Brutal heat claims a life in Worcester State health dept. confirms temperature-related death
MORGAN PILZ/OCEAN CITY TODAY
SIGNED ON The Fenwick Inn and OC 360 sign at 138th Street rests on two parked cars Tuesday after collapsing during the heavy storm and strong winds that battered the area overnight. No injuries were reported. On the upside, the storm was caused by the clash created when a cool front pushed its way east and ended the heat wave of last week.
Worker video calls for great service Chamber, HMRA believe employees will help push OC above its competitors By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Training staff to be friendly and conversant about Ocean City’s pleasures and services is the intent of a video being developed by the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce and the Ocean City HotelMotel-Restaurant Association. HMRA Executive Director Susan Jones said the concept is to produce a welcome video that resort businesses can use with new employees to help them generate a culture of kindness. “Over the last year, we’ve talked
about how we make Ocean City different than other destinations because we are competing globally,” she said. “Obviously, service in one way that people can comSusan Jones pete.” Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce CEO and President Melanie Pursel said this spring the organizations worked on a handful of management-level customer service training sessions. “How to impower your frontline staff with customer service skills and decision making,” she said. While enlightening leadership is critical, Pursel said the experience
helped this latest effort to relate the need for stellar customer service directly to employees. “We thought it would be a good idea to put together a video Melanie Pursel that each employer could incorporate into their onboarding or training that was universal across the entire city,” she said. “It’s about customer service and making [staff] feel how they’re a part of making this city run.” Jones said the pair realized the proposed platform would provide an ideal means to present a unified message for new hires at numerous resort See WORKER Page 70
By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) A Worcester County woman suffered a “heat-related death,” Maryland Health Department officials confirmed last Thursday. The woman was not identified, and state officials would say only that she was between the ages of 45 and 64 years old. Fur- Travis Brown ther, beyond acknowledging that heat was a factor, officials said the other circumstances leading up to her death were unknown. What is an accepted fact, however, is that the temperatures and the end of last week were brutal. Temperatures skyrocketed during a heat wave See LAST Page 70

While nothing separates humans from the horses, National Park Services urges visitors to avoid feeding and coming into contact with the animals on Assateague Island.
Visitor learns island’s horse etiquette with painful lesson By Josh Kim Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) A video of a horse kicking a man in the groin serves as a reminder of what not to do when visiting the beach of Assateague Island. “Horses bite and kick in response to crowding or competition for food,” said Liz Davis of Assateague Island National Seashore. “Visitors can be knocked down and stepped on if horses spook or react suddenly.” The video, which was shared by Fox News on July 21, shows an unidentified man reaching out to pet one of these horses, before being kicked in the groin and falling over. According to the video, locals had warned the man not to approach the horse, but he failed to heed their advice. “Give the horses their space,” Davis said. “Move a “bus length” or 40 feet away when a horse approaches.” Feral horses—horses that were
once domesticated and now wild— freely roam the island, and gained fame after the release of Marguerite Henry’s book “Misty of Chincoteague.” While nothing separates humans from the horses, National Park Services urges visitors to avoid feeding and coming into contact with the animals. Horses can get sick from human food, and those that learn to approach roads and beg for food are often hit and killed by cars. Visitors are kicked, bitten and knocked down every year as a result of getting too close to the horses. Regardless of someone’s comfort level with horses, that comfort can unexpectedly turn into something else entirely. “The human/horse interaction that was captured on camera is a stark reminder of the power and unpredictability of wild horses,” Davis said.

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan speaks to the crowd at the Protect Our Sand & Sea kickoff event at Macky’s Bayside on 54th Street, Tuesday.
Green Team launches waste source reduction campaign By Josh Kim Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) The Ocean City Green Team launched its Protect Our Sand & Seas “source reduction” program on Tuesday at Macky’s Bayside on 54th Street. “We really put a lot of time on this,” said Tony DeLuca, councilman and Green Team chairman. “Source reduction is a true example of our community coming together, and we encourage businesses to take small steps to make a big difference.” The campaign is an initiative to reduce plastic waste in Ocean City, and it consists of five pledges that a business may choose to reduce its use of plastic that would otherwise be discarded after use. The program drew inspiration from OC Surfrider Foundation’s Strawless Summer campaign, which encouraged businesses and people to reduce single-use plastic straw use. Protect Our Sand & Seas officially launched in March, and since then several businesses have pledged to participate. “Source reduction is the most effective way to save our natural resources,” DeLuca said. The term “source reduction” means eliminating waste by reducing the source of that waste, as in cutting the waste created by plastic straws by not buying them and therefore reducing the number of them in circulation. The Green Team is comprised of members of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP), Town of Ocean City, Ocean City Surf Club and Surfrider Foundation. Through the bays program and the Town of Ocean City, the campaign se-
cured more than $50,000 in funding from multiple sources such as NOAA, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the Environmental Protection Agency and Keep Maryland Beautiful. In addition to Protect Our Sand & Seas, the Green Team is collaborating on a cigarette-butt recycling program to further eliminate waste through the source reduction approach. Cigarette butts are a leading source of pollution, because the filters are made of plastic material that can take decades to degrade. The cigarette butt huts are located all along the beach, and regularly fill 55-gallon buckets during disposal. “To date, we have recycled 104 pounds of cigarette butts,” said Sandi Smith, the coastal bay program’s development and marketing coordinator. All of the cigarette butts are sent to TerraCycle, a recycling company that turns them into items such as park benches. Several of these benches will be placed throughout the resort in September. The Protect Our Sand & Seas campaign will promote businesses that have signed the pledge through social media, newspaper advertisements and stickers. “We know that eliminating waste before its created helps to reduce the amount of toxicity,” DeLuca said. “That means less pollution [and] the conservation of our beaches…for future generations.” To pledge, check out www.mdcoastalbays.org or contact Sandi Smith at sandis@mdcoastalbays.org or by calling 410-213-2297.

Ocean City fields requests for updated dog regulations By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Although spending summer days on the beach with canine accompaniment remains prohibited in Ocean City, rumblings for changes to dog-walking polices have begun. During the Recreation and Parks Committee meeting earlier this month, an extensive discussion about planned expansions at the dog playground on 94th Street evolved into the possibility of updating city pet policies. Councilman John Gehrig, who chairs the Recreation Committee, said at that meeting that amending the summertime ban for dogs on the beach has been an increasingly popular topic. After some brief discussion, the committee voted to retain the existing policies, with Gehrig voicing an interest in revisiting the subject in the future. City Manager Doug Miller said the dog policy discussions were a natural outgrowth of conversations during the Recreation Committee meeting about upcoming expansions at the dog playground in Little Salisbury Park. “Recreation and Parks wants to enhance the ability for dogs to be walked, which is why we’re expanding the dog playground,” he said. Miller said the resort has a longstanding tradition of curtailing canines on the beach during the summer months. “In the offseason, we allow dogs on the beach,” he said. “When we start to get an influx of people walking barefoot in the sand, we stop allowing dogs.” While the majority of pet owners
are responsible, a small percentage fail to clean up behind their pets, Miller said, and that leaves a much less attractive beach. Additionally, due to the population explosion in season, Miller said, dogs are prohibited on the beach and Boardwalk to avoid dog fights or biting incidents. Miller said at the Tourism Committee meeting earlier this month the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association commented about the ever-growing number of pet-friendly hotels, whose management has inquired about relaxing regulations. “Discussions didn’t go far but the topic was brought up,” he said. “We love our pets and want to be able to walk them.”

By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Berlin Falls Park is closed temporarily following an apparent chemical spill last month at the facility on Old Ocean City Boulevard, Town Administrator Laura Allen said at an advisory committee meeting last Thursday. Additionally, Allen reported a $107,524.83 invoice from Chesapeake Environment Services Inc. that detailed the labor and equipment required to “clean up and dispose of the contaminated soil.” Berlin’s Town Council unanimously approved to pay the invoice during a meeting Monday evening. Allen said the park is expected to be shut down for the next two to three weeks, but shouldn’t stay closed for longer than one month. The chemical was listed as sodium hydroxide 50 percent (caustic soda or lye), according to an invoice from Chesapeake Environmental Services, Inc. It was a base chemical with a pH level of 13, which is higher than a neutral pH level of 7. Since the spill, Allen said town officials have “been continuing to review the property to identify any other hazardous materials that may need to be removed.” Following the clean-up, Allen said “we received clearance from the fire marshal to have the fireworks” on July 3 at the site on Old Ocean City Boulevard. However, Allen said after conversations between the Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office and Chesapeake Environmental Services, “we received advice to go ahead and temporarily close the park so we did so.” Allen said town officials were notified of the situation around 11:45 a.m. on June 26.
RACHEL RAVINA/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Berlin Falls Park is temporarily closed following a chemical spill last month at the site on Old Ocean City Boulevard in Berlin.
Berlin’s Mayor Gee Williams said the spill was located “adjacent to two ponds.” Managing Director Jeff Fleetwood said last month that a Facebook post circulating on social media alerted people about the spill, and the death of at least one turtle. Town officials said they contacted the consulting firm EA Engineering, Science and Technology Inc. They then called Chesapeake Environmental Services and the Maryland Department of the Environment, which also investigated the matter. Mayor Gee Williams issued a statement following the incident detailing the efforts to rid the area of the hazardous materials. He said tests were done and “no chemicals were found” in the ponds. Williams added that a chain link fence, silt fencing and an absorbent buffer were installed around the spill site following the chemical removal. When asked about the circum-
stances leading up to the spill, Allen declined comment. “I don’t have anything more that I can say about that at this point,” she said. A small group of townspeople voiced their concerns during a public comment portion of Monday night’s meeting about the funding and overall situation associated with the chemical spill at the park. Berlin resident Donald Fletcher questioned the town’s liability in this situation, because “if a demolition (contractor) knew that was there, chances are he’s responsible, and so I think maybe the town needs to use litigation to minimize this cost so to speak.” Allen then attempted to put his fears at ease. “I think it’s fair to say the town will take all the steps that it can legally and responsibly to recover the cost and the action associated with this See TOWN Page 10

By Elizabeth Bonin Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Worcester County’s Environmental Programs department will bypass county bidding protocols as it accepts the second lowest bidder for a survey of a conservation easement. Following a vote by the county commissioners to suspend the rules in this instance, the department with contract with Doug Jones, with a bid of about $41,800 for a job It will accept the second lowest proposal, Doug Jones, at approximately $41,800 instead of a low bid that came in some $19,000 less. According to Director of Environmental Programs Bob Mitchell, all costs are reimbursable by the state, so the county won’t be out anything by taking a pass on the low bid of $25,500. The survey will confirm the final acreage for an approved conservation easement. Although the county’s rules stipulate that any purchase above $25,000 requires formal bidding,
professional services, such as survey work, may be exempted from bidding requirements by commissioners. Mitchell told the commissioners last Tuesday that he preferred the more expensive Jones price quote because the significant difference between it and the low bid made him uncomfortable. He added that the Lower Shore Land Trust had similar work done and the cost in that case was in line with the number Jones presented. According to Mitchell, most surveys cost $6,000-12,000, but this survey is more expensive because survey crews will have to hike through woods, remote terrain and wetlands. “Generally speaking,” he told the commissioners, we have a problem with folks that are too far off the mainstream that they want to come back and ask for more money,” Mitchell said. “At the end of the day, we’re looking at a firm that’s going to come back and ask for what the other firms are already asking to start with.”
Building signage bill introduced By Elizabeth Bonin Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) The restriction on transferrable building signage in Worcester County has been repealed. Commissioners Chip Bertino, James Bunting, Bud Church, Joseph Mitrecic, Joshua Nordstrom and Diana Purnell introduced the bill on June 18. Ed Tudor, director of development Review and Permitting, said that currently when signage is calculated, companies are allowed to move it to a different side of the building, provided that it doesn’t exceed 50 percent of the allowable space on one side or 20 square feet on any one side.
The proposal will remove the 50 percent limitation. It will not allow for more sign area, but will change how signage is allocated. This will accommodate buildings that are not on the side of the road, but instead are situated in shopping malls and want to move signs around depending on its physical location. Ocean City businessman Mike Ramadan submitted a petition to remove the limitation in April. According to his request, the lift on the limitation would allow the Dairy Queen in West Ocean City to have signs transferred to other sides of the building, which is imperative since it does not have a sign on the highway.

Resident Shaun McGowan brought a 2017 report from EA Engineering Science and Technology, and asked for an “explanation” when addressing Berlin’s Mayor and Council. “You were warned. They told you they were there,” McGowan said. “It
wasn’t part of their report, but they at least they gave you a heads up. And from what I can tell, nobody acted on it. That’s negligence.” While chemicals were found on site, according to the report, the particular chemical in question, sodium hydroxide was not one of them. Others, like resident Deborah Fletcher, said she believes the town should completely rid itself of the property altogether. “It’s a lemon,” Deborah said. “It’s a nightmare and stop the bleeding. Cut your losses.”

Representatives from the Matt Ortt Companies and Ocean Pines Association shake hands after agreeing to preliminary multi-year contract extension terms on Friday. Pictured, from left, are Ortt Companies cofounders Matt Ortt and Ralph DeAngelus, and Ocean Pines General Manager John Viola and Finance Director Steve Phillips.
Matt Ortt Companies reach terms with Harrison Grp,OP By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Matt Ortt Companies, which has been managing several restaurants and organizations in Ocean City and Ocean Pines, will continue to prosper with a collaboration with the Harrison Group and a preliminary multi-year contract extension with Ocean Pines. On Friday, the Ocean Pines Association announced that it and the Matt Ortt Companies had agreed to preliminary terms of a multiyear contract extension to continue to manage the Ocean Pines Yacht Club and Beach Club. “We’re super happy that we’ve come to preliminary – and I use the word preliminary here – terms on the extended contract,” said Ralph DeAngelus, co-partner of the management company. “Nothing’s been finalized yet. But in business, once you get the terms done, the language never kills a deal.” The Matt Ortt Companies originally signed a two-year agreement to manage both facilities last year. Since then, each restaurant has experienced a significant financial turn-
around and earned rave reviews for improved food quality and service. Under the leadership of Matt Ortt, DeAngelus and Executive Chef Stuart Diepold, the Ocean Pines Yacht Club has set new sales standards several times this season, including a recordbreaking Memorial Day Weekend. In July, the Yacht Club facility set a single-day record with $53,000 in total revenue – including a $25,000 banquet – and on July 5 the restaurant by itself set a single-day record with more than $40,700 in net revenues. “We expect to be in Ocean Pines for a long, long time and we’re super, super happy about it,” DeAngelus said. “I believe this is a win-win-win situation … a triple win matter. Matt Ortt Companies wins, the Ocean Pines Association wins and the people who come to the Yacht Club, a customer base, is going to win on this deal. And that’s what makes it a great deal.” In addition to the preliminary agreement, the Matt Ortt Companies will also be collaborating with the Harrison Group on a massive restaurant project on 16th Street.

Telescope Pictures works to remain relevant Ownership change brings fresh perspectives from two seasoned ‘scopes’ veterans By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Since taking the reins this season at Telescope Pictures, new owners Joe and Sam Cameron, who possess a combined three decades of “scopes” experience, have found success marketing tradition over technology through a personable sales approach that highlights community involvement. In December, the Camerons submitted the sole bid for one of two beach photography franchise licenses to the Ocean City Council at an annual term of $152,500 for the fouryear contract renewal. “We didn’t want the tradition to go away,” he said “My wife has been getting them done since she was a kid … I did not … as a kid, my mom always said no.” Joe Cameron, who worked nearly two decades for former proprietor Pat McLaughlin, said the pair was disturbed last season to learn their boss did not intend to renew the lapsing contracts and envisioned the end of a beach tradition that goes back more than 70 years. “The amount of the bid was so expensive [and] the other gentleman, Pat, obviously didn’t have any interest anymore,” he said. “So her and I had to really put our heads together, how can we make this work and not go away, because can you imagine Ocean City without telescope pics? A lot of people couldn’t.” Raising the required capital loomed as an initial, and potentially insurmountable, hurdle. “No bank would talk to us, nobody was behind us,” he said. Drumming up interest from investors also proved daunting. “It’s a very hard sell to an investor to open up … stores in Ocean City, hire a bunch of college students, house them in your house, pay them on commission, hope for good

weather and not see a nickel until late August,” he said. “It’s not a very appetizing plan for someone that wants to make money.” Despite the obstacles, Cameron said he and his wife agreed the pair should chase down the dream. “We were like, ‘we can make this
happen,’” he said. “It doesn’t need to be a big profit but eventually I think we can better ourselves.” To be successful, the couple realized the existing business model required tweaking to remain viable in light of modern-day technology. “It was turning in the wrong direc-
tion,” he said. “We needed to become a bit more well-rounded as a company.” To that end, the Camerons adopted a new business philosophy: the three C’s. “We’re all about bettering our cusSee OLD Page 14

The project is expected to be completed and open for public use in April 2020. “We’re super excited to be joining the Harrison Group family,” DeAngelus said. “They’re obviously the premier hotel organization in town and we can’t wait to be a part of it. So they leased us a spot in their premier Quality Inn Hotel on 16th Street.” Currently, the outdoor restaurant

is called Surfin Betty’s Beach Bar, which serves the Boardwalk and the pool area. DeAngelus already has several plans for the new operation. DeAngelus plans to install a “massive bar” inside the restaurant, which will have 3,000 square feet of space and have a large outdoor patio. All this will be done with interior design assistance from local interior designer Tori Jacobs, who has helped style several Matt Ortt managed locations such as the former Rare and Rye on 32nd Street. The beach bar will be renamed the Salt Shack. “We’re still going to be a familystyle restaurant, but we’re going to be
more casual upscale family restaurant,” DeAngelus said. “There’s a there’s two big, giant pools that service the hotel and we sit in the middle of them. There’s about a 40-foot space between the pools and [the bar] is located dead center between them.” The restaurant will serve seafoodbased meals as well as some “flairstyled entrees” that were seen at Rare and Rye, with Executive Chef Stuart Diepold taking over the menu and heading the kitchen at the facility. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more laser-focused on a project in my life than the one we’re going to do here on 16th Street,” DeAngelus said.

Old-school beach tradition remains popular Continued from Page 12 tomers, community and crew members,” he said. Looking to re-introduce “scopes,” the Camerons held grand re-openings for resort retail locations on 16th Street and 118th Street earlier this season. “We didn’t buy the company, we bought the assets of the existing company and then we started our own company,” he said. “We just do business as Telescope Pictures but we’re really J and S LLC.” Despite offering an iconic memory and beach souvenir, the Camerons recognized an opportunity to forge a stronger community connection. “My wife wants to get involved with local charities,” he said. “There’s a lot we can do if we have this platform, but we have to obviously get it in the right direction.” Looking to generate revenue for charitable causes in the area, Telescope Pictures is matching funds for customers who opt to round their purchase price to the nearest dollar to support designated nonprofit organizations. Joe Cameron said although a slate of groups was earmarked for support this season, the first selected is near and dear. “I’ve been a Big Brother for over
two years now with a local kid,” he said. “The downtown store just donated $2,100 to the Boys & Girls Club of the Eastern Shore and the uptown one was around $1,200.” After dedicating the first two months to that cause, Cameron said Atlantic General Hospitals’ Campaign for the Future is on tap for July. He anticipates generating around $3,000 to further the development of the John H. “Jack” Burbage Jr. Regional Cancer Center. On tap to receive donations later this season are the Ocean City Development Corporation and the Peninsula Regional Medical Center’s Richard A. Henson Cancer Institute in Ocean Pines. Cameron said the latter was a natural outgrowth of working with Seacrets owner Leighton Moore to photograph previous charitable events to support PRMC. “We actually shoot pics at those events, so it made sense to pitch in,” he said. “Then for September, for both stores, we’re doing the Worcester County Humane Society. It’s cool because now some of the kids … they’re putting that on a resume.” The increased focus on community also feeds into motivating crewmembers, Cameron said. “We’re doing weekly crew events
this year,” he said. In addition to a waterpark expedition earlier this year, Cameron said staff members were recently treated to a “Halloween in July,” event at Johnny’s Pizza, 5601 Coastal Highway. “All the little things that we hope to get the crew mentally motivated that it’s not just work,” he said. “Wow, Jon dresses as a seven-foot baby at Johnny’s Pizza in the middle of July. We’re having fun together.” The final vital element in the equation are customers, with Cameron espousing a relaxed sales approach to garner consumer interest despite modern technological competition. “They don’t really know it’s going to be more than just a quick selfie,” he said. “Slowing it down is a big thing that we focused on this year, which is really trying to give better service.” By encouraging staff to develop a personal connection with beachgoers, Cameron said hesitant purchasers are shown the merits of entrusting dedicated professionals to capture timeless seaside keepsakes. “It’s kind of proving to mom through our actions on the beach it’s not just a quick selfie or just a cheesy picture on the beach,” he said.
“Bringing the family together is the big thing [and] having that special moment in front of 3,000 strangers.” The revamped approach has proven effective thus far, Cameron said. “We think that we are getting it in the right direction, but this is not the year where my wife and I are going to retire,” he said. “This is going to be a long process. It’s also going to take other forward thought.” After purchasing one of two beach photography franchise licenses available to begin the season, with each permitting up to 15 employees to work the sands, positive revenue flow recently enabled the Camerons to reach pro-rated terms to secure the second license for the remainder of the summer. “Then we’re going to be talking in September about what we actually want to do and how we can make it work,” he said. “It’s going to be a winwin for the city and for us.” Although Cameron only anticipates breaking even this year, building the business remains the big picture goal. “We need to show everyone that we’re serious and we think we can make a difference,” he said. “If we can do that I think we can get it where it needs to be.”

OC ‘WreckTangle’ attraction gains popularity By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Despite the recent temperature spike slowing the flow of would-be “Ninja Warriors,” the resort’s new Woodward “WreckTangle” obstacle course at Third Street near the Ocean Bowl Skate Park is proving to be popular with active youth, adults and parents. Operations Manager Colby Haines said since the ninja obstacle course opened in late May the attraction has steadily gained in popularity, albeit with a recent lull. “The heat wave slowed us down quite a bit,” he said. Tourism and Marketing Director Donna Abbott said the advent of the cool early this week saw a return to previous levels of interest. “Kids were going up and down and having a great time,” she said. “It’s always fun to drive by and see kids there.” Bob Rothermel, whose Team Productions is providing event management services at the site, said because WreckTangle is unique, there are no obvious parallels to gauge success. “We have nothing to compare it to so every day is a new record,” he said. “It was slow at first but it’s gaining momentum. “That heatwave certainly took its
toll on us like it did on everyone else in the country,” he said. “When the temperatures broke, we were doing gangbusters.” Enjoying the milder weather on Wednesday was Nicholas Cluck from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, who brought his children down to confirm their Ninja Warrior abilities. “We actually came down to see the skate park because we always come down to the skate park,” he said. “We love doing extreme stuff, like biking [and] motor cross, and I watch the Ninja Warrior [TV show] all the time, so this is perfect.” After completing a second pass through the obstacle course, Gabriela Cluck, 11, admitted said she was initially hesitant due to a fear of heights. “The first time, I was like, ‘I don’t really want to do this because it was super high up,” she said. Swallowing her fear, Gabriela Cluck said the course appeared less daunting upon approach but proved far more challenging than anticipated. “When I was looking at it, I was like ‘this is going to be easy,’ then when I was actually doing it was a lot harder,” she said.

Youth climb and explore inside the ninja obstacle course on Wednesday while parents keep an eye on the fun times.
Resort invaded by young ninjas Continued from Page 16 Warrior,” was amazed after surveying the resort course. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” he said. Cluck said the Woodward WreckTangle offers a pastime his entire family can pursue. “I’ve been wanting to build a little obstacle course for me and my son in the backyard,” he said. “Here you just pay $20 and let your kid do it.” While adults are also welcome, Rothermel said demographics at the attraction have skewed younger. “We’re seeing a lot of young children that want to experience being a ninja,” he said. Haines said ninja participants must be at least 36-inches tall, with the course open to anyone age 5 or over, weighing between 40-250 pounds. “We get that question a lot,” he said. Haines also highlighted an upcoming competitive series at the obstacle course. “We’re looking to introduce the Weekly Race Series,” he said. “Our goal is to start in the next couple weeks and really hit the summer crowd.” Haines said a timing system was re-
cently installed to enable the weekly competitions, which will incorporate an app to allow participants to link up and compete with other WreckTangle sites nationally and internationally. “The goal is to see who is the fastest ninja,” he said. Haines said start dates for the weekly series will be announced shortly online at woodwardoceancity.com, oceancitycool.com, and on signs at the site. Haines said the numerous WreckTangle courses are all constructed with identical obstacles in the same order. Abbott said the ninja obstacle course is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day until Labor Day, with weekend-only hours through October, after which first year assessments can commence. “Once the season is concluded there will be a wrap-up session,” she said. Regardless of post-season conclusions, Rothermel said the WreckTangle meets one primary resort criterion. “Ocean City is about memories and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” he said. “It’s another opportunity to make a memory and have a great family experience.”
State police and Worcester County enter memorandum By Elizabeth Bonin Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) The Maryland State Police and Worcester County will enter a memorandum of understanding that will formalize the relationship between the two regarding the two state-owned communication towers located in Berlin and Snow Hill. The county has communication equipment installed in these two towers. The Department of Emergency Services requested approval and execution of the memorandum of understanding. According to the department, this will save money for tower site development, microwave radio relays and fiber optic communications systems.
According to Karen Hammer in the administration office, there will be no direct cost savings with the memorandum execution. Both entities will realize cost savings by not duplicating investments since neither will pay a fee to utilize the tower space. The memorandum says that the Maryland State Police will provide Worcester County with tower and shelter space as needed for Public Safety Communications. The county must uphold standards set by the Federal Communications Commission, U.S. Government and Maryland State Police. The county is responsible for the costs of tower analysis and reinforcements.

Pocomoke City to apply for extension of area water line Wor. County Commissioners approve request for project funding from Rural Council By Elizabeth Bonin Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Pocomoke City hopes to increase commercial and business development by extending the city water line to a site designated for that purpose. The Worcester County Commissioners last Tuesday approved a request to apply for the Rural Maryland Investment Fund (RMIF), which would fund 25 percent of the project. Currently, Pocomoke City owns 80 acres of land for commercial development with access to Route 13 South and Old Virginia Road on the west side. The property has sewer service available, but not public water service. The Rural Maryland Council offers this fund for the state’s disadvantaged and underserved rural communities to raise standards of living and economic prosperity. This proposal is specifically focused on infrastructure. The county’s interim director of economic development, Kathryn
Gordon, hopes an extended water line will generate revenue and create full-time, family-sustaining jobs in the area and relieve unemployment. Gordon estimated the project will cost $500,000. The RMIF Infrastructure Project will provide matching grants of up to 25 percent of the total cost for undertakings that involve two or more units of local government. Pocomoke City Planning Director Daniel Brandewie will work to secure the remaining 75 percent through local, private and federal funds. Gordon emphasized to the commissioners that those funds have not yet been secured. “We all understand the importance of infrastructure and the success of a growing economy,” Gordon said. “I also understand the limitations of an entity being able to assist in those efforts.” According to Gordon, if the remaining 75 percent is not secured, Worcester County is not obligated to continue with the grant project. Commissioner Joseph Mitrecic moved to approve the request to apply and Commissioner Ted Elder seconded. The application deadline is July 26.

Survey demonstrates WCPS students high health literacy By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Only half of graduating students completed a senior survey regarding integrated health literacy, but from the information gathered, Worcester County public school students had higher health literacy than expected by the University of Maryland Herschel Horowitz Center for Health Literacy. The Integrated Health Literacy Program (IHLP) partnership took shape in 2012, collaborating with Atlantic General Hospital. The program, which spans from first to eighth grade, aims to provide participants with an accessible approach to health learning. The IHLP units, which integrate health information into reading, math, science and social studies classes, helps to supplement the other education already being done. The program addresses health in the areas of dental health, nutrition and fitness, stress management, fire safety, emergency room visits, health care navigation, researching health resources, diabetes, heroin/opioid prevention, texting and driving and vaping among other itopics. “Atlantic General Hospital recognized health needs in our community (i.e. hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, etc.) that they felt could be more preventable if we educated children at a younger age, as opposed to trying to change the health habits of adults, which can be more challenging,” said Tamara Mills, coordinator of instruction for Worcester County Public Schools. There has been a gap in health education in Worcester County schools, Mills added. “Our physical education teachers do a great job of integrating health information into PE class, and some preliminary health classes at the intermediate/middle school level, but our elementary schools did not have designated health certified instructors or separate health time in the day.” Recently, the Maryland State Department of Education is now requiring more health instruction in grade bands 3-5 and 6-8. The senior survey, presented to the Worcester County Public Schools Board of Education on Tuesday, July 16, identified measures of perceived health status – how healthy students believed they were – risk behaviors, demographics and self-efficiency, as well as measures to find online health information and confidence in health information from sources. The survey showed 281 out of 534 graduating students completed the survey. Of those 281, 156 (55.6 percent) were female and 118 (42.1 percent) were male.

In the pilot findings, the senior population had a relatively high level of health literacy, albeit all students scored in the lower end of the high range. This could be attributed to students having low confidence in managing stress. Students did, however, have high confidence that they could tell a friend “no” when offered serious drugs. Of the students who answered the survey, in the past month, 4.6 percent of students claimed to have smoked marijuana 2.1 percent smoked cigarettes, 8.9 percent used e-cigs or vapes and 1.4 percent drank alcohol. These numbers are significantly lower than the national average. However, because these numbers are much lower than national statistics, the University of Maryland Herschel Horowitz Center for Health Literacy is not sure if this is an indication of how well the students trusted the survey collectors to keep the data confidential. For Mills, the program is paramount to student health. “We live in a community where we fall above the state average in diabetes and hypertension, which can be preventable chronic illnesses,” Mills said. “Our overweight and obesity rates jump significantly from the youth, to the adults in our community. Therefore, if we can teach our children at the ground level what it means to eat healthy, be lifelong exercisers, and research and communicate well with our health care system, then we are growing a generation of health literate members of society.” In Maryland, 14.8 percent of adolescents were overweight, and 11.8 percent of adolescents had obesity, according to statistics from the Center for Disease Control. Having collected the data from the survey, the next step for the program is where to go next with this information. “After seven to eight years of unit development, piloting, implementation and assessing, we are still left with the question of ... is what we are doing making a difference,” Mills said. “How do we find out if we are making a difference? This year and next year are the last two years of graduating seniors that have never had any Integrated Health Literacy Program lessons. Therefore, if we survey them this year and next year, we will gather baseline data.” After the data is collected, Mills plans to conduct a survey for the first graduating class of students that had Integrated Health Literacy Program lessons for multiple years in 2021-22. “Our hope is that in 2021-22 we will see health literacy scores increase,” Mills said.

K-9 Officer Edo retires from sheriff’s office By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Edo, a K-9 officer for the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, was recognized for his years of service at a brief retirement ceremony at the Worcester Commissioners meeting last Tuesday. “K-9 Edo had six wonderful years of service to the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office in keeping our county safe, so we thank you, K-9 Edo,” Sheriff Matt Crisafulli said. While Edo officially retired in December 2018, his handler, Cpl. Dale Trotter,
OCPD identifies three suspects in large jewelry theft By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Ocean City Police have identified three people who allegedly employed a distraction-type rouse to rip-off more than $8,000 in jewelry from a Boardwalk merchant, with one party currently in custody and two others awaiting extradition to Worcester County. OCPD Deputy Communications Manager Ashley Miller said detectives with the Major Crimes Unit were contacted about a theft of roughly $8,500 from a jewelry store on the Boardwalk that occurred in May. “This theft was brought to our attention when employees noticed that a display rack of men’s jewelry was missing from one of the glass display cases,” she said. “The owner reviewed the store surveillance with officers to determine when the display rack was taken.” Miller said after examining the stores surveillance footage, City Watch cameras and license plate readers on roadway entrances to Ocean City, investigators were able to identify three suspects. Two of the individuals, Jonathan See TRIO Page 72
accepted a certificate from the commissioners on his K-9 companion’s behalf. “My time as a canine officer was the most rewarding and fun time that I had in my career,” Trotter said after the meeting. Trotter said Edo, a 10-year-old German shepherd, has worked with the sheriff’s office since 2012, after arriving from Tarheel Canine Training in Sanford, North Carolina. He went through training courses at Dover Air Force Base, Wor-Wic Community College, as well as the Pittsvillebased obedience school, Delmarva K9 LLC. Trotter said Edo completed an Alcohol Tobacco Firearms course, and was certified as an explosive detection canine by the Maryland State Police. “Edo has completed explosive scans throughout Delmarva most notably dur-
ing the bomb threat at the Salisbury Mall in 2013 and the countywide bomb threat of our public schools a few years ago,” Trotter said. “Edo has served the citizens of all of Delmarva.” Additionally, Trotter said Edo assisted in the arrest of six people throughout his tenure, despite a leg injury in 2017. “Edo is proud of his service to the citizens, either by way of emergencies or his time spent providing demonstrations to area organizations and businesses,” Trotter said. The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office has seven K-9 officers. Since his retirement, Edo has been “able to just be a dog” while living with Trotter and his wife, Lori. Edo was rewarded with a Kong dog toy on the job, and he got the same treatment at home, often playing with a Kong

Page 26 Blume’s Balloon Roundup Contest gathers 750 so far
The Boston Lykeion Ellinidon Dance Troupe performs traditional Greek dance during the 29th annual Greek Festival at the convention center on 40th Street last year.
OC Greek Festival, now in 30th year, held this weekend By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) This weekend, Grecian culture enthusiasts and curious guests can enjoy music and food during the 30th annual Greek Festival, held at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street. “The Greek festival is a compilation of everything Greek,” said Dr. Alexandra Hall, festival promotion, volunteer and raffle coordinator. “It’s for people who are Greek to experience their own heritage and get to eat Greek food and do Greek dancing, which is a very limited thing here.” Greek food is the main attraction of the festival, with choices such as half chickens, gyros, shish kabobs, grape leaves, meatballs, spanakopita (spinach pie) and baked lemon chicken. Vegetarian favorites include baked veggies and oven cooked potatoes. “The main reason people come to the Greek festival that aren’t Greek is for the food, and Greek food is hard to come by in our area,” Hall said. “We have all the traditional favorites.” Some of the authentic Greek cuisine served at the festival will be moussaka (eggplant and spiced ground beef topped with a béchamel sauce), souvlaki (marinated pork with pita), stuffed zucchini, Greek salad and pastitsio (lasagna with two

layers of macaroni, spiced ground beef and cheese topped with béchamel sauce). For guests with a sweet tooth, desserts come in a variety of rice pudding, loukoumades (honey pastries), koulourakia (egg cookies), kourabiethes (butter cookies), tsoureki (sweet bread) and the most famous of all, baklava. “It’s a great family fun atmosphere,” Hall said. “Everybody loves Greek food. I’ve never heard of anyone not loving Greek food.” All menu items will be offered starting at noon for dine-in or carryout. However, many of the most popular foods tend to run out by the end of Saturday. In addition to the food, participants can shop for jewelry, art, cloth-
ing, music, imports, toys and other merchandise in the vendor booths. On Saturday, Golden Flame, a Greek Bouzouki band, will bring Grecian sounds to the convention center. The band will play throughout the festival daily with live performances from noon to 2 p.m. and 5-11 p.m. Returning by popular demand this year are the Boston Lykeion Ellinidon Dance Troupe. The group will represent Greek folk dances and will perform at 4:30, 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Up to 5,000 people attend the only Greek Festival on the Eastern Shore each year from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, New York and Washington D.C. “We really try and reproduce the Greek experience in the convention See GREEK Page 27
By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Around 750 balloons have already been collected during the second annual Blume’s Balloon Roundup Contest, which began May 1 and will end on Sept. 20. Two young Berlin residents took an environmental issue and created a summer contest as a solution last year, as participants collected 1,392 balloons from the bay and ocean, which brings the overall number of balloons rounded up to 2,393. It all began when Joshua, 13, and Emily Blume, 11, went fishing with their father, Luke, last year. They noticed balloons in the water, which can be lethal for marine animals. “I go out fishing with my dad a lot and we’d see a lot of balloons,” Joshua Blume said. “Balloons are really bad for the environment and the turtles eat them and they choke and die. They think the balloons are jellyfish, which is their natural diet, and they can’t digest them.” Balloons tend to land in the bay and ocean after being released, and over time can lose the dyes chemically attached to them, leaving them colorless. These colorless balloons attract the sea turtles, who easily mistake them for jellyfish. The balloon strings are also used by birds in the area to make their nests, which can tangle and choke their babies. Recently, balloons made the news when an Assateague Island wild pony ingested a balloon and the string was stuck hanging out of its mouth. The pony was able to pass the balloon without injuring itself. The siblings decided to hold a balloon-collecting contest throughout the resort, from June 30 to Sept. 30 last year. Within that 90-day period, fishermen and competitors collected nearly 1,400 balloons from the bay and ocean. “This may help the environment,” Blume said. “The more balloons that are collected, the less sea life that’s going to die by eating them. When we went to the [sea turtle] hospital in Marathon, they said the top two things found in sea turtles’ stomachs are balloons and plastic bags.” People also tend to underestimate just how far balloons can travel when they are released. The Blume family even found a balloon in their neighborhood, which had traveled all the way from Arizona. “We found a balloon on the end of our street,” Luke Blume said. “Three of them See PARTICIPANTS Page 28

Greek food, music, vendors on tap during annual festival Continued from Page 26 center for our festival followers,” Hall said. “For people who can’t get to Greece that would just like to have a fun experience, we try to give a little snapshot of everything Greece has to offer.” Two raffles will take place at the event called the “Best Odds in Town,” which gives ticket buyers a 1-in-200 chance of winning a minimum of $5,000, and up to $10,000. Tickets cost $100 each and only 200 will be sold. A second raffle offers a chance to win $1,000. The cost is $5 for six tickets. Drawings will take place on Sunday, around 8 p.m., though participants do not need to be present to win. Participants must be 18 or older. Raffle tickets can be purchased online at www.oceancitygreekfestival. com using a credit card or PayPal. Guests can also take advantage of the Selfie/Photo Op backgrounds of ancient Greek Ruins of the Parthenon or the whitewashed, blue domed Church village scene at the festival. Children can partake in face paint-
ing and a crafts booth sponsored by the St. George Sunday School students. All proceeds from the festival support the St. George Greek Orthodox Church’s community and ministry programs on 88th Street. “This festival is really the largest fundraiser for the little St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Ocean City,” Hall said. “We are a stewardship-based church, so we don’t have dues to keep the church supported, but we have stewardship and whatever people want to give. Then the difference is made up with the proceeds of the festival.” The 30th annual Greek Festival is free to attend and takes place today and Saturday from noon to 11 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. “At night it turns into a night club, dinner and dancing, and entertainment atmosphere,” Hall said. “During the day it’s a leisurely lunch and shop in the market atmosphere.” For more information, visit www.oceancitygreekfestival.com, or check out the Greek Festival Ocean City Maryland on Facebook.

Participants also find bridal veil, clothing, pool floaties Continued from Page 26 from a car wash. It had a car wash logo on the balloons I had never heard of. So we googled the car wash where the balloons came from, and it’s in Arizona. That’s how far these balloons can travel. “I looked up the logo and the only carwash that had that same logo is in the southwest United States,” he continued. “The closest one was Arizona. That’s like a couple thousand miles away that balloon probably got up, got in the jet stream, and flew out here and ended up in Worcester County, Maryland. It’s incredible how far they go and people just don’t think about it.” This year, the contest started a month earlier and participants have already collected hundreds upon hundreds of balloons and even other plastics and litter left in the water. Despite being held primarily in the local area, participants from all over the country took part in the contest last year, and this year as well. Some even continued to hunt for balloons well into winter. According to the Blume family, it might have even encouraged some families from other states to create their own balloon roundup, though none have been officially created as far as they know. When the family was done collecting balloons from last year’s contest, they gave them to Stephanie McElhinny, art teacher at Berlin Intermediate School. “Some of the balloons we collected last year we took to the art teacher at Berlin Intermediate School and they did an environmental art project where they made Papier-mâché fish and birds and they used the balloons we collected for the outside covers,” Luke Blume said. “They cut them apart and used them to cover the art projects and had those displayed in one of the school art shows in the spring.” Now, any balloons the family finds,
they are keeping for a demonstration in Annapolis, which will show how detrimental large-scale balloon releases can be on the environment. Balloons were not the only things found in the water. People gathered an assortment of trash, such as old clothing, beach balls, pool floaties like a large pink flamingo and even a bridal veil. The family also has advice for people who plan to use balloons during celebrations or other events. “You could dispose of them in a different way,” Blume said. “You could pop them and throw them in the trash. They don’t get into the ocean that way.” “They shouldn’t ban balloons, but I would just want to make it clear that you shouldn’t release them,” Emily Blume said. “It’s still fun to have balloons at birthday parties, just don’t release them.” “People can be more responsible and try not to let them go,” Luke Blume said. “If more people were aware, they’d say, ‘Let’s pop this and put it in the trash,’ instead of letting them float away at the end of the day.” Sometime later this year, the Blumes will hold an award ceremony for those who participated in the roundup event. This year, there will be categories for collecting from the sea and on land. The top three winners will receive cash prizes as well as several donated items from local businesses. The environmental support does not end there. The Blumes have created Tshirts, donated by Red Sun Apparel, and the funds from the sales will be donated to two organizations – the MERR Institute in Delaware and the Marathon Turtle Hospital in Florida. T-shirts cost $15. The Marine Education, Research and Rehabilitation Institute, Inc. is a nonprofit stranding response and rehabilitation organization dedicated to the

Worship, dance and prayer during annual Jesus festival By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Hundreds of people are expected to participate in the 25th annual Jesus at the Beach Music & Ministry Festival, hosted by Son’Spot Ministries, Monday, July 29 to Wednesday, July 31. The festival will begin at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street each morning at 10 a.m. and run until roughly 1 p.m. In the evening, activities will take place on the beach at Caroline Street from 7-10 p.m. The free event was first created in 1995 when Son’Spot Ministries’ directors were inspired to have a festival where multiple groups can come and enjoy being together for three days. “It’s an opportunity to be with other Christians to enjoy the fellowship together, the dancing and the drama and praying for one another,” said Jesus at the Beach Director Gary Steger. “We do it as an opportunity to lift up the name of Jesus publicly, for Christians to come together and have a Christ-centered time of fellowship and worshipping God with music and song, encouraging one another and praying with one another.” There will be a T-shirt stand and information canopy set up on the beach at Caroline Street in downtown Ocean City during the evening. Tshirts cost $15. “We have a prayer tent on the beach and people on the Boardwalk can come up and have someone pray with them and that’s usually a very active event with people praying for people,” Steger said. The event draws over 1,000 people who stop along the Boardwalk and beach to watch the festivities or con-
certs taking place on the Caroline Street stage. “Inside the convention center there will be praise, worship music, some interpretive dance and teaching from the Bible,” Steger said. “We have several music groups, a dance group and a drama group [joining us] from various ministries from Maryland and Pennsylvania.” On Wednesday, a baptism will complete the three-day festival, which is slated to take place around 1 p.m. in the ocean at 42nd Street following a meeting in the convention center. Attendees should bring their own blankets and chairs to the beach. “It’s a symbol of the old person [being] buried and comes up anew,” Steger said. “There’s a scripture that says when you’re born again, you’re a new creature in Christ. That’s why we do what we do ... we give the opportunity to tell people that God loves them and has a plan for their life.” Son’Spot Ministries, on Worcester Street in downtown Ocean City, was founded in 1981 with daily gatherings for the Bible, fellowship and Christian music. The Son’Spot continues to be a missionary outreach each year of the Body of Christ, emphasizing salvation and victory in Jesus, through evangelism, fellowship and Holy Spirit ministry. There is plenty of free parking at the convention center. Riding the city bus to the downtown festivities is encouraged. The cost is $3 to ride all day. Evening ministries will take place in the convention center instead of the beach if there is rain. For more information, call 410289-1296 or visit www.jesusatthebeach.org.

Ocean City Beach Patrol to host crew competitions, Sat. By Lydia Woodley Intern (July 26, 2019) Ocean City lifeguards will gather on the beach at North Division Street, this Saturday, for the annual Beach Patrol Crew Competition, beginning at 6 p.m. Since 1973 it has been a requirement that all Ocean City lifeguards – approximately 200 members – participate in the crew competitions. “It was meant to be inter-squad motivation with a little bit of bragging rights and a workout … It has grown to help camaraderie and teamwork,” said OCBP Lt. Skip Lee, the competition’s organizer. Plus, he added, the guards enjoy the competition. Lifeguards will be split into 18 teams, grouped together by the streets they watch over. Unlike other voluntary beach patrol competitions, the Ocean City crew competitions are designed so every lifeguard has to participate and work together as a team. Five events will take place, all of them designed to incorporate the rescue equipment guards use on a daily basis. In the first event, Landline Rescue, a lifeguard will swim with a rope
around his or her waist to a “victim” in the water and bring the individual back to shore. This event will be followed by Paddleboard Rescue Relay, where participants will use the same boards they have for everyday rescues, to paddle to a marker and back. The third event will be RunSwim-Run, which Lee considers to be the “most applicable” to what lifeguards do every day. In this event the lifeguards will run 100 meters, swim 50 meters, then run another 100 meters. Next, is the Soft Sand Relay, where the lifeguards will move closer to the Boardwalk and use the challenge of running in soft sand as a twist on a basic relay. Finally, the “most exciting and fan-centered” event, according to Lee, is Tug-o-War. Each event will last between five and 25 minutes. Gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded after each event to teams finishing first through third. A 2019 champion and a runner-up team will be named based on a point system after the competition at the annual beach patrol banquet held in August.
Members of crew 14 participate in the land line rescue portion of the competition during the Ocean City Beach Patrol Crew Competition on North Division Street beach, last year. The 2019 competition will take place this Saturday beginning at 6 p.m.
American flags and a stage will be set up for the event on North Division Street near Quiet Storm Surf Shop. Jeff Brabitz will take his place on the stage again this year to emcee the games. Everyone is welcome to bring
a chair or towel to sit in the sand and watch the competitions. For more information, visit www.ococean.com/ocbp, www.facebook.com/OCMDBP or call 410-2897556.

Recipe for cheesy, gooey mile-high chicken nachos By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (July 26, 2019) Who does not love cheesy, gooey, mile-high chicken nachos? Mounds of veggies and hunks of tender chicken piled to a point of no return. It’s so simple to make, just layer the massive mound of goodies and heat it in the oven. But mouthwatering, lip-smacking, and finger-licking nachos that can stand up to the toughest critics is another subject. As with any dish, there are so many choices and it is these small details that distinguishes a good dish from a great dish. So, let us delve into the specifics for spectacular chicken nachos. Chips are the first consideration. Acme has house made tortilla chips that are located in the deli section. The packaging includes a clear window so you are able to see the actual chips. Freshly made chips are always a better choice. I adore cheese and want my nachos loaded up like there is no tomorrow. A variety of cheeses are more interesting and gives depth of flavor. Have fun and allow personal preference be your guide. The chicken is the next consideration. First and foremost, brine your chicken. Brined meats are juicier and cook faster. The recipe is simple, 1/8th of a cup of salt to 1 quart of water. Brine for at least 6 hours. How one should prepare the chicken is another important factor. Yes, you can pan sauté them on the stovetop or bake them in the oven, but grilling the chicken gives you much more depth of flavor and is more pleasing to the eye. Since you are going to be utilizing the grill, add a red and orange bell pepper. The gorgeous color of the peppers will add to the festive presentation. Just remember to remove the stems, seeds and excess liquid. Grilled pineapple is another option and pairs wonderfully with chicken. Tomatoes or salsa will be an eternal debate. I prefer fresh tomatoes for the simple fact that salsa will turn the chips soggy. Roma tomatoes have less juice and seeds and are the preferred choice. Serving the salsa on the side gives your guests more options which is always a good thing. Onions are another consideration. Yellow onions can be aggressive and
overpower the nachos. Use sweet onions and chop them coarsely for better contrast in texture. The addition of green scallions adds to the flavor profile and reinforces the theme of onions. Lettuce helps break up the richness of the dish. The base of Romaine lettuce is crunchy and loaded with natural juices. This is another way to incorporate texture and break up some of the richness. Olives add a beautiful contrast in color. Most nacho dishes showcase California black olives. Personally, I am not a fan of California black olives; their taste is minimal. Kalamata olives are delicious but they are pricy. Jalapenos are a must. They give the nachos a burst of heat. Pickled or raw is the only decision. Raw can be very hot, so pickled is a more popular choice. Consider spreading your garden of choices around the chips, this allows guest to personalize their bites. It also adds to the beautification of the dish. Sour cream and salsa are sometimes presented on the side. Sriracha sour cream is another option. Just combine ¼ cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon of Sriracha, ½ lime zest, and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Summer time is all about company, mile high chicken nachos are a delicious, gorgeous and innovative way to serve classic nachos. Enjoy!
Mile-High Chicken Nachos 1/8 cup kosher salt, plus 2 teaspoons 1-quart cold water 2 tablespoons taco seasoning 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 bag tortilla chips 2 to 4 boneless chicken breasts, depending on their size 4 to 5 Roma tomatoes, seeds removed, chopped 2/3 cup sliced kalamata olives, pitted 2 scups shredded Romaine lettuce 1 cup coarsely chopped sweet onions 3 scallions, sliced 3/4 cup sliced jalapenos 3 slices grilled pineapple, chopped 1 red and orange grilled bell pepper, seeded, stems removed, and chopped 2 cups Pepper Jack cheese, grated 1 cup mozzarella, grated 2 cups cheddar, grated 1/4 cup fresh herbs 1/4 cup chunky salsa 1/4 cup sour cream 1.

Step-by-step process how to build perfect nacho dish Continued from Page 32 Ziploc bag. Place Ziploc bags in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. 2. Rinse chicken thoroughly and dry with paper towels. 3. Preheat grill to medium to medium-high. You want the temperature to reach 350 degrees. 4. Season chicken with remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, taco seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. 5. Cook chicken, peppers and pineapple on the grill with the lid down. Sear peppers and pineapple, then remove. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Allow chicken to rest on a cooling rack. Once the chicken has cooled, cut the
chicken in unison pieces. 6. Sprinkle a layer of tortilla chips with cheese onto a large ovenproof plate or baking dish. Repeat once or twice depending on how large you want your serving. Each layer should get smaller in circumference. Finish with an extra sprinkling of cheese. Bake at 350 just until the cheese melts, 5 to 10 minutes. 7. Remove nachos from oven and artistically add the remaining ingredients, including the chicken. Serve with a side of sour cream, sriracha sour cream and chunky salsa.

ON GUARD
Alcoholic beverages not permitted on beach By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (July 26, 2019) The beach may seem like a great place to relax and enjoy alcoholic beverages, however, it is both illegal and unsafe to do so. Compounded by the heat, the dehydrating and disorienting effects of alcohol and impaired judgment, you can understand why Ocean City does not allow alcohol on the beach. Alcohol depletes your body of the vital fluids it needs to keep you up and running throughout the day, and it can also give swimmers a false sense of confidence when it comes to ocean swimming. Almost every guard has a story about rescuing a swimmer who drank too much alcohol.

A person who has a healthy understanding of the ocean and their own swimming ability might not usually head out very far, but after a few drinks they might find themselves feeling braver. They take risks they usually would not and can end up hurting themselves in any number of ways, from riding a wave into the shallow water and injuring themselves or swimming out farther than they should. Years ago a young man who was in town celebrating his high school graduation had one too many drinks and took a headfirst dive into two inches of water. He is now paralyzed from the neck down. More recently, a young adult (under the age of 21) consumed a fifth of rum (as reported by his friends) and went swimming against his friends advice who were also poor/non swimmers and his body was recovered an hour later. This is another easily avoidable tragedy that not only affects the person with poor judgment but also friends and family who must deal with the loss. Over time, it has become clear that many diving-related accidents and most of the heat-related illness have a direct
correlation to alcohol consumption. Even more interesting, when it comes to heat emergencies, the alcohol consumption may have been over 12 hours before the incident. With the recent stretch of high temperatures and heat indices approaching 100 degrees and above, this has resulted in dozens of heat-related emergencies along our beach. We know that from a safety perspective “alcohol and water don’t mix.” Many of our more serious incidents over the years have involved intoxicated beach patrons that do things after drinking that they would never do if sober. The sad fact is, that many lives have been altered or affected in a permanent way by alcohol-related incidents or injuries both in the water and on the streets, highways and crosswalks of Ocean City. Most of our pedestrian accidents, several of which are fatal each year, involve alcohol for either the driver or the pedestrian who stepped into the path of the oncoming vehicle. Not only is the life of the victim of a paralyzing injury or accident affected, but so are the lives of the family members who are often left caring for that individual following the injury. Another, issue with intoxicated “swimmers” is that reaction time and
physical ability are diminished and often lead to the person finding themselves in trouble in the water and in need of help. If this occurs between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. they will be lucky enough to be rescued by a surf rescue technician, although following the rescue these individuals do not do very well and are often transported to a medical facility for further evaluation (we had several the past few summers). Although we do a very good job of keeping these people safe while we are on duty regardless of how reckless they are, we unfortunately respond to several off-duty “swimmer in distress” calls each season, some of which are fatal and almost all are alcohol related. If you’re going to drink, don’t swim and take a bus or cab to get home safe! In addition to Maryland’s drinking laws, you might not be aware that Ocean City has its own laws and ordinances. Those that relate to alcohol are: • Public Consumption of Alcohol has been reclassified (2012) as a criminal offense and may lead to your arrest. • Consuming alcohol in public by anyone is prohibited. • Carrying an open container of alcohol is a violation. This includes the beach areas, sidewalks and the Boardwalk. • Using false identification is a crimiSee KEEP Page 37

ON GUARD
Keep alcohol off OC beach Continued from Page 36 nal offense that can result in a fine and/or loss of license. Police officers in plain clothes help enforce this law. • If your beverage happens to be in a glass container you are also guilty of violating an additional ordinance. You might be interested to know that the law is specific about the consumption of alcohol and has nothing to do with the container it is in (except that glass is also prohibited) although many people wrongly believe that pouring it in a cup makes it acceptable, which is not true. Some beach patrons know the law, but choose to disobey and take their alcohol to the beach and then attempt to hide the behavior from the beach patrol. This makes the job of the surf rescue technician (lifeguard) on duty who is responsible to monitor and enforce all activities on the beach as well as in the water much more challenging. To some it appears as a game, to see if they can conceal their illegal activity from the beach patrol while the surf rescue technician attempts to perform their job and enforce all of Ocean City laws and ordinances. The result is that your surf rescue technician has to divide their responsibilities between protecting people in the water and pleading with “adults” to follow the rules.
I have to say though, I often find it ironic that a 30- or 40-year-old beach patron will try to hide beer from an 18-year-old lifeguard. The beach patrol and your surf rescue technician work very hard to enforce the laws and ordinances of the Town of Ocean City, but we need your help! Please do your part and obey the laws and listen to the surf rescue technician and keep the alcohol off the beach. Violation of these laws is a criminal offense and may lead to arrest and will absolutely require another trip to Ocean City, but this time it will be for a court date. We hope you will have a wonderful time on your vacation in Ocean City, but we also want you to remember to drink when and where it is safe and legal to do so. And always remember, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”

Annual Great Pocomoke Fair this weekend By Sara Nickoles Intern (July 26, 2019) The annual Great Pocomoke Fair kicked off yesterday and runs through Saturday on Broad Street, featuring events for the entire family. “The whole thing brings us back to what has been done on the shore. There’s a lot of canning as people used to can their own food and sewing as women used to make all their own clothes,” John Smith, president of the fair committee, said. “It is back to the basics of what was in this area 30 to 50
years ago.” An assortment of exhibits will be featured inside the grandstand. “A lot of families like the exhibits inside which usually include fruits, vegetables, canned vegetables, sewing, photography and other things like that,” Smith said. On Friday, the fairgrounds open at 5 p.m. and events begin with hog judging in the livestock barn. A favorite from previous years, the Hobby Horse races will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the number of heats dependent on the amount of participants.
ASSE Int’l Student Exchange Programs in search of hosts (July 26, 2019) ASSE International Student Exchange Programs, in cooperation with community high schools around the USA, is looking for local families to host boys and girls between the ages of 15 to 18 from a variety of countries, including Norway, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Japan, to name a few. ASSE students come with an enthusiasm to practice their English and experience American culture, such as food, sports and shopping. They also love to share their own culture and language with their host families. Host families welcome these students into their family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving both the students and families a rich cultural experience. In addition, ASSE students have pocket money for personal expenses
and full health, accident and liability insurance. ASSE students are academically selected into the program, and host families can choose their student from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries and personal interests. To become a host family or to find out how to become involved with ASSE, call the ASSE Eastern Regional Office at 1-800-677-2773 or go to www.host.asse.com to choose a student and begin the host family application. ASSE International (formerly American Scandinavian Student Exchange) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt, public benefit organization. ASSE is officially designated as an exchange visitor program by the United States Department of State, was founded by the Swedish National Department of Education.

Incoming Salisbury freshman gets $2K college scholarship (July 26, 2019) The Ocean City Museum Society recently awarded Stephen Decatur graduate Brett Berquist with the George & Suzanne Hurley Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $2,000. Berquist will be attending Salisbury University in the fall, with an interest in business. Applicants were asked to write an essay on a historical Worcester County individual who has made a longstanding impact within their community. Berquist chose to write about James Purnell. As Berquist stated in his essay, “Purnell, is a long-serving Worcester County Commissioner, a long-time bus driver for Worcester County Public Schools, and a lifelong human rights activist.” This scholarship not only brings light to historical places, events and people of Worcester County, it also honors two of the founders of the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum. “Each time we choose a deserving applicant we are honoring the very people the scholarship is dedicated to, George and Suzanne Hurley,” said museum curator Sandy Hurley.

(July 26, 2019) Historian and former Eighth Street Ocean City lifeguard, Robert M. Craig, has published an illustrated book entitled “Maryland’s Ocean City Beach Patrol.” Craig is the son and namesake of Capt. Robert S. Craig who headed the Ocean City Beach Patrol from 1946-1987. The younger Craig served on the beach patrol from 1960-65, and his son, Christopher, became the first third-generation member of the beach patrol in 1999. The new book (Arcadia Press) is an illustrated history of the Ocean City Beach Patrol, featuring over 250 illustrations, both archival and by local photographers. The book includes a brief prehistory on ocean lifesaving prior to the establishment in 1930 of OCBP as well as a chapter on early captaincies before Capt. Craig. But the major content documents the eras of each of the three longest-serving OCBP captains: Robert S. Craig, George Schoepf, and Butch Arbin (current), covering 90 years of the beach patrol’s history. Rob Craig will present an informal talk about the genesis and content of the book and entertain a Q&A session from the audience. Books will be available for purchase and signing by the author and/or dedication. Craig’s recent book of Vietnam Era

‘Back to School’ supply drive for Worcester Co. students
FRIDAYS • 8 to Noon
Warren’s Station Parking Lot 1406 Coastal Hwy., Fenwick Island Through August 30th FREE Parking on Market Grounds
(July 26, 2019) Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services has started its yearly “Back to School” drive to benefit children in Worcester County unable to acquire necessary materials for the upcoming term. Over 200 backpacks filled with supplies were donated to students at local schools in 2018. “The School Supplies program is extremely important to the children and families in Worcester County. A significant number of families in the county live at or below the federal poverty level,” said Worcester Youth Executive Director Steve Taylor. “Pocomoke schools report roughly 70 percent of the children fall into this category, about half of the families in Snow Hill and roughly 30 percent of the families in the Berlin area struggle financially. In addition to those living at the poverty level, many more families are living paycheck to paycheck.” Taylor also emphasized the difficulty of living in monetary uncertainty. “Any major expense such as a car repair or refrigerator failure will place families at risk of not paying their bills,” he said. “Providing school supplies can be a tremendous help to these families. School supply requests are also intended to help teachers who sometimes use their own money to help the children.” Deborah Smullen, billing and insurance specialist for WYFCS, said that all participants in the organization’s youth programs would receive backpacks. “Bags are provided to our Berlin Youth Club, SAGES and SABERS members and their siblings, as well as our Family Connections families,” she said. “We also donate boxes of miscellaneous school supplies to area schools directly to lift the burden from teachers and administrators. Members of the public are invited to
fill out a bag request form for their child at any time.” Smullen requested that donations be made by Friday, Aug. 9. Drop-off locations for items include 124 North Main Street, Suite C in Berlin, at the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce at 12320 Ocean Gateway in West Ocean City and at Ayers Creek Adventures at 8628 Grey Fox Lane in Berlin. There will also be a “Stuff the Van” event at Walmart, at 11416 Ocean Gateway in Berlin, on Saturday, July 27 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Patrons are encouraged to purchase school supplies to be loaded in the WYFCS vans. School supplies being requested are: one-, three- and five-subject notebooks, Post It notes, bottles of glue, pencil pouches/cases, colored pencils, composition books, Crayola crayons, dividers, Zip lock bags (all sizes), highlighters, hand sanitizer, notebook paper, masking tape, scissors (blunt end), pencils, #2, white paper plates, pencil sharpeners, tissues, wipes (Clorox or Lysol), plastic two-pocket folders, regular twopocket folders, ear buds, glue sticks, large pink erasers, paper towels and dry erase markers. Bags will be distributed Friday, Aug. 29 from noon to 2 p.m. at Dr. William Henry Park in Berlin during a community event with lunch provided by Homes at Berlin. A parent or guardian must be present at the event to pick up the backpacks or may pick them up at the WYFCS offices. Further supplies will be given away at the Pocomoke, Snow Hill, and Stephen Decatur Middle Schools’ “Back to School Bashes.” Additionally, monetary contributions can be made to Worcester Youth and earmarked for the back to school drive. For more information, visit gowoyo.org, call 410-641-4598, or contact Smullen at dsmullen@gowoyo.org.

Worcester GOLD collecting school supplies (July 26, 2019) Worcester County GOLD (Giving Other Lives Dignity), a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is gearing up for its 20th annual School Supplies for Students Campaign. In 2018, with the help of sponsors and donors from the local community, GOLD provided backpacks filled with school supplies, along with coupons for free haircuts from the Hair Cuttery, for 498 Worcester County students who live in poverty and low-income circumstances. The families of all students provided school supplies are referred to GOLD by its community partners: Worcester County Department of Social Services, Worcester County Health Department and Worcester County Board of Education’s Student Services Office. This referral process ensures that all recipients of donated school supplies have been fully vetted for financial need. GOLD’s database offers the ability to ensure that each referred child re-
ceives the specific school supplies needed for his/her grade level, which heightens the ability for student’s academic success. The database also provides the ability to track data to ensure that duplicate services are not provided to same families served by GOLD. Despite Worcester County being considered one of the top resort destinations along the East Coast, the Maryland Interagency Council on Homelessness reported in the 2018 annual report that the homeless population in Maryland is still on the rise. Coinciding with this report, the State Department of Education released that over 40 percent of Worcester County students qualified for free and reduced-price meals. This data becomes more apparent in conjunction with the increased number of referrals submitted by social workers requesting emergency on a daily basis. State and county data, in addition to the increased number of students
being referred to the nonprofit, emboldened Worcester County GOLD’s Executive Director, Sandy Sipes. “We are working to make the 2019 School Supplies for Students Campaign the most successful year that GOLD has ever seen,” Sipes said. Assistance from individuals, organizations, businesses and volunteers is vital to the nonprofit’s continued success in its endeavor to provide the necessary tools required for disadvantaged Worcester County students to have the opportunity to be academically successful and blend
in with their peers. Sign up to sponsor children through GOLD’s website, or check out the list of school supply donations needed to fill backpacks, at WorcesterGOLD.org or through GOLD’s Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/WorcesterGOLD. Donations can be made to Worcester County GOLD, 299 Commerce Street, Snow Hill, Maryland 21863 or though the website to purchase school supplies. For questions or to volunteer, call 410-677-6830.

Tea Boss offers bubble teas, ice cream rolls, sushi By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Bubble teas, ice cream rolls and sushi are some of the items customers can purchase at Tea Boss, on 118th Street in the Food Lion Shopping Center. The shop also serves smoothies, hot and cold tea and the most popular item on its menu – bubble tea, which is also known as pearl milk tea, bubble milk tea or shortened to “Boba” tea. Bubble milk tea, which originated in Taiwan, consists of condensed milk, tea and often comes with “pearls” made of tapioca, fruit jelly, aloe, coconut jelly, grass jelly or agar. “Most people don’t know what bubble tea is around here, which is a little weird for us because we came from New York City where it’s a trend,” owner Johnny Ye said through translator Nancy Ye, who is the shop’s operations manager. When Johnny Ye first came to Ocean City with his idea for a bubble tea shop, he realized he was one of the only businesses focusing on the drink in the resort. “The owner has an entrepreneurial spirit and he called up his friends as this collaborative effort to open up something that he’s been pursuing for a long time, which is sushi,” Nancy Ye said. “This is a local area and he did a little research and it turns out ... we’re the only bubble tea shop for a couple miles around. So he saw this as a business opportunity and an entrepreneurial product.” There are several flavors of bubble milk teas, such as honeydew, coconut, mango, passionfruit, red bean, earl grey, blueberry, peach, banana, papaya, taro (sweet potato), jasmine, almond, strawberry, vanilla and original. Bubble teas are meant to be sipped a very specific way. The drink is served with a thin plastic covering, which is pierced by a special bubble tea straw. However, as bubble tea is not a common drink in the resort, many customers can get confused when they order it. “People have tried to peel off the tea lid,” Ye said. “It’s a sealed lid that you’re supposed to puncture. We’ve had a couple of spills so far.” Smoothies also come in several of the aforementioned bubble tea flavors and the café also offers fresh hot or cold milks mixed with brown sugar, passionfruit, pineapple, mango or strawberry. It also serves hot and cold coffee. In addition to the drink menu, Tea

Owner Johnny Ye wanted to bring bubble tea and sushi to the northern end of Ocean City.
Boss also provides fresh sushi including tuna rolls, green rolls, salmon and avocado rolls and a variety of sushi platters. For dessert, customers can choose fried ice cream rolls ranging from lychee, green tea, chocolate, mango, dragon fruit and banana flavors. “This shop is literally an Asian fusion dessert [place],” Ye said. “There’s bingsoo (shaved ice) from Korea and Taiwan, the ice cream rolls are from Thailand, sushi from Japan and bubble tea, which is from China and Taiwan. It’s the ultimate Asian experience.” The restaurant has seen a number of
returning customers and several new ones since opening on Father’s Day weekend. “It’s a novelty for many people, especially for people who haven’t tried bubble tea before, and if they don’t come for the bubble tea, there’s so much variety around here,” Ye said. Ye wants the shop to be a local venue and encourages artists to bring their work in to be displayed. Tea Boss is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information about Tea Boss, visit www.octeaboss.com or call 410-213-4693.
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (July 26, 2019) Local zoning laws affect how a property can be utilized, and therefore, affect a property’s value. When purchasing a property, it is important to understand the zoning classification so you can research which uses are inherently allowed, and which uses would require a special exemption. Zoning is divided into industrial, commercial, residential and agricultural development. In Worcester County, the zoning is prepared in accordance with the county’s Comprehensive Plan. The county states that zoning is prepared “with reasonable consideration, among other things, to the character of the land, its suitability for particular uses and orderly development.” You can check a property’s zoning classification by accessing the property on the state’s department of assessments and taxation website at sdat.dat.maryland.gov. You can further verify a property’s zoning classification by requesting a copy of a zoning map from the local municipality. And, if you would like to research the details of zoning ordinances for Worcester County, you can access everything online now at https://ecode360.com/WO1426. But, it is always a good idea to make sure you understand the code language and how it applies to the particular property you are interested in or already own but want to alter. Various uses for a property might be restricted based on its zoning, such as operating a home-based business. And, zoning laws can also restrict what kind of improvements can be made to a home, as well as square footage requirements for accessory structures. For simple questions, you can probably obtain the answers you need with a simple phone call to the zoning department, but if you have numerous questions about a property, you should probably schedule to meet in person.

Papi Joe’s Café is located on 13 Somerset Street off the Boardwalk. Joe Glorioso has been serving food for the past 38 years and now offers meals like burgers, pizza, pasta and subs at Papi Joe’s Café in downtown Ocean City.
Food industry veteran opens Papi Joe’s Café By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Joe Glorioso has worked in the food industry for 38 years and his most recent venture is Papi Joe’s Café, which opened last month on Somerset Street in downtown Ocean City. “I love working with food,” Glorioso said. “The last store I had was up in Dover for about five years and I wanted to get out of Dover and come back to Ocean City. I plan on being here and opening up a couple other stores once I get situated.” Glorioso runs his café with his family, and offers catering and can handle large parties or big events. Some of the items available from Papi Joe’s Café include Italian
sausages, pulled pork or brisket sandwiches, meatball subs, grilled cheese, fried chicken platters, hot dogs, pasta and pizza with Glorioso’s own homemade tomato sauce. “I don’t sell anything I wouldn’t eat,” Glorioso said. “You won’t find the sauce anywhere else. People are going to get the best food around and the best prices.” His homemade Boardwalk fries are cooked in vegetable oil – not peanut – and are made fresh every day. Glorioso also serves ice cream and Baltimore-style snow cones. “Everybody has shaved ice, but Baltimore has snowballs, which was the regional snowballs for many years,” Glorioso said. “It’s a crushed ice snowball, similar to a slushie and
the flavors are the original Baltimore flavors I’ve been selling since 1981.” Papi Joe’s Café is closed on Mondays but otherwise is open from noon to 8 p.m. daily. On the weekends, the

The two classes will be led by the teaching team of Kelley Burton and Heather Dennis, along with Kindergarten Assistant Brittany Flurer. The Worcester Kindergarten program is renowned for its small classes (10:1 student/teacher ratio) which allows teachers to engage and nurture each child on a personal level to develop their full potential. Transitioning from Worcester Prep second grade to the Kindergarten classroom, Burton (WPS alumna ‘05) looks forward to sharing her passion for teaching. “I will continue to encourage my young, enthusiastic students to build upon their natural love of learning through exploration and hands-on experiences,” Burton said. Joining Burton will be Dennis, a new faculty member and former lower school
teacher in the Montgomery and Wicomico County school systems and program director at the Junior Achievement of the Eastern Shore. “I first fell in love with Worcester Preparatory School when our son enrolled as a Pre-Kindergartener two years ago and now I get to fall in love with it all over again as a Kindergarten teacher,” Dennis said. “I cannot wait to welcome children to my classroom, a student-centered space where I will cultivate a love of learning and discovery for them to flourish. They will enter as eager new students and leave with the foundation they need to be successful in their academic future.” A member of the WPS faculty the past four years, Flurer (WPS alumna ‘11) will continue her integral role as assistant to the Kindergarten teachers. For parents who need extra time for pickup at the end of the day, WPS offers an After Care Program for Pre-Kindergarten to grade six students to remain at

Relaxing beach ban on dogs? Let’s say no The idea of relaxing some of the restrictions on dog-walking on the beach and Boardwalk in the summer seems to be gaining momentum, as pet-friendliness has become another sensible sales tool employed by the lodging industry. That, by itself, is a good idea, because dog owners in particular feel a pang of guilt whenever they leave their pets at a boarding kennel so they can travel. The dog, or dogs, as the case may be, don’t realize the owners will return, and so follow their owners’ departure with sad eyes and look of total betrayal. At least, that’s how owners interpret their pets’ expressions. Consequently, the option of being able to bring pets along on the family vacation makes sense. But allowing them on the beach and Boardwalk? Not so much, at least not without some heavy restrictions. City Manager Doug Miller is correct when he says most pet owners clean up after their dogs. That is especially true of resident pet owners, who understand both the neighborhood and overall impact on the resort of letting the chips fall where they may, so to speak. Not to denigrate the hundreds of thousands of visitors for whom we are forever grateful, but a small percentage of them will do all sorts of irresponsible things here that they wouldn’t even think of doing at home. Ignoring the need to clean up after a pet on the beach or failing to maintain control of that pet during a midday stroll on the Boardwalk amongst other people with dogs and thousands of pedestrians would probably fall into that category. An argument could be made to allow dogs on the beach in the early morning or night before the cleanup tractors drag the sand, and a sunrise walk on the Boardwalk with one’s faithful canine companion also might be acceptable. But beyond that, no. Even if it’s just a small percentage of people who fail to act responsibly, a fraction of millions of people is still a pretty big number.

We have a pill for that Not to make fun of people with mental health conditions, as I have some of my own, at least according to people I don’t even know who are whispering behind my back, but it’s almost every week that I see a new pill guaranteed to fix one thing or another. Again, don’t take this the wrong way, but I do fear that pharmaceutical companies are taking us deep into the By self-diagnosis zone, as we sit Stewart down to dinner in front of the and, between the salad Dobson TV and the boneless, skinless slice of something healthy, check ourselves for symptoms. “Would you say I have mania?” I asked across the table, referencing a commercial for a medication guaranteed to correct that, even though it doesn’t say exactly what kind of mania that would be. “No, I’d say you’re just (bat doo-doo) crazy,” she replies in her usual understanding way. And that’s the thing. With all the moodstraighteners and life-levelers that are being pushed on us, it’s hard to know whether one is simply (bat doo-doo) crazy or has an identifiable problem that can and should be treated. “Okay, then, if I had the occasional urge to wear a lettuce hat and stick tiny radishes up my nose, would that be (bat doo-doo) crazy or a sign of some deep-seated problem that should be addressed.
PUBLIC EYE
“Nope, still just (see above) crazy, unless, of course, you were attacked by a salad as a child. That would be different and should be treated.” “With what?” “Oh, I don’t know, ranch dressing, Newman’s Own?” Sometimes, the lack of sympathy in my house is enough to drive you — well, you know — and I’m a sensitive person who needs constant reassurance that, “Every day, in every way, I get better and better.” At least that’s what the smoking cessation hypnotherapist told me to repeat to myself at bedtime, which I would if I didn’t fall asleep somewhere between Youth-Restoring Monkey Serum on QVC and “Every day in … zzzzz.” The thing is, I believe these mental health medicine manufacturers are causing as many problems as they cure, because they keep telling us about the trouble we might have so they can sell us the solution. It’s bad enough that we have to endure all the other pitches about how to deal with patchy skin, irritable innards and stiff joints (although, through the miracle of medical marijuana, a stiff joint might be just the cure for whatever ails us). But now we have to battle back against the suggestion that we might not be quite right, but could be if we’d just ask our doctor if Flimflamalib is right for us. In fact, I suspect 10 years from now, given the way we continue to lower the bar on what’s acceptable and what isn’t, that we’ll see and hear a television commercial that says, “Are you (bleeping) crazy? Ask your doctor about Smoove, and every day, in every way, you’ll get better and better.”

Letter to the editor OC man defends trash truck drivers Editor, I believe one of the most difficult and unappreciated jobs is driving an Ocean City trash truck during the hot summer months. These drivers must maneuver balky vehicles in tight spots, empty dumpsters that are sometimes on an angle, and then backup with limited vision while not hitting any vehicles or pedestrians. Unfortunately I witnessed a situation where the trash truck was not being operated in the most efficient and effective manner. For at least 32 minutes the driver of a trash truck stopped his vehicle with the motor running in a driving lane. When I went to find out why the truck was not moving, I found that dumpsters that had to unloaded
were being blocked by an illegally parked car. Once the police and a tow truck operator took the necessary action to remove the illegally parked vehicle, the driver then emptied the dumpster. The way I see it, the driver should have continued with his route until he was notified by radio that the illegally park vehicle had been removed. Sitting in the traffic lane with the motor running for about 32 minutes is inefficient and not climate friendly in the hot summer months in Ocean City. Hopefully, this was an isolated incident and not the normal practice of the Ocean City trash operations when a dumpster to be emptied is blocked by an illegally parked vehicle. Joseph H.

Wor. state’s attorney’s office seeking life without parole Berlin teen tried as adult in case; first-, second-degree murder, other charges filed By Rachel Ravina Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) The Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office is seeking a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole in the murder case against 16-year-old Vershawn Hudson-Crawford, who is accused of killing Dehaven Nichols, 17. Hudson-Crawford faces charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and second-degree assault, after being indicted by a grand jury, according to Worcester County State’s Attorney Kristin Heiser. “Maryland law required HudsonCrawford to be charged as an adult,” Heiser said. The state’s attorney’s office also filed the intention to seek life in prison without the possibility of pa-
role on July 12. The investigation stems from Nichols being found unresponsive in a wooded area on May 22 near an apartment complex off Route 113 in Berlin. He was pronounced dead by EMS personnel. Nichols’ body was later sent for an autopsy to the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore. Police reported that Hudson-Crawford, his mother and grandmother went to the Berlin Police Department after the incident and informed them that Hudson-Crawford had been involved in a fight with Nichols. Preliminary investigation findings also revealed “the two teenage boys were involved in an altercation.” Hudson Crawford remains held without bond at the Worcester County Detention Center, according to court records. He entered a not guilty plea on May 29. Hudson-Crawford’s trial is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 10 at the Worcester District Court in Snow Hill.

Beach patrol sgt. recovers Pa. woman’s missing ring Visitor applauds Uebel for going out of his way to find 30-year engagement band By Elizabeth Bonin Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Ocean City Beach Patrol Sgt. Tim Uebel saved a Pennsylvania woman’s vacation when he found her missing engagement ring on the beach on Monday, July 15. Nancy Georges, from Saltsburg, said she placed her three rings in her shorts pocket while she was applying sun tan lotion. Two of the rings fell out of her pocket while she was walking up to her room at the Atlantic Hotel. The one that was missing was her engagement ring, which she has worn for 30 years. She retraced her steps and notified the hotel receptionist, information booth on the Boardwalk and the Ocean City Police Department. Georges’ friend even posted about the ring on a lost-and-found website. “I was so distraught about losing my ring I said, ‘Let’s go back on the beach and look again,’” Georges said. While searching yet again, Georges met Uebel, who was completing a 12hour shift on beach patrol. “A lot other people would’ve just gone home,” Uebel said. Instead, Uebel marked an “X” in the sand where Georges’ ring might have been, which was anywhere between the high tide and the Atlantic Hotel. He went to beach patrol headquarters to pick up a metal detector. During his search with the detector, he found gold foil, two dimes and three pennies. After an hour, he found Georges’ white gold diamond engagement ring. “I believe it was divine intervention,” Uebel said. “Before I left beach patrol, I sent up a prayer that this lady would find her ring.” Georges and her husband and friends had already returned to the hotel, so Uebel delivered the ring to the police station, where Georges picked it up the next morning. She was especially grateful since she had lost the ring on her first day of vacation and would’ve worried about it all week. “I’m truly blessed to have found my ring and Tim Uebel,” Georges said. “It’s remarkable. It brings tears to my eyes every time I talk about it.” A few days later, Georges met Uebel and Ocean City beach patrol

She presented Uebel with a thank you card. “His dedication — it’s astounding,” Georges said. “You don’t find that every day and I’m glad that God brought me to him because the way that things happened. I’m just overwhelmed by it all.” Uebel said this isn’t the first time he’s helped someone find a lost item on the beach. He’s found an engagement ring for a local woman and a fellow beach patrol member’s wedding band. “I’ll go above and beyond to help somebody out,” Uebel said. “That’s just the nature of who I am. That’s why I love this job. It’s all about helping other people.”

Man accused of death threat and sex offense By Josh Kim Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Swopnil Chhetri, 24, of Rockville, Maryland, was arrested last Saturday on charges that he made death threats and sexually assaulted a housemate while brandishing a knife. He is being held without bond. Chhetri was charged with four counts of first-degree assault, four counts of second-degree assault and third- and fourth-degree sexual offense. A complainant called the police department after he reportedly witnessed Chhetri threaten two people with a knife. The supposed victims said Chhetri came out onto the back porch of the res-
idence holding a knife over his head and repeatedly said, “I will kill you,” and other threats made in a different language. The housemates Swopnil Chhetri said they immediately went inside their room and shut the door in fear for their safety. While police spoke with the two witnesses, Chhetri walked out of the residence, and the two witnesses identified him as the perpetrator. The officer detained Chhetri, and searched his body for the knife, but could not find it. The officer said Chhetri
smelled moderately of alcohol. Two female witnesses from Taiwan approached another officer on site and said that Chhetri had sexually assaulted one of them. The victim told the police that Chhetri had exited the front door of the residence and was holding the knife in his right hand. She said Chhetri yelled that guys were not allowed in, and that she had responded that they were girls. The victim said Chhetri walked down the stairs with the knife pointed directly at her, around her stomach, and said “Show me.” He then grabbed her right breast, and the victim pushed his hand away.
Then, Chhetri put the knife in his left hand and placed his right arm behind the victim’s back, and groped her buttock as he attempted to usher her toward the front door. She said that she felt threatened and scared for her immediate safety. The officer gained permission to search the residence’s kitchen for the knife, and found three potential weapons. The witnesses were asked to identify which knife was the weapon. Each one identified a large kitchen knife with a black handle. Once the weapon was identified, the officer arrested Chhetri, and he was taken to the Ocean City Public Safety Building.
Worcester falls prey to counterfeit money By Josh Kim Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Counterfeiters targeted Worcester County banks, small shops and restaurants with fake $20 and $100 bills last week. “This week, Ocean City Police Department has recovered a counterfeit $100 bill at a local restaurant, and identical bills were located at two Worcester County … banks and one at a Sussex County, Delaware,” Berlin Chief of Police Arnold Downing said in a press release. Pocomoke was also hit. “Upon arrival, the branch manager indicated the bank had received three counterfeit $100 bills,” Pocomoke officials said. “Officers visually inspected the bills and found them to have a high level of realism.” In total, 14 businesses have fallen prey to counterfeit money, and a total of $1,926 has been loss. Twenty-dollar bills are the most counterfeited, as they are large enough to create a significant profit, but small enough to be less obvious than a $100 bill, according to law enforcement authorities. However, most bills are free game for counterfeiters, and business owners and employees should learn how to spot a fake bill regardless of its value. U.S. bills are made from a special blend of cotton fiber paper.
Traditionally, to test a fake bill people have used the pen test, which uses an iodine solution that marks fake bills, but leaves little to no mark on the cotton fiber bill. This test is no longer reliable as counterfeiters continue to evolve their techniques to bypass this test. For example, often counterfeiters will simply bleach real bills and use it to print a higher value. “Remind business owners to pay extra attention to small purchases paid with large denomination bills, feel the bills and visually inspect the bills,” Downing said. The U.S. Currency Education Program strongly advises business owners to learn the texture and thickness of bills, which are finer and thinner than fake bills. In addition, almost every bill contains an embedded security thread. Each thread is in a different location, and all thread glow various colors under UV lights. The only bill that does not have this thread is the dollar bill. Furthermore, U.S. paper money is complex and detailed. All bills have small red and blue fibers embedded in the paper, and the portraits are very sharp and appear 3-D. Thus, one of the easiest methods of testing a fake bill is simply to compare it
Dawn Bowen and her staff welcome you to their new studio
to a real one. Counterfeit detectors that use ultraviolet light and magnetic thread detection are also available, and are much more accurate than the pen. While counterfeit money has been an issue in Ocean City before, the number of counterfeit bills has gone down since 2017. “Since 2017, we have seen a slow decline in the passing of counterfeit bills,” OCPD spokeswoman Ashley Miller said.
In 2017, the town saw the height of counterfeit usage with 26 businesses reporting fake bills. That number decreased to 19 in 2018. Miller said most of the victimized businesses were food and drink establishments. The U.S. Treasury has recommended that people who discover a fake bill to try to get information or a description of the user, and to contact local police.
Pennsylvania man strikes, injures pedestrian with car By Josh Kim Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Scott Allan Baum, 38, of Dillsburg, Pa., was arrested after he struck a pedestrian with his vehicle on crosswalk near 67th Street. “A vehicle was attempting to make a left turn…[and] failed to yield to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk, and struck the pedestrian,” Ocean City Police Department spokeswoman Ashley Miller said. The pedestrian sustained non-life threatening injuries and was flown to
Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Baum was arrested and charged for driving under the influence, driving while impaired, driving under the influence Scott Baum with a minor in the vehicle, failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk and negligent driving. He was held on a $10,000 bond, but was released after posting bond.

Last week’s unrelenting heat roasts coast Continued from Page 1 that roasted the coast with highs well above 90 degrees for three days before peaking Sunday at, according to multiple weather sources, 100 degrees. Whether that’s a record or close to a record is difficult to tell, since the National Weather Service maintains no official weather stations in this end of the county, with the exception of the one at Coast Guard Station Ocean City. Some online weather information services use meteorological data recorded at mainland locations such as the airport in Salisbury to produce their Ocean City reports, even though they generally are a few degrees off from the temperatures on the coast itself. The hottest temperature recorded

at the NOAA’s installation at the Coast Guard station was 94.3 degrees on Sunday. Travis Brown, public information officer for the Worcester County Health Department, stressed the importance of staying safe during hot weather. “This is something where people might think, ‘Oh, it’s just hot outside,’ but it’s very serious,” Brown said. “You could impact your health, you could become very ill or you could die.” Several Worcester County facilities offered cooling stations last week to help combat the heat. Brown said branches of the Worcester County Library, the Worcester County Recreation Center and the Commission on Aging offered refuge for area citizens with some extended hours. Children ages 4 years old and younger and adults more than 65 years old are also considered vulnerable of heat-related illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Additionally, those who are overweight sick or on certain types of medication are also at risk. “We want people to stay safe,” Brown said. “We want them to stay healthy.” Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt.

ceived roughly a dozen heat-related calls for service over the past week. Arbin said that “preparation to be in the heat starts 24 hours,” and he recommended drinking cold water because it’s most quickly absorbed into the body as compared to other types of liquids, including Gatorade. Guards will also bring an ample supply of water with them for their
shifts. Arbin also applauded beachgoers for bringing lifeguards bottles of water while they were on duty. Sand was another problem last weekend, Arbin said, adding that he heard reports of people suffering second-degree burns when walking barefoot on it. “Sand is terribly hot … it’s like walking on a hot grill,” Arbin said.
Worker video aims to create culture of top service in OC Continued from Page 1 properties. “We’re glad you chose Ocean City to work and help us create a cult of kindness at your workplace,” she said. Regardless of a worker’s position, Pursel said the key is reminding resort employees how important they are in the quest to send visitors home with warm memories of summer vacations. “No matter if they’re in housekeeping, front of the house, waiting tables or pouring drinks,” she said. “Whatever they’re doing in Ocean City, they’re an integral part of the customer experience.” Pursel said vacationers often invest decent sums on possibly a-once-ayear getaway, and expect top-notch service. “It’s not just about providing excellent customer service, it’s about being familiar with Ocean City,” she said. “We want them to be able to deliver a great experience no matter what their position. “It’s going to be not just about the eyes and the teeth, but about being familiar with the destination that you’re working at,” she said. “It doesn’t mat-
ter how much you’re smiling if you can’t help them. Jones said the video production, which is being handled with an assist by Dave Messick with Unscene Productions, is nearly finished. “At this point we have started working on the script,” she said. “We have to … get that over to Dave Messick and then he’s going to put it with the voice over [and] B-roll [footage].” Pursel said a rough cut could be tested with current staff after this summer so final edits can be made before next season. “We’re going to save it on a flash drive and give it out to anybody that wants to incorporate that into their onboarding or training,” she said. The video is a tool to enable businesses to improve customer relations, but the end results are user driven, Pursel said. The value of the video, however, will depend on how and when businesses use it to promote the customer service message. Pursel said. “We’re hoping, as business organizations and tourism officials. that we can help them instill that in their employees across the board.”

Woman charged with assault on lifeguard Continued from Page 1 nifer Cameron, 23, of Hyattsville allegedly punched OCBP assistant crew chief Kade Ramm in the face around 5 p.m. on July 7 and also reportedly took a swing at Beach Patrol Sgt. Tim Uebel. According to police, Beach Patrol members were escorting Cameron along with a group of people off the beach for allegedly consuming alcohol. On Saturday, Cameron was charged with two counts of seconddegree assault, with a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 26 in Ocean City District Court. Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin said filing charges was slightly delayed until both Ramm and Uebel could be cleared of beach duties to pay the court commissioner a visit. “I just wanted to make sure they followed through with actually filing the paperwork necessary so that the female that assaulted them would be charged,” he said. Arbin said both Beach Patrol members have now begun the legal process to hold Cameron accountable for her actions. “When an assault occurs, and it’s not witnessed by the police, then the person assaulted has the option of going and completing documents for
the court to go to the court commissioner,” he said. “The court commissioner looks at the documents and determines is there just cause to issue the charges.” Although the situation got heated while escorting Cameron and her group off the beach, Arbin said the incident represents an aberration from typical enforcement procedures. “In my 47 years … on the beach it’s [been] our responsibility to enforce all the ordinances and laws,” he said. “We’ve done that all along.” By and large, when people are informed about violating a city ordinance few press the matter further, Arbin said. “Most people are compliant [after] telling them the first time,” he said. “It could be as simple as … a person throwing a ball in front of a lifeguard stand, which is against city ordinance.” Generally, Beach Patrol finds when informing individuals regarding rules and regulations that the overwhelming majority are unaware of the infraction, Arbin said. “People that are smoking on the beach, they don’t know, and they comply,” he said. “It’s when people want to continue doing things they’re not allowed to do, then it becomes a

“Our job is to create a safe and secure environment for everybody that comes to Ocean City on the beach, so that’s what we do,” he said. “It’s part of our responsibilities on the beach.”

POLICE/COURTS Continued from Page 22 suspected he was intoxicated. Houston is alleged to have exited the parking lot on the 100 block of 67th Street in the golf cart, failed to yield right of way, and headed west in the eastbound lane. After police stopped Houston, he reportedly said he had consumed four alcoholic beverages. Police reported that Houston failed a variety of sobriety tests and refused to take a breath test. Houston was charged with driving while impaired.
Bus stop debacle Brooke Ann Lynne Ricks, 21, of Ocean City, was charged with disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, failure to obey an order and resisting and interfering with an arrest on July 21 after she allegedly ignored a police officer’s order to get off a city bus.
An officer, who was riding an Ocean City bus, saw Ricks and two men, one with an open can of Natural Light beer, during a stop on 72nd Street. The officer exited the bus and told the man that he was not allowed to possess an open container of alcohol, and told him to throw the drink away. The man complied, and the two men began to leave the bus stop. However, according to court documents, Ricks followed the officer into the bus and said she and the two men were going to ride the bus. Police reported that Ricks was intoxicated and that she had to be escorted off the bus after refusing to leave voluntarily. However, after the officer reentered the bus, Ricks grabbed the bus door as it began to close, and would not let it go, police said. At this point, the charging documents continue, her male friends
joined her, and the trio refused to leave and became argumentative. The officer arrested the man for possession of an alcoholic beverage and attempted to arrest Ricks, who resisted until police threatened to use a TASER against her, according to court documents.
Sign crimes David Joseph Harrison, 20, of Forest Hill, Maryland, was arrested after he was found walking on the sidewalk in the 100 block of Worcester Street carrying several metal signs, on July 22. An officer spotted Harrison and asked him where he was headed. Police said Harrison was on the phone, and that he had heard him say, “I’m coming back with the signs.” After Harrison finished his phone call, the officer asked Harrison where he got the signs, to which Harrison
replied, “I’m not sure, I am not good with directions down here,” the police report said. The officer reported that Harrison said that he was a five on an intoxication scale of 1-10. The signs were from a parking lot in downtown Ocean City, police said. Harrison was charged with malicious destruction of property under $1,000, and theft of $500 to under $1,500.
Malicious destruction Police arrested John Allen Beiler, 22, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for malicious destruction of property on July 21. Beiler and another person were walking around the 100 block of 61st Street when Beiler threw a Bud Light bottle at a parked Maryland State Police car and ran, the police report said. Police found Beiler at a hotel parking lot near 60th Street and arrested him.
Trio charged in Boardwalk theft Continued from Page 23 Friday, 55, and Fabria Scandolari, 36, both of Voorhees, New Jersey were subsequently arrested in their area of residence. After initially locating the pair, Miller said the third person in question, Vincent Hughes, 28 of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was also arrested and is currently awaiting extradition. Miller said detectives discovered Friday was presently incarcerated in New Jersey on unrelated charges and will eventually stand trial in Worcester County, although an extradition date has yet to be determined. Miller said an arrest warrant issued on June 10 for Scandolari was served on July 2. She is currently being held without bond in the Worcester County Detention Center awaiting a trial on August 9 in Ocean City District Court. Scandolari has been charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit theft up to $25,000 and one count of theft up to $25,000, with Friday and Hughes facing the same pending charges. Miller said the best advice to avoid falling prey to a distraction-type theft scenario is for store employees to remain vigilant and engaged with every patron. “While that may be hard to do in the summer, with larger crowds and wanting to stay engaged with the customer you are dealing with, at that moment the store employee should continue to scan the sales floor,” she said. Espousing an ounce of prevention, Miller said jewelry store employees should exercise caution when exhibiting items to customers, only removing one item at a time and always double checking to confirm display cases are locked when not in use.

WORLD WAR II
History behind German ‘Enigma’ machine Military coding contraption created to prevent British from deciphering messages By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (July 26, 2019) This week, 80 eighty years ago, Allied scientists and cryptographers were hard at work deciphering the secrets of the German “Enigma” coding contraption. After the end of World War I, it became clear to the German military leaders that the British had been intercepting and deciphering their secret messages. The British also published reports after the war of how these deciphered messages enabled them to fight the war in a better way. These facts made it clear to the Germans that a need for a better ciphering system was crucial for the German military. With this in mind, they began to look for a new system that would ensure the secrecy of their communications. They found the answer in a machine that was originally presented to them in 1918. The new ciphering machine was called “Enigma.” It was invented by a German electrical engineer named Arthur Scherbius. The “Enigma” machine was an entirely different ciphering machine. It used an electro-mechanical system to change plain text messages into code. The greatest selling point of this machine was even if the machine fell into enemy hands it would still be useless. The secret of the machine lay in its rotors. These rotors were actually like gears. Every time a keystroke was made a rotor would turn 1/26 of a rotation. The machines that were used at the beginning of World War II employed three rotors. Once the first rotor rotated 26 times, the second rotor moved one position. The strength of this coding system lies in these variable elements. These elements can be set in many billions of combinations, and each one will generate a completely different ci-
pher-text message. If you know how the machine has been set up, you can type the cipher-text back in and it will unscramble the message. If you don’t know the Enigma setting, the message remains indecipherable. The German military placed a lot of confidence in the security of the “Enigma” machine because they thought that the probability of breaking a message would be almost zero for their enemies. The Germans did have certain procedures on the operation of the machine. They also had manuals that the operator used to set the parameters of the machine for each day. The German Navy started buying Enigma machines in 1925, and started to modify it. The German Army soon followed suit and also modified the machine. Some of the modifications included adding or deleting some keys, the addition of the plug board and using more than three rotors. The British, French, and Polish attempts to decipher German codes began long before World War II, at about the same time that Hitler began his rise to power. Poland had become extremely proficient at reading the encrypted messages of both the Soviets and the Germans. Since the recreation of their country in 1918, the Poles felt threatened by both the Germans and the Soviets. One of the major ways in which they protected their country was by knowing exactly what either enemy was doing. In 1926, intelligence experts in Poland began to notice a change in German naval crypto-messages. Then, in 1928, the Polish intelligence service noticed a similar change in the cryptomessages of the German army. The Poles began to suspect a new ciphering machine. This notion was confirmed by spies, or by listening to German radio traffic. Once the Poles became aware of the fact that it was an “Enigma” machine that was doing the encryption they bought and tested a commercial model of the device. It

was soon realized that the commercial version was very different from the military version. The first step, which started the effort to break the German “Enigma” machine codes, was the result of treason on the German side. Hans Schmidt, because of a complicated personal life, contacted the French intelligence in 1931 and offered to sell them top secret documents for money. Schmidt gave the French intelligence not just the Enigma machine’s operating manual, but also settings lists. The French and British code breakers, in those early pre-war years, could not decipher the “Enigma” even with this intelligence treasure, so they shared it with the Polish code breakers. The Polish code breakers realized that even with the available documentation of the German “Enigma” machine, the only way to ever decipher “Enigma” messages is to build an “Enigma”-like machine, which would help them decipher it, and unlike the British and French code breakers, they did so in 1932. The German military cipher machine, it was known as the Enigma Machine
As the Poles were attempting to use math to crack the “Enigma,” the French felt that the “Enigma” could only be beat with the aid of keys obtained from Germany. The French managed to buy from a German officer various facts about the machine. However, what the French purchased did not give them enough information to decipher German crypto-messages, so they took their intelligence to the British and the Poles. The British were not able to make anything of the new information. The Poles, on the other hand, with their already extensive understanding of the “Enigma” machine, were able to learn a great deal more. The intelligence information that was bought from the Germans explained the importance of the positioning of the wheels and the workings of the rotors. The documents also described the plug board, which was not present on the commercial version of the machine that the Poles had bought. Even with all of this knowledge about the machine, the Poles informed the French that, without a key to the correct position of the rotors, any decryption would be impossible. The French then went back to their contact and purchased the keys to the “Enigma” machine. These documents were sent to the Poles who used them to work on recreating the wiring of the rotors. After three months of work, Marian Rejewski, Poland’s leading mathematical cryptanalyst, was able to recreate the wiring to rotor one, and soon after that the wiring to the rest of the rotors. In doing this he accomplished what the Germans thought was impossible. While Poland recreated a military version of the “Enigma” machine, they were still unable to read the Germans messages on a regular basis. That was the beauty of the “Enigma” machine! With their “Enigma”-like machine built, and later with a more advanced version they nicknamed “Bombe,”, the Continued on Page 77

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 74 Polish code breakers successfully deciphered German “Enigma” messages for over six years until 1938, and they did not tell the French anything about it. As part of the German military preparations for war, the Germans made several improvements to the “Enigma” machine which made it much harder to break the code. The Polish code breakers struggled with the new challenges by themselves for over a year, with some success, but eventually they decided to share all they knew with the French and British code breakers. They did so just one month before Hitler’s invasion of Poland. It was much too late to save Poland from Adolf Hitler, but the “Enigma” machine code breaking knowledge provided by the Polish code breakers was extremely important. Prior to the start of World War II, Poland called British and French officials to Warsaw. There they were given a tour of the Polish code breaking facilities and then, most importantly, they were shown the replica “Enigma” machine, and the machine that the Poles had created to help them determine the key for certain messages. They were then given “Enigma” replicas and documents on all of the Polish findings. The British and
French gladly accepted these gifts and immediately set out to create a system for finding the key for each message. When Hitler invaded Poland, the Polish code-breakers destroyed all of their documents and machines and escaped to France, there they began working in the French intelligence service. It is estimated that without the Polish knowledge, learned in over six years of code breaking, the British code breakers could not have efficiently deciphered the “Enigma” Machine before 1942. During the war, the British code breakers received an intelligence bonanza when the Royal Navy captured naval “Enigma” rotors from the submarine U-33, which was captured and boarded by a boarding party from the minesweeper H.M.S Gleaner. For the Royal Navy, it was especially important to obtain German naval ciphers because the Kriegsmarine, by the start of the war, equipped their “Enigmas” with five rotors, instead of three, making their messages much harder to decipher than those of the Luftwaffe or the Army. It was also crucial because Britain was being strangled to death by the unrestricted German submarine warfare. In May of 1941, another British intelligence success was accomplished when U-110 under the command of Continued on Page 78

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 77 Julius Lemp, was captured. An “Enigma” machine was retrieved from the U-boat, but this was not the most important item found on board. The British already had several “Enigma” machines, but the codebooks were also found and proved to be invaluable. These codebooks allowed for “major insight” into German naval operations. British intelligence realized that if word of U-110’s capture got out, the Germans would change all their “Enigma” machines by updating their cryptography to ensure their communications remained secret. The order went out to the Royal Navy to scuttle the U-boat rather than bring it back to port, and so U-110 was sunk in the Atlantic. The captured documents from the German U-boat enabled the British intelligence service to decipher a German naval message in around six hours. This was a phenomenal ability for the British. The U.S. Navy also had a hand in the race to crack the German messages. The Navy had intelligence services that were set up to try and decipher intercepted radio traffic. The U.S. Navy also captured German Uboat U-505 in 1944. There were several other U-boats captured throughout the war with each one providing its own little piece to the
puzzle. Captured “Enigma” machines and code books were taken by the British to Bletchley Park. Code-named “ULTRA,” Bletchley Park was the nerve center for code breaking and cryptography in Britain during the war. Alan Turing, father of the digital computer, worked with a team of cryptographers and code breakers, and eventually broke the “Enigma’s” cipher. These amazing real war events were the material that inspired book and movie authors. Ian Fleming, who later became the author of the famous James Bond novels, was himself involved in planning “Enigma” capture operations. In 2000, Hollywood released “U-571”, a fiction film which depicted the capture of the “Enigma” from U-110 by the U.S. Navy. However, it was British personnel from the destroyer HMS Bulldog who first captured a naval “Enigma” machine, from U-110 in the North Atlantic, in May 1941, before the United States entered the war. Some “Enigma”-related operations remained under a deep cover of secrecy for decades after World War II. Earlier this month, the Bank of England announced that Alan Turing’s likeness will grace its new £50 note. Next week: Albert Einstein’s letter to President Roosevelt

Kathleen Valcourt Harman, pioneer of lodging industry (July 26, 2019) On July 23, 2019, Kathleen Valcourt Harman passed away at the age of 92. Born in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts in 1927, Kathleen lived her life to the fullest embracing opportunities to share her opinions, spunkiness and humor until the very end. Shortly after World War II, Kathleen married Bill Harman whose family built the first area motel, the Alamo. It was here that Kathleen fell in love again, this time with the lodging industry. While her husband worked as a plumbing contractor, Kathleen operated the Miami Court while raising her sons. In 1958, the Harmans bought a half-block on 23rd Street and the ocean and built the Ocean Mecca Motel. Eager to foster tourism, Kathleen frequently gathered other business owners to discuss issues and advocate for their rights, and in 1960 they formed the Ocean City HotelMotel Restaurant Association (OCHMRA). It was later officially reorganized and she became the first president of the OCHMRA in 1971.
She also served as president of the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce in 1973. She was the second recipient of the Kathleen Harman OCHMRA’s Paul Hazard Award in 1976, in honor of her dedication to hospitality. In 1996, Kathleen was one of the six female pioneers of the industry that OCHMRA named as “Steel Magnolias.” In 2017, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan declared June 30 as Kathleen Harman Day. Additionally, she was an early member of the Junior Board at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, on the original board of the Ocean City Paramedic Foundation and an original member of ECHO, which eventually led to Atlantic General Hospital’s construction. Kathleen was preceded in death by her husband, Bill, and her son, Steve Harman, who started the Poor Girls See FIRST Page 79

Family saves life of pigeon during Kid’s Classic tournament By Josh Kim Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) When Robert Clarke and his two children and nephew went out fishing on the Wigg One for the Ocean City Marlin Club’s Kid’s Classic tournament on Sunday, they had no idea that they would be spending the day nursing a pigeon. “We were coming out of the [Ocean City] Fishing Center, and we found the pigeon floating, struggling, in the rip current…all waterlogged and barely alive,” Clarke said. Clarke said that he and his crew— children, Ashton, 12, and Morgan, 9, and their cousin, Cooper, 12, — grabbed a fishing net and scooped the pigeon out of the water around 8:30 a.m. They wrapped a towel around the lethargic bird and placed it on the dash of the boat. “He was shaking when we first got him. He was all shivering,” Clarke said. Clarke and the junior anglers kept the pigeon in the towel for a few hours in order for it to warm up and regain its strength. The pigeon began to show signs of life around noon. They gave it some water in a Gatorade bottle cap, and watched it fluff its wings and dry off. The pigeon stayed with the crew as they fished all day, catching bluefish

Clarke and the children won multiple awards that day. They earned first and second place in the bluefish division, and were presented a third, very special award. “With the pigeon we won most unusual catch,” Clarke said.

OCMC Kid’s Classic anglers catch assortment of species By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 26, 2019) Altogether, about 300 young anglers participated in the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 15th annual Kid’s Classic tournament last weekend, reeling in hundreds of fish. “It’s everyone’s favorite tournament at the Marlin Club,” said Boz Jefferson, Ocean City Marlin Club board member. “A wide variety of fish were caught. More than a handful of kids caught their first white marlin.” Jefferson, who assisted at the weighins on Sunday at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City, said all of the junior anglers had a good time. “It went very well,” he said. “The carnival was a big hit with the kids.” The Classic was open to youth 19 and younger. Every angler received an award for participating in the event. 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. Close to 200 participants fished from 48 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 on Assateague Island. A few young anglers fished from shore. Children from the Wish-A-Fish Foundation fished for free on five boats again this year – the Tortuga, Judith M, Calico Jack, Bay Bee and Miss Ocean City. Wish-A-Fish Foundation’s mission is: “We can’t cure an illness, make a disability vanish, or remove the daily stress a family with special needs children has to endure. We just try to make one day a little better for the whole family by taking See ANNUAL Page 82

The smiles and excitement on the children’s faces when they catch their first fish (and their second, and their third...) is a wonderful experience and a memory that will last for years.” Close to 100 anglers, which included special needs children as well as those who are underprivileged/disadvantaged and in foster care signed up. Including siblings, friends, family members and chaperones, as well as those on hand to assist during the tournament, that number jumped to about 200. Forty-plus first-timers joined the fun this year. All first-time anglers received a rod and reel combo. Those who participated before took home a gift from Wish-A-Fish. “It went very well. It was a good time,” said Frank Goodhart, coordinator of Wish-A-Fish Kid’s Classic fishing. “Quite a few fish were caught. We caught all kinds of fish.” All were presented a goodie bag and participation medal. Prizes were awarded to those who caught the most, smallest and biggest fish on each boat. A cookout was held last Saturday at the clubhouse for Wish-A-Fish participants. A total of 384 fish were landed on the five boats that took out Wish-A-Fish participants. A majority of the fish caught –
230 – were flounder. Eight of the flounders were large enough – over 16.5 inches – to keep. Wish-A-Fish received $2,100 from tournament donations. The Classic has raised more than $62,000 for the foundation since its inception.

Two Berlin Little League teams still playing By Morgan Pilz Staff Writer (July 26, 2019) Two Berlin Little League All-Star teams continue to pursue regional titles, while two squads’ journeys ended this week. 8-10 League: The 8-10 All-Star team’s winning streak continues as the district champs captured the state championship title in Baltimore, edging out Conococheague, 8-7, last Friday. “The way we played in the state tournament was a total team effort,” Coach Ron Calloway said. “The heart
this team showed and the desire and will to win is what won us the championship.” Calloway said it was difficult to put into words how proud he is of the boys. “It’s not just that we won the Maryland state championship … it’s how we won,” Calloway said. “We won with teamwork, sportsmanship and class. That’s the Berlin way.” The Berlin team, which is 9-0, will battle a squad from New Jersey in its first regional game in Cranston, Rhode Island, on Sunday, Aug. 4.
Juniors League: The 12-14 Junior League team earned the state championship title in extra innings, with a bases loaded walk-off on Tuesday, pulling out a 10 win over Conococheague in Waldorf. “I don’t think it’s truly set in,” Coach Kris Mandley said. “It was exciting to watch these boys go out and put in work and play great baseball. This was our first game that was a challenge for us.” The squad began its state tournament run last Saturday after captur-
ing the district title on July 12, with an 11-0 shutout over East Wicomico in Salisbury. The boys opened their state tournament competition with a 12-1 victory over Frederick in Waldorf, last Saturday. “I couldn’t be more ecstatic,” Mandley said. “With this heat we were playing in … I thanked every one of them for playing in this heat, especially with the age that they are and seeing what they put on the field.” Their second state game was later See TWO Page 84

The Berlin Little League All-Star Softball team’s regional tournament run ended on Monday with a 11-4 loss to New Jersey in Bristol, Connecticut.
Two all-star teams will play in regionals next weekend Continued from Page 83 that afternoon against St. Mary’s. Berlin won, 13-3. The Berlin team then topped the previously unbeaten Conococheague, 13-2. “We [scored] 38 runs and only gave up six this entire weekend,” Mandley said. “We couldn’t be here without the parents and coaching staff and the boys, of course. Coach Andy [McLaughlin] and I … we’re just along for the ride.” The boys have now advanced to the regional tournament. Their first game is Thursday, Aug. 1, in Freehold, New Jersey. Intermediate: The Berlin Intermediate team, comprised of boys ages 11-13, played a squad from New Jersey twice on Wednesday, during the regional tournament in Dix Hills, New York. Berlin won the first match, 4-1, but lost the second, which was for the regional title, 13-3. “It was a great season and the boys did very well,” Coach Barb Kohut said. “They just ran out of gas, unfortunately.” They kicked off the tournament last Friday, with a 14-6 victory over New Hampshire. On Saturday, the Berlin group topped a team from Pennsylvania, 11-8. The Berlin squad suffered its first loss on Sunday, falling New Jersey, 63. However, the boys bounced back with a victory on Monday, trouncing their New York opponent, 24-6, to advanced to Wednesday’s competition. “It was a great season and a lot of memories were made,” Kohut said.
“The team worked their hearts out all season and that showed. It takes a lot of dedication, talent and commitment to win a district and state title. The fact that they are second in the eastern region is something to applaud, not put their heads down. “I was just happy to be along for the ride,” she continued. “It was one I’ll never forget.” Major Softball: The Major Softball League district and state championship team fought valiantly, but fell out of the running for a regional title after losing to New Jersey in Bristol, Connecticut, 11-4, on Monday. “We were happy to come out and win one,” Coach Katie Griffin said. “It was a phenomenal experience. It was nothing they ever experienced before and it was just a lot of fun and bonding.” The squad lost to New York in the first round of the regional tournament, 12-2, last Saturday. On Sunday, the girls rallied back with a 6-1 win over their opponent from Maine. Despite the season-ending loss, the team was not disappointed. “I had someone come up to me and say this was the best Maryland team he’s seen in a long time,” Griffin said. “We took it as every game is a bonus round. We’re not bummed.” As teams continue to travel for games and reach regionals or possibly nationals, donations will be needed for transportation and hotel costs. To donate to the Berlin Little League All-Star teams, a check can be written to Berlin Little League at P.O. Box 514, Berlin, Maryland 21811.
Huk Big Fish Classic kicks off today, runs through Sun. By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 26, 2019) The sixth annual Huk Big Fish Classic is underway with weigh-ins today through Sunday in downtown Ocean City. Brian Roberts, co-director of the tournament said last week that if everything falls into place, records could be broken this year. “We could reach $600,000 [payout] this year if the conditions are right … the economy is good and fishing is really good,” he said. “A lot of people say it’s one of their favorite fishing tournaments because they can fish how they want to fish and for the species they want.” Teams can choose between two 32hour slots: 7 a.m. Friday, July, 26 to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 27, or 7 a.m. Saturday, July 27 to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 28. 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. Final registration was Thursday. Boats can depart from any port between New Jersey and Virginia. Teams can fish up to 125 nautical miles from the Ocean City sea buoy. All fish must be weighed at the Talbot Street Pier. Tournament weigh-ins will take place from 4-9 p.m., Friday, July 26 and Saturday, July 27. The scale, located between M.R. Ducks and the Angler in downtown Ocean City, will be open from 4-8 p.m. Sunday, July 28. Weigh-ins are free and open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. Children are invited to get right in front for an up-close view of the fish. The weigh-ins will also be streamed live this year. Sixty-seven boats registered for the
fifth annual Huk Big Fish Classic last year and $462,350 – a new tournament record – was distributed to the winners. The mission was to bring the largest fish back to the Talbot Street Pier. “We had three blue marlin sweep [the largest fish division] and we weighed three swordfish over 180 pounds. There were lots of tuna and dolphin, too,” Roberts said after the 2018 event. Reel Tight landed the largest fish of the tournament – a 404.5-pound blue marlin. Brian Stewart’s billfish won him and his teammates $244,095. Matt Jenkins reeled in a 379.5pound blue marlin aboard Bent Tent. The fish was worth $48,725. The Underdog came in third place with Jorge Rivera’s 354.5-pound blue marlin. The team was awarded $19,590. Talbot Street Pier is the original spot where some of the first fish caught off the coast of Ocean City were weighed. Nearly 100 years ago, the pier in downtown Ocean City was bustling with activity as anglers took their daily catches there. Organizers of the Big Fish Classic wanted to bring the action, and big fish, back to the pier. The tournament will again benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Raymond A. Wood Foundation, which provides quality of life support for childhood brain tumor survivors and their families. Some of the meat from fish caught during the tournament will be donated to Diakonia, which provides emergency housing, emergency food services and counseling and assistance for its guests.

cause they were falling into the water or not going anywhere. “Right off the bat the current was ridiculously strong coming toward us,” he said. About three to four miles into race, Best fell and the bottom of his ribs hit the edge of his board. “At first it didn’t give me a lot of problems, but with the strong current I couldn’t catch breath,” he said.

and Air, the 45-year-old is in the gym from about 5:15-7 a.m. five days a week. He is on the water paddling two to four nights a week. Best also participates in several competitions throughout the year. The first year, Best raised about $3,600 and came in first place in the charity class. The last three years he competed in the Men’s 14’ Elite Division. In 2016, Best finished in seventh place, racing against several professional paddlers, and raised about $3,000. In 2017, Best was recovering from shoulder surgery and only had two months to prepare for the event. He placed 13th overall and collected more than $2,700. Last year, the conditions were less than ideal for the race. The sky was black, there was lightning and rain poured down. The charity race, which consisted of about 75 people, was canceled, but the Coast Guard gave the elite competitors the go-ahead since there was only about 25 of them and enough safety boats on hand. With the event starting later than scheduled, Best said the tide changed. Nine competitors were pulled from the water shortly after the race started be-

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 26, 2019) Wayne Best will not only be competing in the SEA Paddle NYC, a 25-mile paddle around Manhattan to raise funds for environmental preservation and several nonprofit autism organizations for the fifth consecutive year, but he has also been named one of the event’s ambassadors. “Because I’ve done so well with getting the word out, promoting the event, this year they made me an ambassador,” Best, who recently moved from Ocean City to Bishopville, said. “That’s quite an honor. [My job] is to get the word out, let people know it’s there, why we do it and who it helps,” he said. Paddlers start their trek under the Brooklyn Bridge. They will head north up the East River, into the Harlem River, then down the Hudson River, finishing at Chelsea Piers Marina right before the Statue of Liberty. “You have to be in shape to do this race,” he said. “There’s no way that you can try to be competitive going 25 miles without putting the time in. I think I’m pretty prepared.” Best trains year-round for the race. Before going to work at Arctic Heating

Best said he usually completes the race in about four and a half hours. “I’m definitely going to strive to do it in four and a half hours [but] trying to raise money is ultimately why we’re all doing this,” he added. SEA Paddle NYC is the largest fundraiser for the Surfers’ Environmental Alliance, an organization committed to the preservation and protection of environmental and cultural elements integral to surfing. SEA Paddle NYC has raised more than $3.35 million for environmental preservation and various autism nonprofits since its inception. It also supports Surfer’s Healing, a nonprofit organization that provides autistic children with free, professional surf lessons. An annual camp is held in Ocean City each summer for children. Best is excited and looking forward to the event, which draws competitors from all over the country and around the world. He has also made many lifelong friends participating in the event. “Race director Richard Lee is an awesome guy. We’ve become good friends,” he said. “If it weren’t for Richard Lee and how awesome he is I doubt I’d do the race every year.” For more information about the event, visit www.SEAPaddleNYC.org.

Continued from Page 85 At one point he said he was paddling as hard as he could in the middle of the river and wasn’t progressing. He saw fellow competitors passing him, but in fact, after the race they actually told him he was going backwards. He shifted closer to the wall and got to the 11-12-mile mark when the pain in his ribs became unbearable. “It was like a knife piercing me in the chest. At mile 13 I made the call [to drop out of the race],” he said. “I don’t think I would have been able to finish. I just couldn’t breathe.” Best said he wants redemption this year and is determined to finish the race, which will take place Saturday, Aug. 3. He raised $2,200 last year and his goal this year is $4,000. As of Thursday, he had raised $1,460. To donate, visit https://seapaddlenyc.dojiggy.com/ab1aaba/regpages/pledge/waynebest. “I think I might actually try to enjoy the race a little more this year, look around and take everything in,” he said. “There’s a lot of cool stuff you pass you can only see by boat or paddle. Winning is not the most important thing to me – I’m still going to push myself – but I just want to relax and enjoy myself.”

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 26, 2019) Despite poor weather and fishing conditions for the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 10th annual “Heels and Reels” ladies-only fishing tournament last year, 35 boats still registered and $43,110 was paid out to the winners. “We are hoping for good weather. If it is there should be more than 40 boats,” said Franky Pettolina, Ocean City Marlin Club president and co-director of the tournament. “The ladies like the tournament because it is a relaxed format with prizes for billfish, meatfish and top junior angler as well.” Many women participate in the tournament annually, including the crew on Pettolina’s boat, the Last Call. Many of the teams will wear matching outfits or make costumes. “My girls have fished it every year since the beginning,” he said. Registration for Heels and Reels, open to both Marlin Club members and nonmembers, will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 1, at the Marlin Club, on Golf Course Road in West Ocean City. A captains’ meeting will follow at 8 p.m. Anglers are permitted to fish one of
two tournament days: Friday, Aug. 2 or Saturday, Aug. 3. Weigh-ins will take place both days from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Atlantic Tackle on Sunset Avenue in West Ocean City. The cost is $300 per boat for up to six anglers. A portion of the entry fee will again be donated to the Marlin Club Crew of OC Scholarship Fund. Added entry level calcuttas, or wagering pools, ranging in cost from $200 to $500, are available and include a billfish release and a meatfish (tuna (no bluefin) and dolphin) divisions. A junior angler division is open to girls 16 and younger. “Tuna is a little slow, but marlin and mahi has been good,” Pettolina said on Monday. “I look forward to the event every year, and giving money to the OCMC Crew Scholarship Fund is a great cause.” An awards banquet is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 3, from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Marlin Club. Anglers who reel in the three heaviest tuna and dolphin will take home prize money. First, second and third place in the billfish release division will also win prize money.
