Tougher approach on B’walk After weekend melees, mayor promises more enforcement, visibility
JOSH DAVIS/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Ocean City visitors Mike Cox, his son, Peter, 18, and daughters, Madi, 17, and Leighton, 7, take a cooling ride at Splash Mountain Water Park at Jolly Roger Amusement Park, on 30th Street, this past Tuesday.
Pretty hot No record, but a swelter skelter day still sends crowds looking for relief rom 10 a.m. to almost 5 p.m Monday, the temperature stayed in the 90s in Ocean City, sending residents and visitors to one of two places: inside to the air conditioning or outside to the water. As hot as it was, with blacktop road surfaces measuring a blistering 150-plus degrees in places, it was no record. That, reportedly, occurred on July 3, 1898, according to Intellicast historical climate data, when the temperature hit a toasty 109.04 degrees. In more recent times, the hottest days were a mere 102 degrees, a mark hit more than once. Measuring official temperatures for the resort area, however, is an imprecise business. Some of the data were recorded at the Salisbury-Wicomico Airport. Temperatures at the Ocean City Municipal Airport on the mainland, meanwhile, frequently differ significantly from those on the beach. Suffice to say, that once the mercury climbs to a certain point on the scale, a degree or two either way doesn’t make much difference. When it hits the mid-90s, it’s pretty hot.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) In the aftermath of a series of incidents on the Boardwalk that led to a dozen arrests, Mayor Rick Meehan said Tuesday that Ocean City will increase its police’s presence on and off the boards. “We want people to feel comfortable on the Boardwalk and that didn’t happen this particular weekend. We’re going to increase our enforcement to make sure that doesn’t h a p p e n ‘We’re again,” he said. “I think going to look for you’ll see we’ll keep our other ways guard up and to increase continue to show a police our police presence on presence.’ the Board- — Mayor Rick walk and Meehan a r o u n d town.” Ocean City Police last Saturday arrested 12 people, none of whom were from Worcester County, after two separate incidents spiraled into a riotous crowd on the Boardwalk with chants of “black lives matter” interspersed. Police representatives had dispelled rumors that it was another entry in the Black Lives Matter movement, and tied it to an unannounced College Beach Weekend event. See ‘TAKEOVER’ Page 3

‘Takeover’ event blamed for unruly crowds Continued from Page 1 “That’s what we believe drew this crowd to Ocean City,” said Police Department Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard. “The event was organized through social media, but it did not include a particular time or place, but we were aware it was being talked about.” College Beach Weekend promoted a “takeover”-style even though Twitter and a website advertised threeday events at undisclosed locations, including a “Get You Wetter” kickoff party on Friday and a Beach Day Party and a Project OC After-Party on Saturday. Many of the events were advertised as including a free shot, with Sunday’s farewell gathering claimed to have “three shots waiting,” according to the event’s website. Mayor Rick Meehan agreed with Richard’s explanation, adding that he saw an unusually large number of young adults when he was out on the Boardwalk from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. “The College Beach Weekend was something the police had some knowledge some while ago, but they had not seen any recent activity on the social media sites to indicate it would take place,” he said. “Although they were monitoring it, they were not expecting it to be the number of people that came this past weekend.” The first incident occurred at 9:45 p.m., when Ocean City police saw Kevin D. Rusten, 26, of Silver Spring, Maryland kick a trashcan and push it to the ground. Rusten then reportedly kicked the can into the center of the Boardwalk near 1st Street and Atlantic Avenue. According to police department press release, Rustin allegedly became aggressive and a large, hostile crowd began to form when police attempted to arrest him. Numerous suspects assaulted officers as they attempted to disperse the crowd, police said. Five people were arrested in that incident, including Rustin, who was charged disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, two counts of second-degree assault on an officer, failure to obey and reckless endangerment. He was transferred to the Worcester County

Jail on $5,000 bond. Included in that five, resort police arrested and charged the following people: Charles Mapp, 21, of Accomac, Virginia, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing and hindering a police officer. Jiare Darden, 20, of Baltimore, was charged with interfering with an arrest, obstructing and hindering and disorderly conduct. Ogni Assimaidou, 20, of Potomac, Maryland was charged with interfering with an arrest and second-degree assault on a police officer. Antwan English, 21, of Baltimore, was charged with second-degree assault on a police officer, obstructing and hindering, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Mapp and Assimaidou were re-
leased on personal recognizance. Darden was released on an unsecured $3,000 bond, and English posted bond for the same amount. The situation became worse after midnight, as police reported seeing a crowd of more than 200 people yelling profanities, throwing beer bottles and other objects near 7th Street on the Boardwalk around 12:40 a.m. According to the department’s release, the crowd became aggressive towards officers who were attempting to disperse the crowd. Dozens of police officers responded to the scene, including Maryland State Police troopers and deputies from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. Following that incident, seven arrests were made: Steven Williams, 20, of Baltimore, was charged with interfering with an
arrest and obstructing and hindering. Jayvon Jackson, 19, of Silver Spring, Maryland, was charged with second-degree assault on an officer, resisting arrest and failure to obey a lawful order. Germane Levenbury, 21, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and failure to obey. Savanah Nelson, 21, of Capitol Heights, was charged with disorderly conduct, failure to obey, unlawful assembly that resulted in a disturbance of the peace and resisting arrest. Nickolet Serrano, 19, of Beltsville, Maryland, was charged with disorderly conduct. Tuflah Davies, 19, of Silver Spring, was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and possession of CDS.

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) As the local firefighters’ union continues to push its petition seeking a referendum on whether the resort’s firefighters and paramedics should have binding interest arbitration, the union has taken to social media to explain its cause and to refute assertions made by Ocean City officials. Last Friday afternoon, the Chapter 4269 of the International Association of Fire Fighters released on its Facebook page a short video of chapter President Ryan Whittington directly addressing Ocean City taxpayers and voters. In the two-and-a-half minute video, Whittington says binding interest arbitration brings in a third party mediator to settle disagreements, while it also gives firefighters and paramedics a voice in the process. “Simply put, it’s the means of a resolution for labor disputes,” he said in the video. “An arbitrator would listen to firefighters and paramedics, listen to Ocean city and decide what is best for the paramedics and the town.” Whittington and the IAFF launched the petition weeks before the city’s See VIDEO Page 7

Ryan Whittington, president of the Chapter 4269 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, speaks to a Caine Woods property owner about their petition to get binding arbitration on a referendum ballot. Late last week, the union released an video explaining why the union is pushing this matter through a petition.
Video argues against mayor’s claim of increased tax rate Continued from Page 6 three-year contract rolled out earlier this month. The agreement was passed under contentious terms because of a provision that changes the shift structure and which the union rejected. Rather than continuing to have personnel on duty for 24 hours followed by 72 hours of off-duty time, the new schedule calls for a 12 hours on, 48-hours off plan. Negotiations broke down in March, leaving the resort’s 12-48 schedule as the “best and final” offer on the table. Shortly thereafter, the IAFF lodged a formal labor practice complaint against the town. Ocean City responded officially a week later. If the petition is successful in collecting signatures from 20 percent of registered voters, the matter could be put before resort voters. “This does not give us binding interest arbitration, if we collect enough signatures,” Whittington said in the video. “It allows for democracy to move forward and to put the question on the ballot. At that point, the citizen voice will be heard, where it comes to yes or no.” The video also appears to be a rebuttal to Mayor Rick Meehan and the City Council’s official stance. Following the council session on July 5, Meehan read
a written statement that denounced the petition, claiming that binding arbitration could increase the tax rate if a third party decided on matters of pay and benefits. Whittington disagreed. “That is … a fear that is being instilled,” he said in the video. “In 2009, the firefighters and paramedics had a signed contract to provide a pay increase that we foregoed. Why did we do that? Because we are fiscally responsible and we care about the best interest of the taxpayers.” In the days after the video’s release, Whittington and union members continue to pound the pavement for signatures. He said in a later interview that while there is a designated number of signatures, the IAFF’s campaign is aiming high. “We’re not going to stop door-todoor and say, ‘we have the number we need so we’re going to close up shop.’ Our goal is to talk to as many citizens we can and educate as much as we can to what’s going on or why we’re seeking it,” he said. “We want to be out there and talking to citizens because they have a lot of questions.” Speaking to the IAFF’s objective to inform the public, the video has hit roughly 11,000 views on Facebook.

Project now estimated to cost between $5-$7 million with inclusion of LED lights
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) It’s going to cost somewhere in the range of $5-$7 million to install LED lighting and a pedestrian barrier on the medians between 62nd Street and Convention Center Drive and someone else is picking up Ocean City’s tab. The state is now funding the construction of the Coastal Highway median fence, according to the State Highway Administration, and that puts the project right on schedule. “We’re looking for a spring 2017 work start, with completion by the summer,” SHA District Community Liaison Bob Rager said in an email. “We’ll need a left lane closure to do the work but
don’t expect significant traffic impacts, since most of the work will be done prior to the peak tourist season.” The SHA and Maryland Department of Transportation are working closely with Ocean City and its various departments, including Public Works and Parks, to incorporate their suggestions in the final design. “We should have final design within a few months, then the project will go out to bid,” Rager said. In May, Public Works Director Hal Adkins told the City Council’s Transportation Commission that while funding was not yet available, the SHA would continue its design efforts. At that point, cost estimates for the LED lighting and a barrier, which is designed to look like a sand dune fence, would cost $5.2 million. The fence alone was estimated to cost $1.9 million.

False imprisonment, failure to treat medical emergency also part of $1 million suit
Barrier to deter jaywalking could be ready next season Continued from Page 10 On the surface, the preliminary work and the funding aspect might have seemed somewhat streamlined, but Rager said that the overall routine is relatively the same for any project. “While the general process may be the same, the time needed to complete each step along the way can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the project, public impacts and availability of funding,” he said. That said, there are some reasons that give the illusion that Ocean City’s project is on an accelerated track. “We’re working within the existing roadway in a relatively confined median space, and utility impacts and maintenance-of-traffic planning that can take a long time to resolve on some projects are fairly straightforward here,” Rager said. “The Ocean City community was also very responsive and supportive in the planning phases, and that certainly helped move things along. “As with any road project, this is really a partnership,” he continued, “where success depends on cooperation among SHA, contractors, motorists, business owners and residents.” The mayor and City Council began to consider reconfiguring the midtown median strip after a string of pedestrian accidents in 2012. During that year,
there were two fatalities in the course of one month. Because of the city’s push for pedestrian safety through the “Walk Smart” program, fatalities were reduced to zero – and that number has stayed constant until May 2016 when a man was struck and killed by a police cruiser. According to statistics provided by Ocean City Police Department, 17 pedestrian-involved accidents occurred in 2015. Only 12 people required an emergency transport. By comparison, 33 pedestrians were struck in 2014, more than double the 16 people hit in 2013. The median project focuses on the 13-block stretch from the Route 90 bridge to the convention center because state studies show that it the most dangerous area to cross, with popular bars lining Coastal Highway. The mayor and council believe that installing a fence and some shrubbery would deter jaywalkers and the LED lights would increase visibility. City staff and the council have expressed interest in expanding the project throughout the resort, even suggesting the next phase would be from Convention Center Drive to 26th Street. In the meantime, state and city staff will be working towards this segment and its target date of Memorial Day 2017.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) Three years ago almost to the day the cell phone video made the rounds: a confrontation between resort police and tourists loudly proclaiming they did nothing wrong cuts to an Ocean City police officer lifting a much smaller woman and slamming her into the sand. The woman, later revealed to be Dalima Parker, was not shown at an angle to confirm her condition, but shrieks of “she’s pregnant” were unmistakable as the officer pinned her, face down, on the beach and handcuffed her. Parker, now 27, and three others — Abdul Kargbo, now 28, Saidu Kargbo, now 24, and Musa Seisay, now 27, were arrested and charged with four offenses: disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstruction and second-degree assault. Each pleaded not guilty to all counts, and each ultimately received a year’s probation before judgment in district court on one count while being found not guilty on all other
charges. According to public records, each successfully completed their unsupervised probation term. Probation before judgment, in Maryland courts, does not imply guilt. Last Wednesday, Dalima Palmer filed suit against the officer she said made the arrest, Michael Kirkland, as well as Police Chief Ross Buzzuro, several unidentified officers, the OCPD, Worcester Sheriff and Maryland State Police. Buzzuro had only been with the department for a couple of weeks at the time. While the video does not show the entire incident on the beach, neither does it show what Parker asserts in her lawsuit occurred later. Palmer, who was nine months pregnant at the time, said in her complaint that Kirkland restrained her by putting his knee into her back and causing her pain while she was on the beach. This action is not shown in the video. Later in police custody at the Public Safety Building on 65th Street, Palmer said the pain continued, and she reported it an unidentified female police officer. Palmer contends in her suit that her requests for medical attention were ignored until she lost consciousness, at which time she was See MILLION Page 12

Sometime between her arrival at the Public Safety Building and her transport to PRMC, Palmer went into labor. During childbirth, two male police officers from an unidentified agency remained in the delivery room at all times, Palmer said. She alleges that her requests that the male police officers remain outside the room or be replaced with female officers were denied, according to the complaint. Palmer is seeking relief on nine counts. The first is deprivation of civil rights based upon Kirkland’s alleged treatment on the beach, next is assault and battery for the injuries she

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) With a number of overdose deaths tied to heroin consumption on the Eastern Shore reported in recent months, people may wonder what is the best course of action if they encounter someone having a potentially deadly reaction to opioids. The Maryland Good Samaritan Act, which became effective on Oct. 1, 2015, provides limited criminal immunity if a 911 call is placed regarding a possible overdose. The caller will not be arrested for possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of drug paraphernalia or providing alcohol to minors. The law may also provide immunity for the overdose victim. Lt. Ed Schreier, of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, said the law protects both civilians and first responders. “The Good Samaritan law was designed for people to render aid without the fear of being sued,” he said. “Part of the intent was to remove liability for an officer that in good faith tries to save a life.” The drug naloxone is used as an antidote for opioid overdoses. As part of the Good Samaritan Law, police and first responders are protected from facing civil liability charges for administering naloxone, or other life-saving drugs, while attempting to treat someone experiencing a drug overdose. “It releases people from liability if they’re doing something in good faith,” he said. While there have been instances of witnesses to overdoses attempting to search the Internet for helpful information only to abandon the victim out of fear of legal reprisals, Schreier said this is the wrong tactic. “If you shoot somebody, do you Google it and then leave?” Schreier asked. “If you see something, say something and call 911.”

Conditions for old, 64th St. boat ramp set Little Salisbury site to have automatic gate that can be accessed through key card
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) Now that the 64th Street boat ramp has been bought and paid for, city officials have made some new rules regulating its use and have updated the regulations on the boat ramp farther north in Little Salisbury. During Tuesday’s work session, City Engineer Terry McGean told the mayor and City Council that while breaking ground on the long-awaited 64th street ramp would relieve some of the stress on the Little Salisbury ramp and neighborhood, it would also lift some conditions imposed by state grant funding. The estimated cost of the project is $1.5 million, which includes an $815,000 grant from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. “Since the ramp was funded through a waterway improvement grant [from the Maryland DNR], we were limited with the restrictions on the ramp,” McGean said. “Once the new ramps are installed, we will shift the grant from the Little Salisbury ramp to the new ramp. Now we’ll be able to do what the council wishes with Little Salisbury.” Some options he outlined involved minor adjustments in fees and operating hours. McGean also floated the idea of restricting access to Ocean City residents only or to those who live within a certain distance. Lastly, he said the city could sell or lease the ramp to another entity such as the Little Salisbury Civic Association or remove it entirely. McGean offered his opinion to the council what should be done. “We could put up an automatic gate, at my suggestion, and have an automatic card reader like we have at the dog park where you have a pass to the ramp. We could limit the sale [of passes] with a fee like at $50 to those that wanted to use it rather than those that launch it [a boat] in the spring and take it out in the fall,” he said. McGean estimated that the gate would cost somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000, which could be paid for by the savings from selecting the low bid for the new ramp. The proposal had backing of members of the Little Salisbury Civic Association, who said the main issue is the congestion caused by boat trailers parked on side streets. “We like it operated through a card basis,” said Board member Jay Phillips. “The main problem with the Little Salisbury ramp was the staging and I think was cured with the 64th Street ramp with its staging and parking. We think that the addition will take some of the pressure off the neighborhood. “We don’t want to lose the ramp
for the community,” he added. “Peo“There’s a free ramp 30 blocks ple that will want to use it will pay a away,” McGean said. “So who would fee.” want to pay a $50 annual pass, exBoard President Peck Miller did cept the people who live there?” have one suggestion to the City Before the council voted on Council.

McGean pointed out issues. that spot-checking the vehicles could

On a different track, Councilman Doug Cymek voiced his concerns that selling passes to everyone would make it impossible to limit who it would use it for commercial purposes. “I think it’ll open a situation of a person residing in Ocean City and operating a business in Fenwick that can access that path all season long and can profit from it. I don’t know how to police that,” he said. Other councilmembers contended that the 64th Street boat ramp would be free for anyone to use, and the Little Salisbury neighbors would keep an eye out for that situation. “Doing this [regulation] for a year, I’m sure people will be watching it,” See CITY Page 14

City watercraft facility faces metered parking ramp is located across the street from the Public Works and Public Safety building,” he said. “If an issue arises, it’s easy enough to go down there and police it or do a little traffic enforcement than to put someone there full-time. We could also use a Cale machine for an hourly rate to park.” McGean also suggested establishing hours for the ramp, something Hartman adamantly opposed. “If it’s not disturbing the public, then why would we impact it with hours?” he asked. “It’s not unusual to launch a boat at 4:30, 5 in the morning. I would also think that at some point we would use a flat fee instead
Continued from Page 13 Dare said. “We’ll fix it if it needs fixing.” Understanding that not all problems with Little Salisbury would be fixed overnight, the council agreed unanimously to install an automated gate for the boat ramp that can be accessed by a key card for an $50 annual fee. After that matter was handled, the council opened discussions on what restrictions should be created for the 64th Street boat ramp. McGean again offered a suggestion: leave it unattended and allow boat trailer parking for an hourly fee. “The reason for that is that the
of an hourly to launch or pull it.” Council President Lloyd Martin agreed with Hartman on his stance on hours, but stood firm on an increased rate. “I still think hourly parking is the way to go, because a guy who was out fishing all day would be charged the same as a guy who used it for an hour. It makes it more fair across the board,” he said. City staff proposed that prolonged trailer parking could be done at the municipal lot at 100th Street, and the boat ramp’s hourly fee would encourage turnover since there is limited space. It was tentatively suggested set-
ting the hourly fee at a higher rate than what visitors pay for downtown parking, somewhere on par with the 100th Street’s $10 a week charge. But rates have yet to be discussed by city staff and the council agreed to wait until it does. “If you could look into public ramps and fees and get an idea of what it costs,” Hartman said to the staff. “I think $10 is a gift considering the expense of that lot and its amenities.” A motion to make the 64th Street lot open for 24 hours a day with hourly parking fees and a prohibition on overnight parking passed 70.

Progress on bike path still stalled Transportation Commission seeks easements, but thus far no timetable established
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) The update on the proposed bicycle path that would run along the side streets that parallel Coastal Highway is that there is no update. In the last three months, the Ocean City Council’s Transportation Commission has ceased public discussion of the continuous bicycle path and the easements the city needs from property owners along the 20-block stretch. The issue has now been taken to closed session, where it and any related recommendations remain sequestered. “There’s really nothing to talk about,” said Councilman Tony DeLuca, who is leading the initiative. “We couldn’t identify a next step on the easements that made sense. So we’re back to the drawing board.” The proposed path runs through 13 private properties and the city will need to permission of each owner to create it. Of that total, 10 were condominium buildings with multiple owners, a circumstance not as easily dealt with as city officials believed. Although city officials thought that condominium associations could
grant permission to use a piece of the land for the project, City Solicitor Guy Ayres advised them that every owner would need to endorse the trail. The city sent letters asking each owner’s permission in February. “We got no response back,” DeLuca said. The commission also encountered three other obstacles – the Rodeway Inn Eco Lodge on 29th Street, a Public Works well house at 51st Street and the Meridian on 59th Street.
‘There’s really nothing to talk about. We couldn’t identify a next step on the easements that made sense. So we’re back to the drawing board.’ Councilman Tony DeLuca “One of those was city property, so that was no problem. But we still have two blocked areas,” DeLuca said. In April, DeLuca and Public Works Director Hal Adkins visited the impediments and reported what adjustments needed to be made. The well house would only need to remove a fence next to the Coral Reef Condo and cut back some landscaping. As for the Rodeway Inn Eco Lodge, either the city or the owner would need to reduce some of the landscap-
ing at the property’s edge for a 36inch path, while the Meridian property offered few places where a trail could be installed. Some property owners expressed concern about the city advertising the bicycle path though signs or painting the pavement, but DeLuca said that something that minor wouldn’t derail this project. “We might not paint the road,” he said. “Right now we don’t have a sense of urgency to get this completed, because the bike path exists. In all those properties, you can drive them street to street. People have been doing it forever. The key is that we can’t say it’s a bike path if we don’t have any easements. And we just don’t have them. “This is important from a safety perspective. We are so, so close,” DeLuca continued. “We’ve had some success, but we can’t put it together.” The city has created a 16-block bicycle path at Sinepuxent Avenue, and there is one running for 17 blocks at St. Louis Avenue. The 20-block segment, in theory, would take cyclists off Coastal Highway while they traveled downtown. Looking to options, DeLuca said city officials would need to regroup and brainstorm for other solutions. “It’s going to take time. I’m a little frustrated, but I realize this takes time,” he said.

Shifting test results at Golden Sands condos Most recent data indicated one reading spiked beyond acceptable levels June 28
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) After months of test results indicated little, if any, presence of the legionella bacteria at the Golden Sands condominiums on Coastal Highway in Ocean City, data just released from a June 28 test bucks that trend. Although the bacteria’s presence was not detected in 17 of 19 test areas, one showed a fractional presence, while another spiked to a significant level. The test was performed the same day two Golden Sands guests apparently contracted legionnaires disease. After two cases of legionnaires were reported last November by guests at the Golden Sands, a treatment plan was launched, which included installing a new chlorine-injection system. While subsequent tests indicated a minimal presence of legionella bacteria, Kathleen Derr, nursing program manager for the county Health Department, said aberrant readings can occur. “It is not unusual when a system is first being stabilized and new equipment has been introduced to see fluctuations as we’re trying to get things adjusted,” she said. “These are big

It has to get into your lungs for you to get sick.” Even low levels of legionella entering a building can be problematic in some instances, Racine said. “The reason it becomes more prevalent in larger buildings is that the plumbing system is more complex,” he said. “There’s a term called water aging. Water ages more in larger buildings where it stays resident in the building longer, so small background levels of the bacteria can start growing and forming colonies and amplifying within the building.” Maryland does not mandate legionella testing, Derr said, but she does advise property owners and See PREVENTION Page 18

City spends $477K for custom trash trucks Different contractors picked to build two new front- and side-loading refuse vehicles
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) Ocean City has settled on an offer for custom-built trash trucks, and while it’s slightly above what officials hoped for, it’s not an unmanageable price. During Tuesday’s work session, the City Council unanimously awarded the bid to two separate contractors to build front- and side-load refuse street trucks for $236,391 and $240,980, respectively. Both totals edged over the $230,000 per truck that was set aside by the council back during April’s budget conversations. But Procurement Manager Catrice
Parsons told the council that the vehicle trust fund had the room. “The vehicle trust fund as a whole is $8,300 to the good, and that does not include sales from large equipment we still have to process, and the purchase of the bucket truck, which was partially funded.” She added that after conferring with other city staff members, the conclusion was that the sales of large vehicles would bring in roughly $109,000. “The numbers aren’t 100 percent solid, but we should be approximately $25,000 to the good in in the vehicle trust,” Parsons said. The bidding process was somewhat unorthodox since the resort sought offers from vendors for either the truck’s compactor body or the cab chassis. Three companies submitted bids for the side-load refuse truck
and four for the front-load during July 12 work session. For the side-load, only one out of the three companies, Waste Equipment Sales & Services, Halethorpe, Maryland, ventured a cost estimate for the compactor body at $104,066. The Peterbilt Store of Seaford, Delaware and Hudson Country Motors of Secaucus, New Jersey submitted bids for the cab chassis at $134,825 and $161,537, respectively. As for the front-load, the three companies returned to submit bids with different offers and a fourth entered a price for the truck body. EZ Pak Corporation offered $91,000, competing with the Waste Equipment’s price of $97,649. The Peterbilt Store and Hudson County Motors and entered bids at $145,831 and $166,385, respectively. City Staff immediately ruled out

the EZ Pak Corporation’s low offer for the front-load truck because it did not meet the resort’s criteria. “They have no warranty setup within a hundred miles. If there was something wrong with it, we would have to go to New Jersey,” Solid Waste Manager Steve Brown said. “Also we expect a more environmentally friendly hydraulic system and a piston pump. They recommended a gear pump. It’s two different worlds.” The council went on to award both bids to the Waste Equipment and the Peterbilt Store. Correction: Last week, Ocean City Today published a story that incorrectly said the bids that were opened on July 12 were for the city’s custom beach trash truck. We apologize for the error.
Prevention key to reduce legionella bacteria outbreak Continued from Page 16 building managers concerned about the issue to seek an expert to guide them down the path of prevention. “We’re not the water system expert and some of these are very complex,” she said. “They really need to hire someone who is a water system engineer, or a water systems expert, to help them look at that building and show them the best way to prevent legionella in their building.” Racine said the Center for Disease Control has reported that every outbreak of legionella bacteria it has investigated has been linked to a preventable maintenance issue. “Definitely prevention is the first step,” he said. Travis Brown, public information officer for the county Health Department, concurred. “Even though it’s not mandatory, we always say it’s better to be proactive if you can,” he said. “An ounce of prevention is better than a gallon of trying to fix it later.”

Ocean City waits for busker suit response Performers’ legal counsel granted extention to answer resort’s motion to dismiss
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) The Town of Ocean City will have to wait for a ruling on its motion to dismiss a federal lawsuit against it and its ordinance regulating Boardwalk performance artists. The plaintiffs in the case in U.S. District Court in Baltimore earlier this month asked for and received more time earlier this month to formulate their response to the city’s motion. The case began in November when eight Boardwalk performers, aided by local dissident Tony Christ, filed suit seeking $1 million in punitive damages and injunctive relief from the or-
dinance the city implemented last summer. As of last July, performers had to register for spaces on the boards up to Ninth Street, twice a week in a “first come, first serve” process. These new rules were met with protests and city officials said they would revisit the regulations after its first season. The subsequent modifications to the measure were not what performers were looking for, and so the matter was taken to court. Original court documents list Mayor Rick Meehan, City Solicitor Guy Ayres, and the City Council as defendants for their roles in implementing the regulations. Later on, the Boardwalk performers sought an additional $1 million in damages from unidentified Boardwalk shop owners for “harassing, interfering,
threatening, and in general, acting in a manner to drive and eliminate the performers,” according to the complaint. On March 21, Judge William M. Nickerson ruled that the complaint was not properly served on the defendants, but declined to dismiss the case. At that point the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, a non-profit legal services organization, became aware of the case. Its president David Gray Wright (who also represents the local firefighter/paramedic union) met with the performers and agreed to represent them. Wright re-filed an amended lawsuit. The mayor, council and Ayres were dropped as defendants, and the damages demand against the city was scaled back to $180,000, while the claim against unnamed Boardwalk

businesses was taken down from $1 million to $80,000. Ayres filed his motion to dismiss towards the end of 2015, claiming there was an insufficient service of process and a failure to state a claim upon relief can be granted. He filed a second motion to dismiss earlier this month. Wright sought more time to respond to the dismissal two weeks ago, and Nickerson granted it on July 19. The performers now have until Aug. 15 to make their next move. In the intervening months after the first suit was filed, the Boardwalk Task Force reviewed the original system and made a few tweaks. Instead of “first come, first serve,” the task force recommended a lottery drawing to assign spaces. That new system, recognizing 33 spaces on the boards, was signed into law in April. This new process has its own critics who say that have no control performers over their location or who might be working next to them. Lottery drawings run every Monday at 9:30 a.m. in City Hall and will end Sept. 15.

OC tax rate petition ends in Maryland Court of Appeals By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) The courtroom campaign to bring Ocean City’s property taxes down by 10 cents has ended, following the dismissal of legal action against the Town of Ocean City by the Maryland Court of Appeals on July 13. The decision written by Judge Mary Ellen Barbera brings to a close a case that began last summer, when activist Tony Christ and a group of citizens calling themselves the Ocean City Taxpayers for Social Justice served city officials with a petition bearing the signatures of 1,477 voters and calling for a referendum on lowering the property tax rate 2009 levels. The tax rate adopted for the 2017 fiscal year budget is 47.27 cents per hundred dollars of assessed value, while the 2009 rate was 38 cents. When the petition was filed, however, the city went to circuit court, where it argued successfully that such a voter-ordered tax rollback would violate state law by prohibiting government from doing what it was elected to do. Christ filed a separate complaint along with co-plaintiffs John Medlin, Herb Pawlukewicz and former Ocean City Councilman Joe Hall that claimed the city’s attempt to block referendum vote denied the public’s First Amendment right to petition its government. The tax group’s members requested an emergency removal of the case of the state system and into the federal court. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Bennett consolidated the two cases into one and in December sent it back to Worcester County Circuit Court for further action. “Put simply, [the] plaintiffs’ efforts to circumvent unfavorable state law precedent are insufficient to af-

ford this Court jurisdiction over their inadequately pled federal causes of action,” Bennett wrote. In April, a Maryland Circuit Court judge ruled in favor of the mayor and City Council’s motion for summary judgment, essentially dismissing the case. However, the activist group filed a petition asking the Maryland Court of Appeals to review the case. Two weeks ago, the Court of Appeals denied the request and dismissed the appeal. “It is ordered by the Court of Appeals of Maryland that the petition be, and it is hereby, denied as there has been no showing that review by certiorari is desirable and in the public interest,” Barbera’s order said. City Solicitor Guy Ayres said he was pleased with the outcome of the judgment and said that the group’s last move was a perplexing strategy to keep the tax referendum alive. “When he [Christ] got the adverse decision from Worcester County, rather than file an appeal with the Court of Special Appeals, he tried to file a petition with the state Court of Appeals, which you can’t do in this kind of case,” Ayres said. “He lost in court everywhere he tried to go. “For all intents and purposes, it should be over,” he added. Christ later explained the misfiling as a “jurisdictional error” but said it was the lesser than two evils. “We were told by two respected lawyers, ‘don’t file in Maryland.’ We had a one-sentence decision that said it wasn’t in the public interest. Anyone who could read English could see it was in the public interest,” he said. He also suggested he would be interested in exploring other legal options. “Don’t stick a fork in it just yet,” Christ said.

Expanded liquor licenses for businesses planning to grow Residence Inn, Fat Daddy’s looking to construct new on-site bar facilities in OC
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) As part of the county effort to overhaul the county liquor system, the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners last Wednesday issued expanded beer and wine licenses to several area businesses to include liquor sales. The slate included The Residence Inn, located near 60th Street, bayside; Fat Daddy’s Sub Shop, at the corner of Dorcester Street and Baltimore Avenue; Tony’s Pizza, on the Boardwalk at Division Street and The Lazy Lizard, on First Street and St. Louis Avenue. Ed Braude, owner of Fat Daddy’s, said the change for him was an upgrade of the beer and wine license his downtown operation has maintained for roughly 20 years. He expressed relief that the county is working to shutter county run liquor dispensaries and allow private industry to assume its place. “It’s fine with me,” he said. “I’m a huge anti-government person.” Part of the reasoning for Braude to
seek the expanded license was an upcoming construction project at Fat Daddy’s downtown venue. “It was always part of the grand plan to add a bar,” he said. While he admits a preference for less government involvement to allow the free market to play out, especially in the food and beverage realm, Braud said regulations are required to maintain health standards. “You’ve got to have regulations because you’re always going to have people that are going to be substandard.” Residence Inn owner Rich Palmer, meanwhile, was approved for the business’s first beer, wine and liquor license. While the hotel operator had initially applied for a Class B license, after further consideration a new Class H license was created for hotels that wish to operate a bar without offpremises sales. After consulting with attorney Tom Coates, the Class H was created for hotels to exclude the off-premises provision. The Residence Inn is working to install a new indoor bar, along with a small outdoor pool bar, Palmer said. “We were hoping for this season, but it will be open for next season,” he said.

Worcester NAACP holds meeting with police Panel of law enforcement officials ponder methods to be equitable with minorities
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) How to establish positive and peaceful interactions with law enforcement, in light of the continuing onslaught of deadly encounters between police and African-Americans, was the primary focus of a Worcester County NAACP Town Hall meeting and panel discussion at the Germantown School Community Center in Berlin last Thursday. On the panel were Ocean City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro, Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downing, Worcester Sheriff Lt. Andy McGee, Worcester Sheriff Reggie Mason, Worcester Sheriff Corporal Dale Trotter, Pocomoke Police Chief Bill Harden and Maryland State Police Commander Earl Starner. Dr. Roxie Davis, former Worcester County NAACP president, questioned if, and how, officers are given regular reminders to be equitable in their treatment of minority community members.
Constant reinforcement is crucial, Buzzuro said. “What we practice is the three words — everything else kind of encompasses these three words — friendly, fair and firm,” he said. “We’re friendly first, we’re fair and if we have to be we’re going to be firm.” Buzzuro said his officers are expected to work with the community in a positive manner. “My mantra, my philosophy, my vision, above all else our department is professional,” he said. “That’s the standard, that’s minimum for us to be professional, to go above that is the expectation as well.” Starner said the state police are guided by the values of integrity, fairness and service. “When you think about integrity, it’s simply doing the right thing when no one else is looking, just because it’s the right thing,” he said. “That’s treating people without bias.” The troopers are in the midst of training to recognize the implications of implicit bias, Starner said. “The first thing to recognize is we all have it,” he said.

cated too. The way we do that is through training and keeping it real.” Watson-Waples said she longs for positive relations between younger community members and police to foster mutual understanding, but feels it is short supply. “I see more of a negative approach to the children and I’d like to see that differently, because not every child is always wrong in their circle of friends,” she said. “It would be nice to see a police officer approach them friendly rather than an assumption that something is going wrong.” Harder said the first step is non-confrontational interactions where youth and police can simply learn about each other. “It’s not me pulling you over in a car, it’s you coming out where I can really meet and deal with you one on one,” he said. “You get to know me and the type of person that I am, and I get to know you and the type of young man that you are.” Starner said both sides have to consider bias. “Help your kids recognize if maybe they have a bias against the police,” he said. “You have to recognize the biases you have first, then you have to go recognize what they are to make good choices.” Davis expressed a desire for increased rapport and openness, while calling for a greater emphasis on education. “We have to teach our children what to do and how to handle themselves when it comes to the police force,” she said. “We’re going to have to all come together as one.” Trotter said that despite the ominous times, shared values still exist. “We need stronger communities, we need people that aren’t afraid to contact the police, we need police that aren’t afraid to go into the communities,” he said. “I think if we all get back to our values, things will get better.”

Age is often a factor, Starner said, noting the challenges are more substantial with younger, less-seasoned recruits. “At 21 there’s not a lot of life experiences to rely on there,” he said. “That certainly may affect how you perceive the troopers and how they perceive the scenario that they’re in.” Regardless of generational differences, Sheriff Mason said it boils down to the golden rule. “One thing I teach my group is treat everyone with respect and you earn respect,” he said. Cpl. Trotter said it’s vital for the community to see officers in a non-confrontational atmosphere and feels it is incumbent upon his brethren to extend a hand. “The police officer needs to open that door. He needs to get out and say, ‘Hey, how are doing I’m Dale Trotter,’ without the rank without the auspices of being sheriff or a deputy and make people understand that we are just like you,” he said. “If I get cut, I bleed red, if you get cut you bleed red. We’re all the same.” Anne Watson-Waples, a Worcester County resident for nearly two decades and a parent, asked, “How (do) my children approach you gentlemen with badges and guns and feel that you are protecting them, are there for them, are looking out for them? And how you, in turn approach them, not always fair and friendly, but sometimes firm and aggressive? How will I teach my children to handle that?” Suggesting that some of the responsibility lies with parents, Mason offered one suggestion. “Be a role model and talk to your kids,” he said. Admitting there is often a tendency to pass judgment based on appearance, Harden said law enforcement must also analyze its approach. “Just because I have dreadlocks, or my pants are hanging, I could have a PhD, “ he said. “ We need to be edu-

LT. JOSEPH PAUL BURKHARDT Ocean Pines Lt. Joseph Paul Burkhardt (MSP Ret.), 81, of Ocean Pines, Maryland. passed peacefully in his sleep on July 21, 2016 at Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Lt. Burkhardt was a 25-year member of the Maryland State Police, serving from 1960 until his retirement in 1985. He is survived by his Lt. J. Burkhardt wife of 50 years, Irene; son, Scott; son, Chris, and wife, Dena; grandchildren, Brandon, Rachel and Aubrey; sister, Lee Holden; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jack and Terry Helmbrecht; his good friend and best man at his wedding, George Sharpley; and many loved nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. Joe was preceded in death by his son Eric (1994), whom he loved and missed every day. He and Eric had a special bond as Eric was the youngest of his boys and he got to spend much time with him after his retirement from the MSP as Scott and Chris were older. Joe was also preceded in death by his mother, Edna; sister, Ann Pelle; brother, Charles Burkhardt; a special cousin-in-law, Paul Mooney; and other family and friends whom he thought of, and prayed for, often. Joe was born Feb. 2, 1935, in Baltimore and was raised by his mother with much help from his sisters and brother. He was lucky to spend many summers in Harford County helping on the farm at the “old alms” home which was run by his uncle and aunt. Joe attended Calvert Hall College in Baltimore and graduated in 1954. He joined the Maryland State Police in 1960 and was stationed at various barracks including the JFK Highway, Security and Westminster. He spent much of his career at Bel Air barracks and retired as a lieutenant and assistant barrack commander. After retiring from the Maryland State Police, he worked at various jobs including FEMA in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when he went to Louisiana to help in the recovery. He earned respect from those who were wary of him being a police officer, and he was able to keep his calm under the pressures of his job. Joe was an easy going person who made all around him feel comfortable. He had many great stories and silly jokes he loved to tell (some again, and again, and again - raise your hand!!!). He loved working in the yard and completing

whatever projects and renovations Irene could design and create for him. He also loved spending time with Scott and Chris and supporting them and their interests. He travelled with Chris to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and attended soccer, baseball and football games with him as well. Joe shared an interest in cars with Scott and attended various car shows with him. Joe could also be found on the sidelines of games and matches as Chris coached different high school teams at Wicomico and Parkside high schools. He loved going to the movies with both of them to see the latest blockbuster action and adventure films. He also loved to meet new people and talk to them about just about anything. He would help you fix something or give you advice when a problem arose. A visitation was held at Burbage Funeral Home in Berlin, on Monday July 25, 2016, with a memorial service following. A second visitation and service is planned at a later date in Harford County. The family requests that flowers not be sent, but instead that a donation be made in Joe’s memory to: Camp Puh’tok - 17433 Big Falls Rd., Monkton Maryland, 21111. Donations can also be made online at camppuhtok.com. He will be missed by all who knew him, but he will be excited to be reunited with Eric and his other friends and family in Heaven. We all look forward to seeing him again in another life. Letters of condolence may be sent via: www.burbagefuneralhome.com.

Center for Joint Surgery
Dee and Frank Creamer, Ocean Pines, MD
Ocean Pines residents Dee and Frank Creamer have always enjoyed a healthy and active lifestyle. But when chronic knee pain became progressively worse, making even routine physical activity painful, they realized they needed to do something about it. Dee and Frank did their research … and then they stayed local. The Creamers chose AGH’s Center for Joint Surgery for their knee replacement procedures, post-surgery and recovery. Completely healed, Frank is able to play his racquet sports just like before, while Dee is back to enjoying her exercise and dance classes. “They were the right place for us, at just the right time. Thanks to their wonderful physicians, our quality of life has dramatically improved!” say the Creamers. We’re happy to see the Creamer family enjoying their active lifestyle again. We’re ready to help you get back in action, too. Call the Center for Joint Surgery at 410-641-9055 today to learn more.

T.C. Diner break-in According to the Maryland State Police, the T.C. Diner in West Ocean City was robbed in the early morning hours of Monday, July 11.

According to the owner, the register is more expensive than the small amount of money inside. The thief also damaged a side door. Anyone with information should call the Maryland State Police and talk to Detective David Sharp at 410-641-3101.

Ocean Action draft open for public review Regional plan that factors in Eastern Shore’s waters up for two-month reflection
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) Following three years of collaborative planning, a draft version of the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Action Plan was unveiled to the public during an open house held July 19 at the Ocean Pines Library. The Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body was established in 2013 to develop and implement a planning process for the ocean waters off the coasts of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Gwynne Schultz, Maryland Department of Natural Resources deputy director of science, stewardship and assessment, is also serving as the
state co-lead for the Mid-Atlantic RPB. “We’ve been working with stakeholders, we’ve been working with industry, conservation organizations, the fishing community and a number of different sectors in order to better understand what are the regional issues,” she said. “What we’ve been doing is trying to learn what are the current ocean uses, what are the ocean resources out there, what do the users and stakeholders care about within this region.” The ongoing work has resulted in the draft plan, which Schultz said would hopefully chart the course for the next five years to address issues of concern related to ocean resource conservation. “This Mid-Atlantic region really does have an abundance of natural resources and an amazing diversity of
human uses,” she said. “The management entities that have some oversight over all these resources and uses involve federal agencies, state agencies, tribal entities and land and fishery management councils.” Navigating among numerous, and varied, domestic laws, policies and regulations can be challenging, Schultz said, as many were implemented on a agency by agency basis. “What we’ve been able to do was spend some quality time to talk about how we can better coordinate and collaborate and use better science and data in order to be more effective and efficient in our decision making process,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is address two main goals, those are to promote healthy ocean ecosystems and then to foster sustainable ocean uses.” Over the last three years one vital
element to the effort was ensuring sufficient public outreach, education and input, Schultz said. “The Regional Planning Body has been the group that has taken the lead on a lot of the community outreach along with MARCO, the MidAtlantic Regional Council on the Ocean,” she said. The draft plan is out for a 60-day public review period that closes on September 6. “At that point we’re going to be reviewing all the comments, considering edits to the draft plan and we will be submitting that to the National Ocean Council later in the fall,” she said. Pointing out that the RPB does not have regulatory authority, Schultz said it would not propose new mandates or regulations. See CLIMATEPage 32

Disease cycles suggests spike next year, but hard to predict, Goeller states
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) Despite the recent attention given a potentially rabid cat in West Ocean City, the number of confirmed rabies incidents in Worcester County is marginally down this year. As of the end of July, the most recent period for which numbers are available, there have been 10 rabies cases reported in Worcester County as compared to the 12 confirmed cases in 2015 and 23 the year before that. But according to Worcester County Health Officer Debbie Goeller, rabies is regularly in the county and Maryland, and it’s difficult to predict trends. “There is no way to predict the number of rabies cases the county will have any given year. However, rabies is often cyclical,” she said. “Because 2009 and 2013 were years with a large number of rabies cases, it is likely that there will be another spike in cases in 2017.” Officials recorded 52 and 46 rabies cases in 2009 and 2013, respectively.
Between those benchmark years, there were 152 confirmed infected animals in all. “That said, nature is often difficult to predict,” Goeller added. This year has also seen a variety of animals with rabies. So far, seven raccoons contracted the disease, along with a skunk, a cat and a groundhog. Last year’s 12 cases were all raccoons. Raccoons are the most common carriers of rabies found on the Eastern Shore, and cats are highest among domestic animals. Suspected rabid animals may stagger, walk in circles or fall over or show unprovoked aggression such as trying to chase people or pets. In the instance of this year’s lone rabid groundhog, the mammal chased a Berlin Police officer before it was put down. “Wild animals may sometimes appear friendly when they are sick, so people should never try to approach any wild animal,” Goeller said. The disease can also incubate up to six months in some unvaccinated animals before showing any signs, and according to Goeller, a rabies test will not come back positive until the animal shows symptoms. “There is no test that can show ‘incubation,’” she added. “Animals are See PETS Page 33

They’re designed to enhance the acquisition of data and information.” Through early coordination between government entities, and use of common data sets, Schultz said the hope is that more predictable decisions can be reached. “These best practices are also going to help us proactively and upfront understand what kind of uses are occurring out there,” she said. The effect of climate change on ocean species and habitats is also being examined. “We anticipate this could be a potential concern because one of the impacts of warming ocean temperatures may be causing shifts in the amount and extent of marine life,” she said. She also said that as trash and debris continue to accumulate in the oceans, the plan seeks to begin a regional effort to reduce aquatic pollution. John Kennedy, director of the Maritime Administration’s Mid-At-
lantic Gateway Office, noted the interim nature of the planning process. “It will be a planning cycle that allows for a new plan every five years,” he said. He also noted the importance of the continued engagement with the fishing community. “(We welcome) any fisherman from the public who wants to participate, put in a comment or meet with us,” he said. “We’ve been working in fishing communities to take in any of the data that they think is relevant.” He also acknowledged that the intent is not to obtain trade secrets from watermen. “We work carefully to make sure that it can be meaningful input into the plan without compromising someone’s way of life,” he said. There are three methods for the public to submit comments to the draft plan by September 6. Email to MidAtlanticRPB@boem.gov, airmail to Robert LaBelle, federal co-lead, Mid-Atlantic Regional Planning Body BOEM, 45600 Woodland Road, Sterling, VA 20166. Lastly, written comment cards will be available at all public open house meetings. The draft plan can be found online at boem.gov/Ocean-Action-Plan/.

Commission considers 5K, parks policies
Pets can receive preemptive shot at vaccination clinic Continued from Page 32 only sent for testing if they potentially exposed people or pets.” Rabies testing can only be done after an animal is dead and samples are taken from its brain. County officials advise residents to contact their local police department or the sheriff’s office if they see a wild animal or feral cat acting in a sick manner, or if their pet had been involved in an altercation with one. The health department and County Animal Control co-sponsor rabies vaccination clinics throughout Worcester in May and October. The cost per pet is $5 for country residents and $10 for non-residents. In order to receive a three-year booster shot, owners must bring their pet’s previous vaccination information. Information on clinics is posted on worcesterhealth.org at least a month in advance.
ther an ordinance, or a policy of something formalized with the Mayor or Council in our codebook that identifies what the various rules are in our parks,” she said. Clarity is lacking in certain areas, Petito said. “The prohibition of metal detectors in parks, it’s something that we prohibit now, but there is nothing that identifies the fact that we prohibit them,” she said. “Typically what this is just some points of different regulations that we are either already practicing or we would like to put in practice in our parks.” Listing a number of contentious points, Petito said her department hopes to work through some inconsistencies in park policy. “We want to address the aeronautics, we want to address the camping, we want to address the metal detect-
ing, we want to address the digging,” she said. “We want to address a lot of the things that just aren’t formalized.” Council member Dennis Dare, who also serves on the Recreation and Parks Committee, asked Petito if there are park officials authorized to issue citations for violations. “You have permitted parks to issue citations for smoking, however we are not comfortable with that,” she said. “We believe that we should be calling the police for any type of citation, unless we had some sort of formal park ranger.” Ultimately Petito said time is not of the essence as the inconsistencies have been in place for decades. “It’s not something that has to be done tomorrow,” she said. “It’s something we haven’t had for 30 years, so we can continue to work toward it.”

FOR MIND & BODY
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) During Ocean City’s Recreation and Parks Committee meeting on July 19 several topics were discussed, including a new 5K charitable race, a Boardwalk project funded through a community parks and playground grant projects, as well as work to formalize town codes related to parks. Lisa Mitchell, Ocean City recreation and parks private events manager, said, pending approval from the Mayor and City Council, there will be a 5K race to raise funds the Salisburybased nonprofit, Live Life Like Rob. “He’s the gentleman who back in October 2015 was jogging near Fruitland and was struck by a vehicle and passed from his injuries,” she said. “A group of friends and businesses got together and started this nonprofit to raise money.” The race is tentatively scheduled to take place along the Boardwalk on Saturday, October 15. Susan Petito, Ocean City recreation and parks director shared details for a new playground to be constructed on the Boardwalk adjacent to the bump out on North Division Street were also reviewed, along with plans for future projects funded by Community Parks and Playground Grants from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. “We believe we’ve been approved for a Boardwalk playground,” she said. “Our plan would be to move forward with pouring the pad for that
this fall, and then to work this fall to put out an RFP for putting equipment on that.” Looking ahead, Petito said the next grant proposal is due to DNR by Aug. 17, which if approved will move an indoor recreation activity outdoors. “We would like to pursue outdoor pickle ball courts for the next community parks and playground grant,” she said. There was also discussion on building a dog playground, but Petito said that would be put off for the moment. “We don’t have enough information about the dog playground,” she said. “We’d like to put that as a placeholder for next year.” The lengthiest discussion concerned updating the rules and policies governing city parks. “What were trying to do is get ei-

Limit standing water, limit mosquito growth Zika virus latest addition to insect-borne diseases to consider in Wor. County
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) As the summer sun continues to wilt flowers and people, one species not affected by the heat are mosquitos, namely the Aedes variety, which is the primary culprit spreading the Zika virus. The Maryland and Worcester County Health Departments have continued to promote an informational campaign about avoiding the possibility of infection. In late April, Gov. Larry Hogan declared a “Zika Awareness Week” to prepare the public for the hatching of mosquitos, which typically hits full stride in May.
Described as aggressive daytime feeders, the Aedes mosquito prefers to live near human habitation and lay eggs in natural or artificial containers. Recommendations to reduce potential breeding sites include weekly refreshing of water in birdbaths and fountains. There are, however, other alternatives to water replacement in larger decorative ponds or fountains. Kathleen Derr, Worcester Health Department nursing program manager, explained what attracts and what can repel the flying pests. “What mosquitos like is still, stagnant water,” she said. “Things that you can do is aerate the water, add a bubbler to the water so it breaks up the surface of the water.” There are other methods for reducing the risk of ponds providing a safe haven for mosquitos to repopu-
late. “Keep the water moving with a pond pump,” she said. Another option Derr mentioned was introducing freshwater fish species, such as goldfish or Koi, who will add more than color to ponds and eat mosquito larvae. The aptly named mosquito fish, or Gambusia affinis, is a freshwater fish known for including mosquito larvae in a diet that also includes zooplankton, beetles and mites. Derr said anyone who wants more information should contact the Maryland Department of Agriculture. “What people would need to do is contact the Department of Agriculture, which will assess your personal situation and help you address it,” she said. “They really are the experts on that topic.”
Brian Prendergast, mosquito control program manager for the state Department of Agriculture, said mosquito fish are bred in Salisbury. “Ornamental ponds can be inspected to see if they are breeding mosquitos,” he said. “That’s a good place to start.” More information is available on the state Agriculture’s website at mda.maryland.gov/plantspests/Pages/Zika.aspx People who want to have their ponds or fountains inspected can all the state Agriculture’s Salisbury office at 410-543-6626. As part of the state’s campaign to raise awareness regarding the virus, on Aug. 1 the Worcester and Wicomico Health Departments will hold a joint Zika Awareness Town Hall from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the TriCounty Council building, 917 Mount Hermon Road, Salisbury. Dr. Howard Haft, Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene deputy secretary of public health services, will be the speaker.

Letters Parking ticket may drive family north next season
Editor, My brother’s family and mine recently spent seven days in Ocean City, Maryland. We all agreed that it was an exceptional and extremely fun place to spend time with the family (four adults and seven children). I would like to thank all the local businesses that treated our families so well! Lodging - $6200 (approximate); Entertainment - $5800 (approximate) – (parasailing, private deep sea charter, private shark fishing charter, flounder fishing, boardwalk shopping, amusement par, etc., etc.); Dining/restaurants/food - $3100 (approximate); Parking ticket - $30 (exact); Total - $15,130 I speculate that my budget must have been only $15,100; unfortunately, the $30 overage was the straw that broke the camel’s back. We stayed in condominiums at the southeast corner of 7th and St. Louis. I parked my vehicle in the same spot for our entire stay. [During the] second-to-last night, officer #8026 thought that my bumper being 10 inches over the red paint on curb was worth a ticket. I suppose to the letter of the law, he is perhaps correct. Hopefully, the $30 check I am sending buys enough red paint to reduce in size enough of the other parking spaces in Ocean City to recoup the over $15,000 that I will be spending in Rehoboth Beach next year. In addition to sending my $30 payment to the police department, this letter and enclosed information has been sent to the mayor’s office, the chief of police, OC Today Newspaper, OC Dispatch Newspaper and the OC Chamber of Commerce. Thanks again to all the local businesses that took care of my family during our stay; sadly we will not see you again next year. Steve Nichols Ostrander, OH
to the editor
she doesn’t want to see the managed colonies of cats here in Worcester County. I would like to first address Bud Church’s comment to Susan Rantz at this meeting. Bud Church asked Rantz “why are these colonies allowed to be here?” Her reply was “I’d like to see a law made for them not to be allowed here.” I would like to ask Bud Church if he knew how these colonies come to be here? They are here from irresponsible pet owners dumping/abandoning their pet cats, unaltered, who ultimately become pregnant having litter after litter of kittens, which without socialization grow up to be feral. These cats form colonies and left
unaltered continue to breed with one another. Cats don’t recognize family status, thus a father can impregnate his daughter, and a son can impregnate his mother thus making for inbred kittens, which are born with all kinds of deformities and illnesses. This issue is not a cat overpopulation issue, it is a human issue. We must educate the public about responsible pet ownership. We must educate them to the fact that a female kitten becomes sexually mature at four months of age. Without this knowledge people allow their kittens to grow without getting them altered and the next thing you know that cute little kitten is pregnant.
Page 35 We also need to work with the local vets here on the shore to offer low cost spay/neuter services. (Dr. Carol Lewis of Healing Hands Animal Hospital has opened her own clinic dedicated strictly to low cost s/n.) When you have the local vets charging prices of $160-$200 to spay a female, this is often another deterrent for those who are trying to do the right thing and spay their animals but can’t afford to do so at that price. I’d like to ask the council if they don’t implement or allow TNR, what is their solution for this current crisis of stray cat overpopulation. I have spent $57,000 last year alone of my own money, trapping, s/n Continue on Page 36

Feline advocate upset over feral cat treatment
Editor, This letter is in response to the articles written about my colony cat “Oliver,” who was killed by Worcester County Animal Control. I have tried to no avail to reason with the Health Department of Worcester County, as well as Animal Control of Snow Hill. I attended the July 19 meeting of the County Commissioners to speak about trap/neuter/return and to let them know the other side of this story. I was denied my right to speak before the council. Susan Rantz, the chief of Animal Control was telling the council that

Continued from Page 35 and providing medical care for stray, feral and abandoned cats. Not one penny came from the taxpayers of Worcester County. I am providing a service to the community for free. I work two jobs and am a registered nonprofit rescue organization which allows me to apply for grants, which are few and far between. I have rescued cats for over 40 years and have dedicated my life to advocating and helping these animals who were abandoned by their owners. Last year alone, I was able to s/n over 1,248 cats. If I hadn’t fixed them, they would all have had more kittens. For every female I spay, roughly 20 kittens will not be born. A female cat can have four to five litters a year with usually five to seven kittens per litter. The taxpayers of Worcester County are paying for Animal Control to round up and kill these same cats that I have spent my own money fixing. Is this how they want their hard earned tax dollars being spent? Rounding these colonies up, that are fixed and vaccinated and in good health, only to kill them is not the answer. That only provides a “vacuum effect” where more unaltered cats move in and the process begins all over again. To address the comment that feeding the managed colonies attracts more cats into the colony is false. When a managed colony is maintained on a daily basis, the caretaker knows each and every cat and can see when and if a new cat shows up. If one does, that cat is immediately trapped and fixed and vaccinated. Cats are territorial and usually will not let new cats into the colony. To address Debbie Goeller’s comments that even if they are fixed and vaccinated, she feels they still present a health risk to the public as she stated they all carry disease, toxoplasmosis and cat scratch fever. Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by a single-celled parasite called Tox-
oplasma gondii (T. gondii). Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common parasitic diseases and has been found in nearly all warm-blooded animals, including pets and humans. Despite the high prevalence of T. gondii infection, the parasite rarely causes significant clinical disease in cats-or any species. Because cats only shed the organism for a few days in their entire life, the chance of human exposure is small. Owning a cat does not mean you will be infected with the disease. It is unlikely that you would be exposed to the parasite by touching an infected cat, because cats usually do not carry the parasite on their fur. It is also unlikely that you can become infected through cat bites or scratches. In addition, cats kept indoors that do not hunt prey or are not fed raw meat are not likely to be infected with T. gondii. What Is Cat Scratch Fever? Cat scratch fever, also called cat scratch disease (CSD), is a bacterial infection. The disease gets its name because people contract it from cats infected with Bartonella henselae bacteria, one of the most common bacteria in the world. Anyone who owns a pet indoor cat or interacts with a cat is at risk for contracting cat scratch fever. This is not a disease of only feral cats. My rights have been violated as well. I went to AC to identify and claim Oliver and to quarantine him for the required 45-60 days. Oliver never came in contact with the infected cat. His daily caretaker fed him, waited till he finished eating and picked up the bowl. The person who said they saw Oliver eat out of the same bowl as the infected was lying. The place where Oliver was being fed was hidden way back in the woods. Not a place where the general public could ever see him being fed. Officer Grandstaff was there that day and refused to let me see the cat. When I tried to go into the back to

see Oliver, he blocked my way. Grandstaff is over 6 feet 2 inches, weighs close to 250 pounds. He blocked me, crossed his arms, spread his legs in a military style and quite smugly told me that I was “not going to see the cat.� I asked him why he was denying me the right to see the cat; he said he didn’t have to give me a reason. I am a taxpaying citizen of this county. That building is a government run agency paid for by my tax dollars and here I am being denied the right to see my cat. He likes to intimidate and bully people by his size and presence. The charge of Grandstaff being assaulted is not true. The incident he is referring to happened Friday night. We got a call that Grandstaff was sitting at Ocean Village, at 8:30 p.m. (not AC’s hours of operation) with a rifle waiting to shoot the last two cats as they were coming out for their evening meal. I called my friend and asked him if he could go over and see what was going on. My friend went over there where he was accosted by Grandstaff. Grandstaff asked him for his name and address, which my friend politely provided him with (although according to Maryland law, officer’s can’t ask this unless they are going to detain you, otherwise you are free to go). My friend then asked Grandstaff for his name and badge number (it was late at night and my friend couldn’t see into the vehicle). Grandstaff asked him if he was a lawyer. My
friend said no he wasn’t, but wanted Grandstaff’s name and badge number. Grandstaff refused to give it to him. (This is policing at its best.) My friend stated that if you won’t give me your name, then you are not going to have mine. Grandstaff became very agitated when my friend simply told him that what he was doing, shooting these cats, was wrong. Susan Rantz stated that a clipboard was thrown at Grandstaff. There was no clipboard present. Just a pad of paper. Within 10 minutes of returning home, three sheriff deputies were at his door, threatening him with arrest for assault and theft. This is nothing but intimidation and closing ranks. (Sheriff’s department controls Animal Control). My friend did nothing but stand up to a bully and to stand up for these innocent cats’ lives. Lt. Shier told my friend that all of this would go away if my friend wrote a letter of apology to the officer. At this point, my friend still didn’t know the officer’s name. He asked why he was supposed to write a letter of apology when, #1, he didn’t know the officer’s name and, #2, what was he apologizing for. Shier told him he would be over on Monday morning to pick the letter up. If he didn’t write the apology, he would be charged. Subsequently, my friend was criminally charged and now had to obtain a criminal defense attorney. Is this how the government works here in

Worcester County? Intimidation and threatening tactics? Those in power have the power to do whatever they want, including violating a person’s civil rights. County Commissioners are basing their opinion and comments from what Susan Rantz told them at the meeting on July 19. Is this not still the United States of America, where every citizen has the right to defend themselves and to tell the other side of the story? Why would the commissioners of this county not want to implement trap/neuter/return? Why would they not want to see rescue groups pay for a solution to the problem out of their own pockets and not have to use the taxpayer’s money? If the commissioners enforce Rantz’s “round them up & kill them all� program, this county is going to see an even larger increase in cats. If you miss one female cat, she in turn will continue to reproduce and then
the cycle begins all over again. Why not allow the rescue groups to continue what we have been doing? We are taking care of other people’s problems, those that continue to dump an animal when they no longer want it. Which, by the way, is a crime punishable by jail time and fines. Why doesn’t animal control go after those people instead of focusing on the cats? How can any issue be resolved if only one side is being allowed to present their story? All we are asking is to come before the council and give our side of this. We have asked for a meeting with the Health Department and AC so that we may come to the table and work out a solution to this, but we have been met with nothing but bullying, intimidation, lies, no transparency and an abuse of power and authority.

Tapestries have gotten popular, and it’s harder to find them. Customers have said they like the prices and [that] it’s affordable.” The intimate shop sells mostly women’s clothing, including shirts, dresses, tank tops, pants and wrap skirts. Visitors can also browse a selection of jewelry, such as rings and bracelets, large and small tapestries, accessories, purses, bags, headbands, sunglasses, baja unisex shirts, scarfs, hats, posters, knick-knacks, toys, and games for children. Helou has lived outside of Washington, D.C. for 30 years and loves coming to Ocean City during warmer months, she said.

“I love the beach and didn’t originally have plans to open a store,” Helou said. “My daughter Dakota alternates times manning the store and I couldn’t have done it without her.” Helou had a vendor booth at Cruisin’ in May, and passed by the property next to Dunkin’ Donuts on 82nd Street. “I kept thinking about it. The thought of having a store, even though it [was] a little far from home, where I don’t have to be open 365
days a year, encouraged me,” she said. Helou also had vendor booths at Winefest and Bikefest events in Ocean City throughout the years. Currently, the Pink Giraffe is open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. During the offseason, the shop will be open a limited amount of days.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (July 29, 2016) Homebuyers and sellers choose to work with a Realtor for their expertise, but also inherent in the relationship is trust. An important aspect of trust that clients place in their agent is the dissemination of their private data. With the move to a more digital economy, real estate agents must be diligent in maintaining reasonable safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and proper disposal of private data. Lately, there have been reports of real estate associated cyber-crime. Usually just prior to a settlement, instructions are sent to a settlement company to send the wire to a new location – namely the hacker’s account. This can only be beat by having and following a written data-security program. In the course of a real estate transaction, agents and brokers collect such personal information as: home address, social security numbers, bank account information, credit card information, and driver’s license numbers. This information is collected in order to be able to help clients, but in fact it creates a liability for the agent/broker. Maryland has laws to protect consumers, and under Maryland Code Section 14-3503 – security procedures, the state defines the following procedures be taken: • To protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure, a business that owns or licenses personal information of an individual residing in the state shall implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices that are appropriate to the nature of the personal information owned or licensed and the nature and size of the business and its operations. Also, the Federal Trade Commission offers the following five steps as key principles for businesses to follow when creating a data security program: • Take stock: know what personal information you have in your files and on your computers. • Scale down: keep only what you need for your business. • Lock it: protect the information that you keep. • Pitch it: properly dispose of what you no longer need. • Plan ahead: create a plan to respond to security incidents. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

JULY 29, 2016
Resort businesses consider incorporating Pokémon Go By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) It’s too soon to tell how the immensely popular Pokémon Go smartphone game will impact Ocean City’s restaurants and shops, but some business owners are already capitalizing on the craze. On Sunday, July 31, the Jolly Roger Amusement Park on 30th Street, will be casting several “lures,” which attract rare “pocket monsters” throughout the park between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. in hopes of drawing gamers and patrons. Using a phone’s GPS and camera, players can capture, battle and train Pokémon that appear on the devices’ screens as they walk through the amusement park. “Honestly, we saw a couple other amusement parks do it, and two of our employees, Sabrina DiStasio and Corey West, play the game and pitched the idea,” Jolly Roger’s marketing director Dean Langrall said. “It’s crazy and fun. When you’re on vacation, it’s an extra layer of fun and things to do.” Jolly Roger is also promoting its dozens of “Pokestops,” where players can collect items to catch Pokémon, and its “gym” where games can battle. Although the social media buzz surrounding the event has been positive, Langrall said the summer crush makes it difficult to plan for future events. “We just ramped up this event last week, and we’re in the middle of summer so we’re always busy, so who knows?” he said. For more information, call Jolly Roger at 410-289-347. Other business owners with Pokestops have noticed a younger demographic surrounding their storefronts. Greg Shockley, owner of Shenanigan’s Bar & Grille, located at Fourth Street and the Boardwalk, pinpointed the age group from 13-30 years old. “We’re getting it on both sides: in the evening where families are eating dinner, you see parents and kids playing it, and the entertainment and cocktails crowd are doing it as well,” he said. “Whether it’s drawing people to eat here, I don’t know. But it’s drawing
people to the business that people didn’t know existed. It’s like unsolicited advertising, almost,” he added. Some stores have had an added promotional push of being listed on Ocean City’s tourism website as Pokestops, like the Kite Loft, located on the Boardwalk near Fifth Street. “We’re absolutely seeing more kids and adults here, and we’ve been encouraging it on our marquee,” Kite Loft owner Jay Knerr said. He added that he had discussed involving a promotion like a 10 percent discount to players, but like Langrall, it might be too soon make that offer. “So far from what I’ve seen, we’re getting a good response, but I want to see how the game plays out before I make that decision,” Knerr said. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Original Greene Turtle on 116th Street, another enterprise that was promoted on ococean.com, has embraced the business possibilities. “We’re promoting it on Facebook and we’re working to organize a discount next week to people who catch a Squirtle,” said Dawn Hodge, Greene Turtle marketing and office manager. “It’s also giving people something to do while they wait in line.” As Pokémon Go tightens its hold on the resort, local marketing company D3 Corporation has been reaching out to businesses to understand the game’s cultural impact. “We felt the need for businesses to understand how to utilize Pokémon Go, and so we sent out teams to drive through main routes and map them out,” said D3 Vice President Tanja Giles. “We also created some promotional materials, like maps and signs showing Pokestops.” D3 also has signs made for businesses that do understand how the game works – and want no part of it. “Some don’t like the idea that’s the only reason they come into someone’s business, so there’s some that signal which are not appropriate to come inside ‘Pokémon No’ or ‘Pokémon nature reserve,’ which is a little more playful,” Giles said. “We want to encourage everyone to have a fun in a safe way.”

Pokémon Go 5K walk in OC downtown area this Sunday By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 29, 2016) Activate the incense and prepare the lure modules as Pokémon enthusiasts are planning a gathering and 5K walk this weekend to benefit their own Pokedex as well as the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a joint venture between the American Heart Association and the Clinton Foundation to make healthier choices easier. “I think with all the negativity going around it’s nice to get involved with something positive,” organizer Jeff Murphy said. “We’re raising money to fight childhood obesity, just like the game encourages kids to get outside away from all of the electronics indoors.” Murphy said he got the idea after the game was first released, and he joined a group of 40 people at a local park trying to catch Pokémon. The game rewards cooperation between players through ingame items that lure more, or more scarce, Pokémon to certain locations while active. “I got to thinking what this could do in a 5K environment,” he said. A graphic designer by trade, Murphy put some fliers together and started on
his quest to bring the event to the place he knew it would grab the most attention: Ocean City. After a little back and forth with the city, Murphy’s event will take place Sunday, July 31 beginning at 9 a.m. The course flows from the Boardwalk, to the inlet to Third Street, down to Philadelphia Avenue and back. According to Murphy, there are about 70 Pokéstops along the route. Lures will be placed along the route to start, but the items expire after 30 minutes and will need to be replaced by players. Murphy said there is no firm schedule or route for the event. He said he expects people to show up, collect Pokémon and go on about their way. He did encourage participants to use the West OC Park and Ride at a cost of $3 per passenger to streamline the parking process and get to the Pokémon action faster. Murphy has already raised about $1,500 for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, almost double his $800 goal for the event, using a GoFundMe page found at www.gofundme.com/pogooc5k.

Third Big Fish Classic begins today and runs through Sun.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 29, 2016) The third annual Big Fish Classic kicks off today and runs through Sunday, and all are invited to watch the daily catches brought to the Talbot Street Pier, the original spot where some of the first fish caught off the coast of Ocean City were weighed. The tournament has grown each year since its inception and the trend is expected to continue for 2016. Thirty-two boats entered the inaugural Big Fish Classic in 2014, and a total of $92,920 was paid out to tournament winners. Last year, with performance fishing apparel company, Huk, as the 2015 Big Fish Classic title sponsor, participation increased and prize money paid out to the winners more than doubled, as 46 boats registered and $202,000 was awarded. An even larger turnout and more prize money distributed is expected for the third annual competition, scheduled for July 29-31, as more than two dozen boats were pre-registered as of earlier this week. Final registration was Thursday night. “We have several new participants
from Virginia Beach and New Jersey… With good weather, we’re anticipating a $400,000 purse,” Brian Roberts, coorganizer of the tournament, said last week. Teams can choose between two 32hour slots: 7 a.m. Friday, July, 29 to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 30, or 7 a.m. Saturday, July 30 to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 31. Crews can fish the entire 32 hours or come back to the dock and head out offshore again after a break with the same or different anglers. There are several added entry-level divisions, or wagering pools, which range in cost from $150 to $1,200, and include billfish, tuna, meatfish (dolphin, wahoo and shark) and small boat (38 feet and smaller). “Talbot Street Stringer” calcutta has two levels this year. Teams can select any four fish they catch in 32 hours for a combined total weight. “It was a hit last year so we added another level,” Roberts said. A billfish release calcutta was also added this year. “We added it for conservation purposes and we had some interest in it as
well,” Roberts said. “It allows teams to go out and catch and release billfish. Now the release division allows us to recognize those teams. It’s also preparation for the White Marlin Open (Aug. 8-12).” Boats can depart from any port between New Jersey and Virginia. Teams can fish up to 125 nautical miles from the Ocean City sea buoy during the 2016 tournament. All fish must be weighed at the Talbot Street Pier in downtown Ocean City. Tournament weigh-ins will take place from 4-9 p.m., Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30. The scale, located between M.R. Ducks and the Angler, will be open from 4-8 p.m. Sunday, July 31. Weigh-ins are free and open to the public. “Fishing is good right now all around. It’s very consistent,” Roberts said Monday. “We’re looking forward to a lot of fish coming to the scale this weekend.” The BFC tournament village will feature activities for children, food, music, vendors and event merchandise. The village will open at 3 p.m. DJ BK will be the emcee during tourna-
ment weigh-ins. “It will be a good event for the whole family to come out to,” Roberts said. Tournament proceeds will again benefit Diakonia, a residence in West Ocean City that provides emergency and transitional housing, food services, counseling and assistance to its guests; as well as the Ocean City Reef Foundation, an organization committed to the enhancement of local marine habitat through the creation and monitoring of artificial reef systems; and the Billfish Foundation, which is dedicated to conserving and enhancing billfish populations around the world. Proceeds from the 2015 tournament went to Coastal Hospice, a private nonprofit community program that provides traditional hospice services, palliative care, bereavement support, education and training to residents in Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset counties, (about $8,000) and Diakonia (approximately $6,000). Over the last two years, tournament organizers have presented over $20,000 to charity organizations. Last year’s Classic was featured on See BIG Page 46

Even many of our local businesses support the crews from their area by providing banners, uniforms and food to show their appreciation for the work our lifeguards do every day by keeping their patrons safe.” With employees dressing up in a crew “theme” for the competitions, citizens are encouraged to come out and cheer on their favorite guards, as they demonstrate their athletic skills in the following events: Run Swim Run Relay: A team of guards from the same crew will combine their most basic lifesaving skills

Soft Sand Relay: A team of guards from the same crew will each sprint 150 meters before handing off a rubber relay baton, in this pure running race, in soft-sand. Tug O War: A team of guards from the same crew will pull against other crews drawn randomly in this double elimination event that emphasizes strength and endurance. “This competition has been taking place since 1976,” Arbin said. “It is a special event and a great way to spend an evening with family or friends, while also supporting Ocean City’s lifeguards. It has become a tradition that not only do the Beach Patrol’s Surf Rescue Technicians enjoy, but an event that many of our residents and visitors look forward to as well.” The crew competition was renamed in honor of Lt. Warren Williams following his untimely death in May 2003. Williams served admirably for over 40 years, beginning in 1963, when he came to the patrol as a college student. After graduating from the University of Maryland, Williams became an engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). However, this “full time” job didn’t’ cause any reduction in his dedication to the beach patrol. During his many years of government service at the NASA base at Wallops Island, Vir-
Big Fish Classic weigh-ins held at Talbot Street Pier Continued from Page 45 Sportsman Channel and the World Fishing Network on Huk Performance’s show “Money Fish.” Filming for the show will take place during the tournament this year as well. Talbot Street Pier is the original spot where some of the first fish caught off the coast of Ocean City were weighed. Nearly 100 years ago, the pier in downtown Ocean City was bustling with activity as anglers took their daily catches there. Organizers of the Big Fish Classic wanted to bring the action, and big fish, back to the pier. For more information, visit www.bigfishclassic.com. For those who can’t make the weigh-ins, check out the web site for a live feed of the action. ginia, Warren, his wife and son lived in Whaleyville which meant quite a commute to his “regular” job but close enough to Ocean City for him to continue his service to the patrol. Williams held the rank of lieutenant at the time of his passing and will be remembered by those who worked with him as one who always had the welfare of others as his priority and was always willing to do anything for the betterment of the patrol and Ocean City.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 29, 2016) Female anglers of all ages are invited to participate in the Ocean City Marlin Club’s eighth annual “Heels and Reels” Ladies Tournament, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 5-6. “Ladies like the chance to show the guys that they catch just as many – and in many cases more – than the guys,” said Franky Pettolina, president of the Ocean City Marlin Club and co-director of the tournament with Amanda Shick. Registration for “Heels and Reels,”
open to both Marlin Club members and nonmembers, will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 4, 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 a $100 gift card to Sunset Grille and various apparel, $50 gift card to Micky Fins and various apparel, $25 gift card to Urban Nectar, apparel from Patty Jean’s Boutique, basket of cheer from West O Bottle Shop, offseason
overnight stay at the Francis Scott Key Family Resort, variety pack from George’s Mixes and a fishing gear package (pole, tackle box, backpack and an anchor necklace) from FishTales/Bahia Marina. Megan Cosman, owner of Patty Jean’s Boutique in Berlin, will have a pop-up shop during registration, featuring clothing (summer styles and fall arrivals) and accessories. “We’re so excited to be a part of it,” Cosman said. Anglers are permitted to fish one of two tournament days: Friday, Aug. 5
410-289-1283
or Saturday, Aug. 6. Weigh-ins will take place both days from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Atlantic Tackle on Sunset Avenue in West Ocean City. The cost is $300 per boat for up to six anglers. A portion of the entry fee will be donated to the Ocean City Marlin Club Auxiliary Scholarship Fund.

Golf tourney benefits Contractors for a Cause Group offers free services and professional advice on home construction, repair
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) The nonprofit organization Contractors for a Cause will be hosting its third annual golf classic on Friday, Aug. 5, at Ocean City Golf Club in Berlin, with checkin beginning at 12:30 p.m. Organizers are looking to sign up additional teams and players for the Florida scramble format with contests and prizes, in addition to mulligans being available for purchase. The cost is $150 per player, which includes the greens fee, cart, food and beverages. There will be a number of contests including the longest drive and a

hole-in-one where the winner will take home a car from Pittsville Ford. Enjoy lunch, dinner, 50/50 raffles and door prizes. Food, beverage, golf cart, putting green and hole sponsorship is still available. “It’s a beautiful golf course and a fun, casual event,” Josh Martin, a member of Contractors for a Cause in Maryland and owner of Seaside Plumbing in Berlin, said. “All proceeds go to a nonprofit organization and it’s tax deductible.” Contractors for a Cause helps disadvantaged community members in Delaware and Maryland through donations, volunteering and fundraising. It is dedicated to providing free services and professional advice in the field of home construction, maintenance and repair. These contractors host annual events to raise money for local organizations including Diakonia, a residence in West Ocean City that provides emergency and transitional housing, food services, counseling and assistance to its guests, and give out scholarships to help young adults pursuing a career in the industry. Last year, the Maryland Chapter of Contractors for a Cause raised $15,325 and 96 golfers on 21 teams
participated in the golf classic. Fifteen teams have signed up so far this year. “Our goal is raising money and building more awareness. We are here for the community,” Martin said. “All money goes directly back to the community through our Helping Hands and Scholarship Legacy programs.” Martin helped facilitate the Maryland Legacy Scholarship Program. A $1,500 scholarship was awarded to a Stephen Decatur High School graduate interested in the building industry including contracting, industry work, construction, building, architect work or engineering the last two years. “Almost all money is spent on the Helping Hands project,” Martin said. “We helped out a few people and the bulk has gone to Diakonia. They have so many individuals to help and have a constant list of things needing to be fixed or repaired.” The group replaced a few air conditioning systems and performed maintenance on others at Diakonia. In Worcester County, members converted an empty storefront into a massage therapy room and office in addition to replacing a roof for an elderly woman living on her own in
West Ocean City. “We excel the most at getting projects done at half the price,” Martin said. “We are all contractors and have leverage to keep the costs down through suppliers. It is no expense to the person in need. Our real strengths lie in stretching the budget.” Contractors for a Cause was cofounded by Jim Kyger and several others in Delaware 16 years ago. Success with the first chapter led to Kyger establishing a branch closer to his Bishopville businesses, All States Construction and Masterjack. Maryland’s Contractors for a Cause was founded more than four years ago. The nonprofit organization will help anyone in the area who needs assistance, including a family in Berlin last December. Contractors fixed the hot water heater in addition to kitchen and other sink fixtures after they went without hot water and working sink faucets. For registration and sponsorship information, contact Paola Litterio at 410-352-9800 or email Paola@MasterjackWindows.com.

OC Greek Festival this weekend Annual event, now in 27th year, features traditional food, pastries, live music
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) The 27th annual Greek Festival at the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street begins today and runs through Monday, Aug. 1, featuring traditional food and live music to benefit St. George Greek Orthodox Church. “The Greek Festival provides the flavors, sights and sounds of Greece, without the costly airfare, TSA screening lines and jet lag,” said Festival Promotion Coordinator Alexandra Hall. “Enjoy the delicious authentic Greek cuisine, the great live music, unique vendor offerings, real Greek coffee, face painting booth for kids and fun-loving atmosphere. Our slogan is ‘Come for the food, stay for the fun.’” The main attraction is the food with a smorgasbord of tasty dishes including half chickens, gyros, grape leaves, Greek meatballs, spanakopita, baked lemon chicken, moussaka, Greek salad and oven roasted potatoes. “Lamb shank is a really big seller. It’s tasty, perfect, fall-off-the-bone ten-
der,” Hall said. “Both casseroles are big sellers: pastitsio (which has two layers of macaroni with spiced ground beef and cheese topped with a béchamel sauce) and moussaka (eggplant and spiced ground beef topped with a béchamel sauce), very traditional Greek cuisine. All the sides are very popular. New to menu is stuffed zucchini and souvlaki (marinated pork with pita.)” Have a Greek coffee with 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 served by the Ladies of the Philoptochos,” Hall said. “Our pastries are prepared by a professional Greek specialty bakery that uses authentic, traditional recipes for a delicious product. Festivalgoers in the know, stock up their freezers. Don’t wait until the last days though.” All menu items will be offered starting at noon with dining in or carryout as options. In addition to the food, attendees can shop for a unique variety of jewelry, art, imports and other treasures at the vendor booths. After 5 p.m. each night, Golden Flame will bring Greek sounds to the
convention center for a night of dancing with appearances from Greek dance performers. Greek music will be playing throughout the festival daily. “The house really rocks to the lively Greek music by the Golden Flame Band,” Hall said. “The 27th annual Greek Festival is Delmarva’s only Greek Festival.” Last year, nearly 6,000 visitors attended the Greek Festival from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Virginia and West Virginia. The festival will feature two raffles including its “Best Odds in Town,” which gives ticket buyers a 1-in-200 chance of winning a minimum of $5,000 and up to $10,000. In addition, there is a chance to win $1,000. The cost is $5 for six chance tickets. Drawings take place on Monday, Aug. 1, though participants do not have to be present to win. Participants must be 18 or older. “Many people go in with friends, coworkers and relatives to increase odds even more,” Hall said. “Can’t be at the Greek Festival?

‘Clamming for a Cure’ kayak races fundraiser for ACS
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 29, 2016) Fish Tales Bar & Grill will host its seventh annual “Clamming for a Cure,” a fundraiser for breast cancer research, this Monday. Registration is currently open. As of earlier this week, 14 teams had pre-registered, representing businesses including 45th Street Taphouse, Pickle’s Pub and Backshore Brewing Company, to name a few. “It’s the most we’ve ever had preregister. We usually get one or two teams,” said Fish Tales Manager Brandon Hemp. “A lot of people have expressed interest. We’re hoping for a 32-team bracket, and we’re almost halfway there.” Final registration for the races will begin at 11 a.m. on Monday, Aug 1. The competition is open to those 18 and older. The cost is $100 per team of two, which must be co-ed. Competitors should 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, thus the relay event was created. “It’s an awesome event. It’s a fantastic day all for a good cause,” Hemp said. “There’s great camaraderie and competitiveness among the participants. Plus, if you win, you get bragging rights for a year.” The first heat will kick off around noon in the bay behind Fish Tales. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Cancer Society and earmarked for breast cancer research. 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 partner. The second person will also paddle out to the sandbar, retrieve a live clam and then race back. Some people jump out and find a clam immediately, while others have a difficult time locating them, Hemp said. Many participants don’t kayak on a regular basis, and the contest is open to all skill levels. Finding the elusive clam is what can hold a competitor up. “You don’t have to be a pro, just someone who enjoys having fun and competitive things,” Hemp said. “Some people hop out of the kayak and step on a clam right away, while others have some trouble finding them.” Participants will race in heats. The top teams from each heat will advance to the next round. The firstplace twosome will win $1,500 in cash as well as prizes. The second-

and third-place teams will take home hundreds of dollars in cash and prizes as well. The fourth-place team will win a prize package. DJ BK will emcee the contest. Drink specials, a 50/50 raffle and a silent auction will also be going on throughout the day. Some of the auction items include rounds of golf, a tabletop grill, corn hole boards and gift certificates to local restaurants. A Solace stand up paddleboard with paddle, donated by Seacrets Spirits and Irie Radio, will be raffled off. Tickets cost $20 each. Only 400 tickets will be sold. The paddleboard is on display at Fish Tales for those who want to check it out. “We’re hoping to grow the event, make it as big as possible and raise as much as we can,” Hemp said. “We want to make it something people look forward to every year.” Nineteen teams participated last year and $20,420 was raised for breast cancer research through event registration, a 50/50 raffle, auctions, sponsors and donations. For more information about Clamming for a Cure, which is sponsored by Bacardi, Pusser’s Rum, George’s Mixes, Eastern Shore Distributing, Fin City Brewing and Breakthru Beverage, call 410-289-0990.

Peach Festival at St. Peter’s Church, Aug. 4 Annual event will feature sweet treats, silent auction, vendors, children’s corner
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) Enjoy peaches and ice cream, smoothies and fresh fruit during the annual Peach Festival, hosted by St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, on Thursday, Aug. 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event has evolved into a twoday occasion since it first began in 1995, and includes a flea market, 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. Because of wacky weather in March and April, Bennett Orchards in Frankford, Delaware, lost a majority of its peach crop, which is a main source for the peach festival each year. “Local grocery stores have been
very generous including Acme and Food Lion,” said Ginny Stannard, who co-chairs the festival with Dee Floyd. “It is a big problem this year, but we will have peaches. People in the food industry are trying to find the best sources. We will be getting them from a bunch of places, some from Fifer Orchards in Dover and others in North Carolina. Generally, 25 boxes are needed.” Peaches will be on sale for $1 apiece and last year, $801.88 worth of fruit was sold during the festival, she said. “We will have peach smoothies and peaches and crème with vanilla ice cream,” Stannard said. “It is wonderful and a big seller.” Festivalgoers will also have the option to snack on hamburgers, hot dogs, soda and chips, which will be for sale, along with a huge baked goods selection of cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, cupcakes and cobblers. “Everything is home baked by members of the church,” Stannard said. “Come early to get your pick.”
A children’s corner will feature face painting and games in addition to at least 10 vendors including Avon, a farmers market and jewelry can also be found at the festival. There will be a holiday room with decorations, a huge book sale and a nurse will be available to do blood pressure readings and answer questions. The silent auction includes hotel stays, rounds of golf, gift certificates and an Ocean City and Boardwalk bag, Stannard said. Flea market merchandise includes electronics, glassware, household items, vases, lamps, dressers, fine china, radios, CD players, small appliances, kitchen equipment and jewelry, which runs all day Thursday and again Friday, Aug. 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “The flea market is a big part of
this,” Stannard said. “We go in and price the items donated by church members and it is always a popular event.” Last year, St. Peter’s raised $7,528 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 address particular needs in the church. “It’s just a lovely day, busy for us, but we enjoy it,” Stannard said. “I love the camaraderie. The atmosphere is welcoming and everyone has a great time. You could walk out with something inexpensive, but fun, and proceeds go to worthy causes.” Call St Peter’s Lutheran Church at 410-524-7474 or visit www.stpetersoc.com for more information.

Beach dangerous place to be when lightning
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (July 29, 2016) Have you ever wondered why the lifeguards make people leave the beach when it is just thundering or a little bit of lightning, or perhaps it might appear to be a nice sunny day? To understand the criteria that the beach patrol uses before clearing the beach for your safety you must understand the technology that is available for early warning of severe weather as well as the true hazards associated with lightning, especially as it relates to the beach environment. The Ocean City Beach Patrol is in constant contact with the weather

service and is aware of the current weather situation at all times. Recent developments in lightning detection and monitoring technologies give us more accurate and timely information on potentially dangerous developing cloud to ground lightning and we use this information to help assure you and your families’ safety. The beach is probably one of the worst places to be when lightning is near. Most people know that being in the water is dangerous, but they feel a bit safer on the beach. This is a dangerous assumption. In fact, all documented cases of lightning strikes in Ocean City have been when people were on the beach and lightning was still in the area. So please follow the directions of the lifeguards when they clear the beach due to storm activity. The beach patrol’s operations center is monitoring the current weather as well as being alert to situations where there is a sudden change in weather patterns that will potentially impact our area. Many times, weather conditions vary from one end of Ocean City to the other. I have seen it many times to be sunny and mild in the south by the Boardwalk and lightning and showers just nine miles north. There are many documented cases
throughout the country of people being hit by lightning while the sun is shining (called a bolt from the blue). The beach patrol is not only in constant contact with the weather service, but we have constant communication with each other up and down the beach as well. The guards know when lightning has been spotted in an area and will alert our duty officer in the beach patrol’s operations center. The beach patrol, like other modern emergency services, relies on two-way radio systems as well as semaphore and a whistle system. The beach patrol’s primary concern is your safety and we will clear the beaches if we feel you are not safe. While vacationing on the beach in Ocean City you may or may not notice the lifeguards communicating with each other, but please heed their warnings and leave the beach if asked to do so, even if you do not see lightning. Due to constant monitoring of the weather and their communication systems, they are aware of dangers that you might not be able to see. A beach is listed as one of the most vulnerable places to be during an electrical storm, according to weather researchers. The Ocean City Beach Patrol will clear the beach if lightning is spotted in the area. After making sure all beach patrons have been warned (whether or
not they heed our warning and leave) lifeguards then take cover to the back of the beach for their safety. No one is permitted back on the beach until there has been no lightning for 30 minutes. Beach patrol supervisors will then patrol the beach in covered vehicles to make sure that everyone is staying off the beach. You would be amazed at how many beach patrons want to argue or give excuses why they are out on the beach when there is visible lightening. A few years ago, shortly after we cleared the beach due to lightning in the area and after the last stragglers left the beach, one of our guard stands on 127th Street was struck by lightning. This is concrete evidence of the need to heed the lifeguards’ orders to get off the beach immediately (do not even take time to pack up) when lightning is nearby. The lightning strike during this brief, but powerful, thunderstorm resulted in splintering and burning the stand’s wood, and sending sparks and nails shooting outward. The people watching from nearby balconies got to witness the danger of lightning first hand. However, there are some people who still don’t realize the dangers. It is very unsettling to try to reason with people that their life is in danger. See HEED Page 59

ON GUARD
Heed guard’s warning, clear beach, water when lightning Continued from Page 58 I realize they might not have seen lightning, but we are only trying to do our job and keep everyone safe. We have over 100 lifeguards scanning the beach and we are in close contact with weather communications. Thirty minutes is not too long to wait to catch that wave and actually live to tell about it. Ocean City is famous for its clean, safe and fun beach and ocean, and that is what brings you here and keeps you coming back. However, when conditions make it unsafe to be on the beach or in the ocean, the beach patrol is committed to providing for you and your family’s safety so that you can return another day. Enjoy the beach but please do so in a safe manner and listen to the lifeguard on duty in all matters. One thing that you can always do to remain safe is talk to your lifeguard about current beach conditions each day and limit beach activity to a time when lifeguards are on duty. To get current information about the beach patrol as well as daily stats and current beach conditions, you can follow the beach patrol on Twitter, Instagram or “like us” on the Official OCBP Facebook page. If interested in working as part of this exciting organization talk to your Surf Rescue Technician (lifeguard) or visit our website www.ococean.com/ocbp. We can’t wait to be a part of your fun experiences in Ocean City, because we are glad you are here, and always remember to “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” Captain’s note: In my 44 years with the patrol I have been involved with 10 documented and confirmed lightning strikes involving people. The worst case occurred about 35 years ago in the area of North Division Street when a group of individuals were warned to leave the beach but insisted on staying and huddled under
an umbrella. Unfortunately for them and their loved ones at home it was the last bad decision they would ever make, because a single bolt of lightning killed all four instantly. Although our Surf Rescue Technicians left the safety of the buildings where they had retreated for cover and performed lifesaving measures, the end result was four fatalities. It is amazing to me that people are often concerned about sharks and is it safe to be in the ocean. But lightning is a real and present danger that is emphasized by the following statistics: In a recent 12-year period, Maryland ranked 25th in lightning deaths with an average of over 1 per year, while in that same period there were no incidents involving sharks. There is some confusion about where is the most dangerous place to be during a storm since our Surf Rescue Technicians clear the water first. This isn’t because it is more dangerous in the water but rather because it takes far more time for a person in the water to exit and then gather their belongings before leaving the beach. As your Surf Rescue Technician is informed of an approaching storm they will signal everyone out of the ocean and inform them of the situation. As soon as they see visible lightning they will signal everyone on “their” beach to quickly take cover off the beach. The Surf Rescue Technician will then assure that everyone they are responsible for has been warned of the dangerous situation and then they too will quickly seek safety off the beach. Your Surf Rescue Technician does not go off duty but finds a safe location just off the beach while continuing to warn people to stay off the beach until they receive the “all clear.” Once the “all clear” is given they will return to their post and you can return to your beach activities. Remember… This is for your safety.
Stuffed monkey inspiration for Mullen’s children’s books
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 29, 2016) Author Rose Mullen added “Flowers from RR’s Garden” to her children’s book series earlier this month, which is inspired by her 16inch stuffed monkey. In January of 2006, Mullen’s husband, Randy, bought her the monkey at Wacky Bear Factory on the Ocean City Boardwalk. The purchase included an adoption certificate and the monkey was named “RR,” using the couple’s initials, Randy and Rose. Her second book, “Flowers from
RR’s Garden,” follows the stuffed monkey on his travel adventures while revealing his love of flowers with vivacious photographs. “It’s about the flowers growing in the gardens in Ocean City and the Philippines,” Mullen said. “There will be descriptions of the flowers. We always admire them, but don’t know the names or story behind it.” The Mullen’s have a huge garden in the Philippines and a smaller one in Ocean City. All of the flowers described in “Flowers from RR’s Garden” are growing in one of their gardens. See CHILDREN’S Page 61

Children’s book series expanding Continued from Page 59 There are about 20 different flowers and flower arrangements discussed in the 37-page book, which costs $10. Mullen enjoys writing stories and wants readers to realize the importance of experience gained while traveling. The last couple pages of her book has 26 words from the national language of the Philippines, Tagalog, translated into English. In addition, there are three poems written by Mullen describing her thoughts on springtime and flowers. “I hope it’s encouragement [for people] to plant flowers for a lovely and beautiful environment,” Mullen said. Her first book, “RR, the Traveling Stuffed Monkey Buddy,” was released in May and is about a boy who brings the stuffed money back and forth from the United States to the Philippines. The last page of her book has 18 Filipino words translated in English. The book is 25 pages and costs $10. “The book includes a poem about the monkey and a little bit of information about the Philippines,” Mullen said. “I hope to help expand the vocabulary and reading ability for children. The book is geared toward people 8 years and above.” Mullen was born in the Philippines and she has been a United States citizen for 10 years. The Mullen’s purchased property in Ocean City and
they have been living in the resort town since 2007. The couple also have a house in the Philippines and RR goes back and forth with them. Rose Mullen In the fall, Mullen plans to introduce two more books: “RR and Friends” and art from recycling. In September, “RR and Friends” is slated to be introduced, which will invite readers to meet all stuffed animal and human friends of RR including Mullen’s grandchildren. In October, Mullen plans to publish a book about art RR makes from recycled materials such as newspapers and papier-mâché. Go to Amazon.com to purchase “RR, the Traveling Stuffed Monkey Buddy” and “Flowers from RR’s Garden” or email Mullen at rrmullen60@outlook.com.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Walker makes chicken and waffles on a stick polls will be open until Aug. 21. The two remaining finalists are supposed to be announced on the Food Network website by Aug. 29. The show will be taped at the end of September or sometime in October. Competing on “Chopped” is a very difficult task. First of all, you have no idea what the mystery ingredients are until you open the basket. Then on top of that, they choose food items that make no sense when paired together. Remember, you must also transform these ingredients which complicates matters. In addition, you are on national television which is very nerve-racking, you have only 30 minutes to complete your dish, and you are working in an unfamiliar kitchen. I am quite proud of my dish and check the Food Network website everyday to see how I stand with the competition. I truly feel I have a good shot at winning one of the last two spots. That being said, I am taking the position I will be a finalist. When one is notified that they will be appearing on “Chopped,” he or she will not have much time to prep before the taping. As a result, homework and studying are on my daily menu. I have been unsure how to prepare myself in the event that I am a final-
Dip sweet, savory dish in favorite maple syrup; meal will be hit with entire family
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (July 29, 2016) It is official, I am being considered to appear on the cooking show, “Chopped.” The “Chopped At Home Challenge” sponsored by Sargento has two confirmed finalists. The final competition is a grilling contest and the last two qualifiers will be chosen. The four mystery ingredients are pork tenderloin, cherry tomatoes, broccoli and Sargento cheese. One must not only use, but transform, all four ingredients. The finalists will be flown to New York City to compete on the show. Each entry will be graded on creativity, presentation and appetite appeal and will receive up to 60 points. The entries will also receive between 0 and 40 points based on the number of votes received. Beginning Aug. 1, the general public can cast their votes online at the Food Network’s website, where the

ist, but conclusion has come to the forefront. I have researched all the past episodes which include the secret ingredients for each show. “Chopped” is notorious for including items that many chefs are not familiar with. By reviewing the past episodes, I am increasing my culinary knowledge and am also forcing myself to get use to this outlandish pairing. Trying to make sense out of the strange combination of mystery ingredients is what alarms me the most. Creativity certainly comes into play. Porchetta, popcorn, okra and crema catalana were entrée ingredients in one particular show in Season 27. After much consideration, I came up with Porchetta Oscar. First, I would put the popcorn in a blender and pulse it until it has the consistency of bread crumbs. I would dredge the slices of the porchetta (a savory, fatty and moist boneless pork roast) in seasoned popcorn bread crumbs and fry it until it has attained a golden brown crust. Next, I would poach a lobster tail; I have to make sure it is perfectly cooked. Then I would proceed to make a crema catalana béarnaise sauce. Crema catalana is a Spanish custard dessert very similar to crème brulee. If I add champagne vinegar,

dry white wine, tarragon, shallots, salt and pepper to the crema catalana, I might be able to pull off a believable crema catalana béarnaise sauce that will embellish the lobster and hopefully impress the judges. The last component of the dish is okra. I know my plate is lacking acidity and color, so I would roast the okra. The process of roasting will eliminate the gooeyness of the okra and the addition of tomatoes, onions and garlic will add beautification and depth to the overall composition. But I still need a starch and I want to keep the flavor profile simple. I decide to make a potato rosti. Basically it is shredded potatoes that are fried until a crispy exterior has been formed.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Walker hoping to appear on ‘Chopped’ show Continued from Page 63 porchetta and fry it in a very hot skillet to get some drippings. Then I would fry the potato rosti in the same pan to incorporate the flavor of the porchetta. This way I will have used the porchetta in two ways. Plating goes as follows; the potato rosti goes on the plate first. Then the crispy porchetti is placed on top of that, followed by the poached lobster tail. Spoon on the crema catalana béarnaise and a side of baked okra completes the dish. I have to admit I am having fun preparing for the possibility of being on “Chopped.” If you want to see my dish, go to the Food Network website, click on Sargento Chopped At Home Challenge, and then click on “Gallery.” The dishes will appear with
the presenters name underneath it. Chicken and waffles on a stick is fun and fits with the theme of “Chopped” in the sense that it is a parlay of whimsical pairings. This recipe is easy to make and is sure to be a hit with the entire family. Enjoy! Ingredients 1 pound chicken tenders 1/8 cup plus 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon dried crushed rosemary 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 3 large eggs 1 cup buttermilk ¼ cup chicken stock
2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons cornstarch canola oil for frying 8-inch wooden skewers favorite waffle mix 1. Brine chicken tenders in a solution of 1 quart water and 1/8 cup kosher salt for 24 hours. Rinse chicken thoroughly with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. 2. Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a couple inches of oil. Preheat to 360 degrees. 3. In a medium bowl, combine remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dries rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Combine the spice mixture and chicken in a large Ziploc bag. Toss until chicken is completed coated with spices. Let stand for 5 minutes. 4. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and combine with buttermilk and chicken stock. In a medium bowl, add the flour, cornstarch and season with
salt and pepper. Mix well and dip each piece of chicken into buttermilk mixture and then coat in flour mixture. 5. Skewer each dredged chicken tender. Working in batches, fry the chicken until golden brown. Place cooked chicken on a cooling rack underlined with paper towels. Discard hot used oil in a cool pot. Replace with a couple inches of fresh oil and return temperature to 360 degrees. 6. Prepare waffle batter according to instructions on package. Dip the cooled, fried chicken skewers into the waffle batter and into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crisp. 7. Serve chicken and waffles on a stick with your favorite maple syrup on the side. Secret Ingredient - Luck. “The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.” — Barbara Sher

Teachers conduit between SDHS grad, Cole Mumford, first scholarship county schools and WCEF presented Receives inaugural George
(July 29, 2016) The Worcester County Education Foundation (WCEF) welcomes 14 Teacher Champions (TC), one selected from each school in the county. The teachers will represent and become the eyes, ears and voice of their school administration and educators. Defining and meeting the goals of the WCEF would not be possible without studying the immediate and long term needs of teachers, students and school administration. “We have asked this body of 14 teachers to become the conduit between the county schools and the Foundation. For instance, our goal to provide equal access to the tools necessary for a first-class education wouldn’t be possible without the invaluable input from teachers,” Board Member Patti Miller said. “They will provide continuous guidance as technology and their classroom needs evolve. This will help the WCEF respond quickly and modify its goals according to the changing needs of the classroom. Each TC will also update the administration, staff and parents in their school about the activities and progress of the
WCEF.” One of t h e WCEF’s Teacher Champions is Melissa Huntsberry. This will be her fourth M. Huntsberry year with the Worcester County School system. She is currently teaching all subject areas to middle school students at Cedar Chapel Special School. Huntsberry is a member of her School Improvement Team, the Tier I Intervention team for WCPS Special Education Strategic Planning, and is adapting curriculum for the Special Education Department of the Maryland State Department of Education. She earned her Bachelors degree from Tulane University and her Masters of Science in Education for Elementary and Special Education from Dowling College.
M. and Suzanne Hurley Memorial $1,000 award (July 29, 2016) The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum announces that Cole Mumford, a 2016 graduate of Stephen Decatur High School, has been awarded the first George M. and Suzanne Hurley Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $1,000. To compete for the scholarship, students had to submit an essay pertaining to the history of Worcester County. Mumford chose to write about William Julius Johnson (aka Judy Johnson), a native of Snow Hill who played third base in the Negro Baseball League. In 1929, he was named the Negro League MVP. After his retirement in 1936, he coached and scouted for major league baseball teams. In 1975, Johnson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. During his high school years, Mumford ran track and cross country and played baseball. He is a member of the National Honor Society. Currently residing in Berlin, Mumford will attend Salisbury University in the fall to major in business.

Nurse Tull receives DAISY Award
(July 29, 2016) Atlantic General Hospital awarded the DAISY Award for excellence in nursing to Patty Tull, RN during a recent presentation. Tull currently works in Surgical Services and has worked at Atlantic General Hospital since 2006. Winning the Daisy award was unexpected, she said. “Deciding to go back to school and changing my life and career, I always hoped to change and add to someone’s life,” Tull said. “This award makes me feel like I am becoming the nurse I always dreamed of hopefully being one day. I hope to continue being just that nurse.” The DAISY Award, created by The
DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, honors the extraordinary work nurses do for patients and families each day. Hospital leadership brought the awards program to Atlantic General to recognize the compassion and high level of care its nurses provide to residents and visitors of the community. Patients and visitors can nominate an Atlantic General Hospital and Health System nurse for the DAISY Award at any time. Nomination forms are available in every hospital department and health system physician office. Awards are bestowed quarterly. Atlantic General Hospital has been

Commentary
Fair or not, B’walk image tarnishes all
The story was picked up across the country, from the Albany Times Union in New York, to the San Francisco Chronicle on the West Coast and in media outlets down south. Like it or not, and regardless of all the family resort declarations that might be issued in the aftermath of the weekend melees downtown, Ocean City is getting an image problem. City officials don’t want to talk about it, publicly at least, judging from the absence of any comment on the weekend’s Boardwalk disturbances at the City Council’s work session on Tuesday. Apparently, the thinking is that these were isolated incidents that will fade from the public’s memory if nothing more is said, save official assertions that everything is under control. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case and the damage wasn’t done in one weekend. The late-night crowd on the southern end of the Boardwalk has been going downhill for years, according to residents, who routinely advise their friends and acquaintances to avoid it. The word gets out. Although these few blocks at night are hardly representative of the overall resort, which has far less crime than other population centers equal to summertime Ocean City, they do put a stain on the happy days postcard the resort wants embedded in the minds of its potential guests. This has to be addressed either by increasing the visibility and presence of law enforcement officers, or, if those resources already are deployed, making the public more aware of them. The answer is preventing trouble, which the scores of Boardwalk surveillance cameras apparently have failed to do, and vigorously reassuring residents, visitors and their friends in Ocean City’s market areas that they, not the bad actors, own the place. This is an election year and candidates should be telling voters what they intend to do and exactly how they intend to do it. General assurances that all will be well isn’t enough.

Convention upgrades
By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher I don’t watch national political conventions because they’re like a baseball game with the score 20-1 in the bottom of the ninth. We’re pretty sure who the winner will be, so there’s really no point. I therefore propose some changes in the conduct of these self-congratulatory assemblies, starting with free chicken wings for everyone. This isn’t to create a party atmosphere, but for the simple reason that you can’t eat chicken wings without getting something on you, and there’s nothing more entertaining than watching someone talk seriously and not realizing there’s a large spot of hot sauce on his or her chin that’s shaped like Texas. It’s a fact. Anyone who’s been in a group of wing eaters at a bar or restaurant knows you cannot keep your eyes off that one person who’s expounding on some heavy subject as the swirling red eye of Jupiter moves here and there. Will they realize it? Will they wonder why you’re staring? Will gravity go to work and drag it slowly down the facial cliff before it falls free? Fascinating. Just fascinating. Besides, not only are you listening, you’re following the actual lip movement, because every twitch of the jaw muscle, smile, grin, scowl or exhortation creates a new shape. Think of it as an audio-enhanced Rorschach test — “Oooh, I see a bat, a bunny, the opening credits of ‘My 600-pound Life,’ and a 1957 Chevy convertible with dual four-barrel carburetors.” You get a speaker up to the convention podium under these circumstances and I don’t care if he or she is extolling the virtues of wall-
paper paste as part of the party platform, you’re going to watch. I guarantee it. Another change I would make is to prohibit state delegation speakers from going on and on about how wonderful their states are, when the rest of us don’t live there and don’t care. Just get to the point and say, for instance, “The State of Wyoming delegation casts its 14 votes for …” But no, we have to hear, “The Great State of Wyoming, the Cowboy State, home of Yellowstone National Park, the birthplace of Elmer Lovejoy, who invented the automatic car door opener in 1898, the 13th leading consumer of Tater Tots in the country and where you can get 20 percent off at Bob’s Hardware and Novelties in Chugwater Monday through Saturday, casts its 14 votes for …” I don’t know about anyone else, but if I wanted to know that, I’d send for the brochure. Or we could consider our own circumstance: “The Great State of Maryland, the Old Line State, the Free State, the Land of Pleasant Living, home of the Star Spangled Banner, Babe Ruth, Parks Sausages, Koons Ford and proud sponsor of the life-sucking Personal Property Tax, casts its 38 votes for …” I say keep it simple and knock a few hours off this shindig. Finally, the parties should be honest about who’s paying for these things and just sell the convention naming rights rather than make us look it up. And then announce them in professional wrestling mode. Please pick a party and repeat: “Welcome to the Big Boy’s Bucket 0’ Chicken (party name) uhhhhhHHH National … uhhhhhHHH Convention! Get ready to rrrrrrRRRRRUMBLE!” I know I’d watch for sure.

MORE BARK THAN BITE A fast-moving thunderstorm was full of sound but held little fury as the rains were fleeting and both the thunder and lightning didn’t live up to the ominous clouds. A brief tornado warning was in effect during the Wednesday squall, and a funnel cloud was spotted on the south end of town but didn’t touch down.
