Golden Sands clear of legionella New chlorine injection system costing more than $100,000 installed by condo association
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) After reports last month that two cases of legionnaires disease were linked to the Golden Sands condominium on Coastal Highway in Ocean City, Jim Thomas, who owns three of the 360 units in the 22-story building, said extensive work has been done to address the issue. Thomas said this week that initial testing last November found unacceptable levels of the bacterium legionella in the building’s water supply. “The initial test was performed on Nov. 6,” he said. “We got the results back
approximately two to three weeks after that and they discovered they they had some pretty high levels.” Of the 19 sites tested within the building, two showed no signs of the bacterium, Thomas said, but several ‘The highest were above the reading at all was threshold of 10 1.7, the OSHA colony-forming threshold is 10, so units, or CFU’s, esit’s well below any tablished by the Oclevel of concern. cupational Health and Safety Adminis— unit owner tration. CFU proJim Thomas vides an estimate of the number of viable bacteria cells in a given sample. “They have to take a sample, it’s incubated for a certain period of time and they look at it and make a determination
of how much is there and you get the reading,” he said. After learning of high levels of legionella in November, the condominium association began addressing the situation, Thomas said. “The first thing they did was put bleach into the system, sodium hypochlorite,” he said. “They put that in the tanks going into the building.” The maintenance staff at the Golden Sands then opened water faucets in each unit, a similar approach to addressing issues with well water. “If a well became contaminated, you put a gallon of bleach down there, wait a while, go into the house and you open the faucets one by one until you can smell the bleach,” he said. “You just have to disinfect the system.” See CONDO Page 3
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) Police continue their search for the boater who ran into 44-yearold Heather Gehron-Rice of Lancaster, Pennsylvania as she competed in the threemile swim portion of the fourth-annual Ocean Games on Saturday. The Coast Guard veteran was struck by a boat near Ninth Street within sight of the finish line and immediately noticed her hand was injured. Maryland authorities said Gehron-Rice suffered a severe cut to her left hand, which was most likely ‘I can’t think caused by a of anything boat's promore peller. irresponsible “She has a than not long road to recovery with stopping.’ a deep wound — Candy Thomson stretching the length of her palm,” said Candy Thomson, the Natural Resources Police spokesperson. “We have no suspect vessel and I can’t think of anything more irresponsible then not stopping.” Several boats were in the water at the time of the race. Two officers are working on the case and have been visiting boat ramps hoping to jog someone’s memory. It is believed the boat was travelling in the opposite direction of Gehron-Rice, who was swimming south. “We need the public’s See POLICE Page 3

Condo owner calls for prevention education Continued from Page 1 Further testing occurred on Dec. 6, after the bleach treatment, “There was a dramatic difference between what they tested in November and December,” he said. “There was one high reading that got through. I think they had 14 non-detects and five that showed something.” Despite the apparent positive trend, the Golden Sands opted to buy a new chlorine injection system at a cost of more than $100,000, Thomas said, but getting the equipment operational involved more than a financial commitment. “You can’t go the hardware store and just simply buy one of these things and install it,” he said. “The problem they ran into is they actually installed the system in January, but in order to operate any kind of system that is injecting something into drinking water you have to get state approval. It took like three months for the state to approve it.” The biggest challenge is calibrating the system, Thomas said. “If you put too little chlorine in there it’s not going to harm anything,” he said. “You put too much and your water becomes undrinkable.” In April the injection system was approved for use. “The first test result that they had after the system was installed was on April 12, and they had three readings
that were high and that’s probably due the fact that it was sitting there for months before the system went into operation,” he said. Until the building’s water system was subsequently flushed, Thomas said the benefits were not noticed. “If you take a look at the readings that have occurred in late April, in May and the last one was June 8, they’ve been trending downward,” he said. “There were five detectable readings on June 8. Three of them were above one, the highest reading at all was 1.7, the OSHA threshold is 10, so it’s well below any level of concern.” Thomas had occasion to delve into the subject when another condo building where he owns units, the Sea Watch, also on Coastal Highway had a similar outbreak in 2012. “This hit at the Sea Watch in 2012 and it led to the installation of a sys-

“If water is stagnant and you’ve got the right temperature range it will grow, but the chlorine will inhibit that.” From his perspective, Thomas feels the city and state need to increase efforts to educate the public on how to address and prevent the problem. “After the Sea Watch incident, if the health department had met with all the various condo owners association and explained the scenario of how this happens and just urged everyone not to buy any new equipment, (they would have been able to) simply implement a program that they routinely flush the water during times it’s vacant,” he said. “You’re not talking about something where it comes in at an undetectable level and three or four days later you’ve got this major outbreak, it takes time for it to happen.”

tem like they have at the Golden Sands,” he said. “The chlorine injection system is necessary if you’re shooting for zero (CFUs).” Although Ocean City treats its drinking water with chlorine, Thomas said in some instances users might still be at risk. “They put chlorine in their water, but like a swimming pool, you’re constantly having to put chlorine in there all the time because it escapes out as a gas,” he said. “By the time the water gets to the Golden Sands the chlorine level is very, very low.” Injecting additional chlorine as water enters the building should alleviate any issues with the disease, Thomas said. “In the case of the legionella, chlorine inhibits the growth of legionella, as does low temperatures or extremely high temperatures,” he said.

Political banner ads cause ruckus Ocean Aerial owner claims he didn’t realize negative ads would be controversial
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) What goes up must come down, or so it seems with banner plane political ads that some beachgoers found objectionable. On Monday afternoon, Mayor Rick Meehan received emails from visitors and residents complaining of strong political messages pulled by banner planes over the beach. The two advertisements read, “Stop Mad Cow Disease . . . Stop Hillary” and “America First. Build That Wall.” “We’ve seen a few emails today and had a few comments about banners flown that are very political in nature,” Meehan said in the waning moments of the City Council session.
He added that just before the meeting he had received a call from Bob Bunting, the owner of Ocean Aerial Ads, which has been towing banner advertisements over the resort for almost 40 years. “He said he didn’t realize that they would cause a controversy and he has reached the decision not to fly political banners anymore,” Meehan said. In addition to the complaints emailed to City Hall, critics of the ads sent letters of protest to local newspapers. Those were later withdrawn by their authors following the announcement by Bunting. The planes have towed advertisements touting happy-hour specials and musical acts for decades and have now become a part of Ocean City’s image. “When you think of Ocean City, you can imagine the planes,” said city Communications Manager Jessica
Heroin dealer gets 10 years for involuntary manslaughter Skinkle’s cellphone records indicate he researched how to treat an overdose victim
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 22, 2016) Following a conviction in May for involuntary manslaughter, distribution of heroin, possession of heroin and reckless endangerment for selling the drugs that led to the overdose death of Christopher Taylor, Robert Franklin Skinkle, 26, of Berlin was sentenced to 10 years in prison, followed by 2.5 years of probation last week. In November 2015, according to
the statement of charges, Berlin Police responded to a residence on Pitts Street to assist Emergency Medical Service personnel with what they had thought was a cardiac event. Upon arrival, the report states that police learned it was an overdose instead. Finding Taylor’s cell phone, police discovered one of the last phone numbers Taylor had communicated with was Skinkle. Posing as an acquaintance of Taylor’s, police asked Skinkle if he knew where to acquire heroin, according to the report. Skinkle allegedly said he knew someone in Delaware named “Charley.” After executing a search warrant See JUDGE Page 6
Waters. “There was no intention of upsetting anyone. We’re in the middle of an interesting election cycle and it already has people divided and passionate, so ads of political nature raise some controversy.” Bunting later confirmed that he did not set out to upset visitors or promote one political agenda over the other. “I’ve been accused of supporting the Republican Party. I’m not proDemocrat or pro-Republican and I won’t share who I’m voting for,” he said. “I’m a non-confrontational person, so I’m not going to take any political ads anymore. “Politics has gotten so ugly. When people get this heated, I don’t need the money,” Bunting added. “But people don’t understand that the freedoms we already enjoyed are being locked down.”

Gotta catch them all Resort officials and businesses promoting heavily trending Pokémon Go game craze
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) Come for the beach, but stay a little longer for the Pokémon. That’s an approach Ocean City officials have begun to promote as they seek to capitalize on the wildly popular Pokémon Go smartphone game. “It’s the quickest downloaded app in iTunes history, and we’re just trying to enjoy the national phenomenon,” Ocean City Communications Manager Jessica Waters said. “It’s great to see people outside using it, and taking people places they wouldn’t normally visit.” Using a smartphone’s GPS and camera, players can capture, battle and train “pocket monsters” that appear on the devices’ screens as if in the real world. Locations and climates affect which Pokémon are visible. For example, gamers are more likely to find water-type monsters along the Boardwalk than at Tangier Outlets on Route 50. Players can also collect essential items at landmarks, which are represented in-game as “Pokestops.” At other See OC Page7

Continued from Page 5 for the phone, police said they recovered text messages between Skinkle and Taylor arranging a sale of five bags of heroin for $50. The report states police discovered Skinkle had delivered the drugs personally around 5:30 p.m. According to the phone data, police said, at 6:07 p.m. Skinkle’s phone accessed the public forums of Bluelight.org, an international website promoting responsible drug use. The title of the message board thread Skinkle’s phone accessed was, according to police, “Help is my friend overdosing right in front of me!!!” Commenters on the site advised the person to contact authorities. One minute later, the phone accessed another website describing the basics of recognizing heroin overdose. Skinkle later admitted to seeing Taylor inject the heroin and pass out. He said he attempted to rouse Taylor without success, and told police “when I left Chris’ house, I knew he was dead.” During the trial Judge Thomas Groton III called convicting Skinkle on all counts was “an easy decision.”

Hotel wall design approved despite concerns Residence Inn by Marriott given until December 2017 to paint stark ‘prison wall’
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) Visitors and residents crossing the Route 90 bridge will soon see a new view of a developing major hotel because of a plan that will incorporate a wave design on what otherwise looked like an eightstory tall “prison wall.” The new artistic effort makes good on a provision that was part of the Planning and Zoning Commission’s 2014 a site plan approval for a 150room Residence Inn by Marriott hotel along the bay near the bridge. According to officials, the preliminary concept included a stark white wall on the north side of the hotel fac-
ing the bridge, while the east, west and south sides included windows, wave-like roof heights and other features. One of the stipulations attached to that approval was that the developers would return to the commission with a revised design of the wall to meet the commission’s sense of aesthetics. Two weeks ago, the commission asked the developers to deliver on that promise, even though the project is roughly 90 percent complete. “We’ve had about 20 calls, and we’ve been told that the long white wall looks like a prison,” Commission member Palmer Gillis said at that session. “What we’re wondering is what we’re going to do to break that up.” Despite the assertion by attorney Joe Moore, who represents hotel owners Inns of Ocean City LLC, that

the original plan was to open the season and add the wave design later, the commission took the lack of painting as a sign of lack of commitment. A motion was passed to have the developer return within 30 days with a plan to install the wave feature by December 2017 with a funding mechanism in place. When the commission convened this week, Gillis reported that the minutes from the earlier sessions revealed that the project’s approval was left open-ended on several counts. “We expressed a lot of concern about the north elevation and it was subject to re-review to the commission. It was incumbent on the application to do that for us, and the lacking we have here is we didn’t attach a specific timeline to that,” he said. “With due respect, the building is 90 percent done, and we’re in an

awkward situation here. It’s not up to us to hound the applicant.” Another design suggestion that was tossed around, in addition to painting the wall, included breaking the roofline with different elevations. Apparently, Gillis had made a motion along this line of thought, but retracted it went it failed to generate support. Leaving the past behind, the commission members were left to examine the wave design that was originally proposed. Some members had stronger opinions than others. “I like the painting, and it’s going to make a statement, but I think the opportunity was missed to do something cool there, especially since it’s part of the city’s gateway,” said Commission member Chris Shanahan. “I’d rather something get done sooner than later.” Chairwoman Pam Buckley recommended painting the design in the middle of the structure and leaving the east and west ends white to break up the pattern. Fellow commission member Peck Miller was a bit more critical of the project’s approval process. “I’m disappointed in how this turned out and how it’s gone. There’s more than one person culpable,” he said. “I truly expected something to come back to us earlier. Where we are right now, I think it’s a good lesson to learn. I don’t think we’ll let something through without dates and times.” He also asked the developers if there was financial plan in place to show the project would be done. “It scares me when the developer says we can’t afford $68,000 on a multi-million-dollar project to make something look better. It makes me think, who’s going to own that next See PnZ Page 13

The project meets our design standards in certain ways, but we haven’t got down to the level of colors and siding materials,” Irwin said. “Some of that might change.” Council members were generally satisfied with these responses, including acting Council President Mary Knight, who had her own misgivings. “I have to admit, I agree with Mr. Gisriel on this, but I do wish the developer much luck on this project. I hope it’s as beautiful as it can be.” The ordinance to rezone the Cropper concrete plant passed on first reading 5-1, with Knight in opposition. Council President Lloyd Martin was absent.

PnZ Commission displeased with planning process Continued from Page 12 week,” Miller said. Moore replied that there was no mention of financial issues, but that the developers didn’t want to borrow money to do paint the wall. “It was asked to get through a season to do that,” Moore said. “We’re going to get a bond by letter of credit with Eagle Bank that has been established.” Focusing the design, Rich Palmer, a managing member of the hotel corporation, said the aesthetics of any design might not appeal to everyone. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I know some people really do like it and some people don’t. The wave is not an afterthought, the windows and the logo was designed with the wave in mind,” Palmer said. “We weren’t trying not to comply with what you requested, but it would be helpful for you to define what aesthetic you’re trying to achieve.” He added that the developers could always make capital calls to fund the hotel’s makeover. Issues with the general contractor have also slowed the project considerably, which could contribute to the delay in revised plans. “We’ve been reluctant to commit to a date, because we’ve never had one date hit this entire time. We were trying to open before Memorial Day, and we lost a lot of foregone income this summer,” Palmer said. Satisfied, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Residence Inn’s façade plan, with possibly framing the wave with two white borders, with a unanimous vote. But before the meeting adjourned, Commission member Lauren Taylor offered attempted to pinpoint the cause of the problem. “Even though we did not set a specific time or date for the review, we made it very clear that that wall was not acceptable. The developers chose to build it without bringing it back,” she said. “So whatever concept comes out of that is because they did not bring the design back.”

Following confirmed rabies case, county to raze colony Activists plea case of feral feline, ‘Oliver,’ while three people treated for exposure
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) One rabid cat in West Ocean City, and the fate of other feral cats at the same location have generated hundreds of emails and even spurred a small protest by feline protection activists last Thursday at the government center in Snow Hill. During Tuesday’s Worcester County Commissioner meeting, however, Worcester County Health Officer Debbie Goeller said the department plans to remove and euthanize a colony of feral cats near the Ocean Village condominiums in West Ocean City. The rabid cat reported to the department came from that colony. Goeller said her department was contacted on June 11 by a veterinarian’s office after a cat that appeared to be rabid was spotted by a family
renting an Ocean Village unit. “This cat needed to be euthanized and was sent to the state rabies laboratory for testing.” Four days later, the state confirmed that the cat was rabid, Goeller said, at which time her department posted rabies advisory notices in the complex. “We also went door to door to determine if additional people or pets had been exposed to this rabid cat,” she said. “That is our normal procedure.” After seeing a picture of the rabid cat, several residents confirmed they had seen the cat, called “Oliver,” in question in the area. “After those risk-exposure assessments were performed, it was determined that three individuals, two adults and a child, required post-exposure rabies treatment,” she said. “This is not a small matter. It is a significant expense and a significant discomfort and a significant disruption to those individuals.” Based on this information, Goeller

Volunteers from Community Cat Collation, Alley Cat Allies and Town Cats stand outside the Worcester County Courthouse last Thursday in Snow Hill to protest the euthanization of a cat that was suspected to have rabies. Volunteers launched an unsuccessful email campaign to quarantine the feline, named “Oliver” by supporters, days before the animal was put down.

said the health department determined that all the cats living in the colony had been exposed to rabies. “Therefore the remaining cats needed to be removed from the community and humanely euthanized,” she said. “Ocean Village property management was contacted and advised that the remaining cats on the property should be removed.” According to Goeller, the management company cooperated and authorized Worcester County Animal Control to set traps to catch and remove the cats, which was done on June 16. “No cats were able to be trapped until June 28,” she said. “In large part they were unable to be trapped because someone was continuing to feed those cats.” Goeller said cats have ranked third in the state for testing positive for rabies over the last year — “Second only to raccoons and bats and they are the highest among domestic animals.” See TRANSMITTABLE Page 15

Transmittable, fatal disease exposure spells end of cats Goeller said the releasing any animal that has been exposed to rabies could result in additional human and animal exposures. “Cats can incubate rabies up to a full six months,” she said. “It’s possible for a full six-month time period those cats can be incubating rabies and could begin shedding the virus at any time.” Numerous cat lovers asked whether a rabies test on the cat colony might be conducted. “While a cat is incubating rabies, there is no test that will show whether the cat is incubating rabies or not,” she said. “You can only test for rabies once the disease takes hold of the cat.” Commissioner Joe Mitrecic called the situation unfortunate and said he was not apprised of the June 11 situation until later. “I didn’t know about it until July 15 when the first 600 emails came to me,” he said. “ This board has to know about situations like this because we have to answer to the public. You all don’t, we do.” In the meantime, Worcester County Animal Control personnel have received threats for their role in the colony cleanup. “We have had people calling that threatened our lives, our homes, (say-
ing) we’re pieces of crap, we should die and our children aren’t worthy of having parents like us,” Sue Rantz, chief animal control officer, told the commissioners. When a potentially rabid animal bites someone, quarantine procedures could be followed with the proper documentation and certification of ownership, Rantz said. “No one could provide that information,” she said. “We had four different ladies calling saying that they were the owner of the cat,” she said. “Without that certification, the cat is not allowed to leave the shelter without having an owner in Worcester County and certification through the health department.” Commissioner Chip Bertino asked why the county allows the feral cat colonies to exist. “I believe we need to consider making some laws,” Rantz replied. Commissioner Bud Church asked what could be done to address the threats made to animal control and health department personnel. “They (the callers and email writers) have every right to ask questions, but they don’t have the right to threaten someone,” he said. “I would like to see us follow through to make those people pay for what they’ve done.”

Transit ads proving lucrative for Ocean City City rakes in $322K from signs and thousands more from credit card readers
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) With the new fiscal year underway, Ocean City officials are starting to weigh their options regarding two revenue sources: bus and tram advertisements. It’s almost been two years since the City Council approved advertising on the Boardwalk trams in a split vote to increase the resort’s cash flow. Back then, Public Works Director Hal Adkins estimated that the total revenue would be $125,000 if the two side panels and the rear panel from all 16 trams
were sold as ad space. That total also factors in the 3565 revenue split with the resort’s contracted advertising representative Direct Media, with Ocean City gaining the larger share. Although not all the tram panels have been filled, the city is still raking in the green from the 17 spaces it has sold. “We’re still beating the budget. We budgeted $78,000 for the tram ads. The projected revenue came in a little over $79,000,” said former acting Transit Manager Wayne Pryor, who is assuming other duties following the July 18 arrival of new transportation chief Mark Rickards. Meanwhile, bus wrap sales have decreased slightly this year. From the 44 slots that have been bought by various businesses, institutions and
organizations, Ocean City is projected to see $244,000 in revenue. The city’s last fiscal year budget accounted for $255,000. Looking at the totals, Pryor suggested that this could be a case of competing interests between the two transit methods. “It’d be interesting to chart this ahead,” he said. “Putting the panels of trams has been successful, but has it been cannibalizing the bus advertisements? To me, it looks like there’s a finite amount of money being spent on city bus and tram ads, and it’s around $335,000. “We’ve only had full tram ads this season, so to move forward, we need to wait to see how this plays out,” Pryor added. “One year it might be more trams, one year it might be more buses.”

Another trend city staff was quick to point out was the clear divide between advertisements from private sector and public organizations. While the buses feature a mix of ads from organizations and businesses, the trams were a bit more skewed. “Out of the 48 available spots on the trams, you got three [ads] from Ripley’s Believe It or Not, two from Dippin Dots and one from the Coffee Beanery,” said Adkins. “About 60 percent are from places like the Health Department, including one about the Zika virus, and the State Highway Administration. It’s not a negative, I just want to paint a picture of reality.” As for the articulating buses, there has yet to be a business or organization that has purchased the wrap ad space on the second vehicle. While commending the success of the advertisement campaigns, Mayor Rick Meehan wanted to concentrate on businesses for advertising possibilities.
‘We’re still beating the budget. We budgeted $78,000 for the tram ads. The projected revenue came in a little over $79,000’ Former acting Transit Manager Wayne Pryor “Just like we need to increase the pool of drivers, we need to do that with possible advertisers,” he said. “Some drop, and some need to be added. We can’t just rely on the public sector. We need to increase [our ads from] private sector. It’s continuing to open new doors.” In other business, Pryor reported that credit card use has slowly been gaining traction with tram riders since the introduction of card readers during Springfest. “When we decided to put them in, the staff was nervous if it was going to work. Now, it’s the best thing since sliced bread,” he said. “The transition was seamless, and now operators wish everyone would use it.” According to the figures, the total revenue from tram rides in June was approximately $263,500, with roughly $46,000 accounted for with credit card transactions. So far, July has seen a minor spike in credit card use, as about $28,000 makes up the $142,000 total. “That’s 25 percent usage versus 18 percent,” Pryor said. “It’s all about the customer experience and the convenience.” The next step for the credit card machines on trams is to get the message to visitors that they no longer need exact change for the $3 fare to ride the boards, according to Meehan. “There’s going to be a big push next year for a consistency in a message about this. You get different customers each year,” he said.

Ocean City officials to examine recruitment Bus drivers, seasonal cops meeting demand, but town wary of resting on laurels
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) Although the number of bus drivers is down slightly from 2015, Ocean City officials are confident that they have the resources to sustain the municipal bus system’s success for this season. During Tuesday’s Transportation Commission meeting, councilmembers and city staff examined the statistics of qualified bus drivers in the past four years to see how this year’s 145 drivers compare to past hiring totals before the Public Works Department’s Transportation Division stepped up recruitment efforts.
Not that long ago, the city was plagued with unreliable deployment schedules and long waits, which were mirrored by the comparatively low driver numbers. In 2013, only 134 bus operators were brought on for the summer. The following year recorded 119 drivers, a five-year low. “That’s when we were asked to get involved and spearhead recruitment efforts,” said Wayne Pryor, who was acting transit manager until Mark Rickards filled the position on July 18. His and the city staff’s efforts paid off. The next summer season saw bus driver numbers swell to 156, which set the bar for this year. Back in May, Pryor reported to the commission that the city was on course to top 2015 with 167 drivers, but that total slowly dwindled as the season continued.
“I want to make note that it’s not that we didn’t put in the effort this year, it’s that we had 22 people fall out. A half dozen got here and said ‘it’s not for me,” some had poor customer service skills. Others had medical issues. One even died,” he said. Since most municipal bus drivers are retirees who have conflicts such as spending time with grandchildren or medical conditions, city officials see a need to redouble their yearround recruitment efforts. “Next year, we plan to reach out to some civic organizations like the Kiwanis Club in Ocean Pines and NAARP to recruit that demographic we need,” Pryor said. Rickards, who was on his second day on the job, added that the recruitment’s momentum needed to be carried throughout the year.

“I relay this as a football coach, where the senior class graduates and at the beginning of each year, there’s a new class,” he said. “You’re going to have turnover every year. Motivation offseason is key, including training and recruiting, and I’m excited about that challenge.” Despite the smaller pool of drivers, Pryor was adamant that the customer’s experience has not been negatively affected. “I have received some messages about the city’s transportation, but there has not been one complaint about bus customer service,” he said. Meanwhile, ridership totals showed a small dip in numbers in a month-by-month analysis. This June, roughly 680,000 passengers used the bus as compared to last year’s 684,000. By July 17, 320,000 people were riding the bus, while the 342,000 were on board as of that same benchmark in 2015. Pryor said the city’s strategy this

year was to deploy fewer buses and use them efficiently and calling more drivers as needed, rather than using last year’s approach of putting as many buses on the road as possible. “If you look how many passengers were carried by bus per shift, we’re trying to optimize when we have people out there,” he said. “Look at it like a business, how you’re spending money with buses sitting at the north end and south end that aren’t full in between. So we need to pull some deployments and be smart with taxpayer dollars. “If we’re not receiving complaints, I got to believe we’re meeting demand, because that’s my only barometer,” Pryor said. Mayor Rick Meehan concurred and supported the heightened recruitment push for bus drivers. He drew some comparisons to the flagging numbers in seasonal police officers. “I think you’re right. It’s a new day and a new year,” Meehan said. “Like with the police department and other departments, we can’t rest on our laurels. We have to keep working with them and continue our efforts.”

Directional boring machine causes sinkhole Councilmember Dare, who promoted ban on drilling, outvoted to lift restriction
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) Although chances are slim that directional boring into resort roads could nick water or sewer lines, there’s always the possibility that something will defy the odds. That’s apparently what happened near a storm drain on 93rd Street and Artic Avenue, where a sinkhole appeared because of a ruptured pipe. A week after city government’s short-lived ban on boring was lifted, Sandpiper Energy was working on the sinkhole when it became evident
that an earlier drilling there had gone through a storm drain. Apparently, the drilling accident occurred as the company installing a natural gas main under Coastal Highway. “The boring machine has a cutter head that nicked the storm drain pipe,” said Public Works Director Hal Adkins. “Once it had made the hole, the machine pulled back and dislodged the pipe from the joint. It was a clean separation.” As is customary with large road construction projects, Sandpiper had installed a gas line before the State Highway Administration started its multi-million-dollar street paving project. The depression had appeared in Coastal Highway around May 20, when Cruisin’ Ocean City had rolled out of town. A
steel plate covered the hole for weeks. Councilman Dennis Dare had used the storm drain sinkhole as an example in his argument to ban directional boring two weeks ago. On July 15, the moratorium was lifted after Adkins told the council that boring-related accidents were exceptionally rare. “I’m shocked,” Dare deadpanned on Tuesday after learning about the sinkhole’s cause. He had voted against lifting the ban last week. “That’s the issue with boring. We only find out about this when a sinkhole appears or when sewage backs into people’s houses.” Dare voiced disappointment that the company or the city did not use cameras to inspect the finished project.
‘This is something we could have prevented before people come back into their summer homes or in the middle of winter to check up on their properties to find their sewage backed up,” he said. “Apparently, that’s not enough to warrant the extra cost in some people’s minds.” On Tuesday morning, Sandpiper had closed one lane of southbound traffic to investigate the sinkhole. According to Adkins, Wednesday was devoted to repairing the issue. “They had to dig in about 10 feet both ways to give enough flex to push the pipe down,” he explained. “The remedial work, including the paving, is all on the gas company.” It is too early to determine a cost estimate for the repair work, according to Sandpiper officials. From a legislation standpoint, directional boring is a topic that will be left untouched by Dare. He said the writing was on the wall when the moratorium was lifted with a 5-1 vote. “It is what it is,” he said. “To quote former Councilman Ed Ellis, ‘I wasn’t wrong, I was out-voted.’”

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) The Ocean City Police Criminal Investigation Division’s Narcotics Unit and Special Enforcement Unit made 52 arrests in June during its drug enforcement buy-bust operations at various locations throughout the resort. The 52 arrests included 19 for distribution of narcotics, 18 for conspiracy to distribute narcotics and 15 arrests for disorderly conduct and other local ordinance violations. Detectives seized a number of drugs during the undercover operations, including heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and more than 150 prescription pills with a street value of $2,655. In addition, two handguns, 11 concealed deadly weapons such as knives, metal knuckles and stun guns, three vehicles and more than $4,550 were taken during these busts. The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Enforcement Team, which consists of members of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and Maryland State Police, assisted in the drug busts. Narcotics Unit detectives were also assisted by the OCPD Special Enforcement Unit, Major Crimes Unit and Patrol Division. Police remind citizens that undercover officers continue to conduct drug enforcement operations throughout the year.

ATLANTIC DENTAL COSMETIC & FAMILY DENTISTRY Thee Gina Renee Piazza • 12308 Ocean Gateway, Suite 6 Ocean City, Maryland, 21842
Program through University of Maryland includes both Berlin, Snow Hill, at present
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) It’s been a long time coming, but the Coastal Resources Legislative Green Team Committee has finally submitted its application to make Ocean City a Sustainable Maryland Certified municipality. Since the Green Team was reinstated last year, resort officials have been using it as a platform for ecofriendly practices, namely seeking financial and technical aid for long-term projects through the University of Maryland program. Roughly 60 municipalities are registered but only 30 are properly certified, including Berlin and Snow Hill. Ocean City has been chasing certification by earning points through certain initiatives. The minimum number of points a municipality must have is 150. By the time the committee entered its application in June, the resort had logged 285 points. “We just did what we’re already doing,” said Gail Blazer, city envi-

ronmental engineer and committee member. “When we started, we reached out to other departments to see what was being done and there was so many things we were doing we could get credit for. What was the most difficult task was bringing it all together in the paperwork.” For example, promoting the Ocean City’s farmer’s market on 145th Street qualified as five points. Blazer mentioned that the HotelMotel-Restaurant Association offers information about green practices that also counted towards the total. “The program is a bit tiered, and we can suggest what number of points should go to what. In the end, they evaluate and decide how many to award. Who knows, they might decide to take some points away so it’s better to have a little more,” she said. In completing the documentation, Blazer was surprised at which programs were top earners. “We thought getting the ‘green team’ designation on the committee would really push us over the edge, but what it really was the energy audits,” she said. In 2015, Ocean City concluded its yearlong energy audit on city buildings in conjunction with consultants from Energy Services Group. The audit identified $4.6 million worth of upgrades that would save the resort roughly $258,450 annually. Completing the study counted as 55 points, according to the city’s SMC application. New and ongoing projects were also documented, such as the Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Cities & Towns Campaign, which the City Council formally voted to join last month. Recreation and Parks staff is developing a plan to include healthy snack options at Northside Park or city-catered events. Ocean City was also recently accepted into the Maryland Green Registry, which provides municipalities free technical and informational assistance to implement environmental best practices. That act also contributes to the total points while sustaining the goal of shaping Ocean City into an environmentally sound resort. “Gaining certification is the right thing to do,” Blazer said. “It’s good for the tourists and the economy here, since more people are becoming invested in green living options. All this goes a long way to show that we care about the town, the environment and the citizens. Hopefully, the feedback on the application comes back positive.” Ocean City will hear back on the status its application before October. Certification is valid for three calendar years and can be renewed. The award is offered twice a year.

City participates in parks month National campaign urges children to play outside; OCRP starts event series
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) The Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department is taking part this July in a national campaign to focus attention on having fun while staying active at the numerous recreational facilities throughout the resort. At an Ocean City Tourism Commission meeting last week, Ocean City recreation Superintendent Kate Gaddis reported on the effort to encourage tourists and residents to take advantage of special offerings at resort parks. “It’s a campaign by the National Recreation and Parks Association,” she said. “They want everyone to bring it home into their local community.” The theme of this year’s designated month is the Park and Rec Brigade, a promotion that employs colorful characters such as Captain Community, the Green Guardian and the Fit Twins. “Their campaign is all based around superheroes,” she said. “Discover your super powers at your local parks and recreation (facilities).”
Gaddis said this department’s outreach is being coordinated by intern Gloria Murphy, who is nearing completion of a bachelor’s degree in recreation and park management at Frostburg University. “We do need to stress the importance of recreation in our daily lives,” Murphy said. “What better way then to start with children to let them know you can come out and have a good time while you’re getting fit and being active.” Because open space is at a premium in Ocean City, Gaddis said the goal was to promote the resort’s large number of small community parks. “We don’t have big, huge expansive parks, we have small parks, which are nestled within the community,” Gaddis said. “We wanted to have an activity that was right there in the community.” After agreeing on the approach, Gaddis said Murphy developed a series of special events on Saturdays in July. These included free morning outdoor games and wildlife viewing trips at a different location each Saturday at 10 a.m. This Saturday an event takes place at Little Salisbury Park, 94th Street bayside, with the final Saturday morning program set for July 30 at North Surf Park,
142nd Street bayside. In addition to providing games, Murphy has included the Scales and Tales environmental education program offered through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The presentation uses rescued birds of prey and reptiles that cannot be released into the wild. During the morning festivities last Saturday at Robin Drive Park, 28th Street bayside, Pocomoke River State Park Naturalist Patrick Simons gave a presentation on diamondback terrapins, Eastern screech owls, barn owls, broad winged hawks, red tail hawks and even a turkey vulture. “That’s why I tried to bring Scales and Tales in,” she said. “Kids love those critters. They love the animals, and you’re not going to get that experience from your handheld device.” Separating youth from the continual onslaught of digital-based entertainment and fighting childhood obesity are also priorities from Murphy’s perspective. “All through my coursework, that has been the foundation, obesity in general and how childhood obesity has doubled,” she said. “Childhood obesity has reached an all-time high and we really need to address this.” See SUMMER Page 24

Summer camps, programs promote healthy lifestyles Continued from Page 23 She stressed that staying in shape doesn’t have to involve drudgery. “We really do need to show children that it doesn’t just have to be going to a gym,” she said. “It can be going out to your neighborhood park. This is a great way to get fit.” While most residents and many tourists are aware of the larger recreational facilities in Ocean City, Murphy said there are other treasures to discover. “Northside Park is a beautiful facility and it’s huge, so a lot of people know about it,” she said. “Little Salisbury on 94th Street — not a lot of
people know about it and I love for the community to get out and utilize these neighborhood parks.” Despite the current attention being paid to neighborhood parks, Gaddis said Northside Park remains the centerpiece. “Just today alone we probably have 300 kids here at Northside Park participating in different camps and staying active,” she said. Programs are evaluated on an annual basis, Gaddis said, and new suggestions are always welcome. “We encourage people to contact us if they have an idea,” she said. “We love when the community gives us feedback.”

Tourism commission hears several updates Officials talk Dine United, Sunfest advertising, as well as Sunset Park Party Nights By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) During Ocean City Tourism Commission’s meeting on July 11, project updates were provided for a number of organizations including the Ocean City Hotel Motel Restaurant Association, the Ocean City Development Corporation and the Ocean City Department of Tourism. Susan Jones, HMRA executive director, provided details about a new United Way program involving numerous dining establishments in Ocean City. “Dine United is a program we worked on with the United Way of
the Lower Eastern Shore,” she said. “We have 23 participating restaurants.” The fundraiser, which is underway, could eventually extend beyond the Eastern Shore. “Some of them are doing special frozen cocktails and they give a percentage of the drink to United Way directly,” she said. “This is a pilot program for United Way and it may be something that will be rolled out through all United Ways.” The Dine In campaign has also inspired participation from outside the realm of food and beverages. “We also had an allied member, Erwyn Hospitality Group, who does amenities like little shampoos and stuff,” she said. “He is giving a penny from every shampoo bottle that he sells over the summer to United Way.”
Jones also highlighted the Surfers Healing event that takes place next month. “Surfers come in from all around the country to help kids with autism surf for the day,” she said. “That’s held at Castle in the Sand (3701 Coastal Hwy.) on Aug 17.” Ocean City Development Corporation member, and former president, Todd Ferrante reported the kickoff of the Sunset Park Party Nights on July 7, with entertainment provided by the Journey-tribute band Eclipse, was a smashing success. “It was possibly the largest number of attendees we’ve ever had, we had 770 people there. It was incredible,” he said. “Conditions were hot and humid, but it didn’t seem to keep people away.” While this isn’t the first year for the concert series, Ferrante said the
events are gaining momentum. “It’s taken a while to get this going, but now it’s starting to move and a lot of people are coming down,” he said. The OCDC is also close to putting the finishing its Dance of the Dolphins sculpture project at the intersection of the Route 90 Bridge on Coastal Highway, with a dedication ceremony to be announced shortly. “We’ve also raised the necessary funds to complete the Dolphin Plaza,” he said. Ocean City Tourism and Marketing Director Donna Abbott reported on her department’s plan to advertise Sunfest during an upcoming Orioles game, based on a recommendation from MGH, the city’s advertising agency. “It’s not as expensive as I was thinking,” she said. The city will purchase backdrop ads during several upcoming games televised on the Mid Atlantic Sports Network. “We’re using funds to buy a backdrop for Sunfest for the Orioles-Nationals game,” she said. “What I like is it’s not just Oriole fans watching it on MASN, but the opposing teams fans are watching it where they are.” The city will also run a general promotion to encourage beach tourism, with the first advertisements running when the Orioles host Cleveland at Camden Yards on July 22.

Health dept. outlines Zika virus abatement procedures Commissioners proactively set standards to qualify for official county response By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) The possibility of a Zika virus outbreak was the basis for a request from county Health Officer Debbie Goeller to grant the health department and other county departments the authorization to address predetermined conditions as emergencies requiring abatement under the county health nuisance ordinance. The commissioners approved the resolution that establishes criteria and procedures to authorize a health officer order. On June 7, Goeller made a Zika presentation to the commissioners and said then the topic likely would be revisited. “I warned you at the time that I may very well be coming back for some assistance with respect to follow up under the county nuisance ordinance if we found those conditions in which we would respond to Zika,” she said. The conditions, which could be deemed a nuisance if not addressed, include the presence of the aegypti
mosquito, the detection of certain threshold levels of the albopictus, or the detection of a potentially virulent case of Zika, Goeller said. “(Under) those three conditions we would have to respond quickly, so it seemed the best thing to do was to have a resolution for you to identify those three conditions to enable the health department and other county departments to respond appropriately,” she said. Goeller noted that the same conditions are cited in the interim Maryland Aedes Surveillance and Control Plan. “There have been 11 responses in the state so far and everyone in the community has been very cooperative,” she said. “It has not been necessary to issue a health officer.” Under the order to abate nuisance the county is authorized to inspect outdoor areas of private property deemed to meet established criteria for the possibility of a Zika virus outbreak. Other procedures could include dumping, covering, discarding or otherwise modifying water-holding containers. Any containers that cannot be modified could be treated with long-lasting larvicide. Also the county would be authorized to treat the area in question with adulticide.

Association gets to work restoring 1940s airplane By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) A piece of aviation history, a 1940s-era Aeronca Chief, was delivered on Saturday, July 9, to a hangar at the Ocean City Airport, where the Ocean City Aviation Association will begin a lengthy restoration project. Coleman Bunting, OCAA treasurer, said the recent purchase came about from an attempt to bridge the generation gap with area youngsters. “We wanted to try to reach some of the kids in the schools,” he said. “I checked with Stephen Decatur (High School) and Wor-Wic (Community College) and told them we were interested in doing this project and we never got any response.” The OCAA has been in existence for half a century, Bunting said, and its primary mission is to promote safety and education at the airport. “It used to be we made model airplanes and now everybody is on their computer,” he said. “Not too many of them are interested in mechanical skills. It’s going to be a lost art doing some of this stuff.” Despite the apparent lack of buyin, Bunting said the OCAA decided to forge ahead after locating a disassembled, but well preserved, Aeronca Chief in storage at the Essex Skypark Airport in Baltimore. “We found this antique and decided to get her,” he said. “Right now, she’s basically frame work, parts and pieces.” Ocean City Airport Manager Jamie Giandomenico, who helped transport the relic, said the plane has less than 1,000 hours of airtime and is a discovery to be treasured. The plane made its last landing and went into storage about five years ago after losing its sea legs, Bunting said. “It was last a float plane and then they sold the floats off of it,” he said. The restoration process will take at least a year, Bunting said, and most
work will be completed at the airport. “One of the guys that’s interested in heading it up already has a hangar here,” he said. “The guy that’s going to be heading it up is James Wolfe.” Wolfe, who drove the moving truck packed with the airplane fuselage, gas tank, wooden wings and engine parts, is taking on the role of chief mechanic. “The club’s involved in the financing end of it and he’s responsible for the mechanical end of it,” Bunting said. “We’re doing what work we can here (at the airport), but there are things we can’t do here like painting and stuff.” After taking stock of the assorted airplane parts and boxes of engine materials, Bunting felt positive about the project’s outlook. “Basically, we have it all, but there’s a couple of critical parts that we’re going to buy new,” he said. “Stuff you can’t inspect, you just replace.” He explained that high-winged touring aircraft from that era were designed with wing braces, which are highly prone to rust, and are generally replaced during restoration. “Those struts are critical,” he said. “You lose one and you’ve lost it.” While OCAA members are excited about putting put the plane back in the air, Bunting said the group hopes to find a few helping hands and perhaps impart knowledge along the way. “It’s basically an education project for anyone that’s interested in this type of deal,” he said. “We’ve got 11(000) or 12,000 people in Ocean Pines, some of them have got to be retired mechanics, or somebody that’s got too much time on their hands and can do something.” Bunting said anyone who would like to learn more should email Jack Wolfe jhw@wolfepound.com. “We’re happy to show it to anybody,” he said. “It’s going to be a work in progress and hopefully we’ll have somebody learn something.”

Future food truck to appear at county winery Approval on fare sales opens door for other vine businesses in farm districts
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) After holding a public meeting on Tuesday to review a compromise for a proposed zoning amendment to allow food sales at wineries located in agricultural districts, the Worcester County Commissioners approved the application to that effect from Jack Lord, coowner of Costa Ventosa in Whaleyville. Ed Tudor, Worcester Development Review and Permitting director, said the county Planning Commission expressed some reluctance about the idea during a June

meeting with Lord. “The Planning Commission had concerns about allowing food sales during times when the winery was not open, and also allowing them to be off premises,” he said. “That could basically constitute a restaurant in the A-1 district, which they didn’t want to see.” In April, Lord met with Tudor, Commissioner Jim Bunting, Economic Development Director Merry Mears, Environmental Programs Director Bob Mitchell and Ed Potetz from the state health department to examine his request to “have a more or less permanent ‘food truck’” located at his winery. At that time, Tudor advised Lord that county regulations prohibited food sales at wineries, and that his plan would require an amendment
to alter the county’s Zoning and Subdivision Control Article. Further, he volunteered to assist Lord in formulating the amendment language. At the commissioners meeting on June 21, Tudor said despite his involvement in drafting the initial language, he remained concerned that the operation could develop into a carryout restaurant. Following the June meeting, Lord amended his application to limit food sales at wineries to regular business hours and on premises, Tudor said. “It was also suggested it could be for wineries in the A-2 district,” he said. “The bill as it is has a favorable recommendation from the staff and the Planning Commission.”
The only person to speak during the public comment portion of the meeting was Lord’s attorney, Mark Cropper, who acknowledged there had been misgivings about the initial amendment language and that they had been addressed with the help of planning department officials. Cropper said his client never intended to create a “full-blown commercial operation. This is a mere accommodation to the customers at the winery,” he said. “It will be a compliment to the neighborhood and the winery, and not a detriment to the community.” Making the initial motion to approve the proposal, Commissioner Ted Elder said, “It’s right down the street from me. It would be nice to have someplace like that.”

Worcester has more CAFOs, fewer problems County’s strong zoning regs keep industrial farms away from more residential areas
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 22, 2016) Despite having nearly the same number of “Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations” as Wicomico, and far more than in Somerset, public outcry about these farms’ impact on the environment and neighboring properties has been limited in Worcester County, and it’s no accident. CAFOs, as they are known, are essentially the same as other animal feeding operations, such as chicken houses, except they have more animals per square foot to reduce costs. The upside of these is cheaper chicken at the grocery store, while the

downside includes possible negative effects on air quality, groundwater and property values, depending on how waste is handled, the size of the operation and its proximity to other properties. That’s where Worcester’s zoning laws come in. County zoning restricts farming operations to the zones specifically designated for that purpose, as well as the Enterprise zones (E1) and a “resource planning district” (RP) by special exception. The E-1 zone is expected to be eliminated during the next review of the comprehensive plan, which also will review all the farming zoning districts. Mark Shaffer, director of communications for the Maryland Department of the Environment, said Worcester has 108 issued permits for CAFOs, while Wicomico has 111 and Somerset has 83. Why there is less squawking about these factory feeding operations in Worcester is because “Our zoning code regulates any farm as an agricultural structure: feed lots, hog houses etc. — they’re not distinguished,” said Ed Tudor, county director of development review and permitting, said. In addition, special setbacks are required for poultry operations. Within the two agricultural districts (A-1, A-2), placement of a chicken house requires no less than a five-acre piece of property. The front yard setback must be 35 feet, and both side and rear yard setbacks must be at least 20 feet. Going farther up the zoning hierarchy, even greater setbacks are required. The E-1 district has increased side and rear yard setback requirements. The setbacks have helped Worcester experience fewer problems than its neighbors, and now it is preparing to go farther. The county has been working on a
proposal to increase the regulations on CAFOs in the county, as officials consider a zoning amendment by offered by resident Harold Scrimgeour earlier this year. Tudor said the proposed amendment radically changes how the county regulates poultry houses. In order to review the proposed changes, Tudor presented the county’s planning commission with a summary of the changes and the document was approved by Scrimgeour. The new regulations, according to Tudor’s summary, would first require five acres per proposed house for new or expanding operations, with an exception for replacement houses. Next, it would make a distinction between existing poultry houses and new construction, allowing replacement houses to adhere to the standards in place when the original building was built. New or replacement houses can decrease required setbacks by 100 feet should the operator install a vegetative buffer, at a two-to-one ratio. Setbacks on new operations could also be based on the relative size of the poultry house, the smallest of which is 300 feet from the property line, or 500 feet from an existing residence in a non-participating property. For a participating property, the setbacks would be 50 feet from the line and 200 feet from an existing residential structure. Also, non-participating properties would need 1,000 feet from tunnel exhaust fans and 200 feet from a public road to conform to the proposed requirements. Tudor said the planning commission convened a work group to study the issue. It is being run by Brooks Clayville, a farmer (though not of chickens) and a former planning commissioner member. Also on this panel are farmer and former county commissioner Virgil Shockley and
Alan Hudson, president of the Worcester County Farm Bureau. “We need to be proactive before we become Wicomico or Somerset. I don’t want this to be a fight, we should just be prepared,” Hudson said. The situation in Somerset and Wicomico became front page news earlier this year, when 13 “mega chicken houses” were proposed for property just outside of Salisbury, according to the Salisbury Independent. Neighboring property owners objected strenuously, while others contended that the county’s agricultural industry needed to be preserved, rather than discouraged. Shockley agrees the merits should be weighed. “The key to the whole thing is zoning, and we basically closed the door on that a long, long time ago,” he said. “The companies are looking at this as the last great building boom — the reason being the push for more regulations.” The idea is, Shockley explained, that organizations or individual farmers are attempting to make improvements to their operations ahead of any additions to the code. “Companies are selling chicken like there’s no tomorrow,” Shockley said, and added that corn prices are low, and the recent heat wave may have affected pollination leading to lower yield here on the lower shore. “We’ve got cheap corn, huge demand and 25 percent of the population of the United States within a 12-hour drive. Talk about a market,” Shockley said. “Interest rates are fantastic. The cheaper the down payment, the more that’s going to be built.” Tudor said it would likely take several months before a decision is reached on whether to pursue increased regulations on CAFOs in the county.

New features continue to be delivered at Frontier Town Water park, miniature golf course examined, county water, sewer service added
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 22, 2016) When Frontier Town, Fort Whaley and a third campground in Florida were purchased by Sun Communities for $76.2 million last year, upgrades were promised, and have started to be delivered. But probably one of the most important upgrades coming down the pike is also one of the least palatable — soon, Executive Vice President Jon Colman of Sun Communities said, the entire facility will be running on county water and sewer service. Currently the campgrounds operate on a hybrid model, with some facilities served by county water and sewer and others, like the campgrounds themselves, still using septic systems. Worcester County has a long history of encouraging businesses and residences to tie in to county water in sewer services, rather than use septic systems. “It’s a $5-8 million project,” Colman said. “But that’s just the beginning.” So far this year, Colman said, the sea wall has been replaced, and new signs are popping up everywhere.
Also in the pipeline is relocating and building a new miniature golf course, to be constructed near the ice cream stand, he said. The designs and plans are complete, he continued, but the company is waiting on permits to begin construction. The campground will expand, adding another 100 sites, plus a bathhouse, pavilion, playground and meeting space. Colman said he expects the site plan to be submitted for review by the end of August, but the upgrades won’t be completed until next summer at the earliest. The swimming pool has been upgraded, he said, and a new concession stand/snack bar is in the mix. Also underway is a complete review of the water park, with the first phase of improvements expected next year as well, he said. “The plans for our properties usually go out about three-to-five years,” Colman said. “It’s all part of our initial vision, but it’s going to depend on construction. We’re going to do all we can in the time we have,” he said. The campground is open from the end of March until the end of November. Any heavy construction will need to be completed while the park is closed for the winter, which brings its own concerns about weather and safety, Colman said.

BOARD OF EDUCATION BRIEFS
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) The Worcester County Board of Education discussed the following at its July 19 meeting:
Teacher evaluations Teacher evaluations based on professional practices and student growth are required in Maryland on a yearly basis. Student growth is measured through student learning objectives such as standardized and state tests. Non-tenured teachers have four observations a year, although tenured teachers had different options to show their professional practice objectives, such as mini-observations, portfolio and video artifacts. Forty-eight percent of teachers were considered highly effective and 52 percent were effective in professional practice. In student learning objectives, 58 percent of teachers were highly effective and 41 percent were effective.
Expanding Bridges grant The Expanding Bridges grant, which was awarded to Worcester County Public Schools in August of 2014, is coming to the end of its two-year period. The purpose of this grant was to narrow the achievement gap between students with disabilities and their non-disabled peers from birth to 21 years old through the use of proven but innovative practices.
Forty-nine percent of funds went to instructional coaches. Teachers received training to implement strategies such as specialized instruction and co-teaching in their classrooms. Research-based interventions used 27 percent of the funds and included lessons in math, reading and behavior for students who needed the additional time and support. Professional learning took up about 19 percent of funds. Results show students with disabilities are making more growth than their non-disabled peers.
Showell Elementary School Superintendent Jerry Wilson announced school administrators have been working with architects to develop a conceptual design for a new Showell Elementary School, which is slated to be shown at next month’s meeting.
College, career readiness The Maryland State Legislature passed the College and Career Readiness and College Completion Act of 2013 to ensure all students are ready for college and careers in the areas of English and math by the conclusion of their junior year. Transition courses or remediation modules are required of seniors who are not deemed ready for college or a career based on 11th grade assessment results. In addition, students are Continued on Page 34

Continued from Page 32 retested after the course is completed. The exception is seniors who need every class to graduate and cannot fit these courses into their schedules. The act was implemented because 38.7 percent of adults in the United States and 45.4 percent of Marylanders ages 25-64 have a post-secondary degree. In addition, many countries are surpassing the United States in the percent of young adults with a post-secondary degree and by 2018, 66 percent of jobs in the state will require a postsecondary education. The state goal is 55 percent of Maryland adult’s ages 25-64 will hold at least an associate’s degree by 2025. Currently, the class of 2017 is 60 percent college- and career-ready in English and 35 percent in mathematics. Transition courses for the upcoming school year include WorWic developmental courses, advanced placement courses, SAT Prep through the online Kahn Academy and supplemental tutorial modules to prepare students for Algebra 2, English 11 or Accuplacer.
Promotions Pocomoke Middle School principal Todd Hall will take on responsibilities as the early childhood education specialist. To fill the vacancy left by Hall’s transfer, Pocomoke High School’s Matthew Record will lead the middle school. Snow Hill Middle School Curriculum Resource Teacher Jenifer Rayne will fill the role of extended school program administrator at Pocomoke High School following Record’s departure. “I am honored to recommend these talented, hard working professionals to serve in these new roles,” Wilson said in a release. “I am confi-
dent that each of these leaders will support the success of our students in Pocomoke and across the county.” These changes were approved at the meeting and will take effect August 1.
Board attorney James Almand was reappointed as attorney for the Worcester County Board of Education at the meeting.
Communications survey A communications survey is open to parents in mid-April to early May to measure the quality of school system communication sources, identify the most effective communication sources, refine goals and increase parental involvement in school activities. The survey included questions about specific means of communicating, inclusive of interpersonal interaction, electronic, multimedia, social media and print publications. The survey also asked participants to give an overall rating of communications at the district and school levels. A total of 816 responses were received and this marks the second year it has been administered entirely online. There has been a decline in participation over recent years and access to the internet at home may be the reason. Nearly 94 percent of responders ranked district communications with three stars or higher and 91 percent of participants ranked school level communications with three stars or higher. In the future, email communication will be added to the SchoolMessenger notification system. The website is receiving a redesign to provide improved navigation with hopes to go live by the beginning of the school year.
COUNTY BRIEFS
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) During their meeting on Tuesday, the Worcester County Commissioners approved the purchase of two dump trucks, the addition of a stop sign at a problematic intersection in West Ocean City, and entered into an agreement to investigate a potential alternative energy project
at the central landfill in Newark.
New dump trunks The commissioners approved a bid recommendation from county Public Works Director John Tustin for the purchase of two 10-foot dump trucks at a cost of more than $241,000. Continued on Page 35
Ocean City Today
JULY 22, 2016
PAGE 35
COUNTY BRIEFS Continued from Page 34 The winning bid, and lowest priced among the five submitted, was from Western Star Trucks of Delmarva in Mardela Springs. The next lowest bid was from Freightliner of Delmarva in Salisbury at a cost of more than $248,000. Tustin said that the handful of bids all included minor deviations from the requested specifications, but his department determined none would affect the service abilities of the vehicle. Funding for the acquisition was approved for $247,664 in May using excess funds in the county’s fiscal year 2016 budget.
One, maybe two stops Motorists in West Ocean City will soon see a new four-way stop at the intersection of Sunset Avenue and Golf Course Road. The county will also conduct further studies to consider the
same change at the intersection of Old Bridge Road and Golf Course Road. Public Works Director John Tustin said concerns about traffic, specifically around the harbor area, increase during the summer. Based on requests the county received, Tustin’s department looked at the results of two State Highway Administration traffic studies conducted in West Ocean City during 2005 and 2013. “The one from 2013 was specifically geared to a traffic signal at 611 Sunset Avenue,” he said. “If you extrapolate that information and take it down to Sunset and Golf Course, it does meet the criteria for what used to be called four-way stops, they now call them all-way stops.” The 2005 study, which was conducted at Old Bridge and Golf Course Road, did not meet the required traffic levels at that time, Tustin said. Additional counts will be obtained at the
location to confirm if more congestion is occurring a decade or so later. Commissioner Bud Church, who represents the West Ocean City district, made the motion to approve. “Almost every meeting I attend with the West Ocean City Association there’s a request to get a four-way stop there,” he said. “There have been several really serious accidents at that intersection.”
Renewable energy study The county has entered into an exclusive agreement with Dorchester Renewable Energy in Annapolis to study the possibility of developing an alternative energy project at the central landfill in Newark, following the commissioners’ approval on Tuesday. County Public Works director John Tustin said the initial conversations in the fall of 2015 with Dorchester Renewable representatives involved a
three-year agreement to study a gas and alternative energy project at the central landfill. “At that time you instructed me to go back and negotiate a shorter time frame,” he said. “I met with Tom Koch and Alley Tyler, the managing partners of Dorchester Renewable Energy, and have come to an agreement that one and a half years would be suitable for them to do a study and come up with a possible viable alternative energy project.” The agreement allows DRE to investigate and potentially pursue a venture to commercialize the landfill gas, along with the flare, generator building and the interconnection system with an alternative energy project. As part of the agreement, the county reserves the right to terminate for cause, including, but not limited to, material breach, dishonesty, fraud or criminal activity, the inability to perform, or substandard performance.
POLICE/COURTS
Stealing a car Ocean City police officers arrested Brian Engelmann, 24, of Mastic Beach, New York, Saturday evening after he stole a Jeep and drove it erratically down Coastal Highway as he recorded the incident on the mobile application Snapchat. After responding to a stolen vehicle report at a local nightclub, officers were able to locate the car parked at a condominium building without a suspect. Later in the evening, police received information that Engelmann had posted a series of videos to Snapchat showing him stealing the car and driving erratically, the report stated. In addition, his Snapchat story allegedly showed Engelmann returned to the nightclub. Officers were able to arrest him there with assistance from staff. Ocean City police charged Englemann with vehicle theft, in addition to multiple traffic violations shown in his Snapchat videos including using a
handheld phone while driving, negligent driving, and driving while on a suspended license. Englemann was seen by a Maryland District Court Commissioner and was transferred to the Worcester County Jail on $20,000 bond.
Arrested twice in one day Roger Dennis, 55, of Salisbury was arrested twice in one day for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct followed by another disorderly conduct charge and having an open container. In the early morning hours on Tuesday, an Ocean City police officer responded to a Boardwalk bar after Dennis allegedly pulled his shorts down and exposed himself to employees, bar patrons and juveniles sitting on the sea wall. Shortly afterward Dennis was located and he told officers his shorts fell down and he was having trouble Continued on Page 36

POLICE/COURTS Continued from Page 35 pulling them up, the report stated. At 9 a.m., officers were called to a local restaurant because a patron was being disorderly. That patron was Dennis, who had been released from jail for indecent exposure. According to the police report, he smelled like alcohol and was released from the scene. Police reported Dennis then purchased a beer, headed down to the beach and started disturbing citizens in the area by rolling around in the water and appearing to be too drunk to get out of the ocean.
Heroin, crack cocaine An Ocean City police officer arrested Brian Russell, 28, for having an open container, possession of paraphernalia and the possession of paraphernalia for illegally administering drugs on July 10. Police reported seeing an open con-
tainer of alcohol near Russell before a search uncovered a hypodermic needle and one glass smoking device containing suspected crack cocaine in his pockets.
School bus collision Maryland State Police troopers arrested Kyle Kenney, 21, of Orrtanna, Pennsylvania, for second degree assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, driving while under the Influence, driving while impaired and negligent driving on Wednesday morning after the suspect crashed into a school bus. Police reported Kenney was traveling in the slow lane before he crossed into the fast lane on the Route 50 bridge and hit a school bus with two children inside. Both vehicles continued east and stopped at Philadelphia Ave at Talbot Street. Both vehicles sustained minor damage and no one was injured. After allegedly failing field sobriety tests, Kenney was arrested for driving under the influence.

Junior anglers reel in plethora of fish during tournament
LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Members of the Reel Byte crew hold up the fish they caught during the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 12th annual Kid’s Classic fishing tournament last weekend. They are pictured at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City on Sunday.
Foolish Pleasures Capt. Lisi featured on ‘Wicked Tuna’
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 22, 2016) When the new season of “Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks” airs Monday night at 9 p.m. on National Geographic Channel, many Ocean City area residents and members of the local fishing community will recognize one of the show’s stars. Dale Lisi, captain of the Foolish Pleasures, a 36-foot custom sportfish charter boat based out of the Ocean City Fishing Center in West Ocean City, will be appearing on the latest season of “Wicked Tuna,” where fishermen are on the hunt for lucrative bluefin tuna in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Lisi found out about auditions for “Wicked Tuna” from a friend. Auditions began in October, and after several interviews he found out at the end of November that he was chosen for the show. About 25-30 boat captains auditioned. “We were really excited. Overjoyed,” Lisi, who lives in Ocean Pines, said. For the show, Lisi is joined on his boat by first mate Will “Willbilly” Hathaway and second mate Ed “The Beard” Gross. Both have been mates for Lisi before. He has known Gross

for about 15 years and Hathaway for nearly eight. There was also one cameraman on the boat during filming, who Lisi said was easy to work with, as were the show’s producers. Filming began in February and ended in April. The show features
New England’s best bluefin tuna crews battling a local fleet. There are seven boats highlighted – three representing the north and four the south – and it was “extremely competitive,” Lisi said. Foolish Pleasures is a member of See WICKED Page 40
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 22, 2016) Approximately 350 young anglers participated in the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 12th annual Kid’s Classic fishing tournament last weekend. “It was the biggest tournament we’ve ever had,” Dale Withers, director of the tournament with Gerard Ott, said. “Everybody had a good time. A lot of people look forward to the tournament every year.” The Classic was open to youth 19 and younger. Every angler received a medallion for participating in the contest, held July 16-17. Catches were weighed at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City. Those with the top three heaviest fish in each species category as well as billfish release were presented with additional awards during Sunday’s carnival and banquet. Participants fished from aboard 67 boats. Anglers 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 Assateague Island. Two young anglers fished from shore. “A lot of fish were weighed. Several kids also caught their first marlin,” Withers said. “The weigh-ins were busy, nonstop, both days.” Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Wish-A-Fish Foundation. Its mission is to “provide a little relief for a family from the daily stress of having a child with special needs, such as a life-threatening illness, mental or physical disability, by taking the entire family out for a day of fun and fishing on the water.” The Judith M, Tortuga and Calico Jack took about 60 special needs children, their siblings and friends, as well as those who are underprivileged and disadvantaged out fishing, free of charge last Saturday, courtesy of the Ocean City Marlin Club. The anglers and their families celebrated with a cookout at the Marlin Club after fishing. “All had a great time,” said Frank Goodhart, coordinator of Wish-AFish fishing. Wish-A-Fish will receive about $3,800 through corporate sponsors, service organizations, private donors, tournament participant donations and a 50/50 raffle.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wicked Tunaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;definitely a positive experience,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lisi says Continued from Page 39 the south team. But, despite north and south â&#x20AC;&#x153;teams,â&#x20AC;? it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;more of a free-for-all,â&#x20AC;? he said. While Lisi has fished in the Outer Banks during the winter for bluefin tuna, he said they were sort of â&#x20AC;&#x153;outsiders.â&#x20AC;? Lisi plans to watch the first episode at the Ocean City Marlin Club in West Ocean City with friends and family. He is looking forward to seeing how everything turned out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully we look good. It should be pretty interesting. I have no idea because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see anything in advance,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reality show. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty real. What you see is what happened. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more real than what I expected.â&#x20AC;? Lisi doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the final outcome/results, but he did say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody on the show was happy with what they caught.â&#x20AC;? The biggest challenge for the fleet was the weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of storms to deal
with. The wind blew almost the whole time out there,â&#x20AC;? Lisi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was cold and rough when we were out there, which is one of the main things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see on the show.â&#x20AC;? The 10-episode season debuts on Monday at 9 p.m. on National Geographic Channel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great time doing it,â&#x20AC;? Lisi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely a positive experience.â&#x20AC;? On the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, watch a video tour of the Foolish Pleasures, meet the crew and learn a little more about Lisi, who discusses how he lost an arm in a boating accident in 1992. And, despite the adversity, Lisi has had much success as a charter boat captain, placing on the leader board in many competitions including Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s White Marlin Open and Tuna Tournament.

Huk Big Fish Classic slated for July 29-31
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 22, 2016) Thirty-two boats entered the inaugural Big Fish Classic in 2014, and a total of $92,920 was paid out to tournament winners. Last year, with performance fishing apparel company, Huk, as the 2015 Big Fish Classic title sponsor, participation increased and prize money paid out to the winners more than doubled, as 46 boats registered and $202,000 was awarded. Organizers expect an even larger turnout and more prize money dis-
tributed during the third annual competition, scheduled for July 29-31. “We have several new participants from Virginia Beach and New Jersey. We’re anticipating between 60 and 70 boats this year, based on early registration,” Brian Roberts, co-organizer of the tournament, said. “With good weather, we’re anticipating a $400,000 purse.” Pre-registration is up 20 percent from last year and 75 percent of those signed up are tournament newcomers. Teams can choose between two
32-hour slots: 7 a.m. Friday, July, 29 to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 30, or 7 a.m. Saturday, July 30 to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 31. 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. “Fishing overnight is the advantage part of it. It allows participants to produce some big fish,” Roberts said. Registration is currently open. Final signups will take place Thursday, July 28, from 4-8 p.m. at M.R.

Big Fish Classic includes billfish release this year Continued from Page 41 combined total weight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a hit last year so we added another level [for $700],â&#x20AC;? Roberts said. A billfish release calcutta has also been added this year. The cost to enter is $1,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We added it for conservation purposes and we had some interest in it as well,â&#x20AC;? Roberts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows teams to go out and catch and release billfish. Now the release division allows us to recognize those teams. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also preparation for the White Marlin Open (Aug. 8-12).â&#x20AC;? 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 during the 2016 tournament. All fish must be weighed at the Talbot Street Pier. Tournament weigh-ins will take place from 4-9 p.m., Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30. The scale, located between M.R. Ducks and the Angler, will be open from 4-8 p.m. Sunday, July 31. Weigh-ins are free and open to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting to see some pretty big fish and a ton of fish to come to the scale, especially with the stringer category,â&#x20AC;? Roberts said. The BFC tournament village will feature activities for children, food, music, vendors and event merchandise. The village will open at 3 p.m. DJ BK will be the emcee during tournament weigh-ins. Tournament proceeds will again benefit Diakonia, a residence in West Ocean City that provides emergency and transitional housing, food services, counseling and assistance to its guests; as well as the Ocean City Reef Foundation, an organization committed to the enhancement of local marine habitat through the creation and monitoring of artificial reef systems; and the Billfish Foundation, which is dedicated to conserving and enhancing billfish populations around the world.

Over the last two years, tournament organizers have presented over $20,000 to charity organizations. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Classic was featured on Sportsman Channel and the World Fishing Network on Huk Performanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Money Fish.â&#x20AC;? Filming for the show will take place during the tournament this year as well. 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. For more information, visit www.bigfishclassic.com.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) In conjunction with the United States Specialty Sports Association’s (USSSA) Eastern World Series, a beach bash kickoff party will take place in Ocean City at the inlet on Monday, July 25, for players, coaches and their families. Teams will begin arriving around 3 p.m. followed by a 45-minute beach parade starting at 4 p.m. where players and coaches will walk around the inlet area and across a stage carrying banners and flags while their family watches. DJ Wookie from OC 104 is slated to broadcast live from the event and teams will hang around after the parade to eat pizza and play games including KanJam, spike ball, ladder toss and bear pong. There will be a couple guest speakers such as Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver, Mayor Rick Meehan and others from Worcester County. Close to 5,000 softball players are expected to participate in games until July 30 in Worcester County, including Ocean City and Wicomico County. “The USSSA Eastern World Series is the end of the road for these teams, which means it is an intense competitive atmosphere, and they are going for national championship titles,” said James Simmons, an MAASA representative. “The players, coaches and parents have put so much into their season to get to this point and participating in this event is a testament to their talent and dedication to the sport.” The event draws more than 350 teams from 14 states and Canada during the three weeks of festivities. In Worcester County, games are scheduled to be played at John Walter Smith Park, the North Worcester Athletic Complex, the Showell Recreation Complex, Stephen Decatur High School and middle schools, as well as Northside Park. Tournaments are open to the public and free. “Teams playing in this tournament are among the most talented in the nation,” Simmons said. “Girls who have played in USSSA events in the past have moved on to play professionally. The public is welcome to attend these games to check out the up-and-coming talent in the world of softball.” For more information and a schedule of games, check out www.SalisburyChampionships.org.

T.C. Studios paints new picture Business venture brings color to downtown OC; grand opening July 29
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) The OC Painting Experience, which seeks to provide family fun for all ages, is the brainchild of T.C. Studios owners, Jamie and Alexandra Jacobs, who are located on 15th Street and Philadelphia Avenue. Through the use of a featured painting, participants are guided from start to finish, with musical accompaniment, along with snippets of commentary sharing fun facts and trivia. Some nights the group will come to a consensus on what will be painted and other times the theme is sketched out on the canvas for participants before the class starts. “During our later classes we try to be more spontaneous and let the participants pick what they want to paint,” Jamie Jacobs said. “When it’s already sketched out on the paper, we will come around and give tips while the music is playing. It’s all about keeping everyone occupied and relaxed. They come in and have an experience.” In addition to paintings, T.C. Studios offers classes on painting wooden decorative signs, wine glasses and beer mugs. “We are creating new stuff every day—it’s more than canvas,” Jacobs said. “People want to come in and put

They come here and actually can.” Classes generally take an average of 90 minutes and provide an alternative to other activities in Ocean City, such as visiting the beach or playing miniature golf. Currently, T.C. Studios is open seven days a week and is putting on three classes a day, normally morning, afternoon and nighttime. “We are trying out different times to
see what works for everyone and have a featured painting each day,” Jacobs said. Next Friday, July 29, the studio will have a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony beginning at 4 p.m. The ribbon will be cut at 4:30 p.m. followed by a painting experience where attendees can add color to sketch drawings on canvas into the evening hours.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (July 22, 2016) The National Association of Realtors recently announced that the U.S. Senate passed H.R. 3700, the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act, by unanimous consent. Its press release stated that this legislation includes reforms to current Federal Housing Administration restrictions on condominium financing, among other provisions, and has been supported by the National Association of Realtors. The announcement further stated that changes include efforts to make FHA’s recertification process “substantially less burdensome,” while lowering FHA’s current owner-occupancy requirement from 50 percent to 35 percent. NAR testified last year in support of the bill, which passed in the House of Representatives 427-0 in February. Quoted in the news release, Tom Salomone, president of NAR and broker-owner of Real Estate II Inc. in Coral Springs, Florida, praised the legislation as a significant step towards eliminating barriers to safe, affordable mortgage credit for condos. His statement read: “Condominiums often represent an affordable option that’s just right for first-time and low-to-moderate income homebuyers. Unfortunately, overly-burdensome restrictions on condo financing have for too long put that option out of reach for many creditworthy borrowers. This legislation meets those restrictions head on, putting the dream of homeownership back in reach for more Americans. Tight inventory and rising home prices are a reality of today’s market, and mortgage credit is hard to come by. We should take every opportunity to clear the path for well-qualified borrowers to purchase a home when they’re ready, and this legislation does just that.” NAR stated that “Senators Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) have done tremendous work to see H.R. 3700 move forward, and we’re thankful for their support. Realtors made their voices heard as well, reaching out to their Senators and Representatives to remind them of how important this issue is to See LAW Page 46

Donations will be collected during the event for the Art League of Ocean City on 94th Street, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the visual arts to the community through education, exhibits, scholarship programs and public service projects. Jamie and Alexandra Jacobs started their T.C. Studios brand about three years ago, which began as a traveling mobile studio based out of Baltimore. They visited Ocean City this past March for the Metro Maryland Youth for Christ Impact Conference with their mobile studio and decided to check out locations in the resort. “We went into different restaurants and businesses. Talked to Avi [Sibony] at Sunsations and sketched for OC Steamers,” Jacobs said. “Murals attracted us to Ocean City. We realized people want to do murals or update them. It’s the new advertisement for restaurants. What can make me look different or stand out from the competition on both sides of us?” They checked out the Art League of Ocean City and learned about the Ocean City Development Corporation’s initiative of painting utility boxes

After doing research, the Jacobs realized there was no other painting studio in town and comparable services were all far away. “There is nothing like this around,” Jacobs said. “It is very popular in Baltimore and we had a lot of competition.” The activity is great for bachelorette parties, office team building, family parties, date nights, fundraisers, senior groups, birthday parties, kids paint nights and church and youth groups.

We’ve had a couple repeat customers. People leave feeling like they want to try more.” Bulgarian and Russian students are currently working inside the studio to create an Ocean City mural that contains both color and black and white sections. Look forward to “Sip and Paint” nights at the Fenwick Inn, other local hotels and restaurants in the near future. In the next couple of weeks, visitors can purchase kits to take home or try out on the beach, which include easels, a little pallet, paints, a cup, brushes and a canvas sketched out.

the fact that FHA loans are for primary residences only. But, any rule, guideline or legislation that comes out that eases the restrictions on obtaining a mortgage is ultimately good for everyone.” Lauren Bunting is a licensed Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

The Big Easy on 60 brings Cajun flare to landmark
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) The Hall family reinvented their property on 60th Street by adding a New Orleans flare featuring Cajun and southern foods on the menu when it officially opened July 12. Renamed The Big Easy on 60, Owner Mark Hall always felt the building had a southern plantation look to it and wanted to serve foods that are hard to find in other Ocean City restaurants. “We closed for a year to figure it out and we thought the most feasible was to remodel, rebrand and reinvent what we are doing here,” Hall said. “We decided to bring something different and not do what everyone else is doing: New Orleans flare with music and Cajun food.” Two popular starters include duck wings, which are tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce of brown sugar, sriracha and hot sauce in addition to the fried green tomatoes topped with a crab meat remoulade. “The duck wings are unique and different,” General Manager Lewis Sherman said. “We haven’t seen it around and it’s tossed in our special Big Easy sauce.” Customers may want to try the deviled eggs topped with bacon and crab meat. The mussels served in a mix of andouille sausage, tomatoes, red onions and garlic are also a hit. Other appetizer options include buffalo oysters, creole crab dip, fried okra, steamed shrimp, ribs in a Big Easy barbecue sauce and steamed clams. “The mussels are awesome and you can eat deviled eggs any day of the week,” Sherman said. “All our sauces are made from scratch. We are a fromscratch-kitchen.” The menu features a dozen entrées from traditional New Orleans favorites including jambalaya, etouffee and blackened catfish to southern preferences

such as shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles. Crab cakes, prime rib, half a roasted chicken, Cajun fried chicken, braised short rib, a catch of the day, and the Cajun ribeye finish out the entrée options on the menu. “We wanted to present unique foods and get people to try something different,” Sherman said. “We are always open to making changes on our menu or substituting a side.” In addition to entrées, the restaurant offers a range of Po’ Boy sandwiches including Joe’s Big Easy with Cajun roast beef dipped in brown gravy, a Cajun coleslaw, pickles, tomatoes and piquant sauce served on bread from Crack of Dawn Bakery. Other Po’ Boy options are the gobbler with turkey, coleslaw, tomatoes, pickles and a creole mustard sauce or fried oyster, fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried catfish or veggie. The menu also has soups, salads,
burgers and a couple sandwiches served on Crack of Dawn bread out of Berlin. Desserts include pecan pie, chef’s choice bread pudding, beignets and mud pie, which is an Oreo cookie crust, coffee ice cream, whipped cream and chopped walnuts. “We try to keep our prices in the $15 to $25 range,” Hall said. “We want people to feel they ate good food for their money.” Happy hour takes place Monday through Friday from 2-6 p.m. in the entire restaurant and includes $3 domestic bottles, $4 house wine, $4 rail drinks, $4 craft beers, $4 craft and import bottles and $5 crushes and hurricanes. There are four craft beers on tap: Abita Purple Haze, Burley Oak, Evolution and RAR, which will all change flavors with the exception of Abita from New Orleans.

CAR donates $500 to assist West Virginia flood victims (July 22, 2016) The Coastal Association of Realtors (CAR) donated $500 to the West Virginia Realtor Relief Fund to aid in recovery efforts following last month’s historic flooding that killed at least 26 people, displaced about 1,500 families, and shuttered many businesses. The Maryland Association of Realtors (MAR) donated $10,000 to the fund and put out a call to all local associations, asking them to assist by donating funding or supplies. The money collected by the West Virginia Association of Realtors (WVAR) through its Relief Fund will assist displaced residents with mortgage payments, rental assistance, and repairs. WVAR has also identified member coordinators in each of the state’s heavily impacted areas in order to keep the association updated on supply needs. “Being from the Lower Eastern Shore, we all know how devastating
weather events can be,” CAR President Linda Moran said. “As Realtors, we help people find their homes. Over 1,500 families in West Virginia have just lost their homes, and they need help. We are more than happy to assist with these recovery efforts, and we encourage others to do the same.” CAR has asked its members to make monetary donations to the West Virginia Realtor Relief Fund. Any members of the public who would also like to help can mail a donation to the West Virginia Realtor Relief Fund, 2110 Kanawha Boulevard E., Charleston, West Virginia 25311. The West Virginia Realtor Relief Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Call the WVAR office at 304-342-7600 for the organization’s 501(c)3 credentials.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) Trimper’s Rides, an Ocean City Boardwalk mainstay, is the oldest family-owned amusement park in the world. “It’s pretty exciting and something I never imagined could possibly happen,” said the company’s operations manager, Brooks Trimper. “We were always happy and content with being a huge part of Ocean City’s history—let alone the world. We are very excited here.” Last April, Trimper’s Rides was highlighted on Fox Business Network’s “Strange Inheritance,” an alternative program featuring people who have inherited out-of-the-ordinary items. During filming, Jim Futrell, a historian for the National Amusement Park Historical Foundation, told the Trimpers he believed they had the oldest family-owned amusement park in the country, but after further research, it was discovered the family owned the oldest in the entire world. “It is something we are pretty proud of.

Trimper: ‘We see generations of families’ visit amusements Continued from Page 49 amusements,” Trimper said. “This is the first time anything worldwide has been associated with our name.” Futrell sent the Trimpers a list of the world’s oldest amusement parks, which listed the Ocean City staple second oldest of family-owned parks behind Blackgang Chine, although the United Kingdom park did not add amusement rides and evolve into a theme park until the 1960s, which is decades after Trimper’s Rides opened in Ocean City. “We were shocked to hear and very proud, but also a little sad other amusements have shut down or sold out to larger corporations,” Trimper said. “We were very happy to be in the top two and will continue on providing amusements for generations to come.” Daniel and Margaret Trimper fell in love with Ocean City, sold their properties in Baltimore and opened Trimper’s Rides and Amusements in 1893. Trimper’s famous carousel was purchased in 1912 and uniquely crafted, which was its first main, large attraction. Today, it’s classified as one of the oldest operating carousels in the nation. The merry-go-round has 45 animals, three chariots and one rocking
chair including horses, a cat, dog, frog, rooster, deer, goat, lion, tiger, ostrich, pig and dragon. By the 1920s, the Trimpers added a smaller carousel and a kiddie Ferris wheel followed by outdoor rides in the 1950s. The most popular ride in the outdoor park is the Tidal Wave roller coaster, purchased in 1985. Among the other 35 or more rides are the Himalaya, Rock and Roll Matterhorn and Balloon ride. Visitors can play games such as Frog Bog and Whac-A-Mole or check out the retail shopping area at the inlet including the Frog Bar and Harrison’s Harbor Watch, which was added in 1983. “The tradition. We see generations of families. Grandmothers bringing their grandkids to ride on the same horses they rode on with their grandparents and taking the same pictures,” Trimper said. “There are a lot of families on the Eastern Shore who have the tradition to ride our rides.” During the summertime, Trimper’s Rides at the Inlet opens at noon on Saturdays and Sundays. Indoor rides open at 1 p.m. and outdoor rides at 3 p.m. on the weekdays.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21
It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes. Trust your gut instincts, and you probably will not go wrong this week.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future.

‘Fastest Server on Da Beach’ title up for grabs By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 22, 2016) Seacrets will host its seventh annual “Cool Runnin’s Fastest Server on Da Beach” contest on Tuesday, July 26, with area bartenders, waiters and waitresses putting their balancing skills on display as they weave through an obstacle course. Participants will race through the 49th Street establishment’s beach obstacle course carrying a tray of drinks including a bottle of Tropicale beer, a glass of wine and a can of Red Bull as they compete for a first-place prize package worth $1,000. “Having the onlookers get that energy going makes it more exciting,” said Christine Komlos, event organizer and Seacrets’ front-of-house manager. Spectators are encouraged to come watch the action and enjoy $5 Sunday Rumday Seacrets spirits specials in the contest area. There is no cover charge. “We are having the Seacrets rum
specials just for the contest on Tuesday,” Komlos said. Seacrets rum specials include shots, mixed drinks and specialty drinks while the contest is going on. Proceeds will be donated to Believe in Tomorrow’s Children’s House by the Sea, a nonprofit organization providing 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. “Proceeds go to Believe in Tomorrow, which is most important to me,” Komlos said. “Restaurants and businesses come together to have a day for them. It’s a community feeling and they are competing for a really good cause.” Last year, around 70 people participated in the contest with LJ Urie from Seacrets edging out 2014’s winner, “Fast Eddie” Clark from BJ’s on the Water, to take home first place. Seacrets raised $1,200 for Believe in Tomorrow and close to 300 people
attended to watch the action. The obstacle course takes servers one at a time, up a hill in front of Seacrets’ Beach Stage and back as they dodge tires, chairs, posts, navigate a kiddie pool and go under a limbo stick. The entire time, waiters and waitresses carry a tray filled with a Tropicale bottle, a wine glass and a can of Red Bull. “We are coming up with something different [for the obstacle course] and it will be a surprise,” Komlos said. Servers cannot touch the tray with their other hand and if anything falls
over they are disqualified. The fastest time wins and the firstplace finisher will take home a prize package worth $1,000 in gift cards, cash donations from local businesses and Seacrets spirits, beers and merchandise. In addition, the winner will receive a ticket for a chance at $10,000 from the annual Believe in Tomorrow fundraiser. The top three finishers will receive a trophy in addition to cash and prizes donated from local businesses. All participants will receive a See CONTEST Page 57

Contest to benefit Believe in Tomorrow’s Children’s House Continued from Page 55 souvenir T-shirt. In addition, Believe in Tomorrow volunteers will be onsite selling 50/50 raffle tickets and merchandise, such as T-shirts and wristbands throughout the event, which starts at 12:30 p.m. and lasts until the last server has run the course, Komlos said. “It’s a fun day at Seacrets, they do a nice job and it has grown a little bit every year,” said Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program. “My volunteers love it and I never have trouble getting people to sign up. They [Seacrets staff] completely support us and 100 percent of the proceeds are given to Believe in Tomorrow.” Since the contest’s inception, Seacrets has donated approximately $8,000 to the nonprofit organiza-
tion, Littleton said. Organizers of the event are still looking for cash donations, merchandise or gift cards from bars, restaurants and businesses to fill the prize packages for winners. “It is a great team feeling bringing the town together,” Komlos said. “Go out and have a good time. Watch the contest and hang out with Seacrets in the background.” Registration starts at 11:30 a.m. for the Cool Runnin’s Fastest Server on Da Beach contest. The $20 registration fee will benefit the Believe in Tomorrow Foundation. Waiters, waitresses and bartenders must work in the Ocean City or surrounding areas and be 21 or older to participate.

Festival to include prayer, music and praise, July 25-27 Continued from Page 58 when a visitor had the idea to bring a three-day Christian celebration to Ocean City. The event draws a couple thousand people who stop along the Boardwalk and beach to watch the festivities or concerts taking place on the Caroline Street Stage. “We have a few hundred in the convention center and the same amount at one time on the beach,” Steger said. “Over the course of the event, it can be much more because people line the Boardwalk and beach.” Steger also said that Jesus at the Beach is a great opportunity for people who want to become a believer or for others to receive prayer and council. There will be Town of Ocean City fireworks displays on Monday and Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. Jesus at the Beach kicks off with a prayer service at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 24, at Son’Spot Ministries on Worcester Street in downtown Ocean City. Visitors are also invited to gather at the convention center and on the beach 30 minutes before each event for prayer. There is plenty of free parking at

ON GUARD
Ability to scan guard’s most important skill Job to survey and identify possible problems and use info to minimize any threats
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (July 22, 2016) This is the time of the year we have been waiting for. Summer is in full swing and the beach is packed with vacationers. Surf rescue technicians (SRTs) have been kept extremely busy these past couple of weeks. The SRTs look out from their stands at hundreds of people swimming in the water and enjoying themselves on the beach. People often ask, “How can the lifeguards possibly watch everyone?” Although SRTs cannot watch every single person for every single sec-
ond, they are trained to watch over the beach patrons on their beach in an effective and efficient way that allows them to see any potential problems before they manifest themselves. Of all the equipment and skills an SRT brings to the beach each day for work, their ability to scan is the most important. An SRT’s scan refers to their ability to visually survey and identify possible problems and to use this information to minimize any threat to beach patrons. This same scanning skill was used along all 10 miles of Ocean City beach to search the tens of thousands of people on the beach to lo-
cate and return over 100 lost individuals on a typical July 4 weekend. SRTs are trained in the Surf Rescue Academy to seek out non-swimmers before they even enter the water. SRTs are trained to watch the body language and swimming ability of everyone in their water and on their beach. For example, beach patrons who are facing shore or heading toward shore are to be watched more closely. An example of some questions an SRT might ask themselves about a swimmer facing shore are: “Are they having any trouble coming back to the beach? Are they becoming tired and making no progress?” SRTs use a combination of the information they have about the water they guard and the information they gather from the behavior of the people they watch to keep everyone safe. SRTs are responsible for the entire area around their guard stand including all water and beach area from the stand to their north to the stand to their south including the beach and dune area behind them. This method of constantly looking for any signs of infractions, emergencies or situations needing their attention is an active process and assures that every person is being watched by at least two SRTs at all times. This scan is the SRT’s primary tool that enables them to do their job effectively and is one of the most critical skills a guard can develop to help keep everyone safe. It is a proactive tool rather than a reactive response. The SRT’s scan is composed of a primary and secondary scan. The primary scan includes the entire area from the guard tower to the north (left) of all the water and beach east of the guard stands to the guard tower to the south (right). The secondary scan includes the entire beach and all beach patrons west of the guard stands. Ninety percent of the guard’s time is spent in primary scan with a less frequent scan to the west. SRTs are trained to recognize and respond to potential problems before they develop and proactively minimize the danger to their patrons. By maintaining an alert scan, the SRT will be able to warn people away from potential danger (such as a rip current) before the person becomes a victim needing to be rescued and can follow-up by educating the same patrons about the safest places to swim on their beach or potential beach hazards. In the past few weeks, dangerous marine life has been in the news at other beaches, while here in Ocean City our SRT’s are constantly on the watch for any and all possible dangers. That is another reason you should only swim on a guarded beach.
In fact, the scan becomes such a part of the individual lifeguard that many past guards comment that they are unable to relax on any beach without constantly scanning. Unlike a police officer, firefighter or paramedic, who are dispatched to assist people in need of their services after the 911 center receives a call, the SRT is responsible to determine the need for assistance and then respond appropriately. Although technology has impacted many areas of public safety, surf lifesaving has seen the least amount of change. When an emergency occurs it is the training and vigilant scan of the SRT that identifies the problem, analyzes the situation and may result in the SRT’s decision to use their physical ability to make the proper intervention. Because of these requirements, each employee must pass a rigorous pre-employment physical skills test to assure they can meet the running and swimming criteria. Successful candidates attend a Surf Rescue Academy where they learn the various surveillance skills necessary to maintain an active and efficient visual scan. The Lifeguard’s vision is so unique that the Discovery Network has done a short story on it which can be accessed on You Tube at the following address https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =aarebbRFZo0 or search “lifeguard vision.” The SRT is very busy assuring everyone’s safety in the water as well as on the beach while at the same time being responsible for enforcing all the laws, ordinances and rules. Please know and obey all of the beach ordinances (posted at street ends and on every guard stand) so your SRT is not taken from their primary role and has to remind adults of the laws about activities such as drinking and smoking which they most likely are already aware of. The job is made easier when they have your patience, understanding and assistance. So please help the SRT out and remember, if you hear a whistle take the time to stop what you are doing and look toward the SRT who is attempting to get someone’s attention. It may be you. The ocean and beach are wonderful places to enjoy a summer day, just remember that the SRT is trying to assure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience and may need to remind you about some of the rules. If you need help on the beach or in the water, you should wave your arms over your head indicating to the SRT that you need their assistance. To help keep you safe, always check in with the SRT on the stand and remember, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Jamaican jerk chicken with American twist Rum, malt vinegar and lime juice may not be traditional, but give recipe complexity
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (July 22, 2016) Gentle breezes put me at ease and allow the daily stress to drift to a point of no return. The warm sand cushions my tired body and encourages harmony from within. I close my eyes and children’s laughter is being swept away by the waves of summer fun. Seagull’s conversations seem to becoming more distant. At last my mind falls asleep and I can become one with myself. Before I know it, my mind has tiptoed to another place and time. I hear the captain saying, “Thank you for flying Caribbean Airlines, as always we appreciate your business. On behalf of the crew, we hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Jamaica. Flight attendants please prepare for landing.” My curiosity and fascination is way ahead of this mechanical bird. Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean Sea, about 90 miles south of Cuba. The island is comparable in size to Connecticut and is made up of coastal lowlands, a limestone plateau and the Blue Mountains. This varied
terrain allow for a diversity of growing conditions that produce a wide variety of crops and lend credence to the theme of Jamaican culture. The tropical climate of Jamaica and its miles of white beaches make it one of the most alluring islands in the Caribbean. Another popular attraction that I must check out is the island’s more than 800 caves, many of which were home to the earliest inhabitants. As a culinary writer, exploration of cookery is understood. I am able to travel the world by way of recipes, customs and history. Before Christopher Columbus landed in Jamaica in 1492, the original inhabitants of the island were called the Arawaks. Some of the popular food that was grown consisted of spinach-like plants, papayas and guava. They also produced maize, potatoes, peanuts, peppers and beans. As we continue our decent, it dawns on me that the Arawaks roasted seafood and meat on a grate suspended on four-forked sticks called a barbacoa, which believe it or not is the origin of Western barbecue. Specifics equate more knowledge. The warm waters of the Caribbean
Sea surrounding the island showcase a menu that is plentiful in seafood. Lobster, shrimp, red snapper, tuna, mackerel and jackfish are just a few examples of the bounties of the sea. Fruits grow extremely well in Jamaica’s tropical climate. Mangoes, pineapple, papaya, bananas, guava, coconuts, ackee and plantains are quite popular. Ackee is the national fruit if Jamaica and is a soft, mild, creamy flesh. But if the fruit is forced open before it is ripe, it gives out a toxic gas poisonous enough to kill. I check the time and we’re right on schedule. Pretty soon I will be basking in the sun, sipping on a Mojito, and devouring Jamaican jerk chicken. This distinctive spicy dish is Jamaica’s national dish. It is seasoned with Scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, onions and garlic. Then the meat is wrapped in pimento leaves and cooked slowly for approximately 8 hours. My mouth is watering for the sizzling tender meat. Jamaican jerk chicken is a staple at beachfront restaurants, but one hasn’t had real Jamaican jerk chicken unless they go to Jamaica. I must add that the ambiance of the festive island certainty adds to the overall experience. As we are approaching the runway, I am mesmerized by the gorgeous

water. My tiny window does not hinder the endless view. The closer we get to land, the faster the spectacular whirlwind of scenery flashes in front of me. I can see the reflection of the landing gear starting to emerge. All of a sudden I feel as if I am leaving Jamaica without even arriving. As I turn my head, I hear faint screams of laughter. The crisp, cool air is suddenly hot and humid. I look up and see billowy clouds moving ever so slightly. The smell of salt air permeates my entire surroundings and a seagull has become my best friend. I realize that pleasant dreams have filled my repertoire of foodery fantasy.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Ingredients 3 tablespoons dark rum 2 tablespoons water ½ cup malt vinegar 8 green onions, coarsely chopped 5 cloves garlic, peeled 2 tablespoons dried thyme 2 tablespoons dried rosemary 2 Scotch bonnet chiles with seeds, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 teaspoons ground allspice 4 teaspoons ground ginger 4 teaspoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar 2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup ketchup 3 tablespoons soy sauce 3 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ cup fresh lime juice 6 pounds of chicken legs, wings and thighs 1. Blend all of the ingredients except for the chicken in a blender. Make sure the mixture is fully incorporated. 2. Place chicken evenly in a glass rectangular pan. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure the entire surface of the meat is covered. Cover tightly with tin foil and marinate for two days. Turn chicken every 12 hours. 3. Prepare charcoal grill for cooking. When the coals have a white coating, they are ready. Place chicken directly on the grill rack and allow to get a nice char but not burnt. Remember you will be cooking the chicken for at least 35 minutes depending on the size of the chicken. Turn the meat over and repeat this process. Cover and cook the chicken until it is fully cooked, turning occasionally. Secret Ingredient - Love. “And what is as important as knowledge? Asked the mind.

Ceremony held to recognize students’ accomplishments (July 22, 2016) The public is invited to join Worcester County Economic Development (WCED) and elected officials at the Performing Arts Center on 40th Street in Ocean City, Thursday, July 28, at 2 p.m. to recognize the accomplishments of 58 Worcester County middle school, high school, and university students who participated in the WCED Step Up and Reach for the Stars STEM summer programs. During the ceremony, students will discuss their individual and team experiences in one of the three STEM programs and how those experiences may affect their future academic and career goals. “Step Up and Reach for the Stars offers our youth an invaluable opportunity to connect with local businesses as their future workforce,” WCED Director Merry Mears said. “Employers have the opportunity to recognize and groom local talent, and students receive hands-on experience within organizations they wouldn’t have access to otherwise.” Summer STEM programs provide students with a platform to learn from professionals and entrepreneurs in their own communities and affords employers the opportunity to home grow their future workforce. The programs engage local students in the
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The two-week Reach for the Stars STEM Camp is an engineering camp focused on robotics, computer programming and aerospace concepts. The eight-week STEP UP Internship program provides high school and college students with hands-on work experience in STEM career fields. This program connects Worcester County STEM businesses with their future workforce and allows students to apply classroom knowledge to real life tasks. Internships in 2016 included placements in healthcare settings, IT companies, engineering firms, environmental agencies and digital media production companies. The STEM Leadership Cohort, a new program that launched this summer, provided a bridge to students from the camp program to the internship program. Students attended professional development sessions to learn professional “soft skills” and were tasked with assignments from employers to familiarize them with the type of work they may do as interns. “The Worcester County Economic Development STEM summer programs are a true continuum, meaning that we are reaching students at three

Ocean City earns title of HEAL City during conference Goal to help Marylanders lead quality, healthy lives
(July 22, 2016) At the end of last month while the Maryland Municipal League conference was being held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street in Ocean City, the Town of Ocean City was awarded the title of a HEAL City as it joins the HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign for the Mid-Atlantic, which champions local government policies that improve access to healthy foods and physical activity in both small and large communities throughout Maryland and Virginia. Maryland now has the 26th highest adult obesity rate in the nation, according to The State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America. Maryland’s adult obesity rate is 29.6 percent, up from 19.6 percent in 2000 and from 10.8 percent in 1990. The HEAL – healthy eating and active living – Cities & Towns Campaign wants all Marylanders to live high quality, healthy lives and the current rates of obesity and overweight threaten that goal. Overweight and obesity are among the leading risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and some types of cancer. HEAL policies set forth a framework to create a community where all people can make healthy choices to eat nutritious food and be physically active. “We recognized this as a unique opportunity to incorporate healthy eating and active living policies into our local projects and long-term planning process,” Ocean City Recreation and Parks Director Susan Petito said. “We are excited to become a HEAL Town and maximize free resources that can benefit our citizens and the wellbeing of our entire community.” Petito thanks the Ocean City Mayor and City Council for recognizing the value of healthy eating and active living in Ocean City with their support of the HEAL Cities initiative, as well as their recognition that Recreation and Parks and other town departments offer an exceptional quality of life for residents and visitors. “Kudos go to Recreation Superintendent Kate Gaddis and our amazing recreation team in doing the heavy lifting to qualify the town as a HEAL City,” Petito said. “This will continue to be a city-wide team effort involving many members of the town’s staff to initiate healthy eating and living at our various facilities, as well as tie in the efforts of the Green Team, and other partners.” As part of the HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign, the Institute for Public Health Innovation provides See FOCUS Page 71

This year’s book sale has well over 10,000 books, all of which have been donated by patrons of the library. The biggest single category is fiction and the Friends of the Ocean Pines Library volunteers have sorted the books alphabetically for ease of ref-
erence. Nonfiction categories include gardening, sports, history, travel, biographies, nature, health, family, pets and science fiction. There are also many holiday-related craft books, and cookbooks covering every imaginable genre. Many of these books are donated in pristine condition and would make wonderful holiday gifts for the readers in any family. There will be a children’s corner with books for the youngest readers. In addition, there will be CDs, DVDs for adults and children, and audio books among the offerings. Finally, there will be a variety of coffee table books covering such topics as photography, architecture and world history. The sale starts on Friday, July 22, from 6-8 p.m. for members only of the Friends of the Ocean Pines Li-
brary, but participants may join at the door for $5 (individual membership) and $10 (family membership). On Saturday, July 23, hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and open to the public. On Monday, July 25, hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and also open to the public. Monday’s sale has the added benefit of all books being sold at half price. This 2016 sale is the single biggest source of income for the Friends. The funds are used to help the Ocean Pines library in many ways, including upgrades of the computer system and electronic equipment. The FOPL tends the garden outside the library and supports children and adult reading programs. The library is located at 11107 Cathell Road, next to the Ocean Pines Post Office and across from the Sports Core Pool.

OC HEAL CITY Last month, Ocean City was awarded the title of a HEAL City as it joins the HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign for the Mid-Atlantic, which champions local government policies that improve access to healthy foods and physical activity in both small and large communities throughout Maryland and Virginia. Ocean City Recreation and Parks Director Susan Petito holds the plaque.
Continued from Page 69 free training, support and technical policy assistance to municipal leaders. This includes analyzing current policies that impact healthy living for citizens, suggesting ways to update such policies to increase access to HEAL and updating administrative procedures to help make the healthy choice the easy choice for municipal employees. The HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign supports local elected officials to adopt policies that create healthy, prosperous communities. A Healthy Eating Active Living City or Town is a municipality that sets forth a framework or vision to create a community where all people can make healthy choices to eat nutritious food and be physically active. “At the Institute for Public Health Innovation, we know that creating policies that address healthy living at a local level is critical to addressing the personal, collective, and economic impact of obesity in our region,” said Susan DeFrancesco, director of the HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign for the Mid-Atlantic. “We’re confident we can make great headway by partnering with Ocean City officials to benefit the lives of Ocean City’s residents and employees.”
Participation in the HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign is free, due to support from the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States. The HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign for the Mid-Atlantic is part of a growing national campaign that is currently taking place in California, Colorado, and Oregon. The Institute for Public Health Innovation embarked on this initiative in 2012 in strategic partnership with the Maryland and Virginia Municipal Leagues. For more information, visit www.healmidatlantic.org or contact DeFrancesco at 202-747-3512 x1059, 240-252-2016 or at sdefrancesco@institutephi.org. Follow @HEALMidAtlantic on Twitter.

Food trucks provide options during Freeman Stage shows (July 22, 2016) As a way to enhance its patrons’ experience and to expand dining options, The Freeman Stage at Bayside, in Selbyville, Delaware, has partnered with local food trucks this season. At numerous performances this summer, patrons will be able to choose from a variety of food trucks — which include Kona Ice, Taco Reho, Sea Hogg Street Eats & Catering, Rosenfeld’s Roadside Jewish Deli and Grotto Pizza — in addition to the offerings at the Stage Cafe. Shows may have up to three trucks at a performance, depending on the number of patrons. Molly Williams, manager of Sales and Patron Experience for the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation, the fundraising arts nonprofit which runs The Freeman Stage, said the decision to have food trucks this season was to help create a better food and beverage experience for patrons. The Cafe also expanded with the addition of two service windows. “The Stage Cafe sells concession favorites like burgers, popcorn and candy,” she said. “We selected and partnered with food trucks who serve something different than we can provide.” The trucks’ offerings range from pizza and tacos to Reuben sandwiches and shaved ice. And so far, the re-
sponse from Freeman Stage attendees has been great. “The response has been wonderful,” said Vinnie DiNatale, director of marketing for Grotto Pizza. “Families attending The Freeman Stage shows have been very excited to enjoy Grotto Pizza.” Chris Jacona, co-owner of Sea Hogg with his brother, Anthony, echoed DiNatale’s sentiments. “[It’s been] fantastic,” he said. “We’ve had a great turnout.” Although the food truck schedule is complete for the 2016 season, Williams said the future of the food trucks at the venue is still to be determined. “We are hopeful that our patrons are enjoying the additional choices,” she said. Freeman Stage patrons Cookie and Rich Humphreys were happy to try the different offerings at a recent show. While they have always liked the Stage Cafe options, the food trucks added to the experience, they said. “It just enhances the selections [they already] offer,” Cookie Humphreys said. “It’s kind of nice to have a lot of different variety.” To see what food trucks will be at upcoming Freeman Stage performances, visit www.facebook.com/FreemanStage/.

‘Feed the Elderly’ campaign to support Meals on Wheels (July 22, 2016) More than 69,000 meals were delivered to area senior citizens through MAC’s Meals on Wheels program last year, but with looming funding cuts, the program’s critical services must find new ways to meet ever increasing demands for assistance. MAC Inc. and the Meals on Wheels Program recently launched the “Feed the Elderly” campaign, which aims to raise funds for services to seniors, while increasing the number of meals provided. A grant from the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore through the Bobbi Biron Fund provided a $5,000 grant to be used toward program assistance, but this will only meet a portion of the $50,000 campaign goal. Currently, meals are delivered a maximum of four days a week, however in more remote areas meal service is not available at all. Organizers hopes that through the campaign they will be able to increase this critical service to the elderly on the Lower Shore. Meals on Wheels, which provides lifegiving services to the homebound elderly who are confined to bed, lack transportation, or are too frail to cook for themselves, is sometimes the only access to adequate nutrition for some senior citizens in the Lower Shore area. Food insecurity and hunger lead to many critical problems for the elderly. Those suffering from lack of nutrition
see a diminished quality of life through an increased risk for illness, falls and hospitalization, and often require more frequent hospitalization and nursing home placement. The Meals on Wheels program aims to combat these problems by providing access to adequate nutrition even when family support, mobility and resources are lacking. The program also reduces isolation and increases safety for the citizens it serves. Many seniors have no contact with the outside world with the exception of the program delivery drivers. The services also act as a safety check for ailing seniors who are at an increased risk of medical emergencies, falls and accidents. Those interested in contributing to the campaign’s efforts should contact Peggy Bradford, executive director, MAC Inc. at 410-742-0505 or mab@macinc.org or by mail MAC Inc., Attn. Meals on Wheels, 909 Progress Circle, Suite 100, Salisbury Maryland 21804. A 501c3 nonprofit, CFES has provided more than $60 million in grants and scholarships to the local community since 1984. It collaborates with individuals, families and businesses to match their charitable interests with community needs and strengthen local nonprofits through grants and resources.

Commentary
Good boaters look out for everyone
Veteran boaters in Ocean City waters will probably agree that the collective IQ of the land-based population goes up on the weekends. That would be because everyone else who scored a little lower seems intent on leaving land to demonstrate exactly what not to do on the water. That’s a harsh assessment and an exaggeration, but it expresses just how infuriating it is for good boaters to endure the multitude of recreational watercraft operators who routinely ignore the rules of navigation, speed limits and no-wake zones as well as the fundamental principle of being aware of the others around them. As it is, a boater this past week ran into a woman who was competing in the three-mile swim portion of the Ocean Games. Lucky for her, the propeller only sliced through her hand, although it’s easy to see how she might have been killed. Worse, whoever was responsible for misguiding this craft kept on going, leaving the injured swimmer in the water. Obviously, the first question is what was that boater doing so close to a swimmer in the first place? Never mind what the swimmer was or wasn’t doing, it’s the obligation of the boater to remain at a safe distance from people in the water. It’s just basic common sense. As good a job as our Natural Resources Police do, there aren’t enough of them to look out for everyone during these middle-of-the summer weekends. That makes it incumbent upon those with good boating ability and knowledge to keep a sharp eye out for those who possess neither. Fortunately for us, people who have taken Coast Guard Auxiliary, Power Squadron or other boater education courses outnumber the bad boaters in the ocean and local bays. Were it not for them and their ability to spot and avoid potential trouble, even more serious problems would be the likely result.

It started with Popeye
By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher As I have mentioned before, if performance-enhancing substances are banned in athletics, Popeye is in trouble. It was he, not some track star, pro wrestler, football player or hulking outfielder with forearms that look like they were hung in the smokehouse with all the other hams, who started it all. Yes, it is true that Samson got his strength from his By hair, but that was all natural Stewart with no additives, unless, of he used “product,” as Dobson course, we now refer to hair goo, cream, gels, sprays and so forth. I say Popeye is in trouble, because should he test positive for spinach after knocking Bluto into a parallel universe for the umpteenth time, the Committee for the Responsible Use of Vegetables or some other watchdog agency could strip him of all his victories, not that it would restore Bluto to his home planet. All this is relevant, of course, following the discovery that many Russian athletes were injecting monkey gland squeezings or some other banned substances during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. As a result, Russia could be banned from the summer games in Rio de Janeiro for having cheated then, and probably in previous competitions. This is indeed unfortunate, as there’s a good chance that many of the athletes did inject or ingest these chemical compounds under duress: “Sooooo, my little hedgehog, you like tending to the cabbage back home? Nooooo? Then take this.”
Besides, I’m not convinced that using performance-enhancing substances is any different than employing the performanceenhancing everything else that athletes have at their disposal these days. High-tech swimsuits, for instance. Speedo came out with one for the 2008 Olympics that was so streamlined and efficient that it was banned a year or so later, which, incidentally, was about how long it took for the swimmers to squirm out of them. The quickest way to take off the suit was to have a friend start rolling it up from the bottom like a tube of toothpaste until the swimmer squirted out the top. And how about the gear biathletes use, biathletes being those rifle-toting skiers who glide over a snowy course, stop and plink five times at a target and move on to the next one, all this apparently being of some use in the practical world. The question is do those rifles look like dad’s old .22 with the solid walnut stock? No, they do not. I’m surprised they shoot bullets, because they look like ray guns to me. As it is, these precision weapons replaced the original rifles that were used when the sport debuted in the world games, those bad boys being bulky old 30.06s, or thirtyaught-sixs, otherwise known as your Uncle Bob’s huntin’ rifle back in the day. And the pole vault. A century ago, the world record in that event was 13.77 feet. The current best is 20.2. Suffice to say that the current numbers were not accomplished with your Uncle Bob’s pole, no matter what he says when he’s been drinking. No, back when the sport was officially recognized, they used bamboo, which is about as flexible as your Aunt Minnie, when Uncle Bob, again, has been drinking. Now they use a carbon fiber composite pole that’s been so See PUBLIC EYE page 94

PUBLIC EYE Continued from Page 93 fine-tuned by physicists that it will throw you like a spitball from a rubber band. There’s also cycling, with bikes having composite wheels, highly engineered gears, ergonomic everything else and funny-looking helmets, the drag-reduction properties of which were discovered when a hospital orderly put a bedpan on his head and said, “Look at me, I’m Mercury, the god of speed” in an attempt to cheer up the old folks. The point is, I’m all for letting athletes take whatever they want, whether it’s spinach or monkey gland juice, as long as everyone knows up front and assuming they’re willing to accept a little shriveling here and there later in life. It’s either that or they use nothing at all, return to the original equipment and compete naked, which brings us to the real question: would Michael Phelps beat Johnny Weissmuller, who won his first gold in swimming in the 1924 Olympics, set 67 world records and went on to wrestle crocodiles as Tarzan in six films, if they were competing naked? Maybe and maybe not. I suppose, though, that crocodiles also might be considered performance enhancers, or not, depending on their point of view at the time.
