FEMA fix going to take time And quite a bit of it, as city wrestles with bureaucracy over erroneous flood map
After initial concerns about whether they would appear, the U.S. Air Force’s precision flight demonstration team, the Thunderbirds, will scream overhead during the Ocean City Air Show this weekend. The Thunderbirds were grounded after
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Despite appearing on the radars of a number of elected officials, the expensive error on Ocean City’s flood zone map doesn’t appear to be headed toward resolution any time soon. Following several letters from Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Sen. Ben
Cardin and State Sen. Jim Mathias, Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) representatives have met with resort officials in person to see the properties afflicted by a mapping error that is costing property owners tens of thousands of dollars in flood insurance. “We got their attention,” said Planning and Zoning Director Bill Neville to the Planning and Zoning Commission Tuesday evening. “By having them come to the community, they were ac-
tually able to see the situation in a different way from looking at aerial photograph versus standing there.” Eight or nine FEMA representatives met with city staff after the resort’s representatives in Congress sent a letter to the agency Director Craig Fugate about incorrectly recording two dunes as a double-humped feature. This mistake erroneously places properties between 93rd See CITY Page 7
Police go for stronger power If a cop tells you to knock it off, you’ll have two choices: you can do it or face arrest
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) The Ocean City Police Commission has fast-tracked an ordinance that would grant police officers the power to penalize more severely civilians who ignore a direct order to cease and desist disruptive behavior. After studying the resort’s and Maryland’s laws
for a month, Capt. Kevin Kirstein proposed that the City Council create a new ordinance that would make it unlawful for people to continue unlawful or disruptive behavior after receiving first warning from the police. The wording of the proposed ordinance makes it “unlawful to fail to obey a police officer’s order to immediately cease and desist while committing any offense which is classified as a municipal infraction upon such order from a police officer.” See OCPD Page 10

Arbin draws fire following release of email Captain becomes bullseye after ‘Target’ note to staff forwarded to metro media
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (June 17, 2016) It may have been an error of perception rather than intent for Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin, after an email he sent to his staff and later forwarded to metro daily newspapers touched the nerves of advocates, pundits and at least one of his subordinates. Arbin, a member of the beach patrol for 40 years and captain for almost 20, sent a reminder to staff on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. apparently in response to a complaint that some male members of staff were using the restrooms marked for females. The email reads, “WE are NOT Target. USE the locker room that corresponds to your DNA. IN plain words Males use the Men’s locker room ONLY! Females use the Women’s locker room ONLY! If you’re NOT SURE go to Target.” The idea to use Target may have been a continuation of a conversation between Arbin and staff during a training session, according to a senior member of the Beach Patrol. Sgt. Colby Phillips, a Beach Patrol veteran of 23 years, said she was told in a meeting of sergeants and crew chiefs following the release of the email that the episode started among the rank and file in Arbin’s presence. She was not present at the time. “It was during a training program and everyone was waiting around. There are more men than women on the Beach Patrol,” Phillips said. She estimated of the 180 members of the patrol, only about 35 are female, which caused a backup in the restroom line. “All of these guys are standing around, and one of them made the joke, ‘I’m going to pretend I’m at Target,’” she said. While that statement didn’t generate any headlines, Arbin’s clarification did, as at least one member of Beach Patrol staff forwarded that

message on to other outlets. Even so, P a t r i c k Paschall, executive director of FreeState Legal, a legal advocacy organization Butch Arbin for the lowincome lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, still has three concerns over the content of Arbin’s response. “First, it violates the state’s policy set in 2014,” he said, referring to the Fairness For All Marylanders Act, which added ‘gender identity and expression’ to Maryland’s anti-discrimination act.
Paschall said Arbin’s contention that users determine restroom selection based upon DNA, and using his position as captain to set that as policy is inconsistent with state law. Second, Paschall said Arbin “made his point by making fun.” “It doesn’t matter if he’s aware, it may be he did it without being aware, even so it’s unacceptable in the workplace,” he said. Third, Paschall said Arbin’s response could have a chilling effect on potential future whistleblowers, and foments a “culture of transgender exclusivity” within the Beach Patrol. Paschall said he was impressed by Ocean City’s quick response, and by reinforcing that Arbin’s note was outside of established city policy. Arbin sent another message to staff on Tuesday.
“I received a call this morning from the Baltimore Sun about the below e-mail that was forwarded to them. This e-mail was only sent to current leadership of the patrol to make sure everyone understood that we have two locker room facilities and they are intended for changing of clothes and showering as well as bathroom facilities. We have other restrooms in the building which are unisex and are not gender specific. “I used humor to make the point. However, this is not the same issue that has been in the news. The males that have used the women’s locker room are not using out of necessity or because they are identifying as a woman, they are using it out of convenience and this was not the purpose in establishing two separate locker rooms in our new headquarSee BEACH Page 5

Performers already spot flaws in new lottery system Buskers turn on methods, each other after initial lots drawn for Boardwalk space
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Street performers crowded the City Hall community room, reclined in chairs, stood with Styrofoam cups in hand and filled the space with their chitchat, as they waited for the signal. “Anyone who requires a 10-by-10 space, that drawing is first,” City Clerk Diana Chavis said over the noise. Entertainers surged to the front of the room to toss their Boardwalk space lottery form into a large canvas tote basket sitting on a table. Since the Boardwalk performer
lottery system went into effect late April, this is how a typical Monday starts in City Hall. Around 9 p.m., performers filter in the room and fill out the simple form with their names and their artistic activity. At 9:30 sharp, the lottery begins for the 33 spaces, starting with 10-foot by 10foot blocks. When a name is called, a performer steps forward and looks at two maps: one for the weekdays spots and one for weekends. The city clerk checks to make sure the entertainer did not hold those spots a week earlier. Then Chavis records it for the city and writes it down on a form for the performer. Last Monday saw 22 performers register for spots. Of those, 14 spaces See STREET Page 6
Beach patrol captain issues apology after note goes viral Continued from Page 3 ters. I was ONLY looking out for the women of the patrol and was not attempting to put down any group or individual, only maintain a nice facility for the women who choose to use a gender specific facility,” Arbin wrote. Phillips remains stalwart in her support of Arbin. “This doesn’t define who he is. He’s protected thousands upon thousands of lives — when you’re in the water all you see is a person. We learned that from him. That this is now hanging over his head — it’s sad for me,” she said. An hour after his previous email this past Tuesday, Arbin sent another reinforcing his apology.
“My careless attempt at humor was inappropriate and in poor taste. I hope you will accept this heartfelt apology and allow us to move forward, with a positive and more tolerant attitude for each other, our colleagues, our residents and our guests,” he wrote. The resort was quick to distance itself from the controversy. “We are disappointed with his actions and in no way do his comments represent the Town of Ocean City or the official city policy. While I cannot discuss personnel matters in detail, I can assure you that we take this matter seriously and the situation will be addressed administratively,” Communications Manager Jessica Waters said.

Street entertainers still unhappy with process emotions, and what this does makes it difficult to perform,” said Bill Hassay, who plays the violin on the boards. He pointed out that by luck of the draw, he could compete with another musician next to him. Entertainers could also struggle to be heard over the ambient noise, from Trimper’s Rides on the Boardwalk and music blaring on restaurant speakers. Other entertainers viewed an early slot in the selection as an even bigger gamble. Artist Mike Moeller debated a while before settling on First Street for weekdays and Talbot for the weekend. “A spot may seem initially good, but if someone like Mark Chase ends up next to me, I rather not be next to stinky spray paint all day,” Moeller said. He said that the system does have
Continued from Page 5 were 100-square-feet in size. “That’s the most we’ve had so far. There was a more frustrated opinion here too,” said Deputy City Clerk Pamela Peters. Two months ago, the City Council adopted a lottery system after a yearlong discussion with officials and community members. After last summer’s first-proposed “first come, first serve” system incited people to camp out in front of City Hall for a better spot, the Boardwalk task force suggested a lottery system. The task force proposed the random system after speaking with entertainers and business owners, but the entertainers remain discontented with the policy. “It promotes disharmony. Music is painted on the backdrop of silence – it’s an art form that communicates

one edge over the first come, first serve system — consolidating weekend and weekday drawing in one selection process. But even then, Moeller is still against the lottery. “When it was first come, first serve, I felt like I had some control. I could hustle and get a spot. Now I have none,” he said. “Essentially, a lottery is fair, like when you flip a coin. Those odds are 50-50, but that’s over time. This is such small sample, only a few months and a few people could get bad picks over time. “If you’re one of the unlucky ones, it ruins your entire summer,” he added. The lottery is fair on the surface, but since it’s divided up into different space sizes – smaller spots are included in a second separate drawing – any act could increase its odds by just entering in the 10-foot by 10-

foot drawing. “The premise of the two lotteries was that those that require a large space would only submit for the 10by-10s, and that the performers would self-regulate as they often say they can do,” Chavis said. Since this is the lottery’s inaugural year, there’s still time for city staff and to study and correct its flaws. But so far, the lottery is having the intended effect the City Council wanted: minimizing congestion on the boards. “It might be best to have one lottery to have it fair,” Chavis said. “But that’s up to the task force or the City Council to decide.” Lottery drawings are held Monday mornings until Sept. 15. Performers can enter the building’s south entrance starting at 9 a.m., and the lottery starts at 9:30 a.m.

City: Keep flood insurance despite inflated premiums Continued from Page 1 and 123rd Streets in a high-risk zone on an online resource that insurance analysts use to determine coverage. Residents now are seeing their flood insurance rates skyrocket. The Rainbow condominium near 112th Street was quoted at a $460,000 premium. The best officials could say at this time is that some progress was made at that meeting between federal and city representatives. “We took them down and showed them a couple of different areas we felt was mapped incorrectly and correctly,” said city engineer Terry McGean. “They were able to see why we felt the flood line was mapped incorrectly, but they could not commit at that meeting that it could be corrected. Their conditions going ‘It really forward was the depends on letter of map reviwhat they sion process.” The City Coun- [FEMA] want.’ cil agreed to pay Terry McGean Hanson Flood Risk Consultants a retainer of $15,000 to complete the application last April. That process could take up to eight or nine months. In the meantime, conversations about the flood insurance rate map have continued. Last week, city staff held a conference call with FEMA officials, who then pointed the resort in the right direction. “FEMA told us that we can get more survey information about the flood line. The Corps (Army Corps of Engineers) has survey data that they use when they need to repair dunes for storms, but we need more information to expand to where the buildings are,” Neville said. At this time, it’s unclear how much of the time and money will go into filling in that missing gap of information. “It really depends on what they [FEMA] want,” McGean said. “If it’s a matter of [surveying] lines of every 50 feet, that’s something we’d have to spend a bit of money on. We’re going to present them with a sample we can provide and hopefully they can accept that. “We’re trying to get it fixed,” he added. “It’s a long, bureaucratic, frustrating process.” Meanwhile, property owners remain in limbo with their flood insurance. McGean advises that residents to continue with their flood insurance, even at the spiked rates. “They don’t want to lose that, and once we get the map resolved, there is a … process they can go through where they can get the difference between the high and low rates rebated to them. That’s the best they can do right now,” he said.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol has boats out on a daily basis and if there is a safety issue, the group gets involved. Last Saturday around 49th Street, a boat that was broken down was not a life-threatening issue, however it was drifting into the surf zone. That is when it became a safety issue and OCBP got involved. The Surf Rescue Technician on jet ski made the decision to pull the broken down boat away from shore to keep people in the surf zone safe.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Weeks after a man died from injuries sustained in a fight that allegedly began on a bus, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan on Wednesday suggested designating a police officer to ride the resort’s public transportation system. “What I was thinking that about is our buses — we are taking men off patrol and put them on the buses,” he said during this week’s Police Commission meeting. “In some areas, they have transit police. Is there a transit officer we could initiate as a seasonal officer that might not require the degree of training?” As part of the city’s “Bus Cop” program, several undercover and uniformed officers ride the buses at the peak of the summer season to provide for drivers’ safety. Ocean City police also handle incidents of disorderly conduct, malicious destruction of property and assaults while riding from the inlet to the Delaware line. The resort’s “Spot the Cop” ad awareness campaign, which is entering its second year, also had a small
hand in driving down the calls for services. Then, however, came the death of Ryan M. Shupert of Lutherville, Maryland, who succumbed to injuries sustained during a street brawl on May 29. Shupert allegedly had an argument with four men on a municipal bus before the fight took place around 139th Street.
‘There were concerns about the exact type of person who would be in that position and whether they would be armed or unarmed’ Councilman Doug Cymek To add more security, Ocean City will install five or six high-resolution cameras inside and outside the 40foot standard buses, and eight or nine cameras for each of the two new articulating buses in the future. Meehan reiterated the city should look into expanding its resources for safety on the transit system, rather than reallocating them. “When we look at the situation that we’re in, we may have to look for alternatives. It’s quite a challenge for some of the bus drivers, and the department has done a great job in assisting them, but maybe there’s a way that would work with seasonal offi-
cers. Maybe it’s somewhere from an officer to PSAs [public safety aides], I don’t know,” Meehan said. The Police Commission had discussed transit police at a previous meeting, and issues about training the officer came to the surface. “There were concerns about the exact type of person who would be in that position and whether they would be armed or unarmed,” Councilman Doug Cymek said. Seasonal candidates have to pass the same test as full-time OCPD officers, including a background check and a physical exam that includes a 220-yard run and a body drag exercise. The stricter qualifications for seasonal officers have seen a drop-off in applicant numbers. In the past, Ocean City did have a transit enforcement unit that focused solely on the resort’s buses but that ended because of a lack of funding in the budget. “It was very nice when we could afford to do that and it’s a discussion that we need to have again,” said Capt. Kevin Kirstein. The commission was open to the idea and floated several ideas, including applying for a special officer position from Gov. Larry Hogan. “As the times change, you have to come together and think of new ways to address the issues,” Meehan said.

Ocean City gains acceptance into Maryland Green Registry Program provides technical, informational support to make resort sustainable
(June 17, 2016) The Town of Ocean City is actively working on the Sustainable Maryland Certified application. Sustainable Maryland is a certification program for municipalities in Maryland that want to go green, save money and take steps to sustain their quality of life. The town will be submitting its application this month and will hear back, if accepted, by fall 2016. One of the steps that earn points for the town is to join the Maryland Green Registry.

“We felt that we should lead by example and join,” she added. “It is hoped that the publicity can be used to market the program to all businesses in the town.” Joining the Maryland Green Registry includes simple application process, and it is free to join the program. In order to join, applicants are required to implement and share information on at least five environmental practices with one quantifiable. The information on the program is located at http://mde.maryland.gov/marylandgreen/Pages/JoinHere.aspx Benefits of the program include the posting of your environmental profile, as approved by you, on the Maryland Green Registry website, use of the Maryland Green Registry logo on promotional materials, Maryland Green Registry window decals to display at your facility, free technical and informational assistance to help you implement environmental best practices, information about upcoming webinars and conferences, annual contests, access to the Maryland Green Registry group on LinkedIn and eligibility for annual Maryland Green Registry Leadership Awards.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) With senior week festivities in full swing, how are bus drivers and other passengers faring during the annual influx of recent graduates? During his evening shift last Saturday, Ocean City bus driver Ned Ensminger gave his perspective from the drivers seat. Now in his second season behind the wheel, he said thus far this year he has heard more stories but witnessed fewer incidents than he did last summer. “On the radio and so forth I hear the fights on the buses and other drivers calling for PD (police) to assist,” he said. “Myself, I haven’t had a problem.” As the retired chief of the Mount Joy Borough Police department in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Ensminger said the energized teenagers are less daunting than many of the subjects he’s had to arrest. “The kids I drive around are here to have a good time,” he said. “We try to let them have a good time as long as they’re not destroying anything.” To his pleasant surprise, Ens-

minger said the majority of this year’s senior week revelers have been pleasant. “This year I’ve found them to be more polite to me than the ones last year,” he said. “It really shocks me from this generation to get ‘thank you sir.’” Not all drivers have been as fortunate as Ensminger. “I’ve been told that we’ve had six buses vandalized with windows broken,” he said. “Last year, I had a window punched out while I was at a stop at Seacrets.” As he pulled up to the bus stop by Seacrets, Ensmiger said he witnessed a young man beating up a woman, while the brawler’s acquaintances attempted to break up the scuffle. “His buddies got him off of her and she got on the bus with a bunch of her friends,” he said. “He tried to get on the bus and I wouldn’t let him on, so he punched out my window. The PD got him down the street about two blocks.” While physical altercations between opposite sexes aren’t the norm, Ensminger said he has witnessed numerous fights, although it is often a thin line between love and hate. “It goes from that to a guy and a girl sitting right there and making out,” he said. “Of course, you have the intoxicated females who want to hug you and kiss you, ‘You’re my favoritist bus driver ever.’” Obviously drunken folly is not exclusive to youth, as Ensminger learned from a married female passenger he estimated to be in her late 30s. “She comes up and she’s hugging me and I know her husband’s standing right there,” he said. “She’s hugging me and kissing me and stuff. She finally gets off and her husband comes up and says, ‘I’m really, really sorry.’” Although a few years removed from senior week festivities, bus rider James Gates, 20, from Lebanon, Pennsylvania, said he appreciated the opportunity to socialize while using mass transit and feels the town provides a lenient environment. “They know you’re drunk, they know you’re probably high, as long as you’re not causing a ruckus, be on your way,” he said. “You’re here for senior week, you just graduated high school, you need to be somewhat of an adult.” Another senior week veteran, Lexxus Shaffer, 21, from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, said it’s obvious it’s that time of year. “Yesterday, there were just drunk kids all over the place,” she said. “You call it the drunk bus. It literally is the drunk bus.” She recalled joining her peer group in Ocean City for a week of fun after graduating high school. “Some thing’s never change,” she said. “I like to think maybe I wasn’t that bad, but let’s be honest.” Although only a few years re-

moved, Shaffer marvels at the revealing clothing favored by some youth. “I’m like, ‘Wow, did I look like that?’” she asked. Just a day earlier, Shaffer was shocked to watch someone assaulted with a stun gun. “I was standing at the bus stop and somebody got Tased,” she said. “Like who does that? It wasn’t a cop; it was just some person.” A potentially scarier scenario almost transpired that same day, Shaffer said. “Yesterday, I was on the bus and some girl walked out in front of the bus and didn’t even see the bus until it was like literally a few feet from her,” she said. “People don’t pay attention.” International college student Manisha Adhikari, 20, from Nepal, said the seniors are generally loud, drunk and obnoxious, and it gets worse as the hour grows later. “It sucks traveling by the bus at nighttime,” she said. In town for the Sand Duels Beach Soccer Challenge, Melissa Koebrugge, from Pasadena, was an image of serenity as her three-year-old daughter napped in her lap while the wheels on the bus turned ‘round. She said her family hesitated to visit the beach during early June, but their overall experience has been positive. “I was nervous coming down here, but it really hasn’t been too bad,” she said. “When you throw in an event like sand and soccer, it mixes it up and you don’t have all these teenagers.” Offering words of caution, Shaffer said she worries that many people feel invincible in their youth. “Growing up and seeing the dangers that can happen, I think these kids don’t take it as seriously, or take their lives, as seriously as maybe they should,” she said.

Public Works Campus plan makes headway City staff meet with state officials to discuss ideas about blueprints, funding
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) It’s a slow process to rebuild a new transportation campus to house, fuel and wash Ocean City’s 40-foot-long buses and city officials are picking up speed. Public Works Director Hal Adkins and several city staff members met with Maryland Transit Administration officials and contractor Whitman, Requardt & Associates on June 3 to review the resort’s plan for a new Public Works Campus at 65th Street. “The meeting went very well, and there was nothing that the MTA
said ‘we can’t afford this project, and we don’t agree with the scope of this,’” Adkins said during Tuesday’s Transportation Commission meeting. “Actually, they went into the direction of wanting assurance that we’re building this into the year 2030.” The Public Works Campus, which sits behind the Public Safety building, houses several pieces of equipment, including 40-foot buses and the new 60-foot articulating buses and hundreds of employees. The current facility has 13 bays for buses, and was built during a time when city’s transit system consisted of 27-foot school buses. Ultimately, the plan is to demolish the standing bus barn and build a better one. According to MTA meeting minutes, the new facility
will house 69 buses of both sizes and two fuel islands, with one for transit buses and one for other types of city vehicles. A freestanding bus wash would also be relocated in the fuel depot area. Other plans include modifying the administration building, reconfiguring a portion of the warehouse and purchasing and a parking facility. A study conducted in 2013 estimated the cost of the project at $17.5 million. Of that total, $9.1 million would be transit-related and therefore eligible to be 90 percent funded by the MTA. The state is already funding the $1.25 million in design work for the project. “They were concerned about a cash-flow analysis from a funding standpoint of what phases would be done in what years, and at what val-

ues, so we were asked to put a construction cost summary together,” Adkins said. Since the MTA typically offers a 90-10 split with Ocean City, local officials questioned if the current land value could be assigned some value in their financial obligation. Ocean City bought the land under the bus barn in 1981, when the facility was starting its initial planning phase. “Beth [Kreider, the MTA’s director of Locally Operated Transit Systems] wanted to go back and see how they handled this in the past,” Adkins said. He also pointed out that in the past the agency did include land purchases in the cost before. “For example, Shore Transit just did a multi-million-dollar project near Wor-Wic on the other side of the highway, and the land purchase was built into the $14 million dollar project. Well, there’s your answer,” he said. The only other concern was about the medical evacuation helipad on the structure. While the MTA supports the idea, the agency wanted assurance that the effects of a landing helicopter would not need to upgrade the structure. “We would have to pay for those adjustments, but the reality is that it does not change the structure’s components, so that’s a non-issue,” Adkins said. Despite these hurdles, other officials said that the MTA was on board with the plan so far. “I got the feeling of excitement,” said Wayne Pryor, the interim transit manager. “They’re coming to us saying, ‘did you think about this or this?’” The next step in finalizing the transportation campus plan is to get the secretary of Maryland Department of Transportation on the same page as the city. Adkins said that meeting will happen sometime before August. Ocean City officials anticipate presenting the full campus plan before the mayor and City Council on July 12.

JUNE 17, 2016
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) The Ocean City Lions Club, which began providing financial and material assistance for wounded veterans in overseas military hospitals in 2003, is revamping its focus stateside as Middle East battlefield injuries continue to dwindle. OC Lions Club Member Ben Dawson, who helped found the United States Forces Overseas Casualty Assistance Program (USFOCAP), spoke about the group’s past efforts and upcoming pursuits. He said the idea germinated during a conversation with a nurse at Ramstein Air Base in Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany. “She was talking about how when those troops come in from Afghanistan and Iraq they have nothing more than the clothes on their back, which is hospital pajamas,” he said. “Their clothing or gear rarely caught up with them. Their pay, at that time, wasn’t really catching up with them.” Dawson said soldiers who require more than a “Band-Aid fix” are gen-

erally sent to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. After receiving treatment, those with debilitating wounds would usually return in brief order to the U.S., Dawson said, while others with less severe trauma would spend time recuperating before returning for active duty. “We just thought maybe it would be a good spot for us to do a project, raise some money to send over to the hospital in Landstuhl and let them use it however they could to support our troops,” he said. A l t h o u g h ‘Those troops come Dawson said in from Afghanistan the Lions and Iraq they have Club recog- nothing more than nized the most severely the clothes on their back, which is wounded, often am- hospital pajamas’ putees, would OC Lions Club spend miniMember Ben mal time in Dawson Landstuhl before returning home, others lingered in the facility. “There was a lot of other wounded service people that stayed around there for a while continuing treatment and then perhaps back to duty,” he said. “Those were the ones that needed help, and the help came in all forms.” After the second year of helping raise money for the assistance program, Damson traveled to Landstuhl with fellow committee member Norm Cathell to present a $10,000 check to the hospital commander and the chief chaplain. “From that point on, we said let’s try to raise more than the $10,000, so we started our golf tournament,” he said. Starting in 2006, the Lions Club began the USFOCAP Golf Tournament, which is scheduled for November this year. Now in its 11th year, the annual charitable has raised a significant sum, all of which benefits military members. “We started raising more funds, so the bottom line is after about 10 years, we sent or took almost $300,000 over to the hospital at

‘Some of these people that we plan to go to are people that may have been in the Korean War, or just veterans that are down on their luck, they need some help and there’s a ton of them out there’ OC Lions Club Member Ben Dawson Landstuhl for our wounded troops, plus 19,000 articles of new clothing,” he said. “We got the clothing from different businesses here in this area. Some of the T-shirt shops donated things to us, and Wal-Mart donated a ton of things.” Besides assisting with essential needs such as clothing, Dawson said the program funds also helped raise spirits. “The chaplain was putting together programs for these troops that had to stay around for some sort of rehab before they went back to duty,” he said. “They would provide tours of German castles, anything within a 50-mile radius of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.” For now, Dawson said the Lions Club will redirect its resources stateside but the situation remains fluid. “They’re not getting very many, if any at all, wounded troops coming out of the Middle East,” he said. “Every now and then we do have a few, but there’s just not that many engaged in the fighting over there. Hopefully that won’t change, but it looks like it may.” In addition to providing financial support to Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and the Walter Reed Army
Military Institute, Dawson said the Lions Club is targeting local nonprofits working on behalf of military members. “I’ve got a meeting coming up with the Lower Shore Veterans Organization to see what we can do,” he said. “Some of these people that we plan to go to are people that may have been in the Korean War, or just veterans that are down on their luck, they need some help and there’s a ton of them out there.” Dawson praised the efforts of Cathell, John Topfer and Mike Hooper to make the assistance program a success. “This committee raises funds strictly for our military troops,” he said. “We have other committees out there — we’re working on the Boardwalk this year, selling a $50,000 cash prize but those funds go to other needs in our county, primarily locally.” None of the work would be possible without the support of community donors, who Dawson said have enabled the program to raise more than $40,000 yearly. “All I have to do is just give them a call and they say, ‘Ben we’re with you again this year,’” he said. “Everybody’s got a heart for the military.”

Volunteer group works to get vets benefits Nonprofit labors to provide military members no-cost rides to VA hospital, clinics
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) The National Association for Black Veterans’ Berlin chapter continues to help an ever-increasing number of military members get access to the benefits they’ve earned. Now, the nonprofit hopes to expand its mission. NABVETS Walk Through the Valley Chapter #0093 Commander James Briddell said the group began in 2008 when a multitude of Vietnam-era military vets from the area took part in a number of local patriotic celebrations. “We were part of the Memorial Day parade and Veterans Day pro-
gram,” he said. “We had a heart for seeing to it that other veterans knew about the different benefits that they were entitled to.” It started with Briddell and the other veterans offering to carpool when heading to the western shore. “As I would go to Baltimore, or some of the other members would go, we would take other veterans with us,” he said. “We would try to get them signed up with the VA so they might be able to get their healthcare. We would take veterans to the federal building and help them file for disability claims.” What Briddell and his cohorts began to discover was numerous military members lacked knowledge of and access to benefits. “We realized the veterans didn’t have a way to get back and forth to the Veterans Administration, to the
hospital, to the clinic,” he said. “The mission we are on is providing this transportation for veterans back and forth to these different clinics and hospitals.” Until last year, Briddell said members of his group used their own vehicles exclusively, but in February 2015 received a van from a community donor. “From March until the end of the year (2015,) we were using this vehicle, plus our own, to help veterans get back and forth,” he said. This year the group’s fleet has grown to three vans after two more vehicles were donated. “For the month of May, we’ve made 42 trips between the three vehicles. In April it was basically the same thing we had over 40 trips.” he said. “These vehicles are on the road just about every day.”
In some instances, Briddell said the vans make multiple stops in the same day. For example, this past week Briddell drove to Cambridge twice in the same day. “I took a veteran in van three into Cambridge. He had to be there at 9:30, brought him home, turned right back around and picked up another man in Salisbury and took him to Cambridge,” he said. “At the same time, van two had picked up three people and was in Baltimore.” Van one is the generally driven by chapter chairman Abner Snell, a Berlin resident and Viet Nam veteran, whom Briddell said deserves praise for his diligence. “From day one when we got van one he jumped in and went to work,” he said. “He was going three to four days a week. He personally made 73 trips from March of last year to December.” Chapter co-chairman Orlando Smack Jr. took the reins for van two when it was donated earlier this year. “He was making trips in his pickup until such time as we got the van,” he said. “We were doing this before we became an organized nonprofit.” In 2013, Briddell said the group received a charter from NABVETS after Gabe Purnell, husband of County Commissioner Diana Purnell, informed members of the national See GRASSROOT Page 24

County, city split West OC fire/EMS service No clear answer on how much resort contributes to emergency calls over bridge
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Public safety services provided by Ocean City to its unincorporated neighbor West Ocean City have been part of the conversation between local and county officials for years, as the resort government has long argued for a reduced tax rate for its property owners. Fire and ambulance emergency response to West Ocean City is perhaps the most expensive service, though much of it is provided by the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company. The OCVFC, which has a station on Keyser Point Road, is the only service
foothold in the area. However, Ocean City provides supplementary services for a price. There’s no absolute way to determine how much resort taxpayers contribute to cover the cost of serving West Ocean City properties, since it depends on which agency answers the call. Outside of Ocean City, the volunteer fire company’s jurisdiction goes from the Route 50 bridge west to Holly Grove Road, south on Assateague Road and north of Keyser Point Road, according to Worcester Emergency Services Director Fred Webster. But in some cases the Ocean City Fire Department, which is supported by city taxpayers, respond to emergencies across the bridge. “Service calls are broken down into two categories: fire and silent alarms,” said volunteer fire company
President Jay Jester. “Fire alarms are structure fires, vehicle crashes or that someone needs CPR. Those calls, the closest fire department station is automatically alerted. Silent calls are smoke detectors or a cat stuck in a tree, and those are handled by volunteers. If there’s no response in six minutes, then it gets dispatched to the city’s stations.” The Dorchester Avenue firehouse is the station closest to West Ocean City, but sometimes is closed during the off-season. In those cases, the alert would be sent to the headquarters on 15th Street. Every time the city sends an engine across the bridge, Worcester County reimburses the resort $1,000 for that call, according to County Administrator Harold Higgins. Last year, according to Jester, the volunteers answered 234 fire calls.

Thirty-seven times the fire department answered a fire call in 2015, resulting in a $37,000 bill. “Those 37 times that the fire department engine came out, it could have been when our crew was out one minute later or an assist,” Jester said. The cost breakdown is a little bit more involved for medical service calls, since the Keyser Point Road station has an ambulance but is not usually staffed. Although there are some volunteer paramedics, the city staffs that ambulance during high-volume times, like the OC Air Show or Fourth of July, when it would be impossible to send one over the bridge. Ocean City is recompensed $748 for every time a patient is transported to a hospital outside city limits. Nontransport calls are reimbursed $187 per call. Additionally, Worcester County repays the city $5,000 per full-time paramedic provider and $10,000 per ambulance in each of these calls every fiscal year. In 2015, Ocean City medical services responded to 4,611 emergency medical services, according to city Communications liaison Jessica Waters. Total patients recorded last year was 4,717, as some EMS calls have more than one patient. Breaking that total down, 2,866 individuals were transported to the hospital and 1,851 were non-transports. For fiscal year 2017, the resort estimates that they will be compensated at $1.19 million and $87,000 for EMS and fire calls, respectively. This dollar amount is about 20 percent of what Ocean City invests in each service. In the adopted budget, the resort has designated $5.5 million for the fire and paramedic and $1.27 million for the volunteer company in FY17. The volunteer company also receives funding in the Worcester County’s budget in the form of a $235,000 grant this year. According to the county’s budget documents, the state also provides the volunteer company a $28,049 grant.

Resort bonds refunded at higher value than forecasted
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Ocean City will be refunding its 2007 bond issuance from money borrowed from banks at a lower interest rate, with anticipated savings of $482,000 over the next five years, a profit well above the original forecast. “When we brought this to you in an ordinance in April, it was a minimum of $375,000, maybe $390,000,” city Finance Administrator Martha Bennett told the City Council Monday night. “That’s very good. It effects the general fund, the water and waste water fund, with 53 percent of the savings going into the general fund.” Back in April, the council passed an ordinance to refund bonds in 2007 maturing from 2019 to 2027 at an anticipated interest rate of 2.2 percent. When the resort put the bonds up for sale, it received seven bids with interest rates varying from 1.92 to 2.73 percent. Based on calculations from Davenport & Company, the city’s financial advisor for the sale, accepting the lowest interest rate from TD Bank would provide the a highest refund. The bond sold for approximately $5.2 million. About $4.9 million will be used to refund the 2007 bond that was issued to fund street paving, the addition to the public safety building, the wastewater plant, the Public Works expansion, and the press box and a bathroom at Northside park. “I’m very pleased at the results of refinancing,” Bennett told the City Council Tuesday. “And the fact that we had seven
Officials predict possible tropical storms this season
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) With the beginning of hurricane season on June 1, Delmarva Power representatives are warning that the absence of major storms on the coast in recent years doesn’t mean it can’t happen. The power company, along with local and state officials and the American Red Cross, made that point at a press conference at the Clarion Hotel on 101st Street, in Ocean City, May 31. For the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting a 70 percent chance for 10 to 16 tropical storms (winds of at least 39 mph), with between four and eight becoming hurricanes (winds of at least 74 mph) and the potential for one to four to become major hurricanes, with sustained winds between 111 and 130 mph. NOAA said there is a 45 percent chance for a near normal hurricane season, with a 30 percent chance for above average storm totals. Delmarva Power media relations ofSee RED Page 28
truly excellent bids speaks to the town’s excellent credit rating.” The original bonds were valued at a 4 percent interest rate in 2007, which was a favorable rating at the time. But the current interest rate, which was half the initial evaluation, also results in a present value savings of 9.75 percent of refunded principal. “The rule of thumb is that you need to save two percent. This is an extraordinary amount of savings. This will refund the last 10 years of those bonds with the refunding taking place in 2017.” Bennett said. In comparison, the reduction of interest expense, based on how the principle was paid, resulted in $80,000 in savings by 2007. This sale results in saving $110,000 by 2017. “That’s over $55,000 for the general fund next year that will be saved in interest costs,” Bennett said. “This is really fantastic news,” said Councilman Tony DeLuca. “It was [originally] estimated at $390,000. Last week it was $425,000, Monday it was $475,000 and today it’s $482,000. I can’t wait for tomorrow.” “Well, we’re going to take this one,” Bennett replied. The Council voted 6-0 to instruct Mayor Rick Meehan to accept the bid from TD bank. Council President Lloyd Martin was absent.

Red Cross advises residents to plan, build hurricane kit Continued from Page 27 ficial Matt Likovich said area residents should remain vigilant despite the relative calm of recent hurricane seasons. “The last few years we haven’t been inundated with storms,” he said. In June 2015, remnants of Tropical Storm Bill brought heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and gusty winds to the Ocean City, while that May, Tropical Strom Ana skimmed the Maryland coastline. In July 2014 the outskirts of Hurricane Arthur delivered heavy rain and winds to our region. Fred Webster, Worcester County emergency services director, echoed Likovich’s advice. “It only takes one storm that can devastate a given area,” he said. “Everyone needs to have a plan and be prepared.” Chas Eby, Maryland Emergency Management Agency external outreach branch manager, said that even moderately heavy precipitation could cause flooding issues in areas at lower elevations. “You can only imagine the impact of a hurricane,” he said. “You need to be aware if you live or work in a flood prone area.” Networking is of vital importance, Eby said, and could even be life saving. “Get to know your neighbors and how to communicate with them,” he said. He also suggested placing important documents in a waterproof container or backed up on a USB flash drive. Theresa Young, American Red Cross of Delmarva executive director, said residents should have sufficient rations to survive for a minimum of three days in the event of a hurricane or severe tropical storm. “Build a kit, make a plan and be prepared,” she said. The Red Cross said emergency storm kits should include non-perishable foods, bottled water, battery powered or
wind-up radio or TV, flashlights with extra batteries, first aid kit with prescription medications, blankets or bedding, hand-operated can opener, hand tools, list of emergency phone numbers, and an electricity-free land-line phone. Supplies should be checked twice yearly for expiration dates, Young said, with sufficient water to supply one gallon per person per day. Jim Smith, Delmarva Power senior public affairs manager, cautioned the public and business owners to heed storm warnings throughout hurricane season. “It’s all about preparation,” he said. “It’s important our local businesses have a plan in place should their business go down.” If power is lost, Delmarva Power advises customers to unplug electronics and appliances, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed, exercise caution around candles and open flames, and follow safety guidelines if operating a generator. When power outages do occur, Smith said the restoration process begins as soon as conditions become safe for repair workers. “We try to get the most number of customers on in the shortest amount of time,” he said. “We spend millions each year to have a more robust system.” Likovich said Delmarva Power has invested more than $586 million since 2013 to upgrade substation equipment, poles, transformers and associated infrastructure to address hurricane or storm aftermaths. In the event of a severe weather event, residents can find online updates at delmarva.com by clicking “outage center” and entering their account information. Customers can also report an outage, find area outage maps, and get power restoration estimates. Outages can also be reported by calling 800898-8042 or 800-898-8045.

Initiative to preserve families develops multi-year strategy By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) The Worcester County Initiative to Preserve Families can apply for funding to the Governor’s Office for Children, after receiving permission from the Worcester County Commissioners at its May 17 meeting. Also known as the Local Management Board, the agency works with children and families through community groups, other agencies and private organizations, Jessica Sexauer, acting director, told the commissioners. At present, Sexauer said, the board is developing a multi-year plan with specific goals. “Our process for the upcoming fiscal year is year one of a three year process,” she said. “Over the next three years, we will be shifting our programs to specifically address outcomes for homeless youth, disconnected youth, and the impact of incarceration.” Programs the board supported in FY 2016 included Comprehensive Parenting, Integrated Services for Child Maltreatment, Community Service Centers, The Cricket Center and Youth as One. Sexauer said the board plans to back these same programs in FY 2017 but hopes to expand its scope to other areas. Among other objectives for FY
2017, the board hopes to expand community service centers for disconnected and homeless youth. Sexauer said disconnected youth are those between the ages of 16 and 24 who are not employed or attending school. She said the board hopes to address this in more detail by obtaining data from youth who are not heading to college and who may face employment challenges. By identifying gaps and challenges specific to these youth, the board hopes it can find a way to help these youth get into the working world. “It can also help us build on existing resources to increase the likelihood of youth receiving specialized training and support for job readiness,” she said. According to data collected by Opportunity Nation, a bi-partisan national coalition of businesses, nonprofits, schools and community leaders, the percentage of disconnected youth in Worcester County has more than doubled in recent years. The coalition’s 2015 Opportunity Index found 25 percent of Worcester residents between 16 and 24 years of age were not employed or involved in educational pursuits. This is up slightly from 2014 when more than 22 percent fell into those categories.

JUNE 17, 2016
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (June 17, 2016) According to reports provided by the Worcester County Health Department and the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, opioid-related deaths are now more common in Worcester than fatal car crashes on U.S. and state highways within the county. While the data points don’t exactly match — the most recent information available from the MVA is from 2013 with newer numbers expected later this year — the numbers show clear trends. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene released a report of drug and alcohol related deaths within the state last week. In Worcester, 16 people died in 2015 from drug- and alcohol-related causes. Statewide, 1,259 people died from drug and alcohol intoxication in 2015, according to the report. Of those, the report states, 86 percent involved opioids. Opioid-related deaths increased 23 percent between 2014 and 2015, and have
more than doubled since 2010, according to the report. According to the MVA, the fiveyear average of fatal crashes in Worcester is seven, and is generally trending down for the period of 2009-2013. Crashes resulting in personal injury were much higher, with a five-year average of 326 in Worcester, though the final year in the MVA’s numbers, 2013, were much lower than in preceding years. Of the fatal crashes in the MVA report, relatively few were caused by alcohol or drugs, with a five-year average of two, and zero reported in 2010 and 2013 and injury count hovered around 40, with a five-year average of 43. Further, opioids are more dangerous than distracted driving in Worcester, with a five-year average of four, with six being reported in 2009 and zero in 2013. Injury-causing crashes attributed to distracted driving had a five-year average of 230, again with 2013 showing the lowest numbers on record with 168. According to the health department report, those between the ages of 25 — 54 saw the greatest increase of drug- and alcohol-related deaths last year, and white males were far more vulnerable than females,

‘Addiction treatment services are provided by grants and fee-for-service funding. Prevention treatment of addiction is definitely one of our priority areas, this includes opioid addiction.’ Worcester County Health Officer Debbie Goeller African-Americans or Hispanics. Between 2011 and 2015, according to the report, heroin and Fentanyl related deaths increased dramatically in the state, with heroin accounting for 247 deaths in 2011 and 748 in 2015. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, overtook alcohol, cocaine and Benzodiazepines in fatalities, and killed 11 fewer people than prescription opioids in 2015. In 2011 Fentanyl caused 26 deaths, but by 2015 the number had grown to 340 in the state. Worcester had 11 heroin related deaths last year, more than Kent, Dorchester and Queen Anne’s counties’ count of 1, but decidedly less than Baltimore City’s 260, Baltimore County’s 134 and Anne Arundel’s 60. Worcester had one prescription opioid death in 2015, and six Fentanyl related deaths. According to Toni Keiser, vice president of public relations at Atlantic General Hospital, the facility had 28 patients with opioid-related conditions, which increased to 40 in 2015 and has increased again to 60 in just the first quarter of 2016. But the numbers of people seeking treatment has also increased. “The Worcester County Health
Department is currently seeing an increase the number of individuals seeking treatment for opioid use disorders,” Christina Purcell, behavioral health program manager at the health department, said. When asked how focus on opioids might affect other areas of public health concern, Worcester County Health Officer Debbie Goeller replied, “Public health is used to working on multiple priorities at once — you do what you can do to balance priorities and address the issues with the manpower and resources that you have.” Goeller also explained how funding for these programs works. “Sometimes federal or dedicated funding streams are sent to local health departments to address specific issues — so in this situationspecific funding has been provided for Naloxone purchase and training, and some prevention dollars were allocated for mobile information campaign,” she said. “Addiction treatment services are provided by grants and fee-for-service funding. Prevention treatment of addiction is definitely one of our priority areas, this includes opioid addiction.”

Troopers from the Maryland State Police Berlin barrack responded on June 9 to a motor vehicle collision on Route 12 to find Justin Lewis, 26, of Snow Hill pronounced dead upon arrival.

In Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possession, officers allegedly discovered more than seven grams of marijuana, along with a loaded Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun. The weapon had its serial number removed, and upon further investigation it was discovered that David is prohibited from possessing a firearm because a protective order against him.

Bank robber gets decade in prison as part of plea bargain Jeff Hare, 54, admits to robbing BB&T branch on Racetrack Road last year
(June 17, 2016) U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar sentenced Jeff V. Hare, 54, of Berlin, Maryland, on June 9, to 10 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for armed bank robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein, Special Agent in Charge Kevin Perkins of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Worcester County Sheriff Reggie T. Mason, Sr., Colonel William M. Pallozzi, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police, and Worcester
Victim finds suspect in her bed Continued from Page 35 The more serious of this string of robberies occurred on June 6. Police said Darren Moore, 20, of Elverson, Pennsylvania was arrested on numerous charges that day and again on June 10, after he robbed two people at gunpoint, broke into various downtown units and stole a number of items. According to the report, Moore walked up to two victims on June 6, pulled out a replica handgun and forced them to hand over their hats. Police reported hotel video surveillance showed Moore steal a replica handgun from the owners trunk and threaten the victims before returning with two hats. A couple days later, Ocean City police officers started following a stolen iPhone in Moore’s possession and allegedly found the suspect manipulating a window with a knife before ripping the screen off on June 10. As the investigation continued, police began to locate other victims of thefts and burglaries including cut screens and damaged doors.
Police reported Moore entered a unit on St. Louis Avenue by breaking down the door and stealing a 30 pack of Bud Light beer and an iPhone. An hour later, three victims on 12th Street called police and said Moore had been inside their unit, the report stated. Victims told police a cooler full of alcoholic beverages, a key, a cell phone and money were all stolen. In addition, one of the victims reported Moore climbed into her bed and another woke to the suspect kissing her neck.

In addition, police reported various items were recovered elsewhere, including an iPhone, a cooler and a 30 pack of Bud Light.

Berlin vandals’ probation altered, not violated State agrees to adjusted deal adding terms but also taking away limits for pair
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (June 17, 2016) While dubious of the defendants’ claim of inability to find anywhere within Berlin to conduct their court-mandated community service, Judge Gerald Purnell nonetheless approved an alteration to that condition as well as imposing a few others on the Berlin vandals during a hearing last Friday. Jordan Denton, 19, of Ocean City
and Nick Bonser, 18, of Ocean Pines were sentenced to 150 hours each of community service in Berlin, were to write letters of apology to the town, serve two years’ worth of probation and make restitution of about $3,000 each last June. Both were called before the judge for suspected violation of the probation agreement reached as part of a plea deal. Denton was legally an adult at the time of the January 2015 incident, Bonser was almost 18 and was charged as an adult, and an unidentified minor admitted involvement with the crimes. Purnell said he’d never heard of
From jail, Hare attempted to destroy evidence of robbery Continued from Page 36 He admitted that, after robbing the tellers in the lobby, he found a bank employee who had locked herself in a back room of the bank. Hare forced open the locked door and demanded her car keys and purse. The employee gave Hare the purse, which contained cash and personal effects – and the keys to her car. He then fled in the stolen car, which he abandoned at a nearby business. Hare was arrested later that evening at a residence in Ocean Pines. At the time, he was still in possession of the money stolen from the bank. Hare has been detained since his arrest, during which time he attempted to impede the investigation by trying to dispose evidence. On May 1, 2015, an associate of Hare visited him at the Worcester County Detention Center in Snow Hill. Hare told his associate that he
was being framed, and that unidentified persons had a box of garbage that would incriminate him. He asked the person to retrieve the box from his former residence in Ocean Pines. On May 6, Hare called his associate and asked if he got rid of the “trash,” referring to the box. The box contained the ski mask Hare wore during the robbery and carjacking, a .38 caliber revolver believed to have been used during the robbery, and the purse Hare stole from the bank employee, including her driver’s license. United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the FBI, Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland State Police and the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office for their work in the investigation and prosecution. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Matthew J. Maddox and Zachary A. Myers, who prosecuted the case.
a town that didn’t need any sort of help, but wasn’t going to challenge the claims of the pair as long as the state, represented by Paul Haskell, didn’t have a problem. Purnell said the deal was between Denton, Bonser and the state and he would accept any changes offered and agreed upon by both parties. Haskell added four provisions to the existing deal. Both Bonser and Denton will now be required to abstain from alcohol and abuse use of any drug, submit to alcohol and drug screening as directed by their probation supervisor and consent to any treatment, testing or evaluation mandated by the probation supervisor as part of their probation. The judge also removed the provision that the service be completed within the town of Berlin as part of the new deal struck between the parties. Bonser said he had completed 50
hours of service at the Bishopville Fire Department, and had scheduled the remaining 100 hours worth of time there. Denton gave no indication of the amount of community service she’d completed. During the hearing, it was revealed both Bonser and Denton had admitted to and tested positive for marijuana use while on probation. The time limit to complete the community service was also shortened to six months. Bonser and Denton previously had until the end of their probationary period, June 2017, to complete the service. No information on the status of the monetary restitution was revealed during the hearing, though Laura Allen, the town administrator, said neither Bonser nor Denton had made any financial restitution to the town, nor had they completed any community service work. Allen said letters of apology from the pair were received in February 2016.

Multiple local young adults arrested after midnight brawl Five men and two juveniles face charges after melee erupts on Boardwalk, Sat.
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Ocean City Police last Saturday broke up a Boardwalk scuffle between two groups of area men, including at least two juveniles, that drew nearly 100 spectators before the ruckus was quelled. Police went to the area of Worcester Street and the Boardwalk at approximately 11:40 p.m. for a reported fight and, according to a press release, saw the men screaming obscenities and trying to start a fight. The press release said that when police attempted to detain two men they identified as the primary instigators both parties resisted arrest. Simultaneously, several other parties involved in the altercation became uncooperative and additional officers were dispatched to the scene. Police reported that as the subjects continued to struggle while they attempted to place them in custody, the officers targeted the men with Tasers to gain compliance and to disperse the crowd that had gathered. The OCPD arrested and charged
the following individuals: Kameron Christopher, 18, of Delmar, Delaware and Aaron Waples, 19, of Berlin were both charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and second-degree assault.

(June 17, 2016) Rackliffe House Trust dedicated the new Ann Showell Mariner Memorial Garden in a ceremony at historic Rackliffe House in Berlin on June 5. Rackliffe House Trust Board President Carolyn Cummins welcomed 60 guests, including donors, docents, and members of the Mariner family. Father Michael Moyer of Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church, blessed the kitchen garden, which is named in memory of local resident Ann Showell Mariner, and made possible by her family and friends. “Ann loved gardens and historic places,” said Susan Mariner, Ann’s sister-in-law and Rackliffe House Trust board member. “Her husband, A. Reginald (Reggie) Mariner II, requested donations to this garden in living memory of Ann, who passed in 2013.” Family members in attendance included Jennifer Mariner Neeb and Garrett Neeb, Ann and Reggie Mariner’s daughter and grandson. The Ann Showell Mariner Memorial Garden is an interpretive recreation of the typical kitchen garden Colonial American homes would cultivate, including herbs (for seasoning and preserving food, dyeing cloth and medicinal uses), as well as vegetables and fruits. This garden includes flax, used to
spin linen; lamb’s ear, for wound dressing; several varieties of mint, for medicinal and flavoring purposes; and a number of common culinary herbs, such as rosemary, sage, thyme and dill. Kitchen gardens sometimes were located adjacent to kitchens which, in the 18th and early 19th centuries, often were outbuildings separated from the main house. Enslaved and free servants planted, weeded, watered and harvested the gardens and also worked in the kitchen. The Ann Showell Mariner Memorial Garden is open year round and is accessible daily by walking behind Assateague Visitors Center and a half mile down Tom Patton Lane. Rackliffe House is open for tours every Tuesday and Thursday from 14 p.m. as well as the second Saturday of each month from 1-4 p.m. through October. Rackliffe House is a restored 1740s merchant-planter’s home overlooking Assateague Island and Sinepuxent Bay. Rackliffe House was constructed by Captain Charles Rackliffe, the grandson of one of the earliest English immigrants to Maryland’s seaside.

Sorin Scholarship supports local high school graduates’ diligent academics (June 17, 2016) Since 2010, the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce Foundation mission has supported economic and educational growth within the region through scholarships and educational opportunities for future leaders.

In addition, the organization has established a boutique in the Visitors Center to sell a limited amount of Ocean City souvenirs, including replicas of the “Dance with the Dolphins” sculpture, along with other gift items.
All proceeds will benefit the scholarship program. To be awarded with a scholarship, a student must demonstrate scholastic ability, character, leadership and a strong commitment to the community. The program was opened to applications to those currently in the workforce who are looking to climb the career ladder. All applications are blindly reviewed by the Foundation Board against specific criteria. The scholarships were presented by the Chamber Foundation Board members on May 5 during the Chamber Business After Hours event at Buddy’s OC Crabs & Ribs, 221 Wicomico St. Among the recipients were Sara Sabia, who is currently a sales manager with Harrison Group Resort Hotels. She will be pursuing an advanced degree in Business Management at UMUC, where she currently maintains a 4.0 average.

Talbot St. Café brings fresh food to downtown area
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Charlene ElliottCarr and her husband, Bob, officially opened Talbot St. Café on May 3 bringing fresh coffee and sandwiches to the downtown area. “I don’t use grease when I cook and there is no grill here,” Elliott-Carr said. “Everything is nice and fresh. I make really good coffee. I use fair trade organic and each pot of coffee made, including decaf, has fresh ground beans.” Elliott-Carr calls herself a coffee connoisseur, which is the inspiration for opening Talbot St. Café, located steps from the Boardwalk. Visitors will find cappuccinos, lattes, expresso, mochas and Americanos. “Any kind of coffee you want,” Elliott-Carr said. “Because I grind my own beans, I can make any kind of flavored coffee. We use soy, almond, lactose free milk, whole and skim.” Make sure to enjoy coffee with a huge breakfast sandwich of bacon, sausage, egg or cheese on a plain, asiago cheese, everything, cinnamon raisin or blueberry bagel. “I wasn’t sure what to expect,” said Sara Porter, 18, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “It was the best breakfast sandwich ever. So worth it. We waited in a line out the door every morning.” Porter and 20 friends celebrating senior week in the resort made sure to

start their mornings with a breakfast sandwich from Talbot St. Café every day. “Best breakfast sandwich I ever had,” said Jimmy Demore, 18, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “I hate to leave because I won’t have breakfast anymore.” Elliott-Carr said she had lines every morning last week for breakfast sandwiches and all the senior week kids pitched in to give her an $80 tip before they left. The café also carries Good Humor ice cream, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, iced lemon cake, biscotti, muffins, croissants, Pepsi products, milk, juices, assorted candy and chips. Additional freshly made options include $2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, paninis, quesadillas, chicken and egg salad sandwiches or a grilled
ham and cheese. “I wanted to eat food that wasn’t the same old, greasy fried food,” Elliott-Carr said. “My niche is to do it differently.” In addition, Elliott-Carr will have Baltimore Snow Balls with crushed ice topped with marshmallow and a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center. Flavors include egg custard, chocolate, mint and cherry. “I try to sell and make food people can eat while sitting on the beach,” Elliott-Carr said. Elliott-Carr purchased the property last September from the previous owner and did a complete renovation during the offseason.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (June 17, 2016) As the market improves and inventory decreases, the likelihood of multiple-offer situations occurring will increase. There are various ways multiple offer situations can be handled, and the ultimate decision on how to handle them lies with the seller. But, impartial and honest treatment throughout the offer and negotiation process, as well as prompt and open communication, is important to be sure that buyers feel they have been treated fairly. The National Association of Realtors provides “A Buyers’ and Sellers’ Guide to Multiple Offer Negotiations,” which is excerpted from the “Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual.” The guide lists tips for buyers and sellers involved in a multiple offer negotiation. A sampling of the buyers’ tips include: • Sellers have several ways to deal with multiple offers. Sellers can accept the “best” offer; they can inform all potential purchasers that other offers are “on the table”; they can “counter” one offer while putting the other offers to the side awaiting a decision on the counter-offer; or they can “counter” one offer and reject the others. • There are advantages and disadvantages to the various negotiating strategies you can employ in multiple offer negotiations. A low initial offer may result in buying the property you desire for less than the listed price – or it may result in another buyer’s higher offer being accepted. On the other hand, a full price offer may result in paying more than the seller might have required. In some cases there can be several full price offers competing for the seller’s attention – and acceptance. • Appreciate that your buyerrepresentative’s advice is based on past experience and is no guarantee as to how any particular seller will act (or react) in a specific situation. A sampling of the sellers’ tips include: • It’s possible you may be faced with multiple competing offers to purchase your property. Your listing See SEVERAL Page 59

Continued from Page 58 flooring was put in, the dry wall was taken out, it was repainted and all new commercial equipment was put in. For the last 25 years, Elliott-Carr has worked at the Purple Moose and would always come to Talbot St. Café for coffee. “My husband and I love Ocean City,” she said. “I can’t seem to leave Talbot Street and I just love downtown Ocean City. It’s a whole different community down here where everybody knows everyone. There is a morning hub of locals who have coffee and chat.” Talbot St. Café is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., will close for a few hours and then open back up around 6 or 7 p.m. “People save their money for 51 weeks of the year just so they can have one week in Ocean City,” Elliott-Carr said. “I always try to remember how much I should appreciate where I live and to leave a lasting memory that way they can go home and in a moment of feeling the worst, hopefully they remember a happy time in Ocean City.” Call 443-235-5813 for more information or search “Talbot St. Café” on Facebook to keep up with daily happenings.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Michael Van Houten, a 2000 graduate of Stephen Decatur High School, decided to follow his passion with the help of his wife, Heather, and start selling five homemade sauces. Bottled Thyme came to fruition about a year ago after Van Houten spent a decent amount of time mixing up sauces at home for dishes and Heather suggested he start making them in bulk to sell at Farmers Markets. “It has been a lot of fun making them and I put passion into it,” Van Houten said. “I am just following what I enjoy.” Two of Van Houten’s favorites are Sauce Robert, a whole grain mustard and fresh pressed apple cider simmered with a rich demi-glace and Romesco Sauce which has a bold smokiness of roasted red peppers, toasted nuts and paprika into a valiant sauce. “Sauce Robert is my favorite, it goes well with pork and has a unique flavor,” Van Houten said. “I am drawn to it and it’s a top seller.” The Romesco Sauce has a bold flavor, is vegan friendly and the roasted red peppers go well with grilled foods such as chicken breast, seafood, zucchini, squash and eggplant, he added. “You get to taste the ingredients listed on the jar,” Van Houten said. “It is quality, all made by hand and not manufactured or full of salt. You can taste the passion throughout.” Bottled Thyme also has a roasted chicken flavored sauce enriched with lemon and thyme or customers can check out the Bordelaise Sauce, which is a cabernet sauvignon and beef stock reduced with shallots and thyme. Vegetarians will love the Sauce Champignon where wild mushrooms are sautéed then simmered in a full flavored demi-glace and sweet port wine. A smooth mushroom puree is used to thicken the hearty sauce. Van Houten recommends the flavoring on pastas, vegetables or risottos. There are about half a dozen recipes on the Bottled Thyme website and each take 30-45 minutes. Van Houten brings leftover sauce home after canning and sees what creative

dishes he can whip up in the kitchen. “Being a chef, I like writing recipes and helping people become familiar with foods so they can spend more time with family and friends,” Van Houten said. “My whole philosophy was I wanted to see people save time and I wanted to make it so people who are busy with work and children can eat a nice meal without the unnatural stuff they put in food.” The 34 year old grew up in Ocean City and worked in a supervisory role at Philips Seafood House on 142nd Street for about eight years after graduating from culinary school. Van Houten currently lives in Philadelphia with his wife. Customers can purchase Romesco Sauce and Sauce Champignon at Real Raw Organics on 34th Street. All sauces are available at Urban Nectar in Berlin or online at www.bottledthyme.com.

REAL ESTATE REPORT
Several ways to handle multiple offers by buyers Continued from Page 58 broker can explain various negotiating strategies for you to consider. For example, you can accept the “best” offer; you can inform all potential purchasers that other offers are “on the table” and invite them to make their “best” offer; you can “counter” one offer while putting the other offers to the side awaiting a decision on your counter-offer; or you can “counter” one offer and reject the others. • Realize that each of these approaches has advantages and disadvantages. Patience may result in an even better offer being received; inviting buyers to make their “best” offers may produce an offer (or offers) better than those “on the table” – or may discourage buyers who feel they’ve already made a fair offer resulting in them breaking off negotiations to pursue other properties. Your listing broker will explain the pros and cons of these strategies (and possibly other) negotiating strategies. The decisions, however, are yours to make. — Lauren Bunting is an associate broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Couple donates $50K to support education access Worcester County Education Foundation’s mission assisted
(June 17, 2016) Local advocates for great education, Jon and Judy Tremellen, recently stepped up with a donation of $50,000 in support of the Worcester County Education Foundation’s (WCEF) goals, which include supporting teachers and providing equal access to a first class education for every student in Worcester County. “So many people in our county are beginning to understand that if we provide the tools necessary to teach excellence in the early years, our community reaps the benefits of well educated adults who contribute to our community down the road,” Judy Tremellen said. “We know that education is key to anyone’s success and by providing equal access to a great education, we all win. “Our boys were fortunate to have experienced a wonderful education from both the private and public school systems in Worcester County,” she continued. “Jon and I have always been especially strong advocates for education and the arts and were inspired by the article about Pam and Macky Stansell’s generous contribution to the

AGH nurses Lund and Mullins receive Barrett scholarships (June 17, 2016) Atlantic General Hospital recently awarded nurses Mary Mullins and Kelly Lund the James G. and Nancy W. Barrett Associate RN to BSN Scholarship. This scholarship was recently added to the Barrett scholarship program to support the hospital’s efforts to increase the number of bachelor’s degree-prepared nurses on staff. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has recommended that 80 percent of direct care nurses have a Bachelor of Science (BSN) or higher level degree by the year 2020. With this in mind, the Atlantic General Hospital Professional Nurse Council established a goal to increase the number advance degree prepared nurses by 2 percent every year until 2020 when the 80 percent benchmark is reached. Recent studies suggest higher levels of nurse education are linked to better patient outcomes. According to a study published in the Medical Care Journal (October 2014), a 10 percent increase in the BSN workforce reduced the odds of patient mortality by 10.9 percent. However, there are challenges to building a more educated workforce, including access to advanced nursing education programs in the region and the cost of higher learning. A hospital survey conducted at Atlantic General Hospital found that 36
percent of AGH nurses identified financial barriers as the reason for not pursuing a higher degree. The Associate RN-BSN Scholarship addresses the financial barrier by offering full tuition assistance and purchase of books to qualifying nursing associates who are pursuing an advanced degree in nursing. Mullins and Lund both were awarded the RN to BSN scholarship to obtain their bachelor’s degrees. “The RN experience was invaluable…I want to continue my education and look ahead toward my future goal of becoming a nurse manager at Atlantic General Hospital,” said Mullins, an RN with Atlantic General Hospital for almost two years and previous recipient of the RN scholarship. Lund has been an RN with Atlantic General Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit for over a year. “My passion for nursing and drive toward higher education has led me to pursue an advanced degree,” she said. Both desired to further their education to advance in their nursing careers, but also to stay current with best practices and provide the best possible care to their patients. Atlantic General Hospital is committed to its nurses and their professional development. “The James G. and Nancy W. Bar-

rett Scholarship program is a great benefit not only to our associates, but the community as a whole,” said Colleen Wareing, vice president patient care services at Atlantic General Hospital. “The number of scholarships awarded is dependent on how well the fund is supported. It is an investment in the caregivers of our community, and we will be continuously working toward developing the fund to support our nurses in their pursuit of higher education.” To learn more about the James G. and Nancy W.

Professional skaters, from left, Ian Lorello, Olivia Ziegler, Wesley Campbell, Ale Izquierdo and Tess Terpos, pose for a photo during practice on Tuesday afternoon. The Next Ice Age performances take place nightly at 6:30 p.m. at the Carousel Hotel on 118th Street.
The Next Ice Age returns to OC Performances take place 6:30 p.m. every night at Carousel Hotel, 118th St.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) A group of professional skaters have already begun to astonish audiences and will continue to do so every night this summer during The Next Ice Age performances at the Carousel Hotel on 118th Street. The shows will take place at 6:30 p.m. nightly through Aug. 17. Each performance will run about 30 minutes and are free to the public. There will be no shows on July 7 and 8. “Some of the skaters in this show are unbelievable,” choreographer Tim Murphy said. “We have a lot more partnering in the show this year with lifts and Wesley [Campbell] – wait to you see him skate – he is going to rip this house apart and make a lot of people very happy.” This year, Campbell, 30, of New York, will skate alongside Ian Lorello, 26, of Maryland, Ale Izquierdo, 28, from Mexico, Olivia Ziegler, 25, of Michigan, and Tess
Terpos, 19, of Maryland. “There is something in the show for every member of the family,” said Nathan Birch, The Next Ice Age executive director. “Beauty, athleticism, partnering, solos and ensemble numbers. There will be a wide variety of music genres.” Returning to Ocean City for its 15th year, the show is a favorite among Ocean City residents and visitors. In 2016, audiences will be dazzled with “Dreamskate,” where a series of eight to 10 unrelated numbers will focus on dreams. “I’ve had this idea in the back of my mind for at least five years, but as production became closer, I had other ideas,” Murphy said. “The beauty of it is dreams do not make sense and there is no story line. Each number has its own story, like a dream, and at the end everything switches and the texture changes. It’s so much fun.” Audiences will enjoy “Dreamskate” for about 20 minutes before a fun Beach Boys medley closes out the shows. “I have worked with the Next Ice
Age before and Tim and Nathan are world class choreographers and make it fun for everyone,” Campbell said. “Come out as a whole family to see a cool ensemble and highly developed choreography.” Since spectators are standing during the show and their proximity to the action on the rink is within a few feet, performers are constantly interacting with the crowd. Visitors are encouraged to meet the cast, ask for autographs and take pictures after the show. Watch the Ocean City show every night at 6:30 p.m. through Aug. 17, at the Carousel Hotel on 118th Street. Those who wish to eat dinner during the show should call the hotel in advance at 410-524-1000 to make a reservation for rinkside dining. “Every year Nathan and I try to bump up the quality – otherwise, why are you doing it?” Murphy said. “This is a high quality professional show that would rival anything in Ocean City, and it’s free.” Visit www.thenexticeage.org to learn more about The Next Ice Age performing arts company or to make a donation to the nonprofit.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 17, 2016) Stephen Decatur Assistant Baseball Coach Tyler Riley will help lead the South Team during the Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches 2016 Brooks Robinson High School All-Star game, this Sunday. The All-Star competition will be played after the Orioles game at Camden Yards. “I’m so excited. I can’t wait,” Riley said. “It’s a very small percentage of people who get to step foot on a professional baseball field and actually play or coach. You can almost say it’s like a dream come true to be out there for nine innings on a Major League baseball field.” Riley was one of six asked to be a coach. There are two teams made up of the 30 best high school baseball players in Maryland. Riley’s South Team will take on the North squad. “It’s a really nice honor,” he said. “It’s really another humbling experience for me to be asked to coach on a big league field and be part of a group of people that are going to watch the best high school players in our state and then hopefully put together a good team that goes out to Oklahoma and represents our state.” From the all-star showcase, a group of players will be selected to represent Maryland and travel to Oklahoma for competition. In February, Riley was presented the Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches Assistant Coach of the Year award. “Winning that award maybe like put some recognition for us down here on the map, that they know we have good baseball and we can evaluate talent and help with that process,” he said.

MSSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Tuna-Ment postponed to June 24-26
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 17, 2016) After monitoring the weather and anticipating rough sea and fishing conditions offshore this weekend, the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 27th annual Tuna-Ment Tournament has been postponed and will now take place Friday through Sunday, June 24-26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The] weather is looking really bad,â&#x20AC;? Dave Smith, executive director of the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association said. The only thing changing with the tournament is the dates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the format will remain the same. For the 2016 competition, the maximum boat length (manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specifications) for participants is 38 feet. Teams will fish two of three days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday, June 24-26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Participants love the relaxed tournament environment and the ability to win a good chunk of money,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed for the average recreational angler.â&#x20AC;? Tuna is the main division for the tournament and all species are eligible, except false albacore. Teams boating first-, second- and third-heaviest tunas will be awarded prize money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tuna fishing has been hot all over
the Mid-Atlantic,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Captains have been reporting great bites from the Norfolk to the Baltimore [canyons].â&#x20AC;? 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 captainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting will take place, 6-8 p.m. at Alltackle, off Route 50 and Golf Course Road in West Ocean City, on Thursday, June 23. The cost to enter the tournament is $275 for MSSA members, $300 for nonmembers. Atlantic Tackle on Sunset Avenue in West Ocean City is one of three official weigh stations. The others are Curtis Merritt Marina in Chincoteague, Virginia and Hookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;em and Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Register online at www.mssa.net/tunament.

They will compete in a two-day event, beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday morning with both boys’ and girls’ teams contending until about 6:45 p.m. on June 18. “It really is an amazing experience if you love soccer,” said Angela Lewis, the administrator for Beach 5 Sand Soccer. “There are no cleats or shin guards, but participants are still kicking around a soccer ball. It is a new, fun and different way to look at soccer.” The soccer-filled weekend continues on Sunday at 8 a.m. with adult teams competing until about 6:45 p.m. “We have 8-year-olds to adult coeds and there is no age limit,” Lewis said. “Participants will play championship games in the late afternoons and evenings.” Teams will be visiting from all over the East Coast including North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware. Beach 5 Sand Soccer has teamed up with Jolly Roger Amusement Park, Philadelphia Avenue, to provide a fun time for families when the kids are not playing in the tournament, she added. “We strive to make the event family-oriented and a fun atmosphere,” Lewis said. In addition, they will be selling specially designed T-shirts, socks and soccer balls on site at the tournament. Any soccer lovers who missed out on this weekend’s soccer tournament will receive another chance to participate. Beach 5 Sand Soccer will be back Aug. 6 for a second tournament in Ocean City. The deadline to sign up is July 1. New this year, Beach 5 Sand Soccer will have a tournament in Atlantic City on July 30. “Next year is our 10-year anniversary and we have a lot of exciting activities,” Lewis said. “We will also have guest appearances at events.” Catch this weekend’s events for free on the Boardwalk between Dorchester and Third Streets from 8 a.m. to about 6:45 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. “You see the love and passion of soccer on the beach in the sun,” Lewis said.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) The Junior Atlantic Beach Series will be returning to the Carousel Resort Hotel on 118th Street this weekend for the last of three approved volleyball tournaments, but organizers are hopeful three more dates they had requested earlier will still be approved. Last April, the Delaware Volleyball Academy, a nonprofit that sponsors the beach series sought approval for six tournament dates spanning from May to early September. When concerns were raised about how the tournament would affect beachgoers, the City Council ultimately approved three weekends in May and June. The remaining events are contingent on the success of the first three events – and the reactions from property owners. Although the City Council will vote on extending the beach series, organizers are hopeful. “The turnout was great, and we had about 70 teams for the June 4 and 5 and the weather held,” said Delaware Volleyball Academy representative Rich Comley. “Everything went well, and this weekend will be even better.” While the final numbers are still being tallied, organizers estimate that

(June 17, 2016) The Ocean Pines Anglers Club will host the annual Teach A Kid To Fish event on Saturday, June 18, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the South Gate Pond near the Sports Core pool. Children of all ages are invited to “test the waters” and learn fishing skills and techniques with the members of the Ocean Pines Anglers Club. Parents and grandparents are encouraged to assist their children. The
pond is stocked with several species of fish, such as bluegill and sunfish. Participants should bring their own rod. Bait will be provided. There will be informational stations on lure selection, knot tying, fish identification and casting. After the event a drawing will be held for a new rod and reel. This event is free. No pre-registration is required. For more information, call Walt Boge at 410-208-2855.
there will be about 40 to 50 teams participating in this weekend’s event, which is qualifier for the USA Volleyball Junior Beach Tour. “The USAV holds events across the region, and the top three players in each age category will go on to the national championships in Milwaukee in July,” Comley said. Age divisions include 18 and under, 16 and under, 14 and under and 12 and under. The tournament, like the two previous ones, draws young volleyball players from across the eastern seaboard. The last event drew teams from North Carolina, New York and Rhode Island, according to officials. While the Junior Atlantic Beach Series has been held on Ocean City’s inlet for the past five years, this is the first time the tournament has been held in north Ocean City. “Our clientele loved it at the Carousel. With the intimate environment, parents felt comfortable with letting their kids roam around the beach,” Comley said. “Parking’s also easier, and there’s also food available.” He also pointed out that moving the Junior Atlantic Beach Series to 117th Street also drives traffic to some of the uptown businesses. “We’ve been welcomed with open arms,” Comley said. “It’s helping out local businesses, and the Carousel has been very accommodating. They’ve leveled out the sand and created courts and even let us hold registration inside when it was raining a bit at an earlier event. “It’s really opened the door to work with other properties like this in the future,” he continued. Registration for this weekend’s volleyball tournament is still open, and costs $70. Participants can sign up at www.teamusa.org/usa-volleyball. Walk-up registrations the day of the event will be accepted on a space-available basis.

OC Surf Club’s Longboard Weekend events successful (June 17, 2016) The Ocean City Surf Club hosted its biggest event of the year, Longboard Weekend, June 10-12. Friday evening’s kickoff party and OC Legends induction featured a host of familiar faces, fantastic food, and surf videos at Barn 34. The highlight of the night was the annual OC Legends induction ceremony, an honor that goes to longtime area surfers over the age of 50 who have made their mark on the surfing scene, and who have maintained involvement well past their prime surfing years. This year’s inductees are: Chris Hazard, Dean Thompson, Sandy McNutt, Jeff Shields, Adam Showell, and Joe Lieb. Receiving the first ever Aloha Spirit award was OCSC board member, Tommy Vach. The 16th annual Longboard Team Challenge started off the competition at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. When the contest committee got to the beach at 6 p.m., conditions were almost flat. However, as the tide started to fill in and the wind picked up from the south, a small swell started to build and competition was on. The Team Challenge format is unique in that it pits two, five-person teams in the water at one time, separated by a buoy in the water. Halfway through a heat, the teams switch beaches and finish out the remaining time in the heat. In this way, both teams have a very high degree of fairness in judging, in that they are both judged by the same set of judges. A team’s total score is made up of each competitor’s highest wave score. With teams from both Ocean City and as far away as Virginia Beach and Carolina Beach, North Carolina, competition was fierce and fun. In the end, it
was the Carolina Beach Longboard Club and Team Malibu’s from Ocean City battling it out in the final, with CBLC taking the win. Tony Silvagni, Leigh Powell, Tom Cannon, Colby Crombie, and Kevin Penn will now have their names on the perpetual tiki trophy that stays in Ocean City. The third annual Walk Da Plank Longboard Pro got off to great start on Sunday morning, with a solid waist-tochest high south swell and offshore winds. The WDP pro is more of an individual contest with a double elimination first round. This format has the first round heats with three competitors, with the winner going to round three and the second and third place competitors getting another shot at advancing out of the second round. All heats after the first round are man-on-man heats. With competitors coming from as far away as New York and North Carolina, WDP is quickly becoming known as a solid venue for pro longboarding on the East Coast. The $4,750 prize purse is comparable to both national and international contest purses. Competition was very intense and many heats were extremely close. Conditions stayed excellent all day and in the end the results were: Tony Silvagni of North Carolina taking first place and the $1,500 jumbo check. In second, was Brier Haycox of the Virginia Longboard Federation with the $1,000 jumbo check. Third place went to Mike Melchiorre, also from Virginia, with $750. Fourth was Chris Makibbin and $500. Fifth place went to Tom Cannon from North Carolina with $400. Sixth place went to Roland Gerachis and $300. Seventh place went to Kevin Penn and $200 and rounding out the winners was Colby Crombie with $100.

This past winter Northside Park opened its doors on Thursday mornings to hold drop-in Pickleball, and every week the gym was crowded with participants with a waiting list to play.

Ninth annual Ocean City Air Show U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds take flight to wrap up Sat. and Sunday performances
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Ocean City’s ninth annual Air Show takes off this weekend, bringing combat aircrafts, World War II bomber planes and numerous other acrobatic displays to the resort. “Air shows are exciting. It’s so fun to be able to see the skill and talent that these pilots demonstrate in their airplanes,” said Cathy Bassett, press officer for the show. “From the aerobatic pilots who demonstrate loops and spins, to the military performers who showcase the latest generation fighter jets that are flying all over the world keeping us safe. We don’t get a chance to see these planes up close every day, so it’s a treat to be able to watch them while enjoying a day at the beach.” Although the show does not officially begin until Saturday, events have already kicked off, including breakfast with the performers starting at 8 a.m. today, Friday, at Layton’s Family restaurant on 16th Street. Tonight, a Jack Daniels Take Off
Party will take place at Brass Balls Saloon located between 11th and 12th streets on the Boardwalk beginning at 7 p.m. It is free to attend and open to the public. It will feature musical entertainment and a chance to meet pilots, jumpers and flight crews. In addition, a parachute jump will take place on the beach during the party. “These are opportunities for the general public to come out and meet some performers,” Bassett said. “These businesses are kind enough to host them throughout the week, while they are in town, and they invite the public to come and perhaps get an autograph or a photo with a performer.” On Saturday, the Ocean City Air Show launches with performances by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, B-25 Mitchell “Panchito” WWII Bomber, an L-39 Cold War era jet and more highflying acts. The display village lining the Boardwalk from 14th to 20th streets will open at 9 a.m. for guests to visit various information booths and talk to military recruiters about the Thunderbirds and other performances. Weather permitting, the air show will officially start at noon with the Thunderbirds taking to the sky at 3
p.m. for an hour performance. Residents and visitors are encouraged to visit City Hall on Third Street and Baltimore Avenue between 9-11 a.m. today, Friday, to meet pilots from the Thunderbirds. “The Thunderbirds are back in action after the accident and we are happy to have them flying out there with us,” said Jeff Boerboon, who will fly the Jack Link’s Screamin’ Sasquatch Jet Waco in the show. A Thunderbird jet crashed into a field outside Petersen Air Force Base in Colorado following their flyover for the Air Force Academy graduation on June 2, which caused a temporary stand-down and the cancellation of two appearances in New Mexico and Rhode Island prior to Ocean City’s event. It was announced on Monday they wound return to flight for the Ocean City Air Show. The Jack Link’s Screamin’ Sasquatch Jet Waco is a jet powered, vintage biplane. “It is a very unique and one-of-akind airplane,” Boerboon said. “There is a jet engine sitting underneath that you would normally find on a corpoSee OC Page 70

OC Air Show one of first to feature F-35 fighter plane Continued from Page 69 rate jet, which adds an additional 3,000 pounds of thrust. The 4,500 pounds of thrust allows me to fly it like a helicopter and accelerate going straight up. It is unlike anything else out there.” Along the beach, there will be a Jack Link’s monster truck on display and Sasquatch will be in attendance to hand out free samples of beef jerky. The Ocean City Air Show will be one of the first to showcase the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, which is a single-seat, single-engine stealth fighter with three main models designed to perform ground attacks, aerial intelligence and air defense missions. “We are honored that the U.S. Air Force has selected the OC Air Show to be one of the first air shows to feature the flight of an F-35,” said Bryan Lilley, president of the Ocean City Air Show. “Ocean City will be the first time in the Mid-Atlantic region where the general public will be able to see the future of Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aviation perform.” The F-35A conventional and landing version will be used by the Air Force, the F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing version will be utilized by the Marine Corps and the Navy will use the F-35C carrier-based version. “We are excited to be able to showcase the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter for its first flight at an air show in the MidAtlantic region,” Bassett said. “Most people have never seen one on the ground let alone screaming across the sky.” In addition, audiences will have the opportunity to see a demonstration of the U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet or Rhino, which is a twin-engine fighter aircraft and can carry air-toair missiles and air-to-surface weapons. “The F-18F Super Hornet added yet another marquee military jet demo to this year’s performer line up,” Lilley stated in a release. “We’re happy to have the U.S. Navy supporting the event once again in 2016.”

The public will have a rare opportunity to take rides in the B-25 Mitchell “Panchito” WWII Bomber during the show. For a $425 donation to the Delaware Aviation Museum Foundation, visitors will get the experience of what it was like to fly onboard the B25 Mitchell Bomber “Panchito.” The flights will take off from the Ocean City Airport today through June 19. The plane can seat up to five people and children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Call 443-458-8926 or email panchitoB25@aol.com to save a seat on the 30-minute flights. In addition, the Coast Guard will bring along its MH-65 Dolphine helicopter to demonstrate search and rescue missions for the crowd. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people watch the Ocean City Air Show from the Boardwalk, hotels, on the beach or on a boat in the ocean and
bay, Bassett said. “Last year there were hundreds of thousands on the beach and in boats in the ocean and the bay,” Bassett said. “It was awesome to see and we are expecting huge crowds this year for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds return to flight.” At the Air Show’s “Show Center” on the beach at 16th Street, spectators can hear commentary and enjoy great views from most spots along the Boardwalk and beach. Others take their boats on the water to catch a seaside view. Some special packages are still available for the Air Show, but they are selling quickly. Tickets start at $22 for “Drop Zone” seating and $139 for a Flight Line Clubhouse ticket. The VIP Skybox is sold out for Saturday and costs $239 for Sunday. “There are vendors and exhibits to explore along the Boardwalk and side streets. We always suggest families come early, bring beach chairs and sunscreen, and enjoy a patriotic day with some of the most experienced pilots in the world,” Bassett said. “We are always looking for volunteers to help manage all the moving parts of an air show. It’s a great way to be a part of the action, and help give something back to the Town of Ocean City. We are so grateful to all the volunteers and all the support we get from the various entities like the Town of Ocean City, the Coast Guard, the officials down at NASA Wallops, the Ocean City Airport, and everyone in between.” Visit www.ocairshow.com for more information.

Qualify for Fish Tales’ July 4 hot dog-eating event
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 17, 2016) There’s a little over two weeks remaining to qualify for Fish Tales Bar & Grill’s ninth annual Independence Day “Top Dog” hot dog-eating contest. Anyone 18 and older who is interested in competing in the July 4 event may stop by the 22nd Street bayside bar and restaurant at any time during the day to speedily consume five delistyle hot dogs and buns. A Fish Tales representative will time each participant, and the 20 people with the fastest times will advance to the finals, scheduled to take place Monday, July 4, at 1 p.m. The cost to take part in the qualifier is $5, which will go toward the prize money pot. No one has qualified yet, but last year’s third-place finisher, Eric Foster of Baltimore, who finished 17 franks and buns, wants to return and “redeem himself,” Brandon Hemp, Fish Tales manager and contest coordinator, said. “The past few years people have been late to qualify. It has been last minute, but we always seem to have people on stage eating hot dogs,” Hemp said. A stage will be assembled in the parking lot of Fish Tales for the competitive eaters who qualified for the July 4 main event, which is modeled after Nathan’s famous Fourth of July international contest. Fish Tales and Coors Light are sponsoring the event. Dietz & Watson will supply the hot dogs. Spectators of Fish Tales’ competition will be able to watch the 10minute gorgefest from bleachers set up in front of the stage. Hot dogs will be sold during the event and Coors Light specials will be offered. DJ BK is slated to emcee the competition again this year. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s neat to see people come out and cheer on their favorite competitor,” Hemp said. “I’d like to see a local person win it this year. Locals have placed, but no one has won it since the first year.” Area resident Ken Federighi won Fish Tales’ inaugural July 4 hot dog eating contest, devouring 16 and a half franks and buns. The “Top Dog” will win $1,000 and a trophy. Cash prizes will also be awarded to the second- and thirdplace finishers. Thirteen contestants stuffed their mouths with hot dogs and buns last year. The winner, defending champion David Brunelli of Philadelphia, ate 25 hot dogs to take home the trophy and $1,000. Jed Donahue of Charlotte, North Carolina, consumed 19.5 hot dogs, good for second place and $500. Foster received $250 for eating 17.

Powell Convention Center on 40th Street. There will be a variety of local vendors selling merchandise as well as informational and awards presentations all surrounding firefighting in this state. About 14,000 fire service members and their families come to town for the event each year, Siarnicki said. Several events highlight the annual MSFA gathering and one of the most popular is the parade along Baltimore Avenue. Around 400 units will take part in the procession on Wednesday, June 22, traveling from 16th to 30th Street starting at 1 p.m. Chick-fil-A representatives will be in attendance giving away free sandwiches to firefighters during the parade.

A family of four for both is $75. Visit www.msfa.org for additional packages and to reserve tickets in advance. “Every year, we have more and more activities for families,” Siarnicki said. “We want to build the whole family element at the beach and many members use this time in Ocean City to vacation. They receive some training while having an awesome Ocean City experience with their families.” Purse and Bag Bingo also takes place Monday. Doors open at the convention center Bayfront Ballroom at 5 p.m. for the games starting at 6 p.m. Admission is $22 in advance and $25 at the door, which includes six face cards for 20 games as well as a door prize ticket.

There is a shotgun start at 8 a.m. with complimentary beer provided on the course, prizes and a continental breakfast for $75. “We are really excited,” Siarnicki said. “It’s a great fundraiser for programs throughout the state.” To celebrate the arrival of firefighters in town, the Ocean City FOOLS — Fraternal Order of Leatherheads Society International for advanced firefighter training — will present its seventh annual block party to benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Cowboy Coast Country Bar and Steak House on 17th Street and Philadelphia Avenue will host the event on Tuesday, June 21 from 6:30 p.m. to close. A $10 entry fee includes a souvenir pint glass, food and drink specials throughout the night and live music. There will also be a 50/50 raffle and a mechanical bull-riding contest with
prizes awarded to the person who stays on the longest. The Franklin Square Band will perform along with Pipes and Drums and DJ Wax will also provide tunes. The Ocean City FOOLS keep the party going in the morning with its second annual 7 a.m. 5K run and walk on the Boardwalk at North Division Street.

Several events highlight the annual Maryland State Firemen’s Association gathering and one of the most popular is the parade along Baltimore Avenue. Around 400 units will take part in the procession on Wednesday, June 22, traveling from 16th to 30th Street starting at 1 p.m.
day, June 23, starting at 8:30 a.m. in the Bayfront Ballroom. There will be presentations throughout the event, such as Deputy Nate Passwaters presenting, “The Heroin Epidemic: New Perspectives,” on Monday where attendees will hear about how law enforcement is handling the rampant use of the drug and how they cooperate with Emergency Medical Services. Other talks include “Are We Really Operating Safe Fire Trucks” on Monday and “Carbon Monoxide Awareness” on Tuesday. “There are an array of instructors talking about fire service, safety, injury and community risk education,” Siarnicki said. The Convention Committee and the Ocean City FOOLS have teamed up to provide not only classroom sessions, but hands-on training opportunities as well.
“This year, there are a lot more hands-on live evolutions where firefighters are not just getting a tutorial, but they are doing something and using their skills,” Siarnicki said. “They perform activities such as pulling the hose or lines, putting on gear and using ladders.” A nearly two-hour “Gunshot Wounds” Tuesday class will go over the assessment and treatment of gunshot wounds. On Monday, a fourhour “H.O.S.E.” class teaches essential fundamentals such as proper hose stretching techniques and reading the building.

Grilled whole fish with lemon, herb vinaigrette
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (June 17, 2016) Summer is synonymous with grilling. So how does a whole fish basking in the aromas of charcoal goodness and topped with citrusy lemon herb vinaigrette sound? It’s quick and delightful and so, so good. Another crowd pleaser is the fact that whole fish usually costs less by weight than filets. Grilled whole fish is fresh, fun and makes for a spectacular presentation, yet the average American has not embraced this dish as part of
their daily repertoire of samplings. Other cultures know the sweet meat is divine and essential for a healthy diet. So I can only come to the conclusion that familiarity rides the tide of uncertainty. A few helpful hints build one’s level of confidence which in turn allows your guests to experience the bounties of the sea in a whole new way. If possible, purchase your fish the
same day you intend to grill it. Otherwise, pack it in ice, refrigerate, and cook within the next 24 hours. Make sure the guts, gills and scales are removed. If you have to remove the head and tail so the fish can fit the size of the grill, do not throw away these coveted parts. Freeze them for homemade fish stock. Preparing your fish for the cooking process is rather simple. You want to remove the fish from the refrigerator and allow it to come close to room temperature. Thirty minutes should be sufficient; you still want to have a slight chill.
Rinse well and pat dry with paper towels. Cut deep vertical scores at an angle all the way to the bone, repeating every inch-and-a-half from the back of the head to the tail. Scoring helps distribute the heat evenly and promote faster cooking. You can fill the cavity with fresh herbs and slices of lemon, limes or oranges. This not only adds to the flavor but also enhances the beautification of the dish. Coat the fish with olive oil and add kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. See COOKING Page 82

Cooking whole fish on grill intricate process Continued from Page 81 In the meantime, prep the grill. This means scrubbing and oiling the grates and building a medium-heat fire under it. This is a very important step and the fish really benefits from clean, welloiled grates. If this is your first time grilling a whole fish, you might consider a specialized fish basket for grilling. Cooking a whole fish is an intricate process and the basket does help facilitate the flipping of the fish. Amazon has these baskets at a reasonable price and is a great place to start looking. In addition, you can use the basket to grill vegetables and fruits. Lay the fish so the grates of the grill are perpendicular to the length of the body and grill for approximately 10 minutes. The skin of the
fish will start to stick to the grill at first. Let it cook and do nothing. The meat is very delicate and can quickly breakdown with unnecessary prodding and shifting. Carefully flip the fish and continue cooking for another 7 to 9 minutes. The cooking time will vary according to the intensity of the heat and width of the fish. The goal is to get the interior of the fish cooked and bring the skin to a state of crispiness at the same time. When the fish is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and place on a white, oval platter. Pour lemon, vinaigrette over it and serve immediately. The color of the grilled fish along with the lemon, herb vinaigrette will pop against the white color of the platter. A light dusting of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper is the final touch to a

2. Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. 3. Score the fish. Slice at an angle all the way to the bone, repeating every 1 ½ inches. Make sure you use an extra sharp knife; you want sashimi cuts, not mangled flesh. 4. Stuff the cavity with fresh herbs and lemon slices. Imagine you are an artist and do this with finesse. 5. Coat the fish with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. 6. Place the fish on a hot, oiled grill or place fish in a basket and place on grill. The crucial step is what you do after you place the fish on the grill. Patience is a virtue and one must wait. Resist the urge to move the fish around; you will lose some of the flesh and throw off the cooking time. 7. Using a basket or fish spatula, carefully flip the fish over after approximately 10 minutes. Cook until the skin is crisp on the other side, approximately 7 to 9 minutes. 8. Place fish on a platter and pour warm lemon, herb vinaigrette over the entire fish. Serve immediately.

ON GUARD
OCBP: Digging deep holes in sand can be dangerous
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (June 17, 2016) Whenever you go to the beach you are sure to see people of all ages digging in the sand. Digging a hole is normally viewed as a chore, however at the beach it suddenly becomes a fun way to pass the time. I have come to realize that most people have no idea about how dangerous digging deep holes in the sand can be. Lifeguards know that these holes – even fairly shallow ones – can collapse and kill. They monitor digging holes and will inform diggers that the sand can be a serious hazard. Lots of people dig holes or tunnels in the sand, but they don’t know their holes can quickly cave in and trap those inside. The rule is simple and straightforward: you can dig holes on the beach as long as they only take up a small area and are no deeper than the knees of the smallest person in the group. There is absolutely no tunneling allowed. Never leave your hole unattended and always fill it back in so it isn’t a hazard to others.
Seven summers ago in Ocean City, an 11-year-old boy attempted to dig a tunnel between two holes. The tunnel collapsed and he was buried alive, headfirst, with only his feet exposed. There was nothing he could do to save himself. The more he struggled the tighter packed the sand around him became. Lucky for him, a girl noticed the trouble and alerted a family member who began efforts to free the child from the sand that not only was trapping him but also taking his life. As several minutes passed, the situation became frenzied when the mom screamed for help. The scream of terror brought several nearby beach patrons to assist with unearthing the trapped child, however, these efforts were making little progress and in actuality were making the situation worse, which is usually the case with a bystander response. As the first lifeguards arrived on the scene they immediately went to work and with a more organized effort were able to recover the lifeless body of the boy. (This is a skill that surf rescue technicians (SRTs) are trained in and practice each season for emergencies See EVEN Page 84

ON GUARD
Even fairly shallow holes can collapse and kill Continued from Page 83 such as these.) They performed CPR and this story had a happy ending. In fact, we still keep in touch with the family who remains forever grateful. For some hole diggers, the story can have a deadly ending. We try to tell people about the dangers of digging holes in the sand before their, often-intricate, pit digging plans get too far underway. There is something about a day at the beach that makes people want to dig and most people don’t realize the dangers. Digging a shallow hole to lie down in and get covered up for a picture is funny and safe. But anything deeper than the knee is not. Out on the beach digging holes has become just another part of the vacation, like looking for sand crabs or eating fries on the Boardwalk. Our SRTs always do their best to monitor the different situations on their beaches, but on a day when the water is busy and the beach is crowded with umbrellas, diggers can make dangerous amounts of progress in the sand, not even realizing the potential for danger, before they are asked to fill in their holes. SRTs are often asked by hole diggers why deep holes are not allowed. Let us review the facts. Deep holes are dangerous just
about anywhere they are found and people usually try to avoid falling into them. Sand holes are particularly dangerous because they can collapse on the people digging them. Also, the vacation-oriented mindset of hole diggers clouds judgment and people tend to underestimate the possible dangers of jumping in and out of a giant sandpit. Many times, people want to get their picture taken in the hole that they dug not realizing that at any given moment the sand can cave in around them. Once a person is buried in the sand it is very difficult, if not impossible, to dig them out and have a positive outcome. Sand shifts back into place even as people try to move the sand off of a trapped victim. Interviewing several people that attempted to help the 11year-old boy referred to in the above, Ocean City emergency confirmed that this was exactly what was happening to them. As they feverishly attempted to remove the sand that was trapping the boy, more sand just as quickly took its place. One might be amazed that it would take 40 people 30 minutes to free a buried victim. Just as a person can drown in a small amount of water it does not take a very deep hole to trap a child and once trapped due to the
nature and instability of sand holes a person could perish before being freed. Hence the rule that the hole may only be as deep as the knee of the smallest person in the group of people digging the hole. I have heard some people say that people being buried alive under the sand is an old wives tale that lifeguards use to scare people into obeying a rule. Let’s look at the startling statistics. More than several dozen young people have been killed over the last decade on beaches in the United States when their hole or sand tunnel collapsed on them. Harvard researcher, Bradley Maron, who has been tracking sand hole collapses worldwide for the past decade says that 60 percent have been fatal. When you look at sand hole collapses worldwide the number dramatically increases and if you look at entrapments that do not end in the death of the trapped individual, the statistics would report hundreds each year. Interestingly, people always ask about sharks, which have never been a problem in Ocean City, however, national statistics comparing sand hole collapses to shark attacks confirms that you are far more likely to experience a sand hole collapse than a shark
attack. (A person has a 1 in 3,748,067 chance of a shark attack fatality). So instead of asking every lifeguard how many shark attacks there were this year, people should ask, how many sand hole collapses occurred. It is unbelievable that a vacation could end so tragically, but it does happen. Use your common sense and keep your hole digging to a safe depth. Remember, if you do dig a hole, never leave it unattended and make sure that you fill it in before you leave for the day. As our dunes are recovering from this past winter’s storm and trying to become more substantial, the dune grasses are flourishing. We are finding that children are being drawn to play in the dunes and dig. Although this has never been allowed, we want to urge parents and beach patrons to stay off the dunes to allow them to grow and continue to protect our beach. The Ocean City beach has one of the cleanest, finest sand you will find anywhere. Enjoy it, but please do so in a safe manner. One thing that you can always do to remain safe is limit beach activity to a time when lifeguards are on duty. Remember to always keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand; it could safe a life, yours!

‘Dine United OC’ benefits residents in need (June 17, 2016) United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore, in partnership with the Ocean City Hotel-MotelRestaurant Association (OCHMRA), The Embers Restaurant, Blu Crabhouse and Raw Bar and the Voice Radio Network, recently announced a new competition among Ocean City restaurants – “Dine United OC” – to benefit residents in need. This summer competition invites Eastern Shore residents and summer tourists to give back to the local community. As they visit Dine United OC participating restaurants and purchase food and drink specials, the restaurants will donate a portion of the proceeds to United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore in support of its 62 local programs, helping over 77,000 Lower Eastern Shore residents with their education, financial stability and health needs.
The competition kicked off on Wednesday, June 15, and will run through Labor Day. To close out the competition, United Way will hold an awards ceremony at Blu Crabhouse & Raw Bar in late September where winners will be announced for the most creative restaurant campaign, and the most successful in each category based on seating capacity. “We are ecstatic to bring this new competition to OC locals, tourists and restaurants,” said Cole Taustin, incoming United Way board member, Dine United OC committee chairperson and vice president of The Embers Restaurant and Blu Crabhouse & Raw Bar. “The restaurant business is very competitive, and this is a way for us to all work together on a common goal of helping to improve the community in which we do business. It’s a win-win for

the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation, who partners to present memorable performances and provide inspired arts education for all. This program is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Freeman Stage at Bayside also receives grant support for its programs from the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour, PNC Grow up Great, the Carl M. Freeman Foundation, the Sussex County Council, and the state of Delaware.

Brown Box Theatre Project tour comes to OC (June 17, 2016) Boston-based touring theater company, Brown Box Theatre Project, announces its sixth summer tour to Delmarva. First up is an edgy dramatic play, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Brilliant Traces,â&#x20AC;? by Cindy Lou Johnson coming to Ocean City in June. Rounding out the summer is Brown Boxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth annual outdoor Shakespeare production, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cymbeline,â&#x20AC;? performing throughout Delmarva this September. Both are produced by Brown Box Theatre Project and directed by Berlin native Kyler Taustin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brilliant Tracesâ&#x20AC;? is a play set in a remote cabin nestled in the Alaskan wilderness. The play opens with Henry Harry sleeping as a blizzard rages outside. When he is awakened by a pounding at the door, a dazed stranger (Rosannah) stumbles in without any explanation for her full bridal attire before falling asleep for two days. As Henry Harry cares for her, Rosan-
nah dissects her reckless non-stop drive from an Arizona wedding chapel to this cabin in Alaska. The two navigate each other within the confines of this tiny home as they begin to reconcile their own loneliness and grapple with wounded pasts, gnawing regrets, and desperate fears in their struggle for survival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is smart, beautiful, touching and thought-provoking, and its unique blend of abstract and linear structures make it an exciting challenge that allows the comedic circumstances, hidden secrets and dark pasts of its characters to shine through,â&#x20AC;? Taustin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brilliant Tracesâ&#x20AC;? will be performed in Ocean City, Saturday, June 18 through Monday, June 20 at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street. All performances start at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $25. Shakespeare production, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cymbeline,â&#x20AC;? will be performed this September. When Imogenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father banishes her
soulmate, the princess must embark on a quest to prove her fidelity, escape her stepmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dastardly plot and reclaim her love. â&#x20AC;?Cymbelineâ&#x20AC;? is brimming with forbidden romance, mistaken identities, jealousy, vile trickery, poison, disguises and epic swordfights. A theatrical feast that defies genre lines, â&#x20AC;?Cymbelineâ&#x20AC;? delicately blends tragedy, comedy and romance into an enchanting and unforgettable Shakespearian fairy tale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cymbelineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has the romance of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Romeo and Juliet,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the ferocity of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Macbeth,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the intrigue of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hamlet,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; all encompassed in one Shakespearean gem,â&#x20AC;? Taustin said. Brown Box Theatre Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to bring high quality theatre to commu-
nities that otherwise lack access to the performing arts. The constant goal in all its programming is to bring down barriers that separate potential audiences from live theatre and to introduce the performing arts to the widest audience possible. Funding for the summer programming is provided in part by the Maryland State Arts Council, the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, the Talbot County Arts Council (which include the towns of Easton and Oxford), and the Worcester County Arts Council, organizations dedicated to cultivating a vibrant cultural community where the arts thrive.

Resort museum opens ‘The Stormy Sixties’ new exhibit
(June 17, 2016) The Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museum recently opened a new temporary exhibit paying tribute to “The Stormy Sixties.” This display focuses on events, lifestyles and growth of that tumultuous time. The 1960’s was a decade of change for America and a very memorable one for Ocean City. Although only one man, Hugh T. Cropper, presided as mayor (1959-1970) the town went through many changes, development and challenges. There were riots, storms, cool fashions, condominiums and as always, a whole lot of fun. In fact, the 1960 O.C. Bureau of Information touted Ocean City as “The Hospitality Resort with Family Fun at Family Prices.” This exhibit should be nostalgic for all of the “Baby Boomers” out there. Who could forget fun times at The Beach Club, sing-a-longs at The Irish House, your first trip to the newly opened Frontier Town or a ride through Trimper’s Haunted House? Remember the taste of Ernie’s Donuts or a delicious steak at Mario’s? Do you recall dancing to music of bands like The Admirals or The Red Notes? Included in the display are many photographs, postcards and advertising from local businesses of that time. Some establishments vanished long ago while others are continuing to operate under the next generation of family members. All was not fun and games during the
60s. The Labor Day Riots started things off and then in March of 1962 Ocean City endured a devastating Nor’easter that blew through town. Segregation was ending and the war in Vietnam was beginning. In an interview with Bunk Mann for his book, “Vanishing Ocean City,” a local resident recalled a memory of the Labor Day Riot; “We were living over Soriano’s at the time and Art was called to the Fire Department. I was on the second floor porch and I could see the hoards of people coming down Baltimore Avenue. It was scary – I’d never experienced anything like it in my lifetime and my husband was out there in the middle of it hosing them down.” (Janice Davis, wife of Ocean City Firefighter, Art Davis). Another quote from Mann’s book deals with happier memories; “I got my first job at the Funcade Casino selling skeeball tickets and in 1969 I was elevated to cashier. I was the guy at the change booth and in the days before cell phones I was at the center of activity on 9th Street. In those days 9th Street was the center of the universe! Everybody would leave messages with me to pass on to their friends and I knew where every party was.” (Rick Meehan, current mayor of Ocean City). The museum is located at 813 S. Atlantic Avenue on the Boardwalk at the inlet, and is now open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 410289-4991 or visit www.ocmuseum.org.

Commentary
Insensitivity and loss of perspective
Were it not for the sensitive nature of the situation, Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt. Butch Arbin ought to tell those who would see him disciplined for a recent email to take Ocean City’s 10 miles of sand and pound it. But no, at a time when presidential candidates routinely elicit cheers from the crowd by saying outrageously insensitive things, when others express their opinions through monstrous acts of violence, when shooting people is just one of those things that happen in a free and open society, we have to take special care that we don’t put a toe over the line of hurting anyone’s feelings. It is exceptionally difficult and maybe impossible for anyone to practice complete awareness of every slice and sliver of the human condition when it is outside of his or her personal experience. Yet, that is expected these days and we are supposed to react with great dismay when it doesn’t happen. In this instance, here is a person who, as a Beach Patrol member and captain for 40 years, is responsible for having saved thousands of lives. He did not stop first to ascertain the potential drowning victims’ political or personal points of view, or wondered whether one life might have more value than another. But now, because of an email wisecrack that some people consider demeaning, possibly, he is pilloried as an example of what’s wrong with society and deserves to be punished. One thing wrong with society in these turbulent times isn’t Arbin or anyone like him, but is the increasingly delicate dance of public discourse at a time when those who seek tolerance are themselves intolerant. It is, in a way, like the nude beach fiasco on Assateague Island some three decades ago. For years, an isolated stretch of beach there served as a gathering spot for people who wished to lie in the sun sans clothing. That changed when a Virginia man learned of it, hiked miles to see if it was true and then returned to report to authorities that he had been greatly offended by what he saw. Did Arbin step over the line, as has been said? Not really. He is just as much a victim of society as the people who took offense at what he wrote. The politicians can feign their usual disapproval and critics can hike miles to find the trouble they seek to correct, but it appears we have reached the point where our concern with insensitivity has cost us our perspective.

Another end of the world The end of days, according to numerous clairvoyants, certain religious groups and students of the metaphysical universe, is upon us. Again. These various prognosticators say they have seen the signs, which include earthquakes, freaky weather, strange maladies and screwy political circumstances around the globe, and have concluded the end of the world is coming special delivery to us. Personally, I would feel more inclined to go along with it if they said someBy thing more compelling, like, Stewart “The end of the world is near, and this time we really Dobson mean it” or if it turned out a couple of weeks ago that one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse won the Belmont Stakes. “And down the stretch he comes … uh-oh. What th…?” But no, this is just another of your basic planetary disintegrations that, according to my count, has happened to us approximately 237 times in the past couple of centuries without much fanfare. That’s the interesting thing about the world ending. Apparently, it happens all the time while we aren’t paying attention. The truth is, though, I use to sweat things like that back as a youth, when one group or sect or another would pronounce that it would be all she wrote by the next day or so. “Did you brush your teeth?” one of my par-
PUBLIC EYE
ents asked before I was sent off to bed. “I don’t think tooth decay is our biggest problem,” I replied. Or, my mother would ask as I headed off to school to join all those happily ignorant members of the sixth grade dodge ball set, “Do you have on clean underwear?” “Well, for now.” Over the years, however, I got used to the world ending and stopped worrying about being converted into a cluster of space traveling meatballs or, if global explosions were not on the apocolyptic agenda, being swallowed by the cracks of doom. Don’t get me wrong. Even though I no longer worry about the world going kaput, I don’t make fun of people who repent. It’s a good thing to seek forgiveness for things done wrong. Like, for instance, predicting the world will end and, when it doesn’t, not saying you’re sorry for the misunderstanding. “The world didn’t end yesterday, as I predicted, and I apologize for the error. Maybe tomorrow we’ll get it right.” One end of days prediction, however, goes in a different direction and says the world doesn’t go away exactly, but is kind of reconfigured. In this scenario, the earth remains as is, but the female of the species will rule life. In other words, no change, at least not in my world. Despite all this, I know the world has to end some day, but we don’t have to go all crazy about it. Do as I do, take it stride, go about your life and always, always have clean underwear at the ready. For now, anyway.

High school programs look to place students Short-term stays can often develop into continuing friendships, organizers say
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (June 17, 2016) Two student exchange organizations are seeking families interested in opening up their homes to high school students from abroad this fall. The SHARE! High School Exchange Program is looking for families who are culturally curious to host students from more than 30 countries. The high school exchange program was started in 1980 by the nonprofit Educational Resource Development Trust, and was recognized as such by the United States Information Agency (now operated by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs). The organization places approximately 700 students each year with American families to attend high school in the U.S. The trust, meanwhile, also sponsors other programs including short-term home stays and outbound programs for American high school students. SHARE! Northeast Regional Coordinator Brenda Hornberger, who has been host to more than 30 students,

has made lifelong friends through her participation in the program. “My husband and I have been hosting kids since 1993,” she said. “It’s been a lifelong experience, not just they’re here and gone.” Over the last two plus decades, Hornberger said the couple has attended weddings, baptisms and in general shared the life experiences of students they have hosted. “You get as much from having those kids in your home as they get out of being in your home,” she said. “I’m a different person now.” Her experiences with a multitude of students from numerous cultures also had led Hornberger to realize that common stereotypes are often inaccurate. For example, she said of the number of German students who have stayed with her family, few have shown an interest in consuming sauerkraut. “We’ve had Norwegians who don’t like salmon,” she said. Her biggest life lesson came two years ago when hosting a Muslim student, which help give her family a personal perspective on the culture. “They are all not radical terrorists,” she said. “The average Muslim is just as terrified about what’s going on right now.” When people of different cultures

interact directly, Hornberger said it becomes obvious that our commonalities outnumber our differences. “They look at what the media is putting out there from a different perspective,” she said. Another group looking to locate host families for exchange students is the ASSE International Student Exchange Program. Formerly known as the American Scandinavian Student Exchange, it was founded more than 30 years ago by the Swedish National Department of Education. The nonprofit agency works with area high schools and host families to provide a cultural education for boys and girls from ages 15 to 18 from more than 60 countries. Mia Waller, ASSE coordinator for Maryland and Virginia, said in her region approximately 500 students will arrive stateside a week before the fall semester, but there is still ample time to host a student this year. “We place students until the end of August,” she said. Her organization also sponsors American students who would like to pursue academic goals while broadening their cultural perspective. She said ASSE’s mission is to encourage a global perspective through its cross-cultural educational programs that last a semester or an entire academic year.
“For American teens, we have short summer stays of three months up to a whole school year,” she said. The students must obtain a J-1 visa to temporarily reside in the U.S. and are screened by ASSE representatives, school administrators and teachers before being admitted into the program. To be selected, students must exhibit excellent character and be proficient in English, with at least three years of language studies. ASSE requires students to have medical and liability insurance, while their parents provide money to spend during their travels. Potential host families can preview the student’s application packet, which includes an autobiographical essay, academic records, photographs and a certificate of health. Waller said the families are also carefully screened, starting with an initial interview with an ASSE area representative, along with an application, which examines their lifestyle and includes a criminal background check. Also a letter of reference from a community organization, like a church or service club, and two letters from friends or neighbors attesting to the family’s character are required. “We perform background checks, as well as multiple home visits and monthly check-ins,” she said.
