will be finding a way to hoist the would-be passengers up into the seats. Not to worry, some genius will come along and solve that problem. No doubt in my mind.

If all goes well, they'll find loads of keys in the old Northside Park warehouse, under you know who's top hat that he uses on special occasions. Rumors are rampart that OC Today's editor will be the Master of Ceremony at this mind-boggling opening, but he will probably be a noshow cuz' he lost his top hat and keys at the last opening he hosted. They were spotted circling the moon in the sky tram tests. The tram encircles the Delmar beach area, not visible to the naked eye, of course. Some folks are very leery about these new methods of travel. Many do not approve of them. I've been searching for last week's column forever. Hit save and it took off like a bat outta hell! In the olden days my dad would have said, “I just saw it walking down the street.” CU IN OC

Play It Safe program kicks off 26th year in Ocean City

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (May 29, 2015) Play It Safe, a program that provides high school graduates with free organized, alcoholand drug-free activities in June, kicked off its 26th season this week. Play It Safe 2015 officially began Tuesday, with a breakfast at Blue Ox restaurant on 127th Street. The first events of the 2015 season are scheduled to get under way Saturday. Graduates will have the opportunity to tie-dye T-shirts Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street, bayside. That afternoon at 2 p.m., teens (the first 25 boys and 25 girls) can participate in a pizza-eating contest at Pizza Tugos on 116th Street in Ocean City. Play It Safe events will run through June 16. The Worcester County Health Department and Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee have coordinated the 2015 program with support from the Town of Ocean City, Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Maryland Network of Prevention Coordinators and local businesses and organizations. Approximately 50 events are planned this summer, including kayaking, basketball, tennis, pizzaeating contests, dance parties, dodgeball, stand-up paddleboarding, karaoke, moonlight bowling, laser tag, beach volleyball, indoor and outdoor miniature golf and T-shirt tiedying. Participants can also visit Splash Mountain Water Park at Jolly Roger

on 30th Street and ride the Tidal Wave roller coaster at Trimper’s Rides and Amusements. Graduates will receive T-shirts, food, drinks, giveaways and prizes at competitive events. Prizes have been donated by local businesses. This year, graduates can ride the resort bus for a $5 reduced rate fare. Purchase tickets at: the Boardwalk Train Station, South First Street; Boardwalk Train Station, 27th Street; City Hall, Third Street and Baltimore Ave.; Public Safety Building, 65th Street, bayside, and Northside Park Ocean City Recreation & Parks facility, 125th Street, bayside. Teens should take their purchased tickets to any Play It Safe event to receive a wristband to ride the Ocean City bus. The Play It Safe program is an effort to prevent the abuse of alcohol and other drugs by high school-aged visitors to the resort. It’s designed to encourage recent high school graduates to make informed, healthy choices while having responsible fun without the use of drugs and alcohol. “If we can get [graduates] on that track then we’ve been successful,” said Donna Greenwood, chairwoman of the Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee and a Play It Safe volunteer. “We want them to have a wonderful OC memory.” A total of 8,318 graduates from 16 states and the District of Columbia participated in Play It Safe in 2014. Since its inception, approximately 165,000 teenagers have signed up for See FREE Page 57

Aside from offering crabs to go and hand-cut fries, Monday night is officially now locals night with cool entertainment on the deck. Crushes are $5.50 all day every day and Natty Bo’s for O’s & Natural Lights are just $1.79. Harborside Bar & Grill on South Harbor Road in West OC celebrates ladies night every Friday beginning at 7 p.m. with $3 shooters and $4 for a glass of wine. Late night food and drink specials are offered Sunday through Thursday starting at 9 p.m. If you’re looking for somewhere a bit unique that is also family friendly then you might want to stop into Frog Bar & Grill at 806 S. Atlantic Avenue overlooking the inlet. The full breakfast menu served between 8-11 a.m. is especially good because you can build your own omelet. Also, check out Frog Bar’s coupons in OC Today for freebies to go with your meal. Last month Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli on 63rd Street and Coastal Highway had its first Cars & Coffee meeting early on a Sunday morning and the turnout was pretty respectable. Deli owner, Warren Rosenfeld likens it to a book club meeting, but for classic car owners he clued me in to the fact that these meetings take place all over the country. Since we already know that OCMD and the sur-

rounding area loves classic cars, another meeting seems like a nobrainer. That said, mark your calanders because the second Cars & Coffee meeting at Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli will be held on Sunday, June 7 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. If outdoor music is your thing and you like the sound of free (really, who doesn’t?) then check out Somerset Plaza located on Somerset Street between the Boardwalk and Baltimore Avenue on select Sunday afternoons all summer long. For the 13th year in a row, various performers will play beginning at 3 p.m., with Blake Haley kicking off the series on June 14. For more information on the summer schedule you can contact the OCDC at 410-289-7739. Last, but certainly not least, don’t forget that the Ocean City Performing Arts Center has acts like Hal Holbrook, Ronnie Milsap, Graham Nash and The Texas Tenors lined up to perform over the next few months. Tickets for the shows are available at the Convention Center Box Office or through Ticketmaster. For more information, call the convention center on 40th Street at 410-289-2800 or Ticketmaster at 1.800.551.SEAT (7328).

‘Vanishing Ocean City’ popular read; in second printing

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) What was originally a retirement project is now keeping Hunter “Bunk” Mann busy almost full-time. “When Granville Trimper died in 2008, I realized if I didn’t start this now I might miss my chance forever. In the eight years I’ve been conducting interviews for this book, 17 people I talked to died,” Mann said. Mann constructed his book, “‘Vanishing Ocean City” by talking with people who saw, first hand, how Ocean City developed from a collection of bait shops and fishing shacks into the resort destination it is today. “I performed 171 interviews, mostly with locals, but others who have been coming to Ocean City year after year after year,” Mann said. From this, patterns emerged. “About 20 people recalled the inlet being created,” Mann said. A hurricane carved the division between the resort and Assateague Island in 1933. “I owe a lot to a lot of people,” Mann said. “People were very generous to me, and there are a lot of things I couldn’t fit into this book.” Some of that material might make its way into future versions, Mann hinted. He said he plans to update the book in three years. “The book is arranged chronologically. I went from the start until June of 2014,” Mann said. Born and raised in Salisbury, Mann spent most of his formative years in and around the resort. “I pretty well grew up in Ocean City.” Mann said. After college, he moved to Washington D.C. but returned to start Mann and

Hunter “Bunk” Mann

Gray Insurance Associates. He now lives in Ocean Pines. “I really consider Ocean City to be my home,” he said. Mann said as a hobby he would take photos of old hotels being torn down, like the Belmont, which is now the site of the Belmont Towers on Dorchester Street. Mann credits his mother for planting the seed of the idea for the book, which was, at first, going to be a “before and after” book. As he started collecting information, photos and stories coalesced into a nonfiction book with the death of the Trimper patriarch. “I was really amazed that the first printing sold out. I thought it would take two years to sell those copies. I certainly didn’t think it would happen without the summer tourists,” Mann said. He published the book in September, and through his website, www.vanishingoceancity.com, and partnerships with local vendors, Mann has sold about 5,000 copies so far. The second printing should be available soon, Mann said, and no delays to existing orders are expected. “Now, I’m not on the New York Times bestseller list or anything, but when I see orders from Idaho or Washington state, I know I’m making an impact,” Mann said. Mann said he received in excess of 1,000 orders during the winter holiday season. “I’m just so grateful, and I’ve met a lot of good people,” Mann said. To purchase the 220-page book, which cost $50, visit www.vanishingoceancity.com.

OC Beach Patrol reminder: Always swim near lifeguard

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (May 29, 2015) “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” This is our trademark slogan that you will see many places throughout Ocean City. It’s not just a catchy phrase that you can see on the Seaboard Boat,

back of lifeguard stands and many other signs throughout Ocean City but more importantly a helpful reminder that swimming in unguarded water is never a good idea. Although this advice applies to pools, it is even more important when swimming in open water such as See DON’T Page 62

Don’t swim in unguarded water, OCBP says Continued from Page 59 lakes, rivers and oceans, which have uneven bottoms, changing currents and sudden drop-offs and changes in depth. People tend to leave their cares, concerns and their common sense behind them when they come to the beach. No one can blame them, vacationers have worked hard and they simply want to enjoy their time by the ocean. Most people believe that nothing bad is going to happen while they are on vacation and that they will never be the unfortunate victim of an accident or injury while enjoying a day at the beach. The possibility of a tragedy occurring

with a loved one is the furthest thing from their mind when they choose to go swimming without a lifeguard. However, it is important to remember that the ocean is not just a fun place to spend a vacation, it is a natural, ever changing dynamic environment and like all natural phenomena, if it is not treated respectfully it can be deadly. There are sad stories about people who have lost their lives because they chose to swim when lifeguards were not on duty. Even experienced swimmers and surfers have lost their lives swimming alone with no one to help them when things go wrong. Lifeguards and people dedicated to water/beach safety feel frustrated by these stories. There is no need for anyone to lose a family member on vacation. It is a tragedy

enforces rules, ordinances and regulations that I am sure some of you find annoying, but each regulation has been put in place for a reason. The beach patrol is responsible for maintaining a safe, secure and enjoyable environment for all of our visitors and ensuring that they may enjoy their vacation time. Please remember that if the lifeguard asks you to play ball at the back of the beach, fill in a hole, or move an umbrella out of their line of sight, they are doing this to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable beach experience and can return for many more. Although the beach patrol is not responsible for the newly adopted smoking ordinance we want to make you aware that if you choose to smoke you need to remain near a designated smoking receptacle. We hope you enjoy your time here in Ocean City. To help us keep you safe, always check in with the lifeguard on the stand and never go in the ocean if the beach patrol is not on duty. Follow the directions of the lifeguards and never underestimate the incredible power of the ocean. Remember our slogan and pass it on to family, friends or anyone whose life you value: “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”

that could be easily avoided. The ocean is constantly moving and changing. To the untrained eye it can look calm and safe, but currents on the calmest day can still be dangerous. Never be shy about asking your lifeguard about water conditions. Every member of the beach patrol is fully tested and certified before they ever have the privilege of guarding you, your family and friends. Their job is to recognize the danger and educate beach patrons about it. They enjoy speaking to beach patrons. If you hear them blow their whistle, look and see whom they might be trying to communicate with. It could be you. The lifeguards will use their flags to direct you out of harms way. Often during the summer we see a lot of wildlife activity out in the ocean. There could be whale sightings and very often, dolphins traveling close to shore. Although these creatures aren’t normally harmful to humans, it’s safer to simply move out of their way and let them pass. Lifeguards have a better view of what is going on from their guard stand and will move you away from the less dangerous occurrences such as these and the more dangerous situations such as rip currents.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Soufflé pancakes topped with caramelized bananas By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (May 29, 2015) Motherhood does not come with a set of instructions. But if it did, what would the prophetic words of wisdom be to ecstatic, expecting mothers? That being said, I cannot possibly imagine the trials and tribulations that I unknowingly bestowed upon my loving mother. But I know in my heart she would not change a single moment. Well, after a few minutes of reflection, mom might beg to differ. Family bestows dimensions of untold truths. Sisters have a bond that stands the test of time and can play havoc on the philosophy of parenthood. Mom went to great lengths planning our menu; making sure my sister and I had a well-balanced diet was of the utmost importance. But she never knew the intricacy of Donna Ann’s and Deborah Lee’s degree of negotiating gastronomical survival. Winning a battle comes in many flavors and sometimes it is best to let the other side bask in triumph. Donna Ann graciously drank every glass of my milk and I returned her kindness by eating all of her vegetables. As time progressed, mother had aspirations of walking me through the pageantry of becoming a graceful and refined lady. The first born sets the tone for future siblings. But destiny can have a change of heart, which in turn alters the course of intention. It was very clear early on that playing with dolls and all the frills were not part of my daily bread. Football and combat tickled my fancy as a child. To this day, I know mother is very thankful that divine intervention changed my career from football to food. The Walkers are not the Waltons and my mother’s sanity has been put to the test many a time. “Anyone for pancakes,” is the quintessence of a yummy breakfast; but this was not the case in our family. The grueling debate about the preference of pancakes or waffles has left many emotional scars. Each one of us relentlessly remains firm in our own right and refuses to consider other possibilities except what remains dear to our individual taste. For example, my father prefers plain pancakes with warmed syrup. Donna Ann, on the other hand, will only consume waffles that are piled high with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Mom is perfectly content with plain waffles and room temperature syrup. But my personal taste takes the mouthwatering cakes to another level. Soufflé pancakes topped with

caramelized bananas and spiced rum maple syrup is my idea of cookery heaven. Mother says I always have to be different; personally, I think it’s a good thing. If one has never had the opportunity to experience soufflé pancakes, you have no idea what you are missing. As a rule, I try to behave and watch my weight. But when it comes to the billowy puffs of delight, all sense of self-control goes out the window. No guilt here, sinful pleasures awaken my senses into a frenzy of desire. Caramelized bananas highlight the natural essence and is a nice contrast to the lightness of the soufflé. Spiced rum, rich maple syrup, and a rainbow of flavors slowly simmer until the tropical sauce thickens. Delectable, fluffy pancakes await the topping of paradise. Pure ecstasy does not knock on the door often, but when it does one must let go and welcome with bated breath. Enjoy! Soufflé Pancakes Topped with Caramelized Bananas and Spiced Rum, Maple Syrup

Caramelized Bananas and Spiced Rum, Maple Syrup 3 firm bananas, peeled and cut lengthwise 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 teaspoon 3 tablespoons spiced (dark) rum 1 ¼ cups maple syrup ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar 2 tablespoons cold water few pinches each allspice, cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg 1. In a large nonstick pan, heat 2 tablespoons butter over very high heat. Sauté both sides of bananas and get a good caramelization on each side. Slice bananas at a 45 degree angle and set aside. 2. In a small, heavy saucepan, combine the rest of the ingredients and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes uncovered. Remove from heat, stir, and cover until ready to use.

Soufflé Pancakes 2 egg yolks ½ cup half and half 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, sifted 1 ½ tablespoon unsalted butter (melted) 1 tablespoon sugar 1 vanilla bean (split and scraped) or 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 3 egg whites powdered sugar as a garnish fresh mint as a garnish 1.

130TH ST. IN THE MONTEGO BAY SHOPPING CENTER

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (May 29, 2015) Mai Dorey was on a mission. She wanted to make the area outside of her oceanfront condo on 81st Street more appealing and a place to enjoy coffee in the morning with her dogs or an evening drink with her friends. She was tired of looking at weeds and unappealing scenery at the entrance to the beach, then a friend told her the Town of Ocean City will donate old Boardwalk wooden benches by request. She accomplished her mission and spruced up the area, adding flowers, decorative roped logs, stones, a bird feeder and bird bath to the area in front of her home. “She got the idea, we decided to do it and I did all the labor,” Peter Dorey said. It took two full weeks of work over a four-month period starting mid-March with the bulk being completed during spring. The once barren area was transformed into a “mini park” with vibrant flowers among mulch and green patches of grass, decorations and a bench donated by the Town of Ocean City. The bench is dedicated to Ron Bassett, who passed away three years ago, was a well-liked character in Ocean City and the original real estate agent of the Doreys building, the couple said. The Doreys have owned a unit on 81st Street for about 15 years and completed this project with their own money. “It all came to my imagination and I put it together as I went along,” Mai said. “I continue to add more all the time.”

Nancy Windsor, president of 81 Beach Hill Condominium Association, hopes the Doreys will inspire other owners to beautify their beach entrances. “Peter and Mai’s work not only beautifies the beach area by our building, but greatly enhances the entrance to the beach for everyone using that path. Hopefully, it will be an incentive for others to do the same and thus beautify and improve Ocean City in general,” she

added. The Doreys have received inquiries from other people about improving their streets and visitors have been coming by taking pictures and sitting on the bench after enjoying a day at the beach. The Town of Ocean City offered to donate plants to the Dorey’s effort after submitting a plan. To inquire about benches, call 410289-8221.

The Upper School chorus, which included about 18 graduates, performed “Man in the Mirror” during the ceremony. Commencement speaker Steven Salvatore, a Worcester Prep alumni

and assistant director at New YorkPresbyterian Hospital, began his speech by praising the teachers of Worcester Prep and said how they will leave a lasting impact on the graduates. He encouraged graduates to enjoy every step of their futures and to follow their dreams. “You have joined the exclusive club of Worcester Prep graduates, don’t forget to make us proud,” Salvatore said. “Time is going to fly by, it’s hard to believe 16 years ago I was sitting where you are now. Enjoy every step of your future career, every step is

unique and interesting in its own way. Keep your mind open to new things and paths. Don’t be afraid to follow your dreams, some risks open doors...” Class President Christopher Choy delivered a farewell address to students during the ceremony and started off his speech the same way as Salvatore, by thanking all Worcester Prep staff, from the teachers to custodians. “Although we chartered our own path, I thank those of you who made this journey possible by providing us with your wisdom,” Choy said.

He thanked his fellow classmates for being “awesome” and told them he will treasure the memories they have made throughout the years. “No one I’d rather of gone on this journey with but you,” Choy said. He concluded his speech by encouraging the class of 2015 to strive for excellence, chance their dreams, be themselves and achieve their own success. “You are on the right track, embarking on the journey, ready to go forward and I congratulate you,” Board of Trustees President Charles Jenkins said to the graduates.

Capital Ringers present ‘Broadway to Hollywood’ (May 29, 2015) Capital Ringers, community handbell ensemble, presents its spring concert tour with the “Broadway to Hollywood” free show on Sunday, May 31 at 7 p.m. at the Community Church at Ocean Pines. The spring 2015 concert season, which runs April through June, will include arrangements from favorite movies and shows including “The Lion King,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Star Wars,” “Phantom of the Opera” and “Les Miserables.” Capital Ringers, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) community English handbell ensemble that entertains and educates concert audiences with an extensive repertoire of rock n’ roll, patriotic, sacred and current top 40 tunes. Founded in 2004 by Artistic Director Linda Simms, Capital Ringers’ mission is to provide performances to their audiences that demonstrate the artistic diver-

sity of English handbells. In addition to their handbell concerts, Capital Ringers sponsors educational opportunities such as handbell technique workshops and reading sessions for ringers from church and school organizations. Featuring the largest set of handbells and handchimes on the Delmarva Peninsula, the advanced group and the intermediate group, Bay2Bay Ringers, are always looking for new ringers, nonringing volunteers and professional help to produce their shows.

Hal Holbrook’s one-man play postponed to July 30 (May 29, 2015) Legendary star of stage, screen and television, Hal Holbrook, will bring his award-winning oneman play to the Performing Arts Center at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street, July 30. The show was originally slated for June 6, but in a joint statement released by the artist and the promoter, “Due to the conflicting date with the Belmont Stakes and the potential for another Triple Crown winner, Hal Holbrook and Bob Rothermel of TEAM Productions have decided to postpone his performance to July 30.” “Although ticket sales were steady, I was concerned about how the anticipated media hype regarding the potential for a triple crown winner would impact ticket sales in the last few days leading up to the show,” Rothermel added. “[The] last 10 to 14 days are very important to a show’s success and if we can’t break through the hype about a horse, the show could possibly be negatively impacted. The new date has been selected for the show based upon the

availability of the venue and Mr. Holbrook’s schedule.” All tickets purchased for the original date of June 6 will be honored for the new date of July 30. Ticket holders do not need to exchange them as they will automatically be converted to the new date. Those who can not make the July 30 date will be able to receive a refund. If seeking a refund, ticket holders are advised to return the tickets to the location where they were purchased. Refunds will be available through June 13. Tickets for the new date of July 30 are available at the Convention Center Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations. “Mr. Holbrook is truly a living legend who has received countless accolades and awards for not only this show but for his entire body of work,” Rothermel said. “It is an honor to bring him to Ocean City’s Performing Arts Center. This is a once in a lifetime experience.” For more information, call the convention center at 410-289-2800 or TICKETMASTER at 1-800-551-SEAT (7328).

Four new artists featured in OC Center for the Arts studio (May 29, 2015) The Ocean City Center for the Arts welcomes four new artists to the second floor studio space at its 94th Street location. Occupying Studio B is Gail Zinar of Lewes, Del. who works in watercolors and pastels. Currently a member of the Maryland Pastel Society and several watercolor societies, she studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C., as well as other art schools, and began her career as a commercial artist. Zinar believes having a studio at the Ocean City Center for the Arts inspires her to grow as an artist. “They have the most open minds for learning there,” Zinar said. “It’s very important to be around other educated artists and to interact with an art community.” Sharing Studio B is Jan Bain whose mission since moving to Ocean View, Del. is “to portray the lovely, luminous, vibrant Delmarva sunsets using watercolor, concentrating on Assateague National Park.” A retired school district administrator and children’s librarian, Bain began studying watercolor art with local artists and won Best in Show at the Ocean City Center for Arts in 2010. She said sharing Studio B is “a dream come true.” Glass artists Jeffrey Auxer and Holden Becker are sharing Studio A with potter Erik Hertz. Auxer, of Berlin, studied art at Salisbury University, where he became enthusiastic

about glass blowing. He creates contemporary one-of-a-kind blown glass art using classic Venetian techniques featuring translucent shapes and bright colors. Auxer, who also has a working studio and gallery in Berlin, has expanded into the arts center to be part of the creativity. “It’s a happening place and creates a wonderful exposure for my work,” he said. Becker, also of Berlin, studied glass working in Chicago and uses a variety of techniques to create glass art, including fusion, glass blowing and flame working. He draws inspiration from nature, personal experiences and the changing seasons. He also will be teaching fused glass techniques at the arts centers. “I wanted a studio at the Ocean City Center for the Arts to showcase the art of fused glass, which is a lesser-known form of glasswork that is growing in popularity,” Becker said. “I wanted to establish a presence in the Ocean City art community.” The Ocean City Center for the Arts at 502 94th Street is the home of the Art League of Ocean City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the visual arts in the Ocean City area through education, exhibits, scholarships, programs and community art events. The arts center is supported by memberships, corporate and civic funding, donations and sales of art. More information is available at artleagueofoceancity.org.

Ocean City Today

Web rental scams can be avoided

The principle of caveat emptor, or let the buyer beware, is certainly applicable in the case of the two Ocean City Beach Patrol members and their friends who thought they were working with a legitimate rental company, but instead were dealing with an online swindler. It cost them $7,000, or their summer’s rent, as a poseur on Craigslist took their money and then took off, leaving these four Montrealers homeless and broke in Ocean City. But given the official-looking layout created by this scammer – it included the names of real, verifiable people, copyright lines and other detailed information – few people would be inclined to question the ad’s validity. And that’s the problem: the Internet’s reach extends so far that there’s nothing to prevent one party from stealing another party’s web property for nefarious purposes. Even worse is that for some inexplicable reason, people have yet to grasp that the Internet is like a huge crowd of individuals, some good and some bad, with no dependable way to tell the difference. That’s especially a problem on advertising websites like Craigslist, which can’t vet its entries, thus leaving online shoppers to fend for themselves. That’s why some services are best sought directly from the source instead of an intermediary, digital or otherwise. Would-be renters from out of town, for instance, would be much better off dealing directly with a known and verifiable rental company rather than going shopping in an open air market, of sorts, on the Internet. It’s a shame these four people were taken advantage of and it’s an even greater shame that there’s nothing that can be done about it, except maybe find them a place to live if they haven’t already found one. In the meantime, as Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin said this week, this does present a teaching opportunity. This is the lesson: established rental companies have their own complete Internet sites. Even then, call the office, speak to more than one person and don’t rent by email.

Letters to the editor Events should take a time-out

Editor, In light of the documented lawlessness associated with the recent “cruising” activities in Ocean City, it may well be time to call for a time out, for this and similar events scheduled for our town in the coming months. While everyone seems to condemn the behavior we witnessed, we also hear the usual excuses by the promoters, the Mayor and city council members and even police officials. It’s not the registered participants we are told, but others who take advantage of the situation, who are responsible for the chaos that overwhelms our town, increasingly, during these events. You have seen evidence of this behavior on our streets and other public and private property, read the press accounts, letters to the editor and press editorials, all calling for action by our town authorities. It is time for the law abiding residents of this town to appear at the June 1, 2015 meeting of the Mayor and council to bear witness to the need for officials to take action to eliminate these af-

fronts to our peace and quiet and restore order in our town. Your actual presence at the meeting is critical, since proxies don’t count and don’t vote. Joe Moran Ocean City

Skateboarding a hazard on boards

Editor, We believe that a recent incident we experienced makes a strong case for broadening the ban on skateboards on the Boardwalk. On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:45 p.m. my 73-year-old wife was walking south from Thrasher’s with her French fries when she was struck from behind by a fast moving skate boarder who admitted that he was not looking where he was going. After considerable distress and evaluation by EMT’s my wife was transported to Atlantic General Hospital where x-rays revealed that she suffered a broken left hip. She required surgery and the insertion of three titanium screws to repair the break and is now undergoing rehabilitation treatment and looking forward to extended physical therapy over the

summer. While admittedly this is a sample of one, we feel that the likelihood of recurrence is high. The consequences of an incident like this can be devastating, especially for the elderly and the very young who frequent the Boardwalk. John Pilcicki Solomons, Md.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 93 Club, Hawkapellas, homecoming, graduation, prom, cheerleading (fall/winter), cross country, field hockey, football, golf, soccer (men’s and women’s), volleyball, basketball (men’s and women’s), indoor track, wrestling, swimming, baseball, softball, lacrosse (men’s and women’s), outdoor track, tennis (men’s and women’s), unified tennis, bocce ball. The above-mentioned list of clubs, sports and organizations are sponsored, advised, coached and overseen by the teachers of Stephen Decatur High School. With the exceptions of athletics – which coaches receive a mere pittance, and most have volunteer coaches as well – these programs are successful due to the time and effort our teachers donate/volunteer. These clubs, sports and organizations operate after the school day and will cease to exist if the Worcester County Commissioners and the Board of Education of Worcester County do not come up with a responsible, reasonable and trustworthy plan to ensure that our teachers receive what is promised to them in their contract, cost of living allowance. This is not a raise; this is simply a hike in their pay to counteract the effect of inflation. Our commissioners should be well versed in planning for these allowances as they propose their annual budget, yet year after

year our teachers are left with excuses and blame as to why they are being denied what is rightfully and contractually theirs. Scores of educators in Worcester County are disgusted, disappointed, angry and tired of giving and giving and giving, out of their pockets, out of their home life and out of their love to teach our children. These programs at Stephen Decatur teach, nurture, guide, inspire, drive, protect, serve and create amazing students. Our teachers are prepared to teach to the school day and that is it! I am urging you to contact your county commissioners and board of education, be a voice for the children, teachers and the future of the teachers of Worcester County.

PUBLIC EYE

Quick observations

By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher A federal court of appeals ruling this week declared that the liberal immigration policy initiated by President Obama doesn’t cut it, constitutionally speaking. Shortly thereafter, people at Colorado State University predicted a mild hurricane season this year because of the presence of El Nino. This was followed by a number of conservative presidential candidates calling for the deportation of El Nino on the basis that he does not have the necessary documents. So much for our paperless society. *** I have three observations about cell phones: 1. Considering that everyone has one these days, why is it that some people still feel compelled to yell to other people who are five blocks away? 2. It used to be a mystery to me why so many people spent so much time poking and looking at their cell phones while they’re waiting for someone or something. Then I realized that they aren’t fooling with the

MAY 29, 2015

phone at all. They’re faking it so they don’t have to talk to anyone. In other words, it’s the high-tech way of staring at your cuticles. 3. I never did get the Bluetooth ear thing. It used to be that if you saw someone seemingly talking to himself, you did the smart thing and went to the other side of the street.
