Motorists aid family caught in car fire Passing couple pull child from vehicle before fire erupts
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) Although traffic ground to a halt on the Route 90 bridge for nearly an hour Sunday afternoon after an SUV caught fire, quick action by a pair of Good Samaritans helped the driver and his family escaped unscathed. OCPD Public Affairs Officer Lindsay Richard said both fire and police personnel responded at approximately 2:17 p.m. for reports of a vehicle fire roughly half way across the first span of bridge west of Coastal Highway. “Westbound traffic was
stopped immediately and eastbound followed shortly after,” she said. “Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire at about 2:30 p.m.” Ocean City resident John Resh was driving near the
SUV before the incident and pulled over to help when he saw it was in trouble. “Going west on Route 90, the car was smoking, but because they were already on the bridge they really had

By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 20, 2018) The teen driver who jumped into the bay after attempting to run down several uniformed police officers and sheriff’s deputies last November, was sentenced to 10 years in prison late last week in Worcester County Circuit Court. Antonio Ambrosino Antonio Ambrosino, 18, of Seaford, Delaware told police as they were pulling him from the bay that he’d rather die than go to prison. Ambrosino faced 15 charges related to the incident, including attempted murder, but struck a deal back in March. His sentencing, following an investigation into his background, was scheduled for May, but was delayed until now. Ambrosino pleaded guilty to felony first-degree assault, misdemeanor second-degree assault and felony possession with intent to distribute marijuana — prosecutors dropped all of the other charges. The judge sentenced Ambrosino to 15 years in the assault case, with all but 10 suspended, and five years for the possession charge, which the judge also suspended.

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) Although wheelchair limitations have curtailed Betty Bellarin’s beach forays in recent years, newly installed dune crossover matting on 130th Street has brought the Ocean City resident back to the sands. “I’ve been on the beach twice this year,” she said. “I hadn’t been in two years.” Ocean City has worked with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources on a pilot program to install improved crossover surfaces at two test locations, including 94th Street, in accordance with Americans With Disabilities Act guidelines. Engineering Manager Paul Mauser said the intent is to provide improved accessibility for individuals in wheelchairs or with other mobility challenges. “We have a number of ADA accessible dune crossovers in town … typically every 10 streets from the seawall north to the Delaware line,” he said. “The matting, once that’s installed, provides a smoother surface to transverse.” Mauser said handicap beach access points in Ocean City traditionally have used clay for better surfacing on dune crossover surfaces. Bellarin said the matting provides other perks beneficial to all visitors during the height of summer heat. “The one at 130th does not get hot,” she said.
After getting her toes in the sand again this summer, Bellarin now hopes the pilot program will expand next season. “I’m trying to promote it for future expansion at handicap access points north of 27th Street,” she said. Mauser said the new surfaces have also proved helpful for families carting items to the beach. “We certainly have received a lot of compliments,” he said. Mauser said nearby resorts, such as Fenwick Island and Bethany Beach, have installed similar dune crossover matting to rave reviews. “DNR contacted us and we both saw a demand,” he said. “The state actually owns the dunes and are responsible for maintenance [but] during the summer Ocean City will take over.” Each of the two test locations feature different matting, Mauser said. “There’s really two manufacturers for dune crossovers in the U.S.,” he said. The 94th Street crossover uses a “Mobi-mat,” which is produced by Deschamps Mats Systems, a European textile company founded in 1860. Mobi-mats are produced from 100 percent recycled polyester and are saltwater resistant. The matting material, originally designed for military vehicle beach landings, has been used for two decades by the U.S. Marine Corps ExSee BEACH Page 5

OC hoping to improve inlet parking system messaging
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) Ocean City wants to revamp marketing of its the new payby-plate system in the inlet parking lot after hearing reports of visitors hurriedly departing to avoid parking fines. Councilman Wayne Hartman said on Monday several Boardwalk merchants expressed concerns that the pay-by-plate system is causing people who park in the inlet lot to rush back to their vehicles. In December, the council agreed to spend more than $736,000 with Parkeon to replace pay-and-display parking kiosks on streets and municipal parking lots. The inlet lot was then reconfigured with 17 pay-by-plate parking machines installed to replace parking attendant pay booths, which also added spaces. “Before [this year] … time wasn’t an issue … when you got back, you paid,” he said. “Now we’re asking people to pay upon arrival.” During the council meeting on Monday, Hartman said merchants told him they suspect customers are limiting their visit to the time paid for parking. “I think we need to change our messaging to, ‘pay for your entire stay before departure,’” he said. “There’s no pressure to leave if you’re having fun.” Although the associated Park Mobile phone app permits users to add parking time remotely, Hartman said a certain percentage of visitors are unlikely to embrace the technology. Before the meeting, Hartman contacted City Manager Doug Miller and proposed a “park, pay, play,” promotional theme for the inlet lot. “We need to get the message out that they can pay for their stay at the end,” he said. “ They can pay part in
the beginning and add to it.” Councilman Matt James asked how the proposal would be regulated and monitored. Miller said he discussed the marketing approach with Hartman the day before the meeting and called the idea a “logical progression, but said more time would be required to examine the strategy. “I have not been able to sit down with the folks on our team that would make that work,” he said. James then turned the focus to parking arrangements at the inlet lot during the Fourth of July. “In years past, haven’t we charged a day fee, like $50 on the fourth?” he said. “Was there a reason we didn’t do that this year?” Council president Lloyd Martin said the intent was to curtail long lines leaving the lot. “The reason we started doing the $50 fee was everybody left the lot at the same time,” he said. “People were sitting in the lot sometimes for an hour to get out.” Miller said the approach for this fourth was an experiment. “One of the motivations of doing the flat fee was to get people out in the past,” he said. “We wanted to see what the revenue comparisons would be using the everyday system versus the all day fee.” Miller said further analysis would be done with a potential adjustment for next year. Mayor Rick Meehan said the city’s Transportation Committee recommended that changes to the inlet lot pay-by-plate system could be discussed after summer closes. “At the end of the summer we need to have a recap of how the parking system worked and meet with the ven-

dor,” he said. In addition to promoting the Park Mobile phone app, Meehan said there should be an educational component, and also proposed adding a permanent variable message sign. “Educate them they can pay for the time when they get back to their parking space if, in fact, they exceed their limit,” he said. Martin asked Miller to consult with staff and return with recommendations at a future work session.
Continued from Page 4 peditionary Unit. The 130th Street crossover features an “AccessMat,” which is produced by AccessRec of Clifton, New Jersey. AccessMats are made from 100 percent non-woven polyester roll, which is UV stabilized and recyclable after use. The manufacturer’s website said the non-woven material provides a cool surface for bare feet and is able to contour to undulating surfaces. Mauser said both test locations would be evaluated after summer and, if deemed successful, the program could be expanded. The initial cost was about $7,000 for each mat, which would likely increase next year, Mauser said. “Both manufacturers gave promotional rates [and] each location length varies some,” he said. Bellarin is hoping to champion the cause after witnessing more than a dozen mobility-challenged individuals cross the 130th Street dune on a recent sunny afternoon. “They’re delighted to get that far,” he said. “One man hadn’t been on the beach in five years … he had tears in his eyes.”

Ocean City seeks grant to revamp dog park
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) Although it apparently barked up the wrong tree last year, Ocean City government is again asking the state for more than $140,000 in funding to improve the Ocean City Dog Playground on 94th Street. Councilman Wayne Hartman said Parks and Recreation Director Susan Petito has applied for a Community Parks and Playground grant through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. “Last year, we submitted for a grant for improvements to the dog park, but we were not successful,” he said. Speaking at the council meeting on Monday, Hartman said Petito expressed optimism about the latest request during the Recreation and Parks Committee meeting last Tuesday. “Some things have changed, and Susan thought we would be successful this year,” he said. “We agreed to submit a grant [request] for $147,000 for improvements to the existing dog park.” Although leashed dogs are allowed on the beach and Boardwalk from October through April, canines are restricted from those areas during the

remainder of the year. Communications Manager Jessica Waters said the resort strives to be a dog-friendly community and recognizes many visitors are accompanied by pets while on vacation.

“It’s more challenging in the summer because of crowds,” she said. “That’s why we have ordinances preventing dogs on the beach and Boardwalk.” Waters said the city provides alter-
native locations for outdoor time with pets. “We have great spots to bring your dog to in Northside Park or the dedicated dog park on 94th Street,” she said. While Northside Park allows owners to walk dogs on leashes, the Dog Playground in Little Salisbury Park on 94th Street bayside provides a space for four-legged friends to roam free. Before using the facility, dog owners need to visit the Parks and Recreation Center at Northside Park to buy a pass, which also requires proof of current licensing and rabies vaccinations. The cost for an annual pass is $110 for nonresidents and $50 for residents. Half-year passes, which begin after July, are available for $60 for nonresidents and $30 for residents. A seven-day pass is available for $15. The Dog Playground is open daily from dawn to dusk, with separate areas for dogs above or below 28 pounds. The site also contains grassy terrain, benches and trash receptacles. “Continuing to improve the dog park is a priority,” Waters said. “Furry family members are important.”

Million-dollar radio project technical problems abound
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 20, 2018) For about four years now, the emergency services department of Worcester County has been working on a new public safety radio system that would integrate county and town communications systems so they could respond more effectively to emergency situations. That project is currently in the testing phase, on which hinges the acceptance of the multi-million dollar system, and it doesn’t work. “The county accepted beneficial use of the new radio system on Feb. 14, 2018 under a conditional acceptance addendum,” Fred Webster, county emergency services director, wrote in a memo to the county commissioners. “Conditional acceptance was required due to a failed coverage acceptance test as well as a delay in the construction of the final transmitter site located in West Ocean City.” Webster noted that some fire departments’ radios were crossing wires with two other jurisdictions: Virginia Beach, Virginia and the New Jersey Transit Authority. To save money, county staff has been working on installing the system to this point — undertaking project management, site management, field engineering and technician-level responsibilities, according to Webster. County staff, Webster said, has run out of ideas on how to fix the interference. The tower situation is somewhat more straightforward, as in the county will eventually get its equipment, but ordering delays and other factors have stalled the installation of the tower. Webster said neither he or his employees or the engineers at the radio supplier, the Harris corporation, have any answers to the interference troubles. What might work, he suggested, would be to hire an outside engineering firm to look at the problem and propose solutions. The county commissioners were
disturbed by this prospect for two reasons: the estimated cost of the engineering consultants was estimated to be about $77,000 and the consultants’ report would not be guaranteed to fix the issue. Webster said he knew in advance the tower might be a problem, because to get the best price on the microwave apparatus to be installed on the tower, the Harris Corporation recommended its supplier, Eastern Microwave. That brought another vendor into the mix. The order was placed in June, Webster said. Eastern Microwave, Webster said, wanted the tower built before the equipment was ordered, but before the tower was finished, a delay hit the supplier, pushing the microwave system delivery until mid-August. Commissioner Jim Bunting asked Webster who was at fault for the tower delay. “It’s between us and Eastern,” he replied. In Ocean City, the entire system is being installed by Eastern, Webster said, and it has also experienced delays. Time is of the essence, as Commissioner Bud Church noted testing needed to occur soon — before the leaves start falling from the trees as autumn approaches. Full foliage trees might also interfere with the system, so testing is conducted when the conditions are present. Though he did not think the completion of the system would necessarily solve the outstanding issues, Commissioner Joe Mitrecic moved to table the discussion of hiring the consultant engineers until it was finished. He added that he would like to see the contract with the consultants tightened in the meantime, to further reduce the scope of the work and hopefully reduce the final bill for the service. The commissioners accepted the recommendation to table the issue unanimously.

Wildfowl experts counter goose proponents
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 19, 2018) While some considered Ocean Pines’ resident Canada goose population to be unofficial mascots, outside-only pets or a welcome sight upon returning home, experts said maintaining such a population can stress systems that people spent a long time getting just right. “The lawns, parks and golf courses we create makes ideal Canada goose habitat,” Josh Homyack, waterfowl program manager for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, said. “When we insert those into areas with water access, that just makes it more inviting.” Homyack said he didn’t believe those conditions developed together, but were just a coincidence that makes goose management a concern. “I don’t think it happened on purpose, but a goose doesn’t know that,” Homyack said. The addition of humans to an area often results in a decline in predators, making the area even safer for the geese. Homyack said the geese were brought here about 100 years ago for hunting opportunities. “They were also used as live decoys when that was allowed. When they got rid of that, the geese just stayed,” he said. Goose populations were cultivated by humans for this purpose and spent generation after generation in relative cap-

tivity to the point where their migratory instincts just disappeared. “A lot of people think these birds still migrate,” he said. Genetically, Homyack said, these birds are a subspecies of the migratory ones and bring their own problems to the areas they claim as their home. “Generally, problems arise when their numbers or density has increased in an area that is incompatible. These problems include: overgrazing of grass, ornamental plants and agricultural crops; accumulation of droppings and feathers; disease; attacks on humans by aggressive birds; and the fouling of reservoirs, swimming areas, docks, lawns and recreational areas,” Tanya Espinoza, public affairs specialist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, animal and plant health inspection service, said. Her department is responsible for the culling of the flock of 290 Canada geese from Ocean Pines at the end of
June. Nationally these geese, which Espinoza calls resident Canada geese, have increased in population from 230,000 in 1970 to 3.89 million in 2009, she said. “The resident population in this area is too large,” she said. “When formulating management strategies, Wildlife Services specialists consider protected species, environmental impacts, the cost effectiveness of methods, and social and legal concerns. Management strategies may include the application of one or more techniques and consideration is first given to nonlethal methods.” Espinoza provided necessary context to what is now being kept out of local waterways. “Canada geese deposit one half to one full pound of feces per bird per day, which can significantly accumulate during molt season or on small properties with large flocks. In comparison, an average size dog drops about one half
pound, which responsible owners clean up,” she said. That’s almost 300 pounds of poo per day — more than one ton per week. “The geese were humanely collected and euthanized, using methods approved by the American Veterinary Medical Association. The meat from the geese is processed and donated to local food pantries,” she said. Espinoza did not elaborate on what method was used to euthanize the geese. “The public can help and is encouraged to not feed waterfowl, including resident Canada geese. Although it can be entertaining to feed the geese and other animals, the food normally given is poor nutrition for geese and contributes to the conflicts that lead to removals such as this. High numbers of geese and easy access to food, including manicured lawns and handouts, often results in negative interactions between geese and people,” she said.

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFS
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The City Council addressed the following topics during its meeting on Monday:
Choose your ride After the idea gained traction during the Police Commission meeting last Monday, Wayne Hartman presented a proposal for the “Choose Your Ride,” anti-DUI marketing campaign to the full council. To discourage people from getting behind the wheel when intoxicated, Hartman suggested Ocean City follow the lead of the Miami Police Department, which has employed out-of-commission law enforcement vehicles for a public safety initiative. “The front is a cop car and the back half is painted like a taxi,” he said. “If you drink, take a cab or end up in police custody.” Hartman said Miami also painted “Choose Your Ride,” as a public safety visual reminder. Hartman said the Police Commission supported sending the idea to the council for approval. Councilman Dennis Dare suggested gathering more details, including pricing, and revisiting the topic at an upcoming work session. Hartman made a motion, which received unanimous support, while noting the costs should be minimal. “We need to tow it to a location and it needs half a paint job,” he said.
Zoning map revisions The council approved a pair of zon-
ing ordinances based on recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission last month. The first ordinance adds amusement arcades as a conditional use in a BM-1 Bayside Marine District. The commission approved the measure on June 5. The commission said the conditional use should not interfere or adversely affect current or future marine operations and should not result in the loss of water-related activities. The recommendation from the zoning commission also noted permitting the conditional use provides an economic benefit to the city as source of employment and the income-related taxes generated. The second ordinance amends the zoning district map to correct a split zoning classification at 3401 Coastal Highway. The parcel was largely zoned LC-1 low commercial, with a small portion classified as R-2 medium residential. During its June 5 meeting, the zoning commission also approved this ordinance. The zoning commission said the amendment was required to correct a zoning map mistake from January 1993. Upon council approval, the entire parcel would be zoned as LC-1 low commercial. The zoning commission said there is no reason for the parcel to be divided into different zoning classifications, while also noting the city’s Comprehensive Plan recognizes the ‘bayside’ of Coastal Highway as a preferred location for commercial development.
Economic feasibility of LED light switchover questioned Association president says his building hasn’t seen cost savings from overhaul
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) After learning Ocean City government has been investigating the feasibility of converting street lights on Coastal Highway to LED, Delmarva Condominium Manager’s Association President Joe Groves said the anticipated cost savings could be fleeting. Groves told the council during its meeting Monday that his organization converted the majority of its buildings to LED lighting about four years ago. “We thought it was the greatest thing in the world and would save us all this money,” he said. Groves said the project became feasible due to a subsidy through Delmarva Power. “Despite one building needing
about $80,000 worth of lights, I only had to spend $1,700 for the program,” he said. As part of the incentive program, Groves said the LED lights have a fiveyear warranty, but also noted replacement costs are significantly higher than conventional bulbs. “You can’t replace the bulb, you have to replace the entire fixture,” he said. “They’re $200-$400 every time you replace them.” For now, Groves has not felt an economic impact from the light conversion, but his apprehension grows as the warranty period winds down. “In the first four years we probably have lost … 20 lights, but they were under warranty,” he said. “In another year it will cost me a lot of money when I start replacing lights because they do go up.” Four years after making the conversion, Groves has come full circle on the cost benefits of LED lights. “I feel like I didn’t think it through when we did it,” he said.

County increases spending threshold from 10K to 25K Establishes higher limit for department heads to make purchases without approval
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 20, 2018) With Worcester County government’s implementation of new accounting software, it’s time to update the rules and procedures that have governed the process since 2002, Assistant County Administrator Kelly Shannahan told the county commissioners Tuesday. Practices that were once commonplace have become automated, Shannahan said, and inflation has transformed the staff’s $10,000 spending threshold from a boon to a burden. Essentially, county department heads have been able to approve up to $10,000 in purchases on their own authority without seeking the opinion of the elected board. Shannahan, however, said a study Calvert County conducted in February 2018 found that most counties have upped their bidding thresholds to $25,000 or more, though no response was received from Anne Arundel, Howard and Prince George’s counties. The study found only five responding counties had a threshold under $25,000 — Worcester, Calvert, Dorch-
ester, Garrett and Talbot. Dorchester County had the lowest spending threshold at $5,000, and Montgomery County had the highest at $100,000. By increasing the spending limit Shannahan said the county could save up to a month’s time and about $200 in advertising fees per instance of the formal bidding process. Departments heads would have to solicit comparative prices from at least three vendors for items or services estimated to cost between $10,000$24,999, from two vendors if the price is between $2,000-$9,999 and for items less than that, proposals are preferred but not required. In all cases, according to the code, department heads are instructed to make purchases with consideration for the best price and value. Emergency purchases can be made with the approval of the chief administrative officer during a crisis. Commissioners Jim Bunting and Chip Bertino both voted against the measure, with the former stating he was more willing to go to $15,000 rather than the full $25,000, and the latter is on the record stating he prefers competitive bids in almost every instance. The five remaining members of the board voted to approve the resolution making the change to county code.

High school seniors polled regarding future directions By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The 449 students who graduated from Worcester County Public Schools this past year came from assorted backgrounds and will be going in an equal number of different directions, according to a senior survey conducted by the board of education as the school days wound down. Coordinator of Accountability and Assessment Amy Gallagher presented the survey results to the Worcester County Board of Education at its monthly meeting on Tuesday,. Of the three public high schools in Worcester, 64 percent (286) of high school graduates came from Stephen Decatur, 19 percent (86) came from Pocomoke, and 17 percent (77) came from Snow Hill. The surveys included demographic statistics based on gender and ethnicity in each school, as well as academic statistics on topics such as classes taken at Worcester Technical High School, advanced placement and dual enrollment participation, and use of counseling services.
In 2018, Worcester County Public School students completed 610 advanced placement exams, with 64.6 percent of exams receiving a score of 3 or higher. This is around the state average. The top counseling services involved college applications, college searches and information, scholarship searches, FASFA information and registration for tests like advanced placement or SATS/ACTS. Class of 2018 graduates were offered $11.5 million in scholarships across the three high schools. Of the offered scholarships, $4.6 million were accepted. Snow Hill High had the highest percentage of scholarship applications at 51.9 percent, followed by Stephen Decatur at 47.2 percent, and Pocomoke High with 33.8 percent. Students were also asked about their plans after high school. “I think what they’re planning to do beyond high school is encouraging,” Gallagher said. “It reinforces the focus on education and the importance that we’re teaching our kids about the value of their education.” See MAJORITY Page 12

Bids packages selected for Showell Elementary project By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The bidding phase for the Showell Elementary replacement project was completed as of last Wednesday, as schools Superintendent Lou Taylor recommended approval of 15 bid packages. The new Showell Elementary School will replace the existing 40year-old school, which a 2014 feasibility study identified as having major instructional and building system deficiencies. Twenty-nine companies bid for the 15 bid packages in the board of education meeting room on Wednesday, June 13. The construction manager, Oak Contracting LLC, reviewed the bids and conducted reviews from June 18 to July 11. Oak Contracting LLC also conducted a pre-bid meeting on Tuesday, May 15, at Showell Elementary School. Representatives reviewed the project requirements and answered bidder’s questions. The following bidders were approved – Reynolds Excavating; Harkins Concrete; Diamond State Masonry; Crystal Steel Fabricators; KB Coldiron; Cole Roofing Company; Charles Brown Glass; Leonard Kraus Co; Churchville Tile & Marble; Value Carpet One; Jamestown Painting;
11400; TJ Distributors; Joseph M. Zimmer and Nickle Electrical Companies. Facilities planner Joe Price announced the list of bidders and the projected costs to the Worcester County Board of Education during its monthly meeting on Tuesday,. “Mr. Joe Price has worked very hard to bring these bids into one bill, turning these bids into the numbers they are today,” Taylor said on Tuesday. “We feel very confident moving forward and making sure that we are ready to present our bids to funding agencies with the state account as we move this project forward.” The 15 bid packages include sitework and building demolition, building concrete, masonry, structural steel, carpentry, roofing/metal wall planes, windows, drywall, ceramic tile, carpet, paint, food service equipment, gym equipment, mechanical and electrical. Total construction costs are estimated at $39,045,266. The maximum state allocation is $8,672,000. The overall cost for the replacement school is projected to be roughly $47.5 million. The superintendent recommended approval for the bids. School construction is expected to kick off in early 2019.
Majority of Worcester school graduates pursuing college Continued from Page 11 For all three schools, the most common plans after high school is to attend a college or university. For Pocomoke High school, 77.9 percent of students plan to attend college or university, for Stephen Decatur, 73.8 percent, and for Snow Hill, 69.7 percent. The second most popular option was to enter the workforce immediately, followed by entering the military, and less than six percent of all three schools combined has other plans after graduating. “We don’t specifically identify trade school, so we do have a lot of students who don’t pursue a fouryear or two-year college degree but
they do attend workforce development programs or training in the trades, so that would probably fall into the [classification of] other,” Gallagher said. “You have students that participate in service, opportunities, and take some time off before they enter college, [and] kids who enter the workforce and then plan to enter college or university later.” The most popular aspirations for post-secondary education were for a master’s degree among Stephen Decatur and Snow Hill graduates, while a majority of Pocomoke graduates plan to earn a bachelor’s degree. “They’re planning on really pursuing their education beyond high school,” Gallagher said.

The van comes with at nurse practitioner and other health providers who perform free routine screenings and help people navigate the healthcare system.
PRMC’s Wagner Wellness Van to visit Health Dept.
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 20, 2018) Worcester County and Peninsula Regional Medical Center entered into an agreement to provide free preventative services to residents once per week for the next year. County Health Officer Becky Jones presented a memorandum of understanding between the county and the hospital in Wicomico County during Tuesday’s regular meeting of the County Commissioners, who passed the measure unanimously. The van will be stationed at the Health Department, 6040 Public Landing Road, Snow Hill, one day per week until the end date of the agreement, now set for June 30, 2019. However, the agreement continues without authorization until such time as one of the parties notifies the other in writing, with at least 30 days notice. The van offers a host of services for both men and women, along with pregnant women and children. The list of services has been determined by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, part of the Department of Health and Human Services. In all, there are a few dozen entries on the list of provided services and include several different screenings, such as for cancer, HIV and sexually transmitted disease as well as counseling on a variety of topics like alcohol misuse and skin cancer. “There were three goals in brining the wellness van here,” Jones said. “We want to improve care coordination, provide telehealth to Smith IsSee FREE Page 14

AGH adds medication disposal receptacle
(July 20, 2018) Because of a donation from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Department, championed by Lt. N. J. Passwaters, Sgt. Matt Crisafulli and Sheriff Reggie Mason, Atlantic General Hospital and AGHRx RediScripts Pharmacy announce the installation of a Medsafe Drug disposal receptacle. In Maryland only one public controlled substance disposal location for medications is available for every 32 pharmacies. Yet in 2017, there were over 66 million prescriptions filled at retail pharmacies with over 26 million of these prescriptions left unfinished. The need for expanded drug disposal solutions is overwhelming and contributes to stockpiles of unused and unwanted medications in home medicine cabinets as well as improper disposal of prescription medications. Since the beginning of June 2018, the Medsafe Drug Disposal receptacle has been in place in the Berlin hospital and available to community members to drop off their unused and unwanted mediations 24 hours a day, 365 days per year for safe disposal
and destruction through the process preferred by the DEA, FDA and the EPA. While the vast majority of commonly prescribed medications can be disposed of through the Medsafe Drug disposal receptacle, there are certain restrictions. Items unacceptable for disposal include aerosol sprays, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, needles, syringes or sharps containers, more than four ounces of liquid, trash, mercury thermometers, batteries, chemicals, or durable medical equipment supplies. For more information about safe drug disposal options or to inquire about how Atlantic General Hospital and AGHRx RediScripts Pharmacy can help more effectively access and manage the medications needed to stay healthy, contact a member of the AGHRx RediScripts Pharmacy staff on the main campus of Atlantic General Hospital at 410-641-9240 or by email at Rediscripts@atlanticgeneral.org. The Medsafe Drug disposal receptacle is located in the main lobby of Atlantic General Hospital near the reception desk.

Families meet for weekly cookouts at BIT house in OC
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) From Memorial Day to mid-September, Believe in Tomorrow House by the Sea on 66th Street hosts a weekly cookout for families staying there on Monday nights at 5 p.m., so the groups can bond and start off their first night in Ocean City on a high note. The deck area has picnic tables, chairs, a tiki bar and a table set up with food donated by various restaurants in Ocean City and the surrounding areas. This week, Smoker’s BBQ Pit in West Ocean City provided giant hot dogs, pulled pork, potato salad and macaroni and cheese. Summerthemed s’mores cupcakes were donated by Patty Cakes in Snow Hill, and Martin’s Seafood in Ocean City provided steamed shrimp. Fried chicken, ice cream and specialty drinks were also available. “We’ve been doing the cookout here for 17 years since I’ve been here,” said Wayne Littleton, program and volunteer coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program. “We’ve had cases

through the years where families scheduled to come back at the same time together. Every week is different.” After dinner, the children played various games including a largerthan-life version of Jenga, mini golf, and they built their own ice cream sundaes. Madison Davis, 9, from Hampton, Virginia, has recurrent metastatic ependymoma, a rare form of brain cancer. She was diagnosed at 5 years old.
“As part of her treatments we were in a clinical trial in Chicago so we had to fly back and forth to Chicago once a week for seven to eight weeks,” her mother, Melanie, said. “On our flights home, randomly the man sitting next to us asked if we heard of Believe in Tomorrow. By the time we landed I’d gotten an email from someone on the board. We first heard about them last November.” Madison had her ninth surgery a week ago. See OC Page 26
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The Ocean Pines Anglers Club will host the 22nd annual Art Hansen Memorial Youth Fishing Contest at the Ocean Pines South Gate Pond near the Sports Core Pool, on Saturday, July 21. Participants will compete in three age categories: 4-7, 8-11 and 12-16. There is no cost to participate. “The Anglers Club is a group of local fishermen and part of their enjoyment is fishing with their kids and grandkids, and so forth,” Ocean Pines Anglers Club member Walt Boge said. “A number of years ago, about 22 years ago now, one of the founders decided we ought to have a kid’s fishing contest and have their families participate.” Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the contest will run from 910:30 a.m. Bait and water will be provided by the Anglers Club. The young anglers who catch the largest fish in each division will receive a trophy. In addition, the three participants who reel in the most fish in each division will take home a prize as well. Eight or nine judges will be on hand to record how big each catch is and the species. “We normally get anywhere between 70 and 90 kids coming,” Boge said. “We anticipate anywhere up to 100 kids.” Competitors should bring their own rod and reel, as well as sunscreen. The Anglers Club will have a See FISHING Page 28

OC house provides getaway for families with ill children Continued from Page 26 “This is like a Disney vacation we didn’t have to plan or pay for,” Melanie said. “It’s phenomenal. Everything is taken care of.” Spending the day at Jolly Roger Amusements, beach time, horseback riding and multiple games of miniature golf are planned for this week for the families. Other activities include going on radio station Ocean 98, getting pedicures and manicures, boat rides, rides on a Coast Guard boat each Wednesday, visiting the Ocean City Center for the Arts, enjoying the Boardwalk and visiting eateries like Hooper’s Crab House and Pickles Pub. “I’m looking forward to the horses,” Madison Davis said. “And getting my nails done.” According to Davis, her nails will be painted orange, which is Believe in Tomorrow’s theme color. Columbus, Ohio resident, Martisha Tweed, and her three kids, Trey, 11, Grace, 8, and Madyson, 3, heard about Believe in Tomorrow through the Nationwide Children’s hospital. This was their second visit to the respite house. Trey Tweed had a clival chordoma, a cancerous brain tumor. He was diagnosed in May 2017. He is currently in remission, finishing radiation Dec. 27, 2017. “Everything has been amazing. They make you forget about all the stuff that you’re going through in your life, and just be able to escape and not have to worry about anything the whole week you’re here,” Martisha Tweed said. “I think the kids are more excited about Jolly Roger.” “[Personally], I like the water the most,” Trey said.
The facility on 66th Street is open year-round to provide a free getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness. “In the summertime, it’s never empty,” Littleton said. “Everybody’s on the same schedule. They all check in between 4-7 p.m. on Sunday night, and they stay until next Sunday. [They] leave by 10, and by 4 o’clock we’ll have six new families in.” The organization houses an average of 135 families each year. Each of the four 66th Street condos feature kid-friendly décor and paintings with at least two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a fully-stocked kitchen, living and dining room areas. In 2016, Believe in Tomorrow acquired another property on 65th Street, which is just a few steps away from the back balcony of the 66th Street residence. The house on 65th Street was tore down and organization members are discussing potential uses for the lot. Families can also vacation at the Believe in Tomorrow House in Fenwick Island and House by the Bay on 28th Street. Fundraisers help raise money to provide these essential week-long excursions for critically ill children and their families. “We’re the best at what we do here,” Littleton said. “Most charities like Make a Wish is one and done. They grant your wish and go on to another family. With us, we want the family in our program from the time they’re diagnosed to post treatment.” Learn more about Believe in Tomorrow at http://believeintomorrow.org/ or call 410-723-2842.

WYFCS collecting school supplies By Josh Davis Associate Editor (July 20, 2018) Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services in Berlin have begun its annual back-toschool supply collection for children in Kindergarten through eighth grade. Last year more than 200 backpacks were given to schoolchildren at Buckingham Elementary School, Ocean City Elementary School and Pocomoke Middle School. Debbie Smullen, billing and insurance specialist for Worcester Youth, said the collection is done with help from the Berlin Police Department, which each year donates either school supplies or the backpacks to hold them. Additional partners are Stevenson United Methodist Church and Friendship Methodist United Church, both in Berlin. Along with distributing supplies to schools, “We give the backpacks to all of our kids who are in our Berlin Youth Club program, and also our SAGES and SABERS programs,” Smullen said. “We make sure we provide for them, as well as their siblings through our Family Connections program.” Collection boxes for donations are set up at Worcester Youth and Family’s office on 124 North Main Street, Suite C, in Berlin and at Ayers Creek Adventures on 8628 Grey Fox Lane in Berlin. “They give discounts off the services at Ayers Creek if their customers bring in school supplies to donate,” Smullen said. The first round of backpacks will
be distributed during the next Bus Stop Snack Shack, Aug. 17 at Dr. William Henry Park in Berlin from 46 p.m. “Parents can come and get a backpack at that time,” Smullen said. She added how wide the supplies are distributed this year would be based on “how much we can actually get from donations.” School supplies needed are: -One, three and five-subject notebooks -Backpacks -Bottles of glue -Colored pencils -Composition books -Crayola crayons -Dividers -Dry erase markers -Ear buds
-Glue sticks -Hand sanitizer -Highlighters -Large pink erasers -Notebook paper -Pencils, #2 -Plastic folders with pockets -Pocket folders with brads -School box, pencil case -Scissors, blunt with metal blades -Scissors, Friskars are best -Tissues -Wipes, Lysol or Clorox -White paper plates -Zip lock bags, all sizes Additionally, financial contributions can be made to Worcester Youth and earmarked for the back to school drive.

Tenth annual Jesse’s Paddle in Snow Hill this Saturday By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The Pocomoke River in Snow Hill will be overrun with canoes, kayaks and paddleboards in support of suicide prevention during the 10th annual Jesse’s Paddle fundraiser, this Saturday. The event, which is organized by the Friends of the Jesse Klump Memorial Fund, will take place at the Pocomoke River Canoe Company on River Street. Up to five dozen boats will be launched into the river starting at 5 p.m., with registration beginning at 4 p.m. The fund was established in 2009 by Worcester resident Kim Klump after her son, Jesse, a college-bound Snow Hill High School senior, took his own life. In the immediate aftermath of her son’s suicide, Klump created the Jesse Klump Memorial Scholarship and in 2011 began the Jesse Klump Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program. “Jesse worked at the canoe company and he enjoyed paddling and it just seemed to make sense that we would have a fundraiser around that,” Klump said. “My expectations are that it’ll be the biggest and best one yet. It’s our 10th anniversary and we tried to play that up and introduce a couple new things.” In addition to free food, drinks and a silent auction, there will be live music at 4:30 p.m. as well as ice cream from
Chesapeake Bay Farms and a digital photobooth in recognition of the 10th fundraiser. Snow Hill’s “King of Rock and Roll” Nick Haglich will headline the entertainment with classic rock songs. Haglich was a friend of Klump’s and has been performing during the event for the past three years. Fund Manager Ron Pilling said last year’s Jesse’s Paddle raised approximately $25,000 and had over 200 participants. “It’s been between 150-200 people every year since the first year,” he said. “The paddle is a great event and a great fundraiser. People know why they’re there. They know what the mission is.” Prizes for top fundraisers include hotel stays in Ocean City and a luxury pontoon boat cruise for 10 guests on the Pocomoke. There will also be prizes for those holding the best hands in the Poker Paddle, with first, second and third place earning Amazon gift cards for $75, $50 and $25, respectively. The Jesse Klump Memorial Fund provided a $15,000 scholarship to a Snow Hill High School graduate this year. “Funds from the paddle are key to our ability to support a significant scholarship,” Pilling stated in a press release. “Since 2009 we have granted over $100,000 in scholarships, and last year we added a program to offer grants to educators and men-

tal health professionals to augment our work in suicide prevention.” The Jesse Klump Suicide Awareness & Prevention Program travels across the lower Eastern Shore teaching the recognition of suicide’s risk factors and warning signs, with the goal of reducing the historically-high suicide rates in local communities. “We partner with a bunch of other organization and a coalition called The Lower Eastern Shore Suicide Prevention Coalition made up of hospitals and boards of education, and counseling
services,” Pilling said. “Everybody who has some aspect of suicide prevention or mental health work.” The program also includes Safe Talk, a three-hour suicide prevention workshop, as well as attendance at numerous health fairs throughout Worcester County. “We sponsor a program called SOS (Signs of Suicide) that we’ve taught in middle schools in Worcester County for the last three years,” Pilling said. “We also do outreach work to veterans, who suffer extraordinary high rates of suicide.” See PADDLE Page 30

Paddle fundraiser for scholarships, Klump programs Continued from Page 29 In addition, Klump hosts a grievers and suicide loss group the third Wednesday of every month from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Berlin Health Center, 9730 Healthway Drive. “I’ve let people know what to look for, what warning signs they might see and what they can do to prevent a death from suicide,” Klump said. For more information or to register, and to reserve a canoe, kayak or paddleboard, call 410-632-3971. For more information about the program, call Pilling at 443-982-2716.

Preparing pickled watermelon rinds
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (July 20, 2018) There was a time when my youth prevailed and life could not have been better. Modeling in New York City with one of the top agencies proved to be quite an exciting experience. A few years later I was on scholarship at the Lee Strasberg Institute for acting in Los Angeles and was invited to study in London. Before I knew it, I was jet setting across the country, dining in the finest restaurants and enjoying a life of luxury. Now that I have turned the ripe age of 60, I cannot remember a time where a little extra belly padding (if you will) has not grace my waistline. Wrinkles seem to magically appear

out of thin air; my $200 jar of face cream doesn’t seem to do the trick anymore. And if that’s not enough, reminders are posted throughout my home in case my Alzheimer’s kicks in. The mirror is a constant reflection and the image is not always easy to digest. Change is an intricate part of life and acceptance is necessary if one values their sanity. As progression follows in the near distance, I have come to relish the art of cooking with all of its incredible wonders. The kitchen has become my safe haven, free of petty judgement. The trinity of inquiry, passion and understanding are the deciding factors that lead me to solitude. It is understood that cooking is about following carefully calculated recipes. It has also been established that the comprehension of science can greatly influence one’s ability, not grasp gastronomy. And for those who appreciate the importance of creativity, cooking is an art that can be taken to levels beyond comprehension. But cookery is so much more. Allow me to share what I believe is the essence of sharing a meal. Just as our family’s table settings seem to be dwindling, a few new ones are on the horizon. But that does not change the fact that I dearly miss those who are no longer with us. Each plate holds a lifetime of memories that can never be replaced. A heart never forgets, but by incorporating these reminiscences into my menu, I can continue to share the many blessings that have made such an impression on my life. Something as simple as pickled watermelon rind inundates my sense memory with delightful, aromatic recollections. I can see Aunt Jenny, clear as day, taking on the pressure cooker with no regrets. We did not have air conditioning and a wet, cool towel always adorned her neck during this heated, meticulous process. I can remember Aunt Jenny telling me the art of pickling is to balance the sweetness with the acidity. That being said, most pickling recipes call for equal amounts of sugar and vinegar. I find that rice vinegar is the perfect vinegar for pickling. It has a nice bite to it that is typical for vinegar but is not as aggressive as other types of vinegars. Things have changed, the art of canning is no longer a prevalent pas-
time. Fast-food and dollar menus are taking top honors, but “choice” is also for the partaking. When I prepare pickled watermelon rind, I cannot help but think of the special times Aunt Jenny and I shared together. It also gives me the opportunity to share her delicious recipe for those who are not familiar with it. Pickled watermelon rind is a southern tradition and is proudly displayed at local farmer’s markets. It can be served as an accompaniment to cheese and crackers, grilled meats, or even desserts. Pickled watermelon presented in a canning jar adorned with rustic ribbon makes a lovely gift during the months of summer. If you want to a have a taste of the past, pickled watermelon rind is the perfect bite. Enjoy!
Pickle Watermelon Rind
Ingredients 6 cups water 3 pounds watermelon rind 1 tablespoon plus ½ teaspoon kosher salt 1 ½ cups rice vinegar 1 ½ cups sugar splash of vanilla 2 tablespoons pickling spice 1 tablespoon whole Jamaican allspice 2 inches cinnamon 1. Using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife, remove the green skin from the watermelon rind; discard. The removal of the dark green rind helps facilitate the pickling process. Using a spoon, scrape any remaining pink flesh from the white rind; again discard. Cut the rind into 2-by-1/2inch pieces. 2. In a medium saucepan, combine 5 cups water and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil. Add the watermelon rind, lower heat and cook at a rapid simmer until tender but not mushy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a clean, quart jar. 3. In the reserved saucepan, combine 1 cup water, ½ teaspoon salt, vinegar, sugar, vanilla, pickling spice, Jamaican allspice and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt, and pour the hot liquid into the canning jar (over the rind). Allow to cool to room temperature. Then secure top of the canning jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks. Secret Ingredient — Time. “The end of time is the birthday of eternity.” – Edward Council

American Legion convention in OC marks 100 years
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The American Legion held its 100th convention at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street, July 10-14. It was also the 51st consecutive convention held in the resort. The American Legion has hosted its conventions in Ocean City long before the convention center was constructed. The second convention in Ocean City took place in tents in 1968, where the center would eventually be built. This latest event kicked off the centennial celebration of the American Legion. The legion will celebrate for an entire year leading up to the 100th anniversary of the organization. The American Legion was officially established September 1919. “It’s important to us because our forefathers in WWI started this organization for their brothers and sisters who came back from the war to make sure they were taken care of,” said Russell W. Myers Jr., adjutant for the American Legion Department of Maryland. “That’s a call we still honor to this day. It’s important to celebrate but it’s also important to remember why we were founded and how to carry on the traditions in our communities all across the state.” The convention had many guest speakers this year, including Gov. Larry Hogan, retired veterans and Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot. “I happen to be a big fan of everybody getting the military experience because I think it will set them up on the path for a life of dignity and independence and constructive contributions to the community,” Franchot See VOLUNTEER Page 33

Volunteer, donate to local American Legion currently undergoing final changes. “We’re going to try to bring the parade back, we haven’t had a parade in [10] years because there’s a lot of walking and people are old, but we’re going to try and work it out because the parade goes with the territory,” Garlitz said. “We’re working on the guests coming in, [but] it’s not out in the makings of everything we’re doing. The committee has been working for a year already.” The legion has a rich history involved with helping others, assisting veterans and their families, children, and several organizations. “We’re founded on four pillars – veterans rehabilitation and service, defense, Americanism/patriotism, and children and youth,” Myers said. “We do varied programs throughout the communities and all 23 counties, Baltimore City and the state, providing services to all those different populations, advocating with the legislative and national with Congress to assist all those people that we look to assist.” “They decided in 1919 we’re going to take care of our veterans and their family, our youth.

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (July 20, 2018) If you spend anytime at the beach and listen to local television or radio at this time of the year, you will hear about the dangers of rip currents. I get a lot of questions about what the difference between a rip current and a rip tide is and what makes them so dangerous. You will see on local and national news coverage stories about rip currents. Although they are often mistakenly referred to as “rip tides,” they are in fact a current. A current is simply a volume of water moving from one location to another. In contrast, tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun and occur about every 12 hours. What makes a rip current dangerous is that it moves water away from the beach and out to sea, where north or south currents (littoral current) just move water along the beach. As water flows away from the beach, in the rip, anything or anyone in that water will also be pulled steadily away from shore. This action not only accounts for how unsuspecting bathers and people that never intended to go out further than their waist are pulled into water that is over their heads. It also is responsible for creating the telltale signs that identify a rip current to the trained eye. As waves break and stir up the sandy bottom and create foam, this discolored water and foam are carried away from the shore clearly marking the location of a rip current. While the mechanics of a rip current are easily understood, they still remain the greatest surf zone hazard for anyone enjoying water activities at any beach (80 percent worldwide) and account for 95 percent of all water related rescues in Ocean City. Rip currents are such a wellknown natural hazard that the National Weather Service has identified them as the third leading cause of weather related death. If you question the seriousness of this threat then just take a moment to realize that not all states could even contribute to this statistic because not all states have ocean beaches. So being the third leading cause of weather-related death is quite significant. Already this summer there have been dozens of rip current drowning around the US as well as in the Great Lakes. Yes, even the Great Lakes has rip currents.
To understand how to escape a rip current it is important to understand what causes rip currents. Rip currents occur when water that comes into the beach by wave action and wind needs to make its way back out. Because a sand bar runs the length of Ocean City, water that has come over the sand bar needs to make its way back out. Because wave action continues to bring water over the sandbar, the water has difficulty going out against the incoming flow. Water will take the path of least resistance and find a lower spot along the sandbar to become the natural path for the flow of the water. As more water comes across the sandbar the volume in the trough (water trapped between the beach and sandbar) increases and this additional volume of water causes an increasingly greater volume of water to flow through this path. As water flows along this path it will move sand and creates a deep underwater channel from the shoreline through the sandbar. As waves break near the beach they cause a change in bathometry (the contour of the ocean bottom), which causes a constant change in the sandbar and thus rip current locations and severity are constantly changing. Rips can open up at any given time, sometimes referred to as “Flash Rips.” Just last week I was out swimming and I could see little rips opening up where just minutes before there weren’t any in the area where I was swimming. It was a rough choppy day and the sandbar was being broken away. Another factor that has an influence on the frequency and severity of rip current activity is water depth, which is directly related to changing tides. This is why rip current risk may be reported as moderate at 1 p.m. and become high at 4 p.m. The Ocean City Beach Patrol provides rip current assessments to NOAA three times each day. We have also worked directly with scientists to understand rip currents and how to better forecast and predict them. Rip currents do not pull a person under water as a lot of people believe. It is the deep channel cut into the sandbar that gives the impression that a swimmer maybe pulled down. In reality what is happening is a non-swimmer who intended to remain only in waste deep water is being moved by the rip current into increasingly deeper water channel. Since they cannot swim, they try to stand on the bottom and as they move away from the shore the water becomes over their head and they are See JOSON Page 37

ON GUARD
Joson: Only swim when lifeguards are on duty Continued from Page 34 no longer able to keep their head above water. Therefore, a person watching from the beach may think that what they believe they are seeing is a person being pulled under. In fact, it is a non-swimmer who does not have the ability to keep their head above water. If this occurs while the beach patrol is on duty, the lifeguard will simply assist the person back to safety. However, if this occurs while lifeguards are not on duty, the outcome could be deadly. You may believe that only nonswimmers drown as a result of rip currents while in reality many rip current drowning victims had moderate to good swimming ability. This brings up the question, why would a person who knows how to swim, drown? The answer is simple. Panic, fatigue and lack of ocean awareness all contribute to the outcome. A rip current is very much like a treadmill. As water is flowing away from the beach, a swimmer attempting to swim straight in will make little or no progress against this outgoing
current. Since a rip current may flow faster than an Olympic swimmer (Michael Phelps) can swim, swimming against this current only causes a person in this situation to become fatigued while getting no closer to the beach. Eventually they become so fatigued that they are no longer able to keep their head above water and once they slip below the water’s surface and are no longer able to get air, they become unconscious and only have moments before they become a statistic. In contrast, a swimmer or someone with a flotation device can easily escape the pull of the rip. By nature a typical rip current is not very wide usually 20 yards at most which means that a person who is being pulled out can be out of the rip after a few swimming strokes. Also, once the rip current flows through the cut in the sandbar the pull disperses and the current no longer continues to pull you away from shore. With these facts in mind if you find yourself being pulled away from shore, do not panic, simply swim parallel to shore and once you
no longer feel the pull of the rip, swim back into shore. If you feel you are unable to swim across the rip relax, let it take you out to the sandbar and then swim back to shore. Whatever you do, never abandon a flotation device and always signal the lifeguard if you want their assistance. In most cases they will already be on their way to assist you back to safety. Even our lifeguards will not attempt to swim straight in against a rip current. They use their knowledge of the ocean to swim parallel to the beach until they are out of the rip current and then make their way back into safety with a victim in tow. If you can remember the word RIP then you can remember what to do to save your life, R = Relax and do not panic, I = I need help (wave your arm), P= Swim Parallel to return to safety. For additional information about rip currents and other water safety topics visit our webpage, www.ococean.com/ocbp and follow the safety button. NOAA also has a very informative site to learn more about how they
occur and how to remain safe: http://www.ripcurrents.noaa.gov/ . Last year we attended a Rip Current and Surf Zone conference at the University of Delaware. It was exciting to be able to network with other organizations including NOAA about rip current and surf zone research. NOAA also presented the beach patrol with an award for “Rip Current Awareness and Prevention” at a meeting of the Mayor and City Council last season. We also had Scott Schumann, IT officer from NOAA, come and train our lifeguards this year as we continue our partnership for identifying, predicting and understanding rip-currents. My best advice to you is to only swim when lifeguards are on duty and you can always approach any of our friendly and knowledgeable lifeguards and ask them to talk to you about current conditions and information about rip currents. If you think you would like to make a difference and have an exciting fulfilling position with the beach patrol, ask any of our guards or visit our website at www.ococean.com/ocbp.

By Josh Davis Associate Editor (July 20, 2018) The third annual Chamber Music by the Sea series returns next month with four concerts scheduled in Snow Hill and Berlin, as well as a day of educational activities planned for student musicians. Festival Artistic Director Elena Urioste, a Philadelphia native, attended the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and the Juilliard School in New York City. She has graced the cover of “Symphony” magazine and performed in the United States with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic and Boston Pops, and in Europe with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Wurzburg Philharmonic and Hungary’s Orchestra Dohnányi Budafok, among many others. Last Wednesday she became the first musician to play at the new Berlin library on Harrison Avenue, drawing a capacity crowd in the upstairs meeting and performance space. “It’s such an honor!” Urioste said. “It was actually very last minute. I had been talking to [local music teacher] Katherine Munson about organizing our day of education activities for Aug. 16 and she said, “‘By the way, do you think you could do
an event at the library in August?’” There wasn’t time in August, but Urioste said she would be in Berlin in early July to promote the festival. “She made a poster and then, six days later, all these people showed up,” Urioste said. “I couldn’t believe how full it was!” During the performance, Urioste talked about the violin she’s currently playing – an Alessandro Gagliano model built in Naples, Italy circa 1706. “It’s on loan to me through the Stradivarius Society in Chicago, but more directly by an amazing man who lives in Maryland, near Annapolis, Dr. Charles King,” Urioste said. “He had been loaning me a different instrument from 2003 until 2009. “One day I received a call that he was really pleased with how my career was going and would I be OK if he upgraded the violin to something else?” she continued. “I remember bursting into tears and just being so moved by that.” Additional scheduled performers during Chamber Music by the Sea this year are violinist Bella Hristova, violist Vicki Powell, cellist Guy Johnston, clarinetist Anthony McGill, and pianist Tom Poster. Urioste said Johnston and Poster competed for the 2000 BBC Young MuSee CONCERTS Page 41

Concerts and educational activities planned Continued from Page 38 sicians of the Year honor, which Johnston won. The two men today are frequent collaborators and Poster is returning to Chamber Music by the Sea for the second-consecutive year. She and Hristova “Have been best friends since we met at Curtis [Institute],” Urioste said. “She’s an international soloist and chamber musician who is an Avery Fisher Career Grant winner.” Powell is the principal violist for the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and McGill is the principal clarinetist for the New York Philharmonic and is “recognizable from his appearance at the 2009 Presidential Inauguration,” Urioste said. The Chamber Music by the Sea series debuted in Berlin in 2016 with one concert at Buckingham Presbyterian Church and one house concert in the Isle of Wight. This year two house concerts and two church recitals are planned, as well as a daylong educational event for students at Zenna Wellness Studio in Berlin. Urioste said the program this year was developed around composer Olivier Messiaen’s epic “Quartet for the End of Time.” “It’s an incredible 45-50 minute work for the relatively unorthodox combination of piano, clarinet, violin and cello,” she said. “It’s an absolutely spellbinding work that was composed while Messiaen
was in a prisoner of war camp and the premier was at the camp with three fellow musicians. “It’s a very complex work, but the redemption at the end – it’s really an experience and I hope the audience appreciates this journey,” Urioste continued. “It’s a really important piece of music to me and just in the general context of classical music.” Additional music in the program will include Mozart’s “Clarinet Quintet” and the world premier of a new composition by Berlin native Lila Quillin on Aug. 17. “I met Lila through a mutual family friend, the piano teacher Philip Bogosian who is also an amazing supporter of the festival, and one of the house concerts will be at his home on South Point,” Urioste said. “We met at the very first festival in 2016 and just developed a friendship. “I’ve played two of her works at fundraiser concerts and thought it would be an amazing idea to sort of bridge all these areas of my life by commissioning her to write something for this year’s festival,” she added. Back for the third year, Urioste said she is not afraid to take a few risks with the music selection. “The audience here is so incredibly trusting and gracious and they seem really open to having these creative experiences,” she said. “I don’t know how I

got so lucky as to stumble upon an audience who was so open and appreciative. As an artistic director … I really feel like I hit the jackpot. “Classical music is new to a lot of the people who come to the concerts, yet they have no preconceived notions about what it should be or what they want it to be,” Urioste continued. “They’re not turned off by music that was written after 1850 and a lot of very educated, knowledgeable audiences are like that. “I feel so fortunate that the community here has been so open and trusting to new experiences,” she said. The Worcester County Education Foundation sponsors Chamber Music by the Sea and ticket sales benefit scholarships given through the nonprofit. “The Worcester County Education Foundation is very excited to be hosting the Chamber Music By the Sea Festival
for the second year,” Melissa Reid, foundation representative, said. “The education foundation is committed to supporting such exceptional musician in our local community. The funds raised from the festival will be used to support arts programs in Worcester County Public schools.” The 2018 Chamber Music by the Sea festival schedule: Aug. 14, 7 p.m.: house concert, Snow Hill Aug. 15, 7 p.m.: house concert, Berlin Aug. 16, 11 a.m.: educational activities, Zenna Wellness Studio, Berlin Aug. 17, 7 p.m.: concert at Buckingham Presbyterian Church, Berlin Aug. 19, 7 p.m.: concert at All Hallows Episcopal Church, Snow Hill For more information and tickets, visit www.chambermusicbythesea or www.wced.foundation.

Barb O’Connor is the Pine’eer Craft Club’s Crafter of the Month for July.
Barb O’Connor featured as Crafter of the Month for July (July 20, 2018) The Pine’eer Craft Club announces the Crafter of the Month for July is Barb O’Connor. O’Connor and her husband, John, moved from Long Island to Ocean Pines after she retired from Chase/Chemical Bank. She had always been interested in glass so she found a person who taught the art and began taking lessons. In the meantime, she joined the craft club and started selling at the shop and participating in craft shows.

house here in 1971 and my favorite memory of coming to Ocean Pines was the trip to the Beach Club.” The Ocean Pines Beach Club, which opened in 1971, has long been a resident-favorite among the impressive list of Ocean Pines amenities. Known for its Luau Hawaiian parties in the 70s, the Beach Club will soon transform into the ultimate beach bash with the promise of overflowing “splash-tastic surprises” during the anniversary celebration. Tickets, which include a buffet of food, music, pool use, transportation, parking, giveaways and more, are $25 per person for adults, $12.50 per person for children ages 3-12 and free for children ages 2 and under. Limited on-site ticket sales will be available at the entrance of the beach club parking lot on July 22. Harmon said the event offers something for everyone. “You can get involved in an active game of volleyball or cornhole, or just enjoy the fabulous food and music,” she said. Event-goers are encouraged to dig their toes into the sand or dip their feet into the pool as the sounds of a beach-themed dance party fill the salty air. DJ Wax, a well-known disc jockey in Ocean City, will provide the music for the party. Then, after working up an appetite on the dance floor, attendees will be invited to indulge in a buffet including a seafood boil, pig roast, hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken, and
desserts. “How often do you have a chance to enjoy local seafood, and an authentic pig roast at the same event?” asked Harmon. A cash bar with happy hour prices will be available at the Beach Bash from 2-6 p.m. and at the after-party, which will also take place at the Beach Club, from 6-8 p.m. Limited parking will be available at the Beach Club for Beach Club parking pass holders on July 22. The limited parking will operate as first come first served. Those with Beach Bash event tickets will be permitted to park at the Beach Club on July 22 at no additional cost. Two 18-passenger shuttle buses will travel from the Worcester County Library- Ocean Pines Branch to the Ocean Pines Beach Club from 1:30-8 p.m. on July 22. The shuttle service is at no additional cost for event ticket holders. The Beach Club pool will open at 2 p.m. to Beach Bash event ticket holders only. Those without an event ticket, even swim members, will not be permitted to access the Beach Club Pool on July 22. Beach Club swim members can use their pool passes at one of the other Ocean Pines pools on July 22. The Oasis Pool, Mumford’s Landing Pool, Swim and Racquet Club Pool and the Sports Core Pool will all be open on July 22. The dining area of the Beach Club will be closed for the entire day on
July 22 to non-ticket holders. Only event ticket holders will have access to the dining area on July 22. Event Sponsors are: Peninsula Regional Medical Center (50th Anniversary Diamond Sponsor); Home Instead Senior Car; Marlene Ott, Shamrock Realty Group; O’Hare Real Estate Team; Shamrock Realty Group; T&G Builder; North Beach Realtors; East Coast Construction; Carpets By the Ocean; Vicki Harmon/Bonnie Curro, Coldwell Banker; Park Place Jewelers; Theresa Diefendorf, Coldwell Banker; Harmony Wellness Spa; MD/DC CRS; Coastal Association of Realtors; Quilters By The Sea; Lynn Mauk, Coldwell Banker and the Mark Fritschle Group. The Beach Club property, which dates back to 1971, features a dining area, bar and spacious decking, public swimming pool, lounge chairs and an upper level for private parties, weddings and banquets for Ocean Pines residents and nonresidents. “The Beach Club is not only a great place to enjoy the beach, but it is also a valuable asset to the community and it enhances the value of our real estate investment in our homes,” Harmon said. For more information about the Ocean Pines 50th Anniversary Beach Bash, contact Harmon at VHarmon@cbmove.com or Denise Sawyer, director of marketing and public relations for the Ocean Pines Association, at 410-641-7717 ext. 3006 or dsawyer@oceanpines.org.
Women celebrated in Berlin this yr. (July 20, 2018) The occasion of Berlin’s 150th anniversary prompted a celebration and because, internationally, “The Year of the Woman” is being recognized, it became important to celebrate the women in the Eastern Shore town. Reportedly, women own more than 80 percent of the businesses in Berlin. Events began in June with “The Women in History,” sponsored by The Calvin B. Taylor Museum and celebrating the many women who helped shape the Town of Berlin over the last 150 years. Rozelle Handy was featured by the Calvin B. Taylor House Museum, which will continue to feature historic females and their contributions to Berlin through October. On Thursday, July 19, “The Year
of the Woman” Health Fair sponsored by Atlantic General Hospital was slated to take place at Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services with free health screenings, women’s health education, information on the AGH “Campaign for the Future” and the new John H. “Jack” Burbage, Jr. Regional Cancer Care Center, and cooking demonstrations. On Aug. 10, a celebration of “The Women in Nonprofits” will take place at The Worcester County Arts Council in Berlin from 5-8 p.m. in conjunction with the 2nd Friday arts stroll. There will be an opening reception at the arts council gallery, open to the general public. This will be a professional networking and social event. Refreshments will be offered. On Sept. 14, also in conjunction
with the 2nd Friday arts stroll, “The Women in Business” plan to fly balloons acknowledging every femaleowned business in Berlin. Each owner will be showcased with a photo and their contribution to the overall success of Berlin’s business community. On Oct. 12, “Women in the Arts” will focus on featuring Berlin women artists and their contributions to the local Berlin art scene at the new Berlin Library Branch from 5-8 p.m. An art exhibit by Berlin women artists highlighting their artwork will be on display from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31. The event will also feature music by female artists. A meet and greet reception will be open to the general public and refreshments will be offered.

Millikin book signing at museum
(July 20, 2018) The Ocean City LifeSaving Station Museum will host author Mark Millikin on Friday, July 27, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Millikin will be on sight with his newest book, “The Joy and Heartache of Our 1960’s Music.” In “The Joy and Heartache of Our 1960’s Music,” Millikin recounts how and why music made so many listeners feel joy and heartache during the ‘60s and why those songs still resonate with people today. Millikin also covers the late ‘50s and the early ‘70s music, but ‘60s music is this book’s central theme. From rhythm and blues, rock and roll, gospel, country, doo wop and folk music came “soul,” psychedelic rock, garage rock, bubble gum, folk rock, psychedelic soul and hard rock. Millikin was born in Baltimore in 1951, moved to Randolph, a Boston, Massachusetts suburb, when he was 6
and then to Perry Hall, Maryland when he was 11. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Conservation and Resource Development at the University of Maryland, College Park and a Master of Science degree in Marine Biology at the College of Charleston. Millikin worked for NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service as a fishery biologist and fishery manager for 39 years. He has written two other books, “Jimmie Foxx: The Pride of Sudlersville” and “The Glory of the 1966 Orioles and Baltimore,” and the booklet, “Babe Ruth, Star Pitcher of the 1914 Baltimore Orioles.” For more information regarding Millikin’s book signing, contact the museum at 410-289-4991 or email christine@ocmuseum.org. The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum is located at 813 S. Atlantic Ave. at the southern end of the Boardwalk, across from the Inlet Village.

Authentic Italian dishes, recipes at Paul and Vinny’s
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) Paul and Vinny’s Pizzeria opened for business on June 16 in the Ocean Pines Plaza on Cathell Road. From classic thin crust Neapolitan pizzas to cold subs, the restaurant serves 100-percent authentic, homemade Italian recipes made to order and always fresh. “This is full-blooded Italian, family-run and operated, and our recipes go back 100 years, maybe more,” Coowner Paul DePietro said. “My Nonna taught me how to cook.” DePietro is no stranger to owning a restaurant. He ran Paul’s Pizza in Salisbury for five years. He closed the restaurant in June to focus his attention on the Ocean Pines eatery. The Salisbury shop will be closed until further notice. “We always wanted to be [closer] toward the beach,” DePietro said. “This opportunity presented itself and we [took] it.” Specialty pizzas include the Big Kahuna (made with pineapple, bacon, ham and onions), buffalo chicken, cheesesteak, chicken parmesan, white (no tomato sauce) and the

Crab Delight, which features crab meat, olives, Old Bay, tomato filets and three cheeses. Other menu items include calzones, strombolis, hot and cold subs, chicken wings, onion rings, mozzarella sticks and desserts such as cannolis and zeppolis (Italian donuts). Along with DePietro and his son, Vinny, other members of the family help run the restaurant. “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” DePietro said. Vinny DePietro has been in the
restaurant business with his family since he was 5 years old. “I’ve been doing this for so long and I enjoy doing this,” Vinny said. “So I thought, why not just go ahead and come in with my dad and start our own place together. We’ve got the best pizza in the world.” Paul DePietro said he does not plan to open another restaurant in the near future. “Never say never though,” he added. See TRUE Page 56
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (July 20, 2018) Millennials, age 18-35, are now the largest group of homebuyers, according to the National Association of Realtors. With this in mind, it’s important to know what it is they are looking for in a home. At the top of the millennials’ wish list is a separate laundry room. In fact, 55 percent of respondents in a recent survey from the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) said they wouldn’t buy a new home if the laundry wasn’t separate. New kitchen appliances are also important. It doesn’t require an entire kitchen remodel, but having matching and newer appliances is important. Also important to this younger buyer age group is making your home energy efficient. Millennials say they’re willing to pay up to 3 percent more if they feel a home’s energy efficiency upgrades will help reduce utility costs, according to the NAHB survey. Solar panels are impressive, but more economical improvements include better insulation, insulating ductwork, weather stripping and caulking around doors and windows. The NAHB survey also showed that more than two-thirds of millennials think “smart home” technology is a good investment, but this type of improvement can become outdated quickly. Some of the popular technology items that offer the “wow” factor are Nest thermostats, Sonos speaker systems, and keyless entry such as the Yale brands newer lock that works in tandem with a smartphone and needs no key at all. Another popular feature in a home for the millennial population is the home office. More employers are allowing telecommuting/working from home. Home offices also allow for a tax break for homeowners. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Worcester County Education Foundation establishes fund
(July 20, 2018) A $200,000 fund was recently established by The Worcester County Education Foundation which will enable it to meet the needs of students today and in the future. The fund, held at the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, will assist Worcester County Education Foundation in linking community resources with the educational needs of Worcester County Public School students. The Worcester County Education Foundation hopes to help students prepare for the future by growing digital learning opportunities in and out of the class room. With long term plans to equip every child from K-12 with appropriate digital devices, Worcester County Education Foundation hopes for students to develop digital skills that are necessary for workforce readiness. “I am confident that the establishment of an endowment for the Worcester County Education Foundation through the Community Foundation will have a lasting impact for the students of Worcester County for years to come,” said Superintendent of Schools, Lou Taylor. “The Education Foundation continues to work to support our school system through teacher grants and funding for our digital conversion; this endowment will create another avenue to ensure WCEF support is sustained well into the future.” “We’ve raised 750,000 for the edu-
cation foundation. We have more money to raise, but this is a good start,” said Todd Ferrante, Worcester County Education Foundation chairman. “As the digital world advances every day, it is important for our local students to be able to learn evolving technology,” said Erica Joseph, president of the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. “Through their fund, the Worcester County Education Foundation can benefit from the long term financial management, administrative resources and expertise we offer at Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore.” For more information about the Worcester County Education Foundation, visit www.wced.foundation. As leaders, grant makers and stewards of philanthropy, the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore connects people who care to causes that matter for the common good of the Lower Eastern Shore. It had provided more than $77 million in grants and scholarships to the local community since 1984. Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore collaborates with individuals, families and businesses to match their charitable interests with community needs and strengthens local nonprofits through grants and resources. It is devoted to improving the regional community and believes in the power of philanthropy. For information, contact Victoria Kent, marketing officer, at 410-7429911, vkent@CFES.org.

(July 20, 2018) Delmarva Power is encouraging businesses in its Maryland service area to save money through its Energy Discounts for Growing Enterprises (EDGE) Maryland program, which offers a discount on energy bills to companies that expand or relocate to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Participating businesses can receive a 20-percent discount off the electric delivery portion of their new facility’s energy bill for five years, leading to significant savings. Reducing operating costs for growing businesses gives them a competitive advantage in their industry and helps the region retain existing businesses and attract new business. “We have been delivering safe, affordable and reliable energy to Maryland’s Eastern Shore for generations and are committed to helping local businesses grow and succeed,” said John Allen, Delmarva Power region vice president. “We hope that EDGE Maryland not only helps growing businesses save money, but also supports economic growth in our communities and fosters new job opportunities for Maryland residents.” The program is available to both
new and existing commercial businesses of all sizes and a variety of expansion options are available, including constructing a new building, purchasing or leasing a vacant building, or expanding an existing facility. To qualify, a company must have a new space that is at least 8,000 square feet and hire at least two additional full-time employees. For complete eligibility guidelines and additional information, call 1833-263-3343 or visit delmarva.com/EDGEMD. “This program is a great opportunity for local businesses that have been thinking about taking the next step,” said Dave Ryan, executive director of the Salisbury Wicomico Economic Development Corporation. “Whether it’s expanding an existing facility or building a new location, these types of incentives from community partners like Delmarva Power help both resident and new companies grow and succeed here on the Eastern Shore. They are good for our businesses community and good for our region as a whole.” In addition to EDGE Maryland, Delmarva Power offers a variety of incentives that can help Maryland busiSee DELMARVA Page 59

Commentary
Help turn back newsprint tariffs
Nineteen members of Congress from both sides of the aisle turned out Tuesday to tell the U.S. International Trade Commission that the Commerce Department’s tariffs on Canadian newsprint will do much more harm than good. The group, Roll Call reported this week, consisted of 13 members of the GOP, including Republican Conference Chairwoman Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, five Democrats and one Independent. In a rare show of unity, the speakers correctly argued that “These tariffs, if continued, would do lasting damage” to local newspapers and the communities they serve. The tariffs, which were proposed on the basis of one complaint by a hedge fund-owned paper mill in Washington (Rodgers’ own state), are temporary at this point, but the Commerce Department wants to raise them higher and make them permanent. In making their argument for a complete reversal of this import tax, the coalition of lawmakers missed one especially critical point when they said communities would also suffer the consequences. They could have and should have drawn from a recent study by Notre Dame’s College of Business that examined 1,266 counties with newspapers between 1996-2015 and what happened in the counties that lost them. The most striking finding of Financing Dies in Darkness? The Impact of Newspaper Closures on Public Finance was that a significant increase in local governments’ cost of borrowing occurred after the local paper closed. The study concluded, “The loss of monitoring that results from newspaper closures is associated with increased government inefficiencies, including higher likelihoods of costly advance refundings and negotiated issues, and higher government wages, employees, and tax revenues.” We’re not suggesting that the people in our governments aren’t good at what they do, but newspapers do remind elected officials that they’re relaying pertinent information about their decisions and activities to the public. That is why we’re here and why boosting the cost of newsprint to take care of one company, when other American paper mills also oppose the tariffs, is a disservice to our communities.

No more simple life
By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher No matter what anyone says, our technological advances have not made life easier. On the contrary, they have complicated things beyond reason. For instance, when Ali Baba and his Forty Thieves of Arabian folklore wanted to enter the secret cave, the password was “Open sesame.” If he said that today, the cave would reply, “Please reset your password. Avoid recognizeable words. Use upper and lower case letters, punctuation and two or more numbers.” Consequently, were Mr. Baba to arrive at the cave door now, he would find himself saying two things: 1. “Does anyone remember the password?” 2. “How do you say, ‘X47Ghr#1!’?” Discounting scientific marvels such as Billy the Singing Bass of years past, this techno stuff has made things more difficult. Consider, for example, the simple matter of buying a pair of shoe laces. In earlier times, when you needed a pair of shoe laces, you would go to — surprise! — a shoe store. You could walk in and there they would be, right next to, yes, the shoes. Now, however, shoe stores don’t carry shoe laces. “What do you mean no shoe laces?” I asked during my pursuit of a replacement pair for my lace-ups. “This is a shoe store, right?” “Yes,” she replied, “but we just sell shoes. Replacement laces would be an accessory. You might try …” I had already been to four general merchandise stores, whose merchandise wasn’t all that general. “Excuse me, but do you carry shoe laces?” “Ha-ha-ha-ha!” Finally, I landed at the sort of shoe store that stocks whatever no one else could sell.
“Why, yes, the shoe laces are right there.” Yep, six whole pairs of them — two plaids, two heart patterns, one Mickey Mouse and one pair that were either former tow ropes or were for people who wear shoes the size of Volkswagens. “You should try online,” she suggested. Ah yes, online, where you need umpteen passwords to protect you from thieves, outlaws and, apparently, political snoopers. I am so well protected that even I don’t know how to get into my various locations, and have to use a password manager to “organize your passwords for easy application” and which requires its own password that has to be written down elsewhere because it looks like sankrit and you’ll never remember it. I opened my password manager, went online, signed in and … “We’re sorry, please update your payment information.” Did that twice, once with a typo and once without, and then went to the link that promised “2,000 shoe laces to choose from.” That included exactly what I needed for $9.99 plus $4.99 shipping. Personally, I think a $15 pair of shoelaces ought to be able to make change or speak passable Spanish or something. I ordered them anyway and went to my email for confirmation. And there it was, my confirmation email: “The item you ordered is temporarily out of stock. Make another selection or re-order in 10 days.” “BzglQw*4#!” I shouted (actually, it was something much less refined). But interestingly, my voice recognition software happened to be running and everything opened at once — online, internal, hidden, protected and otherwise. I need to remember that. It could simplify everything.

I was taken—conscious—by a highly-capable EMT staff from 130th Street station to the heart center at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Md. and had a defibrillator placed in my chest on Friday. I returned back in OC on 7/7, in reasonably fine condition, ready and able to start vacation as planned — almost. Thanks to God and to OC for having dune buggies, AEDs on each, and a skilled OCBP and EMT staff. I’ll remember when next I pay my tax bill what I got in return — my life saved. Larry Buhl Ocean City
Beach Patrol saved my life
Editor, On the 4th of July, the OCBP saved my life. A simple sentence that cannot clearly express the skill, dedication, training and personal focus of the staff who did it, and based on that experience, to the 200+ others that make up an amazing contingent of people employed in OC, Md. I had the chance to thank them in person, and can only say that the array of strong, healthy, attuned, dedicated men and women who sat in front of me was awe-inspiring. The background: I went to the beach early in the morning on July 4th to grab a spot with a few umbrellas and chairs. On the way back to cross the dune at 128th Street, I started a conversation about beach setup with a stranger. Soon thereafter I dropped to the sand. My heart!! Two of the OC beach patrol by the absolutely luckiest circumstance were driving right there on an equipped dune buggy when I went down and the stranger called for help. They weren’t even on duty yet at 9:15 a.m. CPR from

Seafood industry joins OC in wind farm fight Continued from Page 1 was joined by Sonny Gwin and Wes Townsend of the Mid-Atlantic Fish Council for Maryland, and Meghan Lapp, of the Rhode Island seafood company, Seafreeze. Lapp told the council that 3.6 million acres of ocean between Maine and North Carolina have been slated for offshore wind development. The irony, she said, is that the federal government in 1976 established a 200mile economic zone off the country’s coast to prevent foreign fleets from depleting fish stocks in U.S. waters. “Now we have these same fishing grounds being sold right out from under us to the Norwegian [or] Danish government, [as well as] French, Italian, [or] Spanish investors,” she said. Additionally, Lapp said navigation could be more difficult and, possibly, dangerous near turbines. Rotating turbine blades could cause malfunctions with marine navigation, communications, airborne radar, sonar and subsurface acoustical monitoring systems, Lapp said. “False radar signals make navigating through lots of turbines difficult …
especially at night or in bad weather,” she said. “It’s going to be impractical and not safe because many wind farms [are being proposed] close to major Meghan Lapp shipping lanes,” she said. “When you have [oil] tankers … they don’t stop or turn easily.” Wind farm areas will also limit critical fishery surveys conducted by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Lapp said. “That should seriously concern anybody who has any connection to commercial or recreational fisheries,” she said. “If we don’t have a quota, if we don’t have management, we can’t really go fishing. Commercial fisheries cannot relocate, so we don’t have a lot of legal options,” she said. “If they put wind farms on open areas we can’t necessarily legally move, so that means we’re done.” Lapp also said the Coast Guard has warned that wind turbines can result in a loss of HF radars that are used for search and rescue missions at sea. Topper said proposed wind farms

could also affect horseshoe crabs, whose blue blood is highly valued for medical applications. In 2001 the National Marine Fisheries Service established a Horseshoe Crab sanctuary in federal waters off the mouth of the Delaware Bay “We supply the blood for every hospital in this country, Europe and Asia, and also the military,” he said. “If they put the wind farm in the sanctuary area, we don’t have any idea what it’s going to do to the horseshoe crabs.” Lapp also questioned the introduction of artificial reefs to foster marine life, noting recent studies concluded that sandy, or smooth bottom habitats, provide more biologically productive sediment sites. “You will reduce overall biological composition of an area and your species composition will also probably decrease,” she said. “Putting in artificial reefs, according to science, is not a good thing in our region.” Councilman John Gehrig, while offering to support the group’s efforts, asked if they were working to educate the recreational fishing industry about the concerns discussed. “They’re being persuaded this wind farm is going to be good for them,” he said. “The wind companies are trying to fracture everything and they’re dishing out dollar bills.” Topper said the effort to inform both commercial and recreational
fishermen continues. “Let’s put a halt to this for the next five years,” he said. “Let’s study … what the effects are going to be on whales, turtles and fish.” Gwin said more research is needed before embracing offshore wind farms for clean energy production. “It’s up to our representatives and the people to find the truth behind these things, so they don’t put them out there and destroy the environment for something they say is going to help the environment,” he said. In hopes of encouraging more detailed analysis about the impact of offshore wind turbines Lapp said the commercial fishing industry has formed the Responsible Offshore Development Alliance “We want to develop public / private partnerships [and] … start working on interagency coordination,” she said. “We have the oldest industry in the U.S. potentially going to be obliterated and everything is continuing along as planned.” Mayor Rick Meehan said the wind farm permitting process is far from over, with numerous approvals yet to be met. “I think each and every time we need to be present [and] maybe a few more people will open their eyes to the big picture here,” he said. “It’s a bigger issue than everybody has really imagined it to be.”

Resh said two fire trucks and three police units arrived at the scene to bring the situation under control. Much to his dismay, Resh couldn’t speak with the couple before they
went on their way. “Eastbound traffic opened back up just before 3 p.m. and westbound opened a half hour later as crews worked to clear the scene and ensure the safety of the roadway,” Richard said. Speaking on Wednesday, Resh said scorch marks are still visible in the roadway days later. “You can see where the burn marks are on the bridge,” he said. “It’s right before you get to the hump in the bridge.”

Only minor injuries reported after boat fire Victims rescued by crew of another vessel after leaping overboard to escape flames
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 20, 2018) When a fire erupted on a boat about 30 miles off Assateague Island National Seashore last Friday, its four occupants, three men and one woman, had to go overboard and wait before being picked up by another vessel in the area. Two of the four on board the unidentified vessel were reported to have suffered minor burn injuries, but declined medical treatment, according to Public Affairs Specialist First Class Andy Kendrick of the U.S. Coast Guard. No other injuries were reported. The fire victims’ rescuer was Frank Hertsch, owner of the Sea Hunt, who was out fishing during the Ocean City Tuna Tournament, when he spotted smoke. “We were around the Jackspot — we took a late day on Friday and were trying out new gear and didn’t go out too far,” he said. “We saw smoke on the horizon and knew it was out of place, and within a minute the smoke was up a couple of hundred feet in the air.” According to Hertsch, another
crewmember got out the binoculars to Coast Guard asking if we had a specific see what was going on and, from miles person on board, which we had, since away, spotted the flames. someone activated a spot beacon and “We pulled everything in and went it identified him.” for it,” he said. “We did what anyone Kendrick said one of the unidentielse would do.” fied occupants of the When they got vessel activated a ‘We did what anyone there, they found the spot beacon, a deboat engulfed in vice that sends text else would do.’ flames, he said. message distress Frank Hertsch Hertsch said he calls to agencies that recalled thinking if can receive them, someone was still on the boat they and that message was forwarded to the were in serious danger.

Finally, a third message came in that the boaters had been rescued by another vessel. Kendrick said the derelict vessel is likely still out on or underneath the water, as the Coast Guard notified the vessel’s owner and broadcasted warnings about the burnt-out boat or its potential to be lurking just beneath the waves. Kendrick said the Coast Guard would continue to monitor the area, to ensure the wreck doesn’t pollute the waterways with engine fluids.
Teen nets 10 years in car assault Continued from Page 1 ment, Ambrosino will serve three years of active probation. Arkad Espinal, who was in the passenger’s seat of Ambrosino’s car at the time of the incident, pleaded guilty to felony possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, had a 45-day sentence suspended and was ordered to serve 18 months of supervised probation in April.
The incident occurred during the so-called “H2Oi weekend” in 2017, when four police officers approached Ambrosino’s vehicle, which was parked in a lot behind the 33rd Street shopping center. Two officers approached the vehicle from opposite sides, while the other two officers remained at the rear of the car. According to charging documents, a sheriff’s deputy saw Ambrosino with a bag of suspected marijuana on his lap. When confronted, he and his passenger attempted to hide the contraband and ignored orders to open the window. Instead, Ambrosino put his 2010 Chevrolet Malibu into reverse and accelerated, pinning an officer against another car. He then shifted into drive and accelerated again. Ocean City Police Pfc. Jeff Heiser was in the car’s path and fired his weapon at the car. The car struck him, and he was thrown onto the roof of the
Malibu as it accelerated towards 34th Street. Heiser reportedly rolled onto the hood of another car before it left the parking lot. According to the report, another officer also fired at the car. Ambrosino drove to 41st Street bayside, but found it was a dead end. Espinal exited the car and ran, but was soon caught by police. Ambrosino proved harder to catch, as he also exited the vehicle and then jumped into the Isle of Wight Bay and began swimming away, according to police. Natural Resources Police and State Police helicopter Trooper 4 were called in to assist, with the latter using night vision goggles to locate Ambrosino about 400 feet offshore. He was arrested after being brought onboard a patrol boat. Both officers were treated at Atlantic General Hospital for minor injuries and released.

SD High volunteer coach accused of improper contact Allegedly had an affair with 15 year-old student athlete
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) Jeffrey Lee Purnell Jr., 22, of Berlin was arrested last Monday for felony third-degree sexual offense and misdemeanor perverted practice after allegedly having inappropriate sexual contact with a 15-year-old high school student on March 20. Police were alerted to the alleged incident in early April after a school resource officer at Stephen Decatur High School was notified about a laptop containing child pornography. The 15-year-old student’s mother had contacted school officials after becoming suspicious that Purnell had exchanged inappropriate images and engaged in sexual activity with her daughter. The parent turned her daughter’s laptop over to authorities, who uncovered several pictures and videos of the minor engaged in autoerotic activity, as well as other videos of a male engaged in similar activity shot from the waist down. Purnell, who was a volunteer track coach was banned from school grounds based on the accusation. On May 18, police questioned the minor, who initially denied having inappropriate contact with Purnell. After being confronted with the explicit material on the laptop, the student admitted having sex with Purnell in an empty classroom on March 20 at approximately 3:45 p.m. Purnell was released on $20,000 bond and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Aug. 3 in Worcester County District Court in Snow Hill.

Police were reportedly contacted by Hoffman’s sister, who said she was assaulted by her sibling as they drove to an uptown condominium. The sister said she was driving near 142nd Street when Hoffmann, who was seated in back, struck her twice in the
head and dug her nails into her right bicep. The woman said after stopping the vehicle and getting out of the car, she held the door shut to restrain Hoffmann, who then reportedly proceeded to lock the doors climb into the driver’s seat and speed away. Police quickly located the car and saw Hoffmann driving recklessly and swerving between lanes. According to the police report, after being stopped Hoffmann was unable to complete field sobriety tests and subsequently registered a .21 blood alcohol content.

Rape accusation of beating, robbery victim without merit By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) After leveling rape accusations against a man who was severely beaten and robbed in midtown last month, Nicole Lynn Yake, 19, of Parkesburg, Pennsylvania was arrested last week for allegedly aiding three friends accused in the attack. Police said the vicNicole Yake tim, who was found overnight on June 12 lying on 81st Street bleeding from a large facial cut, claimed three men attacked and robbed him before fleeing with a woman in a dark-colored van. Also arrested for the attack were Patrick John Nolan, 21, and Jason Guzman, 17, both of Parkesburg, Pennsylvania. Both men face first-degree assault charges, with Nolan also charged with felony robbery. Nolan and Guzman had preliminary hearings scheduled today in Ocean City District Court. An unidentified juvenile was not charged as an adult in the incident. In addition to felony robbery, Yake has also been charged with giving false statements to police and hindering an investigation. The victim told police he had been
talking to the group for about a half hour preceding the attack, during which he was relieved of an expensive belt, and had three gold chains valued at nearly $500 ripped from his neck. See ASSAULT Page 75

Assault claim determined to be cover for crime Continued from Page 72 The victim was taken to Atlantic General Hospital for treatment of a broken nose, a concussion, severe eye bruising and a head laceration that required six staples. Police found gold chain links and a pair of glasses with bloodstains at the scene and, while reviewing surveillance footage from an adjacent hotel, saw a vehicle matching the suspects’ park near the fight scene. According to the police report, Nolan exited the vehicle, took out a phone, and appeared to be searching on the ground for a lost item. He sprinted away after noticing law enforcement nearby but was eventually detained around 77th Street and the beach.
Police said when Yake was initially questioned, she claimed the victim raped her, which motivated Guzman and Nolan’s assault. Police said Yake at first stated the rape occurred in a bathroom during a party, but then altered the details and said the victim threw her on a bed and choked her in front of those assembled, including Guzman and Nolan. Yake also admitted to recording the robbery and assault on her cell phone. Police later extracted the video, which allegedly shows Guzman and Nolan stomping repeatedly on the victim’s head, before stopping to remove items from his person, and then resuming the physical assault. Police said during the attack Yake

could be heard laughing in the background. During a subsequent interview that same day, police said Yake revised her rape accusation to sexual harassment, before reportedly admitting she was not assaulted at all. When questioned about the earlier false accusations, police said Yake claimed to have been intoxicated. Police allege Yake made the false rape accusation to hinder the robbery investigation and also drove the men back to the scene to search for a lost item. An arrest warrant was issued for Yake on June 18 and served on July 12, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for August 9 in Ocean City District Court.

WORLD WAR II
Treaty signed between Bolivia, Paraguay
By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (July 20, 2018) This week, 80 years ago, three years after the cease fire between Bolivia and Paraguay, a peace treaty was signed, thus ending the bloody conflict between the two countries. This war, which lasted three years, from 1932-1935, was the largest military confrontation in South America in the 20th century. Like all other wars, the reason behind the conflict between Bolivia and Paraguay was economical. In 1921, Standard Oil had opened its Bolivian branch and came to own a sizable area — about 15 million acres. Part of Standard Oil’s land holdings was obtained from William Braden, the Chile-based Wall Street mining magnate who had earlier purchased large tracts of oil-rich Bolivian lands from Chilean investors. In the 1930s, with such a large interest, Braden’s son worked to sabotage President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “Good Neighbor Policy” on behalf of the Anglo-American financial interests that his family represented. Following its oil discoveries, Standard Oil encouraged the Bolivians to pursue an Atlantic outlet, which the oil company also needed in order to export crude oil. In competition with Standard Oil, the Royal Dutch Shell Oil

The 146km-long railway from the Paraguay river to the heart of the Chaco was vital for the Paraguayan army, especially during the battle of Boquerón.
Company maneuvered to prevent Standard Oil from exporting via Argentina. So the Bolivians had no other choice but to expand their territory eastward into the Chaco region. This would give Bolivia access to the Río de la Plata, and thence to the South Atlantic. In 1932, Bolivia attempted to break out of its landlocked situation and gain access to the Atlantic Ocean through the capture of the Paraguay River region. Through that route lay the Chaco Boreal, an area of 100,000 square miles, which the Bolivians thought had large oil reserves. Paraguay, in a move instigated by national unity, heavily reinforced their borders and fought viciously to defend itself against Bolivia’s assault. The resultant war was disastrous for both sides. Bolivia and Paraguay lost more
than 100,000 soldiers, not counting the civilian dead. In 1935, Paraguay claimed victory over Bolivia, and eventually took control of the Chaco Boreal region. In 1932, Bolivia seemed to enjoy an overwhelming military advantage over Paraguay. It had a population of just under three million to Paraguay’s population of less than a million. Bolivia’s army was well-trained, and was led by German Gen. Hans von Kundt, a controversial figure who believed in frontal assaults. It had an ample supply of arms purchased by loans from American banks. But the morale of Bolivia’s army of Indian conscripts was low. The Paraguayans on the other hand were better fitted to fight in the lowland swamps and jungles of the Chaco Boreal region, in which many Bolivians died of disease and snakebite as well as
gunfire. When full-scale hostilities commenced in June 1932, both countries immediately faced daunting logistical difficulties. The swamps and forests, together with the lack of roads, the harsh climate, and the vast distances involved, made assembling and moving troops extremely difficult. Soldiers on both sides were ravaged by disease. They were ill-fed, and chronically short of materiel. Yet the belligerents were determined to fight a proper, modern war, in so far as their means would allow. Paraguay, however, relied for the most part on her cadre of brilliant native officers for her tactical and strategic planning, while Bolivia leaned heavily on the foreigners. Many of Paraguay’s unit commanders had See WORLD WAR II Page 80

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 78 gained combat experience as volunteers with the French army in World War I. They were quick to note the mistakes of their supposedly more advanced, more civilized European counterparts and made use of the experience gained in the conflict that awaited them in their homeland. Paraguay’s army commander, Colonel, later General, and then Marshal, José Félix Estigarribia, epitomized the brilliance and professionalism of this largely amateur army. He was, by far, the greatest soldier of the war. He capitalized on the local Guarani people’s knowledge of the forest and on their independence born out of agrarian Paraguayan life. He husbanded his meager resources, avoiding the suicidal assaults on entrenched positions that characterized the fighting on Europe’s Western Front in World War I. But he also mounted skillful attacks
when conditions were favorable and frequently encircled and destroyed Bolivian forces that far outnumbered his own. Unlike his Bolivian counterparts, he was on close terms with the civilian government and the elected president, Eusebio Ayala, throughout the war and he also recognized his duty to listen to, and obey, civilian wishes. The Chaco War is also important, historically, as the first instance of large scale aerial warfare to take place in the Americas. Both sides made use of obsolete single-engine biplane bombers, despite an international arms embargo imposed by the League of Nations. Bolivia, in particular, went to great lengths in trying to import a small number of advanced twin-engine bombers disguised as civil transports —namely the American Curtiss C-30 Condor. These planes were eventually halted in Peru during deliveries. German Junkers Ju-86 bombers were delivered
JULY 20, 2018
to Bolivia. The deployment of modern weapons by both countries, such as fighters, bombers, small tanks, howitzers and mountain guns, however small in quantity, caused enormous strains on both countries, particularly Bolivia. Curiously, Paraguay’s Frenchtrained army had mastered the German tactics that Gen. Kundt disdained. The Paraguayan military leader in charge of the war, Gen. Estigarribia, always bypassed strong points and infiltrated enemy lines, often encircling his opponents and cutting their supplies. These tactics were so successful that Paraguay held more than 30,000 POWs by the war’s end, against 3,000 held by Bolivia. Some White Russians who were experts in field fortifications ended up in Paraguay after the Russian Civil War of 1918-1922. Their innovative field fortifications design enabled them to create entrenched “islands” armed with mortars, machine guns,

and surrounded by barbed wire, and mine fields. These islands shared interlocking fields of fire designed so that infiltrators would find themselves channeled into killing grounds. Thousands of Bolivian soldiers died in senseless frontal attacks trying to take these little forts. In Bolivia, the German Nazi networks had already established themselves. Capt. Ernst Röhm, later an organizer and commander of the Nazi SA, was acting as a “special adviser” to the Bolivian Army in 1925. German General Staff Member Gen. von Kundt, who had arrived in the country in 1911, became the head of the Bolivian Army during part of the Chaco War, and repeatedly led his brave troops to defeat because of his strategic incompetence. He was no match for Paraguayan Gen. Estigarribia, the French-trained strategist who used mobility and guerrilla tactics, which his officers borrowed from the Boer War of 1899-1903, to great effect. In the end, Paraguay won almost all the battles of the Chaco War, often by encircling numerically and materially superior Bolivian units. Superior leadership and better familiarity with the terrain proved decisive. Paraguay’s army was, in fact, limited only by her relative poverty and consequent lack of materiel. After 1932, almost all her trucks, artillery, machine guns, and small arms were obtained from captured Bolivian stocks. By 1935, Paraguay had conquered all of the disputed territory in the Gran Chaco. On June 14, 1935, a commission of neutral nations — Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and the United States — declared an armistice. A definite settlement was finally reached, which led eventually to the signing of the Chaco Peace Treaty, in Buenos Aires, on July 21, 1938. Bolivia lost Chaco to Paraguay but retained the petroleum fields, which Paraguay had failed to reach. In return, Paraguay surrendered only mountain foothills that were geographically and historically Bolivian. Both countries suffered heavy losses in the war.In Bolivia alone, an estimated 57,000 people were killed and 35,000 wounded or captured, out of a population of just under three million. Paraguay lost close to 45,000 dead. These losses were enormous for such small countries. To put things in perspective, Paraguay’s losses alone would be equivalent to the United States losing 15 million dead in a war of three years. Lessons learned from the Chaco War were not lost. Small countries with competent civilian and military leadership, and well led, and trained, armies equipped with the right weapons were able to defeat much larger military forces. The Winter War of 1939 between Finland and the Soviet Union, Israel’s War of Independence in 1948, and the Six Day War in 1967, are reminders of what could happen to clumsy giants.

Sam Thorpe caught the largest tuna of the 31st annual Ocean City Tuna Tournament – a 144-pound bluefin. Thorpe and his Playmate teammates, pictured at the Ocean City Fishing Center in West Ocean City last Friday, won $328,960.
More than $857K paid out during OC Tuna Tournament
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 20, 2018) The 2018 Ocean City Tuna Tournament, held last weekend, saw a big jump in participation and prize money awarded compared to the 2017 competition. “We had a lot of new participants this year – a good dozen – and a lot more smaller boats entered,” Jennifer Blunt, tournament director, said. “The economy is better, too. The money has always been there even with not a huge amount of boats. We continue to have these big jackpots.” In 2017, 88 boats entered into the competition and more than $785,000 was distributed to the winners. This year, for the 31st annual tournament, 104 boats registered and over $857,600 was paid out. “It’s a nice increase,” Blunt said. Overall, the three-day tournament went very well. “It was the smoothest it’s been in a long time,” Blunt said. “It was definitely a very smooth, good tournaSee NUMBER Page 82

Fourteen-year-old Calvin Kontos, left, hooked two 54-pound yellowfin tuna while fishing on Let It Ride last Friday. He received $1,500 in the Junior Angler Division.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 20, 2018) More than 400 junior anglers participated in the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 13th annual Kid’s Classic in 2017 and just as many are expected to compete in this year’s event. “We don’t know exactly how many junior anglers will be participating, but we are hoping for 25-plus more than last year,” Amanda Shick, the Ocean City Marlin Club’s operations manager/event coordinator, said. “Many of the kids participate year after year. I believe the children enjoy the camaraderie, spending a day (or two) fishing with their friends/families [and] spending quality time together on the water.” The 2017 tournament was a success, with the most participation to date. Young anglers fished from 68 boats. Those without access to a boat had the opportunity to fish from areas including the surf, Route 50 Bridge and fishing piers in Ocean City and on Assateague Island. A few young anglers fished from shore. They all reeled in an assortment of fish. Registration for the tournament, a partnership with Wish-A-Fish Foundation, will begin today, Friday, at 6:30 p.m. at the Marlin Club on Golf Course Road in West Ocean City. A captains’ meeting will follow at 7:30 p.m. The 14th annual tournament is open to anglers 19 and younger. The cost is $200 per boat, with an unlimited number of anglers. A head boat will be available for a cost of $25 per angler. Those who don’t have access to a boat can participate for $25 and fish from areas including the surf, Route 50 Bridge, Ocean City fishing pier and Assateague Island. The tournament is slated for Saturday and Sunday with participants having the option to fish one or both days in the bay or ocean. Weigh-ins will take place Saturday from 3-6:30 p.m. and Sunday, 3-6 p.m. at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City. All participants will receive an award. There are additional first-, second- and third-place prizes for most billfish released and heaviest fish including bluefish, bonita, dolphin, flounder, mackerel, rockfish, sea bass, tog, tuna, wahoo and “unusual catch.” Stringer weight includes five fish in a bucket per angler per day for croaker and spot.

No big eye tuna were caught this year and Blunt said she wasn’t surprised. “We felt it was going to be a yellowfin stringer this year,” she added. Sam Thorpe landed the largest tuna of the tournament – a 144pound bluefin – on the final day. The Playmate was waiting at the Ocean City Fishing Center scale for about an hour to weigh the fish as soon as it opened at 4 p.m. Thorpe and his Playmate team-

It costs $5,000 to enter and 44 of the 104 tournament boats registered for the calcutta. Mark Hutchison landed a 73pound yellowfin to finish in second place. Hutchison and his Magic Moment teammates took home $45,240. Two 65-pound yellowfins tied for third place. Mike Losi caught his aboard Fin Chaser, while Dustin Shane reeled in his on Panty Snatcher. Losi’s fish was worth $8,727 because of participation in added entrylevel calcuttas, and Shane’s fish brought in $1,902.50. Goin’ In Deep earned first place in the Heaviest Stringer Weight Division, with a total of 325 pounds. The team received a check for $237,438. A large portion of that money – $117,000 – came from the Level G Heaviest Stringer Jackpot. Fifty-two out of 104 boats registered for the calcutta. The Marli crew came in second place with a stringer weight of 314 pounds. The group was presented $83,677. No Quarter team’s total was 301 pounds, good for third place and $46,150.

Wish-A-Fish Foundation’s mission is: “We can’t cure an illness, make a disability vanish, or remove the daily stress a family with special needs chil-

dren has to endure. We just try to make one day a little better for the whole family by taking them out on the water for some fun and fishing. The smiles and excitement on the children’s faces when they catch their first fish (and their second, and their third...) is a wonderful experience and a memory that will last for years.” Last year, a little over 100 children/young adults and their families participated. Including parents, guardians and volunteers, more than 200 went out on the five boats in 2017. “[It was] our most attended WishA-Fish event since its start,” Frank Goodhart, coordinator of Wish-A-Fish Kid’s Classic fishing, said following the tournament.
As of earlier this week, about 100 anglers, which includes special needs children, siblings and their friends, as well as those who are underprivileged/disadvantaged and in foster care, were signed up, Goodhart said. “A lot of them do it every year,” he said. “We have a lot of returners coming back.” Only a handful of participants are new to the tournament this year. The rest are Classic veterans. All first-time participants will receive a rod and reel combo. Those who have participated before will take home a gift from Wish-A-Fish. “It’s a good event. They have a lot of fun,” Goodhart said. “The camaraderie is the biggest thing.”
PAGE 83
All will be presented a goodie bag and participation medal. Prizes will be awarded to those who catch the most, smallest and biggest fish on each boat. “When they catch fish, you should see how their faces light up,” Goodhart said. “They get very excited.” A cookout will take place Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at the clubhouse for WishA-Fish participants. Wish-A-Fish received more than $2,500 through corporate sponsors, service organizations, private donors and tournament participant donations from last year’s event. The Classic has raised more than $60,000 for the foundation over the last 13 years. For more information, call 410-2131613 or visit www.ocmarlinclub.com.

Huk Big Fish Classic to take place July 27-29 Teams can choose between two 32-hour slots to fish during fifth annual event
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 20, 2018) The fifth annual Huk Big Fish Classic kicks off with final registration, Thursday, July 26, followed by fishing all weekend, July 27-29. “We’re set to have a good one. It should be exciting,” Brian Roberts, codirector of the tournament, said. “It’s a lot of people’s favorite tournament.” If the weather is favorable, Roberts said the projected purse could reach $500,000. The goal is to register at least 75 boats this year. Several teams have already registered for the competition. The final day to sign up is Thursday, July 26 from 4-8 p.m. at M.R. Ducks on Talbot Street, bayside. A captain’s meeting will follow. The cost to enter the tournament is $800 per boat. Teams can choose between two 32hour slots: 7 a.m. Friday, July, 27 to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 28, or 7 a.m. Saturday, July 28 to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 29. Crews can fish the entire 32 hours or come back to the dock and head out offshore again after a break with the
same or different anglers. There are several added entry-level divisions, or wagering pools, which range in cost from $250 to $1,500, and include billfish, tuna, meatfish (dolphin, wahoo and shark) and small boat (38 feet and under). There is also a billfish release division. “Talbot Street Stringer” calcutta has three levels to enter this year, which cost $500 and $1,000. New this year is the Heaviest Stringer Winner Take All, which costs $1,000 to enter. Teams can select any four fish they catch in 32 hours for a combined total weight. A Heaviest Swordfish Winner Take All calcutta has also been added. The cost is $500 to enter. Boats can depart from any port between New Jersey and Virginia. Teams can fish up to 125 nautical miles from the Ocean City sea buoy. All fish must be weighed at the Talbot Street Pier. Tournament weigh-ins will take place from 4-9 p.m., Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28. The scale, located between M.R. Ducks and the Angler in downtown Ocean City, will be open from 4-8 p.m. Sunday, July 29. Weigh-ins are free and open to the public. “I think it’s going to be an amazing weigh-in,” Roberts said. “There are a lot of fish around. Fishing has been
fantastic – it’s been one of the best for tuna fishing and blue marlin.” There will also be live music each evening and vendors selling artwork, clothing and event merchandise. Huk Performance and Sirius Radio will be on hand as will Imperium Outfitters, showcasing a 3D printer that makes fishing lures. The Captain Morgan pirate mascot will also make an appearance. The weigh-ins will be streamed live this year with sound. “I think it will be an amazing perspective for people if they can’t get to the scale,” Roberts said. “It’s like you’re right there up front.” Talbot Street Pier is the original
spot where some of the first fish caught off the coast of Ocean City were weighed. Nearly 100 years ago, the pier in downtown Ocean City was bustling with activity as anglers took their daily catches there. Organizers of the Big Fish Classic wanted to bring the action, and big fish, back to the pier. The 2017 tournament was originally scheduled to take place in July but it was postponed because of poor weather conditions. Forty boats were entered into the 2017 Classic, held Sept. 8-10, and $227,990 was distributed to the winners. For more information, visit www.bigfishclassic.com.
Three Berlin All-Star teams win district championships
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The Berlin Little League All Stars continue their winning streak, with three teams taking home district championships. One of them has already captured a state title, while two others are chasing Maryland championships. 11-12 League The 11-12 team won the district title on Friday, July 13, in Fruitland, topping Fruitland, 4-3. “We feel really good,” Head Coach Cameron McDonough said. “Fruitland was a really good team. It was a rewarding victory.” The team is scheduled to play its first game of the state tournament this Saturday in Hagerstown against South Maryland at 1 p.m. “I think we’re poised to make a run through the state tournament,” McDonough said. Junior Softball League The Junior League team claimed the state championship title against Elkton in Waldorf, on Monday, July 9, winning 9-3. The squad will now compete in the
regional competition in Connecticut beginning today, Friday. The opening ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. Game times had not been set as of earlier this week. “The girls are excited and ready to play,” Head Coach Katie Griffin said. “We also want to thank the community for their support. The girls have been working hard on fundraising.” Donations can still be made to the Berlin Little League to offset the cost of sending the players to Connecticut. Travel, food and hotel fees are estimated to cost roughly $1,000 per player. Contact Griffin about donations at 443-513-0139. “We want to make sure no player or family is left behind,” Griffin said. “We have fundraised about $8,000, but our goal is $10,000 before we leave so we can cover families’ hotel costs.” Minor Softball League The Minor Softball League team took home the district championship on Wednesday, July 11, defeating Delmar in Berlin, 9-1. The team began their state tournament run last Saturday in Waldorf. See BERLIN Page 85

Parade, ceremony for World Series teams in OC, Mon.
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The 12th annual United States Specialty Sports Association’s (USSSA) Eastern World Series will kick off the last leg of the three-week tournament with a parade and ceremony on the Caroline Street Stage, Monday, July 23. Teams will begin lining up for the parade around 3:30 p.m., and it will start at 4 p.m. Players and coaches will walk around the Jolly Roger Amusements at the pier and continue to the Caroline Street stage. The teams will dress in costumes matching this year’s theme: “Beach Luau.” DJ Wookie from OC 104 will provide music during the event. Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan and Wicomico County Executive Bob Culbert will preside as the parade’s grand marshals. During the first week, 10 and under and 12 and under teams competed. The second week hosted games for 14 and under competitors. The July 2328 tournament includes 16 and under and 18 and under divisions. This year’s Eastern Nationals began July 11 and will run until July 28. The event draws nearly 370 girls’ softball teams from 16 states to the region over three weeks. States represented include Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and West Virginia. “Many participants turn the tournament into a vacation for the whole family,” Andrew Kurtz, Wicomico County sports marketing representative stated in a press release. “Wicomico and Worcester counties and the Town of Ocean City will see a boost in tourist activities throughout the three weeks as a result of the tournament.” The event generates an estimated economic impact of over $17 million and a hotel demand in excess of 11,000 rooms. “Over the years we have worked with USSSA East and our partners in the Mid-Atlantic Amateur Sports Alliance (MAASA) to help grow the Eastern Nationals,” Kurtz continued. “This event is now one of the largest fast pitch tournaments in one location in the nation.” This is the fifth year USSSA held games and an opening ceremony in Ocean City. “MAASA, a formal sports marketing partnership between Wicomico and Worcester counties and the Town of Ocean City, was formed in 2014 to accommodate the growth of the Eastern Nationals, which had expanded beyond Wicomico County’s borders,” See TOURNAMENT Page 86

Annual Ocean Games this Saturday
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 20, 2018) The sixth annual Ocean Games returns to the resort this Saturday. In 2014, Swim Ocean City was officially sanctioned by the World of Open Water Swimming (WOWSA) and combined with the East Coast SUP CUP, hosted by local company Walk on Water to form the Ocean Games. The Ocean Games features a World of Open Water Swimming-sanctioned series of 3- and 9-mile open water swims along the Atlantic coastline as well as an Ultimate Frisbee tournament. And for the first time, a three-person team 9-mile relay has been added. When a motorcycle accident in 2007 left Ocean Games Race Director Corey Davis with a traumatic brain injury, rendering him unable to walk, the Johns Hopkins Brain and Stroke Rehabilitation Program became his only hope. After six months of treatment by a team of five professionals, led by neuropsychologist Dr. Kate (Kortte) Bechtold, Davis’ determination and the efforts of the rehabilitation program allowed him to stand on his own two feet again. “To give back to the program that helped him return to his previously active lifestyle, Corey conceived the idea of a swimming event, to be held in his native Ocean City,” Event Promoter Olive Mawyer said. “The event will si-

multaneously raise funds for the Brain and Stroke Rehabilitation Program, increase awareness of brain injuries and recovery and promote the positive effects that sports have on the brain and the body.” Since its debut in 2013, the Ocean Games has raised over $120,000 for the Johns Hopkins Program and local charities. Last year, the organization raised $22,000. This year, a percentage of funds raised will be donated to Worcester Youth & Family Counseling Services in Berlin. Festivities will begin tonight, Friday, at the Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church on 103rd Street with a packet pickup for the 9-mile swimmers and a mandatory safety meeting beginning at 7 p.m., presented by Davis. The swimmers will enter the water at 10 a.m. after a second safety meeting on the beach presented by the Ocean City Beach Patrol, Saturday. Registration for the swim events ended on Sunday, July 15. Twenty-two participants signed up for the 3-mile swim, 25 for the 9-mile swim including, and two three-person teams for the 9-mile relay. The 9-mile swim will run parallel to the shoreline and follow the direction of the current on race day, which will be determined around 6 a.m. For example, if the current is running north-to-south,

the 9-mile race will take swimmers from 146th Street down to Caroline Street. “It is the length of Ocean City in the ocean and along the coastline just past the surf,” Davis said. There will be time restrictions for each race and safety buoys approximately every 1,500 yards. “A marathon swim is any open water swim over 10 kilometers, or 6.2 miles long,” Davis said. “The Swim Ocean City event in the Ocean Games is unique by being one of only two marathon swims all in the ocean on the entire East Coast.” Award ceremonies will take place after the events, which includes trophies for best overall female and male swimmers in wetsuit and non-wetsuit categories. The Ultimate Frisbee co-ed competition will start at 10 a.m. on the beach. Participants can register for the Ultimate Frisbee competition from 8-10 a.m. at Caroline Street that day. Ultimate Frisbee recognizes the best overall team and an award will be given to the top event fundraiser. All participants will take home a commemorative T-shirt in addition to a finisher’s medal. The Beach Flight Ultimate Hat Tourney costs $40 (individual) or $30 (team) to enter. For more information or to register for the games, visit www.oceangamesusa.org.
