Turbines: all dressed up, A mild, not wild, weekend event turned out but with nowhere to go College to be typical three days at Harris amendment would move wind farms out of areas companies leased
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 28, 2017) Ever since the final public comment meeting at the end of March, Ocean City officials have been decrying the placement of offshore wind turbines leased in federal waters miles off the coast of the resort. The ongoing conversation between the company, US Wind, and those same officials took a turn last week after Congressman Andy Harris (R-1) had an amendment accepted on
the Interior Appropriations bill for next year. The amendment would prohibit federal funding for inspectors to evaluate wind farm projects fewer than 24 nautical miles from the shoreline. Paul Rich, project development director for the company, said those inspections are crucial for the project to hit its 2019 startup date. “If there are no funds in 2018 — that’s a critical time, and would kill the project,” he said. Rich called the amendment “unhelpful” and “not realistic,” on several fronts, but most glaringly, because 24 miles off the coast is See HARRIS Page 5

Gas pumps targeted by skimmers FBI takes lead in Worcester investigation; devices found in resort, Pocomoke so far
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Ocean City Police and the Worcester County Sheriff’s office, with the assistance of federal authorities, continue to investigate three credit card skimming operations in the county. Two suspects were found at Ocean City gas pumps on July 13 at the Sunoco on 129th Street and the Ocean City Market at 142nd Street. Ocean City Police Department Public Information Specialist Lindsay Richard said they could not reveal the suspects, as the Federal Bureau of Investigation Ohio and Baltimore offices are leading the regional
investigation. Lt. Ed Schreier of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that one skimming operation was uncovered at the Exxon on Market Street in Pocomoke. No arrest has been made in that case. “We’re encouraging vendors to be vigilant and to report anything suspicious. In typical cases, the general public could see them [card readers] placed on the readers, but now we’re seeing them placed inside the pumps,” Schreier said. Skimmers typically target gas stations that aren’t open 24 hours a day, have poor lighting at night and lack surveillance cameras. Richard added that older pumps would also be appealing to the skimmers. “Newer gas pumps have more safety measures built in to prevent this from occurring,” she said. “Busi-

Police are trying to determine the scale of the scam, although officials admit it’s difficult for people to avoid falling victim to these skimming devices because of their clandestine installation. “The public can keep an eye on their financial accounts for any suspicious charges and report them to local police department,” Schreier

City manager to visit Block Is. site Continued from Page 5 be fitted with lights, which serve several purposes, including nighttime visibility. But parts of the conversation are continuing. Rich said he received a letter from the city with the idea to visit Block Island, Rhode Island, where an operating offshore wind farm now exists, and view it from a distance of 15 miles away to check the visibility during the course of a day. “I thought it was a huge step to truly evaluate the project,” Rich said. Ocean City Manager Doug Miller said that visit may yet still occur after the season. In the meantime, he said he would be in the area for a family event and would conduct an independent inspection of Block Island this week. Potential impact to real estate values also have some concerned, and
were cited by Harris as another reason for the delay. There is one study, released about a year ago by the University of North Carolina State University, which concluded offshore wind farms would have a substantial impact on tourism there, not all of it negative. The study concluded that no one was willing to pay a premium over what is currently charged for a vacation rental with a view of a wind farm, and tourists were likely to choose a rental without a view of turbines rather than one that did if the turbines were less than five miles offshore. On the other hand, the study also concluded those impacts were far less important once the turbines got eight or so miles from shore, far less distance than is being offered by both proposals currently before the state.
Real estate agents in Block Island said in May that offshore wind is “not even a blip on our radar” of potential impacts to values. Similarly, an agent in Maui, Hawaii said there was some consternation about wind energy when the turbines were installed, but generally, people didn’t care very much about the turbines. Maui has onshore, but no offshore, wind turbines. “My concern is the Harris amendment stifles ongoing and productive conversations, and I’d hate for that to end while there is debate or action around an amendment,” Rich said. “The amendment says all of that should stop while we gather ourselves, but if we do that, it all ends.” Deepwater Wind, the company responsible for the other wind farm emplacement approved for waters off Ocean City, declined to comment. this story.

State to subsidize entry into offshore wind supply chain
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 28, 2017) Despite offshore wind being far from a done deal, following the introduction of a potentially lethal measure by shore’s congressional representative, Dr. Andy Harris (R-1), the state’s energy administration has secured $600,000 in grants to start a new business or to expand an existing one in Maryland. “This is important for businesses in Worcester interested in getting into this new industry,” Worcester County Director of Economic Development Merry Mears, said. Applications, due by Sept. 1 and available via www.energy.maryland.gov, are divided into two main areas of interest: market entry assistance and capital expenditures and facilities upgrades. The grants are intended to provide a gateway for local businesses to begin to compete in the global offshore energy generation market, and are not limited to the two wind farms that gained Public Service Commission approval this spring. Though the regulatory path for offshore wind turbines in the waters off Ocean City has been mostly cleared, the turbine side of the equation, the one that requires replacement parts and maintenance, is still a couple of years away. The state will reserve $200,000 for market entry costs, intended to defray costs for manufacturers to bid on a specific job including some administrative costs or for certain travel expenses. The Maryland Energy Administration expects to issue up to eight grants in this category. An applicant receiving a grant in this category can’t receive a grant in the facilities category until the following fiscal year. The MEA expects to issue only one or two capital expenditures and facility upgrade grants next year in the $200,000$400,000 range. These funds can be used to offset restrictive entry costs, or costs that create a high risk. The catch with the funds in this category is the applicant must provide half the cost of the award. “It’s a vast industry that’s brand new in the U.S., so there’s a lot to learn for everyone. The goal is to get in early, and get in strong,” Mears said. To that end, a workgroup has formed to provide business owners and interested parties with networking and educational opportunities. The workgroup is scheduled to hold an information session at the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce’s office on Aug. 9 at 9 a.m. But even as the state continues to encourage wind farm development, the offshore aspect of this technology is caught in a federal snarl via Harris’ amendment to a House appropriations bill for the Department of Interior. The Harris legislation would prohibit the federal government from conducting required reviews and assessments for any installation closer than 24 nautical miles off the coast. The wind farms proposed for the waters off Ocean City would be situated several miles inside that boundary.

Arrests up, but calm prevails during unsanctioned event Continued from Page 1 sumption (of alcohol).” The College Beach Weekend, held on July 21-23, was advertised on social media and included three parties at undisclosed locations. Over the course of those three days, 81 arrests were made as compared to the average of 45 arrests made on the two previous Friday-to-Sunday weekends. Forty-one suspects charged were between ages 18 and 25 this weekend, although there is no way to determine if they were in town for the event. In the weeks leading up to College Beach Weekend, Ocean City Police investigated advertised parties and called for reinforcements from the Maryland State Police and the Worcester County Sheriff’s. Richard said police were able to uncover large gatherings at local businesses well in advance. “We didn’t shut down parties, because it’s not illegal to have one. But we did make our presence known and that helped diminish any criminal activity at those locations,” she said. “We’re extremely grateful to the business community and to our allied agencies for assisting us and making this a safe weekend.” Other businesses took it upon themselves to do a little digging of their own, and some found they were included in the College Beach Weekend’s itinerary. Some like the Fenwick Inn on 138th Street canceled the event, the #ProjectOC party on Friday night, as a preemptive strike. “They had a private party booked like a birthday party, but we saw the [College Beach Weekend] social media advertising for a rooftop party.
We’re the only rooftop bar in Ocean City,” said Fenwick Inn administrative assistant Tracie Conklin. She added that the Fenwick Inn didn’t hurt for business by turning away College Beach Weekend participants. “We used the space for a wedding, and we were all booked because of the sports tournaments in town,” Conklin said. “It all worked out in the end.” Hammerheads Bar & Grill on the Boardwalk near Ninth Street was another advertised College Beach Weekend location, but owner Danny Robinson decided to organize an informal event of his own. “We decided to put on Country Boardwalk Weekend because what we’ve seen when a country song comes on the radio here – the bar fills up,” Robinson said. “Originally, we were added as a [College Beach Weekend] meet-up spot, but it’s not our kind of event and we asked the organizers to take us off it. It wouldn’t have worked out because on a Friday night, it’s a two hour wait for a table.” From his bar’s location, Robinson had a front row seat to the foot traffic on the boards this weekend. He said there was a definite change from last year. “The good thing about Ocean City is when we have giant events like this, the police blend in pretty well. But there was the typical July crowd out – families with ice cream cones,” he said. “But I got to admit, I saw a lot of college-aged kids out there with ice creams and prizes too. “Maybe they know now they have to behave if they want to be invited back to Ocean City,” Robinson added.

STATEMENT FROM CHIEF ROSS BUZZURO Continued from Page 7 made very few calls to police throughout the weekend. The success of the weekend can be attributed in large part to the business community and property owners. Business owners were quick to address large crowds or unruly behavior on their property helping police stay ahead of potential issues. Condominium owners that had large parties form in their units also acted fast to evict problem tenants. We would not have seen such success this weekend without the help of the business community
and property owners. Many were able to address potential issues without police assistance allowing our officers to concentrate on the boardwalk and other public spaces in town. Many hotel and restaurant owners also assisted in the effort by providing lodging and meals to visiting MSP troopers. Their hospitality allows MSP to send more assistance without the added cost of hotels rooms and meals. The OCPD greatly appreciates the efforts of the Ocean City Hotel Motel Restaurant Association for coordinating this effort.

The visitors that came to Ocean City for College Beach Weekend were very respectful to the town and of our laws and ordinances. The promoters of the event, however, misled several businesses in an attempt to hold private parties, all of which canceled the agreement when the business owners discovered events being promoted at their property. Ticket holders for College Beach Weekend were also misled by the College Beach Weekend promoters, as many of the planned events did not have confirmed locations or never materialized at all.

Spotter pinned between trucks during delivery
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 28, 2017) An 18-wheeler delivery truck pinned the spotter guiding it backwards between the vehicle and a parked truck on Monday afternoon. The delivery truck was making a stop in the area of 15th Street around 3 p.m. on Monday, according to police spokeswoman Lindsay Richard. The spotter was a passenger in the vehicle, and exited the truck to help guide the unidentified driver while the truck backed toward the area where it was to unload. Unbeknownst to the driver, Richard said, the vehicle ended up sandwiching the spotter between the delivery truck and another parked vehicle. The spotter, also unidentified, was able to extricate himself from the situation, she said. The spotter was then taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury with non-life threatening injuries.

This horse, Chama Wingapo, was found dead without external injuries near a campsite on Assateague Island. A necropsy revealed the 7-year-old mare had ingested a large volume of dog food presumably left unattended at the park. Fines for feeding the horses start at $100.
Assateague horse dies after eating dog food, officials say the time Chama Wingapo started displaying symptoms. “While the dog food may not have been given directly to the horse, the dog food was not properly stored away from the horses and other wildlife.

SHARK WEEK Ocean City Beach Patrol pulled a dead sand tiger shark out of the water near 121st Street around 3 p.m. on Monday. City officials do not know what caused the shark’s death, as it had no visible injuries on it. The shark, which was roughly six feet in length, was taken by Public Works staff via a tractor that afternoon. Public Works Director Hal Adkins said the shark was burned in the middle of a 40-acre field at the Ocean City Municipal Airport.
Florida man charged after hiding inside Rt. 50 bridge Resort police, EMS, Coast Guard responded Monday for reluctant water rescue
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) A man who climbed out of the water and then made his way into mechanical area of the Route 50 bridge in an apparent attempt to avoid rescue was arrested Monday morning by the Ocean City police. Joshuah C. Miller, 26, of Venice, Florida was spotted by police as he hung onto one of the bridge pilings around 2:30 a.m. When police asked Miller if he was in trouble, he reportedly gave officers a thumbs-up and told them his friends had thrown him in the water. But when police told him that the U.S. Coast Guard was on the way to take him ashore, Miller reportedly swore and pulled himself into the internal workings of the bridge. A Coast Guard boat arrived, but left after the crew unsuccessfully pleaded
with Miller for 10 minutes to come out of hiding. Ocean City Emergency Medical Services also arrived on the scene. Eventually, Ocean City Police got the keys for the drawbridge’s maintenance hatches. When one officer went into the south hatch, Miller allegedly moved toward the north hatch to avoid the police, according to police reports. When Miller was finally convinced to come out of the bridge’s undercarriage, Ocean City Police arrested him for trespassing. Miller was also charged with endangering the safety of emergency responders while being intoxicated. Officers said he was “extremely intoxicated,” according to charging documents. Two officers said they sustained minor scrapes and bruises during their efforts to retrieve Miller from the bridge’s undercarriage. The maximum penalty for intoxicated endangerment and trespassing is 90 days in jail for both misdemeanor charges or a fine of $100 and $500, respectively. Miller’s trial is set for Sept. 15.

Park staff need guests to help solve feeding problem Continued from Page 10 water spigots for human use to provide water for horses. “It’s not getting better,” Davis said. “We invest time and effort in the horse/person interactions, but we still need people to help us out.” Davis suggests the following precautions: • Horses can open snap-on lids and latches. Coolers and containers stored under picnic tables are not secure from horses and wildlife. Secure all coolers with a nylon strap to prevent wildlife from opening. • Secure all tote or beach bags with a zippered closure. Horses can easily
access open totes and bags. • Store all unattended food in your vehicle. • Store all pet food in your vehicle. Do not leave your pet’s food and water bowls unattended. Horses, like your pets, are opportunists and will take advantage of a free meal. • Keep food stored if horses are in your immediate vicinity. Wait until they have moved on before beginning your meal. • Dispose of your trash immediately in dumpsters. The smell from food wrappers will attract horses and other wildlife, and if ingested could cause death.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) As Ocean City officials develop a survey to collect demographic information on the resort’s visitor base, the one thing they do know is what they’re doing to reach visitors from the Mid-Atlantic region. For more than 15 years, the city’s advertising contractor, MGH Advertising of Baltimore, has been delivering the resort’s message to regional population centers through avenues as varied as television, radio and the small screens of a smartphones. “Once upon a time, you could put an ad on a popular television show like ‘Laverne and Shirley’ and we’d reach a huge audience,” Tourism Director Donna Abbott said. “It’s not like that now. People are getting their information from a variety of mediums. The television and radio ads encourage a broad awareness.” The large scope of Ocean City’s marketing plan includes billboard, cable ads and radio jingles in major cities such as Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Washington D.C., and Baltimore as well as the suburban areas and communities that radiate out from them. Also targeted by the campaign are the states of New York and New Jersey. The resort also has a strong social media presence, and is featured on web banners on the top or bottom of a website. MGH has purchased few spotlight ads for Ocean City, but that includes key travel websites such as TripAdvisor on pages for competing markets. MGH President Andy Malis said his firm also marries the broad approach with a synchronized marketing enterprise that involves television advertising and online searches. “When a television ad airs in our destination marketing areas, and moments later someone goes online, they’ll see another banner ad that ties them back to Ocean City,” Malis said. “Other tactics include working with weather websites. It’s cloudy in Baltimore, but it’s sunny in Ocean City.” Building on the family-friendly resort image, Ocean City officials decided years ago the best chance to reach that demographic is to market to women.
“Most likely, women are making the decisions on where to vacation – the mothers that need a break or that are planning the family’s vacation,” Abbott said. “If there’s interest in changing the parameters of our advertising, that would require a larger discussion through strategic planning.” Ocean City’s desired demographic, according to Malis is women between the ages 29 to 49, with two children and an income of $100,000. “That may seem like we’re looking for a lot, but we’re advertising to working couples where the cost of living is a little high,” he said. The 2015 census data shows the median income per household in Baltimore City is $42,240. In Washington, D.C. it’s $74,551, while Philadelphia is $38,253 and Pittsburg is $40,715. Because “median income” is the halfway point between high and low total incomes, that means the marketing effort is seeking households in the top 20 to 25 percent earnings bracket. Looking at states whole, Maryland’s median income is $74,550, Pennsylvania is $104,653, New York is $59,269 and New Jersey is $72,093. Persons per household range between 2.49 to 2.7 for these states. According to the 2016 zip code survey, most of Ocean City’s visitors hail from Pennsylvania. Out of 21,000 visitors responding to the survey, 38 percent were from the Keystone State, and 35 percent were from Maryland. Five percent of the surveyed visitors came from New York, four percent from New Jersey and two percent from Delaware. Malis said that while MGH is focusing on capturing a certain demographic, Ocean City continues to attract visitors outside the market. “Online’s a bit better because we can skewer our advertising demographics with programs, but with larger ads, we can reach all ages and economic backgrounds,” he said. “We’re as tightly focused as much as Ocean City’s money can allow us to be.” Ocean City’s marketing budget is $6.1 for fiscal year 2017. The City Council renewed a marketing contract with MGH for $23,000 per month.
Teenager airlifted to PRMC last wk. after Jet Ski crash
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) A 16-year-old boy was airlifted to Peninsula Regional Medical Center last Friday to be treated for injuries he suffered after he and a passenger crashed a Jet Ski in the Assawoman Bay. The Philadelphia teen’s condition was unknown as of this week, said Maryland Natural Resources Police Public Information Officer Candy
Thomson. The 13-year-old passenger was uninjured. The two teenagers ran the watercraft aground in a marshy area of Assawoman Bay around 2:02 p.m. Thomson said that the investigation showed that operator error caused the crash. “The rescue was difficult because of the low tide, because we couldn’t send a boat in there as we normally would,” she said.

County plans real estate showcase to pitch properties
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 28, 2017) Now that Riddle Farm has access to its long-awaited county water and sewer services along the Route 50 corridor, the area can be developed more easily and promoted to the millions of travelers and thousands of locals that pass through the area each year. While the shopping center — already home to Wal-Mart, Home Depot and other early adopters — is the centerpiece of a tour the Worcester County Economic Development Department plans for Oct. 26, it is by no means the only available option for business growth in the county. In addition to the major shopping complex slated for heavy development in the corridor, department Director Merry Mears said she would also focus on the downtowns of local municipalities and the industrial park in Pocomoke City. “I learned how a tour could be done during the last one in 2013, and through experience I learned how it could be improved upon,” Mears said. “We’re coming to the end of the tunnel in Riddle Farm, so it’s time to do another tour — but I don’t want to do just another tour, I want to hit it out of the park.” Mears was granted two approvals recently by the county commissioners: one to hold the tour, and another to produce animated aerial videos of development areas, at a total cost of about $27,100. That cost, Mears said, has already been reduced by $1,500 because of sold sponsorships, and could come down even more if additional backers can be found. “I’ve been working closely with the Maryland Economic Development Association to select 58 people to put onto a tour bus with the correct mix of bankers, big box stores and developers,” she said. The tour bus comes equipped with video monitors on the backs of the seats, and Mears is using the opportunity to showcase properties to a captive audience. According to the proposal offered by Mears to the commissioners, the vendor, DB Film Production, run by Daniel Bowen, will produce four videos between 1-3 minutes in length. The videos will mix aerial drone video with animation to produce a before-and-after image of what exists in the area and what it could become. The locations to be highlighted include areas of Ocean City and West Ocean City, Berlin, Snow Hill and Pocomoke. Already confirmed for the tour are commercial real estate firm Trout Daniel and Associates, restaurant Cracker Barrel, outfitter Bass Pro Shops and grocery stores Harris Teeter, Aldi, and Lidl. “This allows us to tell our story, to put ourselves in the center and let people see what it would be like to do business here,” Mears said.

JULY 28, 2017
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Thirty local and state agencies answered the distress call for Queen Anne’s County when a tornado touched down early Monday night, and Ocean City was one of them. Emergency Services Management Coordinator Bob Rhode was deployed to Stevensville around 6 a.m., hours after an F2 tornado touched down on Kent Island. The twister traveled on the ground roughly two miles near Stevensville around 1:30 a.m., bringing 125 mph winds and torrential rain. One person was injured by flying debris during the storm. Several wood-framed townhomes had the upper floors entirely lifted off along with the roof and several other homes had either roofs lifted off and tossed or received other damage, according to the National Weather Service. “The damage was substantial, comparable to other situations I’ve seen,” said Rhode, who has worked with Ocean City emergency services for roughly 30 years. “Thankfully, there were only two businesses damaged, and one had insurance. The
other was a fruit stand, and they’re out for the summer. It’s mainly the houses that were damaged from trees falling on them and the winds. We’re trying to get a grasp of how many.” Rhode is a member of one of Maryland’s regional incident management teams that immediately respond to emergency situations in the state. While at the Queen Anne’s Emergency Operations Center, his
‘The roads are pretty clear by this point, and while people might not have cable, they’ll have power.’ Emergency Services Management Coordinator Bob Rhode role was to manage planning and support operations and to break down the big picture into 12-hour windows. “In shifts, we receive reports to see where we stand in terms of recovery and our resources,” Rhode said. “But the idea is to look in our crystal ball and see in the future to bring people back to where they were. We’re looking ahead for several items, like where the weather is and how we are with utilities. It gets pretty complex.”
Nearing the end of Rhode’s second day in Stevensville, he said roughly 150 people had no power in the immediate area. That shows a significant decrease in outages over time, as 5,998 people that were out of power as of 10 p.m. on Monday. To assist with the relief effort, six Ocean City Community Response Emergency Team (CERT) members went to Kent Island to provide support. Rhode, who manages training, said that CERTs are trained in CPR, traffic management, crowd control and various emergency services, but the six spent hours passing out water and ice to those in need. The CERT team was there from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m., and often made deliveries to those who couldn’t come to the distribution point. “Sometimes that’s what it’s about, neighbor helping neighbor,” Rhode said. Rhode returned to Ocean City late Tuesday night after his shift ended. By that point, his piece in assisting Kent Island was done. “The roads are pretty clear by this point, and while people might not have cable, they’ll have power,” he said. “The next step is to bring insurance assessors in one spot to reach those whose cars were damaged. The end goal is to get everyone in Queen Anne’s County to back to where they were before the storm.”

National Night Out unites community, police Block parties scheduled for Aug. 1 across Worcester to celebrate local partnership
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Fostering positive community relations with local police departments is the goal behind National Night Out on Aug. 1. Celebrations are scheduled in Ocean City, Berlin, Pocomoke and Snow Hill as part of a national event held each year on the first Tuesday in August. Ocean City will hold a trio of community events scattered throughout the resort. Police Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard said officers would be on hand at Fiesta Park on 141st Street in the Caine Woods neighborhood, in Montego Bay at the end of Harbour Drive and in Gullway Villas off Bayshore Drive near 28th Street, from 6-8 p.m. “All the neighborhoods have their own block party,” she said. Residents at each location can enjoy a K-9 unit demonstration, Richard said. “We get direct feedback from people who live in the neighborhoods year round,” she said. “It’s a chance to talk with officers and a great opportunity for us to interact with locals.”

National Night Out was launched in 1984 through the pioneering efforts of the National Association of Town Watch and founder Matt Peskin. Peskin formed the Town Watch group three years prior, after spending time volunteering for a community watch program sponsored by the Lower Merion Police Department, in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. According to the National Night Out website the inaugural event in 1984 drew more than two million participants from about 400 communities in 23 states. The groundswell of support for the event has grown to include more than 38 million neighbors from roughly 16,000 communities nationwide.

City seeks $99K in bike path funds Two uptown side streets could become shared use, if MDOT on board with plan
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Ocean City is hoping to keep the wheels turning on plans for a bicyclist-friendly resort, as city officials applied for a grant to build two more uptown bike paths. If the Maryland Department of Transportation funds the $99,000 the resort requested this month, Jamaica Avenue, Assawoman Drive and Wight Street will be fitted with the signs and Thermoplastic markings for the designated path. Engineering Manager Paul Mauser, the point person on the bike paths, said this arrangement is similar to the MDOT’s Bikeways Program approval earlier this year of the trail that follows Sinepuxent Avenue. “As the town looks to provide alternative routes besides Coastal Highway, these three roads are extremely popular with pedestrians and bicyclists,” Mauser said. “Unlike Sinepuxent, these bike paths would be shared lanes with traffic. The signs will be a way to externalize the new project to drivers.” The proposed Jamaica Avenue
path would run for four blocks, from 123rd Street to Northside Park on 127th Street. Assawoman Drive and Wight Street, if approved, would allow bikers to ride from 118th Street to the Delaware line. Both paths would include shared-lane marking on the roadway rather than an outlined path. The Sinepuxent Avenue bike path, which received a $56,560 grant from the transportation department, runs on both sides of the street. “There’s more intersections that we’ll have to mark in this proposal than with Sinepuxent, which is why we’re seeking more funding this time,” Mauser said. “We’re hoping that they’ll take into account that we finished the last project in six months compared to their two-year deadline when they consider our new proposal.” If approved, Ocean City would have four designated bike paths. St. Louis Avenue has a bike lane for its 17 blocks that runs next to the parking lane.
For months, the resort’s Transportation Commission has worked on implementing a bicycle path that would run parallel to Baltimore Avenue, but issues obtaining easements from two properties have held up the project. In April, resort officials reached an agreement for the use of property at the Rodeway Inn Eco Lodge on 29th Street and a bike-access curb was installed. That leaves the Meridian Condominium on 59th Street as the last obstacle to the midtown path. “We’re moving piece by piece, and hopefully soon we’ll be able to connect the dots,” Councilman Tony DeLuca, who is spearheading the mid-town bicycle path. “It’s fantastic that we’re moving forward with uptown though.”

Beach Bum Inn set to take space of Third Street condo Demolition of OC structure kicks off construction for 15-room lodging this fall
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) A Third Street motel will be expanding, as the Ocean City Planning and Zoning Commission accepted a site plan earlier this month. The Beach Bum Inn, containing 15 rooms, is scheduled take the place of a small condominium on the 100 block of Third Street by March 2018. That property is owned by Inn Town LLC, which also owns the Beach Bum Motel on Ninth Street and the Inn Town Motel. The 17-room Inn Town Motel is on the land adjacent to the proposed Beach Bum Inn, but both projects would be kept as separate hotels. The properties combined will have a
7,100-square-foot footprint. As proposed, the Beach Bum Inn will have a small swimming pool, a lobby on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Third Street, and will be painted a similar dark blue as the Tarry-a-While, the Ocean City Development Corporation headquarters on Dorchester Street. The planning and zoning commissioners were on board with the threestory hotel, as long as all parking needs are met. Zoning Administrator Frank Hall said some spaces will be downsized to provide the 15 required spaces. “The hotel requested, and was approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals, for parking spaces that were 8 and half feet wide instead of nine and a quarter,” Hall said during the July 5 session. Demolition of the 101 Third Street condominium is slated to start in October.

POLICE/COURTS
Assault Stephanie Henderson, 23, of Gettysburg and Kristian M. Mcnamara, 25, of Palmyra, Pennsylvania were arrested after police found them fighting on the sidewalk in the early hours of July 23. An officer on patrol spotted the pair on the sidewalk on 42nd Street, and Henderson and Mcnamara did not have shirts on, though Henderson was wearing a bra. Police said that Mcnamara shoved Henderson to the ground before officers stopped the pair. Mcnamara told police that they were at a nightclub with a friend earlier. He told officers Henderson accused him of flirting with the friend, and she bit him several times. He had a bloodied bite mark on a shoulder and three bite marks on his back, according to the report. Both Henderson and Mcnamara were charged with second-degree assault.
Boardwalk dancing Tayler R. Forrester, 21, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was arrested after she allegedly blocked foot traffic on the Boardwalk by dancing on July 21. Police said that around 11 p.m., a large group of people were dancing on the boards near North Division Street. When told to leave because they were blocking traffic, the group reportedly shouted obscenities at officers. Forrester allegedly started screaming foul
language while officers arrested her friend for disorderly conduct. When officers handcuffed and moved Forrester, she reportedly got even louder. Forrester was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing free passage on the Boardwalk and hindering a police officer. The other unidentified female was released at the scene after she cooperated with police.
Malicious destruction Ocean City Police arrested a 30year-old man after he allegedly punched a taxi windshield, damaging it, on July 22. Officers said they saw a taxi parked near 14th Street around 1:30 a.m., and William Coriell, of Staten Island, New York, swinging his arms violently. The taxi driver was screaming for help, according to the report. Coriell was charged with malicious destruction and disorderly conduct.
Tram dancing Casey L. Pulley, 23, of Baltimore was arrested for allegedly dancing in front of a stopped tram, impeding traffic around 7 p.m. on July 22. Ocean City Police said that Pulley jumped in front of a tram in motion and danced, forcing the tram come to an abrupt halt. Pulley continued to yell and dance, ignoring the tram’s horn until his friends eventually moved him.
When Pulley was arrested, he started screaming obscenities, according to police. He also kicked out one of the lights in a patrol car during transport to the Public Safety building on 65th Street. Pulley was charged with obstructing free passage of others, disorderly conduct and malicious destruction of city property.
False ID Ocean City Police arrested Anthony D. Collins, 23, of Fredrick, Maryland after he reportedly lied about his identity and hit an officer in the throat on July 24. Officers on foot patrol of the Boardwalk around 12:30 a.m. saw a large group of individuals on the beach near Fourth Street. While telling the crowd to leave, officers reportedly smelled alcohol from cups held by two men, including Collins. Collins allegedly gave the police an erroneous name, and did not cooperate with officer’s demands. Collins also tried to throw away the cup, police said. When officers attempted to handcuff Collins, he reportedly swore and refused to put his hands behind his back. Collins also attempted to run away from officers, but he was eventually subdued. He was charged with willfully assuming an identity, second degree assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and an open container violation.
Hotel incident Police arrested Richard Whitlow, 53, of New Haven, Connecticut for allegedly punching his wife in the face on July 21.

She said that she was knocked to the ground from the punch. Police said that the victim’s face had a red discoloration and a small bump on the back of her head. The wife told police that when the couple returned to the hotel room, Whitlow raised a bar stool over his head, threatened to hit her with it and screamed obscenities. Whitlow denied threatening his wife, and said she fell in the hallway. Whitlow was charged with seconddegree assault.
Marijuana Edward J. S. Martin, 21, of Baltimore was arrested after Ocean City Police allegedly 40 grams of marijuana in his backpack on July 22.

Woman seeks appeal after sentenced for prostitution
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) One of the five women that were arrested in a prostitution sting earlier this summer may appeal her conviction. Lachaye M. Hoskins, 26, of Pleasantville, New Jersey pleaded guilty to one count of prostitution in Ocean City district court on July 3. Judge Daniel Mumford sentenced her to five months and 29 days in jail. Hoskins also was ordered to pay $115 in court costs. Three days after Hoskins was committed to Worcester County Jail, she filed to stay the jail sentence pending an $10,000 bond. The order to stay the sentence is pending appeal prepared by the court clerk, according to Maryland Judiciary Case search. Hoskins was arrested after undercover OCPD Narcotics and VICE detectives responded to an ad she placed on Backpage.com, a website that was known to have a “adult services” category. Although the site had removed that page earlier this year, Ocean City Police said that massage and escort services were still advertised. Reviews indicated that sex acts were being performed by women who placed the ads for money. Detectives responded to various
ads that were placed over the course of three days, starting on May 18. Hoskins allegedly placed an ad with Demetria Gregory, 28, of Galloway, New Jersey. The pair placed an ad together that was titled “Fun with Two Ocean City’s Favorite Party Girls, Back by High Demand.” Undercover officers answered the ad, and eventually agreed to meet the women at an apartment on Seventh Street. Hoskins allegedly agreed to perform a sex act for $200, according to the police report. Once money was exchanged, officers arrested Gregory and Hoskins. Gregory was also charged with prostitution. During the sting, Ocean City Police also arrested Catina M. Register, 37, of Georgetown, Delaware and Andrea L. Presock, 34, of Laurel, Delaware for soliciting prostitution. Randi M. Paicek, 31, of Lewes, Delaware, was also arrested after she allegedly drove Register to the meeting. Baseem K. Taliaferro, 31, of Galloway, New Jersey and Charles C. Lessner, 31, of Selbyville, Delaware were also arrested. Tailaferro was charged with two counts of pandering, or procuring a sexual act for pay between adults while Lessner is charged on an outstanding warrant.

Six charged for assaulting students Group allegedly punched, robbed J-1 visitors during Monday morning argument
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Six Washington D.C. area residents were arrested on first-degree assault, weapons violations and other charges on Monday after an argument turned physical downtown Monday morning. Around 2:40 a.m., Ocean City police were dispatched to a condominium in the 300 block of St. Louis Avenue for a reported strong-arm robbery. Witnesses told police that a group of J-1 visa students had reportedly argued with a group of five men and two women. The altercation began when glass bottles were reportedly thrown from the condominium across the street to the ground near the group and their pick-up truck, according to the report. The group then demanded to be let inside the J-1 student’s condominium. One student told police that during the argument, his phone rang so he answered it. The group reportedly thought the J-1 visa student was calling the police, so one of the suspects punched him in the face and stole his phone. Another
student told police he was punched in the side of the head. A third student told police that he was struck in the back of a head with a handgun. Detective James Rodriguez reported that that he had “visible trauma to his skull...below his left ear with dried blood in the [swelling] wound.” Police later interviewed several witnesses who saw two men attacking a student. They also said one of the group pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the J-1 students. After the alleged assault, the group left the area in the black pick-up truck. A 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 truck matching that description was seen headed west on Route 50 and stopped near Wal-Mart in Berlin. During a search of the vehicle, police found the stolen cell phone, valued at $200, and a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun. Ocean City Police arrested the six people inside the car: • Monae D. Harrington, 20, of Waldorf, Maryland was charged with firstdegree assault, second-degree assault, handgun in a vehicle, and use of a handgun during the commission of a felony. • Novio V. Smallwood, 16, of Capitol Heights, Maryland, was charged as an
adult with first-degree assault, seconddegree assault, handgun in a vehicle, and use of a handgun during the commission of a felony. • Jayvonta D. Thomas, 22, of Hyattsville, Maryland was charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, handgun in a vehicle, and use of a handgun during the commission of a felony. • Tijay M. Thomas, 19, of Hyattsville, Maryland was charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, handgun in a vehicle, and use of a handgun during the commission of a felony. • Jaquan A. Vinson, 16, of Capitol Heights, Maryland was charged as an adult with first-degree assault, seconddegree assault, possession of a handgun, possession of a handgun as a minor, use of a handgun during the commission of a felony, and knowingly altering a firearm identification number. • Quincy D. Whitman, 22, of Suitland, Maryland, was charged with robbery, first-degree assault, theft of less than $1,000, second-degree assault, possession of a handgun, use of a handgun during the commission of a felony, and knowingly altering a firearm identification number. All six were transferred to Worcester County Jail without bond.

Man indicted on home invasion and charged with rape
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) A Worcester County jury indicted an Arlington, Virginia man on Tuesday for crimes connected to an Ocean City rape reported in June. Tiroune R. Oates, 25, is now charged with home invasion and third-degree burglary after he allegedly entered a Sixth Street condominium with the intent to assault a woman. Oates is also charged with first- and second-degree rape, sodomy, and various other charges. The victim reported the assault on June 11 around 10 p.m. to Ocean City Police. She was later taken to Atlantic General Hospital for examination, and later she told detectives that she was assaulted by a man she met on the beach that afternoon. The victim said that she met her assailant, later identified as Oates, for the first time that day. The two spent the day talking on the beach, and agreed to buy liquor and to get dinner together later. Around 3:30 p.m., Oates gave the woman his debit card to buy a bottle See SEXUAL Page 28

Man hit by biplane returns to work OC Aerial Ad employee had minor cuts after co-worker struck him last weekend
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Despite being struck by a plane last Sunday, Berlin resident Drew Eckman, 23, will return to his job with Ocean Aerial Ads this week. Eckman was knocked off an ATV while attempting to cross a runway where a biplane piloted by co-worker Chris Bunting, 25, had just touched down. The accident occurred Sunday morning on the sole runway at Bunting’s Field Airport, off Carey Road in Berlin, where the pair has worked together for a decade.
Bunting said his longtime coworker failed to notice the biplane until it was too late to avoid a collision. “It was just a freak accident,” he said. “[Eckman] thought I had gone to spray a field and I hadn’t.” Eckman told police he had just completed inspecting a crop dusting plane and hopped on a Honda Foreman ATV. He noticed the 1976 Grumman Ag Cat biplane that Bunting had just landed at the last moment as he was crossing the runway and was unable to get out of the way. Bunting, who was not injured, rushed from the plane and took Eckman to Atlantic General Hospital. “I had him to the hospital within six minutes,” he said. CAT scan tests and X-rays revealed Bunting walked away without broken bones or internal injuries.
“Only his one leg had some cuts,” Bunting said. “We’re very lucky.” Attributing the accident to a moment of complacency, Bunting said the pair were performing their jobs as per usual. “Nothing was out of the ordinary on our part that we hadn’t done a million times,” he said. “It was a learning lesson for all of us.” After being informed of the accident, Maryland State Police notified Federal Aviation Administration officials who are continuing to investigate. “It was a miracle that everybody was fine,” he said. Bunting also noted the plane escaped relatively unscathed. “The main thing is he’s OK and will return to work,” he said. “Planes can be fixed but people can’t.”

Couple charged after OCPD seatbelt check gets loud By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Ocean City police arrested a couple during a seatbelt check on North Division Street on July 21, after the couple started screaming at an officer. Carmen Gilmore, 19, and Maurice A. Webster, 18, of Nottingham, Maryland were driving a blue Toyota when they were stopped by police around 2 p.m. Webster was in the passenger seat and was allegedly not wearing a seatbelt. When stopped, Gilmore screamed obscenities at officers repeatedly, according to the report. When asked to step out of the vehicle, Gilmore violently threw the door open and swore. As police were attempting to handcuff Gilmore, Webster allegedly got out of the car and tried to pull her away. Webster refused to let her go, although police told
him multiple times to stop, according to the report. When police tried to arrest Webster, he twisted away. Officers then struck Webster in the midsection to bring him to the ground, according to the report. Both were charged with disturbing the peace, violating the town’s noise ordinance and intentionally resisting arrest among other charges. Gilmore was later charged with malicious destruction of city property after the District Court Commissioner’s Office released her on her own recognizance on the initial charges. She became agitated and kicked a trash can when she could not speak to Webster. When police attempted to arrest her again, she shoved an officer in the chest, police said. Gilmore was also charged with resisting arrest and second-degree assault.
Police arrest three men for assaulting Uber driver in car By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Ocean City police arrested three men Tuesday after they allegedly attacked a man in his car and took his car keys. Police were dispatched to Seabay Lane around 1:46 a.m. for the report of a strong-arm robbery. When they arrived, they found a man sitting inside a Toyota Corolla with facial injuries. The victim, an Uber driver, told police that he stopped to allow three men to cross the street. The three men were later identified as Avontai K. Bland, 21, of Laurel, Delaware, Khalil D. Carroll, 21, of Salisbury, and Stephon L. Hammond, 22, of Seaford, Delaware. The victim said a man in a red jacket, Bland, walked up to the Corolla’s driver side and punched him in the face. During the assault, a man in black shirt, Hammond, attempted to steal the keys out of the ignition. A third man wearing a white shirt, Carroll, removed the keys from the ignition, according to reports. The trio then drove away in a black
mini-van, the victim told police. Ocean City Police were able to find the three suspects in their car at a gas station on Route 50 in West Ocean City. The victim identified all three men as his assailants. Bland and Carroll had “glassy, bloodshot eyes…and could not communicate effectively,” according to the police report. Both denied being in Ocean City. Hammond told police that when they were walking, they saw a person driving a car too fast. He added that the car stopped abruptly when the trio entered the roadway and there were no problems. Bland was charged with robbery and second-degree assault. Carroll was charged with robbery and theft of less than $1,000. Hammond has been charged with robbery and possession of oxycodone, as police found two pills on his person during a search. Each is being held at the Ocean City Public Safety Building awaiting an appearance before a Maryland District Court Commissioner.

Irate man arrested after wife struck by tram OCPD unable to calm him without force, deploy Taser twice and collar for conduct
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Ocean City Police Tasered and arrested a man for resisting arrest after his wife was reportedly struck by a Boardwalk tram last Friday Transit Manager Mark Rickards said the tram was turning the corner where the ramp leading to the inlet fishing pier connects with the concrete bump-out around 7 p.m., according to incident reports. Conductors said they saw Christopher and Lydia Campbell, of Blossburg, Pennsylvania, nearby, facing away from the tram. “The conductor yelled out, ‘watch
the tram please.’ ...the woman took a step back, hit the tram, and fell down,” Rickards said, reading from the incident report. At that time, Ocean City police officers and Maryland State Police troopers went to the accident, when onlookers told them that 29-year-old Christopher Campbell was being belligerent. Campbell was standing behind his wife, who was sitting on the ground near the tram. He reportedly was shouting and cursing at the tram passengers. OFC Shawn Lindsey reported that Campbell was “actively trying to start a fight with one of tram caboose observers.” When told that OCPD would investigate the accident and to calm down, Campbell reportedly started screaming obscenities at the tram driver. Lydia Campbell told her hus-
band to calm down, and that the police would investigate the crash, according to the police report. Police said they could smell alcohol on the breath of both Campbells. Lindsey said that he told Campbell to calm down three more times, but Campbell continued to shout and to ask why no one was investigating the crash. Campbell also refused to hand over his wife’s identification, because he “didn’t trust the…cops,” according to the report. When Campbell continued screaming obscenities, Ocean City Police attempted to arrest him. He reportedly refused to comply, and grabbed the Boardwalk railing for additional support. Two Ocean City Police officers then grabbed Campbell’s arms to handcuff him, and told him to get on
the ground and put his hands behind his back. When Campbell refused, Ocean City Police officers aimed a Taser at his abdomen and warned him repeatedly they would Taser him if he did not comply. Police said Campbell continued to struggle, so Ocean City Police fired the Taser. He continued to fight, however, and police struck him with the Taser a second time, according to the police report. Ocean City EMS arrived, but Lydia Campbell refused treatment. Paramedics treated Christopher Campbell for Taser-related injuries, according to the tram incident report. Christopher Campbell was charged with disturbing the peace, resisting arrest and possession of a spring-assist knife. His trial date is set for Sept. 11.
Berlin spraypaint vandal cases over as some fines paid
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 28, 2017) At the third violation of probation hearing since the June 2015 conviction of Jordan Denton and Nicholas Bonser last Friday, District Court Judge Gerald Purnell made them an offer: pay the remaining $500 in supervision fees assessed by the state today, and the cases will be closed. According to the State’s Attorney’s office, Bonser made good on his obligations, but Denton did not. Purnell ordered both cases closed anyway, Deputy State’s Attorney Billy McDermott confirmed on Wednesday. Denton, Bonser and an unidentified juvenile were arrested in January 2015 after buildings, cars and other public property in Berlin was spray painted with movie quotes, catchphrases and crude drawings. The damages were estimated to be about $11,000, but the trio was ordered to pay about $8,300 in restituSee COURT Page 31

Court ends probation for Denton despite unpaid fees Continued from Page 30 tion along with community service and other requirements. The hearing last Friday, which was first about Denton failing to meet the conditions of her probation by failing required drug testing, was about the $500 the trio had not paid as part of their restitution. The $8,300 figure was off, Probation Agent Michelle Peeples said, because it failed to account for supervision fees assessed by the state that should have been included in the restitution figure. Denton was able to prove she had a prescription for the medication that caused her to fail the drug test. However, she had tested positive for marijuana use several times during her probation, which ultimately led to her being sentenced to five days in jail at

the beginning of the year. Bonser failed to complete a required treatment program and was also sentenced to five days in jail a couple of weeks after Denton. Purnell warned the pair during that hearing that if he saw either of them back in court again they would serve out the remainder of their sentence — 55 days. Deputy State’s Attorney Paul Haskell requested the court fulfill that promise during Friday’s hearing, but was waved off by Purnell. Both Denton and Bonser were considered compliant with the other terms of their probation, and so Purnell offered the deal — pay the $167 each, and close the case. The pair agreed to make payments that day, but only Bonser did. The matter is now considered closed by the court.

Picasso captured wartime pain in ‘Guernica’ piece
By Peter Ayers Wimbrow III Contributing Writer (July 28, 2017) This week, 80 years ago, Pablo Picasso’s iconic painting “Guernica” was being displayed at the Spanish Pavilion of the 1937 Paris Exposition. By May 1, 1937, news of the destruction of the Basque town of Guernica, by the warplanes of the German Legion Kondor, in the service of Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s Nationalist forces, had reached the French capital of Paris. That day, more than a million people took to the streets to protest the wanton death and destruction visited upon the small,
Ocean City Today defenseless, Basque town by the new “weapon of mass destruction.” Residing in Paris, as he had since 1904, was famed Spanish painter Pablo Picasso. Aroused by the noise in the street, the artist left his abode to investigate. When he learned the cause of the demonstration, and saw the black and white photographs in the newspapers, he rushed back to his studio and began working on what would become the most famous antiwar work of art in the world’s history, and the most famous painting of the 20th Century. Picasso painted or sculpted 22,000 works, but this was, by far, his most famous. Picasso was born in Málaga, on what is now Spain’s Costa del Sol, in 1881, but for his entire adult life, he resided in Paris. He had agreed to a request from the Republican government to supply a centerpiece for the Spanish Pavil-
ion at the 1937 Paris Exposition (or World’s Fair). But, as of May 1, 1937, he had not begun, because he could think of nothing appropriate. All that changed, in an instant, when he learned of the destruction of tiny Guernica on April 23, 1937. Even then, the painting would not be finished in time for the opening of the Exposition. The only two pavilions, in the Exposition, that did open on time, were those of the Soviet Union and the German Reich. For more than two months, the painter labored on this gigantic work. His lover, talented photographer Dora Maar, recorded the creation with more than 50 photos. When finished, Picasso’s project measured more than 11 feet tall and more than 25 feet long. It was so large that Picasso had to attach his paint brushes to

JULY 28, 2017 long sticks to complete it. Said the artist of his work, “A painting is not thought out and settled in advance. While it is being done, it changes as one’s thoughts change. And when it is finished, it goes on changing according to the state of mind of whomever is looking at it.” Understandably, the Germans were dismissive of the work, saying that, “...it was a hodgepodge of body parts that any four-year-old could have painted.” However, art historian Herbert Read echoed most current sentiments when he described the work as, “...a cry of outrage and horror amplified by a great genius.” After the Exposition closed at the end of the summer, the painting toured Scandinavia. On Sept. 30, 1938, the day that the Munich Accord was executed, the painting arrived in London. The following year, it was transferred to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, where it stayed until 1981 — with occasional visits to other countries and American cities. Picasso had forbidden that the painting ever go to Spain, unless Spain became a democracy. In 1974, art dealer Tony Shafrazi defaced the painting by placing the words “KILL LIES ALL” in red spray paint on the work. The red paint was easily removed from the painting’s varnished surface. Shafrazi said that he was protesting President Nixon’s pardon of William Calley, convicted in the My-Lai, Vietnam massacres. Finally, in 1981, the painting came home to the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Upon its arrival at the Prado, it was kept at an annex to the Prado - El Casón del Buen Retiro - and was guarded by machine guns and bulletproof glass. In 1992, the painting was moved from the Museo del Prado to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. A special gallery was built at the Reina Sofía to best display the artist’s masterpiece. Although the move was controversial, because the artist wanted the work housed at the Prado, it was necessary because of space and security considerations. In 1985, Nelson Rockefeller’s Estate donated a tapestry of the painting to the United Nations. It hangs just outside the entrance to the Security Council chamber. When Secretary of State Colin Powell appeared before that body, on Feb. 5, 2003, in a futile attempt to obtain the U.N.’s sanction for the United States’ unprovoked and illegal invasion of Iraq, the tapestry was covered with a large blue curtain, and the flags of the member-nations of the U.N. Security Council were placed in front of it. U.N. Press Secretary Fred Eckhard said that it provided, “... an appropriate background for the cameras.” Some accused the Bush

Pablo Picasso painting his masterpiece mural “Guernica.”
administration of exerting pressure on the U.N. administration to cover it. It had never before been covered. Columnist Maureen Dowd wrote in the New York Times, that, “Mr. Powell can’t very well seduce the world into bombing Iraq surrounded on camera by shrieking and mutilated women, men, children, bulls and horses.” As Picasso said, “Art is a lie that tells the truth.” “Guernica” has been the subject of more books than any other work in modern art. When Picasso was asked to explain the symbolism of the painting he said, “It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.” Although the symbolism was never directly explained, the pain and anguish caused by the attack is evident through the gruesome arrangement of beings on the canvas.

WHAT’S THIS
Summer Fan Sale
An Ocean City resident asked this week why this utility junction box on 74th Street in Ocean City is allowed to be in such bad shape. He said he has contacted every utility he can think of — it does appear to be a telephone junction of some kind — but that none has accepted responsibility. Because it’s near the sidewalk, he fears someone could get hurt. Whose is it and can it be removed?

Fourth annual Huk Big Fish Classic to kick off Fri. in OC
LISA CAPITELLI/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Junior anglers fishing aboard Reel Chaos display just some of the fish they caught last Saturday during the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 13th annual Kid’s Classic tournament. The crew took first, second and tied for third place in the flounder division. They are pictured at Sunset Marina.
Over 400 junior anglers compete in Kid’s Classic
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 28, 2017) More than 400 young anglers reeled in an assortment of fish during the Ocean City Marlin Club’s 13th annual Kid’s Classic tournament held last weekend. “Overall, the tournament was an outstanding success with the most participants to date,” said Amanda Shick, the Ocean City Marlin Club’s operations manager/event coordinator. “All of the kids who came to the scales and the awards were so tickled to share their stories of their catches, both wild and tame. Their excitement was infectious and we hope it continues to stay that way regarding fishing in their future years.” The Classic was open to youth 19 and younger. Every angler received an award for participating in the contest. Catches were weighed at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City. Those with the top three heaviest fish in each species category as well as billfish release were presented with additional awards during Sunday’s carnival and banquet. Participants fished from 68 boats. Anglers without access to a boat had the opportunity to fish from areas in-

cluding the surf, Route 50 bridge and fishing piers in Ocean City and on Assateague Island. A few young anglers fished from shore. “The catches ranged from yellowfin tuna to a live sea horse to a fireplace screen,” Shick said. Participants celebrated with a carnival and awards banquet on Sunday.
“The kids were absolutely bubbling over at the awards banquet. It was so fun,” Shick said. “It’s always a tricky event with so many people involved besides the kids, but it was all pulled off smoothly.” Children from the Wish-A-Fish Foundation fished for free on five See OCMC’S Page 40
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 28, 2017) The fourth annual Huk Big Fish Classic starts today and continues until Sunday as teams look to bring the largest catch to the Talbot Street Pier in downtown Ocean City. “Come down and check out the big fish up close,” said Brian Roberts, codirector of the tournament. “Fishing [over the weekend] was good. A big [926-pound] mako shark was caught off New Jersey in our [tournament fishing limits] range. A lot of tuna were caught this past weekend. Billfish are starting to show up out in the Norfolk Canyon.” As of Monday, about 30 boats had pre-registered for the fourth annual Huk Big Fish Classic, many of which are first-time participants. Teams have signed up from New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland. Final registration was Thursday. Teams have the option to choose between two 32-hour slots: 7 a.m. Friday, July, 28 to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 29, or 7 a.m. Saturday to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 30. Crews can fish the entire 32 hours or come back to the dock and head out offshore again after a break with the same or different anglers. There are several added entry-level divisions, or wagering pools, which range in cost from $200 to $1,500, and include billfish, tuna, meatfish (dolphin, wahoo and shark) and small boat (38 feet and smaller). In the “Talbot Street Stringer” calcutta, which has two levels ($500 and $1,000) to enter, teams can select any four fish they catch in 32 hours for a combined total weight. The billfish release division, sponsored by Atlantic Tackle, was adjusted this year. Anglers can’t use live bait for the 2017 tournament release division. This year there is no weight minimum for blue marlin, but the minimum length is 104 inches. Several blue marlin met the minimum length of 100 inches last year, but failed to make the 400-pound minimum, Roberts said. There is also no weight minimum for swordfish, but the length minimum is 56 inches. “We wanted to make sure fish that come to the scale are given credit because they’re difficult to catch,” Roberts said. Boats can depart from any port between New Jersey and Virginia. Teams can fish up to 125 nautical miles from the Ocean City sea buoy during the 2017 tournament. All fish See TALBOT Page 41

OCMC’s Kid’s Classic benefits Wish-A-Fish Continued from Page 39 boats this year – the Tortuga, Judith M, Calico Jack, Bay Bee and Miss Ocean City. “Due to the tremendous response this year we have gone to two additional head boats for a total of five,” said Frank Goodhart, coordinator of Wish-A-Fish Kid’s Classic fishing. According to Wish-A-Fish Foundation’s mission: “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 them out on the water for some fun and fishing. The smiles and excitement on the children’s faces when they catch their first fish (and their second, and their third...) is a wonderful experience and a memory that will last for years.”
k c i w n Fe
A little over 100 junior anglers, which included special needs children, siblings and friends, as well as those underprivileged/disadvantaged and in foster care, participated in the event. Including parents, guardians and volunteers, more than 200 went out on the five boats last Saturday. Altogether, the young anglers reeled in about 50 fish. They celebrated with a cookout Saturday evening at the OCMC’s facility. “[It was] our most attended WishA-Fish event since its start,” Goodhart said. “It went well. We got a little wet [from the rain] but everyone dried off. It actually felt good as hot as it was. The kids had a good time.” Wish-A-Fish will receive more than $2,700 through corporate sponsors, service organizations, private donors and tournament participant donations. The event has raised more
than $59,000 for the foundation over the last 13 years.

Talbot Street Pier spot for Big Fish Classic weigh-ins Continued from Page 39 must be weighed at the Talbot Street Pier. “The format is the same – go out and catch the biggest fish,” Roberts said.

Ducks and the Angler in downtown Ocean City, will be open from 4-8 p.m. Sunday, July 30. Weigh-ins are free and open to the public.

International Marine Services will display the latest in electronics. Scott Lenox, of Hooked on OC, will be the weigh-in emcee. A total of 67 boats entered the 2016 tournament and $333,695 was distributed among the winners. It was a huge jump from 2015 when 46 boats participated and $202,000 was presented to the winners. That was also an increase from the first year in 2014 when 32 boats registered and $92,920 was awarded to the teams catching the top fish. About 85 percent stayed offshore the entire 32 hours during the 2016 Classic. The Marli crew took top honors in the Heaviest Fish Division, with Tom Distefano’s 407-pound blue marlin. They also earned first place in the Heaviest Stringer Division for the 407-pound blue marlin combined with a 46-pound yellowfin tuna (453 pounds total). The group was awarded $105,270. Fred Crickenberger landed a 193pound mako shark to finish in second place in the Heaviest Fish Division. Crickenberger and his Foolish Pleasures teammates won $24,470.

The Fish Whistle brought in the third-heaviest fish of the tournament – Stephen Schwing’s 190-pound big eye tuna. Combined with a 17-pound dolphin, the team recorded a stringer weight of 207 pounds. The crew was presented $71,169. Talbot Street Pier is the original spot where some of the first fish caught off the coast of Ocean City were weighed. About 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. Tournament proceeds will again benefit Diakonia, a residence in West Ocean City that provides emergency and transitional housing, food services, counseling and assistance to its guests; as well as the Ocean City Reef

OCMC’s ‘Heels and Reels’ next wk.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 28, 2017) The Ocean City Marlin Club’s ninth annual “Heels and Reels” Ladies Tournament, slated to take place Aug. 4-5, is open to female anglers of all ages. “We are expecting 30 or more boats with multiple ladies and junior ladies on each boat,” said Franky Pettolina, president of the Ocean City Marlin Club and co-director of the tournament. “We have many women who have been with us since the first year. Some of our junior anglers have graduated to adult anglers. It’s one of the most anticipated tournaments on our calendar.” Registration for “Heels and Reels,” open to both Marlin Club members and nonmembers, will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 3, at the Marlin Club, on Golf Course Road in West Ocean City. A captains’ meeting will follow at 8 p.m. A 50/50 raffle and silent auction will take place during registration. Some of the items featured include beach gift baskets filled with sun protection and towels from Sue Seifert & UBS Financial Services; fishing gear from Bahia Marina; an eclectically-filled basket from HOUSE by Salvaged; gift cards and custom T-shirts from Full Moon Saloon and Sunset Grille restaurants;
a tote bag with goodies such as necklaces, wine glasses, apparel and a hat from the Ocean City Fishing Center; a statement necklace from Nest in Berlin; and a free growler plus refill and apparel from Burley Oak Brewing Company. Anglers are permitted to fish one of two tournament days: Friday, Aug. 4 or Saturday, Aug. 5. Weighins 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 be donated to the Marlin Club Crew of OC Scholarship Fund. About $2,500 was presented to the Marlin Club Crew of OC Scholarship Fund through 2016 tournament proceeds as well as from a silent auction, 50/50 raffle and individual donations. 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 (not bluefin) and dolphin) divisions. A junior angler division is open to girls 16 and younger. The minimum weight for tournament tuna (yellowfin, big eye and long fin) is 30 pounds; 10 pounds for dolphin. “We are starting to see a little bit more marlin action in the past few
days,” Pettolina said Tuesday. “Tuna fishing has been decent for most of the summer and there are mahi anywhere from the inshore lumps out to the canyons. We’re hoping that this little weather change we’re experiencing right now with some north in the wind will improve the conditions even more and stack up the marlins for us.” An awards banquet is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 5, from 6:30-9 p.m. at the OCMC. 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. In 2016, more than 200 female anglers fished on 42 boats. Participants caught and released 103 white marlins and four blues – a tournament record, by far. A total of $46,260 was paid out to Heels and Reels winners last year. Pettolina said ladies enjoy the “fun and camaraderie and also getting a chance to show the guys that women really do make the best anglers.” “We see several boats with team shirts made up, or hats and visors,” he added. “It is as much about the fun as it is the fishing.” For more information, call 410213-1613 or visit www.ocmarlinclub.com.

Berlin LL All-Star 10-11 squad eyes Md. championship
By Morgan Pilz Intern (July 28, 2017) Several Berlin Little League All-Star teams won District 8 titles this season and one even captured a state championship trophy, while another is still in the running. Berlin 10-11: The 10-11 Little League team took home the District 8 title with a 10-2 win over Delmar in Fruitland, July 15. “We have a great group of boys and parents and a supportive Little League,” said Head Coach Robert Phillips. “They practice hard and have a winning mindset. Win or lose I know they will give 100 percent.” In the state tournament, which started last Saturday in Easton, Berlin 10-11-year-olds topped St. Mary’s Little League, 17-2 in its first game. On Sunday, Berlin edged out Northwest D.C., 12-11. The local team battled Concocheague on Wednesday night and won 12-5. Berlin’s next game is Friday at 6 p.m. against either North East or Concocheague. Senior League: The Senior League team, which consists of players ages 14-18, capSee FIVE Page 43

Five Berlin Little League All-Star teams win districts Continued from Page 42 tured the District 8 title on June 28 in Salisbury, defeating West Salisbury, 11-10. The team then won the state championship with a 7-5 victory over Talbot, in Maugansville, Maryland, July 12. The Berlin squad went undefeated in the state tournament. “We really played well,� said Head Coach Cameron McDonough. “A lot of these guys have been down this road before, and they know how to win. It’s been a lot of fun.� The boys ended their run in the regional tournament on Monday with a loss to Delaware, 3-0. The first game was against Pennsylvania last Friday in West Deptford, New Jersey, and Berlin lost 7-6. The team came back the next day, and beat Rhode Island, 21-1. On Sunday, Berlin outscored Maine, 8-2. “For the core group of this year’s team, this is it for them as far as Little League,� McDonough said. “And that’s pretty rough for me because my son’s in that group and a lot of his friends he used to play with since they were like 8 years old. “That particular group has won six state championships, a regional title [and] they’ve been in a world series,� he continued. “They’re quite an accomplished group and so this was their final time playing Little League baseball. We’ve had a blast. It’s been amazing.� Major League: The Major League team, made up of players ages 10-12, earned the District 8 title on July 11 in Salisbury after edging out Fruitland, 62. In the state tournament, the Berlin Major League team lost to Thurmont last Tuesday, 3-2, in Fruitland. The next day, Berlin defeated Concocheague Little League, 9-2. The squad faced Thurmont again last Thursday in Fruitland and fell short, 11-5. “Most of these boys, [this is their] last season of Little League,� Head Coach Craig Lynch said. “[I’m] proud of the hard work that they were willing to put in and the fact that they al-
ways had each other’s back. [I’m] looking forward to watching them continue to get better over the next few years.� Softball Minor League: The Softball Minor League team, consisting of players ages 8-11, won the District 8 title July 13 with an 188 victory over the Delmar Minor League All Stars. “I started Little League softball in Berlin five years ago, and this is the first time one of our teams have won a district,� said Head Coach Katie Griffin. “These girls are young – most of them 9 years old – but they have an amazing amount of fight in them and are very coachable.� On July 17 in state competition, the Berlin Minor League squad played Four County in Brunswick, Maryland, and won, 17-8. The girls faced St. Mary’s County All Stars last Wednesday in Brunswick and were defeated, 33-3, ending their run for a state title. “It was an amazing experience for everyone involved and Berlin Little League softball will build from this team’s success and hopefully inspire more girls in our area to play softball,� Griffin said. Intermediate: The Intermediate League squad, made up of players ages 11-13, captured the District 8 title, topping Delmar, 7-6, in Fruitland, June 28. The team finished third in the double-elimination state tournament in Hughesville, Maryland. The Berlin squad won its first state game against Conocoheque, 22-1, July 8. The group lost to Hughesville, 8-4 later that day. The team was eliminated from the tournament on July 9 by Four County Little League, 10-6. “First and foremost, they came together as brothers,� said Head Coach Ken Pilarski. “They played truly as a team, very sportsmanlike, just a really good bunch of boys. “Wherever they were asked to play, they played their hearts out,� he continued. “They’re really a good bunch of kids to coach. One of the best groups I had in 14 years.�
Berlin Minor League Softball All-Star team won its first District 8 title this season.

Sixty-seven young anglers participated in three age groups ranging from 4-16. Maryland DNR was on hand to help educate the participants and the Anglers Club provided free bait. The
young anglers managed to pull close to 100 fish from the pond, which were measured and tallied by Anglers Club members. Fish caught included bluegills, catfish and large mouth bass. Trophies and rods and reels were awarded to the top anglers, but every youth that participated received a prize courtesy of event sponsors. First-place winners in each division were: 4-7 age group, Gabriel

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 28, 2017) Foolish Pleasures Capt. Dale Lisi will make his second season appearance on National Geographic Channel’s “Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks,” this Sunday. Lisi and his crew – Will “Willbilly” Hathaway and Ed “The Beard” Gross – were featured for the first time on last season’s “Wicked Tuna,” where fishermen are on the hunt for lucrative bluefin tuna in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. They caught seven bluefin tuna and earned $33,395, good for third place out of the seven-team fleet. Fishin’ Frenzy caught 10 tuna, winning $42,217, to land in the top spot. Pinwheel came in second place with seven tuna, worth a total of $41,530. The show highlighted New England’s best bluefin tuna crews battling a local fleet. There were seven boats showcased – three representing the north and four the south – and it was “extremely competitive,” Lisi said in January when he headed to North Carolina to prepare for this season. Foolish Pleasures was a member of the south team. But, despite north and south “teams,” it was “more of a free-for-all.” The 10-episode show aired weekly from the end of July to late September 2016. “We had a really fun time doing the show. They did a fantastic job portraying us,” Lisi said in January. “There was good sportsmanship all around. You don’t get paid a tremendous amount, but it’s fun, and it’s great for charter [fishing] business.” Despite finishing in third place last season, Lisi was pleased with the fish he and his crew caught. “Obviously, we would have liked to have won,” he said. “We learned a few things that will hopefully make us first-place contenders. We learned you can’t always trust information from your competitors.” Foolish Pleasures is a 36-foot custom sportfish charter boat based out of the Ocean City Fishing Center in West Ocean City. The new season of “Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks” airs Sunday, July 30, at 10 p.m. on National Geographic Channel.

Sakshi Neupane demonstrates how fresh ingredients are turned into a sweet treat at South Pole Ice Cream Roll, on North Division Street in Ocean City, Tuesday afternoon.
South Pole brings creativity with ice cream roll treats
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) At South Pole Ice Cream Roll on North Division Street, customers choose from a number of flavors and toppings before their custommade order is created on ice plates. “We use fresh ingredients and it’s rolled in two minutes, right in front of your eyes,” said owner Yu “Jack” Chen. “This is new for Ocean City and 90 percent of customers are surprised and have never seen this type of ice cream.” The Asian-style ice cream rolls are created using ice plates kept at 12 degrees Celsius, which turns the liquid base into ice cream while employees make the order. First, customers can choose from a dozen flavors including strawberry shortcake, s’mores, Oreo, chocolate, coffee, peanut butter, mint, banana and other additional fruits. “It’s just like painting and the different strokes,” Chen said. “We have bases [such as vanilla, coffee or strawberry] and create flavors using them. It’s ice cream art.” After watching the ice cream rolls being created, customers then pick up to three toppings for their sweet treat. Honey, chocolate drizzle, coconut, caramel, whipped cream, sliced almond, roasted marshmallow, graham crackers and rainbow sprinkles are a few of the 15

options. “The ice cream being made fresh in front of you … makes you want to try it,” Chen said. “Most ice cream shops have a huge container and scoop it out. [At South Pole] you order one and see us put it together.” The fresh ingredients have the same milky texture as regular ice cream, but without preservatives or stabilizers, Chen said. In October, Chen was in downtown New York when he saw people waiting in line for ice cream rolls and decided to try one. “I loved that it was ice cream in a non-
traditional way with Asian and American-style [influences] mixed together,” Chen said. “It was so great and fresh. I had to bring it to Ocean City and Salisbury.” This style of freshly made and custom ice cream was created on the streets of Thailand, Chen said. Chen, who is originally from New York and moved to Salisbury about 10 years ago, started looking for properties in January and loved the location on North Division Street. “A lot of people know about Tony’s Pizza and we are located right behind,” See ICE Page 46
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (July 28, 2017) With “for sale” inventory limited at many price points, sellers may be able to begin asking for more for their home. But, sellers need to remember that homes will still need to appraise adequately if the buyer is obtaining a mortgage. And, in an improving market, appraisal values may have a hard time keeping up with true market value. “Anytime prices move up fast, the actual appraisal process — because they’re looking back in history, not forward into the future — lags behind,” Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR) said. “From the buyer’s perspective, it’s a tough situation where they want to rely on the value of the home — on the appraisal — yet they know that if they decide to back away there are other buyers waiting to pounce.” In many cases, the homebuyers most affected are the younger, firsttime buyers because they are mortgage dependent. And many first-time buyers use low down payment loans, which tend to have stricter underwriting standards and also stipulate that the appraisal price cannot be any less than the contract price. When appraisals come in even the slightest bit under the contract price, the mortgage financing can fall through. In addition, reports of delayed appraisals and rising appraisal costs have been more prominent as the market has improved and sales have increased. Demand for appraisals comes not only from home sales, but also refinancing. NAR research has reported that appraisers’ median age is close to 55 and as a result, a big wave of retirements is expected in the next 10 years, increasing demand. The Appraisal Foundation maintains records of the number persons who pass the National Uniform Licensing and Certification Examinations exam each year. This exam is required before an appraiser can practice. In 2008, 2,087 persons passed the exam but that figure fell to an average of roughly 1,000 from 2010 to 2014, before bottoming out at 662 in 2016. – Lauren Bunting is a licensed Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Teams participate in some of the heats during Fish Tales Bar & Grill’s seventh annual "Clamming for a Cure" last year. The 2017 competition will take place this Monday in the bay behind the 22nd Street restaurant. The event is a fundraiser for breast cancer research.
‘Clamming for a Cure’ at Fish Tales Competition fundraiser for American Cancer Society and breast cancer research
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Competitors will show off their kayaking and clamming skills at Fish Tales Bar & Grill on Monday to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Registration is currently open for the eighth annual “Clamming for a Cure,” which is a fundraiser for breast cancer research. As of Monday afternoon, about half a dozen teams had pre-registered, representing Pickle’s Pub, the Assateague Island Surf Shop
and Sea Rocket businesses in the area. “Most teams sign up the day before or day of,” said Fish Tales Manager Jaymie Erbe. “We had 24 teams last year and are hoping to have more [participate in 2017].” Final registration for the races ends at 11 a.m. on July 31. The competition is open to those 21 and older. The cost is $100 per team of two, which must be co-ed. Competitors are required to wear closed-toe shoes. Donna Harman, who owns Fish Tales with her husband, Shawn, had always wanted to organize a race that included the sandbar filled with clams in the bay behind the 22nd Street restaurant, which inspired and
ultimately helped create the annual relay event. “The winning teams receive prizes and all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research,” Erbe said. “A lot of locals and restaurants participate. You get to spend time with bartenders outside of work. People take off, hang out and it’s a fun day.” The first heat will kick off around noon in the bay behind Fish Tales. In a single-person kayak, one team member will paddle from Bahia Marina’s boat ramp (next to Fish Tales) to the sandbar, where he or she must find a live clam, show it to the judge for approval and then paddle back to the boat ramp to tag his or her partSee FIND Page 50

Bob Chancler shows off his selection of extra-virgin olive oil during the Greek Festival at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street last year. The four-day festival, which begins today and continues until Monday, is a fundraiser for St. George Greek Orthodox Church on 88th Street.
Four days of food, music and vendors at OC Greek Festival By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Lamb shank, lasagna, moussaka, spanakopita, shish kabobs and gyros are just a few of the tasty dishes available during the 28th annual Greek Festival at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street this weekend. The popular event begins today and runs through Monday, July 31, featuring traditional food, raffles, vendors and live music to benefit St. George Greek Orthodox Church. “[Try] delish Greek cuisine, sumptuous pastries, dance Greek-style, beat the heat and [check out] the kids craft booth,” Festival Promotion, Volunteer and Raffle Coordinator Alexandra Hall, said. “The food is the big draw, then the live band, Greek dance performers, unique shopping and crazy-odds raffle.” A smorgasbord of Greek dishes are the main attraction with choices such as half chickens, gyros, shish kabobs, grape leaves, Greek meatballs, spanakopita, oven roasted potatoes and baked lemon chicken. Additional favorites include moussaka (eggplant and spiced ground beef topped with a béchamel sauce), souvlaki (marinated pork with pita), Greek
salad and pastitsio, which is Greek lasagna that has two layers of macaroni with spiced ground beef and cheese topped with a béchamel sauce. “The lamb shank is a definite favorite, cooked to perfection in a tomato base, [and] fall-off-the-bone-tender,” Hall said. “Veggie lovers really dig the stuffed zucchini and baked veggie medley.” Sip on a Greek coffee while munching on a number of popular pastries including the famous baklava, rice pudding, assorted Greek cookies or try the loukoumathes, warm honey dipped pastry puffs sprinkled with cinnamon and ground nuts. The pastry booth is run by members of the St. George Greek Orthodox Church Ladies Philoptochos and the desserts are all professionally made. Annual attendees make sure to buy enough desserts to stock up their freezers, Hall said. All menu items will be offered starting at noon for dine-in or carryout. In addition to the food, festivalgoers can shop for jewelry, art, clothing, music, imports, toys, and other unique treasures in the vendor booths. After 5 p.m., Golden Flame will bring See PROCEEDS Page 57

Proceeds from Greek Festival support St. George’s programs Continued from Page 56 Greek sounds to the convention center for a night of dancing in addition to appearances from Greek dance performers. Greek music will be playing throughout the festival daily with live performances from noon to 2 p.m. There is also a selfie photo opportunity where attendees can post Parthenon and Greek village backgrounds to their pictures online, Hall said. Up to 6,000 people attend the only Greek Festival on Delmarva each year from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, New York and Washington D.C., Hall said. Two raffles will take place at the event including its “Best Odds in Town,” which gives ticket buyers a 1-in200 chance of winning a minimum of $5,000 and up to $10,000. Tickets cost $100 each and only 200 will be sold. In addition, there is a chance to win $1,000. The cost is $5 for six tickets. Drawings will take place on Monday, July 31, around 8 or 9 p.m., though participants do not need to be present to win. Participants must be 18 or older. New this year, those who cannot attend the festival can buy raffle tickets online at www.oceancitygreekfestival.com. Don’t forget to pick up a complimen-
tary festival program with informative tips and tidbits on Greek culture including Greek words, traditions and decorations of coins. “The cover is full-color, glossy and suitable for framing [with a different Greek scene every year,]” Hall said. All proceeds from the festival support the St. George Greek Orthodox Church’s community and ministry programs on 88th Street. “All proceeds go to benefit St. George Greek Orthodox Church Ministries and Operation,” Hall said. “It’s a small church that hosts a big Greek Festival and most volunteers are parishioners.” The 28th annual Greek Festival is free to attend and takes place today and Saturday from noon to 11 p.m. and Sunday and Monday, 12-9 p.m. “It’s a great event to see and taste the Greek culture,” Hall said. “Come for the food, stay for the fun. It’s a family event, date night or for singles and really for anyone.” Parking is free at the convention center, which is air-conditioned and handicap accessible. There is an ATM inside the building, and major credit cards will be accepted. For more information, visit www.oceancitygreekfestival.com, check out Greek Festival Ocean City Maryland on Facebook or call St. George Greek Orthodox Church at 410-524-0990.

Third annual Yogivibez Fest at Seacrets this Saturday By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Wind down from the busy summer grind with Dance Flow and AcroYoga classes during the third annual Yogivibez Fest on Saturday, July 29, from 9 a.m. to noon at Seacrets on 49th Street. The event begins with an AcroYoga class led by Asana Root’s Kelly Marburger and Eric Sipes on the Seacrets beach from 9-10 a.m., which blends the practices of yoga, acrobatics and therapeutics. Participants will connect with others while also learning about alignment and themselves. No partner is necessary. “This year is a bit different with the first class on the beach and the other inside the nightclub,” said Seacrets Marketing Manager Jackie Miller. “The instructors are renowned and knowledgeable. It’s new, fun and we have a few surprises in store. You can be a beginner or an expert and it’s open to all skill levels.” Following at 10:30 a.m., Dance Flow Yoga with Dawn Ehman, Kate Grove and Charlie Bauer will take place inside the Morley Hall nightclub until noon. DJ JJ Roth will spin the dance music during the dynamic yoga class where participants groove to the beat. “It’s something new and different,”
said Ehman, Yogivibez coordinator and creator. “Very energetic, high-energy and a different vibe then taking a class in a studio or on the beach.” Each class costs $35 individually or $60 for both, which will also include a light breakfast, a drink, swag bag filled with goodies and exclusive access to yoga, boutique and wellness vendors. Event sponsors will have booths set up to purchase merchandise and provide information at the 49th Street venue, including Ish Boutique, Happy Trunk, Isagenix, Sunrise Paddleboards, BomShell Boutique and Lululemon. New mats can be purchased from Yoloha yoga mats and Real Raw Organics will have Kombucha and acai bowls. In addition, local businesses Evolve Paddle Boards, Coastal Coffee Roasting and Yogavibez will be in attendance. Ehman owns Yogavibez on Route 50 in West Ocean City and the goal was to bring a huge yoga event to the area, which has two unique yoga classes this year. Yogivibez featured MC Yogi the last couple of years, but he was not available this weekend and may be back for future events, she said. See DANCE Page 60

Peach Festival at St. Peter’s Church in Ocean City, Aug. 3
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Check out the annual Peach Festival, hosted by St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, on Thursday, Aug. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring a flea market, bake sale, peaches and ice cream, smoothies and picked fresh, right-off-the-tree fruit. “It’s one of my favorite events to do and it’s a satisfying day with fellowship for a good cause,” said Ginny Stannard, who co-chairs the festival with Dee Floyd. “You can come and shop, fill yourself up with delicious food and find good bargains.” The event has evolved into a twoday flea market since it first began in 1995, and includes concessions stands, vendors, a silent auction, children’s corner, holiday items, books and a smorgasbord of baked goods with an emphasis on peaches at the church on 103rd Street in Ocean City. Peaches are picked fresh by members of the congregation from Bennett Orchards in Frankford, Delaware and will be on sale for $1 each. Last year, at least $400 worth of fruit was sold during the festival, Stannard said. Bennett Orchards usually donates 100 pounds of peaches to be used in the festival’s peach smoothies and peaches and crème vanilla ice cream, she said. Attendees can purchase hamburgers, hot dogs, soda and chips along with a huge baked goods selection for dessert including cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, cupcakes and cobblers. “All the goodies you can imagine,” Stannard said. “The ladies of the church can bake. Any baked items not sold on Thursday will be available during the flea market on Friday.” A children’s corner is slated to have face painting and games with prizes in addition to at least 10 vendors including a farmers market, cosmetics and jewelry. There will be two rooms of holiday decorations, a huge book sale and a nurse will be on hand to take complementary blood pressure readings.
The silent auction includes hotel stays, a beach bag, kitchen and hostess items, baskets of goodies and decorative items, Stannard said. Dishes, books and holiday decorations, pillows, kitchen items, toys, small electronics, glassware, craft items, Legos, a crystal tape dispenser, China, picture frames and CDs can be found at the flea market, which runs all day Thursday and again Friday, Aug. 4, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “The flea market is how we make money and it worked out very well last year,” Stannard said. “There are odds and ends. No furniture or mattresses.” Last year, St. Peter’s raised more than $6,000 during the festival with 10 percent going to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the same amount benefited a crisis fund for those in need of help with electric bills or rent payments in Ocean City. Remaining proceeds go into a mortgage reduction fund. Church members agreed to allocate funds to the same places this year as well, Stannard said. Call St Peter’s Lutheran Church at 410-524-7474 or visit www.stpetersoc.com for more information.

‘Cool Runnin’s Fastest Server on Da Beach’ By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 28, 2017) Participants will race through a beach obstacle course balancing a tray of drinks including a bottle of Tropicale beer, a glass of wine and a can of Red Bull during the eighth annual “Cool Runnin’s Fastest Server on Da Beach” contest at Seacrets on Tuesday, Aug. 1. Area bartenders, waiters and waitresses will put their skills on display while competing for a first-place prize package worth at least $1,000 at the 49th Street establishment. “The goal is to have the most participants as possible that way we give Children’s House the most money as possible,” said Christine Komlos, event organizer and Seacrets’ frontof-house manager. “It is absolutely my favorite charity. The fact they give
those kids and their families a vacation from hospital stays and everything they deal with makes it an amazing charity.” Proceeds will be donated to Believe in Tomorrow’s Children’s House by the Sea, a local nonprofit organization providing a free getaway to the beach for critically ill children and their families whenever they may need to escape the stresses of their child’s illness. “It’s a fun event to watch people compete,” said Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Respite Housing Program. “Seacrets is so generous for always supporting us and it’s a fun day even if you aren’t participating.” Spectators are encouraged to come watch the action and enjoy $5 Seacrets spirits and rum specials in
the contest area. Seacrets spirits specials include shots and mixed drinks while the contest is going on. There is no cover charge. “We have drink specials during the contest, there is no stress on yourself and you can cheer on your friends,” Komlos said. In 2016, 62 people participated in the contest with “Fast Eddie” Clark from BJ’s on the Water taking home first place, which he has won several years. Seacrets raised more than $1,200 for Believe in Tomorrow and at least 200 people came out to catch the action, she added. “Participation goes up every year and it alway fluctuates,” Komlos said. “We hope for at least 75 people.” The obstacle course takes servers and bartenders one at a time, up a hill in front of Seacrets’ Beach Stage and back as they dodge tires, chairs, ta-
bles, navigate a kiddie pool and go under a limbo stick. The entire time, service industry employees carry a tray with a Tropicale bottle, a wine glass and a can of Red Bull. “It is so fun and hysterical seeing them run and almost get to the finish line just to drop everything… going so fast,” Komlos said. “You see people come in groups from the same restaurant and wear the same outfits. It’s a blast to see them race through. “We come up with something new [for the obstacle course every year],” she added. “Look for another surprise.” Servers cannot touch the tray with their other hand and if anything falls over they are disqualified. The fastest time wins and the firstplace finisher takes home a prize package worth at least $1,000 in gift See AREA’S Page 62

In addition, the winner will receive a ticket for a chance at $10,000 from the annual Believe in Tomorrow fundraiser. Last year’s prize package was worth at least $2,300 with $500 in cash, a Seacrets Gold card, gift cards from local businesses and concert tickets, Komlos said. “I put my staff in teams and they go out with a letter and a flyer to local businesses [explaining the event and donations to Believe in Tomorrow],” Komlos said. “The letter asks for a donation in the form of a gift card or merchandise for the prize packages.” The top three finishers will receive a trophy in addition to cash and prizes donated from local businesses. Last year, second place took home about $1,460 in prizes including $250 in cash from Seacrets. Third place was given $665 in prizes including $100 in cash from Seacrets. All participants will take home a souvenir T-shirt and there will also be a 50/50 raffle. Believe in Tomorrow volunteers will be onsite selling raffle tickets and merchandise, such as T-shirts and wristbands throughout the event, which starts at 12:30 p.m. and lasts until the last server has run the course and is judged by volunteers from the organization, Komlos said.
“Believe in Tomorrow volunteers come and will referee,” Komlos said. “They help out all day and are great people. They will have a table set up selling T-shirts and raffle tickets.” Since the contest’s inception, Seacrets has donated close to $10,000 to the nonprofit organization, Littleton said. “It’s a good day to laugh and have fun,” Littleton said. “I participated when I was younger and it was at the convention center. It’s just a happy and fun day. It has grown every year at Seacrets and they make a nice donation. They are kindhearted people with huge hearts and always think of us.” When Seacrets employees were asked to come up with new events to feature at the 49th Street establishment eight years ago, Komlos thought it would be a good idea to bring back the waiter and waitress race. “Let’s do it for the Believe in Tomorrow charity because that is my favorite charity and it stuck,” Komlos said. “It is a community event and a time where you get to see people during the busy summer. A great day to make new friends too.” Organizers of the event are still looking for cash donations, merchandise or gift cards from bars, restaurants and businesses to fill the prize packages for winners.

Jesus at the Beach Music & Ministry Festival next week
By Morgan Pilz Intern (July 28, 2017) Hundreds of people are expected to participate in the 23rd annual Jesus at the Beach Music & Ministry Festival, hosted by Son’Spot Ministries, Monday, July 31 to Wednesday, Aug. 2. 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 from 7-10 p.m. “Inside [the convention center], there will be praise, worship music, some interpretive dance and teaching from the bible,” said Jesus at the Beach Director, Gary Steger. “Outside is not so much the teaching part. Outside at nighttime would be mostly praise and worship music.” The free event was first created in 1995 when Son’Spot Ministries was inspired to have a festival where multiple groups can come and enjoy being together for three days. This year, Son’Spot will welcome seven groups from various churches in Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania that will minister in music, testimony, prayer and immerse in interactive dance. Attendees should bring their own blankets and chairs to the beach. 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 after the conclusion of a meeting in the convention center. “[The baptism is] a public demonstration of their faith,” Steger said. “It’s symbolic of the old man being buried and the new man arising. The bible says when you’re born again, you’re a new creature of Christ. So, it’s a public testimony or public demonstration of what occurred spiritually for that person.” Local sand sculptor Randy Hofman will create one of his masterpieces on the beach Monday night. There will be a Tshirt stand and information canopy set See BAPTISM Page 65

T-shirts cost $15. “[It’s] a designated prayer canopy near the Boardwalk and a lot of people come there walking by for us to pray with them,” Steger said. “It becomes a very busy part of what we’re doing. We’ll have prayer counselors, prayers and worship music, some testimonies and some [interpretive dance].” The event draws a couple thousand people who stop along the Boardwalk and beach to watch the festivities or concerts taking place on the Caroline Street stage. “It’s just a fun time to get together, kind of like a family reunion,” Steger said. “A lot of the different groups that help us at other times come together at the same time and just enjoy having that fellowship, the teaching, the worship, the music, the dance and the interpretive dance.” Son’Spot Ministries, on Worcester Street in downtown Ocean City, started
in 1981 with daily gatherings for the Bible, fellowship and Christian music. A ministry team or group visits for a week and helps in the daily ministry. The Son’Spot continues to be a missionary outreach of the Body of Christ, emphasizing salvation and victory in Jesus, through evangelism, fellowship and Holy Spirit ministry. “It’s seeking the Lord, praising the Lord, worshiping the Lord publicly,” Steger said. “That’s the outreach that we’re representing by us publicly praising the Lord and talking about him and having some people [testify]. Someone will get up and talk about how God changed their life so people can hear that and help them. Someone will say, ‘Wow, that sounds like me’ and ‘Look what God did for him, look how he helped them.’” There is plenty of free parking at the convention center and riding the city bus to downtown festivities is encouraged. The cost is $3 ride-all-day. Evening ministries will take place in

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
OCBP warns of rip current dangers
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (July 28, 2017) If you spend anytime at the beach and listen to local television or radio at this time of the year, you will hear about the dangers of rip currents. I get a lot of questions about what the difference between a rip current and a rip tide is and what makes them so dangerous. You will see on local and national news coverage stories about rip currents. Although they are often mistakenly referred to as “rip tides,” they are in fact a current. A current is simply a volume of water moving from one location to another. In contrast, tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun and occur about every 12 hours. What makes a rip current dangerous is that it moves water away from the beach and out to sea, where north or south currents just move water along the beach. As water flows away from the beach, in the rip, anything or anyone in that water will also be pulled steadily away from shore. This action not only accounts for how unsuspecting bathers and people that never intended to go out further than their waist are pulled into water that is over their heads. It also is responsible for creating the telltale signs that identify a rip current to the trained eye. As waves break and stir up the sandy bottom and create foam this discolored water and foam are carried away from the shore clearly marking the location of a rip current. While the mechanics of a rip current are easily understood, they still remain the greatest surf zone hazard for anyone enjoying water activities at any beach (80 percent worldwide) and account for 95 percent of all water related rescues in Ocean City. Rip currents are such a well-known natural hazard that the National Weather Service has identified them as the third leading cause of weather-related death. If you question the seriousness of this threat then just take a moment to realize that not all states could even contribute to this statistic because not all states have ocean beaches. So being the third leading cause of weather-related death is quite significant. To understand how to escape a rip current it is important to understand what causes rip currents. Rip currents occur when water that comes into the beach by wave action and wind needs to make it’s way back out. Because a sand bar runs the length of Ocean City, water that has come over the sand bar needs to make its way back out. Because wave action continues to bring water over the sandbar, the water has difficulty going out against the incoming flow. Water will take the path of least resistance and find a lower spot along the
JULY 28, 2017
sandbar to become the natural path for the flow of the water. As more water comes across the sandbar the volume in the trough (water trapped between the beach and sandbar) increases and this additional volume of water causes an increasingly greater volume of water to flow through this path. As water flows along this path it will move sand and creates a deep underwater channel from the shoreline through the sandbar. As waves break near the beach they cause a change in bathometry (the contour of the ocean bottom), which causes a constant change in the sandbar and thus rip current locations and severity are constantly changing. Rips can open up at any given time, sometimes referred to as “flash rips.” Just last week I was out swimming and I could see little rips opening up where just minutes before there weren’t any in the area where I was swimming. It was a rough choppy day and the sandbar was being broken away. Another factor that has an influence on the frequency and severity of rip current activity is water depth, which is directly related to changing tides. This is why rip current risk may be reported as moderate at 1 p.m. and become high at 4 p.m. The Ocean City Beach Patrol provides rip current assessments to NOAA three times each day. We have also worked directly with scientists to understand rip currents and how to better forecast and predict them. Although rip currents do not pull a person under water as a lot of people believe, it is the deep channel cut into the sandbar that gives the impression that a swimmer maybe pulled down. In reality what is happening is a nonswimmer who intended to remain only in waste deep water is being moved by the rip current into increasingly deeper water channel. Since they cannot swim, they try to stand on the bottom and as they move away from the shore the water becomes over their head and they are no longer able to keep their head above water. Therefore, a person watching from the beach may think that what they believe they are seeing is a person being pulled under. In fact, it is a non-swimmer who does not have the ability to keep their head above water. If this occurs while the beach patrol is on duty, the lifeguard will simply assist the person back to safety. However if this occurs while lifeguards are not on duty, the outcome could be deadly. You may believe that only nonswimmers drown as a result of rip currents while in reality many rip current drowning victims had moderate to good swimming ability. This brings up the question, why would a person who knows how to swim, drown? The answer is simple. Panic, fatigue and lack of ocean awareness all contribute to the outcome. A rip current is very much like a treadmill. As water is flowing away from the beach, a swimmer attempting
to swim straight in will make little or no progress against this outgoing current. Since a rip current may flow faster than an Olympic swimmer (Michael Phelps) can swim, swimming against this current only causes a person in this situation to become fatigued while getting no closer to the beach. Eventually they become so fatigued that they are no longer able to keep their head above water and once they slip below the water’s surface and are no longer able to get air, they become unconscious and only have moments before they become a statistic. In contrast, a swimmer or someone with a flotation device can easily escape the pull of the rip. By nature a typical rip current is not very wide usually 20 yards at most which means that a person who is being pulled out can be out of the rip after a few swimming strokes. Also once the rip current flows through the cut in the sandbar the pull disperses and the current no longer continues to pull you away from shore. With these facts in mind, if you find yourself being pulled away from shore, do not panic simply swim parallel to shore and once you no longer feel the pull of the rip, swim back into shore. If you feel you are unable to swim across the rip, relax, let it take you out to the sandbar and then swim back to shore. Whatever you do, never abandon a flotation device and always signal the lifeguard if you want their assistance. In most cases they will already be on their way to assist you back to safety. Even our lifeguards will not attempt to swim straight in against a rip current. They use their knowledge of the ocean to swim parallel to the beach until they are out of the rip current and then make their way back into safety with a victim in tow. If you can remember the word RIP then you can remember what to do to save your life, R = Relax and do not panic, I = I need help (wave your arm), P= Swim parallel to return to safety. For additional information about rip currents and other water safety topics, visit our webpage www.ococean.com/ocbp and follow the safety button. NOAA also has a very informative site to learn more about how they occur and how to remain safe, www.ripcurrents.noaa.gov/. We recently attended a Rip Current and Surf Zone conference at the University of Delaware. I was excited to be able to network with other organizations including NOAA about current rip current and surf zone research. My best advice to you is to only swim when lifeguards are on duty and you can always approach any of our friendly and knowledgeable lifeguards and ask them to talk to you about current conditions and information about rip currents.

Walker prepares po-boy sandwich with fried tilapia By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (July 28, 2017) As time progresses my thoughts turn inward and reflection simmers within. Family has an unmistakable influence that permeates purpose. Each day our lives are sweetened by love ones; never take these blessings for granted. As I take a chance and peer into the window of ancestry, I allow myself to step back and remember some of these precious moments. The clock of progression does not always tick to the same beat. Time to be with myself leads me to my dock where it is apparent the weather has demonstrated dominance. A fishing pole in hand is a sign serenity is on the horizon. A lone seagull sits near me. It seems we have much in common, I cannot believe my grandmother and father are no longer with us. I must confess I really do not know much about fishing, but my attempts are sincere for sure. My dangling feet can almost touch this mysterious world beneath me; the thought of catching fresh fish stimulates my hungry appetite. Sitting on the dock gives one a whole new perspective on Mother Nature. The incredible calmness enhances the beauty of my surroundings. A little bubble here and there tickles my fancy for the sea; hopefully I will snag a good one. Nanny and dad loved fried fish, I miss Nanny’s cooking and dad’s charm. Change is inevitable, but how we accept it is the key. There is a difference between peacefulness and loneliness; I am quite content befriending the wonders of the sea with my feathered friend. As I wait for that fateful tug, I recall Nanny’s three secrets for fish frying. First, add a little bacon drippings to your frying oil, this step gives your oil more depth of flavor. Secondly, think of the flour as glue for the frying process. Dipping the fish in flour allows the egg wash to adhere better, then proceed with adding the panko and cornmeal crust. Finally, place the cooked fish on cooling racks as opposed to resting them on soggy paper towels, this simple steps ensures a crunchy exterior. Details determine the degrees of excellence; Nanny preferred tartar sauce whereas dad opted for cocktail sauce. As I wait with utter paSee ADD Page 68

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Add fried tomatoes to po-boy Continued from Page 66 tience and try to imagine the catch I am about to reel in, I try to figure out how I can put a spin on a fried fish sandwich. Keeping with tradition but elevating it to new heights is my culinary point of view. A po-boy sandwich that showcases fried fish sounds intriguing. For those who are not familiar with po-boys history, a brief explanation follows. According to The History of PoBoy, Bennie and Clovis Martin left their Raceland, Louisiana, home for New Orleans. Both worked as conductors until they opened Martin Brothers Coffee Stand and Restaurant in the French Market in 1922. Following heated contract negotiations, the streetcar motormen and conductors declared a strike on July 1, 1929. Transit strikes throughout the nation provoked enormous emotional displays of public support and the 1929 strike ranks among the nations most violent. A highly sympathetic public participated in great numbers by avoiding the transit system which remained shut down for two weeks. The Martin brothers promised free food to any members of the Division 194. In order to fulfill their promise, the Martins provided large sandwiches to the strikers. The History of the Po-Boy quotes Bennie Martin as saying, “We fed those strikers free of charge until the strike ended. Whenever we saw one of them coming in, one of us would say, ‘Here comes another poor boy.”’ As I continue my streak of persistence for fresh fish, I review what a po-boy is. Po-boy is a sandwich that consists of a crispy loaf of bread, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, remoulade or Creole mayonnaise usually paired with meat, fried seafood, sausage, or whatever you want the main component of your sandwich to be. Tilapia will be the star of my po-boy; frozen tilapia is very reasonably priced and its white meat fries up beautifully. My grandmother and father adored fried tomatoes; that will be another fried element and transform the idea of traditional raw tomatoes. Arugula will replace the crisp lettuce, its bitterness will stand up to the fried food. The fried fish and fried tomatoes need acid; a smoked white fish vinaigrette with capers will not only add flavor but tie the ingredients together. This po-boy sounds absolutely delicious and I can‘t wait to dig in. Well it looks like this is not my lucky day and I am going to have to make a trip to the seafood market. Influence is emulsified in the tiniest detail, my grandmother and father will always be a part of me and that makes me happy. If you love fried fish and fried tomatoes, this po-boy is for you. Enjoy! Fried Tilapia Po-Boy with Smoked White Fish Vinaigrette
Smoked White Fish Vinaigrette ¾ cup good quality olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons 2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 shallots, chopped ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar 4 ounces smoked white fish 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons capers 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped 2 teaspoons small capers, rinsed kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1. In a small pan, sauté garlic and onion in 2 teaspoons olive oil until soft. 2. Remove any bones in the smoked fish. 3. In a food processor, puree olive oil, vinegar, fish, garlic, shallots, mustard and capers until smooth. Scrape into a bowl and add chives, salt and pepper. The vinaigrette will have a thick consistency, almost like a mayonnaise. Set aside. Fried Tilapia canola oil for frying 4 frozen tilapia filets, thawed ½ cup all-purpose flour 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons water, whisked 1 cup plain panko bread crumbs, ½ cup corn meal mixed kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1. Heat oil in a large sauté pan to 350 degrees. 2. In a medium bowl, combine panko and cornmeal. 3. Set up for frying follows: a plate with the flour, a shallow bowl for the egg/water mixture and another plate for the panko/cornmeal mixture. 4. Dip fish in flour and shake off excess flour, then dip egg mixture and allow excess to drip off. Dip in panko mixture and lightly press so more panko mixture adheres to the fish. 5. Carefully lower breaded fish into the hot oil and fry until both sides are crispy, only turning the fish one time. 6. Place fried fish on cooling rack and salt and pepper to taste. Fried Tomatoes canola oil for frying 8 (½-inch) slices of tomatoes ½ cup all purpose flour 2 eggs and two teaspoons cold water, whisked 1 cup plain panko bread crumbs and ½ cup cornmeal kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1. Follow instructions for tilapia. Use a clean sauté pan for frying. Po-Boy 4 sub rolls, toasted 2 cups arugula 4 fried tilapia filets 8 slices fried tomatoes smoked white fish vinaigrette Presentation 1. Rub inside of sub roll with vinaigrette. Place two slices of fried tomatoes in the sub roll. Add a touch of vinaigrette. Add a layer of arugula and again add a touch of vinaigrette. Top with fried fish. Remember the art of presentation is alive and well. Secret Ingredient - Purpose. “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” — Pablo Picasso

CHRISTMAS IN JULY The Pocomoke High School ROTC present the colors and Frank Del Piano, commandant of the First State Detachment Marine Corps League, salutes during the National Anthem presentation that kicked off a Christmas in July event at Jolly Roger on 30th Street, Tuesday. Donations to Toys for Tots were collected during the inaugural event, which also included a parade of Ocean City Jeep Club members, who also arrived with toys.
Junior lifeguard program offered (July 28, 2017) Future lifeguards are invited to join Ocean Pines Aquatics for skill-building, swimming and fun at the community’s popular junior lifeguard program this summer. Participants ages 7 and up will learn lifeguard skills, basic CPR, first aid and more during the three-day sessions. Returning Ocean Pines junior lifeguards will serve as junior crew chiefs and will learn additional skills. The program will be offered Aug. 1-3 and Aug. 15-17. On Tuesdays and Thursdays of each session, class will be held from 4:30-7 p.m. at the Sports Core Pool, located at 11144 Cathell Road in Ocean Pines. On Wednesdays, program participants will assist with Family Fun Night at the Oasis Pool, located at 1 Mumford’s Landing Road in Ocean Pines, from 5:30-8 p.m. Those who have already served as junior lifeguards and junior crew chiefs are en-
couraged to join the junior lifeguard officer program. Officers will practice skills similar to those of official Red Cross lifeguards, including the use of rescue mannequins, full backboard extraction with head stabilization, passive victim and more. The junior lifeguard officer program will be offered concurrently with the junior lifeguard program during the Aug. 13 session only. The fee per session is $75 per person, which includes a T-shirt, whistle and first aid kit. Dinner, drinks and snacks will be provided on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Registration for these programs, which are open to the public, will be taken at the Sports Core Pool only.

Commentary
OC’s wars trump Pines hullabaloo
If the residents of Ocean Pines think the current unpleasantness enveloping their board of directors is about as bad as things can get, long-time veterans of Ocean City politics and government would argue otherwise. In the scheme of things, the Pines kerfuffle hasn’t even made the varsity as compared to some of the down and dirty dogfights that used to erupt in and around City Hall. For a spell in the late 1980s, reporters routinely returned to the office wondering how to write about all the politically inspired claims and counterclaims without being sued into oblivion. It was so ugly that the various factions couldn’t be in the same restaurant together, or at least asked the owners of these establishments to ban the other side from entering while they were there. Later on, in the last decade, a changing of the guard on the council led to some of the bitterest fighting ever witnessed between council members, the staff and unions. Naturally, these things worked themselves out over time. While there always will be political skullduggery of one kind or another every election year, it’s nothing like it once was. In fact, local government seems to be running smoothly these days, with even the most serious disagreements being handled with civility. Ocean Pines residents, many of whom work in Ocean City, should take note of that. As bad as the situation might seem with their governing body right now, this is just a temporary situation. The survivors of Ocean City’s political wars, some of whom continue to hold office, are probably chuckling to themselves and thinking, as the Pines drama continues to unfold, that they really haven’t seen anything yet.

Letters to the editor Support for offshore wind
Editor, Renewable energy is the world’s fastest growing energy sector and wind energy is its fastest growing single renewable energy source. More than 54 GW of wind power was installed across the global market in 2016. That makes wind energy critically important to our planetary survival as climate change comes on at a faster pace than predicted. Anyone suffering through the recent excessive heat and violent storms in the greater Washington, D.C. region, can attest to that. This year is set to be the hottest on record globally, beating the record set … last year. While onshore wind still predominates, dramatic advances in technology combined with falling costs are also making offshore wind an attractive proposition. Yet, despite its extensive coastlines, the U.S. has lagged woefully and unforgivably behind in this sector. Aside from being essential in reducing the excessive greenhouse gas emissions that have contributed to global warming, offshore wind projects are also a significant jobs boon. In Ger-
many, even with its limited coastline, relatively modest offshore wind projects have already revitalized the entire supply chain, creating jobs from one end of the country to the other. But two new offshore wind projects planned for the Maryland coastline off Ocean City are now in jeopardy. U.S. Wind and Skipjack Offshore Energy have been pursuing — for too many years already — the arduous process of approval for an offshore wind farm that would be the biggest in the U.S. The project is predicted to create more than 9,000 jobs for the region. But one man wants to kill it. That man is Rep. Andy Harris, the lone Republican member of the Maryland Congressional delegation. Last week he introduced — and successfully got passed — an amendment in the U.S. House Appropriations Committee that effectively blocks the use of federal money to review site assessment or construction and operation plans for wind turbines less than 24 nautical miles from the state of Maryland shoreline. That, say the developers, could kill the project dead. Those 9,000 jobs are poised for annihilation if the amend-
ment is adopted by the full House and approved by the Senate, a strong possibility given the Republican control of both Houses. With the Trump administration pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord, it is more imperative than ever that towns, cities and states take the initiative to address the effects of climate change, which, among other factors, are creating a steadily more burdensome expense. Lacking the leadership at the top, we have to do this for ourselves. And for future generations. But Rep. Harris doesn’t care about any of that. He complains that the wind turbines out at sea would spoil the view. But for whom? Certainly not the tourists who flock to Ocean City beaches each summer. None of them is sitting sardine-packed with their neighbors, staring wistfully out to sea. There is too much else to do. No, the view that Harris says he is fighting for belongs to the wealthy owners of shoreline homes. And those people don’t need the 9,000 jobs. I have never been to Ocean City, but I’d venture to bet there are one or two Continued on Page 86

Even though a good portion of the country is engaged in a debate over whether transgender people should serve in the military, I have moved on to other issues. So, here’s an interesting and underreported fact: the defense department spends more on Viagra and other small arms enhancing substances than it does on those particular By medical applications Stewart at the center of this Dobson argument. It’s true. According to a study commissioned by the Defense Department, medical treatments for the situation that I’m not going to discuss would cost the military between $2.4 million and $8.4 million a year. Meanwhile, according to the Military Times, the Defense Department spends $84 million a year to return certain male elements to active duty. I know it’s been a long time since I did my duty, but now I’m wondering if “Stand at attention when I talk to you, mister!” still means the same old thing. Or new thing, whatever.

Continued from Page 85 uglier eye-sores downtown than the spindly specks that would be visible on the ocean horizon if the offshore wind turbines go in at the currently planned distance of 17-26 miles out. An illustration by Public Service Enterprise Group shows that even at 10 miles out, offshore wind turbines are barely discernible. While it’s clear Harris doesn’t care a tinker’s cuss about climate change or his less affluent constituents, maybe he’s not that bothered about the rich ones either. Rather, the piper Harris is paying is actually the one that is paying him, and handsomely: the corporate world. In 2014, Oil and Gas ranked fourth in his list of industry donors and 10th over his political career.
When they flash the “V” sign these days, apparently, that doesn’t mean “Victory.” Still, I’m trying to understand why the government believes this practice is vital to our national defense. It’s not as if the enemy is charging and the grizzled old sergeant suddenly stands up and says, “Oh yeah? I got your counterattack right here!” Besides, when the fan is waiting for something to hit it, we want immediate action. “OK, men, when I blow this whistle, we charge!” “Umm, excuse me, lieutenant, but can we wait until the time is right?” All I can say is it’s a good thing that this apparent military necessity doesn’t go back for centuries. Gladiators to Caesar: “We who are about to die salute you!” Boat commander to Gen. Washington: “Which way across the Delaware?” Yes, I know, I’m flirting with disaster here, which is why I have avoided certain expressions that would otherwise be just fine. Suffice to say all I care about regarding the matter of orientation, is that all military personnel are oriented toward the enemy.
Unsurprisingly, the fossil fuelfriendly Koch Industries is a loyal and prominent contributor along with the predominantly nuclear utility, Exelon and the petroleum behemoth, Exxon. The “spoiled view” mantra really doesn’t wash. What Harris is doing is a disservice to his community and to his country. Come re-election time, those 9,000 job candidates should send Harris a message — by sending him packing. *Linda Pentz Gunter is the international specialist at Beyond Nuclear, a Takoma Park, Maryland-based non-profit that advocates for renewable energy and an end to the use of nuclear power.
