OC planner hired, much work to do Bill Neville comes to resort by way of Chincoteague, where he began in 2010

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) After a year-long vacancy, the Town of Ocean City has hired a new director of planning and zoning – and not a moment too soon. Bill Neville The city announced this week that former Town of Chincoteague Planning Director Bill Neville will begin as the Ocean City’s new head of planning and zon-

ing on Aug. 24. “My family and I have enjoyed living in and around Ocean City for the last ten years and we are pleased to feel like a part of the community,” Neville said in a press release. “I look forward to working closely with the Mayor and City Council, the staff, the various boards and commissions and, of course, the residents and property owners, to coordinate Ocean City’s Strategic and Comprehensive Plan for a bright future in our first-class resort town.” According to the city release, Neville was the director of Land Planning Services for Daft McCune Walker/DMW, and Senior Land EnSee HEATED Page 6

PARASITE CHECK Ann Barse, a Salisbury University biology professor, right, and several students collect specimens and parasites from a 551-pound blue marlin brought to Harbour Island Marina on 14th Street Monday during the 42nd annual White Marlin Open.

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) As part of the effort to keep the Ocean City Inlet navigable as it continues to fill with sediment, the Army Corps of Engineers said dredging operations would occur again next weekend. Called a “Band-Aid” solution by

Corps personnel, the dredge — paid for with $250,000 in advanced maintenance funding money allocated in late June — will target “hotspots” where the depth is clearly less than the total 12 feet for which the inlet is approved. “The dredging of the Ocean City See EFFORT Page 5

WMO organizers patch up after website attack By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer

(Aug. 7, 2015) It’s a uniquely 21st century problem: the White Marlin Open’s website has been under constant attack since the tournament began on Monday, disabling the pages and interrupting live streaming. As people who attempted to view the weigh-ins online know, attackers

disabled the webcams streaming the event in its first days, but new security measures and an assigned FBI agent could help alleviate the problem, tournament founder Jim Motsko said. “Whatever is trying to attack us can’t get back in,” Motsko said Wednesday. “It’s trying hard to get back into our systems, but so far it’s been unable to get past the enhanced security.”

Motsko said attackers were using a method called a distributed denial of service attack, or DDoS. Website data is stored on servers, which answer requests from browsers to display information: pages, photos and videos, for example. A denial of service attack is when someone purposely sends a large volume of junk data and numerous requests in a short amount of time.

Servers can have trouble determining which requests are legitimate and which are bogus, so they try to answer every request they receive, eating up processing power. A computer’s brain is its processor. Servers, especially those housing popular websites, are built to maximize storage and processing power. When a See WMO Page 8

Frontier Town, Fort Whaley sold to Sun Communities Two Worcester properties, one Florida campground part of $76.2 million deal

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) The pending sale of Frontier Town and Fort Whaley campgrounds have been a topic of conversation for months, but not until last Friday did it become official, as Sun Communities formally announced the closing of the sale on July 31. The deal, encompassing the two Maryland campgrounds and another in Florida were part of a $76.2 million deal, according to a company release and confirmed by Jon Colman, executive vice president of Sun Communities. Colman said he could not release the purchase price of Frontier Town, on Route 611, and Fort Whaley, on Route 50. Sun Communities is a Michiganbased manufactured home and recreational vehicle resort that bought Castaways near the Ocean City Airport last year. Sun Communities notified guests at Frontier Town and via their mailing lists on July 31. “We provide a notice — it’s a normal thing we do to let our guests know of the change in ownership,” Colman said. According to the notice, Sun Communities operates 250 communities in 30 states and serves more than 150,000 residents and guests. “This is our third purchase in the area, and we’ve found it to be a good place to do business. We’re looking forward to next year,” he said. Colman said he intends the change to the new management team to be smooth. “Part of the deal is we’ll keep existing management in place until the end of the season,” Colman said, “and we’ll transition in and take over at the end of November.” Colman said Sun Communities is purchasing the properties as-is, and will make capital improvements be-

fore opening again next year. Frontier Town opened in 1959 as a Wild West theme park featuring 70 cowhands, rodeo riders and Native American performers, according to the park’s website. The need to house these performers gave birth to the campground in 1963. In 1970, the water park was born and amenity improvements carried the theme park until the early 1990s, when a Nor’easter destroyed much of the campground, according to the website. The campground was rebuilt and continued to add features like Pony Island Arcade and Gifts and the Pony Espresso and Creamery, until the sale. Fort Whaley is described as FronSee NEW Page 5

Those camping in Fort Whaley are entitled to use of some of Frontier Town’s features, and receive discounts on admission to the Wild West show and High Ropes Adventure Park. Colman did not comment on any

changes to operations of the facilities, but said the company would announce improvements and changes once Sun Communities begins managing the campgrounds. Mitch Parker of the Parkel Corp., the family company that owns Frontier Town and Fort Whaley, was not available for comment.

So far, no losses have been reported. “For the long haul, we continue to urge the Army Corps of Engineers to take the most cost effective and time efficient approach in resolving the continual shoaling of the Ocean City Inlet. We need to keep the focus of action confined to the most highly impacted areas so that the process does not take too long or become too costly in resolving the cause of the shoaling,” Carozza said. Sometime next week, Bangert said, the Army Corps will decide to either resurrect the 1998 study and implement its findings or commission a new study taking current conditions into account. Local boaters and fishermen have reported seeing unusual erosion and sediment deposits ever since Superstorm Sandy hit the area in late October 2012.

“We have had an urgent shoaling situation in our Ocean City Inlet, causing major problems with commercial and recreational boats moving in and out of the Inlet. Immediate dredging action is absolutely necessary to prevent our commercial watermen and recreational boaters from leaving this area,” Carozza said. The Army Corps is also conducting other dredging operations in the area. “USACE also has a contractor that is dredging in the Sinepuxent Bay. Using Hurricane Sandy funds, the contractor is dredging the Sinepuxent and Isle of Wight channels and creating islands for migratory bird habitat. This project is nearly complete and should be finished in the next few months. Currently, the contractor is working in the northern half of the Sinepuxent Bay,” Bangert said.

Continued from Page 1 titlement Manager for Centex Homes, before starting with the Town of Chincoteague in 2010. Neville holds Environmental Studies and Landscape Architecture degrees from Syracuse University. He began working in land-use planning and development in 1984. “I am very pleased to welcome Bill to the Planning and Zoning Director position,” Mayor Rick Meehan said in the release. “A person of Bill’s caliber, including his knowledge, experience and leadership, will be a great asset to our community and the future of Ocean City.” Neville arrives at a time of particular need in the city’s Planning and Zoning Department, and in City Hall in general. Somewhat ironically, the man who would have been Neville’s boss, former City Manager David Recor, resigned following an incident that involved interviewing candidates for Neville’s new position. As has been previously reported, Recor waited until after his interviews with planning director candidates on Friday, July 10 to complete a required drug test, stemming from a minor accident in his city-issued vehicle that morning. The breach of policy was the last straw of simmering concerns amongst the council and city staff about Recor’s leadership style. Meehan, per the city’s charter bylaws, will serve as acting city manager until the council appoints a replacement, which may be several months if the council follows through with a national-level recruitment effort. Further, Neville’s department will be under pressure to deal with the most contentious zoning issue in recent years – the proposed R-1A zoning that would insulate certain single-family districts from vacation rentals. The proposal is supported by an outcry from residents, who say stricter zoning is needed to keep non-family tourist groups out of single-family neighborhoods, a rule that is allegedly frequently broken by landlords and real estate agents. The R-1A zone would ban rentals of less than 12 months in duration. Realtors, naturally, have fought back with counter-proposals that would stop short of an outright ban. Meehan said this week that he has scheduled a presentation by Coldwell Banker rental division Vice President Chris Mitchell for the next council’s work session on Tuesday, Aug. 11, to discuss alternatives to the ordinance currently on the table. Despite a positive recommendation from the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission, the council took no action last week on enabling legislation for the R-1A proposal.

Weather brings more calls for neck and back injuries Wave-related trauma still down vs. last year’s rough surf that claimed lives

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) With a series of coastal storms this week expected to continue for a few days, officials are urging swimmers to keep their heads up in the water – literally. Although nowhere near as bad as last year, rough surf over the past week has caused a small spike in the number of calls for neck and back injuries in the water. “Right now, we’re dealing with much rougher surf than we have been,” said Ocean City Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin. “We’ve not had a real busy summer thus far with neck injuries, but the last couple days you’ve heard a few. They come in bursts with the weather.” This week in particular, storm swells combined with the already high tide of a full moon to create sharp-breaking waves up and down Ocean City’s beaches – often known as shorebreak, when waves crash right at the shoreline rather than breaking gradually as they come in toward the beach. Ambulance requests this season by

the OCBP stood at 100 though last week, compared to 85 last year and 63 the year before that. Last week in isolation, however, was down to 14 calls versus 18 for the same week in 2014. Very few of these calls are attributable to wave-related injuries, Arbin said, and those that are have not been serious. “We haven’t had any flyouts of victims so far this year, which is the real indication of serious injuries are,” Arbin said. “So far, most of the neck injury calls have been minor. I was on one myself this morning where the gentleman hit bottom with his face while riding a wave. We called it in as a possible neck injury, but he walked out with just scrapes on his face.” Last summer was a particularly bad season for wave-related trauma, with several serious cases, including a man who eventually died from complications of a broken neck during body surfing. While it has been widely speculated that the rough surf was linked to the artificially high shorelines created by beach replenishment, a conclusive link has yet to be established. The timing of high tide cycles with visitation, and the presence of offshore storms, are also key variables in how heavy shorebreak is.

County picks $4.8M radio system Deal with Harris for new communications will run $8.6M over 15-year life

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Preferring a turnkey rather than piecemeal structure and favoring ownership of the core system rather than an ongoing lease arrangement, the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday voted to spend $4.8 million on a new radio system with the Harris Corporation of Lynchburg, Va. rather than rival Motorola. Local vendor Delmarva Two Way Radio’s bid was incomplete, in the county’s estimation, by failing to provide a 15-year operational cost, and therefore unable to be considered. The Harris bid started with a lump sum of $4.8 million for equipment and associated costs. It allows access to six antenna sites, have a dedicated technician working from the county offices in Snow Hill, replacement radios would be new and the county would own the core, or brain, of the system. The cost of ownership during a projected 15-year lifecycle, based on what the county was able to get out of the system being replaced, is another $3.8 million. Motorola, on the other hand, offered access to only five antennae, an on-call

technician based in Salisbury, all radios would be replaced with refurbished models, and the core system would be leased at a rate of $100,000 per year for $5.3 million. The cost of ownership according to their bid would be about $4.7 million more over the life of the system. The total cost of ownership, based on a 15-year lifecycle for the equipment is about $8.6 million for Harris and $9.9 million for Motorola.

‘We don’t want a system that goes down and have everyone pointing a finger at everyone else’ Commissioner Joe Mitrecic According to Emergency Services Director Fred Webster, all 922 radio units in use in Worcester would need to be replaced in order for them to function properly in the Motorola proposal. The Harris network could upgrade some of the existing radios, but Webster estimated between 750-800 units would still need to be replaced. Motorola said they would replace radios with refurbished units, while Harris offered new units. Commissioner Joe Mitrecic said Ocean City was looking at a similar replacement for its radios, and asked

Webster if there was an opportunity to bundle the requests in exchange for a discount on equipment. “Lightning strikes — things do happen,” Webster said, and explained that having independent structures adds a level of redundancy advantageous in an emergency. Webster said other counties and municipalities in the area were looking at replacement radios and were watching Worcester to see how to formulate their own requests for proposals and bids. Wicomico County, Webster said, in its process, was soliciting bids for separate vendors for equipment, infrastructure and other components. “We don’t want a system that goes down and have everyone pointing a finger at everyone else,” Mitrecic said. The commissioners voted unanimously to accept the bid from Harris, and move into contract negotiations, the next phase of the process. Additionally, the commissioners voted unanimously to extend a maintenance contract to the Harris Corporation for the upkeep of the Maryland Eastern Shore Interoperability Network tower sites. The cost of the contract totals almost $50,000, but is split by 10 counties. The other counties will reimburse Worcester as part of the contract agreement.

The “distributed” portion of the attack is what makes this relatively simple process more insidious and popular. If attacking a website with the intent to damage it, it’s probably best not to use your own equipment. The author of the attack will frequently use some kind of malware to gain control of Internetconnected computers, which can be located anywhere in the world. These machines, colloquially called “zombies,” do all the heavy lifting — repeatedly sending requests to servers of a targeted site, often without the owners’ knowledge. “The live webcams should be working today and for the remainder of the tournament,” Motsko said Wednesday. Although some accusations have been made about the identity of the attacker, Motsko said he has no proof of any allegations. “I’m not pointing any fingers without proof.

For the last six years, however, this rich event has also grown to serve a secondary purpose for struggling families on the Eastern Shore, providing 2,000 to 3,000 pounds of high protein food through the Maryland Food Bank. “This event is really the only time we get protein fish donated,” Food Sourcing Manager Butch Langenfelder said. “The great thing about it is that product stays right here on the Eastern Shore.” Langenfelder estimated 300 pounds of fillets were donated to the Food Bank on Monday, day one of the tournament, and distributed to Diakonia in West Ocean City. Other local groups should also receive dona- ‘This event is tions this week. really the only He estimated each serving contained be- time we get tween a quarter- and protein fish a half-pound of fish, donated.’ meaning the tournaFood ment could provide Sourcing upwards of 10,000 Manager meals. “We’re feeding Butch those that are in Langenfelder need, and getting fish like this, within 24 hours it’s back out to the community,” Langenfelder said. Langenfelder also praised the anglers for their participation in the Food Bank’s program. “They don’t have to do this,” he said. “They pay enough money to get into this event and we’re very fortunate for everything that we get. It’s a great thing.” Along with providing fresh food, Langenfelder said the high-profile nature of the White Marlin Open helps give an added boost to the nonprofit each August. “It’s a great event for the Maryland Food Bank because we can let them know there’s an awareness throughout the whole state. It’s just not in Baltimore, it’s just not on the Eastern Shore. It’s the whole state of Maryland where we have issues. “I wish I had this job 30 years ago,” he added. “When you’ve got the Motsko family, the anglers of course, the Reel Inn restaurant, Ms. Rose that fillets the fish right off the boats, I wouldn’t know what to do without all the great help from everyone involved. We’ve been doing it for six years and we hope to continue doing it for as long as we can.” For more information on the Maryland Food Bank visit www.mdfoodbank.org.

Staff recommendations fell on deaf ears for weeks until commissioners relented

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Citing a workable, but less than ideal solar arrangement in Pocomoke City, a favorable agreement in Wicomico County shepherded by solar power consultants CQI and a ticking clock on federal subsidies, Worcester County’s government staff was barely able to convince the county commissioners on Tuesday of the need for help in evaluating proposals. “I go back to my days at the (U.S. Merchant Marine) academy,” County Attorney Sonny Bloxom said. “When I learned celestial navigation, they didn’t hand me a sextant and a textbook, I had professors and teachers to help guide me.” For the past month, Worcester County officials have been entertaining the idea of installing a solar power production facility somewhere in the county to provide two megawatts of the approximately 8 megawatts of power county facilities use annually. The county already owns a solar array in use at the Worcester County Recreation Center, and the savings realized there plus federal and state subsidies provide the potential for significant power cost savings for at least the next 20 years. The average lifecycle of solar power production facilities is 20 years, according to vendors who presented the subject to the county. The county is pursuing an option whereby they would sign a power purchase agreement with a vendor and only be obligated to buy the produced power on an agreed-upon rate. The vendor would be responsible for the 7-10 acres of land a two-megawatt facility would require, all permits, maintenance and other costs. Until this week, commissioners had been adamant that staff could handle evaluating requests for proposals concerning the formulation of the agreement despite objections from the people who would be performing those evaluations. For their services and depending

on their level of involvement the solar consulting firm CQI quoted a maximum price of $6,000, an amount Bloxom said would easily be recouped within the first year of the brokered deal. Bloxom was part of a committee, comprised of department heads, convened to explore the county’s solar options. Included on the committee are Administrator Harold Higgins, Asst. Administrator Kelly Shannahan, County Engineer Bill Bradshaw, Planner Ed Tudor, Public Works Director John Tustin and Treasurer Phil Thompson.

‘Every week the taxpayers of Pocomoke are saving $2,200’ in what is considered a bad deal. ‘All the companies are rushing — they’re trying to figure out who’s serious and what they can get done. I commend Pocomoke City for moving forward and saving the taxpayers’ money.’ Economic Development Director Bill Badger The committee, Bloxom noted, was assigned three tasks: Explore the option of piggybacking onto a deal brokered in Wicomico County, evaluate similar deals to the extent possible inside and outside of Maryland and make recommendations. The Wicomico deal is a nonstarter, Bloxom said, because the county’s deal precludes other counties from joining in, but can provide useful insight into what kinds of deals are possible. Wicomico County, which just inked a deal with vendor Solar City, according to Bloxom, has a power purchase agreement set for a flat 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour of generation for 20 years, plus a five-year review of proposed versus realized power generation with monetary damages attached if production falls short, plus damages if the facility is not operational when the vendor promised delivery.

Bloxom, speaking for the committee, contrasted this deal with one existing in Pocomoke City. At the last Pocomoke City Council meeting, Councilman George Tasker gave an overview of the town’s process and deal. “Despite what Councilman Tasker said — it’s not a very good deal,” Bloxom said. Tasker, at the previous meeting, said the deal was presented by longterm City Manager Russ Blake and recommended for passage without opportunity for bid or comparable research. Bloxom said the Pocomoke City deal starts at 7.7 cents per kilowatt hour and escalates during the 20year term to 11.2 cents. It does not include damages or production guarantees that the Wicomico deal does. The differences, Bloxom said, were that Wicomico put out a request for proposals and used CQI as its consultant to evaluate the proposals. Also Wicomico County, unlike Worcester, is looking to locate the site on county-owned land. Worcester’s intention is only to purchase the produced power. Economic Development Director Bill Badger, at this point, had heard enough. “Every week the taxpayers of Pocomoke are saving $2,200” in what is considered a bad deal, Badger said. “All the companies are rushing — they’re trying to figure out who’s serious and what they can get done. I commend Pocomoke City for moving forward and saving the taxpayers’ money.” After a short exchange with Bloxom about the nature of the Pocomoke City deal, Badger left chambers and the evaluation continued. “After the previous unsolicited bid” from Standard Solar and Sun Edison, Bloxom said, “we received another unsolicited bid better than the previous.” In short, the offers are on the table and the decision on how to proceed needs to be made. “There is some feeling among the commissioners the staff is smart See COMMISSIONERS Page 16

Continued from Page 14 enough to handle this, but it takes time to learn an entire industry. It’s a whole lot quicker to hire someone who does this day in day out,” Bloxom said. State subsidies expire at the end of the year and may already be missed by county delays. Federal subsidies will expire at the end of next year, but facilities or counties looking to avail themselves of those subsidies need to have operational facilities by the end of next year. “I agree with Bloxom,” Merrill Lockfaw, who represents Pocomoke City, said. “It’s not that this committee isn’t capable, but we don’t want to make the same mistake as Pocomoke.” Not everyone on the board agreed.

“I think the staff seems pretty knowledgeable. I don’t know how much more they would need to know,” Commissioner Ted Elder said. “I don’t see the need to spend $4,000 or $6,000, I’ve already heard things I didn’t know about,” he said referring to a provision that would award damages to Wicomico County in case of limited production. “We asked you to do a job and you did it well. Sometimes you need another set of eyes,” Commissioner Diana Purnell said. “They have justifiable reasons or they would have never stated so. If we disregard what the committee is telling us now, we could have made the same decision weeks ago. The time is wasted if we don’t take their recommendation,” Lockfaw said. Commissioner Lockfaw moved to proceed with the request for proposal and hire CQI to evaluate the responses. Commissioner Mitrecic asked if the motion could be split into its component parts. Lockfaw did not agree to split the motion. Commissioner Chip Bertino seconded the motion. Commissioners Lockfaw, Bertino, Purnell and Bud Church voted for the motion, while Commissioners Bunting, Elder and Mitrecic voted against.

(Aug. 7, 2015) The Worcester County Commissioners discussed the following issues during their meeting on Tuesday.

The commissioners conditionally approved a request by Golden Quarter Farm in Berlin to allow the owner to exercise an option to put an additional house to the lot. The farm, according to a memo provided to the commissioners, was preserved in perpetuity in 2005 as a wildlife habitat under two easements. A combination of funding, including sources from the county, property owner and both state and federal programs totaling about $1 million went into the preservation of the project, Planner Katherine Munson said. The request will need to pass through other county processes such as the board of zoning appeals before construction can begin.

Landfill remediation The closed landfill in Snow Hill is generating methane gas at a rate unacceptable to regulators and the county has until the end of the year, weather dependent, to install a remediation structure. This has occurred before, and as a pilot program a trench was dug and a ventilator installed to great results, Public Works Director John Tustin said. Methane is produced by decomposition of materials in the landfill, which was closed when the central landfill opened.

Interconnections An estimated $1 million project to connect utilities at Mystic Harbour and Landings as well as between Landings and Assateague Pointe was approved to go to bid on Tuesday. The work will include 10,500 feet of pipe along Route 611 to connect Mystic Harbour and Landings, another 1,100 feet connecting Landings to Assateague Pointe, valves and fire hydrants plus site restoration.

Excavator grapple The commissioners’ reluctance to accept sole-source bids was tried on Tuesday, as the vendors supplying the grapple (the hinged claw) attachment all tendered bids within 40 cents of each other. The county owns a Gradall excavator, and only a Gradall attachment will work with this piece of equipment. Public Works Director John Tustin said using another part would be like “putting a Toyota part in a Chevy.” Board President Jim Bunting wondered if the project should be rebid, but relented when Tustin said the vendors are all likely under contract with the supplier. A vendor in Baltimore offered the price of $11,858, while two others, one from Dundalk the other Elliot & Frantz of Delmar, quoted $11,858.40. The county decided to spend the extra 40 cents and purchase from the local vendor.

Thank You Sandy!

We recently bought a home at the beach and Sandy Dougan was our real estate agent. We not only got the home of our dreams but we feel like we have made a friend. We had so much fun buying our new home with her. On many occasions, we asked Sandy to go out of her way and let contractors in to measure for future work to be done on our home. She always handled these issues without making us feel like we were asking too much of her. In our opinion, if you are serious about buying a beach home, use Sandy Dougan. She is a very nice person, a great agent, and she will really work hard to get you the house of your dreams. Thanks for all your hard work Sandy. John & Kate Molloy

City files to dismiss tax petition counter-case “selective application” of Maryland tax law principles by the city justifies pulling the case from the state system entirely and seeking federal judgment. At the same time, the city has responded to Christ’s first federal court filing with it’s own request for dismissal or summary judgment. In that filing, Christ had argued that federal court relief is appropriate since the city’s desire for judicial review of the petition in state court is itself a thinly-veiled attempt to stop OCTSJ’s initiative to cap taxes. This constitutes a habeas corpus violation, Christ says, hampering what he views as his inherent right to petition his government. OCTSJ’s petition proposes to amend the city’s charter to include a provision stating, “the Mayor and City Council of Ocean City shall not

Two federal motions from Christ may not have effect on town’s request for review

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) The total number of court cases surrounding the much fret-over tax limitation petition in Ocean City is now up to three, although there’s a strong possibility this will be going back down to two, or one, in the near future. Ocean City Taxpayers for Social Justice organizer Tony Christ has filed a second federal court case seeking emergency removal of the city’s case requesting declaratory relief, filed in Maryland Circuit Court, out of the state system and into the federal judiciary. Christ argues that what he views a

tax property at a rate greater than thirty-eight cents ($0.38) per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation.” This level, 38 cents per hundred dollars of assessment, was the tax levy in the 2008-2009 fiscal year, the last budget struck prior to the 2008 financial collapse. Since then, the city’s tax rate – in response to declining property values – has risen to 47.8 cents for the coming fiscal year. If approved, the measure would thus cut taxes by nearly 10 cents, forcing the city to cut its operating budget by at least $8 million. The petition garnered enough signatures to meet the margin of 20 percent of registered voters, as required by Maryland law, to initiate a referendum at the next election. But in the city’s response to Christ’s federal filing, City Solicitor

Guy Ayres argues that the city’s Circuit Court case is simply itself a matter of due process, in which the city is requesting review and judgment as to whether putting OCTSJ’s proposal on the ballot would be legal. “This does not illustrate a deprivation of constitutionally-guaranteed rights,” Ayres wrote. “Instead, it shows a conscious effort by Defendant [the Town of Ocean City] to ensure the propriety of Plaintiffs’ tax petition. Defendant has not denied Plaintiffs’ right to petition in any way during the tax petition process. As such, Plaintiffs have failed to allege facts sufficient to bring forth a cognizable First Amendment claim.” In other words, Christ cannot claim that any request for legal intervention by the city is, itself a legallyintervenable violation of his group’s freedom of speech. Regardless, OCTSJ will also have to respond by next week to the city’s filing in Maryland Circuit Court. In that case, the city’s questioning of the petition’s legality stems from a 1992 brief from the Maryland Court of Appeals, regarding a similar case between Anne Arundel County and anti-tax advocate Rayburn Smallwood, as well as another parallel case between an activist group and Baltimore County. In both cases, the court found that ballot provisions which would defacto set the tax rate were in violation of section 6-302 of the Maryland Code, which dictates that the county council was to set the tax rate. Having the tax rate dictated by charter amendment thus violates this basic organization.

SAVE THE DATE

Circuit court case does not infringe on rights, city says The legal stipulation, Ayres has argued, is the same for municipalities, as the same language used in 6-302 is used in section 6-303, which assigns municipal tax powers. The courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasoning goes back to the basic idea of representative democracy. Representative bodies are elected to look out for the interests of all constituents, and are thus endowed with legislative powers, as opposed to simply legislating by popular majority. Thus, the court found that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the exercise of the legislative initiative power [by petitioners] ... completely circumvents the legislative body, thereby totally undermining its status as the primary legislative organ.â&#x20AC;? However, certain elements of the Anne Arundel and Baltimore petitions were found to be correct in that they did not set a hard level of taxation, but rather provided guidelines for the legislative body, such as requirements that tax increases be pegged to the Consumer Price Index. Only those elements of the referendum that mandated a tax rollback regardless of action from the county councils were deemed illegal. In his federal filing, Christ argues that OCTSJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petition meets this test, and that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for review can thus be relieved federally under

habeas corpus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The petition did not attempt to control assessments, nor did it attempt to fix the amount of revenue to a prior period such as earlier petitions in Baltimore, Talbot, and Anne Arundel with which the state court found fault,â&#x20AC;? Christ wrote in his federal filing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2009, the last time the tax rate was 38 cents, the Town of Ocean City received record revenues. Since the petition does not fix revenues to a prior period, it is not a rollback.â&#x20AC;? To this point, Christ argues that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over-taxation problem was created prior to 2009. In 2004, Christ notes, the city collected only about $26 million in tax revenue. In the ensuing years, as total property values rose rapidly, the city did not reduce the tax rate to fully compensate, driving up the municipal budget. In 2009, the total tax burden stood at nearly $48 million. Thus, Christ argues, the rapid growth of government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the uneven application of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;constant yieldâ&#x20AC;? tax revenue methodology during the boom years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has created an excessive burden post-2009, as the city has only dropped itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxes about 15 percent in the past six years, whereas it hiked them about 80 percent during the six years before that.

Cost marginal compared to work efficiency, FOP says have to get the best people for that position.” Cars being taken home by CID officers is similarly said to be a matter of efficiency, as detectives are often called out to investigations outside of regular hours. In these cases, detectives would prefer to have their duty cars containing their equipment at home, rather than having to stop at 65th Street to pick up their duty vehicle before going to the scene of the investigation. Victims, suspects, and evidence, for legal and security reasons, cannot be transported in personal cars. “There are times when detective would have to go past AGH [Atlantic General Hospital], pick up a vehicle at 65th Street, and go back to the hospital to interview the victim. That just flies in the face of basic operational efficiency,” Buzzuro said. Under the new policy, all 21 detectives’ cars in the CID will be assigned as take-home vehicles. Previously, only 11 cars were taken home by detectives who were designated as on call during off hours. “The probability is no, not all 21 personnel will be called out at the one time. But especially during the summer, we are dealing with several high-profile cases that are in different stages at any given time, and you

never know who will be needed when,” Buzzuro said. Last year, the CID’s Major Crimes Unit investigated 197 cases, according to the OCPD’s 2014 annual report. This number would not include ongoing vice and narcotics operations, which CID detectives also conduct. The council also approved allowing the OCPD to continue what are known as “saturation patrols,” currently conducted only in the summer, into the off-season. This involved having officers who live in Ocean City drive their marked patrol cars home between shifts to create a more visible police presence in residential neighborhoods. Added cost for saturation patrols is estimated at $475 in fuel and maintenance per car per year, with an additional 10 cars eligible. Cost for additional CID and K-9 take-homes is pegged at $1,150 per vehicle per year, again with 10 additional cars eligible. Total cost for the vehicle policy resolution would thus come to around $15,000 annually. “If look at the department’s total budget [$20.5 million], $15,000 is very marginal for something that we feel is really important for us to better do our jobs,” Jones said.

Proposed Worcester facility passes Stadium Auth. vote By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) An indoor/outdoor sports complex to be located somewhere within the county has cleared the Maryland Stadium Authority by unanimous decision and now progresses to the state legislature for another approval. Details of the project first emerged in January, although there had been some communication between Hat Trick consultants, the Texas-based firm with a hockey focus and Economic Development Director Bill Badger beforehand. Hat Trick consultants have an ownership interest in a minor league hockey franchise, and would like to see a facility here that could house it or another hockey team, plus other events or sports teams. The Worcester County Commissioners added outdoor facilities to the proposal for what was originally an enclosed structure. Hat Trick, which undertook an initial feasibility study at its own expense and contributed $5,000 towards the Stadium Authority study, declared a facility could be an economic boon to the county, and serve as a hub for commercial and retail development. A number of state and local officials, including the commissioners petitioned the state to look upon the project favorably. Two weeks ago, the commissioners voted to approve a tweak to their initial study proposal to make it more palatable

to state-level elected officials who must now evaluate the project. Of concern is the relative closeness of other facilities that have accepted state funding, such as the Roland E. Powell Convention Center and the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center. Previously, the first phase of the study would examine both the market and economic conditions within the county to assure viability. The Stadium Authority asked to split the two into their own phases. The county’s portion, $15,000, will go toward the market analysis, or the new phase one. The state Business and Economic Development office is proposed to split its $25,000 contribution, secured by Badger, between the phases and contribute $15,700, joining the Stadium Authority’s $11,900. This is also where Hat Trick’s $5,000 comes in. Phase two will be totally funded by the Stadium Authority and the state economic development department. Badger said the reason for the change was the percentages of state funding attached to the study were enough to make final approval for the project by the General Assembly more difficult. The state is not decreasing the dollar value it is expected to contribute. Projections put profits at about $300,000 per year. These numbers will be verified by the MSA study.

Aug. 9, 1945: Soviets launch offensive on Japanese Army

By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Seventy years ago, at one minute past midnight, on Aug. 9, 1945, the Soviet Red Army launched a massive offensive against the Japanese Kwangtung Army in Manchuria. Named “Operation August Storm,” the offensive was conducted three months, to the day, after the German surrender. That was exactly what Stalin had promised President Franklin Roosevelt during the Yalta Conference in the Crimea of the Soviet Union in February 1945. At the Tehran Conference in November 1943 and at the Yalta Conference in February 1945, Joseph Stalin had agreed to declare war on Japan three months after Germany would be defeated. The participation of the Soviet Union in war against Japan came with a price. Stalin was promised that the south Sakhalin Island, the Japanese Kurile Islands, and northern Korea, were to be his. On April 5, 1945, the Soviet Union informed Japan that the Soviet Union

would not renew the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact of 1941, which ensured non-aggression between the two nations through April 13, 1946. At 2300 hours, Transbaikal time on Aug. 8, 1945, Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov informed the Japanese ambassador in Moscow that the Soviet Union was revoking the neutrality pact with a declaration of war effective on Aug. 9. At this point, the neutrality pact was still six months from its natural expiration date. The Soviet troops arrayed for the attack on Manchuria were organized in three “fronts.” On Aug. 9, these “fronts” poured into Japanese-occupied northeastern China, a region known as Manchuria that had been governed by the puppet regime of Manchukuo since 1932. The Soviet troops were of the Far Eastern Theater of Operation, under the overall command of Marshal Aleksandr Vasilevsky, who envisioned a giant pincer movement. In the far west, the Transbaikal Front, under Marshal Rodion Y. MaSee WORLD WAR II Page 24

WORLD WAR II Continued from Page 23 linovsky, was to attack from the west across the Inner Mongolian desert and over the Greater Khingan mountain range, with Mukden as its primary target. The attached 36th Army was to break off after the initial invasion and head toward Harbin and Qiqihar to meet the 2nd Far East Front. The 2nd Far East Front, under Gen. M. A. Purkayev, was to attack in the center, largely in a support role, with the primary objectives of securing Harbin and Qiqihar. Upon the successful completion of these objectives, the front was to move toward Port Arthur, after the 1st Far East Front completed its primary objectives. Finally, from the east over the Lesser Khingan mountain range, the 1st Far East Front, under Marshal Kiril A. Meretskov, was to capture the cities in eastern Manchuria, including Changchun. Its secondary objective was to cut off Japanese escape routes into Korea, and its third objective was to invade and occupy northern Korea. In total, 1,577,725 men in 89 divisions with the support of 3,704 tanks, 1,852 self-propelled guns, 27,086 artillery pieces, and 3,721 aircraft were assembled for the invasion. On the Japanese side, Gen. OtozĹ? Yamadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Japanese Kwangtung Army fielded only 700,000 men organized in 25 divisions (two of which were tank divisions) and six independent mixed brigades. They were further supported by the 40,000-strong Manchukuo Defense Force in eight divisions and the 10,000-strong Mengjiang militia from Inner Mongolia. In terms of machines, the Japanese had 1,215 armored vehicles (most of which were light tanks and armored cars), 6,700 artillery pieces, and 1,800 aircraft. In terms of training, the Kwangtung Army, at this time, was a skeleton force, where its equipment and divisions were manned by older men. Its best troops, by that time, had been sent to the Pacific Theater to fight against the Americans. Thus, the Japanese forces were poorly prepared to defend against such an invasion.

WORLD WAR II: AUGUST STORM Continued from Page 24 Additionally, Japanese intelligence had failed to realize the scale of the Soviet movement toward the east, perhaps not expecting the Soviet Union to void the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact. The attack from the west was a complete surprise to the Japanese, who did not expect the Soviet troops to cross the Greater Khingan mountain range, which was said to be impassable. In addition to the element of surprise, the greater mobility enjoyed by the Soviet forces, and the usage of airborne units at key airfields, caused the Japanese lines to completely crumble. Fighting continued despite the fact that the Japanese foreign ministry had expressed Emperor Hirohito’s wish to end the war on Aug. 10, 1945. On the Soviet side, the commanders received orders to continue the campaign, while some of the Japanese commanders were confused as to whether Tokyo was heading toward a cease-fire. Others ignored the political developments and were determined to fight until the last man.

On Aug.14, Soviet troops reached the Yalu River vicinity, but stiff Japanese resistance prevented them from reaching the river itself in great numbers. On Aug. 18, several amphibious landings were made in northern Korea, Sakhalin, and in the Kurile Islands, with the latter politically driven for the goal of postwar occupation. Although geographically distant from the Manchurian region of northeastern China, the Soviet Kurile Islands Landing operation was considered part of the greater Manchurian Strategic Offensive operation. The Soviet 87th Rifle Corps and elements from other units landed on various islands, largely overrunning defenses manned by the Japanese 91st Infantry Division (at islands of Shiashkotan, Paramushiro, Shumshu, and Onekotan), 42nd Division (at Shimushiro), and the 89th Infantry Division (at Iturup and Kunashiri). Japanese troops surrendered on Aug. 23 1945, but pockets of resistance continued until the very end of the Pacific War. Back in northeastern China, by

AUGUST 7, 2015

Aug. 20, the cities of Mukden, Changchun, and Qiqihar were all declared secure. On Sept. 2, Japan formally surrendered. On Sept. 8, American 8 troops landed at the port city of Inchon, in Korea, to prevent the Soviet Union from occupying all of Korea. By the end of the campaign, the Soviet Union had suffered 12,031 killed and 24,425 wounded. Japanese forces suffered more than 60,000 killed. A very large number of Japanese were taken prisoner by the Soviets – by some estimates 600,000. Though most westerners believe the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the events that drove Japan to surrender, the atomic bombs were actually only part of the equation. Many historians, such as Tsuyoshi Hasegawa and Dan van der Vat, argued that the Soviet declaration of war was as important, if not more so, in the Japanese decision to capitulate. During the last months of the war the Japanese, not knowing the secret agreement for the Soviet Union to

declare war on Japan, were seeking Soviet assistance, as a neutral power, to negotiate surrender terms with the western Allies. With the seemingly neutral Soviet Union suddenly changing face and tearing up the non-aggression pact, Japan suddenly lost its last hope, which affected the Japanese psyche tremendously. In terms of future consequences, the Soviet occupation of Manchuria, and the transfer of all Japanese weapons and equipment – enough to equip a million man army – allowed Mao Zedong’s Chinese Communist forces to recuperate and rebuild, eventually winning the Chinese Civil War. The Soviet forces were also at the doorstep of Japan, a few miles away from the northern Japanese Home Island of Hokkaido. With the final date for signing the instrument of surrender fast approaching, and with a lot of pressure from President Truman, Stalin refrained from attacking Hokkaido. The Soviet Manchurian Operation was a classic large scale Blitzkrieg operation. In a three-week fast-moving offensive, the Soviets captured Manchuria, south Sakhalin Island, the Kurile Islands, parts of Northern China, and Northern Korea. An area the size of Western Europe was overrun by the Red Army in a mere three weeks. NEXT WEEK: V-J DAY

By Brian Gilliland Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Crashes involving cars striking bicycles, scooters or mopeds are down from the previous two years, according to data provided by the Ocean City Police department. Often, according to police, it is the bicyclist or pilot of the non-car or truck involved in the accident that is assigned blame. This year, police have recorded seven collisions and in five of those the bicyclist was found at fault. Only one of this year’s crashes required emergency medical services. Last year at this time, there had been 22 such crashes with a year-end total of 31. The bicyclist was found to be at fault in 20 of those cases, and emergency services were required 11 times. The year 2013 matches this one, with seven reported incidents at this time and 19 at year’s end. The bicyclist was found to be at fault in all but three of the collisions. Eight incidents required emergency transport. Scooter traffic, which includes mopeds, buggies and other similar method of conveyance were similarly found to be at fault in most of the crashes recorded during the past three years. So far this year, there have been 20 reported scooter incidents, but at-fault and EMS data is not available at press time, because police said the information has not yet been finalized. Last year, a total of 31 such crashes had occurred by this time, with a yearly total of 51. The scooter driver was found to be at fault in 35 cases, and 16 required emergency transport. In 2013, there were also 31 crashes at this time, with a yearly total of 43. The scooter driver was found to be at fault 27 times, and 12 required emergency services. As of July 24, there had been eight collisions between cars and pedestrians, with 14 in 2014 and 16 in 2013. There has not been a pedestrian death caused by a collision with a vehicle in the resort since 2012, when there were two, according to police.

OC condo projects show resilience to sluggish market New phase of Ocean Mist to claim open parking lot

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Much like a superhero franchise that keeps swinging back every couple years, Ocean City continues to see the sporadic resuscitation of condo projects despite the slow market. The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission gave preliminary approval to another this week, the second phase of the Oceans Mist condominium, to be located on Baltimore Avenue between Sixth and Seventh Streets. The new building will contain four units, each on a separate floor, with the four stories sitting overtop ground-level parking. The building will be an accessory to the existing Oceans Mist building, located on the Boardwalk between Sixth and Seventh Streets. The property where the new building will sit is immediately across the alley to the west, just south of the Nock Apartments, with the facade of the new building to face Baltimore Avenue. The lot is currently an open parking area. “We will have documents drawn up as to what exactly is to be shared between the new building and the existing condo,” said Jeff Thaler of Atlantic Planning, Development, and Design. “Otherwise it’s a pretty straightforward project.” Thaler is backing the project along with fellow local developers Jay Bergey and Lewis Bush. As is often the case in Ocean City, the only hiccup was parking. A previous building on the lot that was torn down had been grandfathered for a two-space deficiency. These rights typically carry over to any new construction, but expire after two years. Due to the gap between the first and second phases, the parking credit on the site had run out, but Thaler was able to successfully lobby the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals for a new two-space exception.

The Backlash crew pose with Cheryl McLeskey’s 94-pound white marlin on Wednesday at Harbour Island Marina on 14th Street. The fish was in first place as of Thursday morning and potentially worth $1,114,000.

McLeskey lands 94-pound white Marlin third largest in WMO history; if remains on top, estimated payout $1.11M

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 7, 2015) After three days of weigh-ins, at the close of the Harbour Island Marina scale Wednesday night, only one qualifying white marlin had been boated during the 42nd annual White Marlin Open. But, that marlin was a big one. At 94 pounds, it is the third largest in tournament history. On Wednesday afternoon, the Backlash arrived at the 14th Street marina with Cheryl McLeskey’s white marlin. As the numbers on the scale climbed, WMO organizers, dock staff, spectators and especially the Backlash crew, watched in anticipation. When it stopped at 94 pounds, everyone cheered while the Backlash teammates hugged and gave high fives. “It came up to the bait and I just ran to the line … It took about 10 minutes to get in and when we saw it jump we knew it was a catcher and we knew we were going to boat it,” said McLeskey of Virginia Beach, Va.

“When we saw it jump we couldn’t believe it … The second we got it in the boat we came right in.” McLeskey, an experienced angler, was named the top overall participant and top lady angler during the 2014 Virginia Beach Billfish Tournament last August, releasing six white marlin and a sailfish. The fish she reeled in Wednesday is potentially worth $1,114,000 according to www.whitemarlinopen.com. “I’m so excited,” she said. While women have placed in the top three in the white marlin division of the tournament, none have caught the winning fish. McLeskey said if she and the Backlash crew do take home some money, a portion would be donated to charity. The only qualifying blue marlin brought to the scale as of Wednesday night was a 551 pounder. Larry Hesse Jr. of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. landed the fish aboard Goin In Deep on Monday. The estimated payout for the fish is $595,000. As of Thursday morning, Logan Pusey of Girdletree, held the top spot in the tuna division. His 177-pound big eye reeled in aboard Rumor Has It on Monday could bring in $425,000.

Bill Collector/Greene Turtle angler Andrew Howard of Olney, Md. was in second place with a 157.5-pound big eye he landed on Monday. He and his teammates could win $64,000 for the fish. Mike Beckett of Moorestown, N.J. was in third place with two days of fishing remaining with the 155-pound big eye he boated while fishing on Pez Machine Wednesday. The crew has the potential to receive $53,000. Chris Manetta of Brick, N.J. took over first place in the dolphin division on Wednesday with the 42 pounder he caught aboard Tra Sea Ann. The estimated payout for the fish is $16,500. Turn Me Loose angler Jesse Morris of Centreville reeled in a 36.5-pound dolphin while fishing on Monday. It could earn the team $12,500. Joe Hollister of Conestoga, Pa. held the third-place spot after three days of competition with his 36-pound dolphin he landed aboard Brenda Lou on Monday. The estimated payout for the fish is $2,000. Jay Mascaro of Jamison, Pa. was in first place in the wahoo division as of Thursday morning. The 45 pounder he hooked aboard Warden Pass on See FINAL Page 40

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 7, 2015) Close to 200 lady anglers fished on 31 boats during the Ocean City Marlin Club’s seventh annual “Heels and Reels” tournament last weekend. Franky Pettolina, OCMC president and co-director of the tournament with Amanda Shick, thought the competition as a whole went well. “A fair amount of fish were caught. Some decent tuna, and marlin fishing was good. You needed at least four [releases] to be in the top three,” he said. “About a half dozen ladies caught their first marlins.” Prize money and participation were up this year compared to 2014. Last year 29 boats were entered into the tournament and nearly $33,000 was awarded to the winners. This year with 31 boats, a total of $42,150 was presented to the top teams. The Miss Annie crew, which consisted of Amanda Strayer, Katie Tyler, Brandi Zirckel and Kristy Zik, earned $16,920. The ladies swept the tuna division with 56.4-, 48.4- and 40.4-pound yellowfin. They also took first place in the dolphin division with a 20.2 pounder. Slaughterhouse angler Pam Hess landed a 20-pound dolphin, good for second place and $1,674. The Buckshot finished in third place with Tamara Miller’s 15.4-pound dolphin. The fish was worth $1,116. The Grande Pez crew won the billfish release division with 550 points. The ladies were awarded $15,295. Max Bet anglers released four white marlins for 400 points and second place. The group won $3,967. The Lights Out crew also released four whites, earning a $2,678 paycheck. Emma Campbell released a white marlin aboard Reel Estate to win the junior angler division. She took home $500. Approximately $8,000 will be presented to the Ocean City Marlin Club Auxiliary’s Scholarship Fund through tournament proceeds, donations, 50/50 raffle and silent auction. “We’re real happy about that,” Pettolina said of the amount generated for the scholarship fund. Over the past seven years, the OCMC has donated about $23,000 to the scholarship fund. The Ocean City Marlin Club’s next event is the 57th annual Labor Day White Marlin Tournament, scheduled for Sept. 4-6. For more information, call 410-213-1613.

The Sweet Water held the secondplace spot with Bel Air resident Jason Connellee’s 43.5-pound wahoo. The fish is estimated to be worth $1,500. As of Wednesday night, no qualifying sharks had been brought to the scale. A total of 307 boats are participating in this year’s tournament, which has a record payout of more than $3.87 million.

The only qualifying blue marlin brought to the Harbour Island Marina scale as of Wednesday night was a 551 pounder. Larry Hesse Jr. of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. landed the fish aboard Goin In Deep on Monday. The estimated payout for the marlin is $595,000.

In 2014, there were 288 boats entered and $2.77 million was paid out for the top fish. Tournament co-Director Jim Motsko said the more than $1 million jump in prize money this year is due to several factors – an increase in participation and the new Level WM (White Marlin Winner Take All) and Level DT (heaviest Daily Tuna) added entry level calcuttas. The cost to enter the white marlin category was $10,000. Before the tournament, Motsko said he thought between 15-30 boats would register for the calcutta and “it was a whole lot more than that.” Ninety-two signed up. The WM calcutta pot is $920,000 (gross). “It shocked me,” he said of the amount of participation.

Ocean City Lacrosse Classic begins Thursday About 2,500 players to compete in 23rd annual tournament, Aug. 13-16 By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Approximately 2,500 lacrosse players will arrive in the resort next weekend for the 23rd annual Ocean City Lacrosse Classic taking place Aug. 13-16. The 48 Men’s Elite (18 and older) division teams, 14 Master’s (35 and older) crews, seven Grandmaster’s

squads and three Men’s King Neptune (50 and older) teams kick off the lacrosse action on Thursday, Aug. 13, at Northside Park on 125th Street and the Northern Worcester County Athletic Complex off Route 113 in Berlin at noon. These teams play all weekend long in both locations. Four teams will also compete in the wheelchair “Rolling Surf” division and play next Friday and Saturday in the Northside Park gym. The Women’s Elite (18 and older) competition will include 20 teams beginning on Friday, Aug. 14, at Fourth

Street across from the skate park in Ocean City at 10 a.m. Most championship games will be played Sunday, Aug. 16 with the last one starting around 3 p.m. “Every team plays a minimum of four games to get into the finals,” Tournament Director Bob Musitano said. “It’s a double elimination, which makes it interesting because teams can still get into the championship even if they lose on Thursday.” On Saturday, Aug. 15, the Thompson brothers, a group of professional lacrosse players, are conducting a

clinic for third through 12th graders from 9 a.m. until noon at Northside Park. “It’s neat. These guys are pros and it will be cool for them to hold a free clinic in Ocean City,” Musitano said. The annual lacrosse tournament has grown from five or six teams to more than 100, with spectators able to catch more than 200 action-packed games next weekend, Musitano added. “It’s turned into quite an event and a reunion for others who played with See LACROSSE Page 42

Lady anglers ready for competition Many women participate yearly in Poor Girls Open, including cancer survivors

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 7, 2015) Female anglers will show off their fishing skills next week as hundreds are expected to participate in the 22nd annual Capt. Steve Harman’s Poor Girls Open, Aug. 1315. Women enjoy fishing in the tournament because it benefits a worthy cause — breast cancer research. Proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society and earmarked for breast cancer research and program development, under the “Pink Ribbon Classic at the Beach Series” — an assortment of local activities to raise breast cancer awareness while garnering money for the organization. “It serves a great purpose and the ladies love it. They really get into it,” said tournament co-Director Earl Conley, who added that he has received numerous phone calls from interested anglers. Many women make it a tradition to fish annually, including cancer survivors. Although it is a competition, there is camaraderie among the lady anglers.

The cost to enter the tournament is $450 per boat for up to three anglers. Other anglers may be added at $50 each (six-woman crew maximum per boat). Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three teams with the most billfish release points. White marlin and sailfish releases are worth 100 points each, while blue marlin and swordfish releases earn anglers 110 points. “Honesty is the No. 1 priority [in the release division.] To date, there’s never been a problem,” Conley said. Anglers who boat the three heaviest tuna and dolphin will also received cash prizes. There are added entry levels for billfish releases, tuna and dolphin. Girls 16 and younger may compete in the junior angler division. Two new calcuttas, or side wagers, have been added for 2015. This is the first year a wahoo calcutta has been included. It costs $150 to enter, and prize money will be awarded for first through third place. “The last several years we saw a few wahoos so we added a wahoo category,” Conley said. A $1,000 billfish release winnertake-all calcutta was also added. “I think it will be well received and bring more excitement to the tournament,” Conley said. “The billfish bite seemed to turn on in the last week.

Hopefully it will get red hot for the tournament. The tuna bite is hit or miss. There are some big eyes out there.” Registration for the tournament will begin at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12, at Bahia Marina, 22nd Street on the bay. A captains’ meeting will follow. Anglers may fish one of three days: Thursday, Aug. 13, Friday, Aug. 14, or Saturday, Aug. 15. Weigh-ins will take place daily from 4-7:30 p.m. at the marina. Pink Ribbon merchandise will be for sale, and auction items will be set up near the weigh-in scale in the Bahia Marina/Fish Tales parking lot. There will also be a 50/50 raffle. Donations will be accepted as well. An awards luncheon is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 16, at the Marlin Club in West Ocean City. The competition has grown since its inception. Eight boats participated in the first tournament, and in 2014 96 vessels carried 453 female anglers offshore. A total of $89,770 was paid out to the winners last year. “We’re expecting a large turnout,” Conley said. “We’d love to surpass or get 100 boats this year.” In 2014, tournament organizers and the Harman family presented a check for $65,000 to the American Cancer Society during the awards

banquet at the Ocean City Marlin Club. The total donated by the Harman family through the tournament and other events over the past seven years is more than $500,000. “I want to thank the Harman family for putting on such a great tournament,” Conley said. In 2004, the tournament was renamed to honor the founder of the event, the late Capt. Steve Harman. He and his wife, Pam, started the Poor Girls Open in 1994 to provide women with an opportunity to compete for prizes and money in a ladiesonly tournament, and to raise money for local charities. Harman died in February 2004, so organizers thought it was appropriate the tournament be renamed in his memory. The Open is the first event of the Pink Ribbon Classic at the Beach. Other events include a card, game and mahj party; tennis, mah jongg and golf tournaments; Jammin’ Out Cancer with live music at Seacrets, Brews for Boobs, scrapbooking and the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk and run. Most of the events will take place in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Pink Ribbon Classic Series was started in 1996 by a group of dedicated volunteers. Last year, more than $335,000 was raised for the American Cancer Society’s fight against breast cancer. Since its inception, the series has raised about $1.5 million for breast cancer research, awareness, programs and services. Some of the local programs and services available in this area include free wigs for patients; the Look Good Feel Better program, which teaches patients how to cope with the cosmetic side-effects of treatment; Reach to Recovery, a one-on-one support visitation program by trained breast cancer survivors for new patients; and Road to Recovery, which gives patients transportation to and from cancer treatments. There is also the Hope Lodge, which provides lodging during treatment; Patient Navigator Program, which helps with the health care system; Cancer Survivors Network and a 24-hour-a-day cancer information center. This year, 4,730 women in Maryland will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Across the country that number rises to 231,840, and an estimated 40,290 will die from the disease, according to the ACS. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women except for skin cancer, and is the second-leading cause of cancerous death in women.

The Green Doors moves from Snow Hill to West OC

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) The Green Doors recently relocated to West Ocean City, selling painted vintage furniture and locally handcrafted décor, jewelry and artwork in the Ocean Creek Plaza on Route 50. “Everything for sale is from a home-based business and mostly local to the state of Maryland,” Green Doors owner Ronna Pishtey said. “Several pieces are from the Eastern Shore, and it’s really cool to support local artists and their products. It’s hard to find a store that caters to local people.” Pishtey said the inventory constantly changes as furniture is sold and new pieces are brought in. She described the stock as, “anything you can think of,” including tables, dressers, buffets, candles, soap, purses, slip covers, paints and, currently, vintage chairs made out of waterskies. The Green Doors is also the only place artists can buy Annie Sloan Chalk Paint on the Eastern Shore. This specialty paint requires no sand-

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Recycled, reclaimed, repurposed. Whichever word you choose to use when describing the use of old materials in decorating, there are some tips to keep in mind. First and foremost, you should assume that any piece of reclaimed wood that is painted has lead-based paint. To remedy this and make the wood safe to use in any application, you could cut off any portion of the wood that is painted, remove the lead based paint, or you could coat to create a protective barrier, or in other words, encapsulate the lead-based paint. Lead-based paint is a health hazard because the dust chips and fumes can be ingested or inhaled. In 1978 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission limited the amount of lead allowed in paint. Any surface painted before that year has the potential to be a lead hazard. Encapsulating lead paint is a common way to prevent exposure to lead-based paint, because in many cases it is the least expensive, easiest route to take. Encapsulants are materials that are applied over lead-based paint to seal the paint to a surface and prevent the release of paint chips or dust. The material may be either a liquid or an adhesive. Encapsulation provides a barrier between the paint and the environment. There are three types of encapsulants: • Polymers (chemical compounds) that form a flexible, resilient membrane. They are applied with a brush, roller, or airless spray gun. • Epoxy or polyurethane polymers that form a membrane with a hard, but flexible, surface. They are applied with a brush, roller, or airless spray gun. • Cement-like materials with polymers that cure to form a thick coating. They are generally applied with a trowel. It is imporSee ENCAPSULANTS Page 46

Encapsulants cover lead paint so that the paint cannot produce dangerous dust, and humans cannot come into contact with it. Encapsulants work best on clean, dry and solid surfaces. But, encapsulants cannot be used on the following: • Surfaces that are walked on; • Surfaces that rub together; • Surfaces that are badly deteriorated (so some reclaimed materials may not be good candidates for encapsulation and would require complete removal of the lead paint) In addition, the only permanent solutions that do not require periodic maintenance and inspection include replacement or complete removal of lead paint.

Tax-free week on clothes and shoes starts this Sunday

(Aug. 7, 2015) Comptroller Peter Franchot is encouraging shoppers to take advantage of Maryland’s tax-free week which begins Sunday, Aug. 9, and runs through Saturday, Aug. 15. During that time, any single qualifying article of clothing or footwear priced $100 or less – regardless of how many purchased – will be exempt from the state’s six percent sales tax. “Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week is a great opportunity to get deals on backto-school clothes or to refresh a tired wardrobe,” Franchot said. “During these tough economic times, having a break from the six percent sales tax on shoes and clothing can make a real difference for families, enabling them to save more of their hard-earned money. Retailers also benefit with a boost in revenue. The savings can really add up for families, putting more money in their pockets.” “Back-to-school shopping is the second-biggest shopping season for retailers,” said Maryland Retailers Association spokesperson Tom Saquella. “Tax-Free Week has become a welcomed opportunity for consumers to save on clothing and footwear as they prepare for the new school year, and also for adults looking to buy something from the new fall clothing lines. Tax-Free Week is a wonderful gift provided every year to Maryland taxpayers and you can count on Maryland retailers to do their part with great sales and promotions.” Resulting from legislation passed in the 2007 special session of the Maryland General Assembly, a tax-free week will occur every year during the second week in August, until the legislature decides to revisit the issue. During this period, each qualifying article of clothing or footwear selling for $100 or less is exempt from sales tax, regardless of how many items are purchased at the same time. Businesses selling items that are not eligible for inclusion in the tax-free week can still participate in Shop Maryland. Under “Sellers Privilege,” other unqualified merchandise can be sold tax-free but the retailer is responsible for paying the sales tax owed to the state.

hat a busy week here in Ocean City! In case you are a vacationer that has just arrived let me tell you, it has been the week of the 42nd annual White Marlin Open. What is that exactly? One of the biggest billfish tournaments in the world that includes about 2,000 anglers hoping to win some of the estimated $3 million payout! That means that our resort town has played host to even more visitors than usual and while business is booming, traffic seems to continue to pile up. While the White Martin Open does wrap up on Friday, Aug. 7 there is still plenty to do this coming week in OCMD. I recently told you all about a new restaurant called Fat Fish OC that just opened its doors at 12703 Sunset Avenue in West Ocean City. Well, this week I had a chance to sit and chat with owner Joe Carlini about how the first few weeks of business have been. When I arrived the lunch crowd was spilling out the door and Carlini told me that is usually the case. He feels that the locals have really embraced Fat Fish in a way that has left him totally blown away. The Fat Fish sandwich, tacos and Loco Moco are already huge sellers and Carlini says that the customer response has left him feeling very blessed. Feedback is something that the staff at Fat Fish OC really does value so if and when you stop in, feel free to let them know your thoughts. Carlini also is in the process of planning Sunday special events that will include Cornhole, a pig barbecue and a screens will be set up outside for football fans to watch the Sunday Ticket. In the meantime, check out Fat Fish OC’s new website at www.fatfishoc.com. Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli, located on 63rd Street and Coastal Highway had its fourth Cars & Coffee meeting last Sunday and it was the best one to date. According to deli owner Warren Rosenfeld, there were fantastic cars, including a ‘69 Road Runner and a ‘94 Viper, lots of great people, and a porch full of happy diners on a beautiful Sunday morning. The next Cars & Coffee meeting is already scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 6 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. As usual, there is a lot going on in OC this coming week. While we are See CATE Page 51

The Worcester County Fair returns to Snow Hill this weekend with hundreds of livestock animals including pigs, goats, poultry and cows in addition to ribbons for artwork, corn, bean, grain and plant displays.

Worcester County Fair this wknd. Three-day event includes livestock shows, children’s contests and cake auction

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) The Worcester County Fair returns to Snow Hill this weekend with an assortment of activities for the entire family including a dozen contests for children, livestock shows, cake auction, a car show and free admission. “This fair is special because it is an old-fashioned country fair located on 12-shaded acres at Byrd Park in Snow Hill along the beautiful Pocomoke River,” said Susan Todd, Worcester County Fair board member, fundraising and publicity chairman. “Where nowadays, can you take your family to a place with free admission and free parking?” A county staple for about 50 years, the fair kicks off today, Friday, and continues through Sunday. Festivities begin with Youth STEM activities from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. followed by Worcester Celebrates Safe Kids Day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., which are two programs full of educational information for children. Children can check out hands-on activities from the University of

Maryland’s extension 4-H club including straw rockets, hovercrafts and stop rockets during the STEM activities and more than a dozen area vendors will be in attendance to teach children about seatbelt, bicycle, sun and electricity safety during Worcester Celebrates Safe Kids Day. “Various civic, law enforcement and county agencies will be on hand with free hand-outs for the kids and information for parents,” Todd said. Livestock judging begins at noon with more than 100 sheep, rabbits, swine and cows present for viewing on the fairgrounds. A new activity at the fair this year, Kid’s Mud Bog, is sure to become a favorite with participants 3 and up racing 12-volt power wheels around a track. Participants are encouraged to bring their own helmets and must weigh less than 60 pounds. “Sponsors bought the Power Wheels and donated them to the fair to be used year after year,” Todd said. “What kid doesn’t like to race and to get dirty?” The Kid’s Mud Bog will take place Friday and Saturday from 2:30-4:30 p.m. and Sunday, 12-2 p.m. In addition, children have the option to participate in sand art for a small fee on Friday and Saturday from 2-6 p.m. or on Sunday from 2-4

p.m. At 6:30 p.m., bidding starts at the benefit auction highlighted by the fair’s prize-winning cakes, helping offset the costs of putting on the event, Todd said. “This is a big event and one of the most popular,” Todd added. A children’s talent show takes place at 7 p.m., where different types of amateur entertainers compete for cash prizes. The fairgrounds close at 8 p.m. The fun begins again Saturday at 10 a.m. with a new event for dog lovers, the FastFetch Cup (Delmarva Unleashed). The fetch competition with a timed component is open to all dogs with two categories. The small dog category is for pooches 35 pounds and smaller. The large dog category is for canines 35 pounds and larger. The FastFetch Cup will take place from 10 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. on Saturday with the top two winners from each heat invited to compete in a finals competition taking place Oct. 3 at Frontier Town in West Ocean City. To register, stop by the Delmarva Unleashed booth or visit www.PoochPalooza.com. In addition, the fair opens up Saturday to a country costume parade See OLD-FASHIONED Page 50

Belgian waffles but don’t let the fact that breakfast is served all day fool you, the burgers and chicken tenders are equally great. If you manage to finish the Decatur Diner’s infamous Pipeline Burger then you’ll end up on the wall of fame. Decatur Diner is also conveniently located right on the way out to the very popular Assateague Island. If you call ahead then you can easily pick up food to take out to the beach with you. That Bacon Place, located at 12614 Ocean Gateway in West Ocean City just opened a few months ago and already has one of the best take-out menu’s in town. The sausage sandwiches are delicious and let’s face it, everything is better with bacon, isn’t it? The Greene Turtle on Route 611 in West Ocean City may been voted OC’s Best Burgers but it also has ribs, fresh salads, steak and a kids menu. I stopped in earlier this week and I have to admit, I had forgotten how delicious the macaroni and cheese is! Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 4-7 p.m. and there are nightly drink specials. The environment is friendly and several nights a week Greene Turtle West offers up live entertainment from local artists. Piaza, located at 11436 Samuel Bowen Blvd. in front of the Walmart on Route 50 is a convenient stop to make if you are on the go and need a quick, healthy meal. Piaza’s popular pizzas are made to order and cooked right in front of you in a 1,000-degree brick oven in just three minutes flat. Piaza owner, David Crocetti tells me how thrilled he is that word of the delicious food is finally spreading. Piaza is very appreciative that the local community supports the shop and he will certainly give back when an opportunity arises. Crocetti says that they are testing new pizzas now like a shrimp scampi and other delicious Italian classics, so stay tuned for an updated menu soon! Check out Piaza’s website at www.piazafresh.com for the full menu. If you drive a little further on Route 50 then you will find yourself in historic Berlin, officially named “America’s Coolest Small Town” in 2014. Not only is Main Street considered the antique capitol of the Eastern Shore, but it also features several specialty shops that are really worth checking out. You’ll also find some really great restaurants, a wine bar and a few coffee shops all within walking distance. Check out www.berlinmainstreet.com for more information on this great little town and all that it has to offer. That’s just a little bit of what’s happening here in OCMD this coming week.

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Artists have already begun to create masterpieces during the Art League of Ocean City’s 10th annual plein air event, “Artists Paint OC.” Plein air, a French expression for “in the open air” is the skill of painting outdoors, directly from life. The four-day event features 50 plein air artists as they set up at scenic sites throughout the resort from Aug. 6-9 and compete for prizes. Hundreds of spectators gather to watch artwork come to life and others are inspired to create paintings of their own. “It’s neat …[it’s] the White Marlin [Open] competition of paintings, which features artists specializing in different mediums and come from all around the country to paint,” said Rina Thaler, executive director of the Art League of Ocean City. “Local people join in for the camaraderie and it has a great energy to it.” The event kicked off yesterday with painting from 9 a.m. until dusk. On Friday, participants start painting at 9 a.m. and will employ a variety of methods such as oils, watercolors,

pastels, oil acrylics and graphite pencil. Artists are likely to be found in favorite locations on the beach, near the bays and marshes or on the Boardwalk. Saturday’s events will start with a chance to paint from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and then registered artists will return to the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street to hang their completed artwork for the competition. Judging will begin at 5 p.m. and the pieces will be on display at the Art League headquarters until Aug. 31. In addition, each artist will choose another work to be displayed in the classrooms for sale. “There is a lot of excitement with artists coming in from the field,” Thaler said. “You see where they have been on the Boardwalk, bays, beaches, Seacrets, Fager’s, Macky’s, the harbor in West Ocean City or Assateague. It’s neat to see what parts of Ocean City they captured.” From 6-8 p.m., the public is invited to attend the “Wet Paint Sale,” meet the artists and to purchase paintings. “The local and nationally acclaimed artists hang their artwork on screens in the rooms and it’s all in the moment,” Thaler said. “Attendees can See OCDC Page 60

The awards ceremony is set for 6:30 p.m. at which time $1,825 in prize money will be divided between first, second, third place and three honorable mentions. Thaler encouraged people to come out and support the artists by buying their work. “There will be a couple hundred original pieces to choose,” Thaler said. “You will have it forever and it shows why people love Ocean City with unique lasting memories captured.” Painter and participant in this year’s competitions, Brigette Bowden, echoed Thaler. “It’s wonderful that people support artists by buying work and it’s personal for each artist… showing the love of art and scenery,” Bowden said. “It’s a rare opportunity for people to buy artwork they will have for a long time and enjoy it.” Bowden, of Salisbury, has participated four years in the past and her daughter, Monica Forrester, an art teacher at Pocomoke Middle School, will be joining her this weekend. “I talked her into it. She went with me last year and did a wonderful watercolor,” Bowden said. “I told her she had to participate this year.” In the past, Bowden has painted waterways off of Route 90, on the beach and the bay near BJ’s on the Water on 75th Street. “I like painting outdoors and competing in an Ocean City event is an extra challenge,” Bowden said. “It’s tough to create work in a short amount of time. You get to meet artists from different places, see new and old faces, it’s exciting.” Second-year participant, Bruno Baran of Northhampton, Md., painted at the inlet, on the beach and loves painting at night. “I have a vision in my mind to do an early evening depiction of the marshes with fireflies,” Baran said. Ocean City is a contrast to his usual plein air painting venues and Baran is

excited to be back at the beach. Dennis Young, of New Castle, Del. has participated the last four years and won a couple of awards using pastels and oil paints. “Everything else is cleared to the side for Ocean City and my plein air weekend,” Young said. “It’s returning home for me when I come back to Ocean City and I always have a good time.” Young enjoys when people stop to chat and watch as he paints local scenes. In the past, he has painted and won awards for works completed of the Kite Loft. In addition, he has painted the tackle shop by the inlet, the amusement park on the Boardwalk, Fager’s Island and the Life-Saving Station Museum. This year, he plans to switch it up and head down to the marina in West Ocean City. In addition, the Ocean City Development Corporation is sponsoring a timed “Quick Draw” competition on South Division Street from 9-11 a.m. Sunday morning. The first-place artist will take home $300, the second-place finisher will receive $150 and the third-place winner will earn $50. In addition, the top three paintings will join the plein air competition paintings on display at the Ocean City Art League until the end of August. “The Quick Draw competition is a great way for spectators to see artists complete a painting right before their eyes,” said Glenn Irwin, executive director of the OCDC. “It’s interesting to see an artist’s interpretation of a street scene or specific object in such a short time frame. The downtown area of Ocean City and its Boardwalk provide many opportunities for such artistic expression.” Kathy Gibson of Ocean Pines was the first-place winner in the plein air competition last year and she will be back to compete in the Quick Draw on Sunday. “This event is such an asset to Ocean City, with artists bringing such See ARTWORK Page 64

She was always intrigued with the scenery during early morning or late afternoon drives when the sun would hit the trees. During the Quick Draw competition, Gibson is keeping her options open on what or where she will paint, but did mention the Life-Saving Station Museum. “The public should come out and see artwork that tells stories of locations they may have missed or are not as familiar,” Gibson said. “The artists engage the public with their viewpoint of Ocean City.” Participants can register on site Sunday from 7:30-8:30 a.m. for $15, stop by the Art League on 94th Street or online at www.artleagueofoceancity.org. Judging will begin at 11:30 a.m. and another Wet Paint Sale will take place at the Ocean City Center for the Arts from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. giving visitors another opportunity to purchase original artwork of local scenes. “There is nothing like this in Ocean City,” Thaler said. “Enthusiasm and enjoyment of the town will be captured on canvas by more than 50 artists.” Although the event has taken place since 2006, Thaler said the last four years have taken off, with artists flying in from Indiana and Chicago this year. Others are visiting for the first time. “Plein air painting caught on in recent years, with artists coming into the field to paint and it’s become a spectator sport as well,” Thaler said. “Being outside has become a movement in

Locations are spontaneous for Menke, but she loves the beach. “What better place to paint then at the beach? I am happy and excited to come back,” Menke said. Last year, Menke painted an early morning scene on the beach with umbrellas and a canal with a park near the Art League headquarters.

Veggie parmigiana twist on classic eggplant entrée

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Entertaining is an art that showcases talent, style and point of view. Every detail must be given the utmost consideration; the philosophy of specifics distinguishes brilliance from excellence. When planning a special occasion, chances are at least one guest will be vegetarian. Planning a menu that pleases meat-eaters, vegans and vegetarians alike can be quite challenging. Time is of the essence and coming up with a delicious vegetarian dish that will satisfy all palettes is an ideal option. The hot, steamy summer

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Use eggplant, zucchini and squash for dish months is the perfect season to forgo a meat course. If this is one’s purpose intended, creativity must come to the forefront. Gardens and farmer’s markets are overflowing with zucchini and squash. The freshness of the vegetables and the low prices makes them irresistible. Eggplant is also in abundance and completes the trinity of goodness. Veggie parmigiana is a delectable twist on the classic eggplant parmigiana. Fried squash, zucchini and eggplant infused with homemade marinara and fresh basil is a delight to one’s senses. Homemade marinara is always the preferred choice, but store bought sauce can be substituted if desired. Innovativeness is a sure way to wow guests no matter their personal tastes. Veggie parmigiana falls into this category and is an enchanting bouquet of flavors and textures. Vegans, vegetarians and meat-lovers alike will give rave reviews to veggie parmigiana. Enjoy! Veggie Parmigiana The Sauce (optional) ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 medium onions, finely chopped 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 28-ounce good quality can crushed tomatoes 1 28-ounce good quality can whole tomatoes; drained, seeded, ends removed and chopped 3 teaspoons dried basil 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes 2 bay leaves kosher salt to taste few pinches baking soda 1. In a large sauté pan, heat live oil over medium heat and sauté until vegetables become translucent. Add the rest of the ingredients, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Veggies Parmigiana 2 ½ pounds total of thinly sliced eggplant, squash and zucchini ½ cup all-purpose flour kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 5 large eggs 3 tablespoons whole milk 2 cups Italian style bread crumbs 2 cups Italian style panko bread crumbs 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried thyme 1 tablespoon Herbs de Province canola oil for frying 1 ½ pounds mozzarella cheese, grated ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano 1 pound provolone, grated 2 handfuls fresh basil; leaves only and coarsely chopped 1. Place slices of eggplant on a baking sheet. Salt generously and allow it to sit for 1 hour. The vegetables will start to sweat; this process draws out

the unwanted bitterness of the eggplant. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. 2. Combine cheeses and mix well. 3. Put the flour in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine Italianstyle breadcrumbs, Italian style panko bread crumbs, oregano, thyme, Herbs de Province, salt, and pepper. 4. Dip each slice of eggplant, squash and zucchini one at a time in the flour and shake off any excess. Then, dip in egg mixture and finally in the seasoned bread crumb mixture. Press the slices of vegetables gently but firmly in the seasoned bread crumb mixture to get an even coating. Repeat this procedure for

both sides of the eggplant, squash and zucchini. Arrange the vegetables in single layers on baking sheets. 5. In a large cast-iron skillet, pour enough oil to cover the slices of coated vegetables. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the oil starts to smoke. Using a pair of tongs, carefully lower each slice one at a time into the oil; be careful not to crowd the pan. Fry vegetables on each side until golden brown. Remove cooked vegetables from the pan, place on a cooling rack and season with salt. 6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 7. To assemble: In a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, spoon about 1/3 of the tomato sauce on the bottom. Top with a layer of zucchini. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese mixture and a layer

of fresh basil. Spoon another 1/3 layer of sauce, add a layer of fried squash, another 1/3 of cheese and fresh basil. The final layer should consist of tomato sauce, fried eggplant and the remaining cheese. Carefully press down on the layers once it has been assembled. 8. Place the dish in the top part of the oven and cook 35 to 40 minutes, the cheese should not only be melted but also bubbly. Put the dish under the broiler for a minute or two to get the top layer of cheese extra brown. Remove form oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Hot, humid temps, rougher ocean conditions in August

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) It is hard to believe August is here. So far this summer we have enjoyed some very pleasant beach days with very little humidity. August typically brings hot, humid temperatures and rougher ocean conditions as tropical storm activity gets more prevalent. As the Atlantic Basin experiences more storm activity, it will begin to push larger more frequent waves onto our beaches. With this activity, rip currents, shore break, and what some people refer to as “great bodyboarding waves” develop and have the potential to create dangerous situations for swimmers. People who are unaware of the ocean’s power and swiftly changing movements can suddenly find themselves in trouble without realizing it. Swimmers who overestimate their abilities while underestimating the power of the ocean and its waves and currents, may be in for an unpleasant lifealtering experience. The crushing power of a ton of water in the form of a wave can cause serious

or fatal bone and joint injuries. In addition to our slogan, “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard is in the stand” we recommend that beach patrons introduce themselves and their children to the Surf Rescue Technician on duty and ask about the current water conditions for the day. The lifeguards are happy to answer any questions. They have information about potential hazards that you should be aware of. Your SRT may even gather everyone on their beach around their stand for a safety talk to make sure you are aware of constantly changing conditions. However, if an unfortunate accident should happen, SRTs are well prepared to handle any emergency. Although broken ankles, dislocated shoulders, concussions and cracked ribs are not uncommon injuries for active people, the most serious of these involve head, neck and back injuries. Most people are aware that on land it is always best not to move a person who may have a back injury. However, in the ocean the movement of the waves makes leaving the victim in the surf, to possibly sustain more injuries, not an option and if they are unconscious or immobile may create a drowning situSee OCBP Page 69

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) The Princess Royale’s Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club hosts two comedians six nights a week at 9 p.m. until the end of summer. The Jersey boy duo open up about crazy childhoods, marriages, touch on cultural topics and tell stories about struggles in life during a 90-minute or longer show, which all depends on the audiMike Green ence, said Johnny Watson, who is performing alongside Mike Green for their first summer together at the 91st Street hotel. “We don’t really know. If everyone is having a good time and not tired, we will keep it going for another half an hour,” he added. The comedy show begins with a joke-off where audience memJohnny Watson bers come on stage to deliver their best joke. A T-shirt and free drink is given to the winner chosen by attendees as the funniest jokester of the night. “It’s pretty unique and gets everyone involved from the beginning,” Watson said. “All it takes is one person and then it’s a flood gate of people. Audience members get an idea of what it’s like on stage and I like to see their reactions.” The shows are geared toward adults with some of its content containing topics on dating and divorce, a womanizing father, conversation filth and swearing. “Get out for 90 minutes, leave everything at the door, relax and you are guaranteed a nice laugh,” Green said. “Laughter is infectious, you’re coming to a show that provides good live entertainment and attendees will have enjoyment all evening long.” The Jersey boys are no strangers to the comedic world and have both per-

formed in all 50 states for more than a decade. Watson has been performing for 13 years and gained confidence through his grandmother’s influence. “When I was little we would watch television with comedians and she would always say I was funnier,” he added. “Being a terrible student, I was always using humor to get away from responsibility.” Growing up in a self-described dysfunctional family are the punchlines to many jokes including being a poor white kid in a Hispanic neighborhood with a delusional mother. In addition, Watson was married for a brief time to a woman he met three months prior. “My acts are mostly about my struggles in life and the emotions that come along with it,” Watson said. “We are idiots, baring our souls for your entertainment.” Green, who has been entertaining audiences for nearly 20 years, took a break and has now jumped back into it. “There is humor in many different areas and as I get older my mind has changed on certain things. More than a couple topics aggravate me now,” Green said. “Audiences will mostly hear about silly stuff about my life.” Comedy shows run every night except Sunday, starting at 9 p.m. in the Palmetto Room of the Princess Royale Hotel on 91st Street. Tickets cost $15 per person with two sodas included or $20 with two alcoholic drinks included. The Princess Royale offers a seafood buffet in Schooners Oceanfront restaurant with a couple’s package including two seafood buffets, two tickets to the show and two drinks per person for $89 per couple. Diners are asked to arrive to the buffet no later than 7:30 p.m. The shows lasts roughly an hour and a half and will run through Sept. 6. Though children won’t be turned away, the show contains adult content with a suggested age of 16 and over. For more information, call 410723-4242.

ON GUARD

OCBP: Use proper technique for riding waves Continued from Page 67 ation. A quick and controlled removal is critical but putting victims on backboards while in the surf can actually cause more damage. Beach patrol guards are taught how to effectively and carefully extract victims from the surf who may have sustained an injury to the head, neck or back. Guards work as a team to carry a victim to safety while minimizing movement to the head, neck and back. The beach patrol has collaborated with medical professionals to modify a technique of removing victims with suspected neck or back injuries out of deep and or shallow water. The technique has been refined over many years of training and usage from its introduction as a technique devel-

oped in Hawaii. The modified technique is unique to the OCBP, but was developed with input from the medical community and emergency providers. It has been approved by the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services as a state standard with the Ocean City Beach Patrol as the only organization that is certified to teach other first responders and organizations in this victim removal technique. Because of our experience and expertise in this area we have been asked by beach patrols as far away as Brazil to share our training materials and have been featured presenters at several statewide Emergency Medical Services symposiums as well as on nationally televised news shows. As we network with other beach patrols around the world, we all agree that

the most common culprit of neck injuries results from swimmers that are bodysurfing or bodyboarding incorrectly or in unsafe conditions. To make sure you don’t experience our extraction technique first hand, make sure you use the proper technique for riding waves. The safest method is to get in front of the wave so it is pushing you out in front and finish your ride before running out of water. Bodyboarding on the top of a breaking wave may cause you to be propelled to the ocean floor. To prevent this, stay on the rear half of the board and if you need to bailout, go off the back of the board. The proper way to body surf a wave is to have your hands out in front of your body; this allows for more control of movement in the water. The most dangerous condi-

tion exists when we are experiencing shore break. Shore break occurs when waves continue to build and crash with full force on the shore with little or no water depth. When unsuspecting victims find themselves on a breaking wave and they are being thrown into shallow water they have set themselves up for a tragedy. Never ride a wave during shore break conditions or play in the impact zone (where the wave is breaking with its full force). Although education and prevention are the primary focus of the beach patrol mission, SRTs are well trained and prepared to handle severe neck and back injuries. If they find a victim unconscious and the injury is unknown, the SRTs are trained to treat any unSee BE Page 70

ON GUARD

Be aware of possible dangers Continued from Page 69 known injury as a suspected neck-back injury. Lifeguards will often be alerted to beach patrons with facial abrasions from hitting their head on the ocean bottom. Sometimes people will come up to the guard and tell them they feel tingling after being slammed by a wave. Beach patrol protocol requires, the guards treat these situations as if the victim had a neck or back injury. Being aware of the dangers that could occur in the ocean is the first step

to prevention. Diving or doing flips in shallow water as well as riding waves that are breaking on the beach could lead to serious injuries or death. Always check the depth of the water with your feet by wading out rather than diving into unknown water. Never underestimate the power of the ocean, keep yourself and your loved ones safe by always checking with the SRT on duty about daily surf conditions at your beach. We are glad you are here and we want to help you stay safe.

Parade of motorcycles will kick off OC BikeFest in Sept.

(Aug. 7, 2015) For the first time in the five-year history of OC BikeFest, a parade of motorcycles will kickoff the event on Thursday, Sept. 17. “Over 350 motorcycles rolling down the Boardwalk, from 27th Street right into the inlet parking lot is the only way to start the fifth anniversary celebration of this incredible event,” said Kathy Micheal, owner and producer of OC BikeFest, held Sept. 17-20. Motorcycle owners will start their engines at 10:30 a.m. and travel south on the Boardwalk, going east, around

Jolly Roger at the Pier, and ending in the inlet parking lot. Participants of the parade were invited based on the first people to purchase online tickets to the inlet event. The gates to OC BikeFest at the inlet will open at 11 a.m. The inlet location is the only ticketed venue and is where the main concerts are held. Advanced tickets are on sale now at OCBikefest.com and DelmarvaBikeWeek.com, and at participating Rommel Harley-Davidson locations and Rommel’s Ace Hardware stores.

This summer, the tour will also feature Shane Fontayne (guitar, vocals) who will be accompanying Nash on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to an evening of music, stretching back 50 years, and coming round to today with all itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings and problems,â&#x20AC;? said

Nash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A splendid time is guaranteed for all.â&#x20AC;? Nash will continue his long-time tradition of raising money for charity through the Guacamole Fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special benefit seats; in addition, he will be donating $1 per ticket sold to charity. While continually building his musical legacy, Nash is also an internationally renowned photographer and visual artist whose work has been shown in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Smithsonian. Born in Blackpool, England, Nash was appointed OBE by Queen Elizabeth in 2010. Nash has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

two-times (for CSN & The Hollies), and is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (as an individual and with CSN). In May 2013, he received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lesley University. His autobiography, Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life, was released on Sept. 17, 2013 by Crown Archetype/Random House, and landed him on the New York Times Best-Sellers list.

Worcester County students participate in STEM Camp Continued from Page 75 Community Center director Fawn Mete partnered with NASA Wallops Island house robotics Team Titanium Wrecks, Peter Bale of the Eastern Shore Defense Alliance and Washington D.C.-based Studio Codeworks to plan a hands-on camp curriculum that would expose campers to a variety of STEM careers and applications in computer science and aerospace engineering. Campers started by learning the basics of coding and how to think like a computer. Ryan Mete, a programmer for Studio Codeworks, then taught them how to write code from scratch to design and program their own video games. Campers invented their own characters, or “sprites,” which were then digitally rendered as graphics for their games by Salisbury University adjunct art faculty member Evan Fitzgerald. The campers then learned the basics of electronics and used their knowledge to design and construct their own working prototype game controllers to use with their games. Team Titanium Wrecks joined in the action with its globally acclaimed FIRST robotics competition bot, demonstrating robotics applications, building line-tracking robots with the campers, programming with Rasp-

berry Pi, constructing human hovercrafts and building SEAPERCH submersible robots. Campers visited the Ocean Pines Sports Core pool and constructed the robots then navigated an underwater maze. The two best submersible robots were donated to the Ocean Pines aquatics program for use in swimming lessons for children with special needs. Peter Bale of the Eastern Shore Defense Alliance visited camp to introduce campers to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or drones. Campers practiced navigating drones and completed a search and recovery challenge using the devices. The final camp activity, a simulated space mission inspired by NASA’s famous Space Academy in Huntsville, Ala., was conducted by Fawn Mete and Alex Haglich. The campers worked in teams as Mission Control and as astronauts on a spacewalk to perform weightless construction underwater in the pool, which simulates a zero gravity environment in which astronauts make repairs to satellites, telescopes or the International Space Station. For information, contact WCED Deputy Director Merry Mears at 410632-3112 or mmears@co.worcester.md.us, or Mete at fawn@reddoors.org or 410-289-5576.

Author hopes to help entrepreneurs

By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 7, 2015) Half of all new business ventures fail within five years, mostly due to lack of experience, which is why Paul Silverman decided to write, “8 Building Blocks to Launch, Manage, and Grow a Successful Business,” to help aspiring entrepreneurs with essential guidelines and information he has uncovered throughout four decades in the corporate world. “I believe it provides education in areas you wouldn’t normally learn and a lot of information from different books into one,” Silverman said. “It’s focused on starting a business for success, not just how to start, but how to succeed and survive for more than five years.” Part-time Ocean Pines resident Silverman believes most literature lays out entrepreneur management start of business knowledge and provides a basic baseline on how to employ a vigorous approach, which is great, but is not meeting today’s market and technology challenges. “Learning from a couple Fortune

Local ‘Float for the Coast’ rally slated for Friday, Aug. 14

(Aug. 7, 2015) Earlier this year, hundreds of “kayaktivists” took to the water in Seattle to protest Shell’s oil drilling in the Arctic. Just last week, a similar on the water – and from the bridge – gathering kept a drilling rig supply ship from leaving for the Arctic from Portland. In light of the pending proposal to open the Mid-Atlantic to offshore drilling and other threats to water quality, local environmental groups are looking to bring some of that kayaktivist energy to Ocean City. On Friday, Aug. 14, Assateague Coastal Trust is partnering with Waterkeeper Alliance, Waterkeepers Chesapeake and others for “Float for the Coast,” an on-the-water rally in support of clean water. The Float will be part celebration to embrace the water quality protections that allow thousands of locals and visitors alike to recreate safely in the Coastal Bays. It will also be part demonstration to educate and raise awareness about the ongoing and looming threats to the fragile coastal waters. There are no plans to block boats or hang from bridges, however. The event will feature a gathering of water craft of all shapes and sizes manned by representatives of regional waterkeeper programs, allied organizations and the clean water loving public that will paddle (or motor) to convene for a group celebration on Isle of Wight Bay just offshore from the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street where the Maryland Association of Counties will be holding its See FLOAT Page 78

500 companies, adding in the technology information and my experiences can help improve the survival rate,” Silverman said. In “8 Building Blocks to Launch, Manage, and Grow a Successful Business,” Silverman breaks down entrepreneurial management skills into categories to help ensure businesses succeed within the five critical Paul Silverman years most fail. His most important strategy is for new business owners to understand what type of model they intend to follow, using examples such as Walmart and Nordstrom. If business owners are following Walmart fundamentals, being a low cost provider is most important, whereas a

Nordstrom model is focused on being a quality provider, Silverman said. “When starting up a new business, look at the plan and reinforce quality distinction,” he added. “It starts at the beginning to maintain long-term strategies.” Additionally, differentiating between business ideas or opportunities, creating value for the company and investors, financial projections, the competition, a concrete business plan, growth and structure are all explained by Silverman in his book to help entrepreneurs. Silverman is “on an entrepreneurial mission” to help educate and hopefully restructure the current programs at universities for future business owners. He plans to bridge local governments and universities with the business community. “Entrepreneurship is the drive of

regional economic growth,” Silverman said. “We are missing an opportunity to drive the economy and help make more companies.” Silverman’s 225 page book, “8 Building Blocks to Launch, Manage and Grow a Successful Business,” was published on July 3 and is available on amazon.com for $14.95 in paperback and $6.95 on Kindle.

facing this fragile resource.â&#x20AC;? The Float for the Coast will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Fish Tales Bar and Grill/Bahia Marina located bayside on 22nd street in Ocean City. The rally will convene at noon in Isle of Wight bay adjacent to the convention center. Once assembled, participants will hear from several speakers, including David Helvarg, executive director of Blue Frontier. Helvarg is also an award-winning journalist who has produced more than 40 broadcast documentaries for PBS, The Discovery Channel, and others, is editor of the

Ocean and Coastal Conservation Guide, and organizer of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Visionâ&#x20AC;? Summits for ocean activists and the Peter Benchley Ocean Awards. Once the rally concludes, participants will make their way back to Bahia Marina, where all will be welcome to refresh themselves at a happy hour sponsored by Sweetwater Brewing at Fish Tales. The public is encouraged to join in the Float for free by bringing their kayak, standup paddleboard, canoe or any legal watercraft to the official launch site (or to an appropriate site of

their choice) and enjoy a few hours on the bay while learning about some of the challenges facing local waterways. ACT will have a limited number of loaner kayaks available for those who wish to participate but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to their own boat. The public is strongly encouraged to register online in advance for the event at www.actforbays.org to ensure they get a free commemorative T-shirt, and especially if they need to borrow one of the limited loaner kayaks.

Commentary

County smart to get help on solar

The Worcester County Commissioners did the reasonable thing Tuesday, when they voted to accept the recommendation of their staff advisers that they hire a consulting firm to help them review bids for their solar power purchase agreement. Why so much debate preceded that 4-3 vote is a bigger mystery than whatever details might exist in the complex business of producing energy from the sun. The cost of the consultant is $6,000, which could hardly be considered a deal breaker in the budgetary scheme of things. Moreover, some of the best people the county has in its employ agreed that bringing in expert help could save government significant money. This would be as opposed to having the staff wing it and do the best they could. In other words, you wouldn’t hire an accountant to work on your car even though he was on retainer. While it’s always good to watch expenditures, there are times when spending a little can save a lot, which should be the case if the solar power plan works the way it’s being pitched. The company that the county selects would be expected to supply its facilities with about 25 percent of their annual electricity needs at a cost far below that of conventionally produced power. At the same time, the county can negotiate issues such as its liability and potential financial risk if things didn’t turn out as promised. In addition, the county could argue for a clause awarding it damages should the winning bidder not deliver. This is the kind of arrangement that requires little thought to say “yes” to, even though getting the right kind of contractual package between government and the private supplier will be complicated and will require counsel from people who are experienced in this sort of thing. The staff said that very thing repeatedly and on Tuesday a majority of the commissioners finally agreed. Good for these county staffers for standing fast and not risking their own credibility by becoming immersed in a major project about which they know little.

Powerful and tasty

Now that President Obama has proposed tough clean air standards that would cork smokestack emissions from coal-fired power plants, it has occurred to me that we continue to overlook an excellent source of clean energy. I know many people are already thinking along with me – "Saaaaaay, what about potato batteries?" As every fourth grader knows – unless they've changed the curriculum in recent years because the By Friends of Vegetables are Stewart posting exaggerated stories about defenseless finDobson online gerlings being abducted and probed – you can make a battery out of the ever-ready spud. Here are the facts: a potato battery created by sticking copper and zinc rods in your routine russet can produce 1.2 to 1.5 volts of electricity. And toxic emissions? All I know is that I've never heard anyone say, "Wooooo, it must be the potatoes." Clean energy advocates on the other side of this debate will, of course, contend that wind farming is the better option. Personally, I’m getting a little tired of certain things being farmed. The next thing you know, you’ll get a wind power electric bill that will contain this disclaimer: "Farm-raised wind, product of Thailand.” You think I'm kidding, but two years ago scientists from Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that you can boost potatoes' voltage by up to 50 times by boiling them first, which could mean, now that I

think about it, perfectly legal high-powered Personal Protection Potatoes that would zap potential assailants into the darkest regions of the netherworld. “I know what you’re thinking punk. Did he boil that potato or didn’t he? … being this is a big Yukon Gold, the most powerful potato in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?” They say this tubercharging, as it were, raises all kinds of other possibilities, including lighting up less fortunate or under-developed countries (we used to call them Third World nations, but then someone had to go and ask, "OK, who's in the Second World?). In any case, if their spud theories are correct (as opposed to half-baked), this rediscovered potato power could spark an energy revolution. After all, if we can produce ridiculously bad gasoline with corn, why not give potatoes a try? The worst that could happen is that we end up making vodka and drinking until it's lights out. Although we would have to be careful that certain radical states wouldn't attempt to develop weapons-grade mashers, there are any number of ways peaceful potato processes might be applied: spud-powered electric cars (the Ferrari Tuberossa comes to mind), highconductivity potato chips for computers, the aforementioned tater Tasers (or Taser tots, depending) and cheap power for the home. "Enclosed is your incredibly inexpensive monthly electricity bill and recipe guide. As we like to say here at Consolidated Comestibles and Power, "Wham Bam, Thank You, Yam."

Letters to the editor Sprinkler issue

Editor, I had the opportunity to read your July 30, 2015 article “Sprinklers, and added cost, now universal in Maryland.” I am writing you at this time to provide another side to the story. Residential sprinklers are life-saving systems not only for the occupants, but for our firefighters. The current fire dynamics within a home these days has changed dramatically, thus the need to provide the necessary protection of the occupants. The cost for installing fire sprinklers in new homes continues to decline in Maryland and across the country. The current national average cost to sprinkler a new home is $1.35 per sprinkled square foot, which does not include the garage, attic, and small closets, as they are not required. Homes that are not supplied by a domestic water system may incur an additional cost of approximately $2,500 for a pump and water tank. The current average cost to sprinkler a new home in Maryland is $1 to $2 a square foot. The figure quoted in your article of the cost of a system of $15,000 would be appropriate for a new home of 10,000 square feet. According to the national Census Bureau, the average

home, built in 2013, was approximately 2,600 square feet. To date we have lost 35 individuals in the state, due to the ravages of fires. In 2014, we saw 64 individuals lose their lives to fires across the state. Most of those were our vulnerable populations, to include the very young, elderly, and physically impaired. The data reveals that these individuals are dying from fires inside their homes. Residential fire sprinkler systems do save lives, and not one person has died from a fire in a sprinklered home or building in the state of Maryland. We have seen, in Maryland and across the country, more individuals that are dying in home fires with a working smoke alarm, but lacking fire sprinklers. In the last five years, 77 individuals died in home fires where the smoke alarm was present and working. Modern construction practices, open spaces and synthetic furnishings have dramatically reduced safe evacuation times for residential structures. The time between an operating smoke alarm and the onset of untenable conditions are becoming shorter. As I have already noted, those that need more time to escape clearly need the extra protection provided by a residential sprinkler system. These life-saving systems not only save the lives of the

residents, but of our firefighters as well. Brian S. Geraci, State Fire Marshal

Gun free zones

Editor, In the news lately a story was reported about shootings in two military recruiting centers, where military personnel are not allowed to be armed, where a Navy Lt. Cmdr. used his personal weapon to fend off the attacker. Because of the Department of Defense (D.O.D.) regulations regarding nonallowance of weapons at these sites, this officer is possibly going to be prosecuted for his actions. This story started me thinking about the Gun Free School Zones Act. Who originated the idea, when was it passed into law and has it proved to be a benefit to people within the zoned areas? The bill was introduced in the Senate (S. 3266) by Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) on Oct.27, 1990. It passed in the Senate by a voice vote and in the House by a roll call vote (313-1) on the same day. On November 29 of that year President George H. W. Bush signed it into law. In a legal action (United States vs. Lopez in 1995) the Supreme Court held that the Act was an unconstitutional exercise of congressional authority under the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. Since that date there have been numerous convictions and some overturned actions regarding the revised Gun Free Zone School Act. The important thing to understand, however, is that the Crime Prevention

Research Center (CPRC) released a report in October 2014 showing that 92 percent of mass public shootings between January 2009 and July 2014 took place in gun-free zones. This finding is disturbing and, although the idea may have had good intentions, the report proves otherwise. I think it's time to reconsider and appeal or rescind this law. It's obviously putting private citizens in these areas in harm’s way. Paul St. Andre, Ocean City

Expand smoking ban

Editor, Last month my fiancé and I went to a downtown Ocean City bar and found a seat outside to enjoy a cocktail with the smell of the ocean breeze. However, we wound up leaving when three patrons lit cigarettes. I was told that it's up to the individual businesses to decide whether or not to allow smoking in outdoor seating areas. I'm concerned that, with the smoking ban on the beach and Boardwalk, outdoor seating areas in bars and restaurants could become smoking havens. This would eliminate the simple pleasure of having a meal or a cocktail outside while enjoying the fresh ocean air. Ideally, I would like to see the Clean Air Act of 2007 amended to include outdoor seating areas. In the meantime, it would be nice if local businesses did the right thing and banned smoking in all seating areas, both indoor and outdoor. Ken Stratemeyer, Baltimore
