OC cab companies bailing out Uber-induced flight expands to more medallion holders; strike allegedly considered

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) The possibility of an Uber-induced decline in the resort’s taxi medallion system appears to be accelerating from a slow bleed into a

full-scale evisceration. Two of the city’s largest taxi companies are now planning to sell off their city medallions (one with a classified in this newspaper) and move their businesses either to Delaware, or into the realm of digital “Transportation Network Services,” given the relative lack of restraint placed on web-based carriers in Maryland. Further, talk of a taxi strike in

Ocean City is gaining ground, with the possibility that the resort could join Mexico City, Paris, and other cities around in the world in seeing cabbies actively protest their loss of job security because of what they say is a bureaucratic bungle. “I’m selling them, but so far nobody wants to buy,” said Michael Pawlowski, owner of Nite Club Taxi and Coastal Cab. The company holds

30 Ocean City taxi medallions, Pawlowski said. “We’re tired of dealing with it in Maryland. I’d rather invest what I make up in Delaware. This whole thing with Uber has been a big eyeopener for a lot of people.” But while Pawlowski and others point one finger at the state, for not adopting a tighter regulatory frameSee PRESSURE Page 5

May tax receipts, room data show strong numbers Rates, occupancy on rise as proceeds jump 11 percent

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Recent statistical returns confirm what many people had observed last month – a sudden break in temperatures, coming off a particularly nasty winter, provided a substantial boost to the lodging industry in May. Returns for the city’s room tax – a 4.5 percent levy on all hotel rooms and registered condo rentals – were the highest ever this May compared to the same month in previous years. Proceeds from May 2015 totaled $1.26 million, an 11 percent boost over room tax income from 2014. This is a particularly promising omen, at least for the city’s bank account, heading into the peak season of July and August. Those two months alone provide over half the city’s room tax income for the entire year. In 2014, July and August saw returns of $3.76 and $3.25 million, respectively – their highest ever – out of an end-ofyear total of $13.59 million. The Town of Ocean City began collecting room tax in the summer of 1998. Portions of the tax go to the city’s unrestricted account, while others are earmarked for the resort’s marketing and advertising budget. See MAY Page 3

Surf rescues surge following Saturday storm By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Last weekend’s stormy weather not only kicked up the surf in Ocean City but also the number of rescues made last Sunday

by the Ocean City Beach Patrol. Because of the rip currents whipped up by Saturday’s storm, the Ocean City Beach Patrol on the following day had to make 217 rescues, the highest number so far this season.

May occupancy at 64 percent; Smith rates near $130 Continued from Page 1 The city’s food tax, a half-percent collected on all restaurant sales, also rose 12.4 percent this May compared to May of 2014, from $121,101 last year to $136,178 this year. Increase in tourism tax proceeds can be attributed to any number of factors. Although a few new condos, hotels, and restaurants have opened in the past year, capital growth in the resort is still recovering from the recession. This would indicate that either occupancy of existing facilities has increased, or prices have risen. Judging by the May edition of the Smith Travel Report, both have occurred. Smith Travel collects data only from a sampling of national franchise hotels, but this sample of 27 properties with 3,808 rooms comprises nearly half of Ocean City’s stock, which is estimated at roughly 8,000 rooms amongst 334 properties. Occupancy of the Smith Travel sample rose from 59.7 percent last May to 63.8 percent this year. Additionally, the average room price for May rose from $125.76 in 2014 to $129.84 this year. This puts Ocean City’s average occupancy year-to-date at 44.7 percent, versus 41.1 percent last year, and average room rates at $106.19 versus $104.96 through May of 2014.

Rip currents heighten OCBP work Continued from Page 1 when our Beach Patrol leaves the stand,” Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin said. “They exist before and after – when we leave, there is no one there to help them. Only swim when lifeguards are on the stand.” Rip currents form when huge volumes of water and waves pile up near the shoreline. An exit point for the water is to form a narrow stream that moves rapidly away from the shore. Because rip currents change randomly, it’s hard to know when they will appear in the surf. “The huge waves come in sets and deposit large amounts of water at a fast rate,” Arbin said. Despite last Sunday’s surge, rescues are down from the past couple

summers and Arbin credits a decrease in rip currents for that decline. As of June 21, there have been 201 rescues with 519 in 2014 and 596 in 2013. “Ninety-five percent of rescues in Ocean City are rip current related,” he added. “If the mechanism for a rip current continues to not happen, those numbers will stay low.” If they find themselves in a rip current, swimmers should follow the “RIP” rule: Relax, I need help and Parallel. “Rip currents do not pull you under; they take you away, so relaxing is the first step,” he said. “Call someone for help while you still have the energy and swim parallel to the beach. Rip currents are not

wide and once you swim across it, you should be able to swim back to the beach.” Also, he tells people to call 911 and not to help if they see someone in danger after lifeguards leave the stand. “Instead of one rescue, it turns into two,” he said. Arbin advises beachgoers to check with their lifeguards, who will inform them about shore breaks, rip currents and dangerous sea life. “During Fourth of July weekend, we see an average of 100 kids who are lost on the beach,” Arbin said. “If parents introduce their children to the lifeguards, they know about a safe place to go if that were to happen.”

said. “We wouldn’t need to change our front end. What’s the difference between someone punching into Uber on their phone to get a driver, or calling me and having us send out a driver who’s using our digital system and our car? There’s no difference.” The only hold the city has over cabbies – and the reason that it can continue to regulate traditional taxis, while Uber is strictly under the purview of the PSC – is that the city can require taxis to pay for the right to solicit business on public streets. By bowing out of the medallion system, taxis will not be able to conduct street hails outside bars and restaurants. But they would also no longer be subject to heavy city regulations, such as annual inspections ($150 per car), drug screenings ($120 per driver) and annual medallion re-

newals ($500 per medallion). Unless the city eases up on these costs to fall more in-line with the new competitive environment, DeAngelus said several companies are planning a strike. “All the major companies are considering it. Some of the guys who drive just for themselves are a little reluctant to lose a weekend of revenue, but we have to make a point,” DeAngelus said. “Let all the hotels and bars go bananas. We have to stand up for ourselves.” The city has issued 170 medallions, which can be freely bought and sold amongst taxi companies. The city collects a 25 percent surcharge on any transaction. If traditional cab companies pull out, however, the value of that 25 percent and the medallions themselves will be fading fast.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) While some measures take effect in October and others must wait until the new year, the bulk of the legislation passed by this year’s session of the general assembly took effect yesterday. “I’m proud of the economic impact legislation,” Senator Jim Mathias said, pointing to his bill allowing clubs to obtain seven-day liquor licenses and removing the food restrictions that normally accompany those licenses. He also mentioned increasing the military tax deduction from $5,000 to $10,000, the law allowing Ocean City nightclub Seacrets to move its distillery from Delaware onto the site at 49th Street and lauded the effort behind the regulations allowing Uber to operate in Maryland. Delegate Mary Beth Carozza joined Mathias’ enthusiasm for increasing the military tax deduction, but also lauded the toll rollback affecting the Bay Bridge and highways as well as the suspension of the so-called “rain tax.” Selected laws that went into effect yesterday include: • Toll reductions: The Maryland E-Z Pass $1.50 monthly fee has been eliminated, the Maryland discount drops the rate from $5.40 to $2.50 at the Bay Bridge. All cash, video, commuter and shoppers’ toll rates have been reduced. The two-axle cash rate shrinks from $6 to $4 round trip, and the commuter rate drops from $2.10 to $1.40. • Minimum wage: The minimum wage in Maryland jumps from $8 to $8.25 until July 1 next year, when it increases again to $8.75 per hour. Tipped employees’ wages (those earning more than $30 per month in tips) must equal the minimum wage. Employers must pay tipped employees at least $3.63 per hour. • Uber authorization: Allows for the operation of Uber providing certain requirements are met. • Military income modification for those over 65: Increasing from $5,000 to $10,000 the subtraction modification for state income for military retirement income. • Deaths involving a law enforcement officer reporting: Requires local law enforcement agencies to report officer-involved and line of duty deaths annually due June 30. Agencies must report on each death in the past three calendar years by Oct. 15, 2016. • Childcare employee contractors and subcontractors: Prohibits county boards of education and certain nonpublic schools from hiring individuals convicted of certain crimes. • Student data privacy: Requires operators of certain Internet sites to protect Pre-K-12 student information, and delete gathered information once conditions are met. It also disallows activities related to targeted advertising, selling and disclosing of student information.

RARE FIND On June 18, OCPD Sgt. Dennis Eade was patrolling the south end of town on his police mountain bike in the area of the demolition site of the old Hall properties at Somerset Street and Baltimore Ave. He saw the top of an old bottle sticking out of the ground. When he recovered it, he saw that it was in perfect condition. A computer search identified the find as a Lysol bottle from 1914. On June 29, he gave the bottle to his daughters, Evelyn, 3, and Ayla, 2. Eade suggested that maybe the girls wanted to donate the bottle to the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum on the Boardwalk. The girls were excited to do so and they took the bottle to the museum and presented it to Diane Knuckles, assistant curator. “It made me a very proud daddy to see how eager and excited my girls were to give the bottle to the museum so that it might be shared with others,” he said. “The girls are excited to return and see their bottle displayed in the museum at sometime in the future.”

Reef permits emerge from regulatory process Current sites cleared for more work; future sites subject to more stringent fed. standards

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) After a long period of limbo, Ocean City’s artificial reefbuilding permits have started to be renewed with a minimum of bureaucratic difficulty — although the establishment of any new sites may be more difficult than local activists would desire. The Ocean City Reef Foundation is now in the clear to continue work at at least one site, after wind energy-induced changes to federal requirements added additional hurdles late last year. “I did get Russell’s Reef reissued, but there are some conditions on it,” Town of Ocean City Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer said. “Basically, the foundation will just have a sheet they have to fill out reporting any added impact. I think the other permits will be easier now because we set the groundwork with this first one.” The Ocean City Reef Foundation’s program consists of submerging various structures — concrete blocks, scrap steel, even the shells of old ships — off the coast of the resort.

These structures eventually attract bark on extensive fact-finding and soplant matter, which attract mollusks, licitation of information from potenwhich attract crustaceans, which at- tially affected parties, with a particular tract fish, which attract bigger fish and emphasis on legally recognized Native help to rebuild an ecosystem that American tribes. would otherwise be an underwater Further, in 2012, the Bureau of desert.

area.” If the Reef Foundation wishes to establish any new sites, a full gamut of studies — such as sonar readings — will have to be done to make sure the new reefs aren’t going on top of anything important, like archeological sites. But as it stands now, the Russell’s Reef permit has been renewed with a minimum of additional red tape, provided that it is not expanded. “Where we have existing reef deployments — which is where we want to be anyway, because you want height in these structures — within a 150-foot perimeter, they’re going to let us keep deploying in those areas without a full study,” Blazer said. “It’s not like they haven’t already been there all these years.” “We are able to authorize permits for those areas that have previously been disturbed in accordance with their prior authorization,” Bachur said. The next reef permit that will be coming up for renewal is the site of the African Queen wreck, which has been added to over the years. With a bit more confidence, Blazer plans to start the process early. “At least we know if we get them in, they’ll get through. It just takes a long time,” she said.

Continued from Page 11 rental licenses can be obtained. However, they restrict rentals of residential properties to a single family, or no more than two unrelated persons, limiting the number of MSU students that can be packed into a single unit. Ocean City already has a similar clause for existing R-1 zones, prohibiting more than four unrelated persons. However, city staff have said this is difficult to enforce, given that they have no authority to ask people to prove their personal relations. Probable cause typically only comes if residents call the police to file a noise complaint, at which point the disturbance has already affected the neighborhood. In East Lansing, Irwin said, enforcement difficulties are eased by the city’s ability to track illegal renters based on MSU information. “By vehicle is usually how we first figure it out,” Irwin said. “From there, it’s not difficult to find people via social media, as well as using the university directory.”

In Ocean City, this may not be as easy, given that rowdy tenants are only staying for a week at the most. Further, scanning license plates and building a case against violators is a considerable undertaking. The City of Miami Beach, Munday said, has 50 code enforcement officers to enforce the six-month statute, mainly by doing on-site visits and tracking the lease terms of each new property user. The Town of Ocean City, by contrast, has less than one-tenth of that manpower. And there is also the question of if, even if the city had the needed number of enforcement officials, they would have the authority to conduct investigations in a similar way to jurisdictions in Florida and Michigan. Although he has not looked into the matter, City Solicitor Guy Ayres noted that “in Maryland, zoning is not part of the police powers under the state code. Zoning is governed by state law only in terms of what they allow the counties and municipalities to do.”

Booze, assault, hotel fall are potent combo By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) A man who was accused of assaulting a woman at a downtown hotel Sunday evening somehow ended up falling from a fifth-story window and suffered severe injuries. The Ocean City Police reported that officers arrived at the hotel to find Ricky Miller, 18, of Hedgesville, W.Va. on the ground and injured after falling from the window. He was treated on scene by Ocean City Emergency Medical Services and flown to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma

Center by Maryland State Trooper 4. He is listed in stable condition. The initial investigation report said Miller had assaulted a 26year-old woman who was pushing a baby stroller on the third floor of the hotel prior. Shortly after, Miller fled to the fifth floor and was attempting to exit through a hallway window when he fell five stories to the alley below, according to the report. Police believe alcohol and drugs were contributing factors and the investigation is continuing. Charges against Miller have not been determined at this time.

Rebel flag apparel still sold in OC stores, if you can find it Items no longer given pride of place, but are still easily located with some looking

Confederate flags still fly over few OC T-shirt shops

Continued from Page 16 federate flag-based shirts and other items in all of them. Almost none of them displayed the merchandise prominently, and some had the items available for a deep discount. Due to the closeness of the July 4 holiday, American flag items were prominently featured everywhere. Of the people we talked to, most don’t have a problem with the merchandise. “We used to have worse,” a clerk at one of the shops said. “There was a shirt with a picture of America that read, “We’re full, get the f—- out, which was much more offensive to me.” The same clerk said customers often made inappropriate remarks to her, often not knowing they were causing offense and may be intending the opposite. “A lot of people tell me I’m pretty for a black girl,” the clerk said. Sunsations General Manager Daniel Popa said the items featuring the flag have been removed from outside displays, yet remain in stores, because they’re “not something nobody buys.” However, Sunsations does not plan to restock the items. “What’s out there is out there,” Popa said.

Josh Briele from Pa., took a different view. “Seeing the flag made me more comfortable. It’s culture and it’s American. Just because it offends someone doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be allowed,” he said. Briele’s wife, Shannon, said she was more offended by videos of people stomping on the American flag than anything she’d seen on the Boardwalk. “It’s mostly kids coming in here — oh, I’m a redneck, oh, I like to shoot guns — and I don’t think they mean anything by it,” Mercedes Tefera, a clerk at a Boardwalk shop said. Andrea McCarthy from Virginia said she didn’t see any merchandise featuring the flag while she was shopping, but even if she had it wouldn’t have affected her decision to patronize the store. The store did indeed have shirts emblazoned with the flag. “If people are offended by it, it’s a different story,” Devon Thompson from Philadelphia, said. “But if it’s just a flag blowing around in the wind, it’s not hurting anybody.” Two others, speaking on condition of anonymity, did not personally want to buy or wear merchandise using an image of the Confederate flag, but didn’t mind it being sold.

Jack Burbage announced as recipient of ‘15 Glick award Diakonia will benefit from November gala honoring OC pioneering developer

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Honoring extraordinary service in philanthropy, the 2015 Hal Glick award, named for the pioneering Ocean City Realtor, will go to Jack Burbage. “I get more out of it than I give,” Burbage said, “It’s nice to do it in a quiet way. I prefer to be in the background, so long as the work gets done.” Burbage, through his family foundation, offers “needs based” services — he said the foundation doesn’t have a particular cause — it just tries to Jack Burbage help people. “I’ve put people through school, offered scholarships and even have bought a few cars so people could get to classes,” he said, “The needs are greater than the supply, and when you do what you can do, it really feels nice.” The award won’t be delivered until the annual gala in November. The gala itself is a fundraiser, where the annual proceeds will be split, as in previous years, between Atlantic General Hospital, Temple Bat Yam and a cause of the winner’s choice. Burbage said he has selected Diakonia, where he serves on the board of directors, to receive his share of the proceeds. “So many need to know what they do — they really need more publicity. They’re funded by the government and that money is getting harder to come by,” he said. Diakonia is one of only two home-

less shelters in Worcester County. It provides shelter, counseling services and a food bank to help the hungry and homeless. “They have such a waiting list,” Burbage said. Burbage owns Blue Water Construction, where the self-described “worker bee” and his two sons, John and Todd are also employed. “I sometimes do things anonymously. I have trouble saying thank you when people recognize things I’ve done. It feels better than with fanfare. This really is unbelievable,” Burbage said. Burbage maintains he is a product of his community. “This is the most wonderful place because it’s the most giving community I’ve ever known,” he said, “I’ve lived here all my life and found that people here do what they need to do to accomplish a goal.” The Hal Glick award started as a “Person of the Year” event five years ago, before it was named for its first recipient, according to event co-chairman Warren Rosenfeld. Leighton Moore of Seacrets, Dr. Lenny Berger of the Clarion and Billy and Maddy Carder join Glick as previous award winners. Rosenfeld said the event usually sells out, and about 2,500 invitations are sent. “Most of the winners have made the donations or put in the time,” to be considered for the award, Rosenfeld said. The award is given annually, but the gala was delayed until January last year. “I’m not an overly religious guy, but you can’t out-give God. Only one person needs to know about everything I’ve done, and that’s between Him and me,” Burbage said.

Seacrets distillery hopes to be up and running next year Moore getting closer to end of lengthy legal process for expansion of facility, brand

IMAGE COURTESY LEIGHTON MOORE/SEACRETS

This is the first released image of the planned distillery to be constructed on the grounds of Seacrets on 49th Street, bayside. Though it has not yet been approved by any of the committees or commissions relevant to the construction process, Seacrets owner Leighton Moore said it was a fair representation of what he intends the structure to look like. Groundbreaking is expected to occur later this summer, with the expectation that the facility will be open next summer.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) While there are a number of steps between where the process is now and where Seacrets owner Leighton Moore hopes to be this time next year — including putting the first shovel into the dirt — the first hurdle, namely legality, was cleared effective July 1. Not simply waiting for dotted i’s and crossed t’s, Moore has already begun working on the design of the new facility. To make space for the new building, he will be moving ex-

isting condos and using the reclaimed space as the footprint of the distillery. The building will face north, and be situated adjacent to the Morley Hall, with three grain towers on the east side plus a sign on the west side featuring the familiar “Seacrets” script. Visitors to Seacrets will have to walk by the distillery to use the main entrance. Moore said his plan was to include a kitchen on the third floor of the distillery to service an upcoming renovation to the Morley Hall to include its own third-floor convention space. “We can have weddings or meetings there. It can hold a good number of people,” Moore said. The journey began in March, when bills sponsored in the House of Delegates by Mary Beth Carozza and in the Senate by Jim Mathias (HB689 and SB523, respectively) made their way through the General Assembly and were ultimately signed by Gov. Larry Hogan. The bills created a new type of liquor license in Worcester County, permitting the distillation of spirits. “In addition to what we’re already See DISTILLERY Page 26

Distillery part of larger plan for 49th St. improvements Continued from Page 24 distilling, we want to perfect our dark rum next, and a grapefruit vodka. I can do bourbon and scotch if I want, but it’s a learning process. We’re going to have to see what sells,” Moore said. Seacrets has been producing its own brand of liquor in Delaware, but will now be able to bring that operation on-site at 49th Street, bringing in tax revenue and about 40 jobs with it. “We have to design it for buildout and then build what we can afford,” Moore said, “We need a foundation, elevators — all of that. This is phase 1 and, yes, we’re going in phases. We’ll break ground later in the summer,” Moore said. Planning documents, design boards, revisions and meetings all lay ahead for Moore and Seacrets, but there are steps that can be taken now. “We’re purchasing some equipment,” Seacrets Vice President Gary Figgs said, “It takes between four and six months to come in, because it’s not something you can just buy — it’s all built to order.” The gear has to fit inside the facility, the facility needs to fit the code, and the apparatus must pro-

duce the required amount of alcohol. “We’re starting with a very small distillery, but could fit much larger equipment inside if things go well. If the brand grows, we’ll sell the old gear and go larger,” Moore said. There are a few restrictions Seacrets must adhere to as a matter of law. A holder of this type of license cannot begin wholesale operations and cannot sell bottles of liquor through the distillery itself, produce more than 100,000 gallons of spirits nor sell more than 15,500 gallons of the product at retail during a calendar year. To increase operations, if all goes well for Moore, Figgs and Seacrets, they would need a different license. “We’re still in the design phase [and] we’re getting pretty close as far as the actual design, but we’re not allowed to apply for our permits until it actually becomes law,” Figgs said. The effort to pass the law gained wide local support, with letters of endorsement coming from the Worcester County Commissioners, the Hotel-Motel Restaurant Association, the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce and the Ocean City mayor and City Council.

Shark out of sight, questions open on last week’s event

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Now that the craze has washed out (no pun intended), Ocean City is left wondering: what happened with that shark from last week? While there’s no way to know for sure, the scenario was undeniably out of the ordinary. A hammerhead shark – presumably the same one in each instance – was spotted multiple times through a period of several days, both near the beach and, later, in the bay. Only a few days before, another hammerhead reportedly gave birth on the beach in Fenwick Island, going back out to sea before washing back into shore, dead. “Based on what we were able to gather, it does seem highly abnormal,” said Alan Henningsen, Fishes Research Specialist with the National Aquarium. Beyond that, there’s only speculation, since neither animal was recovered. But there are a few things of note. First is that the two sharks appear to have been different species. Based on photos, the one in Fenwick was a Scalloped Hammerhead, while the shark seen further south in Ocean City was a Smooth Hammerhead. Both were sizable, with social media reports estimating the latter shark at eight feet. Neither was of the largest species of hammerhead – the Great Hammerhead, which reaches lengths of 20 feet. This is the hammerhead that that poses the greatest risk to swimmers, although, even then, all types of hammerheads fall relatively low on the list of sharks known to attack humans. The vast majority of shark attacks in coastal waters are from Great White, Tiger, and Bull Sharks. “Hammerheads are potentially dangerous, I’ll put it that way,” Henningsen said. “But they are not considered particularly dangerous by any stretch.” Secondly, swimming into shallow water is not uncommon. “It is normal for them to come

Disease, damage from being hooked possible explanations closer to shore in shallow water, the reasons being either for feeding or birth,” Henningsen said. “The reason why a lot of sharks will give birth in shallower water is to provide protection from predators who are too big to enter those waters, because most of their predators are larger sharks.” Assuming that both animals were in shallow waters to give birth – the first, at least, obviously was – the question is why both animals seemed to be in a weakened and disoriented state. “From what we saw of the first shark, it gave birth and was put back out to sea, but the wave action was just carrying it back up on shore, at which point it died,” Henningsen said. Natural speculation was that the sharks were ill. Because sharks’ bodies work very differently from that of mammals, and even from that of bony fishes – sharks are cartilaginous – science has been slow to learn about how exactly infections can affect them. “We now know that they do get some viral diseases,” Henningsen said. “There is also a form of bacterial meningitis that can affect sharks.” Henningsen also posited, although he stressed this was purely speculative, that the sharks may have been suffering from the effects of being

caught by fishermen once entering the shallows to give birth. Even after being released, the temporary lack of motion would have a negative effect on the sharks’ respiration and cellular chemistry. “Hammerheads are a fragile species, biologically, even compared to other sharks,” Henningsen said. “Any kind of restraint is bad. But I don’t know what the situation is here.” Also of note, and possible significance, is that hammerheads are believed to rely heavily on their ampullary systems to navigate. This consists of a number of nodes on the sharks’ snouts which allow them to sense minute changes in the electromagnetic field, with some researchers having speculated that hammerheads’ distinctive head shape is an adaptation to maximize their sensory area. Despite the shock last week of seeing the animals so close to boaters and bathers, hammerheads are likely in resort-area waters far more than we know, but healthy sharks are able to sense the electrical impulses generated by human movement, and know to stay away. “Sharks are often around beach areas,” Henningsen said. “Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they’re not there.”

Pedestrian safety focus of city’s Walk Smart program

ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Extra effort, and extra mascots are in order ahead of the busy July 4 weekend as Ocean City kicks off the third annual Walk Smart campaign promoting pedestrian safety in the resort.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Spending $1.5 million on new crosswalks and other traffic improvements is one way to show you’re serious about pedestrian safety. On the other hand, making an enormous, plush crab mascot suit and forcing a police lieutenant to dance around in the hot sun proves you’re not messing around anymore. Now entering its third season, the city and state began full-scale promotion of the “Walk Smart” traffic safety campaign this week, ahead of predictably heavy traffic over the July 4 weekend. “It seems like just yesterday that we were kicking this off for last summer,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. “But this isn’t something you can say just once … each week, we’re looking at 200,000 new

people. We have to continue to repeat the message.” Since 2013, the Town of Ocean City, in conjunction with the Maryland State Highway Administration, Maryland State Police, and other agencies, has made a concerted effort to promote pedestrian safety along Coastal Highway, the eight-lane thoroughfare that, because of the resort’s natural geography, must be crossed by millions of pedestrians every summer. Among TV and billboard ads, roadside handouts, and other promotions, the most visible element of the campaign has been the yet-unnamed crab lifeguard mascot, now featured not just as a cartoon drawing, but as a real-life costumed character who will be out on the streets greeting visitors this weekend. Less visible, but more practically important, is the $1.5 million the state has already invested in highway improvements in the resort since 2012. These include new crosswalk markings and countdown signals at dozens of locations, expanded sidewalk bump-outs at intersections on Baltimore Avenue, and new signalized intersections between blocks that stop traffic for pedestrian crossings in high-volume areas. The newest of these is near 101st Street, across from the Clarion Hotel, which was installed and activated by the State Highway Administration just a few weeks ago. “The mid-block crosswalks have become a very important element and will continue to be so,” Meehan said. The Walk Smart campaign was a direct reaction to the high number of pedestrian collisions during the 2012 summer season, which included two deaths. Since the campaign began in earnest in 2013, there have been no subsequent fatalities. After an uptick in collisions at the very beginning of this summer, Ocean City Police Department Capt. Kevin Kirstin said, that pedestrian collisions year-to-date are now down 60 percent versus 2014. What the OCPD has seen, however, is an increase in bicycle-related incidents, leading the department and the SHA to expand the campaign with a “Bike Smart” component. Wrong-way signs have been installed in the bike lane on portions of Coastal Highway, reminding cyclists to always ride with traffic. The OCPD is also reminding cyclists to stop at all red lights, and never ride with earbuds or headphones. “Those are the two most common violations we see with bicycles,” Kirstein said. During a rollout press conference on Tuesday, Maryland Department of Transportation Deputy Secretary Dennis Schrader noted that the state’s $2 billion transportation spending package includes funding for work on both Route 113 and Route 404, critical access highways leading into Ocean City. “Gov. Hogan is also very committed to getting people into Ocean City safely,” Schrader said.

County to improve access with launch of new website New interface, new layout are highlights of design based on existing intranet

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Worcester County will be launching an updated version of its website within the next month or so, according to Information Technology Manager Brian Jones, because the existing site is in dire need of a “refresh.” The data found on the site, Jones said, isn’t really the issue — the organization of the departments, how users interact with the site and how the content is managed has grown beyond its current capabilities. “The current site has done well for what it is, but we need to change content on the fly and limit the cost of the software,” he said. The existing website depends on a particular piece of software, which requires the purchase of additional licenses per user, therefore limiting who could update the information on the site. “All of the old information will be on the new site. There won’t be a lot of additional data right away because we’re focused on people being able to find everything they’re looking for,” Jones said.

OCEANS MARKET 410-250-1927 Serving Ocean City Since 1970

Once taxpayers get comfortable using the new site, Jones said, then the changes will come. With the redesign, Jones said, that obstacle has been removed, which could mean more frequent updates. “In looking at this from the taxpayers’ perspective, we were left wondering how much people know about who the county commissioners are and how to get in touch with them. We really focused on that,” Jones said. Gone will be the text listings of names and phone numbers. The prototype, Jones said, was able to show large photos of each commissioner, their biographies and contact information. “The agendas and meeting minutes are right out in front where everyone can see them. We want the new site to be as transparent as possible,” he said. In addition, it will make better use of existing county assets. “We have some beautiful buildings here and in the county — let’s use them in photos. The courthouses, the towns — the county is a beautiful place,” he said. The new site will also interlock with its own ongoing social media efforts, and, for the first time, with those of the municipalities. “We’re going to highlight each town in the county where they had nothing before. All of our social media will also be tied in to one place,” Jones said.

OC brewery told: Release the Kraken July 5TH

Trademark scuffle leads to local business changing beer name to “Krusher”

Come to Our Anniversary Celebration!

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) If Ocean City is any indication, the hottest new topic in intellectual property law looks to be beer-naming rights. Ocean City Brewing Company has said that it will be re-naming its upcoming “Kraken” pale ale as “Krusher,” in response to a ceaseand-desist letter from attorneys representing Proximo Spirits, which owns the trademark to Kraken Black Spiced Rum. “I’m not planning to fight it,” OCBC owner Josh Shores said.

Specials Door Prizes Refreshments

“Money wins. They have more money to worry about a name than I do.” This is the second time litigation, or the threat of it, has arisen over beer in the resort. Backshore Brewing was forced to change to its current name last year after a suit against its original title, Shorebilly, by a T-shirt manufacturer of the same name. In a letter, Proximo’s attorneys assert that Shores’ branding is “identical to our client’s trademark and is used on goods that are identical to our client’s goods” and will “lead to consumers being confused, mistaken, or deceived as to the source of your goods.” According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office data-

base, Proximo has registered a trademark on “Kraken” that would cover almost all alcoholic beverages. However, it does not appear that the company yet produces any Kraken products other than rum. “My understanding is that they’re about to roll out a Kraken beer, so they’re going after everyone who has been using the name,” Shores said. “We could, theoretically, knock out their trademark because we were the first ones to actually produce it, and you can’t save a name forever. But it’s more trouble than it’s worth.” Several other breweries across the country produce a beer named “Kraken,” or some permutation thereof. At least one other that he has contacted has received the same letter from Proximo, Shores said.

Slow down near OC Spoils to help protect at-risk birds Baby Black Skimmers are too young to fly away from wake caused by fast boats

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) A small colony of Black Skimmers, listed as threatened or endangered in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, has taken roost on a small, unnamed island colloquially known as the Ocean City Spoils outside of the no-wake zone. The Coastal Bays Program is asking boaters to adhere to a self-imposed no-wake zone from the red #2 channel marker to the Route 50 bridge for the next month or so. As the holiday weekend approaches and boats increase in both size and number, this location is particularly inconvenient for humans and birds due to the proximity of the island to the navigation channel and the presence of baby birds unable to fly away from the danger. “The wake can really swamp out these birds and nests — even the high tide could do it,” Dr. Roman Jesien of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program said. Black Skimmers didn’t even nest in Ocean City last year due to their

low numbers, Jesien said. After about four weeks, Jesien said, the young birds will have learned how to fly and can escape the wake under their own power. “I don’t think it’s too much to ask everyone to slow down and extend the no-wake zone a bit. If you’re going too fast, you can miss seeing the birds, eggs and young anyway,” Jesien said. The program recommends boats travel at speeds of six knots or lower. “It’s just a small strip of land on the island where they decided to nest this time. Previously we’ve found them on Skimmer Island, but they’ve decided for whatever reason to make their home here this year,” Jesien said. Skimmers don’t swim, and so are unable to merely float away from danger. When threatened, they seek higher ground, Jesien said. In the coastal bays of Worcester County ,there were only two breeding colonies located during surveys in mid-June, containing 10 breeding pairs. A revisit to both colony sites on June 25 found that the larger colony had totally abandoned its breeding attempt and the only remaining active colony consisted of four pairs located on this small island near the navigation channel.

AAA projects 41.9M will travel for holiday (July 3, 2015) AAA projects 41.9 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home this Independence Day, the most since 2007 and a 0.7 percent increase compared to last year’s holiday. The Independence Day holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, July 1 to Sunday, July 5. “This Independence Day, more people will get in their cars, board airplanes, and take buses, trains and cruise ships to celebrate our nation’s freedom with friends and family,” said Ragina Cooper Averella, man-

ager of AAA Mid-Atlantic’s Public and Government Affairs. “Students all across the nation are also celebrating freedom from pencils and books, making this an ideal time for a family vacation. Independence Day is typically the busiest summer travel holiday for this reason, and this year more Americans are planning a holiday getaway than any year since 2007.” Rising income, driven by a strong employment market, is prompting more Americans to take a holiday trip this year. Despite recent seasonal in-

creases, gas prices remain well below year-ago levels, which has helped boost Americans’ disposable income. “Although some consumers are using their recent savings on gas to pay down debt and save, overall, Americans are planning to travel in record numbers,” Averella said. “Independence Day gas prices are expected to be the lowest in at least five years, a welcome sign for the 35.5 million people planning a holiday road trip.” Nearly 85 percent of travelers (35.5 million) will drive to their holi-

Travel by other modes of transportation including cruises, trains and buses, will increase 0.5 percent this Independence Day, to 3.2 million. AAA expects to rescue nearly 360,000 motorists at the roadside this Independence Day weekend, with the primary reasons being dead batteries, flat tires and lockouts.

WORLD WAR II: MINDANAO

Mindanao, Luzon fighting continue after liberation Army announced campaign success despite hostilities

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (July 3, 2015) This week, 70 years ago, the United States Army announced that the campaign to liberate the Philippine Island of Mindanao had been successfully completed, even though fighting would continue there and on the island of Luzon until the Japanese government surrendered. At 40,360 square miles Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippine Archipelago. The largest mountain in the Philippines, Mt. Apo, is located there, with a height of 9,692 feet above sea level. Mindanao is bounded by the Salou Sea to the west, the Philippine Sea to the east, Celebes Sea to the south and the Mindanao Sea to the north. Today it has a population of 25 million, with its largest city, and third largest city in the Philippines, Davao City, having a population of 1,500,000. It is located on the south of the island on Davao Gulf and is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. On March 10, 1945, the U.S. 8th Army, under the command of Lt. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger began its assault on Mindanao. Gen. Gyosaku Morozumi was in command of the island’s defenses. He had at his disposal 58,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen. In addition to the Imperial Japanese Army, the 32nd Naval Special Base Force, commanded by Rear Adm. Naoji Doi, also contributed to the island’s defense. Three divisions from Eighth Army’s X Corps, commanded by Gen. Franklin C. Sibert, were assigned the task. After three days of bombardment by the 13th Air Force, commanded by Gen. Nathan F. Twining, and naval forces, commanded by Adm. Alfred Gallatin Noble, two regiments of the 41st Infantry Division, under the command of Maj. Gen. Sam A. Duncan, landed on the peninsula of Zamboanga about three miles west of Zamboanga City, on March 10. The 41st Infantry Division was a National Guard Division drawn from Idaho, Montana, Oregon, North Dakota and Washington. Today, Zamboanga City has a population of 800,000 and is the sixth most populous city in the country. Defending the city was the 9,000man 54th Independent Mixed

WORLD WAR II: MINDANAO

Heavy fighting in Philippines continues

Brigade, commanded by Lt. Gen. Tōkichi Hōjō. The naval and air bombardment drove the defenders out of their defensive positions and the city was quickly occupied, as the Japanese defenders fled into the hills behind the city. They held there until March 23, when they finally broke under the combined weight of the continuous shelling from Adm. Noble’s ships, and bombing by Gen. Twining’s planes. Finally, on March 31, Gen. Hōjō ordered his forces to retreat north up the peninsula. This operation resulted in the deaths of 220 Americans and 6,400 Japanese, one of whom was Gen. Hōjō, on May 26, 1945. The 24th Infantry Division, commanded by Maj. Gen. Roscow B. Woodruff, landed, unopposed, at Parang, on April 17, 1945. It quickly united with Filipino guerillas, under the command of Col. Wendell Fertig, whose 108 Guerrilla Division, commanded by Lt. Col. Charles W. Hedges, had captured the town of Malabang and its airstrip, at a cost of 38 casualties in early spring. Parang currently has a population of 73,000 and is located on the Illana Bay in the Muslim province of Maguindanao, while Malabang is half that size and is also located on the Illana Bay in the Muslim province of Lanao del Sur, immediately to the north of, and bordering on Maguindanao. Gen. Woodruff’s division then headed for Davao City. After traveling 115 miles, the 24th Division arrived at Davao City on May 3. It, and its Filipino allies, captured the city from the Japanese 100th Division, commanded by Lt. Gen. Jiro Harada, on May 17, at a cost of 350 American dead and 1,615 wounded, 2,800 Filipinos killed and 7,455 wounded and

a4,500 Japanese casualties. One of those American casualties was PFC James H. Diamond, from Gulfport, Miss. who was killed on May 14, 1944. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, posthumously, and is buried at the Evergreen Cemetery in Gulfport. On April 22, 1945, the 31st Infantry Division, commanded by Maj. Gen. Clarence A. Martin, landed. This was also a National Guard Division composed of men from Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. Gen. Martin’s division captured Malabalay on May 21 from the Japanese 30th Division, commanded by Gen. Jin Mori. Today that city has a population of 150,000 and is the capital of Bukidnon Province, in the center of the island. After being driven from Malabalay and Davao City, the Japanese gathered for a last stand at what is now General Santos City, which is named for Filipino Gen. Paulino Torres Santos Sr., who died in Japanese custody on August 29, 1945. It is the southernmost city in the country and today has a population of 540,000, including “Manny” Pacquiao. Finally, in mid-August, the Japanese succumbed to a mixed force of Americans and guerrillas. During the campaign, the Americans suffered 820 fatalities and 2,880 wounded. The Japanese had 10,000 killed, 8,000 deaths from disease and starvation and 7,000 wounded. At the end of the war, another 22,000 emerged from the jungles. The fall of the Philippines was especially fatal to Japanese defenses. The sea lanes between the Home Islands and the resource-rich southern regions were now irretrievably severed by American air and sea power based in the Philippine Islands. The cost to Japan of its attempted

defense of the Philippines was heavy as well – 500,000 soldiers, to say nothing of the loss of its naval and air power. NEXT WEEK: BOMBING JAPAN

POLICE/COURTS

Forty-six traffic violations Markus Harris, 27, of Easton, Md. was arrested close to midnight on June 25 for driving recklessly, fleeing from police and causing multiple accidents before crashing and flipping his car. Ocean City police officers followed Harris after he allegedly caused a scene inside a convenience store. According to the report, as he was exiting the parking lot, he entered the highway without stopping, drove over the curb and cut off another car. He preceded to make unsafe lane changes at a fast speed while it was

raining and a passerby stopped police to say he was almost killed by Harris’s reckless driving. At this point, police initiated a traffic stop and the report stated Harris was slurring his words. He could not provide his driver’s license and police could smell alcohol on his breath. When the officer returned to his vehicle, Harris allegedly accelerated from the traffic stop and fled the scene. He continued to drive erratically down Coastal Highway while several police cars were chasing him, the report states. Eventually, Harris lost control and

slammed into another car, which injured a seven-year-old boy, according to the report. Harris continued to keep driving and allegedly stuck another car causing severe damage. After striking the second vehicle near 58th Street, Harris lost control of his car again, struck a curb, drove over a sidewalk, damaged an unoccupied pedestrian bench, hit a utility wire and flipped his car over, which landed on its side, the report states. Harris was injured from the crash and taken to the Peninsula Regional Medical Center. He was discharged with instructions for acute alcohol in-

toxication disorder. An open can of beer was allegedly found inside his car. Harris was charged with driving while impaired by alcohol, driving while intoxicated by alcohol, attempting to flee police, fleeing the scene of a crash, driving without a license, having an open container and 40 other driving violations.

He was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

Untaxed cigarettes Merysol Mendez-Reyes, 50, of Newark, N.J. was arrested on June 22 for transporting and possessing untaxed cigarettes. Worcester County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office deputies stopped Mendez-Reyes for negligently driving on Route 113.

Indecent exposure Brett Moran, 29, of Plains, Pa. was arrested on June 23 for indecent exposure. Ocean City police officers could allegedly see the bottom of Moranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buttocks as they were driving down Coastal Highway. When they tried to approach Moran, he ran and several officers

were able to stop him shortly after fleeing, the report states. Police stated he appeared to be extremely intoxicated and they could smell alcohol on his breath.

Hit and run Joshua Arnold, 24, of Rockville, Conn. was arrested on June 23 after he hit a road sign and left the scene. An Ocean City police officer was flagged down by a witness who said Arnold drove onto the median strip and stuck a road sign with such force that the sign broke off its base, according to the report. As police were talking with the witness, Arnold approached the scene in his vehicle with no headlights on and one of his tires appeared flat, the report states. The officer initiated his emergency lights as Arnold blew past a stop sign and backed into a parking space. When police told Arnold to get back into his vehicle he allegedly took off running. The officer chased Arnold for several blocks until he fell and police were able to place handcuffs on him, according to the report. Police noted Arnold had a strong alcoholic odor on his breath and at the public safety building he allegedly blew a .11. He was charged with driving a vehicle on a suspended license, driving under the influence, failure of driver to stop after an accident, driving on a median strip and attempting to elude police by fleeing on foot.

PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS MATTER Ocean City Today

JULY 3, 2015

PAGE 51

Are Your Private Property Rights Being Jeopardized in Ocean City, MD?

The Town of Ocean City elected officials are currently considering adoption of the new zoning district R-1A, which would prohibit short-term (AKA vacation) rentals. Residential neighborhoods would be able to apply for this new designation and if approved by the Mayor and Council, rentals whose

leases are shorter than 12 months would be banned in those neighborhoods. This measure directly impacts all single family investment properties in Ocean City.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

• ATTEND

the Ocean City Mayor and Council’s next meeting on

Monday, July 6, 2015 @ 6 p.m. in City Hall • 301 Baltimore Avenue and let them know you are concerned about your right to purchase and rent a single family home in Ocean City.

• WEAR RED

to STOP this violation of private property rights.

• CALL CITY HALL

at 410-289-8221 to request more information.

• EMAIL THE MAYOR & COUNCIL

www.oceancitymd.gov/oc/cityhall/mayor-and-city-council

IF YOU DO

NOT

ACTIVELY OPPOSE THIS MEASURE

there is a very real possibility that it will be approved, setting a dangerous precedent that could spread throughout the State of Maryland

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED EXPANSION OF RIDDLE FARM SANITARY SERVICE AREA FOR PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER SERVICE ON SAMUEL BOWEN BOULEVARD AND CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM IN THE EXPANDED SERVICE AREA WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND In accordance with the provisions of Sections PW 5-305(b) and PW 5307(b) of the Public Works Article of the Code of Public Local Laws of Worcester County, Maryland, the Worcester County Commissioners will hold a concurrent public hearing to consider proposed expansions to the Riddle Farm Sanitary Service Area and the estimated cost of construction to extend public water service to the expanded service area to serve commercial properties along Samuel Bowen Boulevard (the U.S. Route 50 Service Road) as follows: 1. Expansion of the Riddle Farm Sanitary Service Area to include certain properties located to the south and west of the existing Riddle Farm Sanitary Service Area located along Ocean Gateway/U.S. Route 50, Samuel Bowen Boulevard and Greys Corner Road (MD Route 707). A. The sewer expansion area includes the properties identified on Worcester County Tax Map 26 as Parcels 107, 258, 259, 298, 299, 300, 322, 368, and 455 along US Route 50 and Samuel Bowen Boulevard, and on Tax Map 26 as Parcels 97, 98, 99, 101, 102, 104, 105, 106, 127, 246, 247, 249, 250, 251, 336, 347, 351, 394, 420, and 440 in the Grey's Corner Road area.

After reviewing all of the applicable information with respect to the proposed expansion, County staff finds that: the expansion is desirable for the comfort, convenience, health, safety and general welfare of the people who will or may in the future be served by the proposed expansion; the proposed construction and operation is feasible from an engineering and economic standpoint; the proposal is in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare of all residents of the County; the proposal will not be unduly detrimental to the environment or the County; and the design and operation of the facilities included in the proposal are in accordance with all required permits and applicable standards. 3. The total cost of the public water expansion project by the

County is estimated at $620,000.00 which will provide a total of 267 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) of water service. Funds will be borrowed from the County’s General Fund at an interest rate of 2.0%. The loan will be repaid by customers through an estimated payment of $2,400.00 per EDU for construction costs and an estimated $6,323.00 per EDU for equity contribution for a total payment of $8,723.00 per EDU for public water service. Once the loan is repaid, additional EDU payments will be credited to the Riddle Farm Sanitary Service Area as equity contributions. 4. By separate agreement, the public sewer EDU payment is $23,535.00 of which $4,926.00 per EDU represents the equity contribution to the County and the remaining $18,609.00 per EDU is for construction costs/fees to the developer, WGC EDU, LLC. The public hearing on this matter will be held on: TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2015 at 10:30 A.M. in the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING ROOM ROOM 1101 - COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER ONE WEST MARKET STREET, SNOW HILL, MARYLAND 21863 Copies of the staff report and any associated documents may be reviewed at the Department of Environmental Programs, Room 1306 Worcester County Government Center, Snow Hill, Maryland 21863 between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday (except holidays).

As of Friday, we will begin building a new site with Villagesoup.com, a web company founded and operated by Maine-based newspaper publishers.

The advantages of this move are numerous: great organization of stories and photos, ease of access, a built-in newspaper editorial and production system and the opportunity for our customers to take advantage of a major digital marketplace solution at low cost but with all the space they need to get their message out to readers.

And you’ll still be able to get there through

The disadvantages are temporary: it will take a while to get this exactly the way we want it as we get used to a new way of doing things.

Please bear with us. We think you’ll like how it turns out.

The Spice and Tea Exchange arrives on 67th St. in OC

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Joy Quinn-Whalen recently opened her fourth Spice and Tea Exchange in the 67th Street TownCenter featuring hundreds of varieties and flavors of spices and teas. “There are a lot of people coming from various areas to Ocean City for a week or more,” Quinn-Whalen said. “They can come get what they need in smaller quantities during vacation.” About 75 custom rubs are handblended by The Spice and Tea Exchange, which “guarantees a fresh, handmade, personalized experience.” In addition, an array of spices, teas, sugars, salts, accessories, rice selections, custom blends and rubs are available for purchase in Ocean City. “Knowing the quality of ingredients is what differentiates us,” QuinnWhalen said. “We are a unique store for the area.” The specialty shop is modeled after an 18th century trading post with wooden beams and apothecary jars to take visitors back in time. Adding a blend or rub to fish, chicken, pastas and other dishes is cheap, gives the dish added flavor and takes no time at all, she said. “Putting a sweet onion or sugar rub on bacon — it tastes great and all you did was add one of our blends,” Quinn-Whalen said. “There are many seafood seasonings or barbecue blends. It’s a simple solution for a predinner snack for veggies or chips and dip. They are very versatile and intended to make cooking simpler and more fun.” She explains how blends and spices are easy for average cooks to add flavor without effort or training. Quinn-Whalen owns and operates additional locations in Alexandria, Va., Annapolis, Md. and Rehoboth Beach, Del. “Rehoboth has been great and allowed us to get experience with people from all over the country,” she said. They were able to see how The Spice and Tea Exchange managed with higher volumes of people and foot traffic. Before opening up her first shop in 2010, Quinn-Whalen was an independent business consultant who offered financial recommendations to retail and wholesale companies. “I wanted to do something different and started looking for a small business I could make happen,” she said. “I visited a shop [Spice and Tea Exchange] in Florida, started smelling the flavors and eventually decided to open up in my neighbor-

about the space adding value and foot traffic. Quinn-Whalen said she always has her eye on a couple places. The Spice and Tea Exchange is located in the 67th Street TownCenter past Longboard Café and next to Summer House. It is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (July 3, 2015) During the 2015 Board of Directors meeting, the National Association of Realtors approved a partnership its wholly-owned subsidiary Realtors Property Resource and another company, UpStream RE, LLC, to create a data entry and collection system for the brokerage community using the RPR advanced multi-list platform. The system will give brokerages a single place to input their listing data for distribution on multiple platforms online including Realtor.com, local MLSs and broker websites. The initiative will be funded using NAR operating reserves over 36 months, at a net amount not to exceed $12 million. Prior to the vote on the data entry system, NAR CEO Dale Stinton described this latest initiative as an important strategic “pivot” for NAR and RPR that helps brokers maintain control of their listing data while accomplishing long-sought technology objectives of real estate brokerage companies, MLSs and associations. The partnership will create a single backend entry point for all listing data that is then distributed to all the endpoints identified by the broker. In other actions, the board adopted the Realtors’ commitment to excellence under which NAR members strive for excellence in a number of competencies, including the NAR code of ethics, the laws and regulations affecting real estate, and one’s advocacy efforts on behalf of strong real estate markets and healthy communities. The commitment to excellence also extends to the way Realtors interact with one another, consumers and the need to maintain one’s professional education. The commitment also asks broker-owners and principals of real estate companies to maintain an environment that promotes excellent customer service. The board also adopted a plan to support lending, counseling and other programs intended to help so-called boomerang buyers enter the home buying market with confidence and the resources to succeed. Boomerang buyers are households that lost their home during the Great Recession and are now considering entering the market again. See MEETING Page 70

These awards are to recognize associations doing an exemplary job using resources from NAR’s housing opportunity, smart growth and diversity programs. The award will be given out every other year. And, to help ensure new associations of Realtors are prepared to meet NAR’s core standards, the board amended the member association application form to address their obligation to meet the standards. Associations are also required to sign a new core standards certification. The Coastal Association of Realtors was the first association to complete NAR’s new core standards in Maryland.

Family owned sweet shop moves from Pines to resort

KARA HALLISSEY/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Yummy Sweet Shop may have moved from Ocean Pines to 82nd Street in Ocean City, but its selection of homemade cupcakes, cake pops, custom cakes and candy along with ice cream from Chesapeake Bay Farms has stayed the same.

Continued from Page 70 to October, the sisters are busy every weekend. “The last wedding we did was 300 guests and they had a cupcake stand and candy bar,” Johnson said. “If it’s not a wedding, we are getting ready for a birthday party or anniversary.” Candy buffets or dessert bars are edible displays that can be utilized as a dessert option or serve as party favors for guests to take home. Selling Chesapeake Bay Farms ice cream out of the shop has allowed the dynamic duo to add cup shakes, cupcake sundaes, milkshakes, gourmet cones and banana splits to its menu selection. A cupcake sundae consists of two scoops of ice cream with a cupcake, cherry and whipped cream. Customers can also choose to have a cupcake floating or blended into their milkshakes. “These two options have become very popular,” Johnson said. The full-service sweet shop additionally offers cake pushpops, brownies, cookies, cannolis, macaroons, toys and stuffed animals.

Kara and Julie have always vacationed in Ocean City and their family owned a house in Ocean Pines while they were growing up. “Everyone ended up moving here — I was the last one,” Johnson said. Yummy Sweet Shop is a family affair: Their dad and brothers helped out with the building at the new location and Mom does all of the graphics — including the logo. The original store opened up in 2010 and Johnson credits its customers with its success. “It’s a lot of work to make a majority of our products homemade, but the customers are why we enjoy it so much and they make it worth it,” Johnson said. “We have the best customers, I am so happy when they stop by.” Yummy Sweet Shop on 82nd Street is be open year round and is a great option for the holidays. “Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday, I love how everyone is happy and the guys come in and pick whatever they want,” Johnson said. Stop by any day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. or on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Ocean City Tuna Tournament final registration July 9

LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Caitlin Adams is joined by friends, family and supporters as she makes here way to the Ocean City Boardwalk Arch at North Division Street last Saturday. Adams began her 390-mile run on May 23 in Cumberland, Md. to raise funds for Limbs for Life, a non-profit organization that supplies prosthetic limbs to those who cannot afford them.

Runner completes Maryland trek Adams finishes 390-mile journey in OC, raises more than $26K for Limbs for Life

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Some college freshmen can’t be depended upon to reliably call their parents, let alone keep an appointment with an unrelated newspaper reporter. “Sorry I’m late,” Caitlin Adams said after returning a call 15 minutes past the scheduled meeting time. “I was out running,” she said. It’s a perfectly acceptable excuse, except when you consider that the 18year-old college freshman had just completed a 390-mile trek from one end of the state to the other only two days earlier. “I’m kind of addicted now,” she said. Adams began her run on May 23 in Cumberland, Md. after deciding running across the state was a thing she could do and finding a charity she could raise money for in the process. She chose Limbs for Life, a non-profit organization that supplies prosthetic

limbs to those who cannot afford them. At the time, she said she chose Limbs for Life because of the way the charity was structured — first-come, first-served. It didn’t matter if you were born without a limb, underwent an amputation or lost it in the line of duty. She also said she would be happy to raise $20,000 — a number she picked out of a hat, essentially, as a goal to pursue. She had exceeded that goal by more than $2,600 as of Thursday. Even though her run has concluded, she is still receiving contributions through her website: www.crowdrise.com/CaitlinsMdRun-Prosthetics. Each limb provided by Limbs for Life costs about $2,500, Adams said. “The weather was bad but a lot of people still came out to support me. I was running on pure adrenaline at the time,” Adams said. “I had decided to take it slow and enjoy it, but the people I was running with didn’t agree that I was taking it slow.” She had frequent guests on her journey, and college, high school and

special friends like her boyfriend and mother, joined her to cross the final bridge last Saturday morning. “I was going faster than I thought,” Adams laughed. After crossing the Route 50 bridge, she was joined by Shannon Simm and her two-year-old son, Nathan, who helped organize “Caitlin’s Big Finish” under the Boardwalk Arch. Nathan was born with Fibular Hemimelia, a congenital disorder characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the fibula, resulting in an amputation in 2013. Simm was not a benefactor of Caitlin’s run, but according to Sharon, “he could have been.” Sharon started a Facebook Page, “Standing with Nathan,” as a resource for amputees in Worcester County. “Caitlin and Limbs for Life help people such as my son,” Simm said in a previous interview. “I’m just trying to get everyone involved.” Adams met Nathan for the first time last Friday evening when she was invited to throw out the first pitch at the Delmarva Shorebirds game. Adams said she brought See CAITLIN Page 74

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 3, 2015) Bluefin, yellowfin and big eye tuna are what anglers will be searching for during the 28th annual Ocean City Tuna Tournament next weekend. “Bluefin and big eye fishing are picking up. Yellowfin is decent,” tournament director Jennifer Blunt said Wednesday. During the Tuna Tournament, anglers on both charter and private boats may hook a single bluefin per day. Three yellowfin, which tend to be smaller than bluefin, may be caught per person per day. There is no limit to the number of big eyes a team may catch, although they may only weigh up to five fish per tournament day. Early registration for the 28th annual tournament ends today, July 3, at 5 p.m. The cost is $800 to enter. Final registration will take place Thursday, July 9, from 3-7 p.m. at the Fishing Center in West Ocean City. A captains’ meeting will follow. For those who miss early registration, the cost is $900 per boat (maximum six anglers). There are 10 added entry-level calcuttas, or wagering pools, this year. Cost to enter those range from $200 to $5,000. Anglers may enter into one or all of the added entry-level categories, which, if they place on the top of the leader board, could substantially increase the amount of prize money they receive. New this year is Level J Heaviest Stringer Jackpot Winner Takes All. The cost to enter the calcutta is $2,500. The Level F Pro Tuna Jackpot Winner Takes All costs $5,000 to enter, but it pays off for the angler with the heaviest single tuna as long as he or she signs up for the calcutta. In 2014, 41 of the 80 tournament boats entered and the Level F pot itself totaled $189,000. Last year, nearly $530,000 was paid out to tournament winners. For 2015, tournament fishing is permitted Friday through Sunday, July 10-12. Anglers will fish two of the three days. Catches will be weighed at the Ocean City Fishing Center from 4-7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, July 10-11, and until 7 p.m. Sunday, July 12. There is no cost to watch the weigh-ins, which are open to the public. To speed up the weigh-in process, See WEIGH-INS Page 77

Caitlin Adams: At no time did I think of giving up Continued from Page 73 Nathan out with her and let him throw the pitch. The next day they were running across the Route 50 bridge together. “When we got to the bridge it really hit me that this is over, but it was one of the best parts of the entire run — one of the reasons I did this is so kids like Nathan can do anything they want,” she said. He’s an inspiration and he doesn’t even know it yet.” Adams said her run might be over, but the spirit that generated the idea remains. “I want to keep it going a little bit; I don’t want the message to go away,” she said. “There’s so much attention on negative things. People love negative things. I’d like to make it so the focus is on the positive.” What she learned during her journey were things she said she already knew. Meeting the people she did and seeing the things she saw, Adams said, made her realize how lucky she is. “I’ve got my parents, my legs, vision, you know? I’m stronger than I think I am,” she said. “At no time did I think of giving up. I never got tired of it, and I never gave up.”

At the end of her 390-mile run across Maryland, Caitlin Adams is greeted by supporters at the Ocean City Boardwalk Arch on North Division Street last Saturday.

OCMC’s 33rd Canyon Kick Off this weekend

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 3, 2015) The Ocean City Marlin Club’s 33rd annual Canyon Kick Off Tournament begins today and runs through Sunday. “[It’s] one of our more successful tournaments,” OCMC President Franky Pettolina said last week. “It has strong participation, and is free entry to boat members. Fishing is usually decent.” Fishing days are Friday through Sunday, July 3-5. Participants will fish two of the three days. Boats may

leave from Indian River inlet or Ocean City inlet. Weigh-ins will take place from 5-7:30 p.m. at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City each day. Cash prizes will be awarded for white and blue marlin, sailfish, spearfish and swordfish releases, as well as for the largest tunas and dolphins brought to the scale. “Fishing has been good for all species. Good numbers of tunas and mahi [and] quite a few marlin are around as well,” Pettolina said Wednesday. “Weather looks OK for Friday and Sunday, Saturday a little

iffy. Should be a good turnout.” Added entry-level calcuttas are offered in the meat fish (tuna and dolphin), bluefin tuna and billfish (blue and white marlin, sailfish, spearfish and swordfish) divisions. Anglers can win additional prize money if entered into these calcuttas. The billfish division is catch-and-release only. An awards banquet is scheduled for Sunday, July 5 from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Marlin Club. Hurricane Arthur may have forced organizers of the OCMC’s 32nd annual Canyon Kick Off to adjust last

year’s tournament format, but it didn’t stop anglers from fishing. Participants were originally scheduled to fish two of three tournament days, but because of Arthur rolling through, the competition turned into a fish one of two days event. A total of 57 boats carrying approximately 285 anglers registered for the Canyon Kick Off. All teams fished on the second day, and a total of $30,510 was paid out to tournament winners.

cate meighan inside going out ou can tell by the traffic that this is gearing up to be one of Ocean City’s busiest weeks of the year, can’t you? Welcome to everyone visiting us from Pennsylvania, Jersey, Delaware and wherever else! You all are the reason that we are one of the most popular resort towns and vacation spots in the country, so thank you for that! If you were in town last weekend, did you brave the stormy weather on Saturday to take part in the OC Scavenger Hunt? Ryan Evans of Lindy Promotions told me that in spite of the threatening weather, everything was simply fantastic. Nearly 50 teams gathered to compete for the trophy and grand prize of $500, which ultimately was awarded to team Big Booty Judy. According to Ryan, this was the largest OC Scavenger Hunt to date and it will most definitely be returning next year. In fact, it was so successful that Lindy Promotions is considering doing more than one here next year. If you missed out on the fun then Ryan wanted to be sure that everyone is aware of the fact that there will be a scavenger hunt held on Saturday, Aug. 1 in Dewey Beach, Del. It will not directly mirror the hunt in OC, that way participants can enjoy the surprises of both scavenger hunts equally. The after party alone might be worth the cost of tickets. I stopped into The Blue Ox on 127th Street to celebrate with the teams and even the weather couldn’t ruin the seemingly contagious great mood. It was also cool to see teams scattered all over the place, totally bonding with each other. If you’re interested in joining in the fun of the Dewey Beach Scavenger Hunt then check out www.lindypromo.com for more information.

Here are a few events taking place this weekend: Ocean City: •Uptown Concert and Fireworks: At Northside Park on 125th Street, The Janitors kick off a free concert Saturday at 8 p.m. followed by fireworks at 9:30 p.m. The National Anthem will lead the patriotic show. “Northside Park is a spectacular place for families to watch the colorful

displays light up the evening sky and lagoon,” Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan stated in a press release. “We encourage spectators to get there early to claim their spot to watch the fireworks,” which visitors can catch from anywhere in the park. Call 1-800-626-2326 or 410-2500125 for more information. •Downtown Concert and Fireworks: A free concert on the beach at North Division Street in downtown Ocean City featuring The Reagan Years begins Saturday at 8 p.m. with a fireworks display following at 9:30 p.m. Meehan called the July 4 celebration “a unique opportunity to watch fireworks sparkle over the ocean.’’ “Our exceptional venue on Caroline Street allows visitors to bring beach chairs or blankets and claim a spot on the sand for a special and patriotic display,” he said.

Call 1-800-626-2326 or 410-2500125 for more information. Hot Dog-Eating Contest: Come by Fish Tales Bar & Grill on 22nd Street, bayside, Saturday at 2 p.m. for the eighth annual Independence Day “Top Dog” hot dog-eating contest. “Let’s see if we can get a local eater to bring the trophy back to Ocean City,” said Brandon Hemp, Fish Tales manager and contest coordinator. A stage will be assembled in the restaurant’s parking lot for the 10minute event, which is modeled after Nathan’s famous Fourth of July international contest. Bleachers will be set up in front of the stage for spectators. The “Top Dog” will take home $1,000 and a trophy. Cash prizes will also be awarded for second and third place.

JULY 3, 2015 Visitors should note that the Town of Ocean City is charging a $50 flat fee for all-day parking at the inlet lot on July 4. Visitors can arrive as early as 5:30 a.m. and stay until midnight without paying the hourly rate. The fee is good for one entry only. Those arriving after 3 p.m. pay $30 for the one-entry fee, which is based on availability. Once the inlet lot is full, visitors should seek neighboring parking lots on Worcester Street, Somerset Street, Dorchester Street, North Division Street, Fourth Street and the West Ocean City Park & Ride. Normal ticketed parking operations will return at midnight on July 5. Because parking is extremely limited at the downtown and uptown fireworks show locations, the town recommends that visitors take the bus.

Area boaters should also note that on the evening of July 4, the span of the Route 50 Bridge will remain closed to marine traffic from 9:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. The Route 50 Bridge will reopen and operate under the normal schedule for boaters at 11:30 p.m. on July 4. to bring a chair or blanket.

tournament, and of course, great food and drink specials to keep the party hopping. Debbie Maxfield, Brass Balls owner, took a minute to reflect on the last 35 years and how much OCMD has changed in that time. She believes that it is a comfort for visitors to return each year to a place that has given them great memories and has become part of their own vacation tradition. Debbie was also grateful to the vendors, staff and guests that helped to make the anniversary party a real success. Brass Balls Saloon has turned Monday into one of the best days of the week, or at least it is giving us all something to look forward to after a long day at work. Brass

Balls serves up a great time with Bad Ass Monday each week on the deck from 10 p.m. til closing with $3 Fireball shots, $3 Twisted Tea and Natural Lights are just $1. Happy hour is from 3-6 p.m. from Sunday through Friday and $5 will get you wings or steamed shrimp. Congratulations to the Decatur Diner, who is celebrating its fifth anniversary this weekend. Bill Rados and the gang are serving up 1960’s style diner food from 7 a.m. until dusk daily. The diner, located at 9609 Stephen Decatur Highway in West Ocean City, features one of the best breakfast menus in town and its grilled cheese is to die for. The Decatur Diner’s Pipeline Burger is loaded with home fries, eggs, onions, sausage, cheese and gravy.

While the crew is planning a low key celebration, wish them a happy anniversary if you stop in to grab a bite. Remember, If you’re headed out to Assateague Island you can always call ahead and order food to take with you since the diner is right on the way. Since it’s Fourth of July weekend I’m sure you are all wondering about fireworks so here are a few places that you’ll be able to catch them. On Friday, July 3, The Casino at Ocean Downs on Racetrack Road in Berlin will be lighting up the sky after dark. Northside Park on 125th Street on the bay will feature a free concert beginning at 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 4 followed by fireworks beginning at 9:30 See CATE Page 82

Dueling Pianos are up every Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday starting at 10:30 p.m. Steel Drums hit the stage every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 4-8 p.m. Pat O’Brennan performs every Tuesday 4-8 p.m. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 2-6 p.m. with great food and drink specials. Thursday nights in OC belong to Ropewalk and its Luau on the Beach from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Drink specials include Natural Light cans for just $1.50 and $4 will get you a Slushie, fireball or a variety of other specialty drinks. If you are a visitor to Ocean City then I’m going to strongly suggest that you spend some time at Fager’s Island before you head home. Located on 60th Street and the bay, the popular restaurant stats each week off with a bang via its I Love Mondays deck party. So

David Crocetti, Piaza owner and operator, tells me that his brand new restaurant has been nominated for Coastal Style Magazine’s award for the Eastern Shore’s Best 2015 Pizza. If you’re looking for a quick meal then you’ll want to stop in for one of Piaza’s popular pizza’s cooked in a 1,000 degree brick oven in just three minutes. Check out its web-

site at www.piazafresh.com for more info on the pizza, gourmet salads and grilled Piadas.

Children show off their knot-tying skills near the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum at the southern end of the Boardwalk. U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary members are back every Wednesday to demonstrate tying eight types of knots including a figure eight and securing a line to a cleat.

OC museum offers free programs

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) The Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual summer educational programs return on Monday with knot tying tutorials, information about sharks and a couple additional topics sure to interest Boardwalk visitors. The programs take place Monday through Saturday until Aug. 29 and can be enjoyed by adults and children. They last about 30 minutes and most take place on the Boardwalk at the tram station just north of the museum, at 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each class is hosted by people who know a lot about Ocean City in the subject they are talking about and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice family-friendly event to learn about the town,â&#x20AC;? Museum Cu-

rator Sandy Hurley said. During Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sessions, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ocean City Before Condominiumsâ&#x20AC;? program will detail what the resort was like before development and is aimed more toward adult audiences. The Ocean City Beach Patrol will lead a beach safety class on Tuesdays with information on rip currents, the job of a lifeguard, digging holes in the sand and prevention tips and semaphore flags. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for anyone, but geared toward kids. We use the sign on the back of the lifeguard stand as a guide and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extension of our Sunday safety seminars,â&#x20AC;? said Butch Arbin, Ocean City Beach Patrol captain. Children can look forward to giveaways such as pencils, coloring books and waterproof first aid kits.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mission is education and prevention is most important,â&#x20AC;? Arbin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once kids interact with us at the Life-Saving Station Museum program they will be more familiar with us. Parents can go through the coloring books with their children and help teach the beach safety message.â&#x20AC;? A favorite returning for the 24th year is lessons on knot-tying every Wednesday outside the museum at the southern end of the Boardwalk. U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary members are back to demonstrate eight different types of knots including a figure eight and securing a line to a cleat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People with boats pay close attention because we show exactly how to secure a knot,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Britvch, a U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary volunteer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids outperform the adults most of

Learn about Assateague horses Continued from Page 93 said. The Friday session, “An Island Tail: The Case of the Wild Horses,” is the newest addition to the program and made its debut last year. Kelly Taylor, science communicator at Assateague Island National Seashore, will unlock mysteries surrounding Assateague’s most popular residents — its wild horses. “If people are remotely interested in horses, they should come out for this program,” she said. “The wild horses of Assateague are fascinating animals; the more you learn about them, the more you’ll be able to appreciate them.” Taylor helps visitors understand wild horse behavior, she talks about how the horses came to Assateague Island, explains the horses’ social structure and informs about ways to

safely view them. Currently, there are 93 horses in a herd on the Maryland end of Assateague Island. They roam freely between the north end of Assateague and the state line, which is roughly 27 miles from the inlet, Taylor said. “People can come to the national seashore to catch a glimpse of the horses at any time,” she added. On Saturdays, visitors will gather inside the Life-Saving Station Museum to watch staff feed seahorses, sheepshead, horseshoe crabs and other sea creatures in the museum’s aquarium room while learning about the animals. The area was a former kitchen for Ocean City Life-Saving members so space is limited. Last year, around 1,600 people attended the museum’s free programs during its eight-week run, Hurley said.

Most of the Life-Saving Station Museum’s programs take place at the Boardwalk tram station, just north of the museum. The station has benches for guests to sit and a roof for protection from sun and rain, though the free programs will be canceled in cases of extreme conditions. The beach safety program on Mondays takes place on the Boardwalk directly in front of the museum and Saturday’s aquarium feeding program is inside the museum at 813 S. Atlantic Avenue, at the southern tip of the Boardwalk. The 30-minute programs take place Monday through Saturday at 10 a.m. starting July 6 and lasting through Aug. 29. Though they are free to attend. Admission to the museum costs $3 for adults, $2 for senior citizens age 62 or older and See SHARKS Page 95

ON GUARD

(Surf Rescue Technicians) Beach patrons encouraged to introduce themselves to those watching over water

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (July 3, 2015) Commonly referred to as lifeguards, the people responsible for your safety on the beach in Ocean City, are actually surf rescue technicians (SRT). Surf rescue technician is the certification obtained by the men and women in the red bathing suits who watch over the beach in the white stands, once they have successfully completed all testing, training and probation. We encourage beach patrons to introduce themselves to your SRT (lifeguard) and ask about current beach conditions. As you may know, beach conditions change daily. You never know what you might encounter. So please feel free to ask. Once a rookie has earned the title of surf rescue technician you will hear them referred to as “SRT Miller” or “SRT Johnson.” Although people still

refer to our personnel as lifeguards, the term surf rescue technician if far more appropriate due to the job demands, which far exceed a traditional lifeguard. Each SRT has demonstrated competency in the techniques and skills that are required for open water rescue. Their duties include educating the public, warning swimmers of potential dangers, rescuing distressed swimmers, responding to emergency situations, administering first aid, reuniting lost individuals, enforcing city ordinances and most often being the ambassador of Ocean City to our visitors who will approach our SRTS’s with any and all questions. The Ocean City Beach Patrol is on duty daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We start guarding the beach the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and continuing through the third Sunday after Labor Day (Sunfest weekend). The beach patrol tests potential SRTs beginning in August each year and on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend for the next year’s season. If you or someone you know would like to work for OCBP as a surf rescue technician, there will be a pre-employment physical skills test on Satur-

OCBP pre-employment physical skills test Aug. 8 day, Aug. 8. This test is for the 2016 summer season. We are looking for physically able, ambitious and responsible men and women who are 16 years of age or older. They must be 17 by the date of employment. For additional Pre-Employment Physical Skills Evaluation dates and locations, including mid-winter offsite locations, go to the official beach patrol site. Every candidate must have the ability to run in soft sand, swim in ocean water, enter and exit the ocean through the surf, move an unconscious person of 150 pounds, see for 400 meters, hear and locate a whistle blast from 300 meters, and speak and read the English language. To demonstrate these abilities, each candidate must pass a rigorous, physical test consisting of the different phases in succession that include a 300-meter soft sand run in under 65 seconds, 400-meter ocean swim in less than 10 minutes, simulated rescues in the surf with a rescue buoy, victim removal techniques, runswim-run medley, tower transport (lifeguard stand), holds and releases (escaping from a panicked victim), and lastly an interview with beach patrol Capt. Butch Arbin. It is indeed a long day of physical and mental tests. Once a candidate completes and passes all phases of the test they are appointed, on a probationary basis, to a surf rescue academy. Prior to entering academy, (and each year after), each employee must pass a drug test. Candidates receive instruction in open water rescues, beach patrol policies and procedures, basic oceanography, use of rescue equipment, first aid, CPR, semaphore communications (a series of signals using flags), radio protocol and physical training consistent with the demands of the job. All phases of surf rescue academy must be completed successfully as determined by the Ocean City Beach Patrol Surf Rescue Association to earn

SRT rank and assignment to the beach. Surf rescue academy is an eightday, 65 hour, paid-training program conducted by beach patrol instructors with support from other public safety agencies, followed by three weeks of supervised, on-the-job probation and a surf rescue academy re-qualifying test where candidates must pass the run and the swim again. Because of the uniqueness of the job’s demands, the Ocean City Beach Patrol does not accept certification or experience with other agencies. All aspects of becoming an SRT, as well as all certifications such as first aid, CPR and AED are completed during surf rescue academy. Now that you know what goes into the making of a surf rescue technician, you can feel confident when swimming under their watch. Our SRTs want to help you remain safe and enjoy your time in Ocean City. Don’t wait until you need help to meet your “lifeguard.” Make it a point introduce yourself and your family and ask about the current beach conditions. Your lifeguard will also know about the free family activities that are offered in Ocean City. They are happy to answer any questions that you may have. It’s also a good idea to introduce your children. We want them to feel comfortable if they get lost or have any questions. We pride ourselves on being the town’s ambassadors; after all, we are glad you are here. To help us keep you safe, always check in with the surf rescue technician on duty and if you hear a SRT blowing their whistle stop what you are doing and look at the SRT. They may be trying to get your attention because they know or see something that you are unaware of. Most importantly for the safety of you and your family, remember our slogan, “Keep your feet in the sand, until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” This simple tip could save a life…. YOURS!

Every Monday night at 5 p.m. during the summer, the Believe in Tomorrow House by the Sea on 66th Street has a cook out for families to meet each other, interact and enjoy a nice dinner on their first full day in Ocean City. The facility is open year-around to provide a getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Every Monday night at 5 p.m. during the summer, the Believe in Tomorrow House by the Sea on 66th Street has a cookout for families to mingle and enjoy a feast on their first full day in Ocean City. The intimate deck area has a few picnic tables, chairs and a table set up with most of the dinners each week generously donated by various restaurants in Ocean City and the surrounding areas. This year, Smoker’s BBQ Pit in West Ocean City and Pickles Pub on Eighth Street are cookout sponsors. “We feel like it’s a good way for the families to meet and develop bonds or friendships,” said Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program. “We see it every day, but we don’t know what they are going through and some become resources for each other.” It is apparent how bonds could be made between families after witnessing a Monday night cookout as everyone enjoys dinner and gets to

Believe in Tomorrow House by the Sea guests, from left, Craig and Tara Sankner, Alexa Allen and Tammy Sankner, behind, visit from Fairfax, Va. and look forward to participating in as many activities as possible in Ocean City including a visit to the Boardwalk and fishing.

Purpose of weekly dinners to make guests feel at ease know one another. “We think it’s a good way to kick off the week with some families very friendly and others more reserved,” Littleton said. “It’s a crowded area, they sit together and it opens them up. The goal is to make everyone feel at ease.” Tammy and Craig Sankner from Fairfax, Va. returned to Ocean City for the first time in more than 15 years this week and it’s the first visit to Believe in Tomorrow House with their daughter, Tara.

“It’s great for Ocean City to have a program like this and the rooms are amazing,” Tammy Sankner said. Tara Sankner, 10, has a form of brain cancer and had surgery on May 26 to remove a tumor. As she showed off her scars, she pointed to each one and said, “Peter Pan won this fight and Captain Hook won the other.” Sankner was able to bring her friend, Alexa Allen, along since she is an only child.

House getaway for ill children and families House in Ocean City for the second time with her son, Maddox, 10, who has a rare childhood cellular cancer. On their first trip, it was a celebration of Maddox’s birthday and surf lessons highlighted their time in the resort. “We are trying to do as much as we possibly can,” Boal said. “He said ‘mom, I really want to go to the beach. Why don’t we go back to where we stayed before?’” Boal called Believe in Tomorrow, and when she heard space was available, the whole family screamed in delight at a visit to Ocean City.

Continued from Page 101 They had not seen each other for more than a year and it was a nice reunion. The group plans on fishing, taking surfing lessons, a trip to Jolly Roger Amusement Park, laser tag and of course a visit to the Boardwalk. On Monday, Sankner already had a new pet hermit crab named “Ocean” and parasailed 600 feet in the air over Ocean City. “It was so much fun,” Sankner said. Kristi Boal from Punxsutawney, Pa. visited Believe in Tomorrow

“It’s awesome you have this program in general, a nice getaway from the thought of treatment and real life,” she added. Littleton recalls a couple weeks ago when the Ocean City Air Show was taking place in town and all the families became best friends and did everything together. “You would have thought they knew each other and it was something I had never seen before in my 14 years working here. I probably may never see again,” he added. “On Friday night they asked to have their own cook out together, it was really

nice.” The facility on 66th Street is open year-around to provide a getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness. Each of the four condos feature kid-friendly décor and paintings with at least two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a fully-stocked kitchen, living and dining room areas. Fundraisers help raise money to provide essential week-long excursions for critically ill children and their families.

Differences between flank and skirt steak Continued from Page 102 creativity and how does it relate to a chef are up for consideration. I think it is fair to say that there must be an added element of newness and value. In other words, originality that is also exemplary must be incorporated into each and every dish. Delicious food is the goal and the human mind is the door to endless gastronomical possibilities. There is another factor that should be considered and often overlooked. The recipients of cookery must have a certain level of proficiency in order to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of a chef. As a result, choosing a menu that reflects the style and talent of the guests you are cooking for is an important factor to keep in mind. That being said, I have decided to

have a small gathering to celebrate the Fourth of July. My guest list will include 10 close friends who know each other quite well. They enjoy entertaining and their palette reflects a certain level of sophistication. This allows me the freedom to venture beyond fundamental quests and prepare a more elevated meal. Hot dogs, crispy fried chicken and spicy steamed crabs are just a few of the mouth-watering favorites during the summer months of fun. So I immediately forgo these options, redundancy is not in my repertoire of inspiration. A grilled flank or skirt steak sounds yummy. In most recipes, they can be used interchangeably, but there are some differences. First lets review some of their similarities.

Flank and skirt steaks are bold and brawny, packed with beefy flavor and contain loose-knit flesh which is ideal for absorbing marinades. Whatever the heat source, pull the steak off once the center hits rare to medium rare temperature. Anything more will yield a tough and chewy steak. Slice the meat across the grainy muscle fiber at a 45-degree angle into thin strips. Not only will this add to the presentation but it will also maximize tenderness. While both are sliced from the underbelly of the cow, skirt steak has the advantage of being richer and more marbled with fat. It also has more intense beefy essence and tends to take the marinade even better than a flank steak. A skirt steak is more expensive than a flank steak but worth

the extra money. As a result, skirt steak takes top honors. Now I must decide what type of a sauce to accompany the steaks. My first impression is to make a horseradish cream sauce, but it is a little outdated. I also want to go with a topping that will highlight the season. Salsas are always popular and easy to make. The combination of tequila and lime sparks my fancy. The addition of pineapple and mangos sounds divine. I consider grilling the salsa but quickly dismiss this option, grilled steak and grilled salsa would simply be too much of the charcoal theme. My menu is set. I can marinate the steak and prepare the salsa a day beSee TROPICAL Page 104

Psychic Medium Schmoyer in OC

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 3, 2015) Want to connect to loved ones who have passed on? Now just might be the opportunity to do that as Psychic Medium Justin Schmoyer will be spending the month of July in Ocean City and will host two events in the Sea Bay Hotel’s conference center on 61st Street, Thursday, July 9 and 23. The cost to attend each live reading session, scheduled from 8-10 p.m., is $25 in advance or $30 at the door. Seating is limited. To purchase tickets, visit www.ocmedium.com. There is no guaranteed reading with purchase of ticket, however, it is a smaller venue so chances are greater to receive a message. Doors will open at 7:40 p.m. Schmoyer suggests that guests come with an open heart and open

mind. He is looking forward to the shows and helping people heal and find closure after the loss of a loved one. The biggest message that comes through, he said, is that those who have passed on want those still living to continue to move forward. “Most people want to know their loved ones are OK. Whatever message comes through I feel is important for that person and trust it’s for the best,” he said. “It’s something you have to experience even if you don’t get a reading.” Around the age of 5, Schmoyer started seeing dead people. On a number of occasions he would awake to spirits at the foot of his bed watching over him and he said he would “know things” he had no way of knowing otherwise. The death of his father when he was a young boy opened him up to the

other side, he said. In his mid 20s–about 10 years ago– the number of occurrences increased and got more intense. “When my son was born it really opened me up to the other side. I was about 25 then and starting to understand my ‘gift,’” he said. “But his presence in my life, in crazy ways, helped me to understand my path as a psychic medium. My son actually came to me in a dream and said he was coming (granted I had no girlfriend at the time of the dream). My daughter I actually saw in full spirit sitting on my bed just weeks before conception.” He went to a counselor who suggested researching other avenues. He crossed paths with clairvoyants and mediums who changed the course of his life. He spent the next few years reading books and became an apprentice. As with any profession, he had to work and develop his “gift.” “We’re all wired to be intuitive. Not everyone is meant to or will,” he said. “Meditation is key.” He started doing readings for people in 2008. In 2011, he quit his job working as an office clerk at the Pennsylvania Capitol and started offering readings full-time. The 34-year-old spends most of his time doing phone readings or in-person meetings locally. Schmoyer, who

Justin Schmoyer

lives in Pennsylvania with his wife and two children, has started to travel more to do readings. “I’m the normalist dude you’ve ever met,” he said. “I’m the medium next door.” Schmoyer can see and feel things and he will describe that to his clients. He will often see loved ones behind or next to the person he is reading. He will hear names, places, or sometimes the spirit will point to things, sort of like Charades, he explained. He likes to provide evidence and specifics and offer insight and guidance. “It’s very much interactive,” he said.

Melissa Etheridge, Blondie to perform at Freeman Stage

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Melissa Etheridge and Blondie are co-headlining on almost a dozen dates this summer with a stop at The Freeman Stage at Bayside in Selbyville, Del. on Wednesday, July 8. “I have never toured with Blondie and will play with the band for the first time next week,” Melissa Etheridge said in a phone interview last week. “I opened for people in my early years, but have never had a

co-headlining tour.” Etheridge kicked off her nationwide summer tour with more than 50 dates at the beginning of June to promote her latest album, “This is M.E.,” her 12th, which was released this past fall. Her tour includes solo performances, full band gigs, festival stops and shows with Blondie and Joan Jett. “I have a whole lot going on and a new business set up,” Etheridge said. “A new independent label, See ETHERIDGE Page 108

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 3, 2015) Ocean City locals and visitors will recognize familiar places when they pick up a copy of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ocean City CoverUp,â&#x20AC;? the second novel in a mystery series starring the resort town and written by Greenbelt, Md. native, Kim Kash. Kim Kash â&#x20AC;&#x153;We visited Ocean City as a kid, bit I really got to know the town as an adult,â&#x20AC;? Kash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sister and I bought a condo in Ocean City after my mother died with an inheritance she left us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place we go to memorialize her and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about spending time with family.â&#x20AC;? The mystery series follows her main character, Jamie August, an Eastern Shore reporter, as she uncovers stories and finds herself in a few dangerous positions. Specifically, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ocean City Cover-

Upâ&#x20AC;? takes readers from Ocean City to Dubai as August befriends a spoiled heiress who is being pursued by Russian mobsters while juggling additional stories, a new boyfriend and a strict fitness plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mystery stories are very much comedic,â&#x20AC;? Kash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My style is rye and funny while still writing a good mystery.â&#x20AC;? Kash is not sure how many novels will be in the series, but she has already started working on a third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who knows how many stories I have in me about Ocean City,â&#x20AC;? Kash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond the third book, we will see what happens.â&#x20AC;? She was inspired to write the series after publishing a travel guide of Ocean City in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no question that researching and writing that book inspired the other,â&#x20AC;?

Commentary

R-1: should it stay or should it go?

The question that will be put before the Ocean City Council Monday night is not whether it should find another way to limit weekly rentals in single-family zoning districts, but whether the resort wants or needs singlefamily districts at all. Despite the uproar over the possible creation of an R1A district, where short-term rentals would not be permitted, the fact is rentals are already restricted in single-family, or R-1, zones. The zoning code states that household occupancies in these neighborhoods are limited to a family or to no more than four unrelated persons. That means no large groups of people or multiple families can rent or otherwise occupy a home. Consequently, the argument that R-1A zoning would strip property owners in these districts of the right to rent to whomever they please isn't accurate. That's because no one can take away something that has never existed. What has happened is that local government is unable, for legal or budgetary reasons, to enforce the R-1 restrictions already on the books. In addition, the need for enforcement wasn't an issue until recent years, as weekly rentals to large groups in these neighborhoods had never previously occurred. That lack of enforcement has been taken by some to mean there are no rental restrictions and is why the Planning Commission recently recommended the creation of an R-1A zone as another way to address the situation. The problem for the council is that the absence of rental limitations in single-family R-1 zones would make them more akin to the next district down in the zoning hierarchy, R-2A, which are primarily single-family homes, with a townhouse or two, and less restrictive occupancy rules. Unfortunately, the uproar over this attempt to contain weekly rentals in R-1 zones has caused property owners in other areas and in the real estate industry to fear that government could just as easily eliminate rentals in other parts of town. That just isn't the case. One, that would be financial suicide and two, governments can’t arbitrarily impose zoning changes on any neighborhood or area against the will of a majority of property owners. That's the law. A majority of the property owners has to request a change, a point that many people seem to be missing. As for what the creation of the R-1A zone would do, it would give single-family neighborhoods that wish to remain strictly single-family the right to apply for that zoning upgrade. That's it. Given that the issue is really whether single-family neighborhoods in Ocean City should be allowed to remain the same as those in any other town – and much less restrictive than those in Ocean Pines and other communities where homeowner associations make the rules – the council has two options. It can allow single-family neighborhoods to fade gradually into low-density multi-family zones or it can ensure their continuation. Editor and Publisher Stewart Dobson is a resident of Mallard Island, an R-1 district.

THE PUBLIC EYE Profanity has lost its zest By Stewart Dobson There was a time when a good expletive or two took care of everything. Say you somehow stapled a part of your anatomy to a nice piece of pine, because you were too cheap to hire a carpenter. Just the right word comes to mind without even thinking. You don’t pause and wonder, “Hmmm what’s a good expression for “I have stapled myself and it really hurts?” No, you already have on file a variety of wonderful words that will just pop out. It’s like OnDemand cursing, except it never says, “We’re sorry, but we’re unable to process your request.” Or, you mistakenly grab the two poles on an exposed electrical outlet as you demonstrate to a skeptical observer that, yes, you are capable of handling this little wiring job all by yourself and suddenly, as your body rotates on the floor at 3,000 rpm, a perfect one-word description of exactly how you feel squeaks out between spasms. “Duh-duh-duh-duh-duhduh-dayum!” Or something to that effect. And then, everything is better, aside from that skeptical observer who, on realizing that you have survived your Tilt-A-Whirl imitation, is crawling across the floor

because she is too weak from laughter. Unfortunately, however, our rapidly changing culture is robbing us of our ability to address these unforunate circumstances by issuing an extremely emphatic one- or two-word point. Cursing, in other words, is losing its zest because everyone’s doing it for no good reason. Gone are the days, for instance, when you could cause aging Cousin Clara to levitate by inadvertantly saying the wrong word at the wrong time. I was present, as it happens, when as kids my younger brother thanked her for a present by saying, “Hey, nice ........ socks!” Not that he had any idea at the time what ........ meant. An adjective is an adjective at that age, and this particular adjective apparently offered what he thought were good tonal qualities. Apparently, she had aerodynamic eyelashes, as they flapped so rapidly at his declaration that she cleared the floor by a good couple of inches, before gasping, “My pills, someone get my pills!” But if Cousin Clara were alive today, she wouldn’t just be levitating, she would be her own hovercraft. Just recently, as I was

driving up the highway with my windows down – and this is 100 percent true – I overhead a conversation between a middle-aged woman pedestian and whoever it was on the other end of the phone. “Get that ........ roof ........ fixed, you ........ bum before I ........ get home,” she said. All I can say is that somewhere along the line through constant use, the once dreaded and all-powerful FBomb has been reduced to more of an F-champagne cork. That being the case, you can just write off all the other good words that used to come in handy from time to time, such as when you staple yourself to a board. “Yow!” just doesn’t express the depth of pain and agony, not to mention the need to address strongly in personal terms the stapler itself, which, of course, was at fault all along. If this trend continues, we will reach a point in our society when someone somewhere will have an aging Cousin Clara walk in the house, beam happily to all at having been included in this family gathering, and hand over a present to a young recipient. “Here, you little ........ ......... These are nice ........ socks.”

Letters to the editor Thanks for help with buoy demo

Editor, A breeches buoy rescue hasn’t happened in Ocean City since 1941. On June 20 we didn’t have a rescue, but a breeches buoy re-enactment was presented by the Ocean City Life Saving Station Museum. The event was in honor of the 100th anniversary of the formation of the U.S. Coast Guard. The Life Saving Service, which later became the Coast Guard, has been a vital and welcome presence in Ocean City since 1878. The current station is an integral part of our town. We were delighted with the turnout for the re-enactment. It proves that our residents and visitors are appreciative of what the museum does and can provide to Ocean City. There are so many people, businesses and organizations to thank that I fear missing one. But, on behalf of the Board of the Ocean City Museum Society, let me give it a try. The Delaware Indian River Life Saving Station loaned us the equipment and actually performed the “rescue.” They do this on a regular basis, and Laura Scharle and her team are experts at it. They worked so hard to help us bring the event to fruition. The Ocean City Coast Guard Station

was an enormous help. Master Chief Timaree Sparks and Petty Officer Kyle Wood deserve special recognition. They were in the planning stages of the event and followed through to the end. The entire station crew couldn’t have been more helpful or been more cheerful throughout. The 21st century rescue they performed was impressive and amazing to watch. There never are enough good things to say about our Beach Patrol. They wanted to join in and give their version of a water rescue to add to the event. The crew on the beach, as always, was informative and friendly. A huge thank you to the various departments of the Town of Ocean City: The council for giving us permission to hold the event; Special events, for keeping things on track and helping with so many worrisome details; Public works for whom nothing is too much trouble. Their help with building the wreck-pole, securing the perimeter and many other details of the event were invaluable. The fire marshal, police department and paramedics provided their usual outstanding services. Delmarva Power helped us enormously by erecting the wreck-pole (simulation of a mast). That was quite an operation to watch. Bob Rothermel was instrumental in helping us over so many hurdles and

providing an outstanding sound system for the day of. The local media were very helpful in spreading the word about the event. On the evening before the re-enactment a celebration dinner was held at the Clarion. We were honored to have Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard Steven W. Cantrell as the guest speaker. It was heartwarming to see past members of the Coast Guard who had served in Ocean City mingling with the young men and women who serve here

now. Dinner was a huge success in large part to the Clarion. We are asking anyone who was in attendance at the re-enactment to share their thoughts with us. We would like to know the impact of the event. This will play a part in determining if we do this again. You can call the museum at 410289-4991 or e-mail me at neffiehoward@comcast.net. Nancy L. Howard President, OC Museum Society Bd., Inc.
