Meehan clears up R-1A role

Fourth another big bang

Says it will have no affect on other zones

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Only time will tell if keeping a hot topic on ice will make it any hotter. Despite a significant, organized turnout from local Realtors at Monday’s meeting, the City Council did not formally discuss the R-1A zoning proposal that they have steadfastly opposed and which was forwarded to the council almost a month ago by the city’s Planning And Zoning Commission. Citing the fact that a full transcript of the commission’s public hearing had not yet been prepared, Mayor Rick Meehan told the assembled public – both supporters and detractors of proposed measure – that the measure is under consideration, but not yet up for council debate. “We’re not prepared to deliberate on that this evening, but we will be,” Meehan said. The legislation, as supported by the planning commission, would create a new zoning classification to be dubbed R-1A that would further limit the existing R-1 single-family residential land See MAYOR page 8

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Although actual work will not start until the fall, the Ocean City Development Corporation is planning to help finance a tear-down and reconstruction of the Royalton Hotel, a landmark Boardwalk property at 11th Street that dates back to the 1920s. This week, the City Council signed on to an application from the OCDC to the State of Maryland for See OCDC page 5

Assateague National Park fees to increase on July 15 Reservations will honor booked price; annual pass rates exempted until 2016

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Assateague Island National Seashore will increase prices effective July 15 for admissions and services — except for annual passes, which will increase next year — after taking into account public comment and a review of the amenities. “We got a feel for how the public felt about the implementation,” Liz Davis, spokeswoman for the park, said. “Word came down at the end of May for how this was going to be structured.” In response to the feedback, the start date of the fee increase for annual passes will wait until the next calendar year, when existing issued passes were due to expire anyway. The rate for an annual pass will increase from $30 to $40. The per-person fee, scheduled to increase from $3 to $10 has instead been rolled back to $5, despite the fees’ relatively small use. “Per-person is a weird one. If a person walks in or bikes in, that’s free,” Davis said, “and if you drive in you’re paying the per-vehicle rate. But if you’re coming with a group on a bus, or maybe taking a taxi, and 17 or older, that’s when you’ll be charged the perperson fee.” Campsites reserved for a date after the July 15 increase, but booked in advance will still cost the original amount, Davis said, but any other fees, including entering the park to make use of that campsite, will reflect the new schedule. Camping fees at Assateague have not been raised since 2012. Frontcountry camping, which usually includes vehicle access and developed campsites will jump from $25 during the season and $20 during the off-season to $30 per night regardless of the time of year. Back-country sites will jump from $6 per night to $10. Horse camping will to go from $30 per night

to $50. Group camping will go from $40 to $50 per night. Motorcycle rates will go from $10 to $15. Kayak/canoe fees have not increased since they were instituted at $10 in 1997. The proposed fee was set to change to $25, but because of public comment, it will instead cost $20. Assateague Island draws more than 2.1 million visitors per year according to the U.S. Department of the Interior fiscal 2015 budget justification report. About 130 of the nation’s 401 national parks are seeking rate hikes this year. Fees are scheduled to increase again in 2017. Entrance fees have supported a wide range of projects that improve the park and visitor experiences, Davis said, including providing life-

Additional revenue from this fee increase will help Assateague Island National Seashore complete projects such as improving and upgrading water lines, improving ADA access to the ocean and bay shorelines and facilities, and constructing more resilient visitor facilities.

Holiday brings in diverse group of visitors Continued from Page 1 Saturdays are already pretty consistent.” “The rain didn’t keep anybody away, that’s for sure,” said Danny Robinson, owner of Hammerheads, Backshore Brewing, and Pickles Pub. “I think Ocean City is getting the whole Fourth of July thing down pat with the traffic and the parking. People are noticing that and it’s making a positive impact.” City government reported no serious logistical hiccups. For the third year in a row, the city instituted a flat-rate parking system at the inlet parking lot, with visitors paying upon entry, thus reducing the delay of having patrons pay on the way out during the post-fireworks exodus. With a $50-per-entry fee, the lot filled at 10:29 a.m., city Public H Works Director Hal Adkins said.

Entry was allowed again at 3 p.m. for 2014, when the Fourth of July fell on $30, to fill any spaces vacated by a Friday, with 41,114 total bus trips those who left early. taken.

against setting off anything except for sparklers, unsanctioned fireworks displays are always an enforcement scramble. The Ocean City Police Department logged 47 responses for fireworks, the majority being reported on the beach, according to department Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard. The holiday is also a key marker of the close of the June season, where the visiting population is dominated by high school and college graduates. “It was a typical Fourth of July crowd, it’s a pretty predictable outcome,” said Lee Gerachis, owner of Malibu’s Surf Shop. “The environment was very pleasant. The money, for the volume of people, has been solid. The spending level is really good, but we can always use more families.” Many business owners, particularly downtown, have noticed that Ocean City is attracting new family visitors, with a sizable chunk of them not just new to Ocean City, but seemingly new to the United States. “The demographic is changing, but it’s not for the worse,” Robinson said. “Multicultural doesn’t even begin to describe it. We’re seeing a lot of hard-working immigrant families who want to enjoy time with their kids. It’s a great break from all the tension and negativity you see on TV and social media.” According to the 2013 US Census update, 22 percent of the population in the Maryland-Virginia-Washington DC metro area was foreign-born, with people of Asian extraction – both East Asians and Indian-Americans – being the fastest-growing group. “I probably heard more different languages being spoken on the Boardwalk this weekend than I have before,” Gerachis said. “The great thing is, everybody of every color had the American flag out and was having a good time,” Robinson said. “I was at Hammerheads during the day, and I saw this guy with a turban high-five a girl in a Confederate flag bikini. That’s what this country is all about.”

Mayor cautions proposal narrow in scope Continued from Page 1 use stipulations. Not only would the R-1A zone be subject to the same onefamily, one-kitchen limit as the current R-1, but it would also prohibit rental of a property with a lease of less than 12 months in duration. The proposal is only enabling legislation to create the zoning language in the city’s code, and would not rezone any specific R-1 area to the new, more restrictive classification. However, the mayor – an influential local Realtor himself – did offer extensive comments indicating that the council was actively considering the measure “It’s the R-1 areas where a lot of our year-round residents live, and they’ve had problems with renters,” Meehan said. “I’m not here tonight to tell you this recommendation is the solution that will be chosen by the mayor and council.” However, Meehan continued, “if you look at our strategic plan, one of the goals is to make Ocean City a more livable community for its residents and to continue to promote quality year-round communities, and I think that’s what’s behind this discussion for those residents and these single-family neighborhoods.” Meehan also expressed the view that previous attempts to clamp down on nuisance properties seem not to have garnered the buy-in that

condos, that’s not what’s being discussed,” Meehan said. “The R-1A zone will have to be applied, if it is applied, to existing R-1 residential districts in order to be in compliance with the town’s land-use plan.” If the council passes an ordinance creating the R-1A designation, a given neighborhood could be rezoned one of two ways. First, Meehan noted, would be for the city to apply the zone as part of its comprehensive zoning revisions, required by the state, which are currently under review. The other would be for residents to request the change. However, in order for them to be granted that change of zoning designation, Maryland law requires property owners to prove to the city that there has been either a significant change in the neighborhood, or that there was a mistake or error in the original zoning. In opposition to the measure, area Realtors have submitted that a slippery slope of restrictions could close off too much of the resort to vacation rentals, which are the city’s economic lifeblood. Further, Realtors say, any potential rezoning under the R-1A classification, if enacted, would present a substantial hardship to property investors who purchase single-family See REALTORS Page 9

Surprise Route 90 work delayed until next week by state Commuters, visitors greeted by big delays on Wednesday

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Wednesday morning commuters and visitors alike were greeted with a nasty traffic snarl on Route 90 that backed the highway up almost to Route 589 eastbound and over the bridge westbound because of repair work. The first observed warning signs on the eastbound lanes were situated 1,500 feet from the flaggers condensing traffic into one lane at the St. Martin’s Neck road traffic light. State Highway Administration officials first said the contractor hired to repair “loop detectors,” devices commonly used to detect the number of stopped cars at a given intersection, had a permit allowing them to continue work until today. Later, David Buck of the SHA confirmed work would not continue this week, but would be delayed until next week after ordered equipment arrived. When work resumes, Buck said, it would be performed at night rather than during the day to help avoid further inconvenience to travelers. Buck said he did not know when the items would be delivered, but as of Thursday morning, the contractor had not yet applied for a new permit, meaning the earliest the repairs could resume is next Thursday. Buck said the SHA would make every effort to increase notification to travelers and commuters when and where the work would be scheduled to begin before the workers dig in.

Realtors still seek organic solution, oppose rezoning Continued from Page 8 homes with the expectation that they could rent them for income, although these purchasers theoretically should have known that non-family groups larger than four were already not permitted. “We’re looking for partnership,” said Coastal Association of Realtors President Joe Wilson. “We need enforcement from all parties – landlords, neighbors, rental agents, and law enforcement. We wouldn’t be opposed to harsher penalties for landlords and tenants.” Roughly five to six percent of Ocean City’s housing stock is in existing R-1 zones. Of the city’s registered rental properties, 268 of them, or roughly two percent of all rentals, are single-family homes.

Beach ball tower, upgrades at wastewater plant coming City to fund projects with bond proceeds, per recent water and sewer rate study

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) In relative terms, $5 million is a pretty good price for a new water tower and what will be, presumably, one of the largest beach balls on the eastern seaboard. The Town of Ocean City will be going ahead with a contract to build a new water tower on First Street and St. Louis Ave., to be painted as a giant beach ball. Despite concerns over additional cost, the value of the beach ball scheme has turned out to be marginal. “There was only about a $10,000 difference in the way they structured their price for the beach ball versus the standard ‘Welcome’ and ‘Thank You for Vis-

iting’ paint scheme,” city Public Works Director Hal Adkins said. The project will be awarded to Chicago Bridge and Iron for a total price of $4,929,330. “We plan to be executing a contract with them in the very near future, and breaking ground the latter part of August or the first two weeks in September,” Adkins said. The new tower will be very similar in size and shape to the water tower located at 64th Street, which greets traffic coming over the Route 90 Bridge. Likewise, the new downtown tower will be located on the current city parking lot across from De Lazy Lizard restaurant, with the city’s logo placed on the side of the ball visible to traffic on the Route 50 Bridge. The new tower will hold one million gallons, more than the combined capacity of the two existing towers it will reSee TOWER Page 12

The former site will likely provide additional space for the upcoming renovation of the Ocean City Fire Department headquarters building, while the latter site will provide additional downtown

parking. Funding for the project will be borrowed during the city’s bond sale at the end of this year. The issuance, anticipated at a combined $18.25 million, will be borrowed against proceeds from the city’s water and wastewater enterprise funds, which are fully self-supported by city water and sewer fees.

Continued from Page 12 “The cost of these projects is all tied into the rate structure over the next several years in order to generate the income to repay the cost of the upgrades,” Adkins said. The city’s five-year water and wastewater rate plan, passed earlier this year, will alter various fees in order to pay for capital improvements, with the average residential customer’s bill expected to go up 8.78 percent over the next five years. Although decidedly less festive than a beach-themed water tower, the bond will also finance expansion of the city’s sewer treatment plant with an additional clarifier, a large tank which separates solids and liquids from wastewater. “That would be one of the final steps to re-rate our wastewater system, if we so choose, from the current 14 million gallons per day (gpd) to 16 million gallons,” Adkins noted. The city is currently running peak water flows of 12.1 million gpd, edging close to the point where the Maryland Department of the Environment will require a capacity upgrade. “Guidance from the MDE is if you reach 80 percent of max capacity, you’re supposed to start planning, and once you hit 90 percent you’re supposed to start building it,” Adkins said.

Bike route project would be long legal slog By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) While the dream is still alive, the city government’s plan to establish preferred bike routes up and down the resort will be a bit more difficult than just telling people which parking lots to cut through. Although many locals may know exactly how to route themselves in order to avoid having to ride on Coastal Highway, having the city instruct people to do so is a different matter. City Solicitor Guy Ayres told the city’s transportation committee this week that plans to do so would likely require the town securing easements from the properties being used in order to mark out bicycle paths. And it won’t just have to be an impromptu agreement with condo boards. “The board doesn’t own the property exclusively. The unit owners own the property in equal stakes,” Ayres explained. “You would need to get every given owner to sign on to the project. There’s no authority of a board to grant an easement over a condo property for purposes of a bike path.” In other words, it would be massively time-consuming for the city to gain the legal ability to map out a bike route.

The initiative has been pushed by Terry McGean said, “there are only Councilman Tony DeLuca, who him- two blocks that you can’t physically self frequently rides without ventur- get through, but there are a lot where ing onto Coastal you’re crossing priHighway, using alvate property.” leys and parking Funding through lots. state green transit ‘There’s no authority “I realize we programs is availof a board to grant an might not be able to city Grants easement over a condo able, say it’s a bike route, Coordinator Wayne property for purposes but everyone knows Pryor said, but is of a bike path.’ these paths are typically geared there,” DeLuca said. more toward emCity Solicitor From 17th Street ployee transit and Guy Ayres south, the resort is less toward easily traversed by tourism.

project is more realistic. “I’d also need a detailed budget,” Pryor said. “Are we talking about signage, pavement markings, exactly what will be involved?” Long-term, the city could always require an easement or right-of-way for a future bike trail whenever property is sold or redeveloped. Between 63rd and 64th Street, for instance, the town is planning to sell off an unused alley to Dead Freddie’s, with the stipulation that a future bike throughway be allowed. “In my experience trying to get utility easements, it’s not simple,” city Public Works Director Hal Adkins said. “It’s feasible, but extremely time-consuming.” Ayres plans to prepare a sample easement agreement to be shopped around to property owners, to gauge interest and feasibility.

City park smoking ban inevitable Designated areas to be set up at Northside, prohibited on other town properties

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) In all probability, smoking in city parks will become almost completely verboten in two weeks’ time. The city council voted this week to pass the first reading of an ordinance

that will ban smoking in all city parks with the exception of Northside Park on 125th Street, where two designated smoking areas will be provided — one for the park’s indoor recreation building and one for the softball field complex. The proposal was previously vetted through the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission. “This will prohibit smoking in parks, except for Northside Park where there will be designated smoking areas like

we have on the beach,” said Commission Chair Dennis Dare. Currently, the city’s code prohibits smoking only at the Ocean Bowl Skate Park on Third Street and the 61st Street Tennis Center. The clause also lists specific playgrounds at other parks, but has not been updated in some time. As of May 1, smoking or vaping has become illegal on all public property within 15 feet of the Boardwalk, or anywhere on the beach outside of a 15-foot radius from marked receptacles.

City reorganizes transit dept. in abrupt change Superintendent’s position, employee himself removed

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Despite being in the middle of a bustling season, Ocean City government has announced a considerable shake-up in the resort’s transportation management. City Manager David Recor announced this week that he had restructured the transportation arm of the city’s department of public works, eliminating the position of transportation superintendent. The role will now be “replaced with a like-grade position of a new deputy director of public works, who will also oversee the airport and the fleet service center,” Recor said during Tuesday’s Transportation Commission meeting. The elimination of the job also came with the elimination of the man who did it, George Thornes, who up until a month ago had been the city’s head of transit for more than a decade. Officials were careful to not say that Thornes had been fired, but rather that his position had been phased out. “This will streamline management in public works, improve the flow of information, and establish accountability for that information,” Recor said. The city’s grants coordinator, Wayne Pryor, will fill the new deputy director position until a permanent appointment is made. Pryor has previously filled key vacancies in city management, having also served as interim director of the convention center in 2012. The public works department already has two other deputy director positions, one overseeing water and wastewater operations, and another for garbage collection and maintenance.

County tables solar session against staff advice Commissioners scrub info meeting until just before hearing developer proposal

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Worcester County could soon be entering the solar energy sphere, but it looks like it might do it all at once, since the county commissioners on Tuesday decided to delay an information session by a Columbia, Md. consulting firm outlining the process until just before a sales pitch at their July 21 session.

The presentation, delivered via PowerPoint, outlines the process, regulations and scope of solar projects based on a 2,000-kilowatt system. It provides a projected timeline, steps and milestones plus general guidance on implementation of a solar electric project. According to County Engineer Bill Bradshawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation of CQI Associates, the firm has advised Ocean City, Salisbury, other Maryland counties, school boards and municipalities on renewable energy solutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cost to the county is $5,500 and it is staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unanimous recommendation to retain CQI Associates,â&#x20AC;? Bradshaw wrote in his report to the commissioners.

Movie chain seeks to sell beer, wine at uptown spot mirroring other locations

13411 MADISON AVE., UNIT 4 â&#x20AC;˘ OCEAN CITY

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Fox Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention to sell beer and wine at its uptown location has hit another snag and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a hearing before the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners until August, according to Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Joe Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resolved the issue of what type of liquor license to pursue,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. The theater chain originally applied for a Class B, 7-day, beer and wine license and had been scheduled to appear at the June 17 meeting of the Board of License Commissioners, the governing board for liquor licenses in Worcester County. A Class B license could allow sales of beer and wine both as an on-site purchase and for takeaway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a Class B, food ordered from a menu is generally required,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. Maryland license codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rule 11 requires Class B license holders to â&#x20AC;&#x153;have available from the regular menu, hot meals between the hours of 12 p.m.

Great location! Outstanding restaurants and the beach are just minutes away. Deep water boat slip with 12,000lb lift allows access to back bays, and ocean for excellent fishing and boating adventures. Great panoramic views from your waterfront back decks. This non-rental unit had a complete kitchen and first floor remodel in March 2013.

and 9 p.m. provided the premises are open to the public.â&#x20AC;? Moore said his client might also pursue a Class D license, but he admitted that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a slam-dunk either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a Class D, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have minors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically for a nightclub,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. Indeed, Class D licenses require many things not commonly associated with movie theaters, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;adequate facilities for the preparation and serving of mixed alcoholic drinks,â&#x20AC;? the regulations state. Moore said he needed to have these issues resolved before making his presentation to the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My presentation must fit the circumstances. I have to sit down with [Board Attorney] Tom Coates and work it out,â&#x20AC;? he said. While the license, if granted, would be the first in Ocean City, it would not be breaking new ground nationally or even within Maryland. A number of movie theaters on the western shore offer the opportunity to make such purchases, as do some theaters in Virginia and Delaware. Another of the Fox movie theater chainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locations, Fox Berkshire in Wyomissing, Pa. began selling alcohol earlier this year, according to published reports.

Riddle Farm expands water, sewer offerings One-mile stretch south of Route 50 east joins service area without any objections

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Without a single voice of dissent during concurrent public hearings on a water and sewer expansion of the Riddle Farm service area, the County Commissioners approved the request, bringing 267 EDUs into the area. A smaller section north of Route 50, west of Herring Creek Lane was also included. According to Environmental Services Director Bob Mitchell, the cost to the county for the water service expansion is estimated to be about $620,000, paid for by a loan from the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Fund at two percent interest. Mitchell said the loan would be repaid by customers purchasing the

267 EDUs made available by the ex- nancially responsible for the water pansion at a rate of $2,400 per EDU portion weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re joining forces to install for construction costs and $6,323 in the distribution lines for a cost savequity contribution for a total cost of ings to the county,â&#x20AC;? Mark Cropper, $8,723 per EDU. attorney for WGC EDU said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Piggybacking saves considerable Once the loan has been repaid, Mitchell reported, money,â&#x20AC;?

Briefly discussed were the wishes of two property owners who adjoin the included property but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t themselves part of the new zone, yet they would like to be. Cropper said both the OC Worship Center and Atlantic Aquatech have expressed interest in becoming part of the new Riddle Farm service area. Both Mitchell and Bloxom agreed that from the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, it was in their best interest to approve what was before the commissioners before changes could be incorporated. Mitchell suggested remanding the issue back to the Water and Sewer committee, to which the commissioners agreed.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER BRIEFS

Craft beer month The county commissioners unanimously declared October Shore Craft Beer month, becoming the first county to do so on the lower shore. Tourism Director Lisa Challenger proposed the designation as a partnership with ShoreCraftBeer.com, and will align events to promote shore breweries. Winefest in Ocean City has added craft beer to its early October event, which will act as the kickoff date. The Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association, according to Challenger, will promote beer and food pairings throughout the month, and Berlin’s Ok-

New telephone system Because county government’s current telephone system was purchased in 1999, and up to $200,000 for a new one had been approved as part of the 2016 budget cycle, the county approved documentation providing the guidelines for the bidding process for the new system. Emergency Services Director Fred Webster said the existing system is so old parts are no longer available, causing the county to resort to eBay to find replacements.

The lifecycle of the new system is approximately eight years, according to IT manager Brian Jones.

Landfill cross-country Stephen Decatur High School has used the Worcester County landfill as its home cross-country course since 2007 and will continue to use it next year. The Public Works Department and the county commissioners found no reason to discontinue the practice of allowing the school to use the site, and so decided to approve the use next year.

Transmittal schedule OK’d Now that the dust has settled from the county/board of education budget debate for this year, the county had to approve a plan for making budgeted funds available to the school system. The commissioners approved this

plan on Tuesday, using previous years’ schedules as a guide. Funds are transferred twice monthly, with odd months’ totals nearing $8 million and even months’ totals around $5 million. The grand total of unrestricted requisitions is $76,466,472 augmented by $200,000 in technology and $100,000 in capital outlay. Payments begin in July.

Ag-Tourism signs a go Though it had been approved back in 2013, the state has just provided requested information allowing signs directing traffic toward qualified farms to help establish Worcester County as a hub of Ag-Tourism. In order to be designated an “agritainment” facility in Worcester County and be eligible for signs on the closest SHA-maintained road to the farm, the faContinued on Page 26

Jonathon Riley, 28, of Wilmington, Del. was arrested for assaulting several people on the Boardwalk. An Ocean City police officer reportedly heard a group of people screaming, and upon arrival discovered an apparent victim on the ground with a female trying to pull another person off of him, according to the report. Police reported the victim had fresh blood on his face, hands and shorts. After speaking with a witness on the scene, police discovered the woman was waiting in line for food when Riley started leaning his body on her friend and allegedly grabbed her breast, the report stated. The girls told Riley to go away, but he would not leave them alone when the male victim approached the scene to see what was wrong. Riley allegedly punched the new arrival in the face, which knocked him to the ground. Riley was charged with two counts of second degree assault, fourth degree sexual contact and disorderly conduct.

Ocean City police officers arrested Raymond Dashiell, 21, of Parkville, Md., for driving under the influence of alcohol. They were called to the scene after Dashiell allegedly struck two parked cars in the area of 21st Street and Baltimore Ave. and rolled his vehicle onto its roof landing on the median strip. Police reported Dashiell had slurred speech, failed a few field sobriety tests and he was arrested. He was charged with driving while

under the influence, reckless driving, failure to control speed to avoid a collision and operator not restrained by seatbelt.

Stolen guns Aaron Waples, 18, of Berlin was arrested on June 10 for allegedly stealing two pistols and additional items from a house in Ocean Pines. According to the report, the homeowners went on a Caribbean vacation, leaving their teenage daughter at home and she apparently hosted a party. Waples is accused of stealing two pistols from a closet and pawning other various household items, according to police. An investigation resulted in the recovery of one weapon, but police were unable to find the second, allegedly due to the suspect’s lack of cooperation. The investigation is ongoing. Waples was charged with six counts of theft, theft scheme, straw purchase and two counts of firearm possession of a minor. A straw purchase is the act of buying a gun for someone who would not be able to legally purchase one otherwise.

Stolen car Rick Foster, 53, of New Castle, Del. was arrested on June 29 after he borrowed a friend’s car and didn’t return it as promised. An Ocean City police officer was patrolling the Boardwalk when he overheard an accusation of theft. When the officer began to investigate, it determined one of the subjects, Foster, had outstanding warrants for the unauthorized use of

New fire marshal fee First approved in concept back in October, a new program – and $35 annual fee – to ensure that businesses have acceptable fire protection systems has gone into effect. This fee will not apply in Ocean City, Fire Marshal Jeff McMahon said,

because the resort has its own monitoring system. Within the county, McMahon said between 70-80 percent of facilities required to have fire suppression systems are violation. How the new program works is that Illinois-based company Brycer LLC provides an Internet-based software program that collects, records and stores data from the fire protection companies that install and service these systems for businesses. Board President Jim Bunting was the lone “nay” vote, and said he voted against the measure because he voted against the original bill.

POLICE/COURTS a vehicle and failing to answer a summons, so he was arrested. Police reported Foster told the victim his car broke down in Northern Delaware last September and it was towed, but no tow companies in the area had record of it. Foster allegedly begged the victim not to report it stolen and agreed to meet on several occasions, but would fail to show up. When police tried speaking with Foster about the allegations, he would only scream obscenities. The victim’s vehicle is a gray 1998 Honda Accord with Ohio tags and is worth an estimated $2,600 with its contents. Foster was charged with unlawful taking of a motor vehicle and theft.

Stolen credit card Karl Devil, 31, of Whitehall, Pa. was arrested on the Fourth of July for using a stolen credit card twice at the same seafood store. Police communications alerted officers the suspect Devil was attempting to use a stolen credit card uptown. Earlier in the day, he allegedly used the stolen card at the same seafood

store and the cardholder called in to tell owners it was stolen. The owner called police when the suspect returned later and attempted to use the same card a second time. Devil allegedly took off running upon their arrival. Officers chased Devil a few blocks into a complex where he refused to come out for about 15 minutes, according to the report. He was arrested and charged with theft, resisting arrest and multiple stolen credit card charges.

Drunk driving Christian Terrell, 23, of Dover, Del. was arrested on the Fourth of July for driving under the influence of alcohol. Ocean City police officers responded to a collision in the midtown area where Terrell is accused of rearending another vehicle.

After failing five field sobriety tests, he was taken to the Public Safety Building where he blew a .21, according to the report. Terrell’s supervisor at the Dover Air Force Base was contacted. He was charged with negligent driving, failure to control speed to avoid a collision, following a vehicle too closely, driving while under the influence and impaired by alcohol.

Trespassing An Ocean City police officer arrested Jeremy Fields, 22, of Bel Air, Md. on July 5 after he entered a closed restaurant on Coastal Highway. The officer spotted Fields enter the property from a back stairwell, followed him inside where he was arrested after wandering around. He was charged with fourth degree burglary of a store.

Multiple offenses Ocean City police officers arrested Cesar Hurtado, 25, of Springfield, Va. on Fourth of July for resisting arrest, second degree assault, trespassing and littering. An officer on patrol allegedly saw two individuals smoking marijuana on the fourth level of a parking garage and Hurtado flicked the joint over the edge when he approached, according to the report. Police reported Hurtado claimed it was a cigarette, attempted to leave and pushed an officer. At this point, Hurtado was told he was under arrest, an officer threw him to the ground and attempted to handcuff him as he resisted, the report stated. Police determined Hurtado and the woman with him were not registered guests of the hotel.

Board of Ed. veteran chats about media, retirement, relationships and her book

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Barbara Witherow began her career at Worcester County Public Schools as an educational assistant at Showell Elementary School 17 years ago, and retired as the coordinator of public relations and special projects on June 26. In an interview with Ocean City Today, she reflects on what she has done, what she has accomplished and her current goals. OCT: Everyone in media dealing with the Worcester County Public Schools knows who you are, but some may only know you as the voice of the automated delay/cancellation line. For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know you well, please describe yourself. BW: I have served Worcester County Public Schools for 17 years, of which the last 11 have been as the coordinator of public relations and special programs. During my tenure, I have been committed to improving and expanding the communication options available to our stakeholders. The school system has an updated website, an automated notification system, a mobile app and a variety of social media accounts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of which have been made possible through collaborative efforts with others. As the coordinator of public relations, I have been responsible for serving as the liaison with media outlets and as a school system spokesperson; facilitating the schoolcalendar development process; managing parent and communications surveys; writing and designing annual publications; producing videos;

‘I was always a good person. Working in education has helped make me a better person.’ Barbara Witherow Continued from Page 28 2004. OCT: What was the most rewarding aspect of doing the job you did? BW: The most rewarding aspect of my job are the relationships that I have cultivated over the years and how those relationships have helped change my perspective. When I worked in the private sector, I wanted to be the best that I could be so that I could advance within the company. When I joined the school system, I was surrounded by people who wanted to be the best that they could be, not for their own advancement, but for the advancement of others — for the advancement of their students. I have worked alongside teachers, staff, leadership and the board of education who are honorably obsessed with the success of our next generation. This noble purpose has influenced me to measure the value of something by the impact that it has on others, by the impact that it will have on the future. I was always a good person. Working in education has helped make me a better person. OCT: Describe, from your perspective, your working relationship with the press. BW: I have the utmost respect for

journalism and reporters — we’re both in the business of issuing accurate information to the public in a timely manner. Our mission is similar; I’m just allowed to use more adjectives! I have been very fortunate to work with fantastic reporters on the education beat and I will miss them. WCPS implements a public relations protocol that is standard in education, meaning more systems use a similar protocol than not. The protocol funnels information inquiries through a designated public information officer. The PIO will either furnish the reporter with the information requested or will connect the reporter to a source at a convenient time for both parties. This protocol is extremely efficient and enables teachers, staff, and leadership to focus on instruction and operations. The job of the PIO, therefore, is to provide requested information to the reporter with the least disruptions to the educational day, while meeting the reporter’s deadline. OCT: What advice do you have for your successor, Carrie Sterrs? BW: Carrie will bring her own passion, skills and expertise to the position and I am excited for her and for the school system. I don’t believe she needs any advice from me.

‘Retirement will afford me the time to explore other dreams, which is what retirement is intended to do!’ Barbara Witherow OCT: What’s next for you? BW: One of my favorite sayings is: You can be everything — just not at the same time. One of my dreams has always been to be an author. Over the last two years, on weekends, I have written a thriller romance. The novel is titled RED and is the first in a trilogy. I plan on seeking an agent this summer. It’s a long shot, but you never know until you try and it’s the right time to pursue this dream. I’ve written short stories as far back as my teenage years. Being an author was my retirement plan — call it “Plan A.” Because I started writing my novel as a hobby while still employed for the school system, I selected a pseudonym: Julia Ash. I have a website and social media accounts. Even though I’m retiring, I think I’ll keep the name for my writing. My website is: www.authorjuliaash.com. On my homepage provides a snapshot description of my first novel RED, as well as two short stories and a poem. “Plan B,” by the way, would be to continue with public relations work. I might also substitute teach, as it will be hard to step away from education and WCPS! OCT: What are two things you’ll miss about the board of education and two things you won’t? BW: I will miss the wonderful people with whom I have worked. Never have I worked with such dedicated, passionate, and hardworking people. Many friendships have been formed and I have no doubt that they will be sustained. If there was one thing that I probably won’t miss, it would be the workload — and I’m a very hardworking individual. I have often likened my position to my favorite pie — which is a warm chocolate pecan pie, by the way: The pie is so big, that it’s impossible to ever finish. Did I mention that there’s a heap of vanilla ice cream on top? Retirement will afford me the time to explore other dreams, which is what retirement is intended to do! OCT: What do you think about the direction of education? BW: I’m very excited about the direction of education. Education has undergone many reforms, but I don’t think any have been as exciting as our current reform, which seeks to prepare college- and career-ready students. Since the majority of life takes place after high school, preparing students for college and career makes absolute sense. Starting conversations with students early and planning for college or the workforce, using a digital resource like Naviance, are exciting. The Maryland College and Career Ready Standards are also exciting. Why shouldn’t we periodically raise the bar on academic expectations, especially when we know that our chil-

dren need to be globally competitive? Why shouldn’t rigorous standards be expected no matter where a child lives? All kids deserve a world-class education. I’m glad that members from the business world participated in the creation of the standards. After all, who will determine if students are career ready? I’m also glad that we are able to receive secure data on the college enrollments and earned degrees of our students. How else will we know if we’re doing our job in preparing students for college? New rigorous standards and secure longitudinal data are exciting. OCT: What is your hope, as it relates to the school system? BW: I hope that our county continues to value education as it has. I believe that education is the key to a prosperous and safe community. Students who have received a great education have choices and opportunities to reach their dreams and to contribute to society. Students who have received a great education are far less likely to become disenfranchised, unemployed, or to commit crimes. Great schools attract new residents and are a great investment. Great schools start with great teachers and staff. Again, I hope our county continues to value education as it has.

Mayor Gee Williams returns to Community Foundation

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Berlin Mayor Gee Williams, and recently retired State Highway Administration community liaison, has taken a new job: marketing director for the nonprofit Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. Though based in Salisbury, the foundation helps fund other nonprofits in the three lower Eastern Shore counties via lump sum grants, and Gee Williams Williams, who is returning for a second stint as the foundation’s marketing director, sees more coming Worcester’s way. “When I was here before, we crossed $30 million in assets, and a few months ago we crossed $100 million in assets, which means we’re able to give out more than $1 million per year. Worcester is going to feel a greater presence,” Williams said. Williams said more than 90 percent of foundation’s gifts are reinvested and granted to local charities. “It’s a solid, proven method with a great track record. Other than our endowment, we are offering more scholarships, but that is due to need. This is a very giving community — our foundation is the second largest in the state,” Williams said. “Baltimore is the largest, and the third-place foundation is distant in size. The tradition of giving is stronger than ever.” Williams said he was looking forward to finding new ways to approach potential donors. “I’ve got to learn how to use shorter sentences. I haven’t gotten used to tweeting yet,” he said. “It’s neat to see what has changed but what has remained the same, and it’s all connected to media.” Time is energy, he said, and people are devoting a lot of energy to a lot of different projects. “I’m totally committed to new media and I’m not turning back. Turnaround time now is much faster than it was even 10 years ago — you don’t send people a book when a short statement will do,” he explained. Williams, as a former newspaperman, has a fondness for the written word, but doesn’t expect his transition into the world of social and new media to be a rocky one. “We have a new introduction to video in multiple ways in a variety of communications. We’re finding and learning you don’t have to go out and do an interview. You have to think of all the ways to convey your message,” he said. Though the new position is technically part-time, so is his other job as mayor of Berlin. “It’s very much like being mayor: mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. I’ve lived that way in news-

papers since 1971 and I really don’t know any other way to do it. Being semi-retired but still in public service seems like the right fit,” he said. Compartmentalization, Williams said, is how he survives. As for his retirement from the SHA, Williams said. “It was a growing position.

WORLD WAR II: BOMBING JAPAN

By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (July 10, 2015) This week, 70 years ago, thousands of American planes rained death and destruction on the almost defenseless Japanese Home Islands. On July 13, 1945, more than 1,000 U.S. planes bombed Hokkiado. With an area of 32,221 square miles, Hokkiado is the second largest, Oscar C. Badger, II and northernmost of the Home Islands, and today has a population of 5,500,000. It is bordered by the Seas of Japan and Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean and is separated from its nearest neighboring island, Honshū, by the Tsugaru Strait. Hokkiado was hit by another thousand planes on July 15. These attacks sank eight of the 12 railway car ferries connecting Hokkiado and Honshū and damaged the other four. These losses, together with losses to other ships, reduced the amount of coal shipped to the factories on Honshū by 80 percent. In between the two aerial attacks, American warships, under the command of RADM John F. Shafroth, shelled selected targets in northern Honshū, including the iron and steel works at Kamaishi. This was the first naval bombardment of the Japanese Home Islands and resulted in the loss of four weeks of pig iron and two-and-a-half months of coke production. The ships had fired 802 16-inch, 728 8-inch and 825 5-inch shells. On July 15, another naval unit, under the command of RADM Oscar C. Badger, attacked facilities of the Japan Steel Company and Wanishi

Iron Works in Muroran on Hokkiado. Also, on July 13 and 15, B-29 Superfortress bombers attacked an oil refinery at Kudamatsu on the western side of southern Honshū, while other bombers, based on Okinawa, attacked Kyūshū Island and southern Honshū. More than 1,500 American planes attacked the Japanese home Badger’s unit, which included the battleships Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and HMS King George V, destroyed 65 percent of Hitachi, 80 miles northeast of Tokyo in the central part of Honshū, on the Pacific side, the next day. Nojima Saki, also on the Pacific side of Honshū Island, was shelled, July 18, by a unit of light cruisers and destroyers commanded by RADM J. Carey Jones. On July 19, 600 B-29 Superfortresses dropped 4,000 tons of bombs on the cities of Choshi, Hitachi, Fukui and Okazaki. The B-29 Superfortress was the latest of the war’s super-weapons. The plane derived its name from its predecessor, the B-17 “Flying Fortress,” which, in turn, had received its name from the fact that, with the number of machine guns that it carried, it reminded someone of a fortress. The B-29 was designed, and primarily manufactured, by Boeing. In addition to being significantly larger than the B-17, the B-29 sported a pressurized cabin. This allowed it to fly at heights that made it nearly invulnerable to enemy fighter planes and anti-aircraft fire. Already, 100,000 Japanese had perished in the firebombing of Tokyo on the night of March 9, 1945, and one million had been left homeless, as 16 square miles of the city were razed to the ground. The heat was so intense that the water in the city’s canals boiled. United States Army Air Force

day, Shiono-Misaki Airfield and Kushimoto Seaplane Base in the southern part of Honshū, were shelled by Adm. Jones’ unit. In 1940, Osaka had a population of 3,252,340, was the second largest city in Japan, and had the country’s third largest port. It was an important industrial center. This was not the first time it had been bombed – and it wouldn’t be the last. Nagoya had a prewar population of 1.5 million and was also an important industrial center, producing almost half of the Empire’s warplanes. Nagoya had the distinction of being the recipient of a record 3,162 tons of incendiary bombs dropped on it by the XXI Bomber Command on May 14, 1945. By the end of June, 52 percent of the city had been destroyed. On July 28, more than 2,000 Allied planes bombed Kure, Kobe and Continued on Page 36 Admiral Shafroth reviewing the crew of USS Indiana (BB 58).

commander Henry “Hap” Arnold had ordered the firebombing. When XXI Bomber Command’s commander, Maj. Gen. Haywood S. Hansell Jr. exhibited reluctance to commit a war crime, he was relieved and replaced by Curtis LeMay, who had no such reluctance, on Jan. 20, 1945. By mid-June, 1945, Japan’s six largest cities – Tokyo, Nagoya, Kobe, Osaka, Yokohama, Kawasaki – had been destroyed, so the Allies switched their bombing attack to smaller cities. More than 1,600 Allied planes launched from 15 American and four British aircraft carriers attacked the Japanese home islands on July 24. In addition, 600 B-29 Superfortress bombers attacked the Osaka-Nagoya area, making the total number of planes attacking the Home Islands on that day in excess of 2200. The same

Continued from Page 35 other targets in the Inland Sea. The Inland Sea connects the Home Islands of Honshū, Shikoku and Kyūshū. At the time, Kobe had a population of one million, was Japan’s largest port and contained the bulk of its shipbuilding business. This was the seventh Allied air attack on Kobe in five months. Kure was a much smaller city, but with a naval base located there, it was attacked at least four times. Hamamatsu in the southern part of Honshū was shelled on July 29 by British and American ships. A day later the aluminum plant and railway yard at Shimizu on the Pacific side of southern Honshū were attacked by destroyers commanded by Capt. J. W. Ludewig. The shells fired by the battleship, HMS King George V, at Hamamatsu, were the last fired by a British battleship in anger. In addition to their bombing responsibilities, the Allied planes were also mining the harbors and maritime approaches to the Home Islands. When combined with the Allied submarine and surface warfare, the Allies were strangling the Empire. Japan did not produce enough to feed itself and needed to import food to survive. But, by the end of June, 79 percent of its merchant fleet had been sunk, with most of the rest immobilized by lack of fuel.

By this time, the Japanese were starving. The average Japanese was receiving about 1,680 calories per day, or 78 percent of what is considered the minimum necessary to survive. It could only get worse. On the evening of Aug. 1, 820 U.S. B-29s dropped 6,632 tons of bombs on five Japanese cities. It was the largest B-29 raid of the war. Adm. Shafroth’s ships, joined by two British light cruisers, returned to Kamaishi for another round on Aug. 8. The only Allied casualties from the naval operations against the Japanese Home Islands occurred during the shelling of Kamaishi, when 34 Allied POWs, who had been assigned to work at the Nippon Steel Company, were killed. With the daily death and destruction delivered by the Allied air forces and navies, together with the millions of pamphlets warning of more to come, more and more Japanese understood that their country could not win the war and their government could not protect them.

Worcester Humane Society names new board members Newly-elected officials will serve one-year terms while incumbents will serve three (July 10, 2015) The new board of directors of the Worcester County Humane Society officially began its term last week and promised to continue making improvements in the operation. New members of the board were elected during the nonprofit shelter’s annual membership meeting in May. Incumbent board members will serve a three-year term and new board members will serve an initial term of one year, effective July 1. “I am extremely pleased with the progress we are making,” reelected board President Kelly Austin said. “This new board, including several re-elected members, brings incredible talent and experience, which will help us serve our community and care for the many animals in need. We have made many improvements in the past year and expect to continuously improve moving forward.” The board is drawn from local business owners, philanthropists, former corporate executives and volunteers. Austin said she believes that, despite hiccups and challenges along the way, each year the humane society will be a better organization than it was the previous year. “We depend heavily on the generosity of the community, local businesses and volunteers. It’s our obligation to constantly challenge ourselves and spend every dollar as wisely as possible,” she said. “This means reducing expenses wherever possible without sacrificing the quality of care and demanding the best from our staff.” Currently, the humane society is working to expand and rejuvenate its volunteer program with the goal of providing quality care and minimizing the need for paid staff. Austin invited anyone interested in volunteering to contact the humane society to learn more. Most of the humane society’s funding comes through private donations, fundraising events and the support of local businesses. Upcoming events include the annual dinner and raffle drawing at Captain’s Galley on Nov. 12 and the humane society booth at Sunfest. Austin said the organization is financially more stable than it has been for some time. “Not only have we worked hard to manage our expenses, we have re3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

Anglers chasing yellowfin, bluefin and big eye tuna

Junior Beach Patrol Academy participants learn about semaphore flag communication during a session last summer in Ocean City.

OCBP offering Junior Beach Patrol Academy

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) On Tuesday, the Ocean City Beach Patrol began another summer of Junior Beach Patrol Academy with youth gaining handson training and experience in the surf during the four-day educational program. “The skills we teach are truly life saving,” said Butch Arbin, Ocean City Beach Patrol captain. “Kids gain an awareness of the water and become an educated beachgoer so they can pass the knowledge of rip currents or sand collapse dangers to other children when they go back to school.” The academy has prepared a number of lifeguards, known as Surf Rescue Technicians, who currently sit in the stands of Ocean City’s beach. “In a meeting Monday morning, Butch asked our employees to raise their hands if they went through the Junior Beach Patrol Academy and there must have been 25 or more employees who did and now work for us,” said Ocean City Beach Patrol Lt. Ward Kovacs. This summer, close to 300 youth

ages 10-17 will participate in the academy during a six-week period. The program is designed for various skill levels, that way returning campers can continue their surf rescue education every summer. First-year Junior Beach Patrol Academy participants learn about

rescue buoys, safety information and a little bit about semaphore flag communication whereas second-year returnees study landline rescues and third-years gain experience with paddleboards, Arbin said. The fourth year is the crew chief See WEEKLY Page 40

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 10, 2015) Today through Sunday, anglers will head offshore looking to land large bluefin, yellowfin and big eye tuna as hundreds of thousands of dollars are up for grabs during the 28th annual Ocean City Tuna Tournament. Tuna fishing was a little slow last week, tournament director Jennifer Blunt said Monday, but bluefin have moved into the area and a number were caught over the weekend. Yellowfin have been hooked as well, but Blunt said it seemed that most anglers were going for bluefin instead because they are closer to shore. Big eye have been biting later in the evening, she added, generally around 6 p.m. and after. Blunt is hoping the fish will want to feed earlier in the day during the tournament since lines must be out of the water by 3 p.m. 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. The cost to enter the tournament was $900 ($800 for early registration). Blunt said Monday that preregistration was up from last year. There are 10 added entry-level calcuttas, or wagering pools, this year. Cost to enter those range from $200 to $5,000. Anglers had the option to enter into one or all of the 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 the 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 totaled $189,000. The Espadon crew brought John Hughes’ big eye to the Ocean City Fishing Center scale and it weighed 249 pounds to take first place in the tournament. The big eye was worth $273,715, the majority of which came from the Level F Pro Tuna Jackpot. See WATCH Page 41

Junior Beach Patrol Academy students go for a run on the beach Tuesday morning.

Weekly, one-day academies offered Continued from Page 39 level where students are responsible for taking charge of a team and organizing the competitions every Friday, Kovacs said. “Friday is our big day with competitions and a graduation ceremony,” he added. “It’s the funniest to see brothers and sisters competing against each other through an obstacle course with relays that include running, swimming and paddleboarding.” After completing these levels, participants can apply for a paid position as an assistant instructor and some eventually go on to join the Ocean City Beach Patrol. The Junior Beach Patrol program started 18 years ago and grows each

summer, Kovacs said. Several afternoon camps were added to accommodate more participants and there will be half a dozen one-day sessions taking place on Thursday afternoons this year. “One-day sessions are a good introduction for kids who do not want to make the four-day commitment or families on vacation who do not have a lot of time,” Arbin said. “They get to sample the entire academy in a half day and can enroll in a full session if they enjoy it.” The Junior Beach Patrol Academy is a four-day program and runs from 8-11:30 a.m. every Tuesday through Friday, now through Aug. 14. The six Thursday sessions take place from 15 p.m. each week. Children ages 10-

17 must know how to swim to participate. “We have professional educators whose challenge is to make them have so much fun that they want to come back next year and look forward to someday being a guard,” Kovacs said. To sign up for the weekly camp or a Thursday session, visit http://oceancitymd.gov/oc/departments/recreation-parks/camps/jrbeach-patrol or call Ocean City Recreation and Parks at 410-2500125.

is today. One of the first procedures he changed was the training and recruiting process, requiring each person interested in becoming a member of the OCBP to fill out a written application and complete a physical assessment. If they successfully completed the test, Capt. Craig continued their education, by assigning an experienced guard for further instruction in spotting rip currents, knowledge of waves and what to look for so that preventive measures could be taken before difficulties occurred. Capt. Craig also introduced semaphore to the patrol, and it is still used for communication between guards to supplement radio communication. To register, visit www.ococean.com/ocbp. The cost is $25 and includes certificates for the top three finishers in each category and a T-shirt for participants.

Marlin bite strong during tournament Continued from Page 41 good event for the club. Any time you have 50-plus boats and give away more than $50,000 it’s a good tournament.” Conditions offshore were good last Friday and Sunday, but a little sloppy on Saturday, Pettolina said. During the tournament, several anglers released their first marlin. Altogether, 40 white marlin and three blues were released. Typically for the Canyon Kick Off, Pettolina said, between 12 and 15 are caught and released. “Marlin fishing was one of the best we’ve had in the tournament,” he said. “Usually one or two will get you prize money. This year three whites and a blue won it.” Billfish release: The Poore Sport crew released three white marlin and one blue to win the division and $13,005. The Streaker, Tighten Up and Canyon Hunter teams all released four white marlin. Because of participation in added entry calcuttas, the Tighten Up crew was awarded $2,133 and $1,422 went to the Canyon Hunter group. Dolphin: First, Tighten Up, 24.8 pounds; second, Jezebel, 21 pounds, $8,100; third, Dawg Haus, 19.6 pounds, $2,025; Canyon Hunter, 19.2 pounds, $1,350; Grande Pez, 18.8 pounds, $9,900.

New location in West Ocean City for Your Doc’s In

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Your Doc’s In provides a number of services to patients from its fourth location on the Eastern Shore. The newest clinic opened May 30 on Route 50 in West Ocean City, offering illness and injury care, occupational medicine, laboratory services, sports medicine, DOT exams and EKG. “The providers here are patient-driven and focused,” Clinical Manager Brendan Campbell said. “We make sure to give the best care provided to people in the community with a lot less wait time.” Employees have a wide range of expertise including in the ICU, emergency rooms, trauma centers and in pediatrics. Infections, fractures, stitches, STD and pregnancy testing, back pain, ear aches, urinary tract infections, allergies, burns, vomiting, sprains, X-rays, drug testing, physicals, sports injuries, colds, pneumonia and abscesses are some of the services and illnesses patients will be treated for at Your Doc’s In. “This time of year we are seeing a lot of beach injuries and as the season progresses we will be removing a de-

cent amount of fish hooks,” Campbell said. “Also, with the seasonal changes in allergies we are seeing a lot of patients who have sore throats.” Your Doc’s In had a location in north Ocean City for a few years before it closed in 2010 due to slow traffic after opening up a clinic in Salisbury. “All the growth in West Ocean City was not here 10 years ago and the owners felt it was a good time to open up,” Campbell said. Co-owner Dr. Gerri Goertzen worked in the pediatric unit at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury. Goertzen and owner Dr. Walt Gianelle are current physicians at Nanticoke Memorial Hospi-

tal in Seaford, Del. “We are known for seeing kids and [are] well versed in pediatrics,” Campbell said. Patients can pre-register online to get a head start on paperwork and wait time and pay their bill online. Almost all insurances are honored including Medicare and Medicaid. Your Doc’s In is located on Ocean Gateway in West Ocean City. It is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. It is open every holiday except for Christmas, although hours will most likely be shorter. Visit www.yourdocsin.com/west-ocean-city for more information.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (July 10, 2015) Amidst the press given to the Supreme Court’s decision guaranteeing a right to same-sex marriage, relatively little attention was garnered for another ruling determining whether the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) prohibits housing decisions that have a disparate impact. The Court, in a 5-4 ruling, held that disparate-impact claims are clearly identifiable under the FHA. The plaintiff in the case, Inclusive Communities Project, Inc. (ICP), alleged that the defendants, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (department), violated the FHA by allocating a disproportionate number of federal low-income housing tax credits in predominately black inner-city areas, rather than in predominately white suburban neighborhoods. ICP alleged that the Department’s selection criteria for allocating the tax credits perpetuated segregated housing patterns, resulting in a disparate impact on minorities in violation of the FHA. Disparate-impact claims challenge practices of housing providers that have a disproportionately adverse effect on minorities. So what is disparate impact and what does this mean for real estate? Disparate impact, under the Fair Housing Act, is that a policy may be considered discriminatory if it has a disproportionate “adverse impact” against any group based on race, national origin, color, religion, sex, familial status or disability when there is no legitimate, non-discriminatory business need for the policy. In reaching its holding that the FHA recognize disparate-impact claims/liability, the court limited the scope of their decision in order to ensure that housing authorities and housing developers could still maintain a policy that serves a legitimate business interest. The court recognized that disparate-impact claims play an important role in uncovering discriminatory intent and unconscious biases that may serve to thwart the FHA’s goals, and the court found disparate-impact liability under the FHA to be consistent with the FHA’s purpose of ending segregated housing patterns and moving our nation towards a more integrated society. The National Association of Realtors reported that the effect of the Supreme See REALTORS Page 46

PAGE 46

Realtors must be wary of practices Continued from Page 45 Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision will be largely felt by housing developers, multi-unit property managers, lenders and government agencies. They further expressed the opinion that while the result of this decision will unlikely affect real estate professionals to any great extent, there is potential for a real estate professional to be subject to disparate-impact liability where a real estate professional adopts a policy that causes a disparate impact on a protected class. NARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s example was: if a real estate professional were to adopt a policy that the real estate professional would only show properties to individuals with advanced degrees, and a plaintiff were able to establish that this policy caused a disparate impact on minorities, a real estate professional could potentially be held liable for violating the federal Fair Housing Act. In addition, for real estate professionals that also operate as property managers or housing developers, consideration should be given to the effect of any adopted policy related to these activities to ensure that the policy does not have any unintended disparate impact on a protected class under the Fair Housing Act.

Grotto Pizza receives recognition (July 10, 2015) Grotto Pizza has been inducted into the Pizza Hall of Fame, which celebrates America’s oldest and most beloved pizza restaurants. Created by PMQ Pizza Magazine, one of the industry’s top trade publications, the Pizza Hall of Fame, located at www.PizzaHallofFame.com, pays tribute to the rich cultural history of American pizza and honors the perennially popular U.S. pizzerias that been in business for 50 years or longer. Grotto Pizza is the vision and lifelong project of owner Dominick Pulieri. When asked what the Pizza Hall of Fame honor means to him he said, “It is an amazing recognition for us and very humbling. This honor is not just mine, but shared with many Grotto Pizza team members that have worked for Grotto Pizza over the past 55 years.” Conceptually, The Pizza Hall of Fame has existed for nearly 10 years, since PMQ publisher Steve Green inducted Lombardi’s Pizza in New York on Nov. 1, 2005. The Pizza Hall of Fame website was launched in Oc-

tober 2014 as part of National Pizza Month. All inductees have been featured in the Pizza Hall of Fame section (formerly called “Time Capsule”) of PMQ’s print magazine. Grotto Pizza was featured in the January/February issue of 2014. “Pizza is such an integral part of the American experience,” Green said. “We wanted to commemorate its role in our culture. Every pizzeria in the Pizza Hall of Fame — and each one that will be inducted in the future — is a local landmark. These pizzerias are more than restaurants — they are institutions in their communities.” “It’s all about the customer,” Pulieri said. “Without them we wouldn’t be here. That’s the best advice I could give to anyone starting in the hospitality business.” Pulieri opened the first Grotto Pizza Inc. in 1960 in Rehoboth Beach, Del. Since then, Grotto Pizza has grown to 21 locations throughout Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania. There are restaurants in West Ocean City and on the Boardwalk at 18th Street and on Coastal Highway

cate meighan inside going out m I the only one that might need a full week to recover from last weekend’s festivities? I didn’t think so. If you were in town over the Fourth of July then you already know the craziness that I’m talking about. Traffic was snarled and there was so much going on that you ended up having to pick and choose exactly what kind of fun you wanted to have. It’s funny how kids that are always claiming to be bored grow up and turn into adults who never have enough hours in the day to do everything that they’d like to, isn’t it? This week I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Mark Wagner, general manager of KY West Restaurant and Bar, on 54th Street and Coastal Highway. If you’ve wandered into the place then you already know that the exterior can be pretty deceiving because once inside you quickly realize that you’ve landed somewhere pretty unique. You can usually find Wagner behind the bar, holding down the proverbial fort and he is the kind of guy that you’ll remember because he makes your dining (and drinking) experience fun. Wagner knows that paying attention to details, listening to his customers and a joke here and there makes all of the difference. He also freely admits to being in the OCMD area for 20 years and never setting foot inside where KY West now stands until a year or so ago. Once in the door he realized what a gem it actually is and took on the task of opening a modern and cool restaurant with food as fabulous as the surroundings. He brought with him a team of great chefs that he has worked with for about a decade in other places and the groundwork was easily laid for KY West to thrive. I can tell you that once inside you’ll actually forget your in a resort area because it feels much more like a Manhattan hot spot or that the dessert is so good that you might want to jump to it before your main course (might), but really, you owe it to yourself to discover these things on your own. See CATE Page 50

Everyone’s Greek this weekend at annual OC festival

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) The 26th annual Greek Festival returns to the convention center on 40th Street starting today and runs through Monday, July 13, with traditional food and live music to benefit St. George Greek Orthodox Church on 88th Street. “It’s a great event for anyone to see and taste the Greek culture,” said Festival Promotion Coordinator Alexandra Hall. “Come for the food, stay for the fun. It’s a family event, date night or for singles and really for anyone.” The main attraction is the food with a smorgasbord of tasty dishes including half chickens, gyros, shish kabobs, grape leaves, Greek meatballs, spanakopita and oven roasted potatoes. “A staple in Greek cuisine and a best seller is our lamb shank platter, which is tomato based,” Hall said. “One of the culinary greats is pastitsio, which has two layers of macaroni with spiced ground beef and cheese topped with a béchamel sauce.” Look forward to the traditional Greek Moussaka that has eggplant, spiced ground beef and topped with a béchamel sauce, Hall said.

Jewelry, art and clothing will be for sale during the Greek Festival at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street, today through Monday.

“People that aren’t Greek and picky eaters will enjoy something at the festival,” Hall said. Have a Greek coffee with a number of popular Greek pastries including the famous baklava prepared by members of the St. George Greek Orthodox Church Ladies Philoptochos. “You will see many people buying desserts to take home and freeze,” Hall said. “There are not many Greek bakeries locally and people tend to buy in bulk while it’s available to them.” All menu items will be offered starting at noon with dining in or carryout as options. In addition to the food, festivalgoers can shop for jewelry, art, clothing,

music and other treasures at the vendor booths. “It is unique to have ethnic anything in a resort town,” Hall said. “People who have been to Greece can relive the experience by hearing the music and being near free-spirited people having a ball.” After 5 p.m. each night, Golden Flame will bring Greek sounds to the convention center for a night of dancing with appearances from Greek folk dancers. Greek music will be playing throughout the festival daily. “The cool thing is age does not matter, from little kids to 80-yearolds will get up and dance,” Hall said. “They grab someone’s hand and go.” See FOOD Page 54

If you hate the idea of leaving your spot on the beach just for a drink then you’re in luck because Coconuts offers beach waitress service, weather permitting, from now through Labor Day. Tony Luke’s, located on 33rd Street just opened its doors and already the response has been great. If you’re dying for a real Philly cheesesteak then this is as good as it gets. Tony Luke’s is determined to make the south Philly favorite also a new staple for Ocean City locals and visitors alike. The menu also features burgers, roast pork, soups, salads and wings. Tony Luke’s also has a pretty good breakfast menu as well as one that is aimed at children.

Buddy’s opened in April and has already found itself a pretty solid customer base. Joe is thrilled to see that Buddy’s has already reached its envisioned target audience and visitors to OCMD seem to love the place. When a family is only in town for a few nights and they spend two of them at the same place then you know that you’re doing something right and that’s exactly what Joe has seen a lot of this past week.

Once you’ve actually crossed the bridge then you’re a bit closer to Berlin, officially named America’s Coolest Small Town in 2014 and our cool factor has only intensified in the last year. Aside from being dubbed the antique capitol of the Eastern Shore, Berlin is also alive with specialty shops, great restaurants and a general sense that this is a pretty great place to hang out for awhile. On What Grounds? is a new coffee house located at 103 N. Main Street that is sure to have your favorite specialty drink already on its menu. Regular coffee, expresso, coffee smoothies and breakfast sandwiches are all served up fresh daily and on Fridays On What Grounds? features live entertainment. It’s the kind of place that you’ll want to hang out in for awhile while taking a break from the rest of the world. Blacksmith Restaurant on 104 Pitts Street in Berlin might be one of the newer eateries in town, but it has quickly emerged as a favorite dining spot for the locals. It offers up a classy and unique dining experience with a dose of small town charm. Blacksmith’s menu is carefully chosen and the Best Ever House Burgers really are amazing, especially when paired with a house martini or one of the other specialty drinks.

Leaky Pete’s Oyster Bar & Chop House is a brand new spot that you’ll want to check out for sure. Located at 119 N. Main Street in Berlin, Leaky Pete’s makes dining fun.

There’s always something happening at The Globe, located at 12 Broad Street, between the art gallery, lounge and great menu you’ll be glad that you walked through the door. Since it’s summer you’ll want to try the shrimp salad or my favorite go-to tends to be the grilled cheese made with pesto sauce.

National Aquarium to host fundraiser at Seacrets day before bottlenose search

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) The National Aquarium in Baltimore is hosting an animal rescue fundraiser at Seacrets on 49th Street next Thursday followed by its annual Maryland Dolphin Count on Friday, July 17. The family-friendly portion of the fundraiser will take place from 3:305 p.m. and will include color sheets, magnet making, artifacts, temporary tattoos and various games including marine animal twister. “The last decade Seacrets has invited us in and helped us reach out to families,” said Jennifer Dittmar, manager of animal rescue at the aquarium. From 5-9 p.m., guests 21 and older can enjoy adult games and enter a raffle to win a behind-the-scenes experience at the National Aquarium. “It’s a great opportunity to connect with families and other demographics to get the message out there about what we do and why it’s important,” Dittmar said. All proceeds from the $5 cover charge will be donated to the animal rescue program. Last year, the fundraiser at Seacrets raised $2,930 for the nonprofit organization. On Friday morning, July 17, at least 10 aquarium volunteers and an estimated 25-35 public volunteers will be on hand for the annual Maryland Dolphin Count. From 8-11 a.m., participants will count dolphins in three locations: at Assateague State Park and on the beach at 40th and 130th streets in Ocean City. Sightings were down last year

likely due to poor visibility caused by fog. Fifty-three bottlenose dolphins were spotted off Maryland’s Atlantic shore by about 50 volunteers. In 2013, 113 dolphins were tallied, which is a typical number according to aquarium officials. There were only 31 dolphins spotted in 2012 due to factors ranging from the weather to bigger swells and food availability. “The annual count is a great snapshot into the health of our dolphin population off the Maryland coast and helps us to discover trends,” Dittmar said. “It’s also a great opportunity to get families on the beach to answer questions for them, enjoy hands-on work and it’s an outreach to folks who want to help these animals.” In addition, inspiring marine biologists, people concerned about the environment or families wanting to learn about dolphins and utilize sources of information are encouraged to come out next Friday. The annual counts have been part of the aquarium’s programs for more than a decade and help marine mammal specialists look at dolphin populations, reproduction rates and ocean health over time. It not only gives them an idea of the health of the local dolphin population, but of the coastal ecosystem as a whole. Since 1991, the National Aquarium Animal Rescue Program has been responding to stranded marine mammals and sea turtles along Delaware, Maryland and Virginia’s shores. The public is invited to participate in the annual dolphin count and is asked to register in advance at aqua.formstack.com/forms/animal_rescue_annual_dolphin_count _2015.

This photograph depicts the original Atlantic Hotel, on Wicomico Street and Baltimore Ave., which opened in 1875 during Fourth of July weekend and was a two-block-long phenomenon.

The Atlantic Hotel started the ghostly history in Ocean City when it opened last weekend 140 years ago. Charles Purnell bought the property in 1923. A devastating fire destroyed the hotel a few years later and a smaller version was built, the same structure seen today.

Chesapeake Ghost Walk in resort Learn about ghostly history of Ocean City during tour of rumored haunted properties

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) The Chesapeake Ghost Walk in Ocean City takes participants through the resort town’s ghostly history from the inlet to Fourth Street while visiting rumored haunted properties and hearing tales from a tour guide about people who cannot seem to leave their happy place–even after they died. The tour is about two hours long with stops and stories about a dozen haunted places in the area. “I love Ocean City and it’s my favorite ghost walk,” said Mindie Burgoyne, Chesapeake Ghost Walk researcher and creator. “It’s a great town with a wonderful history. The ghost tour is a good way

to start vacation to get oriented with the town and find out where these historic places are.” There are a number of reasons why ghosts come back–to relive a fun time, because of unfinished business, to leave a message, they are attached to an object, or they died quickly and cannot move on. “Ghosts do not realize time has passed and they leave an energy behind,” said Kelly Craven, a tour guide for Chesapeake Ghost Walk. “Women are more susceptible to ghosts because they sense energy better than men, but that doesn’t mean men have not had experiences with ghosts.” In addition, a ghost sighting is not the only sign there is a presence in the room; a tap on the shoulder, a random smell or a change in room temperature are other indications. “Ocean City is different because it was never a hometown,” Craven said. “The en-

ergy is different because there isn’t any pain and suffering. People came to have fun so most of the ghosts are not frightening except in two places I will talk about.” “The town history is all about being happy, romance and vacations,” Burgoyne said. These tales date back to 1870, when Ocean City was a sandy beach barrier and fish camps started popping up along the coast to house fisherman. By 1875, the massive two-street block long Atlantic Hotel opened up on July 4 weekend for wealthy visitors from Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. When the Great Depression hit, many locals stepped up and started purchasing property, and whose decedents remain in the area to this day, including the Trimpers, Croppers, Purnells and Dolles. The Ocean City Life-Saving Station opened in 1891 to help distressed vessels See GHOST Page 58

Continued from Page 57 during the coldest months of the year. Surfmen were employed in Ocean City from November to March and were tasked with saving people from the freezing water. “There are not many records of who died and tourists have said they feel a cold air in the area,” Craven said. A couple ghosts have been seen at the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, at the southern end of the Boardwalk, near the life car on display. A women reportedly saw a white faced deceased sailor in an old uniform sitting inside the life car and a young child spirit has made a few appearances throughout the years. Craven talked about the Rackliffe House on Assateague Island, which has a negative ghostly history and is one of the most haunted places in Worcester County. The folklore goes John Rackliffe was murdered by his slaves, his wife died from poisoning shortly after and another person died after falling down the stairs in the house. Decades later, a distraught Rackliffe begged for her only son to be spared from the War of 1812, he wasn’t and never returned. She committed suicide by hanging herself inside the plantation. Another tenant who moved in later would hear the piano playing at night, a random smell of perfume, a baby crying, the candles flaring up or going out, gunshots, phantom horses galloping outside and guests heard loud banging noises coming from her bedroom at night, yet she was fine. Next on the walk was the rich history at Trimper’s and its famous carousel, which has not moved from its original spot since it was purchased in 1912, “even when flood waters were up to the knees of horses.” In the 1980s, Granville Trimper met his first wife, Joanne, she moved to Ocean City with him and the carousel was her favorite. Unfortunately, Joanne died young, which is when a sweet, unusual odor started appearing and no one could figure out what it was until many years later around Christmastime.

They discovered the smell coming from the carousel was Joanne’s favorite perfume and to this day visitors can sometimes catch a random whiff of the scent when riding on her dedicated horse, “Forever Joanne.” “The Joanne Trimper story is so beautiful,” Burgoyne said. “While researching Ocean City about a dozen people mentioned her name, everyone loved her. I didn’t know a horse was named after her until I talked with the Trimper family and coincidences like that make doing this very special.” The next stop was Henry’s Hotel, which was built to house African-Americans who worked at the Atlantic Hotel. “In those times, they could work at the hotel, but could not sleep there due to segregation laws,” Craven said. Charles Henry bought the hotel in 1926 and made sure to engage the community by adding a restaurant, laundry mat and jazz club across the street. “Everyone was coming to Henry’s Colored Hotel to party,” Craven said. Some black entertainers who stayed at the hotel include Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, County Basie and a young James Brown. Pearl Bonner purchased the property in 1964, put her daughters to work for college tuition money and ran the hotel until she died in 2003. During quiet moments on Baltimore Avenue, people have heard music coming from inside the vacant hotel and a person who vanishes when visitors try to get a closer look has been spotted on the front porch. A Baltimore Sun article said Bonner made sure her guests were back by 2 a.m. and would often wait on the porch to see that they returned on time. Craven said Henry’s Hotel is the best place for participants to capture abnormalities in pictures during the tour. “On one of the tours someone kept complaining their camera was dying and he captured the best image I have seen to date of a figure standing on the porch,” she added. The Atlantic Hotel started the ghostly history in Ocean City when it opened last weekend 140 years ago. “This is where it all began,” Craven

Several places in downtown OC rumored to be haunted said. Charles Purnell bought the Wicomico Street property in 1923, a devastating fire destroyed the hotel a few years later and a smaller version was put up, the same structure seen today. “The energy is fantastic and happy. Dr. Purnell has not left, guests and staff have seen him a number of times,” Craven said. Guests should not be alarmed if they see an older man with glasses [Purnell] or an unidentified child in a blue dress since they are common ghosts at the hotel. “If this was your happy place, would you want to return?” Craven asked. Employees receive phantom phone calls from rooms that are unoccupied and many times a faucet is leaking or the air conditioning is not working. “One night, a man came downstairs, gave his key back and left in a hurry,” Craven said. “Housekeeping went upstairs to clean it and came back to say there were additional individuals in the room.” It turns out, the key ended up being 20 years old, “he must have had unfinished business and wanted to return the key he held onto for years.” In addition, no one was registered to the room in question. The Tarry-A-While House or the current home of the Ocean City Development Corporation was once home to troubled 21-year-old Calvin Cropper. Late one summer night he locked himself in his room, lit a cigarette and shot himself in the head after childhood friend, Savannah Dennis, refused him. To this day, people can smell cigarette smoke on the second floor and occasionally the rocking chairs outside will rock violently even though no one is there. The Plim Plaza hotel or Plimhimmon Hotel, as it was known in 1890 when Rosalie Shreve built and named the structure, is also a tour stop. Shreve has never left according to employees who have someone there to help when it gets busy. They have found silverware already wrapped, dirty tables all fixed back up and a single lollipop appeared when an employee was looking for one.

In addition, Shreve has been spotted walking back and forth in the middle of winter on the sectioned off porch of the Plim Plaza. The last stop on the tour was the Shoreham Hotel on Fourth Street, which opened in the 1920s and is the most haunted place in Ocean City. About 10 years after opening, a writer commited suicide in one of the rooms and in the 1980s a drunk seasonal worker, Betsy, fell to her death from the fourth floor trying to scale the ledge to a friend’s room. Betsy’s room has mysterious flickering, even after the television and room lights have been turned off. Soap and Suds, now Shenanigan’s, also has a tragic story tied to it. A belligerent man who kept bothering and taunting a green beret was eventually punched one time, which was hard enough to break his neck and he died. “Ever since, the basement of Shoreham has been haunted by a negative energy and the staff will not go down there,” Craven said. Ocean City is the most popular out of Burgoyne’s 10 tours, which she credits to tourists coming down in the summertime. Research for Ocean City’s Ghost Walk was tedious with not much history written down about hauntings. “Glenn Irwin [executive director of the Ocean City Development Corporation] was the one who opened doors and led me to people in town,” Burgoyne said. “I had to take off from my full-time job for two weeks to interview people and visit sites. It’s my favorite tour and I worked the hardest on it.” In addition to Ocean City, ghost lovers can check out walks in Berlin, Snow Hill, Pocomoke City, Easton, Cambridge, Denton, Crisfield, Princess Anne and St. Michaels. Burgoyne has two more in the works in Oxford and Chincoteague. More than a decade ago, Burgoyne moved into her current home in Marion Station with her husband and experienced ghosts and a presence for the first time. “We had never thought about ghosts See TOURS Page 62

Continued from Page 59 before moving in and I became curious about the stories,” she said. All of a sudden unexplained noises were heard, footsteps, coughing, objects starting moving, plates flipped off the walls, their dogs barked at nothing and it became scary when a globe fell off a chandelier and crashed into a bouquet of Valentine’s Day roses. “Our grandchildren would not stay at our house,” Burgoyne said. Her haunted house led to research by interviewing locals, visiting libraries for regional books or newspaper articles and she utilized the folklore collection at the Nabb Research Center at Salisbury University. Burgoyne continued to collect tales, researched town history and developed a popular book full of stories about 26 different haunted sites in the nine counties throughout Maryland. “Once I talk with someone they usually lead me to somewhere else and only places that have several unrelated sources at different times are used in my tours and books,” Burgoyne said. “It’s amazing how these stories unfold, wow it’s really something.” One of her novels, “Haunted Eastern Shore: Ghostly Tales from East of the Chesapeake” built her a following in the community and she was constantly being asked if she did ghost tours. By 2010, bus tours started taking

place on the Eastern Shore and the following January it was decided to try out a walk. “Our Cambridge walking tour sold out three times in a row with 60 people a night taking everything in with snow on the ground,” Burgoyne said. By 2013, 10 walks were researched, developed and conducted for visitors to experience. Burgoyne led 40 ghost walks that year. “Every single one sold out until Halloween,” Burgoyne said. The following year, Burgoyne hired six tour guides and an administrator to help with the popular tours. “In 2014, we put on 160 ghost tours and served more than 10,000 customers,” Burgoyne said. “It’s amazing how much it grew.” Chesapeake Ghost Tours take place year-around and the offseason will feature a mix of bus and walking tours. “It’s great family entertainment from the best storytellers around,” Burgoyne said. “When you’re done, you will know Ocean City from being up close, walking through and hearing stories. It imprints in your memory and Ocean City will become an old friend.” Tours cost $15 for adults and $9 for children 8-12 years old.

About 6,300 grads participate in PIS events

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 10, 2015) The 2015 Play It Safe program saw approximately 6,300 teens take part in the campaign, which provides high school graduates with organized, alcoholand drug-free activities in Ocean City. The 26th annual Play It Safe program officially began May 26, with a breakfast at Blue Ox restaurant on 127th Street. The first activities of the 2015 season got under way a few days later. Play It Safe events ran through June 16. This year, 6,268 graduates participated in Play It Safe events, a decrease from 2014 when 8,318 teens took part in the free activities. The drop in attendance was due to the cancellation of four events because of rain. Several other events were cut short because of the weather. Approximately 2,500 participated during the first week, May 30 to June 5. During the second week, June 612, about 3,500 teens took part in the activities. The final week, June 13-16, approximately 200 graduates participated. Students traveled from 11 states and the District of Columbia to Ocean City, and represented 87 high schools. Graduates also came from 23 counties in Maryland as well as Baltimore City, and represented 195 high

schools in the state. Approximately 50 events were planned this summer, including kayaking, basketball, tennis, pizzaeating contests, dance parties, dodgeball, stand-up paddleboarding, karaoke, moonlight bowling, laser tag, beach volleyball, indoor and outdoor miniature golf and T-shirt tiedying. Participants also visited Splash Mountain Water Park at Jolly Roger on 30th Street and had the opportunity to ride the Tidal Wave roller coaster at Trimper’s Rides and Amusements. Graduates received T-shirts, food, drinks, giveaways and prizes at competitive events. Prizes were donated by local businesses. The most well-attended event was volleyball on June 2. A total of 429 graduates competed on the beach at Dorchester Street. Miniature golf on June 8 at Old Pro Golf on 68th Street saw the next highest total with 413 teens participating. Donna Greenwood, chairwoman of the Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee and a Play It Safe volunteer, said the water events–kayaking and paddleboarding–were more popular than in past years. The first week of activities, 198 went paddleboarding and 275 kayaked. The second week, 268 paddled in the bay and 325 enjoyed

kayaking. “Everything went very smoothly,” Greenwood said. “The kids were well behaved, polite and there were no incidents. They were very appreciative and they thanked us for doing the events. They seemed grateful.” Earlier this year, Ocean City officials decided to stop providing free weeklong bus wristbands for high school graduates participating in the Play It Safe program, as they had in the past, fearing that many were going to the events just for the wristbands, and not actually participating. This year, graduates could ride the resort bus for a $5 reduced rate fare. They had to purchase tickets at one of five locations: the Boardwalk Train Station, South First Street; Boardwalk Train Station, 27th Street; City Hall, Third Street and Baltimore Ave.; Public Safety Building, 65th Street, bayside, and Northside Park Ocean City Recreation & Parks facility, 125th Street, bayside. Teens then had to take their purchased tickets to a Play It Safe event to receive a wristband to ride the Ocean City bus. “We were pleasantly surprised how it went over on our end,” Greenwood said. “They thought $5 was a good deal.” A total of 3,981 tickets were purchased. Of those, 3,306 were redeemed for wristbands.

The Play It Safe program is an effort to prevent the abuse of alcohol and other drugs by high school-aged visitors to the resort. It’s designed to encourage recent high school graduates to make informed, healthy choices while having responsible fun without the use of drugs and alcohol. Since its inception, more than 172,000 teenagers have signed up for Play It Safe’s free activities. The Worcester County Health Department and Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee coordinate the program with support from the Town of Ocean City, Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Maryland Network of Prevention Coordinators and local businesses and organizations. Greenwood said the program would not be possible without the support of these groups as well as Play It Safe volunteers. “I can’t say enough how appreciative we are of the generosity of businesses, the community and local organizations. We’re grateful for the support they’ve given us all these years,” she said. “We couldn’t do it without them.” For more information about Play It Safe, visit www.playitsafeoceancity.com, or call the Worcester County Health Department at 410632-1100.

ON GUARD

Ability to scan beach areas SRT’s most important skill Lifeguards visually survey, identify possible problems to minimize any threats

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (July 10, 2015) This is the time of the year we have been waiting for. Summer is in full swing and the beach is packed with vacationers. Surf rescue technicians (SRTs) have been kept extremely busy these past couple of weeks. The SRTs look out from their stands at hundreds of people swimming in the water and enjoying themselves on the beach. People often ask, “How can the lifeguards possibly watch everyone?” Although SRTs cannot watch every single person for every single second, they are trained to watch over the beach patrons on their beach in an effective and efficient way that allows them to see any potential problems before they manifest themselves. Of all the equipment and skills a SRT brings to the beach each day for work, their ability to scan is the most important. A SRT’s scan refers to their ability to visually survey and identify possible problems and to use this information to minimize any threat to beach patrons. This same scanning skill was used along all 10 miles of Ocean City beach to search the tens of thousands of people on the beach to locate and return 48 lost individuals on this past July 4. SRTs are trained in the Surf Rescue Academy to seek out non-swimmers before they even enter the water. SRTs are trained to watch the body language and swimming ability of everyone in their water and on their beach. For example, beach patrons who are facing shore or heading toward shore are to be watched more closely. An example of some questions an SRT might ask themselves about a swimmer facing shore are, “Are they having any trouble coming back to the beach? Are they becoming tired and making no progress?” SRTs use a combination of the infor-

mation they have about the water they guard and the information they gather from the behavior of the people they watch to keep everyone safe. SRTs are responsible for the entire area around their guard stand including all water and beach area from the stand to their north to the stand to their south including the beach and dune area behind them. This method of constantly looking for any signs of infractions, emergencies or situations needing their attention is an active process and assures that every person is being watched by at least two SRTs at all times. This scan is the SRT’s primary tool that enables them to do their job effectively and is one of the most critical skills a guard can develop to help keep everyone safe. It is a proactive tool rather than a reactive response. The SRT’s scan is composed of a primary and secondary scan. The primary scan includes the entire area from the guard tower to the north (left) of all the water and beach east of the guard stands to the guard tower to the south (right). The secondary scan includes the entire beach and all beach patrons west of the guard stands. Ninety percent of the guard’s time is spent in primary scan with a less frequent scan to the west. SRTs are trained to recognize and respond to potential problems before they develop and proactively minimize the danger to their patrons. By maintaining an alert scan, the SRT will be able to warn people away from potential danger (such as a rip current) before the person becomes a victim needing to be rescued and can follow-up by educating the same patrons about the safest places to swim on their beach or potential beach hazards. In the past few weeks dangerous marine life has been in the news daily at other beaches, while here in Ocean City our SRT’s are constantly on the watch for any and all possible dangers. That is another reason you should only swim on a guarded beach. In fact, the scan becomes such a part of the individual lifeguard that many past guards comment that they are unable to relax on any beach See WAVE Page 66

Fun Day

Continued from Page 64 without constantly scanning. Unlike a police officer, firefighter or paramedic, who are dispatched to assist people in need of their services after the 911 center receives a call, the SRT is responsible to determine the need for assistance and then respond appropriately. Although technology has impacted many areas of public safety, surf lifesaving has seen the least amount of change. When an emergency occurs it is the training and vigilant scan of the SRT that identifies the problem, analyzes the situation and may result in the SRT’s decision to use their physical ability to make the proper intervention. Because of these requirements, each employee must pass a rigorous pre-employment physical skills test to assure they can meet the running and swimming criteria. Successful candidates attend a Surf Rescue Academy where they learn the various surveillance skills necessary to maintain an active and efficient visual scan. The Lifeguard’s vision is so unique that the Discovery Network has done a short story on it which can be accessed on You Tube at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =aarebbRFZo0 or search “lifeguard vision.” The SRT is very busy assuring everyone’s safety in the water as well as on the beach while at the same time being responsible for enforcing all the laws, ordinances and rules. The job is made easier when they have your patience, understanding and assistance. So please help the SRT out and remember, if you hear a whistle take the time to stop what you are doing and look toward the SRT who is attempting to get someone’s attention. It may be you. The ocean and beach are wonderful places to enjoy a summer day, just remember that the SRT is trying to assure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience and may need to remind you about some of the rules. If you need help on the beach or in the water, you should wave your arms over your head indicating to the SRT that you need their assistance. To help keep you safe, always check in with the SRT on the stand and remember, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”

Tea party with Anna and Elsa of Disney’s ‘Frozen,’ Saturday By Josh Davis Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) Following the massive success of December’s “dive-in” movie screening of Disney’s “Frozen,” Ocean Pines Aquatics is offering a tea party with two of the film’s stars at the Sports Core Pool on Saturday, July 11 from 3:30-5 p.m. Philadelphia-based performers Marissa Regan and Kristina ReganO’Connor, who appeared in December, will reprise their respective roles as sisters Anna and Elsa during the event. Aquatics Director Colby Phillips said more than 200 people attended the previous Frozen bash in Ocean Pines. As of last Thursday, 75 of the 120 available slots were filled for the July 11 event, which will feature movie-themed cupcakes, a meet-andgreet with the characters and an apple juice “tea.” “We’re going to close the pool at 1 p.m. to prep, and 3:30 is the start time,” Phillips said. “The kids will come in and they’ll get their spot at their table and we have crafts that they’re going to do first, and then Anna and Elsa will come at 4 o’clock.” The meet-and-greet, which includes a photo op, will run until 5 p.m., and the pool will reopen to the public at 6 p.m. “It’s should be a great time for the kids,” Phillips said. “It’s only $5 if you’re a swim member and the pool will be open, so everyone can stay and swim.” The cost is $6 for Ocean Pines residents and $7 for nonresidents. For aquatics, Phillips said, the event will double as an awareness drive for the facility. “I think the biggest thing is it brings people in to see what we have to offer all over,” she said. “People will come back and they’ll book birthday parties, or they’ll come back for swim lessons and they’ll see all the things we’re doing, which is great. I have a great team, which really helps. We’ve come a long way. We’re offering a lot more an we’re consistently very busy.”

Phillips said many people in the area don’t realize all five of Ocean Pines’ pools, as well as all of its events, are open to the public. She also singled out the Sports Core Pool as one of the best indoor facilities in the county. “I think all our pools are great, but Sports Core is a very busy pool,” she said. “There’s a lot of people that don’t want to be out in the sun, so having an indoor pool is wonderful. We do really well on rainy days, but on sunny days we’ll still have a lot of people here because they don’t want their little kids in the sun.” Upcoming events at aquatics include the three-day Junior Lifeguard program, with sessions beginning July 7, July 21, Aug. 4 and Aug. 18 at the Sports Core Pool on 11143 Cathell Road. The cost is $75 per person, which includes a T-shirt, whistle and first-aid kit. A pizza dinner will be served the Wednesday of each session.

Lemon, pepper zabaglione over asparagus Frothy sauce perfect pairing with smokiness of grilled vegetables, Walker says

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (July 10, 2015) Confessions come in many degrees and I have been keeping a secret that is dear to my heart. I know I should not reveal my most inner feelings, but passion is beseeching my soul. Yes, it is true, chefs should not show partiality and treat every ingredient with equal reverence. But the path of life takes many turns and if one is lucky enough to experience true culinary love, embrace the heavenly moment and enjoy the blessings

to be. Your humble beginnings are modest; I have no shame and kiss the ground of incredible legend. Some credit San Bajon, a 16th-century monk from Turin with your introduction. Others believe the Venetians or the Medici family in Florence came up with your origins. All I know is zabaglione is your name and I whisper it often in the most private way. It has been said our ancestors received you as a tonic stirred into morning coffee. Your sweet nectar was also served to sick people and pregnant women. Today, your luscious foam is served over fresh fruit,

savory dishes, desserts, or simply by itself. In other words, the possibilities are endless. Time is a test for eternalness and it is clear I will never stray. Take heed for those who keep a watchful eye; do not mistake simple for boring. Egg yolks, sugar and a sweet wine are the basic components of thee; do not be at ease for the devil is in the details. Older recipes use the broken egg shell as a measuring spoon. If you have any admirers who adore your primeval past, remember archaic instructions were of different amounts. The reason is simple chickens in Ancient Rome were smaller as well as the eggs produced from these sacred animals. Self-control is no longer in my grasp, the thought of making you mine overcomes me. Remember perfect zabaglione is an emulsion and the proportions of fat to liquid is critical. A copper bowl is the preferred choice; copper conducts the heat from the simmering water bath evenly. The art of consummation is exposed in specifics. Bring the water to a simmer. In the meantime, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a copper or glass bowl. Whisk in wine

or spirits of choice. Place the copper bowl over the simmering water. Monitor the water occasionally to make sure it is not boiling. Keep whisking until it thickens. When the whisk leaves tracks in the zabaglione, it is almost done. Take the bowl off the heat and place it on a protected surface. Keep whisking until the temperature drops slightly. Summer is the season you are most coveted, so I would like to share a recipe that expounds how versatile you can be. Although you are generally deemed a dessert, your beauty and delectable essence can easily be transformed into a savory feast. Lemon, pepper zabaglione over grilled asparagus is as decadent as it gets. The frothy lemon sauce with black pepper is a perfect pairing with the smokiness of the grilled vegetables. This whimsical dish is an Italian delight and a must for anyone who relishes the art of cookery. Enjoy! * Note - Most Americans use Marsala for zabaglione, but is a bit strong for this particular dish. Vin Santo, an Italian dessert wine, is a delicious pairing, but very difficult to find. Prosecco’s light, fruity flavor enhances the lemon zabaglione without overpowering it.

Bathtub Races in Berlin next Fri.

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (July 10, 2015) One of Berlin’s quirkiest – and most popular – events returns next Friday from 6-8 p.m. Presented by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce, the 26th annual Bathtub Races will pit area businesses and organizations against each other in a competition that, as the name suggests, involves racing bathtub-like vehicles that must be able to hold water a minimum of two gallons of water. Creativity is encouraged, but all tubs are required to have brakes and a steering mechanism and wheels are limited to no larger than 26 inches. One driver is allowed per craft, and at least one rider, wearing a helmet, must be inside the vehicle for the en-

tirety of the race. Participants must be 16 years of age or older. Several heats will determine the champion, who will take home the illustrious “Winner Takes All” trophy, year-long bragging rights, and a free banner ad on the chamber’s website. New chamber Administrative Assistant Morgan Coulson said she’s looking forward to her first Bathtub Race. “We have a whole new administrative team this year, and we’re hoping the event will be more exciting than ever,” she said. “Not only are the bathtub races fun, but they’re a great opportunity for chamber members to meet, network and have a chance to promote their local businesses. The chamber is thrilled to support the members of the community, and

we’re expecting a great turnout. “The bathtub races are just another example of the kind of quirky, unique event that makes Berlin America’s coolest small town, and we’re happy to be back hosting it,” Coulson added. This year the Bayside Gazette will enter its own top-secret vessel. “We’re in it to win it,” Publisher Elaine Brady said. “We’re putting the finishing touches on our racer, and we’re confident our team will make headlines this year.” The entry fee is $75 per tub for chamber members, or $100 for nonmembers. Sponsorships are also available. For more information, call 410641-4775 or visit www.berlinchamber.org/events/bathtub-races.

Work by Fitzgerald, Wolff featured at art ctr.

(July 10, 2015) New work from two artists on the faculty of Salisbury University â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Evan Fitzgerald and Bill Wolff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the annual Beverly Bassford Juried Show are the featured gallery shows at the Ocean City Center for the Arts in July. The public is invited to the free opening reception at the arts center on Friday, July 10, from 5-7 p.m. to meet the artists and enjoy hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres. Fitzgerald received his BFA in painting and drawing from Towson University and his MFA from James Madison University. Currently, Fitzgerald teaches art and art history

courses at Salisbury University. He draws and paints primarily on wood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My work is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at its core â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a visual language reliant on allegory,â&#x20AC;? Fitzgerald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My most recent work depicts local animals that have adorned themselves with numerous accessories. The work is taking a closer look at the things we obtain in order to appear impressive to others or feel better about ourselves.â&#x20AC;? Wolff holds an MFA from Louisiana State University and an MA from the Tokyo University of the Arts. He is currently assistant professor and head of the sculpture area at Salisbury University. His animal-in-

spired sculpture is made primarily from discarded tree parts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When my children are my age, many animals and environments that I grew up thinking were among the most unique and beautiful on the planet will very likely no longer exist,â&#x20AC;? Wolff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These gestural, fragmented and biomorphic abstractions poignantly reflect both beauty and this sense of possible loss. The sculpture is assembled from sections of wood with metal leaf on the surface, a variation of the traditional yosegi zukuri process I studied in Japan.â&#x20AC;? The Beverly Bassford Juried Show is an annual memorial event for Bev-

erly Bassford, a former Art League of Ocean City board member who was passionate about the need for a new art facility, a passion realized in the Ocean City Center for the Arts. After she passed away in 1999, her family established a prize in her name, which grew into the Beverly Bassford Juried Show. The show will feature fine art in all mediums by local and regional artists. Also in July, painter Rosemary Burns will occupy Studio E. She is an artist working many mediums, including painting, musical theater and opera. A graduate of the University of Maryland, Burns will be exhibiting

Artists Snyder and McManus featured at OP library in July (July 10, 2015) The Friends of the Ocean Pines Library announces two art exhibits for the coming months. In the main common areas of the library, July artist of the month is watercolorist Marcy Snyder. She discovered her love and passion for the arts in high school. She attended Colorado Women’s College and graduated with a degree in fine arts. Snyder has continued taking art classes and has studied at the Wicomico Art Institute, Wor-Wic Community College Council and Salisbury University. She is now studying with Kate Cashman at Random Juxtaposition and is a former board member at Worcester Arts Council. She exhibits on a regular basis as a member of The Art League of Ocean City Center for Arts and as a COOP member at the Worcester County Arts Council in Berlin. Snyder enjoys interpreting what she observes in nature and seeing it come

to life in her work. This exhibit is scheduled to run throughout July. The artist spotlight exhibit will feature photographer John McManus in the two computer rooms to the right of the common areas of the library. McManus has been photographing the rivers, bays harbors and wildlife of Pennsylvania and Ocean City for nearly three decades. He visits Ocean City often where he has a condo. He has been a professional photographer for more than 20 years. As a graduate of the Art Institute, he constantly strives for excellence in all the images he creates. In recent years, with the advances in digital technology, McManus has developed a technique which blends the richness of color photography with the soft beauty of oils and water colors. The images are like memories, rich with joy yet softer with age. This exhibit is scheduled to run July and August.

Julia A. Purnell Museum to offer children’s art activities (July 10, 2015) The Julia A. Purnell Museum is offering a series of heritage arts activities where children will learn about the area’s history through hands-on projects. The activities are offered every Wednesday through Aug. 12 from 1-3 pm. Throughout the summer, participants will create handmade Victorian toys, learn to play croquet in Byrd Park and engage with the museum’s collection of local artifacts. “Letting children experience history hands-on engages them with the ways people lived in the past and

helps them to think about how those ways of living shape their experiences today,” said Julia A. Purnell Museum Executive Director Dr. Cindy Byrd. Thanks to the support of the Berlin-Ocean City Optimist Club, general admission is free for children in 2015, and this includes the Heritage Arts for Kids workshops. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Pre-registration is not needed. To learn more about summer activities, contact the Julia A. Purnell Museum at 410-632-0515 or visit purnellmuseum.org.

Commentary

Alarms sound over silent sirens

An attempt to look into why two of the three fire sirens in Snow Hill haven’t been working for a couple of months seems to have set off an alarm by itself. Judging from the phone calls and conversations as of Tuesday, a good many people concluded that we were, one, intent on finding a way to smear the Snow Hill Volunteer Fire Company, two, intent on finding a way to smear county government, which manages the siren system through its 911 dispatch, or three, intent on finding a way to level both institutions with one big slam-bang expose. None of those things was on our agenda, which was, simply, to find out why two out of three fire sirens haven’t been working. That’s it. It is hardly a scandal and that people would think we believed there was some kind of skullduggery or backroom dealing at work is surprising, considering that sirens, functional or not, aren’t really all that exciting. But we did think it was a legitimate question to ask, considering that even in today’s digital age of personal pagers and such, fire sirens continue to perform a vital service in all Worcester County communities. The fact is, pagers aren’t always on, which is true from Ocean City to Pocomoke City, and is why sirens continue to be employed to alert firefighters and ambulance crews. We did wonder whether the county’s austere budgeting this year had anything to do with the situation and believed that was a fair question to ask. What we didn’t realize, though, was just how skittish people were about discussing a relatively innocent public safety subject. In the all’s well that ends well department, however, and perhaps it’s just a coincidence, but the report as of this week is that the requisite repairs are about to be made. The problem, apparently, had something to do with wiring.

Letters to the editor Walk Smart effort worthwhile

Editor, I am a huge supporter of the "Walk Smart Campaign" that Ocean City commenced a few years ago. I am a year round permanent resident and I am aware of and continue to see so many local businesses participate in the campaign by having the posters or stickers available for patrons to view or take to remind them to use the crosswalks. It was nice to read about the State's Department of Transportation Deputy Secretary teaming up with the Mayor and police officials at the new Crosswalk at 101st Street at the Clarion resort. With the overflow lot across the street from the Clarion, it was definitely needed. There is no doubt that this campaign is working, just as Mayor Meehan stated. I believe that in addition to the painted signs installed two years ago along a series of blocks, the stickers and the rest of the good literature available for the public that make up this campaign, Ocean City's law enforcement can begin to enforce jaywalking laws by stopping those who are in violation. While everyone certainly wishes for continued success with this campaign, and hopes no injuries or fatalities come about, there still are

many individuals who continue to cross without using the crosswalks. Doug Antos Ocean City

This year we selected Delaware Wild Lands, TriState Bird Rescue, and Quiet Resorts Charitable Foundation. Each of these charities responds to specific and very different needs in the community. We feel fortunate that we have the ability to help these worthy area nonprofits. We are grateful to those who those who came out and enjoyed time on the water and to our employees who volunteered. Special thanks to the 3 Blonde Bakers, Baja Beach Grill, Bethany Beach Books, Bethany Boathouse and Cottage Café for providing snacks and door prizes. And a special thank you to

Delaware Wild Lands, TriState Bird Rescue and Quiet Resorts Charitable Foundation for all the great work they do. Mitch Mitchell and Jenifer Adams-Mitchell Owners, Coastal Kayak Fenwick Island, Del.

Keep housing decisions internal

Editor, Just a thought. We hear so often these days about the need to limit the government’s intrusion(s) into our daily lives. Consider applying this philosophy to the situation confronting the property owners of Teal Drive and similar enclaves in our town. Rather than pursue government intrusion through the planning and zoning processes, why don’t the property owners take it upon themselves to organize their own group, hire counsel and develop their own property rights concord or codicil or covenant, that they may choose to apply to all their fellow owners. This might require them to ensure agreement of all the owners to become enforceable, but would seem to be in their own self-interest. More importantly it avoids the government intrusion so many seem to lament. Joe Moran Ocean City

PUBLIC EYE

BEST KIND OF CLASSROOM As part of their Service Learning project, students from the Diamondback and Dragon teams at Stephen Decatur Middle School recently participated in a kayak eco-tour with Ayers Creek Adventures. After researching three types of land erosion plans to determine which is the most environmentally sustainable, the students concluded that a Living Shoreline is the best choice. Students also completed a seining activity to identify “critters” in local waters and participated in a water quality testing activity. Pictured, from left, are Suzy Taylor of Ayers Creek Adventures, Jenna Banks, Haley Littleton, Nellie DeHart, Na’Jee Finney and De’ija Bowen.

Perfect hindsight

By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher You can be the butt of a joke and you can have a joke of a butt, but it’s a wise person who knows that it’s never good to go public with either. Such would be the case of a man hereabouts who was arrested not long ago for walking around with his pants in the posterior motive mode and treating passing traffic to the light of his silvery moon. This made me wonder about several things, not the least of which is whether someone who’s walking around with his rear-end hanging out might be described as a lunar rover. Other questions that came to mind were whether this was a full moon, a partial one but waxing gibbous, whether it completely eclipsed the sun, or was buttressed (heh, heh) by a tandem axle to make left and right turns easier. But more importantly, I wondered whether this involved the top of the bottom or the bottom of the bottom, and, if the latter was the case, why only men are arrested for it when I have seen more bottoms of bottoms this summer on any number of women who, through some sort of osmosis, have become one with their

bathing suits. Don’t get me wrong. I do not look at men in bathing suits for any reason, but was asked this question by a woman who suggested that a doublestandard might be at work. The fact is, I don’t necessarily look at all women in bathing suits, having suffered greatly once upon discovering my mother-in-law…. Suffice to say that washing your eyes with soap does hurt but that pain goes away, whereas the other might haunt you for a lifetime. We are informed by the authorities, however, that arrests for overexposure in these rearview incidents depends greatly on the intent of the individual. In other words, if a guy walks around with his pants falling down below the equator, he is being an intentional butt. If, on the other hand, a woman walks around with her bikini bottom riding up like Victor Espinoza in the Kentucky Derby, that’s fashion. Let me make it clear that I do not want the police to institute a crackdown on women wearing tiny twopieces, of which I am greatly in favor. So to answer the original question posed to me about equal protection under the law, I can only quote Charles Dickens, who observed in “Oliver Twist” through his character Mr. Bumble, “the law is a ass.”
