Baltimore man faces charges in fight fatality Detectives track suspect to resort based on outpouring of information from public

HAULED IN Bahia Marina dock crew members Max Thumma, left, and Chase Porter, right, and fish cutters/cleaners Kevin Twilley, second from left, and Skylar Snead, pull the large thresher shark Jeff Green caught aboard Stripteaser last Saturday onto a cart. The shark was too big to get into the 29-foot boat while fishing offshore, so it was towed alongside the vessel for three hours to the 22nd Street marina, where it was then pulled up the boat ramp. The 455-pound shark took first place in the Thresher Division of the 20th annual Mako Mania Tournament. Story on page 35.
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) Following a road trip to Baltimore, detectives with the Ocean City Police have identified and charged a suspect in the homicide that occurred at 136th Street and Coastal Highway on May 29. In a press release, the department announced that Darren Beattie, 21, of Sparrows Point, has been charged with manslaughter and second-degree assault for his involvement in a street altercation that took the life of Ryan Shupert, 31, of Lutherville. According to court documents, Beattie was released on bond on Wednesday. Police responded at approximately 2:30 a.m. May 29 after receiving reports of a street scuffle. At the scene, Shupert was found to be seriously wounded and was taken by Ocean City See SUSPECT Page 7

Wounded warriors get royal welcome during beach trip By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) With the thunderous roar of 175 motorcycles announcing their arrival on Tuesday, the Maryland Wounded Warriors Program brought three busloads of veterans to Ocean City this week for three days of relaxation and bonding. Since 2006, the Department of Maryland Veterans of Foreign Wars has brought a multitude of soldiers from nearby military medical and treatment centers for a tranquil visit to the shore. Tom Kimball, from VFW #194 in Salisbury, is chairman of the Maryland Wounded Warriors program. He said since so many veterans deserve a break that it can be challenging to be equitable. “Some want to come back every year, but I try to get new faces in,” he said. With help from the Hogs and Heroes Foundation Maryland Chapter 8, who were escorted by the Maryland State Police and the Wicomico Sheriff’s Office, the veterans received a hero’s welcome. They also were treated to a catered feast upon their arrival at the Princess Royale Hotel uptown on Coastal Highway. “A lot of them told me yesterday they could not believe how many people were out on the highway waiting for them,” he said. Attending for the second straight year was Dennis Cash, a member of VFW #6506 Rosedale, who was grateful to be on his feet this time. “Last year, I had a cast from a broken foot and was on a scooter,” he said. “I was actually on the standby list and they had cancellations so I got picked again.” Typifying the struggles of many wounded veterans, Cash’s recovery has taken years. “From 2008 to last year, I‘ve had 32 surgeries from the time I got messed up in Afghanistan,” he said. “It’s been a fun ride.” Unable to work because of his injuries, Cash is delighted to help other soldiers on the path to recovery. “Me and my wife both volunteer at

the VA in Baltimore in the IC unit three to four times a week,” he said. “It’s a very humbling experience.” Steve Mason, Maryland VFW past state commander, who has been with the organization for 53 years, said events such as the Wounded Warriors beach trip help combat the isolation some veterans experience. “You feel the world’s against you,” he said. “We need to tell our story because a combat veteran can not talk to civilians because they have not experienced the same things.” The horrors of warfare are impossible to fully impart to the uninitiated, Cash said. “To see a comrade’s head blown off and the blood and brains lands on you, it gets you to think,” he said. “That’s See VETERANS Page 5

Steve Mason, left, past state commander for the Department of Maryland VFW, William “Doc” Schmitz, investigator general for the National VFW, and Tom Kimball, from VFW #194 in Salisbury, right, want to assure veterans have a peer group to support their transition back to civilian life.
VFW members from around the state recall past experiences and current challenges during the annual Maryland Wounded Warriors beach trip on Wednesday at the Princess Royale Hotel on 91st Street.
Veterans supporting veterans Continued from Page 3 where the PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) comes and you can’t talk to your wife or your family about your experience.” He hopes that the continuing efforts of the VFW to connect soldiers with caring support can help reduce the high suicide rate among veterans. The article “Post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and suicide in veterans” published in the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine in Feb. 2012 noted that combat veterans are not only more likely to have suicidal thoughts, but are also more likely to carry out a suicide plan than the general population. “No one is hearing them. They cry out, and in order to recognize that, you have to experience it,” he said. “You have to be able to talk the same language and the average civilian cannot do that.”
Echoing Case’s sentiments, Mason has spent the majority of his adult life helping fellow veterans. “The reason I enjoy doing it is because the good Lord made sure that I came back,” he said. “I didn’t think I was going to get back. I was wounded three times.” By making his military colleagues feel comfortable and wanted, Mason hopes to bring them out of the darkness and into the light. “My slogan is reach out and touch a veteran, because they need it,” he said. Cash hopes to follow suit in the future. “Everyone of them has served before us and given up so much and are still willing to do more,” he said. “This will probably be my last year coming here as a veteran, but I’ll still come down with the VFW and help them out because I like giving back to people who give to me.”

Union starts referendum push for arbitration Petition seeks another type of remedy to ongoing labor contract dispute in resort
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 8, 2016) With the deadline of the local firefighter/paramedic union’s contract approaching, the local IAFF union launched a petition this week to obtain binding interest arbitration via a referendum in the next election. “Binding interest arbitration will help avoid labor disputes like the current dispute which has existed since March. [It’s] a tool to resolve and settle labor negotiations when those negotiations breakdown,” Ryan Whittington, the president of the Chapter 4269 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said in a
50 Save up to
statement. In March, city officials and union representatives failed to reach an agreement on a three-year contract that included cost-of-living and pay increases as well as a new shift schedule. Discussions broke down when the union rejected the council’s decision to change the duty schedule from 24-hour shifts to 12-hour shifts and refused to meet with the city again. The IAFF filed an unfair labor practice complaint against Ocean City that alleges the city’s proposed contract represents a “power-grab by the Town” who wanted to “to get more work from Fire/EMS personnel,” according to court documents. The city denied these claims in a formal response issued a week later. No formal action has been taken on the unfair labor practice complaint and no hearing dates have been set.
The IAFF has repeatedly requested that the dispute be taken to binding interest arbitration, where a third party mediator weighs in on an issue. The Ocean City Fraternal Order of Police, which won its collective bargaining rights in a 2002 referendum, while the IAAF was granted that right by the council, has binding interest arbitration as part of its contract. If the IAFF is successful in receiving signatures from collecting 20 percent of qualified voters, the measure could be included on the general election or a special election’s ballot. “The benefit of binding interest arbitration is that it tends to encourage labor and management to work to common ground and to resolve disputes on their own,” Whittington said. “Another benefit of binding interest arbitration is that it does not allow for protracted disputes and

conflict. Ordinarily binding interest arbitration is conducted on an expedited basis after negotiations breakdown, so that there may be prompt certainty and planning.” Whittington added that implementing binding arbitration would not only force a solution for the 12hour shift conflict, but would prevent future disputes. “The current conflict between Local 4269 and the Town does need to recur. If the proposed amendment is placed on the ballot and passes, it will not recur,” the statement reads. “If the amendment passes, in the future we will have prompt resolution to issues unresolved through negotiations. That is, as it should be.” Although the contract comes into effect July 1, city officials have repeatedly offered to create a non-24-hour shift since the new schedule won’t start until October 2017. However, the union’s official statement implies that a compromise will not be reached. “The Town has decided to unilaterally implement its proposals to upend the Fire Department by operating the department like no other comparable department. We continue to challenge the Town’s course ... we are confident that we will prevail in the proceeding,” the statement said. See IAFF Page 7

Suspect charged with assault, manslaughter after fatal fight make the following statement in the press release. “This type of senseless, preventable and tragic situation should serve as a reminder to everyone who finds public fights anywhere in Worcester County acceptable – they’re not,” he wrote. “Not only are they unacceptable but people Darren Beattie can lose their lives and others can lose their freedom.” Oglesby also praised the work of OCPD Detectives James Rodriguez and Brett Case for working on tips to locate Beattie in Baltimore. Anyone who believes they may have additional information is asked to call 410-723-6602 or submit a tip at oceancitymd.gov/police.

Because of an outpouring of information from the public, OCPD detectives were able to tentatively identify Beattie as a suspect. Based on this information, and with assistance from the Baltimore County Police Department’s Homicide and Intelligence Units, detectives were able to locate and interview Beattie and other witnesses and involved parties. On Tuesday morning an arrest warrant was issued for Beattie, who turned himself in at the Ocean City Public Safety Building later that same day. Although limited in his comments on a pending case, State’s Attorney for Worcester County Beau Oglesby did
City tweaks code to prohibit hoverboards on Boardwalk Continued from Page 1 code,” Ayres said. The city’s amended EPAMD definition “only includes electronic propulsion devices often referred to as Segways, but does not include … hover boards,” according to the amended ordinance. Since Mayor Rick Meehan was absent from the regular session, he wrote a letter that denoted his approval to pass the ban as an emergency ordinance. “This legislation is necessary due to
the density of pedestrian traffic and the safety hazards associated with new products such as hoverboards,” Council President Lloyd Martin said, reading from Meehan’s letter. Although the council unanimously voted to pass the emergency legislation, Ayres said the mayor would need to sign the ordinance to make it valid. “He can approve enacting it as an emergency ordinance by the letter. He can’t make it into law by the letter,” he said. “I’m sure he will come in tomorrow [Tuesday] morning and sign it.”

Assateague makes national postage debut Island named ‘treasured park’ at World Stamp Show in New York last Thursday
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (June 10, 2016) Wild horses were not present, but even if they were, they wouldn’t have been able to drag away the 100-plus philatelists who watched the dedication of a new postage stamp bearing the signature animal of the Assateague Island National Seashore last Thursday. They braved a not-so-beachy day to do so, with a light drizzle coming down and a fog lingering overhead, as workers set up a satellite link to the World Stamp Show in New York, which occurs only once every decade. The stamp itself, depicting a pair of
grazing wild Assateague ponies, was selected as one of 16 images honoring the National Parks Service on its 100-year anniversary. “Thanks for joining us on this beautiful beach day,” USPS Chief Marketing and Sales Officer and Executive Vice President James P. Cochrane said. “A gray day at the beach beats a sunny day at work.” Cochrane, a New Jersey native and self-professed “beach bum,” called Assateague “one of the most beautiful places in America – and one of its most-treasured national parks.” “Today we’re doing more than issuing a new postage stamp – we’re here to honor the men and women of the National Parks Service,” he said. “The postal service is issuing a pane of 16 stamps today, and each depicts a location across America’s national parks
system. These images and places they depict represent some of the very best of America.” He said about 20,000 employees work at the 411 national parks, which last year drew roughly 300 million visitors. About a dozen Assateague Rangers stood behind Cochrane as he spoke on the boardwalk entrance to the beach, near Bayberry Drive. “[For] your commitment and dedication to this mission – to the great job you do every day for the American public – you also represent the very best of America,” he said. “The National Park Service is one of America’s greatest assets. “The men and women of the National Parks Service preserve public treasures that extend beyond the stunning vistas and habitats for wildlife that

we associate with our national parks. They provide public places for recreation, they manage museums, historical estates and they maintain our famous monuments,” he continued. “National Parks Service exemplifies our collective desire to preserve our connection to the land and nature and our heritage, and to maintain what we find beautiful in our world.” Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan, speaking from New York, said separate ceremonies were being conducted in 14 national parks on that day. Assateague was apparently chosen as the sole park to do a “live check in” with during the World Stamp Show. She called the park “a beautiful seafront location on the barrier islands between Virginia and Maryland … famous for its beaches, its dunes, camping and wild horses.” “Miniature horses? No, there’s debate about that. The people upfront are shaking their finger at me,” she said, drawing laughs from the audience – both live and simulcast. “What better stamp to unveil at the beginning of summer when so many of us are thinking about summer vacations at the beach?” she said. Speaking to the national crowd, Cochrane joked that they “had horses here a little while ago.” “We sent them a memo. They were all supposed to report here, but they didn’t listen,” he said. Assateague Island National Seashore Superintendent Deborah Darden closed the proceedings, saying she had the “best job in the world,” because she got to go to the beach every day. She said plans were developed in the early 1960’s, just before the park was established, to build houses “all the way to the Virginia line from the bay to the beach.” After a huge storm, the community came together and convinced then President Lyndon B. Johnson to instead create a national park there. Darden said Assateague was in the top-ten percent in the nation in visitation, drawing about 2.3 million people each year. “People come for the great beaches, they come to fish, they come to clam, they come to oyster. A lot of people come for the incredible opportunity of driving on a wild beach,” she said. “And, of course, everyone comes for the horses. So many people read ‘Misty of Chincoteague’ as a young child and have loved these horses from afar and near.” Darden said the wild horses of Assateague were just as iconic as the bison of Yellowstone, the elk at Rocky Mountain and the moose at Grand Teton. “We’re just thrilled to have been included in this centennial stamp collection,” she said. “The stamp will take the story of Assateague to a new and broader audience, and I know everybody who looks at that stamp will think about what a wonderful place this park is.”

City Council forges ahead with PAC sound upgrades Single-sourced contract costs $246,000, includes ‘gold standard’ equipment
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) In what might be termed a sound decision, the Ocean City Council agreed on Monday to pursue a no-bid contract to upgrade the audio system in the Performing Arts Center. Last month, the city staff asked to negotiate a contract with Design Integration to install a sufficient music-oriented multi-channel system for the PAC, which currently uses a singlechannel setup designed for speaking engagements. The cost comes to just under $246,000 and will come from bond proceeds for the center’s construction. City Engineer Terry McGean said that the new system will be from Meyer equipment’s MINA line. Installation includes several left and right arrays, speakers that use three amplifiers and subwoofers. Meyer is considered the gold standard by several musical acts. Since Design Integration had corrected the center’s previous botched installation, McGean was confident that they would deliver excellent
service once again. “I don’t bring single-sourced contracts to you often, but to us it was critical that we had a contractor that we rely on to put this in, and put it in right,” McGean said. His vote of confidence did not assuage one citizen’s concerns about the contract. “I understand that we’ve discussed this at a previous meeting, but I did receive an email from a concerned citizen,” said Councilman Matt James. “She was concerned that it was not competitive and that Whiting Turner [the PAC’s main contractor] was able to approve Design Integration without the council’s approval.” According to city staff, the construction of the convention center was handled by the Maryland Stadium Authority, which then hired Whiting Turner as a construction manager for the project. Whiting Turner was present during the design process and then conducted open bid processes for site work, including sound and light contractors. “The original low-bid contractor [for the sound system] did not perform under the terms. Whiting Turner had the right to remove that contractor, recall the bond and use someone else,” See DESIGN Page 11

The council was satisfied by McGean’s answers and unanimously approved the single-sourced contract. But during the public comment segment, one person disagreed with the city officials. “I can understand the rationale for Design Integration, but I still think that Whiting Turner and the Maryland Stadium Authority did not have the liberty to override the mayor and City Council’s decision,” said Ellie Dieglmann, who wrote James the email of concern. “More importantly, the mayor and city council pushed for the PAC … a vast majority of people did not want it. “The market for performing arts was suffering across the nation,” she continued. “We did not want to spend money in the center when we’re not filling the convention center.” According to the recently adopted budget, the PAC is poised to generate $52,000 this fiscal year.

Design Integration returns to overhaul old audio system Continued from Page 10 McGean said. “Then they brought in Design Integration to finish the singlechannel install. They did a fantastic job, and as a staff we were impressed with their work.” He added that the PAC would need the best equipment to work unfailingly every single performance. He used the sound system in the council chambers to illustrate his point. “We had some growing pains, and we can deal with that. We can’t have issues when we have an event in the convention center, glitching in and out. We know the quality of Design Integration’s work. If we did have an issue, we would just have one person to deal with,” McGean said. Design Integration will provide setup and will be on site for the PAC’s first performance with the new system. That way the company would be accountable if there are problems.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) Healthier food options could be cropping up in Ocean City’s venues in the near future. The City Council on Monday unanimously voted to join the Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Cities & Towns Campaign. The HEAL Campaign, which is a nationwide initiative to promote healthier food and beverages and recreational opportunities, will work with officials to kick-start healthy living in the resort. The Institute for Public Health Innovation started this program in 2012 with funding from the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States and a partnership with the Maryland Municipal Leagues. Ocean City now has joined 27 cities and towns in Maryland, including Aberdeen, Berlin and College Park through the Mid-Atlantic region branch. To combat obesity, the HEAL campaign focuses on local polices that shape the community where residents and businesses make healthier decisions in their everyday lives. The initiative works with municipal leaders to assess their communities’ food and recreation environments – and identify where changes could be made. Suggested strategies include adopting physical activity programs for city employees and promoting local farmers’ markets. Other options include offering healthier foods in vending machines or venues like Northside Park or the convention center catered events.
The initiative was originally brought to the Recreation and Parks Commission’s attention in May. The committee noted that to implement the program, there would be little blowback on the city’s finances. In fact, Ocean City could gain some green through the HEAL campaign’s grant programs. The initiative offers $40,000 in grant opportunities to participating towns to build programs. According to HEAL’s website, there are two types of funding available: kick-off grants and implementation grants. Kick-off grants are awarded for small but vital steps to build a healthier community, such as installing a water bottle filling fountain or creating a walking trail map. These grants are valued at $500. The implementation grants award municipalities $5,000 to $9,000 for more involved projects. Funding is targeted to support workshops or support staff time devoted to adopting HEAL polices. Suggested programs for this grant include developing a bicycle path in underserved areas or amending the zoning code to expand urban agriculture sites. The HEAL Campaign provides sample policies and assessments through its website. The initiative also provides additional support through regional trainings, webinars, phone access to staff members, and presentations at City Council meetings. Since several of its programs could be used towards the resort’s Maryland Sustained Certification, Councilman Tony DeLuca asked that the HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign be included on the Coastal Resources Legislative Committee Green Team’s agenda for the next meeting.

Business sign supporting Trump targeted by vandals Harbourside Refrigeration owner holds steadfast to political views despite flack
KATIE TABELING/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Harbourside Refrigeration has been actively supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump since April. The sign has been targeted by vandals roughly six times in the last two months.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) When local businessman Steve Pfeiffer decided to support presidential nominee Donald Trump publically, he knew there would be some backlash. Since the Harbourside Refrigeration owner decided to put the slogan “Trump 2016 make America great again,” on his letter board that faces Coastal Highway, the sign has been vandalized roughly six times. “There’s some haters out there. They’re taking the letters off the board, maybe throwing them out in trash cans further up the road,” said Pfeiffer. “I just bought new letters, so I have a bunch. But I’m slowly working my way through them.” Presently, Harbourside Refrigeration is the only business along the highway that makes its political stance clear to those on the street. Pfeiffer decided to throw his – and his business’s – support behind the Republican candidate publically roughly around the time of the Maryland primary election last April.
CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Harbourside Refrigeration’s office sits on 38th Street across the street from the convention center, which was used as a polling station two months ago. Originally, the sign simply read “Trump 2016.” After Pfeiffer purchased more letters, Trump’s slogan was added. Pfeiffer said that he wanted to make it clear to everybody just who he believes is the best leader for the county. “I just want to support Trump and try and win people over instead of just settling for what we have,” he said. “The president we have now has already made a mess. It’s really hurt the workforce, especially worker’s compensation and labor laws. “Obama wants to give everything away, and not everything is free,” he continued. “In my heart, I feel that Trump’s going to make a major change in this county.” Trump’s opinionated speeches appealed to the business owner. “He really speaks his mind…. There’s politicians interested in oil, and there’s Hillary [Clinton] who’s for Wall Street. They’re out for themselves. But I believe that Trump is in this for the small businesses,” he said.

Local merchant feels Trump will offer vital change Continued from Page 12 Pfeiffer. In addition to the repeated defacement of the sign, an anonymous hand-written letter was delivered to the business two weeks ago. “America is already great. Trump is a lying, whining bitch,” states the letter. “Wake up to the fact that trade wars will not benefit American workers. Not fit!” Vandalism and letters aside, Pfeiffer is determined to keep the Trump slogan on the sign throughout the election year. “That stuff doesn’t bother me. I feel strongly about this, and I’m not going to be intimidated. No one can do that, not even my wife,” he said. Pfeiffer added that he plans to install a camera on the premises to catch the vandals and will soon be filing a police report. Despite the backlash against his political stand, Pfeiffer said he has received tacit support from some community members. “I got the guy from Endless Summer [next door] to keep an eye on the sign for other problems,” Pfeiffer said. “I’ve had kids take photos underneath the sign and some older couples too. Some people are just afraid to voice their opinion.”
Meg McCready returns home with fresh perspective
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) After two weeks of recovery, Meg McCready was released on Tuesday from HealthSouth Chesapeake Rehabilitation Hospital in Salisbury following her recovery from an accident when she and her boyfriend, Carl Echols, were run over in the Stephen Decatur High School parking lot on the morning of May 23. “We are both recovering still and there are things that will take a while, but Meg McCready we are getting there,” McCready said. “There is incredible support flooding from everyone involved. It’s certainly a huge help.” The accident has made McCready appreciate her friends and family more than ever, which she calls a “blessing in disguise” because it has also strengthened her faith. “There is so much to be thankful for through this and there is so much more to learn from,” McCready said. “This was a horrible accident, and it will have an impact on me until the day I die. But, I will never let it take control of me, it won’t make me fearful, and it won’t tear me apart.”

Sunset Park closing hours waiting on signs Time will tell how homeless population may be affected by Ocean City’s new policy
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) Last October, the Ocean City Council agreed that closing Sunset Park after dark might discourage its use as a favored sleeping spot for homeless residents of Ocean City. That seemed to be the end of it, however, until last week’s relatively light work session, when Councilman Wayne Hartman revisited the issue. “There’s been mention recently of the issues at Sunset Park, and I’m just asking that the city manager make sure the signs are posted that include ‘no trespassing,’� he said to the council.
The council’s endorsement of the idea in October came after several committees recommended some kind of restrictions and the council agreed to post signs advising that the downtown bayside park would be closed from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Nine months later, the signs have not yet been posted and the questions remains whether doing so would accomplish anything. “Would that be adequate, that the signs are posted with the hours specifically saying not trespassing within those hours?� Hartman asked. “In order to be changed from what’s known as a civil trespass to a criminal trespass, the property has to be conspicuously posted,� City Solicitor Guy Ayres said. “Signage should be wherever the entrances to Sunset Park are.�
0̞žm� 0A—my
According to Maryland laws, criminal trespass can be pushed with a $1,000 fine or 30 days in jail. Also, as Ayres told the council last fall, making use of the park during those hours illegal would require it to pass an ordinance to that effect. Assuming the property is posted at some point, there’s no way to know how it might affect the homeless population. “This isn’t necessarily criminalizing homelessness, it’s making it a byproduct of this legislation,� said Claudia Nagle, executive director of Diakonia. “It’s about the hours of the park and whether homeless people get caught up in that.� At the moment, the Ocean City Police Department monitors and patrols the park at night. When the signs will be posted, police spokesperson Lindsay Richard said police action won’t change that much. “Other than when there are events, there really is no need to be in the park during the night. Officers will continue to monitor the park and encourage those that chose to use the park for reasons other than its intended purpose to leave the area,� Richard said. The park’s hours may give the Police extra support to move people from city property, but the homeless can easily move to another area. Nagle said that different times of the year, there might be two to three camps in wooded regions. These camps are small and comprised of less than five people. “There were about three or four people that slept in the park for a while, and I don’t think that they’re staying there now,� she said. But according to a man who’s been staying in the Sunset Park area for years, there still are people sleeping in the downtown park. “There’s about three people sleeping here, but they don’t bother me,� said Robert Lee “Bicycle Bob� Sitler, who had stashed his blanket, sandwich bags of food and bicycle near the half wall that runs along the Park. “I got three knives and a piece of tubing.�

Sitler said he had been living in Ocean City for 40 years, but has stayed in the downtown area since before the park opened in 2006. He said he has permission to stay on a gravel lot adjacent to the park that is leased by the Searocket boat tours company. The same half wall that he uses to dry out his clothes and store his items divides the park and the lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police come through here, but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me, since I stay beyond this wall,â&#x20AC;? he said. Sitler was once a welder, but the cataracts in both of his eyes make it impossible to work, he said.

According to Diakonia officials, the nonprofitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intake process depends on a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ifs,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the biggest one is whether thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once they come in, we call to see if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bed available.

Nagle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s availability, then we do a basic assessment that determines how long theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in the area, are they truly homeless. We also go to the police and see if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any outstanding warrants on the person. Then we enroll them and develop a program to assess their needs.â&#x20AC;? Diakonia assists an average of 10,000 people a year through its various programs, including re-housing, the food pantry and other community services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homelessness is not a straightforward matter, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of things that go into people losing their housing, and the number one issue is lack of money,â&#x20AC;? Nagle said. She pointed out that issues such as unemployment, physical and mental health could exacerbate the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of those things become acute without money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complex issue and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working as a community to address it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ocean City man charged in $2.2M bank fraud scheme Businessman faces up to 40 years in prison, fines, restitution if found guilty (June 10, 2016) Ocean City businessman William Cook, 60, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of bank fraud and money laundering, U.S. Attorney for Delaware Charles Oberly announced Wednesday. The indictment, which came down Tuesday, arose out of investigations by the IRS and the U.S. Postal service, Oberly said. If convicted, Cook faces up to 30 years in prison on the bank fraud charge, and up to 10 years on the money laundering charge in addition to possible fines and restitution. The indictment alleges that Cook operated a business in Sussex County called AJJ Distributing LLC and that AJJ obtained a loan from a bank in Delaware in March 2008. According to the terms of the loan, AJJ was permitted to borrow funds from the bank, through periodic requests for disbursements, in an
amount not to exceed 75 percent of the value of AJJ’s accounts receivable. The defendant allegedly verified the amount of AJJ’s accounts receivable through weekly Borrowing Base Certificates, which he signed and faxed to the Delaware bank. According to the indictment, beginning in January 2009 through April 2010, the defendant is accused of falsifying AJJ’s accounts receivables by failing to properly account for amounts owed to AJJ from third parties. Over time, the defendant requested and obtained at least $2.2 million from the bank in loan proceeds after AJJ’s loan was already overdrawn according to its terms, according to the charges. The indictment also alleges that in April 2010, Cook falsely over-represented AJJ’s outstanding accounts receivable by approximately $3 million. “I want to thank both the IRS and the Postal Service Investigators, who diligently pursue such frauds as alleged in this indictment, and who pursue cases like this despite a shortage of personnel,” Oberly said.

Counterfeit bills circulate in OC (June 10, 2016) The Ocean City Police Department is investigating a counterfeit currency case involving bills marked for cinematic use, or prop currency. On Saturday, June 4, Ocean City police arrested two suspects who had attempted to pass two counterfeit $100 bills at a local business. Both counterfeit bills had the same serial number, PR 10008679 P, and were marked with the phrase “For Motion Picture Use Only.” Earlier in the evening on the same date, there was an additional unrelated
case involving a drug distribution suspect, who was in possession of six counterfeit $100 bills. The serial number for all six counterfeit bills was CP 01105192 L. These counterfeit bills also had the same “For Motion Picture Use Only” marking as the two counterfeit bills mentioned above. Since it is only illegal to attempt to pass prop currency such as this, not possess it, this individual was not charged in regards to the bills. Ocean City police are encouraging business owners and employees to

Health dept. pushes Zika virus awareness Thus far, cases have been limited to those traveling, with no transmissions in U.S. By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) The Worcester County Health Department is working to raise public awareness and prevention of the mosquito-transmitted Zika virus. The Worcester County Commissioners received a Zika virus preparedness planning presentation by County Health Officer Debbie Goeller at its meeting on Tuesday. The Zika virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family, which also lead to ailments such as yellow fever, west Nile and dengue fevers. Thus far, the virus has not been transmitted in the U.S.
“In the United States, there is no Goeller said to this point there current local transmission from mos- have been 19 travel-acquired cases of quitos,” she said. “The cases that we the Zika virus in Maryland. “In Worcester County, we’ve had have in the United States are from people who have traveled to those eight individuals tested,” she said. parts of the world “Most of where Zika transmisthem were ‘It’s a brief illness.

live near human habitation and lay eggs in natural or artificial containers. The aegypti mosquito actually prefers an artificial incubator for its eggs. “Sometimes these mosquitos, if they get in your house, their entire life cycle they can live in your house,” she said. “They are difficult to eliminate unless the egg-laying containers are eliminated.” Although the Zika virus is primarily transmitted by mosquitos, Goeller said those infected can spread the virus through sexual activity or blood transfusions, and theoretically through breast milk or organ/tissue donation. It is recommended that sexually active men who have traveled to an area with active transmissions of Zika use condoms for a few months, or potentially longer if experiencing symptoms. “No isolation is required for Zika patients,” she said. The Zika infection has an incubation period of 3 to 5 days, but this can last up to two weeks. Roughly 20 percent of those infected will notice symptoms, which include, rash, fever, conjunctivitis, arthralgia, headache and myalgia. Essentially cold or flu like symptoms are experienced. “Typically you’re not very sick. It’s a brief illness,” she said. “The virus

Zika virus, though generally mild, can impact pregnancy stays in your blood stream and lasts for about a week, so that’s the time when you can get bit by another mosquito and that mosquito can transfer it to another person.” Although the illness is generally mild, there are a few vital exceptions. Individuals diagnosed with GuillainBarre syndrome, a relatively rare disorder where individual’s nerves are attacked by the body’s immune system, could experience serious complications. Also pregnant women are at an increased chance of health issues, most notably microcephaly, a condition in which abnormal brain development results in a baby’s head being significantly smaller than usual. “They estimate 10 to 20 times the normal incidence of microcephaly,” she said. “This is very serious.”
At this point, the Health Department’s focus is on preventing mosquito bites. “We want to remove mosquito breeding sites,” she said. “These mosquito can breed in very small containers and some of them like to breed in smaller containers.” Recommendations to reduce the impact of mosquitos and the Zika virus include weekly emptying or changing of water in birdbaths, fountains, wading pools, rain barrels and potted plant trays. Also the public is encouraged to avoid areas high in mosquito activity and wear insect repellent. Also donning long-sleeved shirts and pants, weather permitting, is advised. Lastly people should confirm all window and door screens are in good repair to prevent bug home invasions.

Wallops Island angles for Trident contract Potential as operating base for Navy unmanned aircraft boon for local employment
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) The Worcester County Commissioners signed a letter of support Tuesday asking the U.S. Navy to select Wallops Island Flight Facility as the operating base for its new Triton MQ-4C unmanned aircraft. Merry Mears, county director of economic development, said the Wallops Island Regional Alliance is working to get backing across the region and already has letters of support from Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, members of Congress and the Eastern Shore delegation to the Maryland General Assembly. Also under consideration to be-
come the Navy’s East Coast Forward Operating Base are Mayport, Florida and Key West. “Half of Wallops employees live in Worcester County,” Mears said. “If awarded, this will bring 400 new jobs 15 minutes from the county border.” Wallops is already home to other unmanned aircraft, namely NASA’s RQ-4 Global Hawks, Mears said. She added that the location provides uncongested airspace, and the rural nature of the area eliminates potential encroachment issues. The Trident, which was designed by Northrop Grumman, has a wingspan of more than 130 feet and is capable of 30 hours of continuous airtime with a service ceiling of 60,000 feet. “The Trident is designed to cover huge swaths of ocean,” she said.

Chairman Peter Bale said Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe has also written a letter of support. The WIRA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect federal and defense assets on the Eastern Shore. “It’s really bringing the Delmarva back together and focusing on that Wallops region,” he said. “Not only would Wallops Island become a spaceport of excellence, it would become a national security position as well.” Regardless of the Navy’s location selection, Bale said there would be 68 air vehicles positioned around the globe, which has raised privacy concerns from some members of the public. “This is purely an information gathering tool that will be used over the Atlantic Ocean to protect our borders,” he said. Also appearing before the commissioners to voice support was Maryland State Sen. Jim Mathias, who said the combined efforts of politicians from multiple states, indicates the importance
of the endeavor. His comments followed a brief video from Northrop Grumman detailing the Trident unmanned aircraft. “One of the last remarks made (in the video) was Trident is the future, and we are right on the cusp of that future,” he said. “I’m certain those technological folks that are going to be hired down there when we achieve this contract are going to find Worcester County a great place to live and call home,” he said. Also voicing strong support was state Delegate Mary Beth Carozza. “It also lays the groundwork for future projects that we can go after and show that we can do it again,” she said. “It would be exciting to have this at NASA Wallops.” Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw of the Pocomoke district said the opportunity would be a financial boon locally and regionally. “It’s a definite win for the Eastern Shore and Worcester County.”
County Commissioners give FY 17 final budget approval By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) By a 6-1 vote the Worcester County Commissioners approved the fiscal year 2017 operating budget at their meeting on Tuesday. The county ledgers were balanced without increasing tax rates, which remain at 83.5 cents per $100 of assessed value for real property and maintains the county local income tax rate of 1.75 percent. The FY 2017 operating budget includes $188.8 million in appropriations. This reflects an increase of $6.4 million, or approximately 3.5 percent, over the prior year’s budget. The county was able to cut about $5 million
from the original $193.9 million of requested expenditures. Department budget increases in the following amounts were approved for the Elections Office, $129,858, Sheriff’s department, $477,787, Emergency Services, $202,395, county jail, $465,259, volunteer fire and ambulance, $198,247, insurance and benefits, $1,957,340, boat landings, $102,700, Wor-Wic Community College, $143,719, the recreation department, $20,315, taxes shared with towns, $343,500, grants to towns, $97,000 and debt services, $221,013. These were contrasted by decreases in a few departments. For example, See MITRECIC Page 24

Thunderbirds OC visit in jeopardy Rhode Island show already canceled, still uncertain for June 18-19 shore stop
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (June 10, 2016) An in-flight problem that resulted in the ejection and recovery of Thunderbirds pilot Maj. Alex Turner and his F-16 has forced the team to cancel a scheduled show in Rhode Island and left uncertain the Thunderbirds’ participation in the OC Air Show next weekend uncertain. “The cause of the mishap is currently under investigation,” said Brig. Gen. Jeannie Leavitt, 57th Wing Commander in a press release shortly after the accident. “Major Turner’s ability to steer the aircraft away from any populated areas and safely eject speaks to the quality of his training.” The Air Force confirmed the uncertainty on Wednesday. “We’re not going to Rhode Island but Ocean City hasn’t been determined yet,” Staff Sgt. Jason Couillard of the Thunderbirds’ press office, at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, said.

Mitrecic pushes for tax differential Continued from Page 22 public works road division budget was reduced by $189,624, and interfund charges dropped by $318,784. Among the increases was the Board of Education budget, which grew to $81.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million over the current year’s adopted budget. The board of education budget includes a 2.3 percent step pay increase and a 1 percent bump for those ineligible for step increases. Starting teacher pay will rise by 2.2 percent to $43,384. With roughly 6,600 pupils attending Worcester County public schools, the per-student expenditure is $16,843, an increase of $360 per student over this year’s operating budget. Commissioner Joe Mitrecic, while complementing the county staff for its diligence in preparing the budget, took exception to the disproportion of resources allocated for his election district of Ocean City. “I’m proud of this budget, however, I will not be able to support it because it does not address the disparity between the amount of money that the Town of Ocean City gets as opposed to the rest of the municipalities and homeowners associations here in the county,” he said. “In the long run, we have to address the Town of Ocean City’s tax differential and tax set off and I can’t support any budget that wouldn’t do so at this time.”

COMMISSIONER BRIEFS By Greg Ellison Staff Writer
Ocean City Grand Prix The commissioners granted approval to Phil Houck, owner of Crab Alley in West Ocean City, the use of part of the West Ocean City commercial harbor parking lot for a staging area for the Offshore Powerboat Association National Championship Race this October. The request was presented by county Tourism Director Lisa Challenger, who said Houck anticipates a crowd of between 4,000 to 6,000 people. The Ocean City Grand Prix takes place from Oct. 7-9. Races will take place on Sunday Oct. 9. The racers will be provided about two thirds of the east end of the lot to park trailers and boats. Also two boat ramps will remain open to the public. In a memo to the commissioners, Public Works Director John Tustin said his department would place barrels to cordon off the area.
Homeless shelter grants The Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday approved an application letter for state grant money to support two Worcester-based homeless shelters. The county is asking for $145,000 from the Department of Housing and
Community Development through its Emergency Solutions Grant Program. Of that total, $105,000 is earmarked for Diakonia in West Ocean City, with the remaining $40,000 to support Samaritan Shelter in Pocomoke City. The grant requires at least a 50 percent local government funding match. To that end, the county committed $45,000 to Diakonia and $20,000 to Samaritan Shelter. The Town of Ocean City also provided $40,000 to assist Diakonia’s mission, while the Town of Berlin contributed $7,500. Additionally, the United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore provided Samaritan Shelter with $20,000. According to the grant applications, during 2015 Diakonia served 117 households and Samaritan Shelter served 53.
Worcester business video The commissioners approved a contract for $6,500 to produce a fiveminute marketing video to encourage business growth in Worcester. The project is the brainchild of Economic Development Director Merry Mears, who is hiring Berlin-based DB Film Production to create the piece. “We will have this video on our Facebook and Twitter feeds, on our website, and it’s going to be available Continued on Page 26

AGH new cancer center The commissioners issued a letter of support for the Atlantic General Hospital Foundation as it seeks funding to construct a new regional cancer care center. The foundation plans to apply for a $4.6 million grant through the Maryland Hospital Association as part of
the 2016 Hospital Bond Project Review Program. A letter addressed to Commissioner Bud Church from foundation Chairman Todd Ferrante said the hospital has seen an increasing number of patients since it launched a cancer care program in July 2010. “Surveys covering our communities and our region show that cancer treatment is considered one of the most critically important health needs, along with the treatment of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease,” he said. Ferrante also said the mortality rate for cancer victims in Worcester and Somerset counties is 10 percent above the statewide rate. “Atlantic General Hospital is committed to increasing survival rates from cancer and enhancing the quality of life of patients,” he said. “The new regional cancer care center will combine personalized care and advanced technology, enabling patients to move smoothly through the various steps of their cancer diagnosis and treatment.” The grant application deadline is June 15.

Council passes ordinances on first, second readings Officials vote on select legislation unanimously with no public comment
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) The Ocean City Council unanimously approved a handful of ordinances on first or second reading with little comment during Monday night’s session. Easement The council passed an ordinance on second reading that abandons the city’s interest in two alleyways on the bayside between 63rd and 64th Streets. In exchange, the property owners OC Land Holdings LLC grants the city a 10-foot-wide easement and its appraised value of $9,000. Council members adopted the ordinance nearly a year after a public hearing was held on the alleyways. According to the council agenda, the easement is being considered as part of the bicycle path that spans the resort’s side streets and private properties. Throughout the year, the Transportation Committee has been in communication with several property owners to obtain easements for the proposed path.
Sign conformity Following last month’s discussions about signs on Baltimore and Philadelphia Avenues, the City Council passed an ordinance on first reading that brings some of them in conformity. The council agreed on May 10 to give property owners from Third Street to 17th Street an extra six years to move signs that are in the Baltimore Avenue right-of-way. Signs along Philadelphia Avenue that do not conform with the downtown design standards also have six years to be brought up to compliance. Non-permitted signs are to be removed based on the planning department’s guidelines. Those that impede visibility must be relocated in six months. Rooftop signs are to disappear within 18 months. Window signs and banner regulations are to be enforced immediately. Taxicab signs The council passed an ordinance on first reading that enlarges the size of taxicab signs from 36 inches to 54 inches in length. On May 9, the Police Commission moved the suggestion to upgrade the sign size for minivans or larger vehicles with favorable comments.

Visitors reminded to practice balcony safety City officials urge tenants to not overcrowd structures, don’t stand on guardrails
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) Following the fatal balcony fall earlier this spring, Ocean City officials are reminding visitors and residents to exercise common sense while enjoying the view. On June 2, the Ocean City Fire Department placed a 40-second video that on its Facebook page that covers basic balcony safety advisories.
“Don’t sit on the railings, don’t go over top of them, don’t stand on them and don’t lean too far over them,” said Capt. Eric Peterson in the video. “These are some of the things that could potentially cause you to fall over an injure yourself seriously.” The video was created last June, but its re-posting comes after the May 21 death of Jordan M. Hess of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania who fell from an eighth-floor balcony the Stowaway Grand Hotel. The chief medical examiner in Baltimore ruled the death an accident. The balcony safety video was cre-

ated last year after a man was seriously injured in a fall. There were three falls that summer, two of which resulted in serious injury and one that was ruled a suicide. “Every year, the city does do some outreach on balcony safety and what people should be aware of,” city Communication Manager Jessica Waters said. “There’s some dangers that could be prevented with simple things, like moving furniture away from the railing, because children can climb on it.” Ocean City officials also encourage property owners to inspect all balconies, decks and guardrails for potential safety hazards. Balconies and decks can be at risk for collapsing if they are old or not properly constructed. The International Code Council, which establishes the national regulations for buildings, also lists on its website dangerous mistakes made when constructing a balcony. One of the most common hazards includes nailing a balcony to a building instead of attaching it with anchors or bolts. Nails can work their way loose over time and collapse under heavy weight, according to the organization. Another safety issue tenants should be aware of is overcrowding. If people are struggling to move on the structure, it could be exceeding its capacity. Waters said that the balcony inspection standards are included in the
2015 International Building Code, which the City Council adopted earlier this year. “We often release a simple checklist that people can use to evaluate their properties, but we also encourage that people get an inspection from the city,” Waters said. Here’s a list of simple balcony standards that property owners can check themselves. Balcony: • Split or rotting wood • Wobbly handrails or guardrails • Loose, missing or rusting anchors, nails or screws • Missing, damaged or loose support beams and planking • Poor end support of the balcony deck, joists or girders • Excessive movement of the balcony when walked on • Swaying or unstable balconies Guardrails: • Missing, deteriorated or loose railing, ornamental pickets, top and bottom rails • Wobbly handrails or guardrails • Loose or deteriorated guardrail support post • Nails protruding from lumber Persons who believe their balconies or guardrails are unsafe should contact the Office of Building Inspection at 410-289-8855 or call a licensed general contractor for additional evaluation and repairs.

Hyatt Place The redevelopment of the Sea Scape Motel properties on 16th Street into the Hyatt Place hotel will take another 18 months. Sea Scape managing partner Tom Bennett filed for a site plan extension on the proposed 170 guestroom hotel and four employee apartments. Included in the plan is retail conference and wedding space. The Planning and Zoning Commission originally approved the 18-month site plan in December 2014. The hotel was scheduled to be opened by summer 2016. “It’s a long process to pursue this project,” said Hugh Cropper, the project’s attorney. “We would like to break ground in 18 months, but I think it’s a bit ambitious.” Several commission members agreed with Cropper’s assessment. “I know the paperwork needed to build and that 18 months can pass in a blink of an eye,” said Commissioner Palmer Gillis. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously agreed to extend the Hyatt Place Hotel complex’s site plan.

Concrete plant hearing A public hearing to rezone the Cropper concrete plant property near the east entrance of the Route 50 bridge has been granted a continuance. The hearing was to determine whether the property that runs east along St. Louis Avenue, which is currently divided between manufacturing (M) and downtown mixed-used (D-MX) designations would be suitable for a Ropewalk Restaurant and hotel. On April 4, the landowners filed to change the site’s classification to inlet district (I-1). However, the hearing was postponed because Joseph Moore, who represents the Ropewalk, was not able to attend. “He is in Florida and stuck with bad weather and was not able to fly out yesterday or this morning as he hoped,” said zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith. “He sent an email… and he apologizes and is embarrassed over the matter because his timetable did not work out. But he asked [for a continuance] because he has to represent his client and he can’t do that being in Florida.” The commissioners voted to continue the public hearing on June 21. City officials will continue to advertise the property. There were roughly nine people in the audience. “We’re not taking any kind of comments at this evening, but there is a pad a paper where you put down your contact information. We will certainly get the information to you,” said Commission chair Pam Buckley.

Rainy weather affects terrapin survey totals More than 125 turtles spotted during annual count, May 31 to June 4
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) The Maryland Coastal Bays Program participated in the fifth annual terrapin head count survey May 31 to June 4, which encompassed all five bays including tidal creeks and marsh guts. As of Monday afternoon, more than 125 turtles were spotted by 38 volunteers including a troop of about 20 boy scouts. “I expect several more data sheets will be coming in,” said Maryland Coastal Bays Technical Coordinator Jennifer Rafter. “The numbers may still be lower than last year due to overcast and rainy weather. The final count data will be available in a few weeks.” Last Friday, a turtle count on Isle of Wight Bay from Sunset Marina to 56th Street in Ocean City uncovered 17 turtle sightings from around 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., although other volunteers may go out and not see any at all, Rafter said. Two training classes took place in May to help participants decipher Diamondback Terrapin from the other 19 species of turtle populations in Maryland, such as the snapping tur-
SUPER
tle. All surveys taken during the count, regardless of turtles spotted, are valuable to the Maryland Coastal Bays and the Maryland Terrapin Working Group, who partnered together to count turtles in the Chesapeake Bay and Coastal Bays for the fifth year. Population numbers of Diamondback Terrapin in Maryland are largely unknown and to better understand their status in the area these surveys are conducted annually. “In order to study if a species is doing well you need a starting point and it takes time to gather information to see if they are declining, remaining the same or increasing,” Rafter said. Counting terrapin heads in the water as they gather to breed, start to feed or come out of hibernation is considered an effective way of monitoring population numbers. The state reptiles are never captured or disturbed. “It is a slow year because of the overcast skies,” said Roman Jesien, science coordinator for Maryland Coastal Bays. “Terrapin enjoy sunny days.” The Maryland Coastal Bays provided a motorized boat for the adventure on June 3, with surveyors using boats, canoes, kayaks and stand-up

paddleboards this past week to count turtles. Each year, new participants survey different areas and repeat volunteers continue to count turtles in the same places. Seminal sites allow researchers to compare the same areas for a consecutive amount of time and provides valuable data for the group. In addition, land-based surveys were conducted to collect additional data for the second year. “Land-based surveys are going well. People have been using spotting scopes, which allows them to see up close,” Rafter said. “It has expanded our appeal and allows a lot more people to get involved. Not everyone has the option to get on a boat and without all the volunteers spending their time, we wouldn’t be able to cover the whole area. We have a small staff.” These surveys help residents and visitors to become more familiar with Diamondback Terrapin, its habitat and history. “An activity for us to see totals has expanded into an outreach endeavor,” Jesien said. “People get excited and very passionate about protecting them.” Rafter said hundreds of turtles are counted each year and the Maryland Coastal Bays conduct its surveys a little later than surrounding areas since
the Coastal Bays have colder water temperatures and terrapins emerge later after the cold winter. The decline of their habitats is the main reason the Maryland House and Senate decided to ban commercial harvesting of the Diamondback Terrapin in April 2007. The turtles take a long time to reproduce, which makes it harder to increase population numbers quickly. Females need soft, sandy beaches to nest on. Many shorelines in the area are too hard for these creatures with their bulkheads and rift raft, Rafter said. Diamondback Terrapin eat mollusks, clams, worms, some fish and love snails, she added. Snails destroy the Chesapeake’s marsh grasses, which makes terrapins essential to the Chesapeake ecosystem and invertebrates would increase without the state reptile. On Friday, Rafter, Jesien and Maryland Coastal Bays Intern Sam Bingaman, collected dozens of mud snails to check for the parasite, Pleurogonius malaclemys. “Terrapins are the final and only host for these parasites,” Rafter said. “These parasites can be used to estimate terrapin populations and we are trying to see a correlation between terrapins and the number of snails.” Forgotten crab and ghost pots trap and drown dozens of turtles every day. “Reptiles have to breathe air and pots need to have a turtle excluder device, which is a piece of metal to block the entrances for terrapin shells,” Rafter said. “They are our state reptiles and we should not let anything happen to them.” Report terrapin sightings all summer long at www.mdcoastalbays.org/terrapinproject. It is important to supply GPS coordinates or a specific street address when reporting turtles.

MSSA presents 27th Tuna-ment tourney next week
LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
The Jade II took top honors in the Mako Division of the 20th annual Mako Mania Tournament, with a 220.8-pound shark caught by Rich Galante last Friday. The crew was awarded $52,340.
Record payout, participation for 20th Mako Mania
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 10, 2016) It was a record year for the 20th annual Mako Mania Shark Tournament, with the most participation and payout awarded to the winners. A total of 270 anglers fished on 58 boats during the event, presented by Bahia Marina Tournaments, held June 3-5. Total prize money distributed was $103,240. “I think it went extremely well. I just want to thank all the captains, mates, fishermen and women who participated,” said Mako Mania coDirector Earl Conley. “We were blessed with better weather than expected. It was a cold and rainy winter and spring and people came out ready to fish.” The first day of the tournament, Friday, June 3, saw 13 mako sharks, three threshers and one bluefish brought to the Bahia Marina scale on 22nd Street. The next day, seven makos, one thresher and two bluefish were weighed. On the final day, Sunday, June 5, only one mako was brought to the marina. See BIG Page 36

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 10, 2016) The Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association will present its 27th annual Tunament Tournament next weekend. For the 2016 competition, the maximum boat length (manufacturers specifications) for participants is 38 feet. Teams will fish two of three days – Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday, June 17-19. “Participants love the relaxed tournament environment and the ability to win a good chunk of money,” said Dave Smith, executive director of the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association. “It’s designed for the average recreational angler.” Tuna is the main division for the tournament and all species are eligible, except false albacore. Teams boating first-, second- and thirdheaviest tunas will be awarded prize money. “Tuna fishing is on fire right now and is looking to get even better,” Smith said. In addition, there are optional added-entry skill level calcuttas, or TWT (Tournament within Tournament) for the chance to win additional prize money for reeling in the single heaviest tuna as well as for stringer weight (two or three fish). Calcuttas range from $100-$500. A category for dolphin is available as well. The cost to enter for single heaviest is $75; $100 for stringer weight (three). Captains may weigh three tuna and three dolphin per day. Final registration and a local captains’ meeting will take place, 6-8 p.m. at Alltackle, off Route 50 and Golf Course Road in West Ocean City, on Thursday, June 16. The cost to enter the tournament is $275 for MSSA members, $300 for non-members. Atlantic Tackle on Sunset Ave. in West Ocean City is one of three official weigh stations. The others are Curtis Merritt Marina in Chincoteague, Virginia and Hook’em and Cook’em at the Indian River Inlet in Delaware. The weigh-ins will take place from 4:30-8 p.m. each tournament day. For more information, visit www.mssa.net or call 410-255-5535. Sixty boats registered for the 2015 tournament. Forty-five of them fished out of Ocean City.

The 455-pound thresher shark Jeff Green caught aboard Stripteaser last Saturday was too large to get into the 29-foot boat, so it was towed alongside from offshore for three hours until the vessel arrived at Bahia Marina on 22nd Street. LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Talk N Trash angler Bo Rites boated a 12.2-pound bluefish last Friday, Day 1 of the 20th annual Mako Mania Tournament. He and his teammates won $6,031.
Decatur boys’ lacrosse team Big mako, thresher sharks players earn Bayside awards caught during tournament Continued from Page 35 “A lot of sharks were caught. There were a ton of blue sharks released, a lot of makos were released, a bunch of small threshers and a couple big tiger sharks – one estimated to be 800 pounds – were released,” Conley said. “Once the 400-pound thresher hit the board, you’re not going to bring one in unless it’s a monster.” The Jade II took top honors in the Mako Division with a 220.8-pound shark caught by Rich Galante. The crew was awarded $52,340. The Reel Nauti earned second and third place with 199.2- and 182.5pound makos reeled in by Dakota Bitner and Bill Brown, respectively. The team received $7,250. Because of participation in addedentry level calcuttas, or wagering pools, the Outnumbered and Absolute Pleasure was also presented prize money. Dave Schultz hooked a 176.7pound mako aboard Outnumbered and won $9,774. Jamie Romero landed a 157-pound mako while fishing on Absolute Pleasure and pocketed $6,516. Just before 11 a.m. last Saturday, a thresher grabbed the Stripteaser’s bait. It took Jeff Green about an hour to get the large fish to the boat. It was
too big to pull onto the 29-foot boat so the crew dragged it alongside the vessel to Bahia Marina. It took about three hours for the three-man crew to arrive at the marina because they had to go slow. After arriving, the fish was pulled up the boat ramp and placed on a cart in the water. Dock crew then carted it to the scale. The thresher measured 96 inches and weighed 455 pounds. The fish was worth $10,060. Green also earned first place in the division last year with a 500-pound thresher caught aboard Hook N’ Tail. Capt. Ike II angler Mike Moss reeled in a 407.8-pound thresher, good for second place in the 2016 tournament and $4,536. Kirk Thompson’s 318.7-pound thresher landed aboard Teaser finished in third place. The crew received a check for $3,024. Talk N Trash angler Bo Rites boated a 12.2-pound bluefish. He and his teammates won $6,031. Sonny Snodgrass hooked a 10.3pound bluefish while fishing on M Keli Jean. It finished in second place and was worth $2,709. The Marli crew released six makos to win the $1,000 W.W. Harman award for most sharks released.

The first of three summer high school tennis tournaments was completed June 5 at the Ocean City Tennis Center on 61st Street, with 24 juniors from eight high schools competing. Pictured are Adam Pizza, left, and Josh Domingo, who both finished with 39 points for the top spot in the Gold Flight. They are joined by Tournament Director Bruzz Truitt.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) Close to 4,000 players will be competing on Saturday and Sunday, June 11-12, during the 21st annual Sand Duels Beach Soccer Challenge between North Division and Wicomico Streets. “The talent level of these kids is unbelievable,” Director Scott Westcoat, said. “It is pretty impressive to see thousands of players at a time from recreational to competitive and youth.” Games will take place Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the beach with younger kids under 12 playing on Saturday and adults taking the sand on Sunday. Look forward to seeing boys, girls, youth and adults ranging in age from 6 years old to over 60 competing. “We have 550 teams this year and that is a record,” Westcoat said. “We are still growing and adding people to the rosters.” Last year, 530 teams participated and Westcoat encourages individual
players to reach out on Facebook if they would like to join a team last minute. “We are happy other events have spawned off,” Westcoat said. “The format makes it easy to play where teams start and finish in one day. Teams usually come down Friday and some finish up early on Saturday. It allows the players to enjoy the beach with their family and gives them a full weekend in Ocean City.” Westcoat said a few players from a women’s national championship team will be playing on Sunday and this event is the largest sand soccer event in Ocean City. “It is pretty neat to see a few thousand kids playing at 8 a.m.,” Westcoat said. “We are happy to be welcomed for 21 years and everyone makes it very easy to bring an event to Ocean City.” For more information or to see if any spots are open, check out ocbeachsoccer.com or search “Sand Duels Beach Soccer” on Facebook.

Harness racing’s heritage in America goes back to the 18th century. Racing began in the post-Revolutionary War days under Washington and Jefferson and still goes on strong.” Szymanski said he anticipates an average attendance of more than 1,200 people per night.

(June 10, 2016) Registration is off and running for Ocean City’s summer youth camp season. This summer Ocean City Recreation and Parks (OCRP) are offering a larger variety of different camp sessions than ever before. Ocean City’s day camps – both Camp Horizon (ages 5-12) and Scamper Camp (ages 3 1/2-5) – continue to be the most popular among residents, as parents choose to rely on the heavy dose of entertainment and social activities administered to their children while they work. Yet, it is the large variety of sports, arts and science camps offered that has gained increasing attention over the past few years among both residents and visitors alike. Back by popular demand, are boys’ and girls’ lacrosse camps, For the Love of Soccer Camp (led for 30 years by former Baltimore Blast player and coach Bobby McAvan), and a skate camp, held at the Ocean Bowl Skate Park downtown. Other returning favorites include beach volleyball, golf, tennis, flag football, basketball and fishing. Science camps round out the schedule, including opportunities to build both robots and rockets. “In our continuing efforts to offer maximum variety and flexibility during the summer months, Ocean City Recreation and Parks has increased its sessions this summer by offering several new camps,” Recreation Superintendent Kate Gaddis said. “We wanted to bring in several new options that would grow our list of options, covering all areas of interest.” New this summer is Lego Camp, OC Five-Star Softball Camp, OC Field Hockey Camp and Ultimate Frisbee Camp. “There is a camp for anyone to enjoy, depending on their hobbies and interests, whether they want to spend time on Ocean City’s beautiful beach or enjoy our many parks and attractions,” Gaddis said. “Even for those times when families would like to include some more structured ‘play’ or learning in their children’s schedules, we have lot to offer there too.” Along with sports and science, OCRP offers several art programs, including Art Adventure Camp (sponsored by the Art League of Ocean City), drama camp (led by Schoolhouse Theater Arts, Inc.), and dance. Last but certainly not least, water sport camps are especially popular during the hot summer months. Camps like surfing, boogie board, Junior Beach Patrol, kayaking and stand-up paddleboard fill up fast. The above is only a partial listing of the more than 100 camps, classes, programs, activities and events that OCRP offers both residents and visitors. A complete guide can be found at www.oceancitymd.gov, under Recreation and Parks/Recreation Programs. To registration for these and other programs, visit www.OCSportsCamps.com.

Owner Phil McGuire shows off his wide variety of jerky and nuts at Kinda Jerky Really Nutty (KJRN) on Sixth Street and the Boardwalk last week.
Check out Kinda Jerky Really Nutty Shop on OC Boardwalk at Sixth Street features 19 different jerky meats
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) Harford County resident Phil McGuire opened Kinda Jerky Really Nutty (KJRN) on Sixth Street and the Boardwalk on St. Patrick’s Day weekend with the intent to bring healthier options to the resort. “We create our nut mixes by hand and they are detailed to any diet or lifestyle,” McGuire said. “We’re everything that is not on the Boardwalk. We only use premium ingredients, nothing is artificial and in some cases, we make it right in front of you.” There are 19 different jerky meats ranging from specialty to exotic. The selection includes python, alligator, snapping turtle, swordfish, mako shark, kangaroo, elk, pork, turkey, ahi tuna, beef brisket and wild boar. “Our jerky flies off the shelves having no preservatives or nitrates and being all-natural,” McGuire said. “They are sheets of meat, nothing is pieced together and it is made in the USA. We have a manufacturing plant in Indiana.” All nut flavors are packaged in-
house with the mixes created by hand including options such as wild wasabi and buffalo. “The nuts are all-natural with options being heat-related to dried fruits and sweets,” McGuire said. “We make our own granola and roast our own almonds, cashews and pecans.” McGuire has a friend, Phil Rhudy, who owns Independent Brewery in Bel Air, Maryland and he allows KJRN to use his IPA to mix with almonds. “The IPA almonds are most popular,” McGuire said. “We are looking to partner with small businesses and have been talking with Burley Oak.” KJRN can provide private labels on their products to give partners recognition. In addition, visitors have the option to grab a bag and create their own custom mix for a set price with at least 10 different flavors of nuts and fruits to choose. The store has an in-house pastry chef, local Monique Rossignol, who bakes cupcakes, brownies, cookies, granola and health bars. “You name it, she can make it,” McGuire said. KJRN also sells grilled cheeses, pancakes and waffles made from scratch, all-natural smoothies, or-
ganic juices, gourmet coffee and teas, fresh produce, banana chips, B-12 energy drinks, protein bars, 8-pound bags of ice and frozen bananas. The store also sells merchandise like Tshirts, hoodies, backpacks, hats, rugby balls, stuffed animals, cups and Ocean City containers. “We can make custom cakes for birthdays, weddings or a celebration,” McGuire said. “We need 24 hour notice and can deliver the cake.” Powder-shaved snow balls with cube or block ice can be purchased with 10 fruity flavors and eight allnatural options. Customers are handed the ice and put the flavors on themselves. “There are multiple options for everyone to satisfy their in between meal craving,” McGuire said. Kinda Jerky Really Nutty also delivers snack boxes directly to hotels or homes in Ocean City and the surrounding areas. Anyone can order from custom bulk options online or sign up for a subscription to receive boxes monthly. “A few people have signed up to have a little bit of their vacation sent to them monthly,” McGuire said. In addition, starting June 16, there will be an hour-long workout class See STORE Page 42
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (June 10, 2016) We’ve seen a lot of auction signs around town lately. And, just like attending a foreclosure sale, attending a real estate auction is an opportunity to purchase a distressed property below market value. Not all auctions are of distressed properties. In certain situations, sellers may choose to sell their real estate through an auction. Auctions are intense, accelerated real estate marketing processes that involve the public sale of property. For example, many “estates” choose to sell their real estate and personal belongings in an auction to accelerate the sale for the benefit of multiple heirs. Auctions can benefit a buyer in many ways. For one, the buyer knows the seller is committed to selling quickly. Secondly, the buyer is able to control their purchase price. Furthermore, if the auction is termed “absolute auction”, the buyer knows that the winning bid will definitely be accepted by the seller, because in an absolute auction, the highest bidder acquires the property irrespective of the bid amount, because no reserve price has been set. Of course, on the flip side, auctions require cash. Winning bidders at an auction will need at least a portion of the purchase price and could have as little as 24-48 hours to pay the balance (this is usually an option for cash buyers, and can help a buyer save on certain fees and settlement costs). But whether you are purchasing with cash or financing the purchase, you’ll have to be prepared with cash on hand and a budget for the property you want when attending an auction. It is also a good idea to have your financing in place, or at the very least, a pre-approval amount to use as a guide in the bidding. Also important to note: properties sold at auction are “as-is” sales. Enlisting the help of a knowledgeable, licensed realtor can help alleviate some of the pressure associated with the unknowns for any particular property. Another advantage to utilizing your realtor’s guidance is their ability to help determine the property’s market value by running a comparative market analysis. Some foreclosures get sent to auction because its days-on-market value exceeds what the bank deems a reasonable amount of time to sell. But in See WINNING Page 42

KJRN at Sixth Street and the Boardwalk is generally open from 6 a.m. to after midnight, although
hours vary. For more information, check out kj-rn.com or call 410-289-1060.
Winning bidders must have cash Continued from Page 41 many cases, these properties are being sent to national auction companies where buyer premiums can be as high as 5-10 percent of the total selling price. A buyer premium is a fee added to the winning bid, and is added to the total purchase price. For example, if the winning bid for a property is $500,000, and the buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premium is 5 percent, the total purchase price is $525,000.

(June 10, 2016) Atlantic General Hospital physicians, leaders and clinicians gathered recently to celebrate the Robert A. Warriner III, M.D., Center of Excellence award, which was given to the Wound Care Center because it has met the Center of Distinction quality standards for Healogics for at least two consecutive years. The Center has again achieved patient satisfaction rates higher than 92 percent and a healing rate of at least 91 percent in less than 30 median days, among other quality standards, for calendar year 2015. The Center was awarded this prestigious honor by Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services. Out of 780 eligible Centers, only 110 were honored with this award. The award is named for Dr. Robert A. Warriner III, a pioneer in wound care and the former chief medical officer for Healogics. Atlantic General Hospital’s Wound Care Center was the only center in the country to achieve the Excellence standards for seven straight years. “We are thrilled to have earned this distinction.

Ocean City Car and Truck Show this Sat. and Sun.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) The 15th annual Ocean City Car and Truck Show will feature hundreds of vehicles from exotic cars to customized trucks inside and outside the convention center on 40th Street this weekend. There will be live radio broadcasts from Power 101.7, a social media lounge, and Sound FX will sponsor a vendor alley. The event, hosted by Live Wire Media, will have some of the best unique and custom cars on the East Coast, said Brad Hoffman, who created the show. “We focused on better cars and more cars,” Hoffman said. “We think this year is one of the best years ever. It is a kickoff to summer for car enthusiasts with a melting pot of cars from Camaros to Corvettes. There is something for everyone who is into the automotive lifestyle.” Croll’s Customs out of Temple, Pennsylvania, will debut the RWB Prince, a world-famous Porsche, at the show. The car received a complete color change to lime green within a threeand-a-half-week period prior to being modified by Akira Nakai. “We are honored to have handled the paint and bodywork on such a prestigious international Porsche build,” Josh Croll said via email. “A timeless German icon built in Pennsylvania with Japanese flare.” Andrew Lee, who was diagnosed with an incurable kidney cancer last year, is bringing his Driven to Cure GTR with “F Cancr” plates, which received recent modifications from the Auto Performance Aesthetics Centre or APAC, out of Linthicum Heights, Maryland. “The paint was still drying on Saturday,” Hoffman said. “Andrew wanted to raise awareness and funds to find a cure with this car. It is very noble for him at his age to turn this into something bigger.” At the Ocean City Car and Truck Show, Lee will debut his car, with modifications from APAC including a molded body kit, a unique one-of-akind orange paint job for kidney cancer awareness, an air lift suspension and custom fit of new wheels. “They [APAC] have been awesome and brought the vision to life,” Lee said. The car show is for the whole family with numerous activities for Senior Week visitors and younger children. “We are going on 15 years of bringing family entertainment [to the resort] in June,” Hoffman said. “We have focused on the cars being the stars.” A kid’s zone will include activities such as sheets of vehicle silhouettes for children to color in, designing their See ACTIVITIES Page 46

Lee set to debut Driven to Cure GTR at car show
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) During the Ocean City Car and Truck Show this weekend, Andrew Lee, who was diagnosed with an incurable, rare kidney cancer last year, will debut his Driven to Cure GTR with “F Cancr” plates, which received modifications from the Auto Performance Aesthetics Centre or APAC, out of Linthicum Heights, Maryland. “This is my first time going to the OC Car Show and its going to be such a fun experience,” Lee said. “I wanted a more enjoyable way to spend my time with the car and I came up with Driven to Cure, which allows me to take the GTR to shows while raising awareness for kidney cancer.” After completing his first year of college last May, Lee was diagnosed with a rare and incurable kidney cancer known as HLRCC. During the summer, his father asked what his life goals were and they decided to take home his dream car, a GTR, from a Nissan dealership in Silver Spring, Maryland. Once school started back up again in the fall, Lee was overwhelmed with a full course load of work and started to think of ways to combine his two passions – cars and cancer awareness – which is when his nonprofit, Driven to Cure, came to fruition. “He is so positive and wants to live a normal life,” said Bruce Lee, Andrew’s father. “It has been really neat watching my son put this together. Andrew is all about awareness and helping others since the moment he was diagnosed. It has been mind blowing how everything has fallen into place. It was meant to be and really cool.” After attending local car shows, answering questions and creating friendships with people from all different backgrounds, the 20-year-old realized he can make a difference with his dream car. Driven to Cure was created for the sole purpose of raising money and awareness to help find a cure

In addition to the recent modifications, the Driven to Cure GTR was given an interior makeover and an increase in horsepower. “It’s very fortunate he found these great people in the car world,” Bruce Lee said. “People have been bending over backward and it will be fun to see the car featured in the show.” For more information or to donate, visit www.driventocure.org.

Outside the convention center, a dyno showcase will show off horsepower and there will be dozens of car clubs and vendors selling products and apparel. “We listened this year to kids, vendors and participants to see what they want out of the show to make it the best it can be,” Hoffman said. “It takes almost a year to plan and make everything come together.” Dozens of clubs will be showcasing their custom rides and generally park near one another in order to discuss and learn more about the vehicles they drive. “We are super excited for our 15th year,” Hoffman said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.” The OC Car and Truck Show will take place rain or shine, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the 40th Street convention center.

Simple registration process to get married on OC beach By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) From the wedding cake to bridesmaid dresses, hundreds of details in planning a wedding need to be micromanaged. But thanks to Ocean City’s simple registration process, booking a beach location is not one of them. “It’s a very casual process, which is in line with how beach weddings usually are,” said Jennifer Morris, Mayor Rick Meehan’s assistant. She often issues applications for beach ceremonies to engaged couples. “It’s a short, simple form and there’s not much of a wait time for approval,” she said. The wedding notification form is only one page long. It includes easy personal questions, like the bride and groom’s names and contact information. The couple is also required to include where the ceremony will be held, its date and the number of guests invited. Applicants will need to provide an officiant, since the resort has no municipal officials who are empowered to preside over such ceremonies. To save time, the city wedding form also includes the names and numbers of eight services that can provide someone to conduct a beach weddings ceremony. Big or small weddings are welcome on Ocean City’s beach. “If it’s a big wedding, all we ask is that the wedding party needs to be aware of the parking situation and to plan ahead for it,” Morris said. The relaxed nature of planning for a beach wedding also carries on behind the scenes. All the city staff does is alert the Ocean City Police Department and Beach Patrol that there will be a ceremony at a certain day. “Typically, people opt for ceremonies when beach patrol will finish their rounds, and that’s usually around 5:30 or 6 p.m.” Morris said. “There’s other who do it before 6 a.m. They find a sunrise ceremony very beautiful.” Engaged couples do not need to fill out a private event application for the beach ceremony. However, special
events do supersede any ceremony, so future newlyweds are encouraged to check the city’s calendar before setting a date. The process is slightly different if the bride and groom want to get married on the Boardwalk, according to officials. “Since the Boardwalk comes to South Atlantic Avenue, it’s considered a highway,” said Special Event Superintendent Frank Miller. “You would need to go through a private event form and need the approval of the City Council.” Wedding receptions are prohibited on the beach and the Boardwalk. “We have seen a handful of requests, but since no alcohol is allowed on the beach, the couple decides to change [the reception’s] venue. None have made it to City Council,” Miller said. Of course, engaged couples are required to obtain a marriage license from the Clerk of the Court’s Office in Snow Hill. That process is more involved than just completing a form. Applicants must show a driver’s license or a birth certificate and have their Social Security numbers on hand. If an applicant is divorced or a widower, the clerk will need further documentation. The couple must also wait until after 6 a.m. on the second calendar day after applying for a Worcester County marriage license before they can be married. The license costs $35. Despite the county paperwork, the resort’s 10-miles of sand is still a top location for hundreds of destination weddings. The Ocean City tourism website, ococean.com, has an entire segment devoted to it, including a space where couples can share their experiences. “There’s something about an ocean backdrop that appeals to couples,” said Tourism Director Donna Abbott. “I believe the last I heard, we had about 300 weddings a year on the beach.” To apply for a beach wedding ceremony, contact the mayor’s office at 410-289-8931. The application can also be found on the city government’s website, oceancitymd.gov.

In a room packed with family, friends and loved ones, 294 seniors receive their diplomas after graduating from Stephen Decatur High School, Wednesday, June 1, at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street.
Nearly 300 graduate from Stephen Decatur
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) In a room packed with family, friends and loved ones, 294 seniors received their diplomas after graduating from Stephen Decatur High School Wednesday, June 1, at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street. Class President Alexandria Buchheim delivered a farewell address during the ceremony, praising the class of 2016 for their passion, dedication and teamwork in addition to encouraging fellow classmates to
cherish Seahawk memories, take chances and to follow their true paths even when it gets rough. After thanking staff, parents, families and fellow class officers, she stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Undoubtedly, the best class in Stephen Decatur history is the class of 2016.â&#x20AC;? The Worcester County Board of Education uses a three-tiered senior recognition program where each student receives a cumulative weighted GPA, which is calculated at the end of the third marking period in English, math, social studies, science, world
languages and Advanced Placement courses. Students who earned a 5.05 GPA or higher received Summa Cum Laude honors, those receiving a 4.95.04 GPA earned Magna Cum Laude accolades and those earning a 4.84.89 GPA received Cum Laude distinction. All honorees stood for recognition during the commencement ceremony. Of the graduates, 156 (53 percent) will attend four-year colleges or universities and 87 (30 percent) will head to two-year schools. Three stu-
dents (1 percent) will study at trade and technical schools, 42 (13 percent) will go into the workforce and 10 (3 percent) are heading to the military. The top choice college for Decatur graduates was Wor-Wic, with 77 enrolling this year and another 34 will stay close to study at Salisbury University. University of Maryland Eastern Shore will welcome 16 Decatur graduates in the fall and nine students are heading to Towson University. The class of 2016 received more See WOR-WIC Page 56

Prom court representatives from eight local restaurants gather for a picture at the West Ocean City Hooters on Monday night to celebrate their fundraiser kickoff party. KARA HALLISSEY/ OCEAN CITY TODAY
BIT Prom Night kickoff introduces participants
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 10, 2016) Members of the Believe in Tomorrow organization, prom court representatives from local restaurants, friends and family gathered at the West Ocean City Hooters on Monday night to celebrate their fundraiser kickoff party. The event took place a couple months earlier than usual to give the eight area restaurants battling to raise the most money more time before the fourth annual Prom Night on Feb. 11, 2017 at Hooters. “I appreciate everyone participating and they are all wonderful people,” said Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Beach Respite Housing Program. “Without Prom Night, I would have never gotten to meet these amazing people and that is why I love this event.” The nominees this year are: West Ocean City Hooters, Touch of Italy, 28th Street Pit and Pub, Hammerheads on the Beach, Pickles Pub, Outback Steakhouse, the Original Greene Turtle and Taylor’s Neighborhood Restaurant in Ocean Pines. West Ocean City Hooters: Jenny Lauman, a manager at Hooters, met Littleton seven years ago while hosting family dinners for Believe in Tomorrow visitors at the restaurant. “After seeing the hard work and dedication that he and his volunteers put into Believe in Tomorrow it makes us want to do countless events every year for them and we wish we could do more,” she said. At least one representative from Hooters has been on the prom court since it started and they have hosted the event each year. “We do anything for Believe in Tomorrow,” Lauman said. “It’s one of the charities we love to raise money for.” Look forward to guest bartending nights, silent auctions, raffles and private events at the restaurant. “We have some tricks up our
sleeve that will surprise everybody,” Lauman said. “We look forward to hosting Prom Night and I think it will be interesting to see business versus business.” Touch of Italy: Larry Pack, an owner of Touch of Italy on 67th Street, prides the restaurant on having an open checkbook for local charities. “Our participation is 365 days a year,” Pack said. “We are next door neighbors to the house [Believe in Tomorrow] and we try to provide something special for the guests.” The last two years, Touch of Italy has helped host and provide food for Believe in Tomorrow’s annual gala. “It’s personal. I look out the door and see the families come in,” Pack said. “We don’t normally serve French fries, but we keep them there [at the restaurant] for the kids, to see faces light up. We treat people like they are in our living room and it’s personal they leave with a smile.” 28th Street Pit and Pub: The 28th Street Pit and Pub will be kicking off fundraising efforts next Wednesday with a free pancake breakfast from 9-11 a.m. Drinks are not included. Free pancake breakfasts will also take place July 20 and Aug. 17. “We wanted to do something during the summer to get the ball rolling,” said owner Steve “Chief” Hoffman. “We hope people stop by and donate to a great cause.” Hoffman has worked in the area for almost 30 years and wanted to give back to the community. “My husband was honored to be asked to participate,” Jennifer Hoffman said. “He has known Wayne a long time and is glad to support such a great cause.” In addition to the breakfast deal, 28th Street Pit and Pub plans to have guest bartenders to raise money. “Believe in Tomorrow allows kids to forget about their illness for a short period of time and enjoy a vacation with their families,” Hoffman said. Hammerheads on the Beach:
Hammerheads on the Beach, located between Ninth and 10th Street on the Boardwalk, has been involved with Believe in Tomorrow for several years and owner Danny Robinson had a great experience running for prom king two years ago. “It is a cause to believe in and I am honored to be a part of,” Robinson said. “I wanted to get the rest of my employees involved so they could see firsthand what Believe in Tomorrow does for families.” Robinson encourages community members to get involved, but warns they will “want to be a part of it for the rest of their life.” “You get to witness the efforts of your fundraising and events with it being a local charity,” Robinson said. “We take for granted this great beach life and it is nice to share with families who aren’t as fortunate to enjoy it like we do.” Pickles Pub: Representatives from Pickles Pub are carrying on with the previous owner, Danny Robinson’s, tradition of raising money for Believe in Tomorrow. “We all have kids and love kids,” said Brittney Acita, owner of Pickles Pub along with her husband, Justin. “It is an awesome concept. Anything to take stress off the families.” On June 29, Pickles Pub on Eighth Street, will host Pineapple Palooza where attendees can try out a smorgasbord of pineapple flavored beers from local breweries. “Many have exclusive beers out just for the event,” Justin Acita said. For $20 in advance or $25 at the door, participants can try all featured beers and receive a free hat. All funds will be donated to Believe in Tomorrow including a portion of bar sales, and entertainment will be provided by Kaleb Brown. The event takes place from 2-6 p.m. with $4 drafts and happy hour food. In addition, Pickles Pub plans to have a breakfast with Santa event, Pubkin’ Chunkin’ and a Fourth of July performance from Pasadena to
raise funds. Guest bartending at Burley Oak is in the works and an ongoing raffle of a signed Ravens helmet will keep fundraising efforts continuous until February. “I think its awesome families get to come down for a stress-free week and experience our town,” Acita said. “We are really excited to be a part of this and it is great to give back to others.” Outback Steakhouse: Teron Lewis, owner of Outback Steakhouse in West Ocean City, has participated in Believe in Tomorrow events at Seacrets in the past. “It is a great organization for children and Wayne does a great job,” Lewis said. “What Wayne and Believe in Tomorrow does is amazing.” The Original Greene Turtle: Dawn Hodge, marketing and office manager for the Original Greene Turtle, is heavily involved in the American Cancer Society and asked, “Who is more touched then families who have a child with cancer?” The restaurant on 116th Street plans to have Sunday jam sessions and Olympic-style games to raise money. “It is a nice family gateway to Ocean City,” Hodge said. “The volunteers put in so much work to make Ocean City a happy place for families to visit.” The Greene Turtle hosts events and raises money for Believe in Tomorrow in memory of Scunny McCusker, a doorman for the restaurant in the 1980s and a huge advocate for Believe in Tomorrow, Hodge said. Taylor’s Neighborhood Restaurant: Taylor’s Neighborhood Restaurant in Ocean Pines has put together a committee to get events rolling this summer. “Wayne approached us and we are more than happy to participate,” said owner Craig Davis. “It is a great opportunity to help kids and put money in the fund so they can continue to enjoy Ocean City and the surrounding areas.” See TWO Page 60

ON GUARD
OCBP urges graduates to be ‘beach smart’ while visiting By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (June 10, 2016) This might come as a surprise to you, but one of the most important skills a lifeguard uses is the scan. They are constantly scanning their area and the water in front of them for signs of danger. Their area includes a 360-degree area around their stand, not only in the front but also in the back to the dune line. This is the time of the year when trouble could be festering behind their stands. It’s what some refer to as the “June Bugs.” It’s a tradition thousands of graduates participate in each year; the trek to Ocean City to enjoy their new-found freedom. I did it as a graduate, my children did it and this year my nephews are participating. The typical graduates are full of confidence, and feel immune to any dangers, they sometimes allow the excitement of the atmosphere to impede their judgment enough to get them into trouble. When we get a warm sunny day, the water temperatures are inviting. If you add a town full of celebrating graduates
to the mix, the lifeguards have their work cut out for them. At no other time of year do we see more teenagers chase each other down the beach and into the ocean only to end up diving into shallow water. The more experienced among them dive shallow and usually do not suffer any consequences of this risky behavior. The less fortunate will spend the rest of their vacation trying to explain the scabs on their forehead and nose. The really unfortunate will not be able to run or dive, ever again. While beach patrol members respond to spinal injuries every year, none are more tragic than those that occur when young people are injured from diving into shallow water. It is not their age so much, but the fact that these injuries are so preventable that makes them particularly tragic. Beach patrol “Rule Number One” is: “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand.” Rule Number Two is: “Check the water depth with your feet, not your head.” Our ocean water is not as clear as pool water, and we don’t have the depth printed along the edge in big black numbers like it is at the local swim club.

Two additional restaurants sought for BIT prom court Continued from Page 58 Littleton is still looking to add two additional restaurants to the lineup. “Every bit of money raised from this court is going to the new beach cottage on 65th Street,” Littleton said. “A special thanks to Angie Ortt and Jenny Lauman. If it wasn’t for them, we might not have this event.” The Believe in Tomorrow facility on 66th Street is open year-round to provide a free getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness. Fundraisers such as Prom Night help raise money to provide these essential week-long excursions. Families will have another location to escape the stresses of everyday life on 65th Street in the near future,
which is just a few steps away from the back balcony of the 66th Street property. The new location will serve military pediatric families, larger families that may require the assistance of medical support or extended family support because of their child’s illness and end-of-life circumstances, where the inclusion of grandparents, aunts, uncles and special friends will be implemented. To purchase tickets for Believe in Tomorrow’s Prom Night, slated for Feb. 11 at Hooters in West Ocean City, contact Littleton at 800-9339470 or email wlittleton@believeintomorrow.org.

ON GUARD
Take responsibility for actions Continued from Page 59 While lifeguards try to stop accidents before they happen, even whistle blasts sometimes don’t catch the attention of those who are horsing around and chasing each other. Surf rescue technicians are often left cringing in their stands, hoping that those who just dove into the foot-deep water will pop up unscathed. This is usually followed by what we call an impromptu beach safety presentation (EDU – the semaphore abbreviation for education) as the closest lifeguard explains the dangers of their actions. While 40 percent of spinal injuries occurring in the surf are caused by people diving into shallow water, the majority result from body surfers and body boarders riding waves that are breaking too close to shore. We encourage people to keep their arms stretched out in front of them when body surfing, and to avoid riding waves that are breaking close to the sandbar or beach. We hope that everyone who visits our beach will enjoy many happy, healthy returns. The Ocean City Beach Patrol has worked with trauma doctors to develop a specialized technique to manage suspected head, neck and back injuries. Although every surf rescue technician is trained and skilled in the use of these techniques, it is far better for our beach patrons to have injuries prevented
rather than treated. Taking responsibility for your own actions and spreading the caution about spinal cord injuries is the greatest form of prevention we have. Many people just do not realize that wet sand is just as unyielding as concrete and that it is the bones of the spinal column that cause the damage and possible paralysis that results from the impact of your head, neck or back with the beach. Most people would never think of attempting a flip in the middle of a parking lot for fear of striking the ground. However, many of these same individuals will attempt these aerial maneuvers on the beach or into a few inches of ocean water, with the all too often result, of witnessing our spinal injury management technique first hand. Please, use your head to protect your spine and think before diving or riding breaking waves into the beach. Have fun but remain safe. An additional factor that has a major influence on risky behavior both on the beach and throughout Ocean City is the addition of alcohol to celebrating teenagers. These recent graduates have worked there entire school careers to achieve this new found freedom, and we do not want that freedom to end in Ocean City. Graduates, remember to “Play it Safe!”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Use herbs for lavender ice cream, goat cheese spread By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (June 10, 2016) Herbs are amazingly versatile and present a collection of creativeness for entertaining. The benefit is almost without limit as they offer a wealth of different flavors, textures and colors that can be used to transform a variety of dishes. There is much to discuss, so let’s get started. I am a firm believer in embellishing one’s table with fresh herbs, flowers and produce. Bouquet garni bunches are an easy, delectable way to add zest to soups, sauces and casseroles; but they also make wonderful name tags for place settings and add to the overall sensorial experience. A classic bouquet garni contains thyme, bay leaves and parsley. But other herbs can be used. Combine herbs of one’s choice and tie the herbs together at the base with a string. Attach a festive name tag with the guest’s name on it. Do not forget to provide a small, decorative bag for your guests to take their bouquet garni home. Herbs come into their own and stand out when paired with soft textures and mild flavors. Goat cheese makes a lovely spread for crackers or warm crusty bread when rolled in a combination of fresh herbs, black sesame seeds and coarsely ground pepper. Whipped cream cheese can be substituted for goat cheese and is much more affordable. A seasoned host always has a few simple recipes that can be made on the spur of the moment. The following recipe falls into this category. Simply mold goat cheese into the shape you desire, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate. In the meantime, chop assorted herbs such as purple basil, tarragon and water-
cress; the choice is up to the individual chef. Place chopped herbs on a plate and add kosher salt, black and white sesame seeds, a touch of garlic and onion powder, and coarsely ground black pepper. Mix all the herbs and spices together. Remove plastic wrap from refrigerated cheese and roll it in the herb mixture until well coated. Wrap in plastic wrap again and refrigerate until ready to serve. Glorious sunshine is in full control and menu planning must reflect the warmer temperatures. Cooking with herbs is fitting for the summer months and offers a feast for the senses. Even a simple salad should be a breathtaking mixture of ingredients that sing in harmony. Gorgeous lettuce salads are expected but consider a delightful dish of melon topped with honey-mint dressing that is decorated with violet flowers. The components of this recipe easily lend themselves to be a perfect selection for brunches, appetizers, palate cleansers between courses, and even desserts. The recipe follows: 2 tablespoons honey 2/3 cup water 1 sprig mint 1 sprig lemon verbena 2/3 cup apple juice 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped purple basil 2 small cantaloupes or honeydew edible violate flowers as a garnish Gently heat the honey in the water until it dissolves. Bring to a boil, add mint and lemon verbena, and simmer about 10 minutes. Cool, and remove sprigs of herbs. Combine liquid with apple and lemon juice and chopped basil. Cut melons into slices according to the occasion and pour dressing over each piece. Decorate with chopped and whole violet flowers. School is out and vacations are underway. Warm weather equates lighter fare and lemon and fresh herb See TOP Page 65

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Top melon with honey-mint dressing work channel. I am fascinated how the chefs have to make a dish out of ingredients that do not make any sense. In addition, there is little time for preparation, and they are cooking in a kitchen that is unfamiliar to them. Making ice cream is always a challenge, and the unusual ingredients take it to another level. Lavender honey ice cream is an example of what one might consider making for the dessert round of “Chopped” and coincides with the theme of the day. The ice cream is best when it is made with, miel de lavande, a French lavender honey from Province, which is produced by bees that feed primarily on lavender blossoms, imparting a distinct floral flavor. Ingredients: 2 cups whole milk ¼ cup dried edible lavender flowers 1/3 cup miel de lavande or good quality honey 5 large eggs ¼ cup sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt In a medium saucepan, combine milk, lavender and honey. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let steep for 30 minutes. Pour milk mixture through a fine mesh, re-
serving milk, and discarding lavender. Combine egg yolks, sugar and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until very thick. This will only take a few minutes. Meanwhile, return milk mixture to a clean saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat. Slowly add half the milk to the egg mixture and whisk briskly until blended. Stir egg mixture back into remaining milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and stir in cream. Pour ice cream base into a bowl and set in an ice-bath until it cools. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for making ice cream. In summation, rediscover your culinary skills and add herbs to your list of ingredients. In addition to taste, herbs beautify any presentation and allow one’s artistic skills to flourish. You will be amazed and delighted as a whole new world blossoms right before your eyes. Enjoy!

No need to get your pen and paper out, the recipe is right here. 1/2 cup fine or medium bulgur 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves minced garlic 2 cups finely chopped flat leaf parsley 1/3 cup finely chopped mint ¼ cup finely chopped basil 3 tablespoons finely chopped dill 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro 2/3 cup diced red onion 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice kosher salt to taste The preparation is very easy and can be made in advance. Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Stir together the bulgur and 1 tablespoon of oil in a heatproof bowl. Add boiling water to cover. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain and press on the bulgur to remove any excess liquid. Transfer bulgur to a large bowl and toss with remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for five hours. This allows the flavors to come together. I am going to be trying out for the show “Chopped” on the Food Net-

Commentary
Do away with the campus rape label
The recent explosion of national coverage concerning the sentencing of a Stanford University student for his sexual assault of a female campus visitor makes obvious one mistake that most people fail to see. Whether the media, sociologists or counselors of one stripe or another created the term, there is no such thing as “campus rape” any more than there is “parking lot rape” or “beach rape.” Rape is rape. Either it happened or it didn’t, the “where” of the matter being mostly irrelevant except in extreme circumstances. By calling it “campus rape,” however, the suggestion is that the offense falls into a different category than the same types of assaults committed elsewhere. Undoubtedly, some people will conclude, because of this expression, that an attack on college grounds is less brutal than one that took place on less attractive premises. A good many people, after all, subscribe to the notion that both male and female students can get themselves in trouble as they experience that college party atmosphere for the first time in their young lives. Some even will suggest that boys will be boys and girls should be aware of that before putting themselves at risk. The victims in these cases would surely disagree. The campus rape label presumes, one might suppose, that the assaults there are the result of the atmosphere and circumstances created whenever thousands of boys and girls are thrown unsupervised into the great social mix. That trivializes the problem, as many women don’t report rapes on campus because they either fear that no one will believe them or they feel ashamed. Maybe if we didn’t try to categorize it as some kind of special situation and just called it what it is, reports would increase, incidents would go down and more perpetrators would be going to prison.

Evolution skips some
To all the people who don’t believe that the human race evolved from ape-like creatures, there’s good news: after cleaning up the grounds around the office, I have discovered proof that evolution skipped some people entirely. This would include the person or persons who left not one, but two fully loaded diapers like unexploded mortar rounds next to the steps. To clarify further, if one of those things went off, you would need more than one fan, if you get my meaning. Although the parents do By get points for doing a nice Stewart wrapping job, illustrating Dobson that even the lower species possess an amazing level of dexterity — see the PBS Nature episode on monkeys that crack nuts with rocks — the size of these lethal booboo bombs suggests that it may be time to get their 12-year-old off the nappies. At the very least, they should move him or her up to Pampers Cruisers before that critical first prom arrives. This assumes, of course, that this isn’t a family thing and that the whole crew isn’t similarly clothed because they have yet to conquer the intellectually baffling world of buttons and zippers. I should mention — and this is a telling point in my argument against the all-encompassing reach of evolution — that not one, not two, but three full-sized, fully operational Waste Wheeler trash containers sat not more than six feet away. The “miracle of birth,” indeed. Meanwhile, other items gleaned from the day’s pickings suggest that the non-evolution principle includes drinkers of light beer. Of the nine beer cans picked up within sight of
not one, not two but three trashcans, plus a city trash barrel, every stinking one of them was light beer. Not one honest beer among them, suggesting that this particular brand was chosen not because of its crisp, clean taste, or because it’s less filling, or because it’s cold-filtered or because it’s mountain spring refreshing, but because it had the fewest letters on the label. “Hmmmm. L – I –T – E. What’s that spell?” “Yeungling?” And finally, not counting the bags, wrappers and Styrofoam shrapnel, there were these: a pair of surgical gloves and tweezers. The word “disconcerting” comes to mind. It might have been that someone lent a helping hand to a seriously wee lad at a critical moment, as I wouldn’t want to think that minor surgery was taking place on the grounds after hours. On the other hand, certain aspects of this whole thing might be connected, given the evidence that some persons passing by had yet to enroll in the course of human development. “Urka! Drop diapers now! Me lose mind!” “Not worry, Durg. Get gloves, tweezers. Me find.” The other possibily is that this has nothing to do with the evolutionary process and that we are under seige by The Walking Dumb, who, unlike The Walking Dead, eat their own brains. This would explain a quite a bit about our present national circumstance. “Have you thought about the problems facing the nation today?” “No.” “Why not?” “Can’t. I ate my own brain.” “Why would you do that? “Tastes great, less filling.”
