Weekend airs it out Air Show brings hordes of visitors, lots of traffic and seriously packed beach
Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) If the bumper-to-bumper traffic and shoulder-to-shoulder beach didn’t tip you off about how unusually full Ocean City was last weekend was, consider the following phrase: “world’s highestgrossing Hooters.” Growth in visitorship leading up to the Ocean City Air Show meant that guests at the Boardwalk Hooters and Fifth Street ate more wings and things and drank more beverages than anyone
else at any of the 460 Hooters in the United States and all the others on the planet, outside of Vegas. “Of all the stores across the world, with the exception of the Hooters Casino in Las Vegas, the Boardwalk location was the number-one in sales last week,” said Matt Ortt, director of operations for both the Boardwalk and West Ocean City franchises. “It actually wasn’t our biggest week ever, but it just happened to be bigger than all the other Hooters,” Ortt See SENIOR on Page 5

STEWART DOBSON/OCEAN CITY TODAY
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Public school teachers and support staff will be getting an increase in pay in the new fiscal year, following the Worcester County Board of Education’s decision Wednesday to shift $1.9 million from other areas of its budget to cover the unbudgeted expense. Despite some post-decision celebrating by beneficiaries of the board’s action, the maneuver did come with a cost: 13 education assistants were cut and other positions will not be filled. ‘Each of these A total of 32 jobs directly 32 positions supported a were eliminated in the student’s deal, but the education.’ bulk of those Superintendent — 19 in all — Jerry Wilson are coming from retirements or resignations according to schools’ spokeswoman Barb Witherow. The cuts include 1.5 administrator positions and 17.5 teacher jobs. “Each of these 32 jobs directly supported a student’s education,” said Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson. “Their losses affect our community and mean fewer resources for students, but we have been determined to pay our employees.” Salaries for Worcester County teachers have slipped from 11th to 16th in the state over the past couple years, are below the state average and teachers have received only a half percent increase in their salary for six consecutive years, according to Vince See TEACHERS on Page 3

Teachers’ Ass’n says 97 percent approve of deal Continued from Page 1 Tolbert, the school board’s chief financial officer. The $102 million operating budget proposed to the Worcester County Commissioners was $4 million more than last year’s total and included salary increases for teachers and staff. The county commissioners, however, denied that request, when they adopted a maintenance of effort budget on June 2 with only an increase for health insurance costs. Maintenance of effort is a state law requiring counties to spend an equal amount per pupil year over year to prevent them from slashing school
‘We have been forced into a terrible dilemma and made some difficult decisions’ School Board President Robert Rothermel funding and balancing their budgets by diverting that money to other areas. The county contributed $78.6 million to schools for the current fiscal year and allocated $79.1 million for the schools for fiscal year 2016. In response to the county's decision not to budget the pay increases, teachers in each of the county’s 14 schools organized and executed a “work to rule” protest. A petition calling for the implementation of the increases also was started by Stephen Decatur High School students and gathered more than 1,000 signatures. Subsequently, members of the school board, the Worcester County Teachers Association and the Worcester County Education Support Personnel Association had to negotiate a new agreement. The new terms, based on the $98.9 million education budget the commissioners approved, provides either one step for employees or a one percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) if an employee is not eligible for a step.

Senior weekers fade out with Air Show crowds Continued from Page 1 said. “I feel Ocean City this year has been a lot stronger, as far as the crowds and the business.” This past weekend, it showed, with much of the resort filled to capacity. “Hotel-wise, we did sell out,” said Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. “All our member hotels were booked and we started to give out non-member numbers to people who called.” At Ropewalk, the restaurant that just recently took over the old Fresco’s space between 82nd and 83rd Streets, there was a half-hour wait for dinner on Friday and Saturday. This isn’t unusual anywhere in Ocean City, but considering that it
was only Ropewalk’s third weekend open, its first weekend serving a full menu, and the fact that it has 600 seats to fill, it was quite a feat. “We don’t even have our sign up yet,” said co-owner Chris Reda. “A half-hour wait is good. I’m sure other places had much longer waits, but for our first fully-operational weekend, I can’t complain.” Not only has the air show become a valuable economic boost for Ocean City, it’s also become a key marker for the beginning-of-the-end of the “senior week” phenomenon, when the resort is packed with high school and college graduates whose demeanor often leaves much to be desired. “There is definitely a group that can get out of control. You have to stay on your toes,” Ortt said. “The
week leading up to the air show was just about all June-bugs at the Boardwalk location. But once the air show people came into town, the June-bugs kind of faded into the distance because it brought in so many more families.” Although most businesses expect the influx of recent graduates to last through next weekend, the air show provides a welcome boost of less volatile customers. “There definitely have been a lot of stories of destruction with the seniors this year,” Jones said. “I have some members that say they may not rent to anyone under a certain age again, because of the destruction of the rooms, and they only pull in a few thousand dollars from it anyway.” Law enforcement activity was still
high this past weekend, on par with the weekend before. Officer-initiated service over the Thursday-through-Sunday of this past week, June 11 to 14, totaled 1,672 actions, compared to 1,740 over the same four-day span a week earlier. Citizen calls actually climbed to 850 during the four-day air show practice and performance period, versus 688 the week prior. Arrests also grew by about a third, from 90 over June 4 to 7 to 120 this past weekend, including 32 drug arrests. Although the city’s demoflush formula, which measures population based on wastewater, is imprecise, flows in the resort peaked last weekend around 28 percent higher than the flow peak from the previous weekend.

Dredging needs get $250K boost from Corps Special allocation from remaining Sandy money will address shoaling
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Commercial and recreational fishermen who have had trouble entering and exiting the Ocean City Inlet because of incessant shoaling can breathe a little easier as the Army Corps of Engineers has made $250,000 available to pay for intermittent dredging. “The money is being allocated now, but that’s not to say work will begin immediately,” Sarah Gross, public affairs specialist with the Army Corps of Engineers said Tuesday. Action began on the issue after H
commercial fisherman Joe Letts said he was forced to move his fleet into New Jersey to avoid potential damage and delays because of shoaling at the inlet. Some of the larger commercial boats, and most recently the vessel contracted to map the ocean floor beneath leased property for an offshore wind farm, are subject to wait for high tide to traverse the inlet. The survey boat was delayed for 12 hours. “The requested $250,000 allows for special usage from Wilmington,” Gross said, “It’s still [Superstorm] Sandy recovery money.” Pursuing advanced maintenance funds to finance more frequent dredging of the inlet was the first of three steps identified at an April meeting organized by Delegate Mary Beth Carozza and attended by fed-
eral, state and local elected officials, commercial fishermen and government employees. “Operations will be performed whenever they can get out and do it. How many trips the money will fund is a function of how much material and the scope of the removal effort,” Gross said, “This is a Band-Aid until we can do something more substantial.” The depth of the inlet is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers and is approved for a depth of 10 feet, plus and additional two feet of overdraft. Regular dredging is necessary to maintain that depth as the inlet continues to fill with sand and sediment. In April, Corps Project Manager Bob Blama said he would attempt to secure funds to dredge the inlet to a

total depth of 14 feet. Blama said the ideal situation would be to take the entire inlet down to a depth of 14 feet, but the way the funding works and the availability of the dredge won’t allow for that at this time. “I can go down to 14, but the way this is working, I’m only getting the dredge sporadically,” Blama said, “We’re working in a timeframe. If I have a hotspot that’s only seven or eight feet, we’re going to take it down as far as we can in the allotted time.” The county as well as other interested parties sent letters of intent to the Army Corps of Engineers late last month asking them to act on a 1998 study recommending dredging to a permanent depth between 14 and 16 feet. The local share of funding for such a project is expected to be around 10 percent of the total cost. A new study, also requested in the letter of intent, to pinpoint the source of the shoaling sediment, would carry a cost-sharing aspect of about 35 percent local funding. Whether that funding can be provided as an in-kind donation, by Worcester County providing a site to dispose of the dredged material, for example, will be answered when the county signs a project contract for a more permanent solution to the sediment problem.

Cambridge man arrested after Teal Drive break-ins Kemonte Shiles, 23, accused of accosting sleeping residents, including city manager’s kids By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) In a bizarre series of events early last Saturday, a Cambridge man has been charged with breaking into two homes on Teal Drive and inappropriately touching sleeping residents, including the 16year-old daughter of Ocean City’s city manager, David Recor. Kemonte L. Shiles, 23, was arrested and charged by the Ocean City Police Department after he allegedly broke into the home, which the Recor family leases in the Mallard Island neighborhood, off 15th Street. Shiles is also believed to have broken into the adjacent property, owned by the Phillips family. “This was less of a burglary, and more just creepy,” Recor said afterward. “The police found a lot of fingerprints. He left a trail. For some reason, he was wandering through our home in the middle of the night.” According to court charging documents, the OCPD received a call at 2:17 a.m. Saturday for a burglary having just occurred. According to the report, police were informed that Recor’s youngest daughter had awoken to find Shiles, described as a skinny black male, inside her bedroom, which he entered via a sliding glass door. Shiles allegedly told the girl that he was her “cousin TJ” from Cambridge, the report said, and then made a sexually explicit comment toward her before touching her leg and kissing her shoulder. She yelled at Shiles to leave. The sound of voices alerted Recor’s elder daughter, who had just returned home from work, and who escorted Shiles out of the house, police were told. Believing that Shiles could still be in the area, Recor said afterward that he and his eldest daughter got in his car and drove around the neighborhood, where they spotted Shiles.
When he tried to confront him, Recor said, Shiles ran. “He clearly didn’t know the area, because he ran toward the center of the neighborhood,” Recor said. Mallard Island is actually a peninsula, which Teal Drive loops around, and is joined to 15th Street at a single, narrow point. “There’s only one way in and out, so we drove down to the end of Teal Drive and waited to make sure he didn’t get out,” Recor said. “It was only a minute before some bicycle officers were able to get on scene and start searching.” Recor also said he checked footage from a security camera on the side of his house, which showed Shiles kicking down a fence between Recor’s home and the Phillips’ property. The OCPD report said that officers subsequently interviewed a man staying at the Phillips property, who had a similar experience. The man awoke to find Shiles allegedly touching his foot. When he screamed, Shiles told the man to keep quiet, and that he was hungry. The Phillips’ houseguest gave Shiles some fruit, the report said, after which Shiles fled the property. According to the report, police spotted Shiles walking down the street while speaking with the Phillips’ guest, at which point Shiles was apprehended. He appeared to be heavily intoxicated, police said. Shiles also allegedly stole a tricycle from the Phillips property, riding it a short way down Teal Drive before discovering it was broken and leaving it in the road, police reported. Shiles was booked on two counts of fourth-degree burglary, one count of third-degree burglary, one count of theft, and one court of second-degree assault. He is being held ahead of a preliminary hearing, scheduled for July 10. “I could not be more proud of my daughters and the way they handled this,” Recor said. “They were calm, cool, and collected. Everyone is doing good. We’re trying to move on and enjoy the summer.”

New street performer regs get final passage Some restrictions loosened, but space rotation system still set to begin July 27
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) It’s official — the city’s sweeping new street performer regulations will begin July 27. The comprehensive new ordinance, roughly nine months in the making, passed its final reading before the city council on Monday night. The key provision of the new legislation is a requirement that all buskers wishing to perform on the Boardwalk from Ninth Street south must register at City Hall for a designated location. From the inlet to Ninth Street, 33 spaces have been tentatively identified that will limit, it is hoped, the blockage of stores and pedestrian progress while still allowing interested performers ample opportunities. The spaces range in size from 25 to 100 square feet, and will be rotated twice per week, requiring performers to come to city hall to register. The idea, the city says, is to cut down on congestion on the Boardwalk’s most crowded stretch. The city believes the regulation meets previous court mandates, which have ruled against the city previously, for
limiting freedom of speech, since anyone not taking part in the rotation system will still have an opportunity to express themselves as long as they do it north of Ninth Street. Despite multiple questions from street performers themselves, there was a strong outpouring of support from Boardwalk businesses in favor of the basic idea of compromise. “It’s created an environment that I hope all of us can live with,” said Bruce Krasner, owner of several Tshirt and gift shops on the Boardwalk. “I think it will work out in the end. In the beginning, I was a staunch opponent of having any buskers at all, but given time I think we can work together.” In order to cut down on the increasing number of performers encroaching on public ways and habitually blocking access to brickand-mortar businesses, the city would have performers come to City Hall twice a week to sign up for a spot, under a system to be managed by the city clerk. Signups would begin at 9 a.m. on a given Monday for spaces to be used the following Monday through Thursday. Likewise, signups for the following Friday through Sunday would begin at 9 a.m. the preceding Friday. “No one is trying to discourage free speech at all, under any circum-
stance,” said Vicki Barrett, longtime head of the Boardwalk Development Association. “But I think the merchants have as much right to continue making their living. Over the past few years they have struggled, and the reports, at least to me, are that they are losing thousands of dollars. The contribution the buskers make is huge, but I think it needs to be regulated to the point where the merchants aren’t suffering.” Some administrative details will likely need to be fine-tuned, such as exactly how the signup process will work. “If you have 20 people waiting at the clerk’s office ... what’s going to be the process if you get everyone there at the same time — how are the spots going to be distributed?” asked caricaturist Mike Moeller. “We expect it’ll be based on a line, and the clerk will go through the line and it’ll be first come, first serve to pick spots,” said Council President Lloyd Martin. The ordinance stipulates that no performer can be placed in the same spot for two rotations in a row. One of the major intents of the ordinance is to provide a mix of performers, addressing recent problems in which performers would stake out lucrative spots for the entire summer. Further, under the new policy, no performance materials may be left unat-

tended for more than 15 minutes. The new legislation also enacts a number of use restrictions not only over the designated spaces from Ninth Street south, but also from Tenth Street north, where performers are allowed to operate on any of the open areas at street-ends without going through the city clerk. Some of those elements have been tweaked after performers said they were too restrictive, including the restriction on the size of props used increased to five feet in height. “It seems like those concerns were addressed to a certain degree, so thank you,” said Moeller, who was concerned about the height of his easel. “I still think this is too restrictive, but I appreciate that it was considered.” The sign-up requirement will also only be in effect between May 1 and Sept. 30 of any given year. “The idea of the ordinance is that it’s too congested in the south end below Ninth Street, but it isn’t in the off-season,” said Councilman Dennis Dare. “To go through the whole process in the off-season seems unnecessary.” The new policy was formulated after several months of hearings by a city task force, appointed to address the street performer issue, and advised by constitutional law firm VenSee CITY Page 9

City says sign-up to be first-come, first-served basis Continued from Page 8 able, LLC. Venable was hired to advise the city in the wake of several lawsuits which threw out the previous licensing system for street performers on First Amendment grounds. In a 2011 ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Hollander found that Ocean City’s licensing policy did not serve any codified public need, other than for the city to hold leverage over street performers. The plaintiff in that case, spraypaint artist Mark Chase, was appointed as a member of the recent city task force on the matter, although he objected to many of the committee’s findings. The regulations also exempt any group distributing expressive materials, but not vending them, such as political groups distributing fliers or buttons. All other performers, whether seeking compensation or not, must comply.
Delmarva Power to discuss steel pole upgrades
(June 19, 2015) Delmarva Power will hold community meetings to provide details on its plan to enhance electric service in Wicomico and Worcester counties by rebuilding a high-voltage transmission line between the company’s substations in Salisbury and Berlin. Meetings will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 23 at Delmarva Power, 2530 N. Salisbury Boulevard. in Salisbury, and at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 25 at Pittsville Fire Hall, 7442 Gumboro Road in Pittsville. Delmarva Power will invest approximately $25 million to rebuild a 24-mile, 69 kilovolt power line. A total of 360 structures, which range in height from 40 to 70 feet, will be replaced with steel pole structures that are 55 to 120 feet tall. Steel poles are more durable, require less maintenance and can withstand hurricane force winds of 120 mph. “Most of the current infrastructure was built in the early 1950s and is due to be upgraded, so it is important that we undertake this project to maintain and improve the reliability of the transmission system” John Allen, Delmarva Power region vice president, said. Work is scheduled to begin in August or September of this year with completion targeted for May 2017.

Wilson also pointed to the city’s pledge last year to better organize its joint property enforcement committee – known by the acronym PRESS – as needing time to work. Describing the need for new zoning as “premature,� Wilson said “the town has regulations to reprimand tenants and landlords when violations occur ...

Realtors that issues with tenants are not being properly addressed by the city, the logical solution from the city’s end would be to create a policy that allows the issue to be cut off at the head if it is proven to be, as residents claim, uncontrollable. “Most the things I’ve heard tonight from the opposition support a situation where you don’t have these problems that need to be solved,� Taylor said. The commission, as well as R-1A advocates, were further skeptical of the argument presented by Realtors that rental restrictions would reduce property values, since clients would be unwilling to pay for property they could not use to generate income. Rather, the limited market for nonvacation housing would drive the value of R-1A homes up, advocates said. “The more limited the supply, the higher the value tends to be,� said Mallard Island resident Ed Smith, himself a Realtor and owner of a real estate licensing and continuing education school. “If a small subdivision were to obtain R-1A zoning, there would still be thousands of homes that investors could buy and rent.� Roughly 5 to 6 percent of Ocean City’s housing stock is in existing R-1 zones, Buckley said.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) When you mix a lot of hot air with loads of cool water, you don’t just get a recipe for fixing Congress, sometimes you get a stuck bridge too. The Town of Ocean city reported via its Twitter account on Tuesday morning that the Harry Kelley drawbridge was stuck in the “up” position, and that the problem had been resolved a few minutes later. While the phenomenon was not new, it was a novel incident in Ocean City in one respect. “When the bridge tender closes the drawbridge it has to seat properly — a sensor has to say it’s OK,” David Buck of the State Highway Administration said, “What we’ve never seen in Ocean City is the significant difference between the air and water temperatures affecting the sensor.” The sensor is attached to a metal spring that must compress to a certain degree for the sensor to show the bridge is seated properly for safe travel. The warmer air, measuring almost 80 degrees near the time of the incident by www.wunderground.com,
caused the metal spring to expand; the cooler water, measured at about 67 degrees around the same time by NOAA, was enough to play havoc with the sensor’s tolerances. The bridge, which may have been seated properly, was still showing the bridge was in the “up” position. The fix is somewhat underwhelming. “We just had to reopen and reclose the bridge,” Buck said, “The operator let off the button too early. If it was held down for a couple of seconds longer it would have seated properly.” Buck said the incident was a “little bit of operator error and a little bit miscalibrated sensor.” A potentially more exciting fix Buck suggested would be to “get out there with a fire hose and cool everything down,” but instead the State Highway Administration said it would send someone out on Wednesday to adjust the sensor. “We know what it is because we’ve seen it on other bridges,” Buck said, “We just need to convince the sensor the difference is much less than what it is.”
Residents say unenforceable situation justifies revisions Continued from Page 12 percent are single-family homes. “There are 268 rental units in R-1 districts,” Knight said. “To answer the real estate agents – who do not have a community interest, but rather a financial interest in this – there will not be an impact on the market. Visitors will still have over 20,000 condo units to choose from.” From a legal standpoint, the discussion of the current ordinance should not hinge on any given scenario in which a given area becomes an R-1A zone, as the ordinance does not prescribe that any given neighborhood must be re-zoned as such. “This isn’t being imposed on any-
one,” Taylor said. “This is an option people can choose for themselves if necessary, and I don’t know why we can stand in their way.” Commissioners Chris Shanahan and John Staley voted against moving forward with the R-1A ordinance, although both said they were not necessarily against it, but needed to more time to think about what was said rather than taking a vote at the hearing. The ordinance will still need to be approved at two public hearings before the City Council before it becomes codified. OC Today Editor Stewart Dobson is a Mallard Island resident, but did not participate in the hearing.

ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY
The new Ocean City Beach Patrol headquarters on Dorchester Street and Philadelphia Avenue is complete, with the OCBP likely to start move-in this weekend.
Beach patrol building mostly complete, ready for turn-over New headquarters replaces dilapidated structures to be used for OCDC development By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Roughly three weeks behind schedule, but within its budget, the new Ocean City Beach Patrol Headquarters may already be occupied by the time this hits newsstands. “It’s a day-by-day thing for us to be able to turn it over to the beach patrol,� City Engineer Terry McGean said Tuesday. “There were a couple minor things to fix with the fire marshal. Hopefully they’ll be in by the end of the week.� Although a bit behind its original Memorial Day completion date, the new facility stayed within the city’s budget of just over $2 million, despite tight estimates and a lack of buffer funds. “We managed to stay under budget,� McGean said. “There were no major change orders. It worked out pretty well.� The new building, on the southeast corner of Talbot Street and Philadelphia Avenue, provides the OCBP with roughly 9,500 square feet of space with meeting and training rooms, offices and equipment storage. More important than the size, however, is simply being a new building as opposed to the current OCBP headquarters one block south on Dorchester Street. The decades-old building was formerly the city’s police headquarters, but was abandoned by the Ocean City Police Department in 1991 when the 65th Street complex was built. In the fall of 2013, the city council
was convinced — given the chronic issues of peeling paint, mold, asbestos and general rot at the hand-me-down headquarters — to borrow funds to construct a new facility. The Ocean City Development Corporation, the city-sponsored nonprofit focused on urban redevelopment, and which has a vested interest in keeping beach patrol operations downtown, provided the land to build the new facility. OCDC will contribute 35 percent toward repayment of the $2 million borrowed. In return, OCDC will be taking over the old beach patrol property, which will be demolished once move-in at the new beach patrol facility is complete. The city also helped to finance OCDC’s purchase of several properties along Somerset Street, adjacent to the old beach patrol headquarters. These buildings were demolished last month, and will be used this season for parking. Once the beach patrol building comes down, the collected parcel will be used as part of the model block program, in which OCDC hopes to design a mixed-use project that will spark downtown renewal. Although the installation of office furniture should happen soon, McGean said, most of the moving work at the new facility will occur at the end of the season, when guards bring back all the equipment issued to them for the summer. “All their equipment is already in the field,� McGean said. “All they’ll have to do is put all the equipment back into the new building at the end of the summer.� A ribbon cutting and public tour of the new building will likely happen in July, McGean said.

Arcade owners await possible regulatory fix Despite ease-up, new state gaming rules still burden on family amusements, OC says
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Although the state appears to have eased up a bit, Ocean City arcade owners are still pressing to have family amusements carved out from impending regulations that would put certain types of arcade machines under the licensing control of the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Commission. The MLGC regulations will likely come up for public comment and
promulgation at the end of this month, with policy in place by next year, at the earliest. “We’d definitely like family entertainment centers to be exempted from control by the lottery commission,” Chris Trimper of Trimper’s Amusements said. “I don’t necessarily have a problem registering my games, but I don’t particularly want Maryland lottery registration stickers on all my skee-ball machines. It puts a bad taste in people’s mouths.” Last year, the state authorized the creation of a new regulatory classification for the MLGC, to be known as “electronic gaming devices.” These were any devices that distributed in-
kind prizes of more than $30 in value, and would be subject to strict inspection, registration, and quarterly reporting requirements. The intent of the definition, it was said, was to create some sort of control over the gray-market gambling devices that are found in malls or stores in some areas of the state. Those machines skirt the state’s casino rules by offering in-kind prizes, or tickets redeemable for prizes, rather than cash. But the definition also would have caught so-called “merchandiser” machines, which are commonly found in arcades in Ocean City and elsewhere. Such machines require the user to

perform some task - stacking a series of blocks, lining up certain shapes, etc. - in order to unlock a prize such as headphones or an iPod. “Apparently there are issues in other counties where you’re winning a ticket that can be cashed in,” said Melanie Pursel, executive director of the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce. “We didn’t feel that the merchandiser machines in family arcades should be lumped in with that.” Due to outcry from the amusement industry, the regulations now being considered would instead put most games in a “skills-based amusement devices” category that would be somewhat less onerous. Only nonskill games, such as video bingo, scratch-off, or pull-tab type systems - which are already covered under state casino legislation, unless they’re offering in-kind prizes - would fall under the additional “electronic gaming device” rules. Still, any device dispensing prizes of more than $30 would be required to register with the MLGC. The commission would have the power to require testing of the device, and to set maximums on prize value for any given location. Arcade owners believe this isn’t necessary, at least for facilities that are already gaming-oriented. “Up in Annapolis, there are malls that have these claw machines all over the place and they’re more than likely not being operated correctly,” Trimper said. “They’re doing it to take dollars off people coming into the mall and they’re more than likely not being checked to see if they actually pay out.” “That’s not the case here,” he said. “We use these machines as a draw to get people in to play the more traditional games, like skee-ball. They’re actually loss leaders. But if we lose that draw with the big prizes, there are places up in Delaware that have them all over place and they’re going to have a leg up on us.” Creating a distinction between bona-fide arcades, versus other places that have a few dubious machines, is difficult. The Ocean City Chamber’s lobbyist is currently working on an addendum to be proposed to the state’s Administrative, Executive, Legislative Review Committee once the regulations are published in the Maryland Register and public comment begins. “That’s going to be the critical part, how precise you can make that definition,” Trimper said.

Robert Wood Johnson report ranks Worcester 11th in Md. Socioeconomic, behavioral factors most significant in low end, environment best
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Of the 23 counties and Baltimore City, Worcester ranks 11th in “health outcomes” according to a recently-released annual report compiled by the Robert Wood Johnson foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The full report, found at www.countyhealthrankings.org, breaks out six major areas and ranks counties versus their states and the top performers in the country. Worcester does well in certain areas, coming in first in the state in “physical environment,” but the county falls to 20th place in social and economic factors, and 15th in health behaviors. “Premature death is the one most troubling to me,” Michael Franklin, CEO of Atlantic General Hospital said. “It’s the one we’re all worried about.” Defined as “years of potential life lost before age 75 per 100,000 population,” Worcester ranks 20th in the state with almost 7,300 years of potential lost life, almost a millennium more than the state’s average of 6,439. Franklin said, in analyzing the methodology to determine these results, that 40 percent of the factors contributing to the premature loss of life were behavioral. “We’ve got a lot of work to do as a region behaviorally and socio-economically,” he said. The county’s high unemployment rate, 11.2 percent according to the study, along with 22 percent of children living in poverty as well as a relatively high income inequality rate of 4.2 percent, all contribute to Worcester’s low score in this area. Social associations are high at 17.3, nearly double the rest of the state, so there are a lot of private interactions
within the county without a lot of results. “I see significant issues that directly relate to the social and economic factors, which are the biggest driver of the other items,” Franklin said. “I’m concerned with the obesity, smoking and drinking rates.” According to the study 18 percent of adults smoke and 31 percent are obese, each three percent higher than the state average. Excessive drinking, physical inactivity, alcohol-impaired driving deaths and the teen birth rate are all slightly higher than the state average. Worcester ranks 15th in the behavior section. It’s not all bad news, though. Worcester ranks eighth in quality-oflife factors including reported amount of poor physical or mental health days and low birth weight. In clinical care, or access to medical professionals, the county ranks fifth. “There is still a need for providers,” Franklin said, and the numbers bear him out. Despite the county’s high ranking, ratios of patients to providers are significantly higher than state averages. The state average for a patient to primary care physician ratio is 1,131 to 1. In Worcester County that ratio is 1,433 to 1. Dentists are even more scarce with a state average of 1,392 to 1 and a Worcester County ratio of 1,912 to 1. Diabetic screenings and mammography rates are also well above state averages. Where Worcester shines is in its physical environment. The county is ranked first in physical environment. While most, 82 percent, drive to work alone, only a few, 29 percent, drive more than 30 minutes. The county has recorded zero drinking water violations, while the state average is 16 percent, and there is a lower amount of air pollution than elsewhere. “All of this together tells a story, not about a program or a specific message, that needs to get out there. This is what creates the whole picture of population health,” Franklin said.

Spraypaint vandals in court June 19 to face 40 charges Bonser, Denton and minor accomplice accused of causing $11K in damages
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Nearly six months after a nighttime spray painting spree shocked Berlin residents, two suspects will go to trial in Worcester County District Court on Friday morning, June 19, on 40 vandalismrelated charges that resulted in $11,276 in damages. The defendants, Nick Bonser, 18, of Berlin, and Jordan Denton, 18, of Ocean City, face 39 charges of malicious destruction of property and one count of theft less than $100. The theft charge is believed to be in conjunction with the spray paint itself, taken from a nearby Wal-Mart shortly before the incident occurred on the evening of Jan. 25. According to the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s office, an unnamed juvenile suspect entered into a plea bargain and submitted a plea of “involved” to all 40 charges. The state’s attorney may only discuss outcomes when dealing with juvenile cases, so sentencing recommendations and details are unavailable. In February, Berlin Police reported 36 separate victims, including the Town of Berlin, which had one vehicle, 10 electric meters and four trashcans spray-painted. Three buildings and 33 additional cars were sprayed during the incident that spanned a dozen streets: Ann Court, Ann Drive, Branch Street, Buttercup Court, Harrison Ave, Henry’s Mill, Littleworth Court, North Main Street, Pitts Street, Powell Circle, West Street and William
Street. Renaissance Plaza, the Evergreen Masonic Lodge, Town Center Antiques and vehicles registered to Nestle Dreyer’s Ice Cream and Delaware Elevator Inc. also suffered damages. According to the statement of charges, Berlin police were dispatched to the municipal parking lot at 103 Williams Street at approximately 11:38 p.m. on Jan. 25 in response to a call that several vehicles had been spray-painted. Law enforcement logged the buildings, meters and trashcans, as well as 10 vehicles, that evening. On the following morning, police received 23 additional reports of damaged vehicles and recovered several discarded cans of spray paint. A police investigation led authorities to the three suspects. According to the report, Bonser and the juvenile admitted, during police interviews, to obtaining the spray paint from the Wal-Mart and “riding around spraying painting vehicles and buildings.” The report went on to state that Denton admitted to stealing the paint from Wal-Mart and “coming to Berlin with [the suspects] and spray painting cars and buildings.” Berlin Police said they obtained video from Wal-Mart showing the three suspects allegedly stealing spray paint from the store at approximately 9:36 p.m. Police said all of the crimes occurred between 9:36 and 11:38 p.m. “pursuant to one scheme and continuing course of conduct, willfully and maliciously defacing [properties].” Denton was served papers on Feb. 11 and had a scheduled hearing on March 13 at 9 a.m. at the district courthouse in Snow Hill. The result of that hearing is unknown.

County wrestles with shoreline hearing system Commission desires to end independent body; some fear loss of judicial process
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Balancing lower fees and quicker decisions with the need for public comment and transparent decisions, the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday continued to push toward abolishing the Shoreline Commission. Docks, piers, riprap, replacement bulkheads and soft shorelines all fall under the jurisdiction of seven-member commission, but Department of Environmental Services Director Bob
Mitchell told the commissioners he thinks his staff can handle the regulatory duties itself. “Most functions are internalized,” Mitchell said, “Mechanized even. Historically, all the problems have been neighbor disputes.” If a neighbor believed a project under the Shoreline commission’s jurisdiction negatively affected his or her property, a hearing could be convened. Neighbors would also be alerted by mail if a major project were intended in their area. “The power to make those decisions can go to one person,” Harold Scrimgeour, of Stockton, argued, “There’s no review process and we need a better appeal structure.”
The proposed appeal process crosses department lines in county government. As part of the proposed end of the commission, the environmental services department would conduct the initial review, and the Board of Zoning Appeals would hear appeals. “Some people want the process. There has to be mediation,” Ginger Gillis, of Berlin, said. An amendment offered by Commissioner Chip Bertino, and passed by the board, would still require mailed notification to adjoining property owners of applications for both major and minor projects. Jen Cropper, a sitting member of the Shoreline Commission from Ocean City, wanted to ensure the commission
could be reconvened if the substitute process doesn’t work. “This offers economy and efficiency but we need a safety valve,” Bertino said. Under the plan, the application fees for both major and minor projects would be halved to $125 and $75 respectively. The commissioners voted to approve Bertino’s amendment concerning neighbor notification, and another amendment offered by County Attorney Sonny Bloxom to move relevant sections of code from Zoning to Natural Resources to facilitate the effort. They will vote on a “clean” version of the bill during the meeting scheduled for July 21.

City looking to mimic beach smoking policy in pub. parks Revision of old code would provide two butt-can areas in Northside; ban in others
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) The Ocean City Council voted this week to begin codifying a proposal that would have smoking regulations in city parks mimic the recently enacted smoking policy for the beach. The council voted unanimously to move forward with an ordinance that will ban smoking in all city parks with the exception of Northside Park, where two designated smoking areas will be provided — one for the park’s indoor recreation building and one for the softball field complex. As is the case with the new beach smoking policy instituted last month smoking or vaping would be forbidden outside of a 15-foot radius from marked butt receptacles. The proposal was vetted through the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission. “This mimics the policy on the beach and Boardwalk,” said Councilman and Parks and Recreation Commission Chair Dennis Dare. “Our discussion led to the fact that people are in the building in Northside Park
who are smokers, and they’re going to go out to the curb. This proposed location is not far from the curb, and hopefully it’ll contain the litter. If you just went smoke-free and didn’t provide for it, you would just end up with the litter problem.” The same theory applies to a can to be placed at the outdoor sports fields, where many spectators smoke. “I’m not a fan of smoking in the park, but with the softball teams and so forth, if you don’t provide an area, you’re going to have a litter issue somewhere else,” said Councilman Wayne Hartman. As with all ordinances, the policy will have to go through two public readings before becoming law. “I would personally like to see the park go smoke-free at some point, but this is a good first step,” said Council Secretary Mary Knight. Currently, the city’s code prohibits smoking only at the Ocean Bowl Skate Park and the 61st Street Tennis Center. The clause also lists specific playgrounds at other parks, but has not been updated in some time. As of May 1, smoking or vaping became illegal on all public property within 15 feet of the Boardwalk, or anywhere on the beach outside of a 15-foot radius from marked receptacles.

Bond sale returns $300K more than CFO anticipated About $600K of $1.1M to be realized in fiscal 2016
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Earlier in the month the Worcester County Commissioners empowered Treasurer Phil Thompson to enter the bond market to refinance old debt and pay for a few capital improvement projects to the tune of about $43 million, expecting between $800,000 and $850,000 in savings. “If you see I have no fingernails left, [it’s] because the market has been up and down over the past few days,” Thompson told the commissioners Tuesday. Thompson said his staff spent between 200 and 300 hours preparing for the bond issue. “It’s a lot of work and a difficult time of year to do it, since we just finished the budget process,” Thompson said. “We tried to schedule another time, but any savings would be worth going to market over.” As bids were opened earlier in the week, it became clear that Worcester County’s traditionally conservative finance department had once again been conservative with its projections. “We should save $1.1 million over the life of the bond issue,” Thompson said to a visibly pleased board of county commissioners, “about $600,000 of that will be realized in fiscal 2016.” Thompson said the projects included in the $12 million capital improvement bond issue, called “A series,” are the Berlin rubble fill cap and closure project, which will close the operation, a new 800 MHz radio system for the Emergency Services department, financing for the construction of a new cell at the landfill and interconnections for the Mystic Harbour water and wastewater system, plus costs, fees and capitalized interest on the bonds. The refinanced bonds will carry an interest rate of 2.716 percent. The county is also pursuing $30 million in refunding bonds, called “B series,” which would essentially refinance old debt at a lower interest rate. Included would be the 2007 refunding bonds, covering the Worcester Career and Technology Center construction and other public works projects, and 2008 capital improvement bonds for the Pocomoke High addition and renovation plus a loan from Taylor Bank financing the Ocean Pines Fire Protection system loan as well as fees, interest and other associated costs. The net interest rate for these bonds is down to just 1.9 percent. “I’m very thankful for the staff and the commissioners for supporting the bond sale,” Thompson said.

Phase 2 excursion train study short on numbers Costs dependent on stops, shops and facilities; track rehabilitation big expense
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) In what appeared to be a stumble for the Berlin-toSnow Hill excursion train project, the phase 2 report on the plan spent considerable time proposing a BerlinDelaware line run that was of no interest to the Worcester County Commissioners. Further, that proposal was bolstered by a PowerPoint presentation not provided to the commissioners in advance. “The presentation uses new data that’s about 4 days old,” Randall Gustafson, vice president of operations for Stone Consulting, the firm
leading the excursion train charge, said. Commissioner Chip Bertino voiced concern over the inability to review the information. Gustafson advocated for the Berlin line north because of what he said was its suitability for so-called “feature trains,” or trips centered on a character or event, such as a tie-in to the Polar Express movie. The featured events, Gustafson maintained, are the bread and butter of an excursion train operation, drawing ridership from local, rather than tourist, traffic and bolstering profitability in the off-season. “I don’t see much attraction moving north from Berlin,” Commissioner Ted Elder said. “For me,” Commissioner Bud Church agreed, “I don’t see the advantage of going north from Berlin. The idea is to bring people down into
the county, and there’s more advantage to going south rather than north.” “[Train operations] are more dependent on capital costs and where the money is,” Gustafson said, adding that the route the train might eventually take didn’t matter. The capital costs are rehabilitating the tracks and installing or improving facilities to service the trains or to provide ancillary support for train operations, like a gift shop. How fast the train will move will dictate the level of rehabilitation. The lowest level, not recommended by Stone Consulting, would result in a net replacement of 26.1 percent of the existing track and allow for speeds of 15 mph. The recommended level, allowing speeds of 25 mph would result in a 39.1 percent replacement of the existing track.

The total costs to rehabilitate the track are dependent on what route the excursion train would take. While it appears certain the train would not travel north of Berlin, how, where and at what speed it would make its way through Berlin to Snow Hill and points in-between would change the cost, according to Gustafson’s report. Five routes were outlined in the phase 2 report, including Berlin to the Delaware State line; Berlin to Newark, Newark to Snow Hill, a Snow Hill “special event” loop and Snow Hill to Berlin. The Snow Hill “special event” loop is the shortest and cheapest option, presupposing it operates in tandem with another station at an estimated $1.2 million. Next is Snow Hill to Newark at almost $1.7 million. Berlin to Newark is estimated to be almost $2 million, and the longest stretch, Berlin to Snow Hill is just a bit more than $3 million, according to Gustafson’s PowerPoint presentation. “This report outlines what needs to be done,” Economic Development Director Bill Badger said, “It’s a deal involving a private partnership with a private partnership.” The first private partnership would be the railroad, Maryland and Delaware Railroad, and the second would be the operator of the train, an as-yet-undetermined entity. “I’ve got two operators on the line. The word is out on this project and it’s reaching critical mass,” Gustafson said. Tickets, Gustafson estimated, would cost around $15 for a normal excursion trip and were estimated between $35 and $40 for a feature trip, though Gustafson himself said he would not endorse a $40 price tag. The commissioners took no action on the report.

Irish Outreach returns for another influx of students Same charity, new location downtown to help young people from Emerald Isle
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Now in its fourth year of having a physical location, Ocean City’s Irish Outreach has found what is likely it’s best spot yet. In a ground-floor apartment on Baltimore Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets, the group has again set up shop. Two rooms are filled with shelves of bed linens, lamps, cookware and other home goods. Even in the age of online posting, several bulletin boards for jobs, housing, and free meals are full with hand-written notes. “If you just want to hang out, use our Wi-Fi, talk to the volunteers, come by any time. Everyone here has an Irish connection,� Irish Outreach director Rick Fairbend told an assembly of students on Tuesday. For the past four years, Fairbend and his wife, Pat, along with dozens of other volunteers, have organized an effort to help Irish students in ocean City find secure jobs, housing, and help navigating their summer in the states. “We’re here to help you have a good
time and respect what goes on here in Ocean City, especially the police and traffic laws. And sunscreen – especially sunscreenâ€? Pat Fairbend said. More than 300 student-workers have already signed up at the center. Most will be in Ocean City for several weeks, although their goal is to visit as much of America as they can before going back to Ireland. “We want to make money to travel while we’re here,â€? said RĂłisĂn McLaughlin. “I don’t’ really care if I go back to Ireland with anything.â€? Irish student-workers are different matter from most. The majority of the resort’s summer work-travel visa (J-1) students are from Eastern Europe, and essentially arrive on-demand, as See CENTER Page 28

Continued from Page 27 they are required by the State Department to have pre-arranged housing and work contracts with qualified employers in the states. Irish students, because Ireland is a so-called “visa waiver” country for U.S. diplomatic purposes, can arrive with no arranged jobs or housing. “Housing is the issue this year,” Rick Fairbend said. “It’s a combination of some of the houses becoming weekly vacation rentals, and those that are available filling up with high school kids. Unfortunately, the Irish get what’s left over.” Jobs are typically less of an issue. After a long trip to get to Ocean City from his home in Clare, near Limerick, Conor Cunningham stopped in a local pub for a beer. “I was sitting there drinking my pint and they asked me if I wanted to work there. I had been in town three hours and started right away,” Cunningham said. The situation isn’t a free-for-all, though. Irish Outreach works closely with visa agents to check on students, who still must report their jobs to their sponsoring agent, who must then get them vetted via the State Department. Email notices are sent out every 30 days, with survey questions students are required to answer. “If we don’t hear back from you, we
will reach out to you and to your employer,” said Sandi Wickenden of CIEE, one of largest visa agents sending students to the resort area. “We’re doing it to look out for you guys and to make sure your employers are honest.” Irish Outreach will also assist students in dealing with disputes with employers or landlords. Fairbend vets a number of housing locations to
‘If we weren’t getting funding from the bishops, we wouldn’t be able to afford to run this place’ Irish Outreach Director Rick Fairbend make sure that owners are offering fair leases. As the summer wears on, and housing become tighter, many landlords are often looking for any justification to kick foreign students out and free up their properties for higher-paying tourists. “Remember, if you’re on the lease, you’re the ones responsible. If the police get called, they’re going to have everyone who doesn’t live there leave, and the ones on the lease are the ones liable,” Rick Fairbend reminded the students. So far, things have been fairly quiet. “I had two kids get picked up for
open containers,” Fairbend said. “That’s something you can do in Ireland that the kids don’t understand you can’t do here. But two out of 300 isn’t bad. If nobody had any problems, I’d be surprised.” One of the big talking points for students this year – Irish, American, or otherwise – is bicycle safety. Many visa sponsors are on edge since the recent fatality of a Ukrainian student bicycling in Rehoboth. “This is how serious it is,” Wickenden told students. “You don’t realize how bad the traffic situation is going to get as the summer goes on.” “If you’re on your bike, please stop at every red light and wait for all the cars to make their turns,” Pat Fairbend said. “And please don’t walk with your phone. You’re not paying attention. Wait until you’re on the other side of the street.” Irish Outreach is sponsored by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and also receives significant funding from the Irish Apostolate USA. “If we weren’t getting funding from the bishops, we wouldn’t be able to afford to run this place,” Rick Fairbend said. To volunteer or make a donation, find Irish Outreach on Facebook, stop by the center on Baltimore Avenue Between 12th and 13th Streets, or call 443-523-6978.

WORLD WAR II: MOSCOW PARADE By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (June 19, 2015) This week, 70 years ago, the Soviet Union staged a parade to celebrate its victory over Germany. The order for the parade was issued on May 24, 1945 by General of the Army Aleksei Antonov, chief of the general staff of the Soviet Armed Forces. It commanded that each front (roughly the equivalent of an army group) would be represented by a combined front regiment of 1,059 soldiers. The order dictated how each, “ . . . combined regiment will be armed...” The order directed the combined regiments to arrive in Moscow on June 10, “ . . . having 36 combat colors from selected front units that are the most distinguished in action and all the captured enemy standards, whatever the number selected to be
carried in the parade proper.” The Supreme Commander-inChief, Armed Forces of the USSR and concurrent People’s Commissar of State for National Defense, Marshal of the Soviet Union Joseph V. Stalin, in an order published on June 22 in the country’s major newspapers, ordered that Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov would be the parade inspector, while Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky would command the victory parade itself. Preparations and parade organization were assigned to Col. Gene. Pavel Artemyev who was commanding general of the Moscow Military District and commanding officer in charge of the Moscow City Garrison. On June 24, 1945, at 10 a.m., Marshals Zhukov and Rokossovsky entered Red Square from opposite ends. Zhukov rode a white stallion and Rokossovsky a black stallion. The

band of 1,400 musicians, conducted by Maj. Gen. Sergei Chernetsky, played “Glory to the Russian People.” The two marshals met in front of the Lenin Mausoleum and then rode together in front of the assembled soldiers, sailors and airmen, saluting them as they passed. Then they returned to the Lenin Mausoleum, where Zhukov dismounted, took the rostrum and addressed the assembled soldiers, sailors, airmen and citizens. His address was broadcast by radio to the nation. He congratulated “...the brave Soviet soldiers and all the people with the great victory over Nazi Germany.” As the band played the national anthem, Zhukov took his place on the dais above Lenin’s tomb with Marshals Stalin, Semyon Budenny and Kliment I Voroshilov, Foreign
Minister Vyacheslav Molotov and Interior Minister Levantry Beria. In May of 1995 on his 100th birthday, a statue of Marshal Zhukov on that stallion was unveiled just outside Red Square. Following Zhukov’s address, Rokossovsky led the victorious Red Army in review. The following fronts were represented in the parade: Karelian, led by Maj. Gen. Grigory Kalinovsky and Marshal Kirill Meretskov; Leningrad, led by Maj. Gen. Andrei Stuchenko and Marshal Leonid Govorov. First Baltic, led by Lt. Gen. Anton Lopatin and Gen. of the Army, Ivan Bagramyan; First Belorussian, led by Maj. Gen. Ivan Rosly and Col. Gen. Kusma Trubnikov; Second Belorussian, led by Lt. Gen. Konstantin Erastov and General of the Army Vasily

WORLD WAR II: MOSCOW PARADE Sokolovsky; Third Belorussian, led by Marshal Aleksandr Vasilevsky; First Ukranian, led by Maj. Gen. Gleb Baklanov and Marshal Ivan Konev. Second Ukranian, led by Lt. Gen. Ivann Afonin and General of the Army Andrei Yeremenko; Third Ukranian, led by Maj. General Nikoli Biryukov and Marshal Rodion Malinovsky; Fourth Ukranian, led by Lt. Gen. Andre Bonddarev and Marshal Fyodor Tolbukhin; Fleet, land and air personnel of the Soviet Navy, under Navy Contingent Commander ViceAdmiral Vladimir Fadeev. Moscow Military District Armed Forces of the Soviet Union under Garrison and District Commander Col. Gen. Pavel Artemyev. The First Polish Army Color Guard Company led by Chief of the Army General Staff, Gen. Władysław Korczyc, was the only non-Soviet unit in the parade. Because of inclement weather, the fly over, which would have been led by Chief Marshals of Aviation Alexander Novikov and Alexander Golovanov, was cancelled. From 1946 onward, the parade was held on May 9, which became, and is still, a national holiday – Victory Day. In 1995, for the 50th Anniversary, 6,000 veterans marched in review in Red Square. Again, they were separated into their respective fronts. President and First Lady Clinton were on the reviewing stand with Russian President Boris Yeltsin and other leaders of Allied countries and Russian dignitaries. The standard Russian military parade was held later in the day on Kusnetsovskaya Prospekt to commemorate the opening of the WWII Memorial and Exhibition on Poklonnaya Gorra. It was supposed to rain that day, as well, but, thanks to scientific advances, and the disbursement of $250,000, it didn’t rain on the Russian parade. Ten years ago, the veterans rode in trucks before the reviewing stand. In
attendance were Presidents Putin and Bush, the leaders of other Allied countries and most of the former Soviet Republics. For the first time, Germany’s Chancellor and Japan’s Prime Minister were present, even though a peace treaty between Russia and Japan has never been signed. This year, in a fit of pique, reminiscent of the same type of juvenile behavior with regard to the 1980 Moscow Olympics, the U.S. and other Western countries boycotted the celebration and recognition of the enormous sacrifice the USSR made to help in the defeat of the Axis countries. The soldiers, sailors and airmen were led by a color guard carrying the Red Banner raised by Soviet soldiers above the Reichstag, in Berlin, in May 1945, followed by the Russian flag. The banners of the former Soviet Fronts were carried by soldiers wearing period uniforms. Soldiers from India, China, Serbia, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Belarus were among the 16,000 participants that day. The veterans were accorded a place of honor in the second row of the reviewing stand behind the leaders of foreign counties and President Putin. Presidents Raúl Castro and Nicolás Maduro were there, but President Obama was not. There were also parades in Minsk, Belarus; Yeravan, Armenia; and Donetsk. Ukraine held its parade, in Kyiv, on May 8. Thanks to the miracle of the Internet, all of these parades can be seen on “You Tube.” NEXT: THE UNITED NATIONS Mr. Wimbrow writes from Ocean City, where he practices law representing those persons accused of criminal and traffic offenses, and those persons who have suffered a personal injury through no fault of their own.

Mail fraud scam On June 11 the Berlin Police Department received a call from an 80-year-old Berlin resident who alleged he was involved in a mail scam. The resident received a notice from “Barclays Insurance Company” congratulating her on being a second place winner in a $100 million cash giveaway. According to police, the notice used the Publishers Clearing House logo as letterhead, but it was missing a return address, her information looked as though it had been typed with a typewriter and it was mailed using a Canadian postage stamp. The notice said she had won $2.5 million and a check for $6,520.45 was enclosed. She was instructed to deposit the check and immediately withdraw $6,000
from her personal account to be sent overnight to Austin, Texas. When the 80-year-old women went to deposit the check it came back as insufficient funds. Anyone else who has been affected by this scam is asked to call the Berlin Police Department at 410-641-1333.
Switchblade in gunfight On June 6 an Ocean City police officer witnessed two male suspects fighting downtown.

According to a police report, the other male suspect, Cameron Borum, 20, of Martinsburg W.Va., had an assistedopening knife on his person. During the investigation officers determined Butts was also the suspect in a similar incident that occurred roughly an hour prior and a few blocks away, where Butts allegedly revealed the gun during an altercation. Butts was charged as an adult with possession of a firearm, having a handgun on his person, two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of use of a firearm in a violent crime.

Berlin man pleads to murder By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Facing charges related to the June 2014 death of Gioni Phillips, Gemayel Jarmon, 32, of Berlin, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last week in Worcester County Circuit Count and was sentenced to serve 10 years. Probation conditions had not been updated in the Maryland Judiciary’s case search website, but the court ordered he must serve at least half of the sentence, because the incident is classified as a “crime of violence.” Charges were filed, and subsequently

not prosecuted by then-State’s Attorney Joel Todd. The incident occurred in 2007, when Phillips was 3 months old, and the cause of his injuries were attributed to “shaken baby syndrome.” Phillips survived the 2007 incident, only to die last year, when the case was reopened by State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby and Jarmon was prosecuted. Jarmon, in a handwritten response to the charges filed two months after the incident, explained his behavior as shaking the infant to rouse him after an earlier head injury, admittedly caused by Jarmon, left the child unresponsive.

Ocean City police officers were flagged down by a taxi driver who pointed out a man walking down the street. He claimed Barahona did not pay his fare the night before and the driver wanted to report a theft, the report stated. According to a police report, Barahona told the driver during the previous evening, that he needed to get cab fare from friends when they arrived at his destination.

They were arrested after attempting to run, according to the report. Both were charged with distributing and possessing LSD.
Teen arrested for armed robbery at Ocean City motel
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Ocean City police officers arrested and charged Christian Gill, 16, of Hagerstown, Md. as an adult for attempting to rob a group of people with a handgun inside a motel last week. On June 10, police met with a group of individuals who identified Gill as the person who displayed a handgun and demanded money from the victims. They resisted and the suspect fled to a room inside the Ocean City motel with a number of other people. Officers were able to determine which room Gill was in, and they ultimately detained five individuals. A search and seizure was performed in the room where a pellet gun, clothes matching the description of the suspect, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were located, according to the report. The investigation revealed it was a drug-related robbery and Gill was charged with armed robbery, robbery, first-degree assault and theft of less than $1,000. Gill was seen by a Maryland District Court Commissioner and was initially transferred to the Worcester County Jail on $250,000 bond. After a bond review, he is now being held without bond.

Beach 5 Sand Soccer tournament Approximately 300 teams set to participate in annual competition this weekend
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Close to 300 teams will participate in the family-friendly Beach 5 Sand Soccer tournament taking place on Saturday and Sunday with 30 fields lining the beach from Dorchester to Second Street. The participants range in age from under 8 years old to adult teams, with 10 players on each team. They will compete in a two-day event, beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday morning with both boys’ and girls’ teams contending until about 7 p.m. on June 20. “Purely for the fun and experience of playing soccer in the sand, I mean really? Who knew how fun that could be, and boy what a challenge,” said Angela Lewis, the administrator for Beach 5 Sand Soccer. The soccer-filled weekend continues on Sunday at 8 a.m. with boys’ and girls’ teams competing until after 7 p.m. Most of the championship games will take place on
Sunday evening. The event is free for spectators and Lewis says there are always surprises. “It’s totally free to come, watch and cheer on the kids. You never know what you might see,” Lewis said. “One year, we had a boys’ under 17 team come in pink tutu’s to play in our tournament, I mean talk about fun.”
‘It’s totally free to come, watch and cheer on the kids. You never know what you might see’ Beach 5 Sand Soccer Administrator Angela Lewis Teams will be visiting from all over the East Coast including North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Delaware. “We are very careful about what we allow as far as jerseys and shirts at our events and focus on the fun of the game and not the competition,” Lewis said. “It’s giving the participants an opportunity to play beach soccer as opposed to what most play-
ers are used to: grass.” Beach 5 Sand Soccer has teamed up with Jolly Roger Amusement parks to provide a fun time for families when the kids are not playing in the tournament, she added. In addition, they will be selling specially designed T-shirts, socks and other items on site at the tournament. “We focus on the fun factor at our events and we emphasize this to coaches, parents, participants and our staff every day,” Lewis said. “If you can’t have fun doing what you love then why do it?” 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. 8 for a second tournament in Ocean City. “We’d love to have new teams come out and join us,” Lewis said. Catch this weekend’s events on the Boardwalk between Dorchester and Second Streets from 8 a.m. to about 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Visit www.beach5sandsoccerseries.com for more information or to sign up for the tournament in August.
(June 19, 2015) The Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association will hosts its 26th annual Tuna-ment Tournament this weekend, as teams will fish two of three days – Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 19-21. “[Tuna fishing is] great,” Dave Smith, executive director of the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association, said. “The Baltimore [Canyon] is producing along with the Washington and Wilmington [canyons].” Tuna is the headlining 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. There are also optional added-entry skill level calcuttas for the chance to win additional prize money for reeling in the largest tuna. A category for dolphin is available as well. “It seems our tournament hits right at the beginning of the prime tuna fishing season. At least for the past three years anyway,” Smith said. Sunset Marina in West Ocean City is one of four official weigh-in stations. The others are Wachapreague Seaside Marina in Wachapreague, Va., Curtis Merritt Marina in Chincoteague, Va. and Hook’em and Cook’em at the Indian River Inlet in Delaware. “Anglers that fish our tournament like the convenience of four weigh stations and the easy-going nature of MSSA tournaments,” Smith said. “We do follow our rules to the ‘T,’ but we do put a high priority on fun.” This year, weigh-in time has been extended one hour. Weigh-ins will take place from 4:30-8 p.m. each tournament day. “We extended the weigh station hours for several reasons. Economically speaking, it will allow boats to travel at a more economical speed and still make it in, while also allowing for the most fishing time possible [with] lines out at 3:30 p.m.,” Smith said. “Also, with less stress about getting back in time, that should translate into a more enjoyable experience.” For more information, visit www.mssa.net or call 410-255-5535. Fifty-six boats registered for the 2014 tournament. Forty-three of them were out of Ocean City. Cash and prizes awarded to 2014 winners totaled $40,000. Top Dog Capt. Todd Dickerson and his team was presented with more than half of the prize money paid out – $21,041. The crew brought a 222.1-pound big eye tuna to Sunset Marina to take first place. They also landed a 211.7-pound big eye for a 433.8-pound total stringer weight.

Eric Wilkinson and his son, Seamus, participate in the annual Ocean Pines Anglers Club Teach A Kid To Fish day, last year, at the South Gate Pond.
Teach a Kid to Fish Day in Ocean Pines this Saturday
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) The Ocean Pines Angler’s Club will join the community’s recreation and parks department for Teach a Kid to Fish Day this Saturday at the South Gate Pond, beginning at 9.m. Last year’s event went well, according to organizer Walt Boge, and this year’s event, held the day before Father’s Day, could provide participants with the perfect Norman Rockwell moment in scenic Ocean Pines. “A dad teaching his kid to fish is probably the best way to build a family relationship, but, believe it or not, sometimes the parents and the grandparents learn in addition to what the kids learn,� Boge said. “We had a pretty good turnout last year and the weather held up, so everything went off without a hitch.� Boge estimated the event has been running in Ocean Pines for 10-12 years. “The whole idea of our club is oriented towards fishing and one of our tenets is to try to get kids to enjoy the concept of fishing and join in fishing expeditions,� Boge said. “One way to do that is to have the kids come in and
learn a little more about the basics of fishing: different kinds of bait, how to tie a knot, how to cast a line, and then how to treat fish if they’re going to throw them back in the water.� Children will have the opportunity to learn those skills at stations set up around the pond. Participants can register, for free, to win a number of prizes, including the grand prize of a fishing rod and reel. During the event, kids will also have the opportunity to get a little hands-on experience. “We provide bait for them, so after they learn the basic things, they can go to the pond with their parents or grandparents and start fishing,� Boge said. Sunfish, bluegills, bass and even the occasional catfish can be found in the pond. “Hopefully, the kids learn a little bit more about fishing and the joys of it,� Boge said. “Basically that’s the whole idea – get them to enjoy fishing. Hopefully, kids will take what they learned in this event and then take part in our kid’s fishing contest on July [18].� No license is required to fish in the pond. Ages 4-16 are welcome. For more information, call 410208-2855.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 19, 2015) The Ocean City Marlin Club’s 36th annual Small Boat Tournament, for vessels 34 feet long and smaller, will take place this weekend. Registration for the competition will begin today, Friday, at 6:30 p.m. at the Marlin Club, located on Golf Course Road in West Ocean City. A captains’ meeting will follow at 8 p.m. The tournament is open to Marlin Club members and nonmembers. Participants will fish from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., either Saturday or Sunday, June 20-21. Anglers can participate in the inshore or offshore divisions. They also have the option to compete in both. The inshore division includes categories for flounder, sea bass, tautog, bluefish, rockfish and shark. Offshore division categories include tuna, dolphin, shark and billfish release. There is a $500 bonus award for the heaviest flounder. Weigh-ins will take place Saturday and Sunday from 3-6:30 p.m. at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City. An Eastern Shore-style crab feast and awards banquet is scheduled for Sunday from 6:30-9 p.m.
The entry fee is $250 per boat to fish offshore or inshore. Five banquet tickets are included in the fee. To fish inshore one day and offshore the other, the cost is $500 and includes 10 banquet tickets. Added entry-level calcuttas are available for each division and cost $100, $200 and $300. The $200 offshore billfish added entry level is winner takes all. For more information, call the Marlin Club at 410-213-1613 or visit www.ocmarlinclub.com. Forty-nine boats carrying approximately 245 anglers of all ages competed in the Marlin Club’s 35th annual Small Boat Tournament last year. A total of $17,290 was paid out to tournament winners. “A fair amount of fish were weighed ‌ I don’t think it could have gone any better,â€? Bill Regan, tournament co-director, said after the 2014 event. “It was a great tournament.â€? Regan said there was a good mix of participants, from young children to adults. “Some people that fish now started fishing this tournament when they were kids,â€? Regan said. “Some of them have been fishing this tournament 15-20 years straight. That’s really cool.â€?

(June 19, 2015) The 18th annual Franklin Burroughs Golf Scholarship to attend the Eagles Landing Golf Camp–in the name of owner of OneTime Plumbing, Inc., in Berlin, for more than 25 years, Franklin Burroughs–was awarded to Katelyn Davis, a student at Berlin Intermediate School. Freda Burroughs, Franklin’s wife, would like to thank everyone for their previous contributions to help make the Franklin Burroughs Golf Scholarship Fund a success. Seven deserving aspiring young golfers from Berlin
Intermediate School have attended the golf camp over the years because of the scholarship. Attending the golf camp have been Mia Carlotta in 2008, Hannah Davis in 2009, Adam Melson in 2010, Alexander Oatman in 2011, Shane Cioccio in 2012 , Josh Hubbard in 2013 and Matt Brown in 2014. “My husband loved God, children, golf and all athletics. His children, and all the neighborhood children who came to his home were called ‘The Burley Bunch,’” she said.
They were called the “Burley Bunch” because of all the fun activities he provided and the fact that he lived on Burley Street at that time. All of the children are now grown. Two of the Burley Bunch were his own children, Barry and Amber Burroughs. Other members included Cecil Tull of ABC Printers, along with John and Steve Barrett of formerly Barrett Chevrolet. There have been numerous Plumbing Supply supporters over the years, including Harold Pace of Thomas Summerville and Howard
Twilley of Shore Distributors. A special thank you goes out to Tull, who has printed the scholarship certificate each year. Freda Burroughs now resides in The Woodlands, Texas and wants to continue to offer the golf scholarship in her husband’s name. Help keep Franklin’s memory and passion for golf alive, through this youth scholarship. To continue the Franklin Burroughs Golf Scholarship Award donate to: FBGSA, Berlin Calvin B.

Ekaterina Golub, left, and Linar Yagudin, Escape Room owners, bring an interactive brain game to Ocean City with three different rooms to unlock clues and solve puzzles on 118th Street.
Escape Room challenges visitors Interactive puzzle-solving experience featured at new venue on 118th St.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) A zombie episode of “The Big Bang Theory” put interactive “escape room” games on national television, and now Ocean City visitors and residents can join in the fun — finding clues and solving puzzles — before time runs out. Escape Room is on 118th Street in the OC Square shopping center and features three rooms to solve: Pirate’s Treasure, the Boss’s Office and the Quiet Room. “It’s a new and unique experience for Ocean City,” Escape Room owner, Linar Yagudin, said. “You unlock detective abilities and use brain power to escape the room and break the code. Get together with friends to solve the mystery and have adventures you will never forget.” In the Pirate’s Treasure room, participants have one hour to find the pirate’s hidden treasure in his haunted cabin and solve the mystery
of the wreckage before it sinks below the ocean. Players are tasked with finding the boss, who escaped with everyone’s life savings, and hacking his bank account to return the money before it’s gone forever in the second challenge room, Boss’s Office. In the Quiet Room, participants are transported to an abandoned asylum looking for an antidote to the “sickness” before it takes over after 45 minutes. “Every room has a personal touch and they are all different,” Yagudin said. “We make up all the puzzles for the game and we have many ideas ahead.” People are having a hard time getting out of the rooms without clues, he added. Throughout the game, employees will send clues to participants. “It’s like being a detective with critical thinking and problem solving,” Yagudin said. “You’re thinking outside the box and using logic to figure out how you will use items in the room.” Each room can hold six or more players, which means participants
may be uncovering clues and finding keys to unlock answers with strangers. All items in the room could be a clue except for pictures or decorations hanging on the walls. Escape Rooms have been used as a team-building exercise, a host for special events, birthday parties, work events and even bachelorette and bachelor parties. A friend of Yagudin experienced an Escape Room in Pittsburg, which made him think it would be a cool idea for Ocean City. They started renovations in January and the interactive escape game opened up quietly on Memorial Day weekend to decent crowds. “Come play the brain game rain or shine,” Yagudin said. “It’s an adult, family-friendly game where you meet new people and get a full experience.” To keep the rooms fresh and new, two rooms will change at the end of summer with holiday themes likely to appear. The Escape Room will stay open until at least Winterfest ends, Yagudin said. The Pirate’s Treasure Room and See PROPS Page 46
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (June 19, 2015) Purchasing a condominium differs from buying a single family home in more ways than the obvious. Of course, condo ownership offers buyers the convenience of maintenance-free living since you don’t have to worry about cutting the grass or shoveling snow — but when looking into purchasing a condo, it’s important to consider more than just price, size and view. Association’s Stability: Buyers should always receive what’s called a “Resale Packet.” The Maryland Condominium Act protects buyers where a condo association is involved by requiring numerous items to be provided to a buyer prior to settlement including: Declaration, Bylaws, Rules and Regulations as well as a current operating budget among other things. Buyers also have an unconditional seven-day right of rescission after receiving this packet of information. Buyers should review this packet closely looking at the total amount of outstanding debt owed to the association and the percentage of owners who are not paying their dues, as well as the amount of reserve funds the association has set aside for large repair projects such as roof replacement. Building’s Insurance: Insurance coverage is another important factor that condo buyers shouldn’t overlook. Condo owners are typically responsible for insuring just a portion of their property on their own, commonly referred to as an H06 policy, and the building carries a master policy; however, rules differ from building to building, and it’s important that buyers ask the right questions to know how much coverage is needed as the condo unit owner — and how much that will cost annually. Buyers should ask to review a copy of the building’s master insurance policy and have their own insurance agent review the coverage. Also important to note, insufficient master policy coverage can also make units ineligible for financing. Percentage of Investors vs. Owner See ASSOCIATION Page 46

BJ’s on the Water owners, Billy and Maddy Carder, presented donations to two organizations near and dear to their hearts this week. (Top) Carder, left, hands a check for $2,000 to Heather Melson Bahrai, a board member for the Worcester County Humane Society. (Bottom) Billy joins for a picture with Kenille Davies, founder of Kenille’s Kupboard & Pet Pantry, who also received a $2,000 check from the Carders. “My husband and I never had children. We consider our dogs to be our kids and we do what we can to help out,” Maddy Carder said. “It’s a passion of ours to be heavily involved in helping innocent victims.” BJ’s on the Water donates money raised from its annual Christmas party to the Worcester County Humane Society and Kenille’s Kupboard & Pet Pantry. A small box is kept beside the popcorn machine in the 75th Street restaurant for visitors to donate money to these organizations. The money was donated to these two local animal services in Dawson Twining’s name. “We wanted to donate in Dawson’s name because he is such an amazing kid and we watched him grow up. We [the Carders and Twinings] all got into the restaurant business around the same time and we have a camaraderie you don’t see other places. We can count on each other,” Carder said. “When a horrible tragedy happens you can’t say or do anything to help. Dawson loved life, his dogs, family and friends. We felt it was perfect timing to contribute money to both organizations in his name and are humbled to do so.” Twining died May 3 at the age of 27. SHELBY SHEA/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Association rules, finances, must be examined in move Continued from Page 45 Occupants: Just as the borrower must qualify for a loan, so must the condo association qualify for a loan — and the percentage of units owned by investors vs. owner occupants is a crucial factor. Lenders follow guidelines from the Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for condo mortgages. Among Fannie Mae’s requirements are that more than half of the condo units must be owner-occupied, no owner may own more than 10 percent of the units and no more than 15 percent of owners can be delinquent on condo dues to name a few of the lending requirements.

FINAL DOLPHIN FUNDED The OC Dolphin sculpture and plaza took another major step toward completion with a generous $10,000 donation from the Brenner family that is being made in memory of Sue Brenner Haslam.

cate meighan inside going out id you guys check out the OC Air Show last weekend? Even if you wanted to, it was pretty hard to ignore the roar of those planes overhead, and how cool is it that the Blue Angels first female pilot, Katie Higgins (a Maryland native), was at the controls of one of the C-130 Hercules flying over the beach? It was a historic aviation weekend for us and the beach was absolutely crammed with onlookers. If you were there then you were probably just as grateful as I was to be able to cool off in the ocean during some pretty oppressive heat. School is finally out for the summer and it’s officially the season for graduation parties, weddings and let’s not forget, this Sunday is completely devoted to dear old dad. So have you figured out what to do to celebrate Father’s Day? Well, if your favorite guy was obsessed with last weekend’s air show and has always dreamed of piloting a plane even for just a minute, you can actually make that happen. Ocean Aviation Flight Academy is offering a Discovery Flight package that will allow him to take the controls of a Cessna, under the guidance of an FAA Certified Flight Instructor. If this sounds like the most amazing Father’s Day gift idea (you’re welcome) then check out www.flyoceanaviation.com for more information. I don’t think that I have ever met a man that doesn’t love wings and beer and apparently neither has Marina Deck, located at Dorchester Street on the bay. Its First “King of the Wings” event takes place this Sunday from 1-4 p.m. Pay $10 at the door and taste wings from the local restaurants that have entered the contest. There will be drink specials including $4.99 orange crushes, $2 domestic drafts, $2.50 domestic bottles and Landshark drafts, $4 Fireball shots and $3 Captain’s Booty shooters and $1 off all other drinks. Music will be provided by DJ Wax and judges include Mayor Rick Meehan, Big Al Reno from 98.1, DJ Wookie and Albie Dee from OC104 and Leah from 93.5 The Beach. All proceeds benefit Cedar Chapel Special School in Snow Hill. If for some reason wings don’t do See CATE Page 50

US Coast Guard celebrates 100 yrs. OC Life-Saving Station Museum to host dinner, breeches buoy rescue
(June 19, 2015) This year marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of the United States Coast Guard. To recognize this milestone, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum will host a dinner on Friday, June 19, and a breeches buoy rescue re-enactment on Saturday, June 20, beginning at 10 a.m. on the beach between the inlet and the pier. “This event advances the mission of the museum to support the historical role performed by the United States Life-Saving Service, and to preserve… the 1891 structure that once served as the Ocean City Station,” said Nancy Howard, president of the Museum Society. “We are delighted to honor the Coast Guard, which has been a welcome presence in Ocean City since 1878.” The breeches buoy was used in the 19th and early 20th century to bring passengers and crew members to safety from ships wrecked at sea. The museum, in partnership with the Indian River Life-Saving Station Mu-
seum of Rehoboth Beach, Del. and the U.S. Coast Guard, will sponsor such a rescue. A Lyle gun will fire a line over a wreck pole (representing the mast of a ship), a series of lines and pulleys will be added, and a breeches buoy will carry a “survivor” from the foundering ship to the shore. The equipment is borrowed from the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum which is owned and operated by Delaware State Parks. The wreck pole was built by Ocean City’s Public Works Carpentry Division. Laura Scharle, Interpretive Programs manager for Delaware Seashore State Park, oversees the Indian River LifeSaving Station Museum, where they re-enact the breeches buoy rescue drill several times each summer. “We are honored and delighted to be a part of this event,” Scharle said. “We’ve been performing the breeches buoy rescue drill in Delaware for over eight years now, and we are eager to partner with the Ocean City Life-Saving Station to reach a new audience and pay tribute to the brave men of the U.S. Life-Saving Service that performed these heroic rescues.” The lineage of the Coast Guard
began in 1790 with the formation of the Revenue Cutter Service that merged with the U.S. Life-Saving Service in 1915 to become the U.S. Coast Guard. In addition to the historic rescue reenactment, the Coast Guard will execute a 21st century water rescue bringing in modern day equipment including an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter and a 47-foot Motor Life Boat off shore. The Ocean City Beach Patrol will also demonstrate, as they do daily, the rescue of swimmers. “The crew at station Ocean City are looking forward to participating in the re-enactment of how rescues were executed from the shore to the wrecks,” said Timaree Sparks, BMCM. “We are honored to have the most senior enlisted member of the Coast Guard speak to some historical events regarding the Life-Saving Service. It’s a great free event offering camaraderie with members from the active duty Coast Guard, members of the museum, the Town of Ocean City and the tourists.” On Friday, June 19, Master Chief Steven W. Cantrell will be the guest speaker at a dinner to be held at the Clarion Resort Hotel on 101st Street. The Master Chief Petty Officer of the See BREECHES Page 50

First Jah-Bacon Brew Fest this Sunday at Seacrets
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Bacon lovers rejoice and bring your dads to the first ever Jah-Bacon Brew Fest at Seacrets on Sunday from 12-4 p.m. at the beach stage. Attendees 21 and older will have the chance to try a selection of bacon dishes while tasting local craft brews from Evolution, Fin City, Dogfish Head, Duclaw, Burley Oak and Fordham and Dominion. Sample bacon wrapped meatballs, chocolate-covered bacon, bacon wrapped pretzel dogs, bacon pizzas and salad. “It’s Father’s Day, what a great day for it. I am bringing my dad,” said Seacrets marketing manager, Jackie Miller. “You can hang out on the beach, drink a beer and eat bacon. Dads love that, who doesn’t?” For $30 in advance or $35 at the door, attendees will receive 10 drink tickets for craft beer tastings (five pints), a souvenir pint glass and as much bacon-inspired fare as desired. Additional beer tickets can be purchased and cost $5 for four. Activities will add some fun to the event including cornhole, a big Jenga and bottle and toss, Miller said. DJ BK will host a bacon-eating contest while wearing a bacon-theme
tuxedo starting at 1:30 p.m. with the introduction of contenders. “It’s hilarious. He will totally rock it and it’s going to be really fun,” Miller said. “The whole day will be very entertaining.” Each of the 10 contestants will be given 100 strips of bacon, which is about two pounds, to consume in five minutes. The winner will be whoever finishes first or eats the most bacon. The bacon-eating champion will receive a pair of tickets to Slightly Stoopid, Dirty Heads & the Expendables at Pier Six Pavilion Thursday, July 16, a Seacrets Gold Card, Seacrets Spirits, a case of Seacrets Tropicale, Ocean 98 and Seacrets swag and a ticket for the chance to win 20 years of bacon. Alex & Shilo and Bad Since Breakfast will be entertaining the crowd throughout the day. “Come out to taste beers and crazy bacon foods,” Miller said. The event came about when Miller and Justin Grimes, an assistant general manager at Seacrets, decided “to create a fun event where people can relax and enjoy some food and drinks.” To purchase tickets for Jah-Bacon Brew Fest on June 21, visit seacretsboutique.com/tickets or stop by Seacrets on 49th Street.

Marina Deck presents first ‘King of the Wings’ contest
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Marina Deck, on Dorchester Street in downtown Ocean City, will present its first “King of the Wings” contest featuring wings from approximately 14 local restaurants, this Sunday, June 21, from 1-4 p.m. For $10, attendees can try all the contestants’ wings and vote for their favorite. As of earlier this week, Marina Deck, M.R. Ducks, Pour House, Bull on the Beach, Hooters, Burley Oak, Dogfish Head, Captain’s Galley, Harborside, Shark on the Harbor, Greene Turtle, Dunes Manor, Longboard Café and Pickles Pub are slated to participate in the competition. “Besides having a good time and hanging out tasting the wings, it’s for a good cause,” said Marina Deck owner Dennis Kalchthaler. “We are doing it for the kids and you can’t beat the [bayside] view.” Two winners will receive a more than 3-foot-tall trophy for making the tastiest wings. A public winner will be determined by event attendees and a people’s choice winner will be chosen by a guest panel of five judges. Celebrity judges include Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan, Big Al Reno from Ocean 98.1, DJ Wookie from OC 104, Leah from 93.5 the Beach and
Albie Dee from OC 104. In addition, DJ Wax will be hosting, emceeing and providing the tunes all day. Marina Deck’s regular happy hour and Sunday specials will be going on with $4 Fireball shots, $4.99 orange crushes, $2 domestic drafts, $1.75 Natural Lights, $3 Captain Booty shooters, $2.50 domestic bottles, $2.50 Landshark drafts, and $1 off all other drinks. The event will have door prizes, a 50/50 raffle and auctions including rounds of golf, haircuts, a free manicure from Robin Walter Salon, gift certificates from OC Pet Spa, Brass Balls, Decatur Diner, Smokers Pit, Taylor’s Restaurant and the Berlin Coffee House, among others. All proceeds will benefit the Cedar Chapel Special School in Snow Hill. “We all want to have a good time, but the main focus is on the kids and raising money for the charity,” Kalchthaler said. In addition, Marina Deck is one of the first restaurants in Ocean City to install solar panels on its roof. The project has been planned since February and last week, 53 solar panels were placed and hooked up during a three-day period, Kalchthaler said. “Hug a tree, we are saving money and it looks cool,” he added.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) Everyone is invited to join the thousands of firefighters for demonstrations, exhibits, a parade and events during the 123rd annual Convention and Conference of the Maryland State Fireman’s Association and Ladies Auxiliary, June 20-26. “We have family-oriented activities for firefighters and their families and events just for kids. It’s kind of nice. The numbers fluctuate on the schools being out and we encourage families,” said Ron Siarnicki, convention chair. “What better place than Ocean City? Bring your family to the beach.” The convention is free to the public and takes place at the Roland E. 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. Close to 30,000 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 600 units will take part in the procession on Wednesday, June 24, traveling from 16th to 33rd Street starting at 1 p.m. Other big events include a family night at Jolly Roger Amusement Park,
Purse and Bag Bingo, a prayer breakfast and the annual MSFA Golf Tournament. MSFA Night at Jolly Roger takes place Monday, June 22 from 6:30-11 p.m. at the amusement park on 30th Street. There will be music, food and unlimited rides, rounds of miniature golf and trips around the go cart track during the event. For the amusement park and food the cost is $22 per person. A family of four for both is $75. Visit www.msfa.org for additional packages and to reserve tickets in advance. “We are trying to build our convention into a family event. It’s a chance for our state’s firefighters to receive some training and have an awesome Ocean City experience with their families,” Siarnicki said. 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. Coach, Vera Bradley, Thirty-One and Longaberger will be featured. The prayer breakfast takes place Wednesday, June 24 at 7:30 a.m. in the convention center’s Bayfront Ballroom with Chaplain Preston “TJ” Lay

Demonstrations, exhibits and parade among activities of the Laurel, Del. Volunteer Fire Company as the guest speaker. Admission cost is $13 and includes an allyou-can-eat country breakfast with scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, biscuits, fresh fruit and more. The 23rd annual MFSA Golf Tournament takes place next Friday, June 26, at Eagles Landing Golf Course in Berlin. Tee time is 7 a.m. and most spots are filled. Complimentary beer will be provided on the course, prizes and a continental breakfast for $75. “We are really excited. Mayor Rick Meehan is our celebrity playing in the event and it’s a great fundraiser for programs throughout the state,” Siarnicki said. 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 sixth 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 23 from 6:30 p.m. to close. A $10 entry fee includes a souvenir mug, 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 Live Band will perform and DJ Wax will provide the tunes. The Ocean City FOOLS keep the party going in the morning with its first 8 a.m. 5K run and walk on the Boardwalk at North Division Street. “It’s open to the public with a minimal registration fee to benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation,” Siarnicki said. “It’s intended to be a healthy walk, no competition. A nice activity for the whole family on the Boardwalk.” The MSFA Ladies Auxiliary will host a Salty Coast paint party on Thursday, June 25 from 2-4 p.m. in the Ocean City convention center room 208. Purchase tickets for $45 at www.tickled-paint.com or call 410713-2013. All presentations, educational classes and awards ceremonies during the MSFA conference are open to the public, Siarnicki said. “For firefighters, they are exposed to great training opportunities that are fire specific and the public gets to see what our fire service does each day to keep everyone safe,” he added. Awards will be presented on Tuesday, June 23, starting at 8:30 a.m. in the Bayfront Ballroom. There will be presentations See ANNUAL Page 63

Annual MSFA’s parade in Ocean City set for Wed. Continued from Page 61 throughout the event, such as Liz Marks keynote presentation on Monday, “Don’t Text N Drive 4 Liz Marks,” where attendees will hear her devastating story of driving into the back of a truck near St. Michaels while texting. Other talks include “Why Sprinklered Buildings Burn” on Monday and Wednesday or “Prevention Through Testing and Research” on Sunday and Monday. 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. A four-hour “Making the Cut” Sunday class will go over the tools for venting and flat roofs. On Tuesday, an eight-hour “Firefighter Survival Class” teaches techniques on how to help a down firefighter. “We hope people will come out and watch the parade or take advantage of the activities,” Siarnicki said. “We are truly happy to be in Ocean City. What a great town to be in.” Convention headquarters will

Best Mexican Food In Town
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (June 19, 2015) The diary of a chef is intimate and allows one to secretly acknowledge what is beneath the surface of daily routines. It is important to give credence to present day thoughts; otherwise clarity is a thing of the past. Uncertainty will always be part of the kitchen, so staying in the moment and trusting oneself will emulsify to a state of productivity. Some say chefs and their gastric skills are of a different breed. Passion is a word that is privy to those who crave cookery. Intriguing culinary possibilities blend from the wee hours of the morning to the very last thoughts of the day. Those who cannot fathom the ideas of obsession simply reduce it to another perplexity to be. Every morsel is taken into consideration; nothing is too small for deliberation. Details determine fate and specificity is the ultimate test for success. Take heed, generality is a spice that can spoil the pot of cre-
ativity. On that note, I am becoming one with my book of personal observations. My day-to-day notes secure references for future use. Pork loin is on the menu and planning is necessary for a fabulous meal. Should I spend extra money on the tenderloin or opt for the loin. The loin will definitely save me money but it is also a tougher piece of meat. A few seconds of contemplation points me in the direction of the loin, brining will easily solve this problem. Brining is the practice of submerging a cut of meat in a brine solution, which is basically salted water. The meat absorbs extra liquid and salt, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful final dish. Brining is also good for lean cuts of meat that tend to dry out during cooking. Seasonings and herbs can be added to the brine for additional zest. The basic ratio of salt to water for a brine is 4 tablespoons of salt per 1 quart (4 cups) of cold water. The next issue at hand is a rub for the pork after it has been brined. Dijon mustard is the perfect binder for kosher salt, garlic and other seasonings. The paste cannot be too thick, otherwise it will adhere to the

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Charring exterior of pork loin enhances juicy interior racks on the grill and not the meat. It is imperative that the Dijon mixture and the exterior of the meat obtain a blackened sear; this ensures tenderness and added zest. Walmart carries pork loin at $1.97 per pound which is a good price. The average pork loin in the store is approximately 6 pounds which is perfect for large celebrations. Pork loin freezes well so one is not obligated to use the entire loin at one sitting. The type of grill is crucial and needs to be addressed. Charcoal and not gas is the preferred choice. It is imperative to get the flames flaring with great intensity. You literally want the meat to be engulfed in flames. This might seem rather intense but remember the pork loin is quite substantial in size. Also, charring the exterior enhances a juicy interior. One last point to make before the subject of grilled pork loin is complete. After the pork has been removed from the grill, place it on a cooling rack to help stop the cooking process. Drizzle olive oil on both sides. After it has rested for at least 20 minutes, cut the meat paper thin with an electric knife. Father’s Day is June 21 and grilled pork loin is the perfect selection for such a fun-loving occasion. The crispy exterior parlays wonderfully with the succulent, tender slices of meat. Make dad comfy, offer him a cold one, and have a wonderful Happy Father’s Day! Grilled Pork Loin Ingredients 6-pound pork loin
1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon dried, crushed rosemary 1 tablespoon dried thyme 1 tablespoon dried oregano ½ cup Dijon mustard ½ cup canola oil, plus extra for the grilling coarse black pepper extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling 1. Brine the pork for two days in the refrigerator, turn every 12 hours. 2. In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the canola oil for grilling, black pepper and olive oil. 3. Rub the Dijon mustard mixture over the entire surface of the pork. 4. Coat the pork very heavily with black pepper. 5. Allow the charcoals to become very hot and white. Place the pork on the grill. Drizzle canola oil lightly over the meat. The flames will flare up, this is what you want. You may need to use the lighter to spark the flames. When the pork is black, repeat this process for the other side. 6. Cover with lid and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the pork over and cook covered for another 5 minutes. 7. Remove pork from grill and place on cooling racks. Lightly coat each side with olive oil and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes. 8. Using an electric knife, slice the pork very thinly. Add some of the olive oil drippings to the meat and serve immediately. Secret Ingredient - Possibilities. “When you’ve exhausted all possibilities, remember this–you haven’t.” — Robert H. Schuller

Qualify now for Fish Talesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; July 4 hot dog-eating event By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 19, 2015) Only two weeks remain to qualify for Fish Tales Bar & Grillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth annual Independence Day â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top Dogâ&#x20AC;? 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 anytime during the day to speedily consume five deli-style 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 Saturday, July 4, at 2 p.m. The cost to take part in the qualifier is $5, which will go toward the prize money pot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the locals to come out and step up.

(June 19, 2015) New artwork from Brooke Rogers, chair of the art department at Salisbury University, and photography/digital media are the big gallery shows at the Ocean City Center for the Arts in June. Rogers grouped his paintings of energetic shapes and bold colors into a show he titled “Surf City.” Born in the 1960s and virtually growing up in an Ocean City surf shop, Rogers is inspired by Minimalism and the bold, simple shapes he sees in the sand, sea and sky of the flat Atlantic horizon. He is also influenced by Pop Art, recalling images of the Boardwalk amusements and the bright, neon look of the surfing industry. The photography and digital media show will include works produced both digitally and traditionally. Graphic de-

Ocean City Baptist Church on Division Street offers free dinner to international students Mondays from 6-8 p.m. “That’s how we make the connection. It’s all a first come, first serve,” Short said. “The first week is a big one. They trickle in and we gave away 60.” Last week, the group donated 30 bikes, and on Monday, 15 bikes were given to international student workers. “We didn’t know where to start and did not have any money set aside. Putting an ad in the classified helped get the word out and we get calls from people in the community to donate bikes to us,” Short said. Short explained how he can put air in the tires, tighten seats and lubricate chains. “There are guys who are really good with break cables and multi-speed tune ups. They can get the gears working right,” he added. Short and his crew restore the donated bikes in their barns and garages. “Thank you to the whole area and community as a whole. From Selbyville to Girdletree, anywhere the newspaper reaches we have received calls and so many bikes have been donated,” he said. To donate an old bicycle, call Short at 410-726-1051.

Deep and shallow holes can collapse, kill
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (June 19, 2015) Digging that hole to China on our beautiful sandy beach seems to be a summertime rite of passage for many kids and vacationers. 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 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.

Six 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

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.

OC Beach Patrol warns of dangers of digging holes Continued from Page 71 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 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.

This hole was so deep that a 6-foot man would have only been able to touch the rim with hands overhead. If this hole had collapsed the outcome would have been a fatality. They never thought they may have been digging their own grave.
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 11-year-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 or try a new, less work-intensive vacation tradition such as building a sandcastle, hunting for shells, reading a book in the shade or enjoying a rare midday nap. If you do dig a hole, never leave it unattended and make sure that you fill it in See OC Page 73

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.

After graduating from Worcester Prep, Mathias attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) where he was selected to do retroviral research at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Laboratory of Dr. Michael Summers. He received his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and went on to the Masters Program in Molecular Medicine at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) where he researched a new compound, crenolanib, for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the lab of Dr. Maria Baer. Mathias successfully defended his thesis titled, “Mechanisms of Resistance to the Fms-like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Inhibitor Crenolanib,” and was awarded his Masters Degree in May 2014.

Commentary
Some perspective on schools, county
The relationship between the Worcester County Commissioners and the Worcester County Board of Education is no different here than it is in most other jurisdictions. They are to each other like the sales and news departments of a newspaper: neither one understands the precise nature of the other, but they have no choice but to work together in order to survive. Further, were one to ask these departments which is the most critical, chances are each would respond, “We are.” Realistically, you wouldn’t want it to be any other way, since a department – or a board – not married to its mission isn’t going to be that good. Consequently, the clashing arguments between the board of education and the board of county commissioners over teachers pay raises should be put in perspective. It is a fact that teachers were passed over for raises multiple times through no fault of their own or the board. But it is also a fact that the commissioners were, just a couple of months ago, looking at a total budget proposal that not only exceeded revenues by $22 million, but also would have consumed their entire reserve fund, thus setting the stage for an even worse time of it next year. Neither party is responsible for the deep dive in revenues, that being the result of the recession-driven 25 percent drop – roughly $5 billion – in the county’s property tax base. At the same time, however, spending by government overall did not and could not retreat by that same 25 percent, because it would have gutted the system. Could the commissioners back then have raised the tax rate gradually to compensate for that loss? Sure, they could and they should have. That, however, didn’t happen, leading the county to where it is today. Despite the assignment of blame between these two parties in this latest circumstance, this problem began years ago and it was the fault of neither. The thing is, recognizing and accepting that gets in the way of the pursuit of their individual objectives.

Trump: What an ...
By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher The good thing about Donald Trump running for president is that we already know what he is, while we usually have to wait a few months after the winner takes office to find out that, yep, he’s an —— — too. Not to be unduly cynical, but in all my voting years, we have never had a president who lived up to his pre-election reputation as a non——— -, at least in my opinion and despite the public’s tendency to think more kindly of them as the years pass. This process begins immediately following the departure of the incumbent: “Boy, am I glad to see that ——— leave office. Year two: “Yeah, well, New President So-and-So may be an ——— in some regards, but he’s not as big an ——— as the ——— who preceded him.”
Year eight: “Boy, am I glad to see that ——— leave office. He was no different than that previous ———.” Year 15: “You know, on balance, Old President So-andSo may have been an ——— but he was MY ———. “ Year 20: “Let’s name something after him.” The progression does shift directions somewhat as even more time passes and historians and scholars can evaluate the presidential performance through an emotionless rearview mirror. Year 40: “A detailed comparison of the accomplishments of Old President So-and-So to those of more recent White House occupants show that he was one hard-working ———.” Or Year 40: “Recently discovered documents in the presidential archive reveal that Old President So-and-So was an
——— of the first order.” Year 41: “Let’s rename that thing we named after him.” That’s the upside of Trump – it won’t take 40 years to figure him out, thus saving Americans a great amount of time and expense. In addition, should he win, we wouldn’t have to worry about naming anything after him, as he will already have taken care of that himself, thus also sparing Americans of the trying debate over whether the — —— deserves that kind of recognition. Any number of people will contend that I am not qualified to judge the abilities of any presidential candidate, even though that’s what voters, competent or not, are supposed to do. I strongly disagree and that’s because over the course of my long career I have been recognized periodically as something of an ——— myself.

Letters to the editor Couple gets anniv. surprise Editor, Recently my husband and I visited Ocean City, Md., where we had met many years ago.
We decided to dine at our favorite seafood restaurant. Chatting with our friendly waitress, we mentioned that we had met in Ocean City some 62 years ago and that we were celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary. She was
duly impressed and served us a delicious feast. After the meal, my husband requested the check. Our waitress replied, “No need, sir, the couple sitting next to you has paid the bill.” See LETTERS Page 94

Nepali crowdfunding effort hits halfway mark Basnet family out from under tarp, into traditional house until monsoons pass
By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (June 19, 2015) With more than $10,000 raised of his $20,000 goal — nearly 10 percent of that raised this past weekend — local disaster relief expert Patrick Robbins said the Nepali family who adopted him is now living in a traditional albeit temporary structure until a replacement house can be built. “What’s happening now is the typical Nepali bureaucracy taking over,” Robbins said, as the Nepali govern-
LETTERS Continued from Page 93 “What, my husband said, the bill was over $80.” We both then turned to look at the table and– there were two empty chairs. We had noticed the attractive couple, but had no conversation with them, not even eye contact. My husband jumped from his chair and ran through the restaurant to find the couple and thank them. To no avail, they were gone. They had paid with cash so there was no way to identify them.
ment has instituted a rebuilding ban until new design standards can be implemented. “That knowledge is already out there around the world,” Robbins said of construction intended to withstand natural disasters. Like many conversations with Robbins — a graduate of Salisbury University who engaged in a number of national and global disaster-relief efforts while remaining on the Lower Shore — there is a silver lining. “Monsoon season has already started,” Robbins said, “and the best time now to build is after it ends.” Monsoon season runs contemporaneously with the western hemisphere’s hurricane season, but is a
I must admit, I stayed there and cried. With all of the cruelty, hatred, and meanspiritedness in this country and the world, to experience such a kind gesture, given anonymously, was incredible.

horse of a different color. Instead of a few major storm events, monsoons in Nepal are more of a constant soaking rain punctuated with times of high winds and infrequent clear days. “When you wash your clothes, which is all done by hand, of course, even if you hang them inside they don’t really get dry,” Robbins said. He is a frequent visitor to the area and has experienced monsoons. Even without the first earthquake, which hit at the end of April, or the follow-up quake that hit a couple of weeks later, diseases such as cholera and diarrhea are annual deadly threats. Sanitation is a concern in the best of times, Robbins said, and the Basnet family’s new temporary quarters is a giant step forward from the tarp they had been living under since the earthquake. “This is separate from the house funds we’ve raised,” Robbins said of the traditional structure, built from bamboo harvested from the nearby jungle and fitted with a corrugated metal roof. The walls will be plastered with mud to aid weatherproofing, but the structure is still a far from the brick-and-mortar structure the 10 members of the family had been used to. “It’s a 15-minute walk from where they were in a portion of field they
usually plant,” Robbins said. The new structure is not without its own dangers, Robbins explained, because of its proximity to the jungle and another threat: leopards. “I didn’t really believe animal attacks were a problem until I was introduced to an uncle who had survived an attack,” Robbins said. The scars, he said, were horrific. Overall, the Basnet family is lucky in terms of outcomes, Robbins said. “Of the 22 houses in the village, nine were damaged or ruined. People in the village are taking care of each other, and they’re close to the capital so there are some resources. There are lots of Nepali families who will be, let’s face it, living in tents for years to come,” he said. The fact that some houses remain livable is no small blessing. “In the remote villages, everyone is in the same situation. No one in this village is starving or out on their own,” Robbins explained. The crowdfunding effort, even at 50 percent of its stated goal of $20,000 is enough to get started. After monsoon season ends, and the government passes its new standards for housing, Robbins said the boots are on the ground ready to build.
