Suggested drone regs won’t fly Police commission told federal rules take precedence over local enforcement efforts
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) While the Federal Aviation Administration has fine-tuned its drone regulations, it also has relaxed several requirements, including who can legally fly one — and where. After examining the federal rules that will roll out on Aug. 29, local law enforcement officials reported to the Police Commission that the crucial policy change in which a
license would be required to fly a drone. “It clearly defines what kind of license and regulatory authority has over drones,” Capt. Mike Colbert said on Monday. “They do have to have a drone operator license, which is less than a what a pilot would need for an airplane, but it’s more than a guy going down to Walmart and picking up a $1,100 drone kit. Hobbyists who don’t use their aircraft for commercial purposes, however, need no license, according to the new FAA regulations, although they must abide by all other rules. See OCPD Page 7
Elusive obstacle in channel remains mystery
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) The Coast Guard issued an advisory earlier this week to boat captains and anglers in town for the annual White Marlin Open after multiple reports of vessels
striking a large sunken obstacle. On Monday, U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer First Class Larry Johnson said the Maryland State Police Dive Team attempted to locate the obstacle thought to be floating beneath the surface in the east channel
between the Route 50 Bridge and Harbour Island. “They plan is to see if they can find it,” he said. “If they do find it, they will re-float it. They call it ‘bagging it.’” See UNKNOWN Page 11
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Exposed as it is to all sorts of weather, Ocean City appreciates what can happen when these elements turn against it, and that’s why it has sent help to Ellicott City, where flash floods on July 30 claimed the lives of two people and wiped out the city’s historic district. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a rain gauge maintained by Howard County near Ellicott City recorded nearly six inches of rainfall in a twohour period preceding that night’s flood. ‘Our time is going J o e to come and we Theobald, want to make sure Ocean City we help our emergency services direc- neighbor because tor, said perthey’re going to sonnel from help us. the city joined — Joe Theobald in the cleanup efforts last weekend and will continue to assist as needed. “I believe everyone in the state is well aware of the devastation in Ellicott City due to the flooding,” he said. “Ocean City always steps up and tries to help other municipalities because we know that our time is going to come and we want to make sure we help our neighbor because they’re going to help us.” Resisting the urge to jump in feet first, Theobald said the city coordinated its efforts through the state. “We want to make sure we work through the protocols of the state and do it correctly because they don’t need people showing up who have not been assigned a task because it would just be more chaos,” See OC Page 11

‘Lives Matter’ T-shirts defended, criticized
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) The assertion that some of the proceeds of the “Blue Lives Matter” T-shirts are being donated to the Fraternal Order of Police is news to local chapter President Shawn Jones, who said Tuesday neither he nor other officials of FOP Chapter 10 has any knowledge of that. “We haven’t been approached about the shirts fundraising,” Jones said. “I also checked with our executive board and no knows anything about that. It could be for the lodge out in Berlin or in the county. Typically, this time of year, there are businesses that sell shirt and donate to charities.” Even so, in spite of or perhaps inspired by the controversy attached to it, all 900 “White Lives Matter” and “Blue Lives Matter” T-shirts were sold out Monday at the end of the first full day of fishing for the White Marlin Open. “We’ve ordered some more. They’ll be back on Wednesday and sold out on Friday,” said George Lamplugh, who designed the shirts. The White Marlin Marina on Somerset has been selling T-shirts with an upside down marlin flag with the words “White Lives Matter” and “Blue Lives Matter,” ostensibly to promote conservation of the white and blue marlin, respectively. Lamplugh said the business has been selling the shirts since late July, and says the slogan is supposed to play off current events in a clever way. “An upside down flag represents how many marlin have been caught and released. We got the idea when a customer came in once, saw our flag in the office and said, ‘Hey, all lives matter,’” he said. Despite the phrase’s ties to the “Black Lives Matter” movement, Lamplugh said that the response from Ocean City fishermen has been mostly positive. All Monday afternoon, he fielded calls from prospective buyers looking for the shirt. Although hundreds of shirts have been sold, no fishermen were spotted wearing the “White Lives Mat-

ter” and “Blue Lives Matter” logo at the tournament’s Monday weigh-in. “Most of the criticism comes mainly from news reporters trying to upset everyone and get everyone riled up,” Lamplugh said. “Everyone’s taking things so seriously. It’s something that catches everyone’s eye and brings awareness.” Marlin conservation is a serious subject among anglers, many of whom use what are known as circle hooks, which are curved backward, are more difficult for fish to swallow and thus do less damage. Federal fisheries regulations, however, require the use of circle hooks with natural baits or combinations of natural/artificial baits in tournament fishing. Artificial lures can still carry J-shaped hooks. In last year’s tournament, 687 of the 695 hooked marlin were re-
leased. The Town of Ocean City and the White Marlin Club do their part to promote conservation by awarding $5,000 each to the first marlin caught and released in each season. Lamplugh said one dollar from each “White Lives Matter” shirt sale — the shirts sell for $18 to $30 — will go to a billfish conservation, but would not identify which one for fear that negative press might be attached to it. As for the “Blue Lives Matter” shirt, proceeds of that would be donated to the Fraternal Order of Police. The shirts and its fundraising efforts have struck a nerve with the Worcester County NAACP. Ivory Smith, the local chapter’s president, found nothing wrong with the “Blue Lives Matter” shirt, but its white marlin counterpart was particularly troubling in today’s political climate.
Welcome White Marlin Anglers!
“It’s a bad idea at this time. Things are very sensitive with the Black Lives Matter movement, and these shirts just don’t feel right in the community,” he said. “I’ve spoken to councilmembers and business people who denounce the shirt. It’s bringing something that shouldn’t be in the community. What happened on the Boardwalk three weeks ago was a spark, and this is gasoline on the flame. Every life matters, if they are white, black, orange, pink, police, civilian or teacher.” He also doubted that the message’s meaning was for marlin conservation. “He [Lamplugh] said it himself: why let a good thing go to waste?” he said, referencing past interviews. “If it was about conservation, he would have started something like this last See APPAREL Page 5

Apparel has no agenda but conservation, designer says Continued from Page 3 year or the year before. It’s about business. If he won’t identify which conservation the proceeds will go to, there will be no record of it. I’m sure he’ll donate to the police union, though.” At least one public official has stood behind the blue marlin shirt’s message. Councilwoman Mary Knight last week posted an image on Facebook of herself wearing a “Blue Lives Matter” shirt. “I do support the FOP and our police, and it’s something I morally believe in,” Knight said. “I never put things on Facebook I don’t support.” She said she has worn the shirt in mixed company and has not received any criticism - quite the opposite. “I wore the shirt at Harris Teeter and I received a lot of thanks,” she said. Knight added that while the
shirt’s message was mainly for marlin conservation, she thought its double meaning was timely, considering the shootings of police officers that have occurred across the nation this summer. “I’ve always been extremely respectful of law enforcement, ever since I’ve been a little girl, and this year there has been 38 officers killed in the line of duty,” Knight said. “You can see how professional law enforcement was on the Boardwalk in that video, and it’s something you see daily. I don’t this is much of a political statement as it is politely protesting what has been going on.” Lamplugh said that there was no political motive behind making the T-shirt. “We just took cues to what’s going on today, and made a shirt,” he said. “Police lives matter. All lives matter. That’s a good saying for everyone. It’s the catchphrase of the day.”
Pedestrians hit by driver in crosswalk, with right-of-way By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Aug. 12, 2016) Two unidentified men, who were doing everything pedestrians are cautioned to do before crossing the street in Ocean City, were struck and injured by a vehicle as they attempted to cross Coastal Highway around 11 p.m. Tuesday night. The men, ages 57 and 20, were in the crosswalk at the time they were struck, and the crossing signal indicated it was safe for them to do so, Lindsay Richard, OCPD public information officer said. The men were taken to Peninsula
Regional Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries, Richard said. According to police, the pair was walking east on 85th Street and attempted to cross Coastal Highway in the crosswalk and with the signal, when a car operated by another unidentified 18 year-old male struck them. No charges have been filed against the driver, Richard said, but may be forthcoming. “We have to look at the vehicle, and make sure the signal lights were working properly — there’s a lot that goes into it,” she said.

Delaware man dies in police custody following traffic stop Suspect allegedly admits to eating cocaine, has seizure and goes into cardiac arrest
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) A Delaware man was pronounced dead at Atlantic General Hospital Sunday morning after he was arrested by Ocean City police officers during a traffic stop, during which he apparently swallowed cocaine. Resort police officers pulled over the car Jerry Weston, 37, of Greenwood, Delaware, was in before smelling marijuana. A Worcester County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit scanned the vehicle and officers reported finding more than 1,500 small bags of heroin and other narcotics. All three people in the car were arrested. Police said that at approximately 2:30 a.m., Weston, who was being held in the Public Safety Building, started having trouble breathing and emergency medical services arrived shortly after. At some point, he is said to have told police and responders he
ingested cocaine. Upon arrival of medical services, Weston began to have seizures and went into cardiac arrest, police said. Lifesaving measures were conducted and he was taken to Atlantic General Hospital before being pronounced dead. Weston was taken to the office of the chief medical examiner for an autopsy, and the Maryland State Police took over responsibility for the death investigation. According to reports, a preliminary autopsy in Baltimore found no signs of external injuries, but pathologists did find pieces of latex and a substance believed to be cocaine in Weston’s digestive tract, which is consistent with his statement to police and medical personnel that he had ingested cocaine. Doctors at the office of the chief medical examiner have ordered additional tests, including toxicology screenings. Results could take up to a month or more. A ruling has not been made on Weston’s cause of death, and the autopsy remains open pending the results of ongoing tests.

LEAP OF SUCCESS It is tradition that when an angler catches and released his or her first marlin they jump into the water. Breanna Hall released her first white marlin and then a second last Friday while fishing on Haulin N Ballin during the Ocean City Marlin Club's eighth annual "Heels and Reels" Ladies Tournament. She jumped into the water near Atlantic Tackle on Sunset Ave. in West Ocean City.

to target completion dates. “This is a long-term event,” he said. “I can only guesstimate this could be a year before Ellicott City gets back to where it needs to even start to be.” Ocean City has already sent administrative employees, along with public works and emergency services staff, but may expand the list, Theobald said. “I expect it will be a different group of personnel this coming week,” he said. “We may have some personnel from engineering, hopefully the fire department and police department. I don’t know yet, we’re trying to put the list together.” Expressing sorrow for the challenges facing Ellicott City, Theobald said the tragedy does provide an opportunity to practice emergency procedures. “It’s certainly lessons learned,” he said. “Everything we do comes back to assist us in the future on a recovery operation. It’s all about everybody working together,” he said. “Every piece of the cog makes the system work.”
Unknown object plagues bay, boaters during busy weekend Continued from Page 1 Capt. Greg Hall of Tow Boats US in West Ocean City said the submerged obstacle had been reported at various spots along the channel. “A couple of boats have struck it and done some pretty good damage,” he said. “A 60-footer out of Harbour Island hit it down around Third Street. Another report said a boat hit something around 15th Street.” While officials have yet to determine what it is that’s circulating somewhere in the channel, Hall suspects the powerful storm that passed through the region last Monday may have blown a large plastic dumpster into the water. “It’s done damage to props,” he said. “They’re hitting something. Where the big boat hit was 25 feet deep, so it’s not on the bottom.” Despite the effort by state police dive teams and their sonar-equipped boat to locate the hazard, Hall said the search found nothing on Monday.
“It could be at the inlet or it could be at 33rd Street,” he said. “Last night, we did a tow and hit something around 33rd Street.” The White Marlin Open Facebook page cautioned boaters to favor the west side of the channel south of Harbour Island, but Hall said pinpointing the obstacle’s location is problematic. “I can’t believe it hasn’t run out of the channel yet,” he said. Despite the increased boat traffic because of the fishing tournament, Hall said no sightings of the mystery obstacle have been reported. “Over the weekend, there was a million boats in the bay,” he said. “If it was showing, 100 people would have reported it.” Since the state dive team came up empty on Monday, Johnson cautioned extra care for boaters navigating Isle of Wight Bay. “Be vigilant,” he said. “You don’t want to go flying through the channels.”
Body surfaces on uptown beach By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Aug. 12, 2016) An object floating offshore in the area of 127th Street turned out to be the body of Michael West, 25, of Temple Hills Maryland, according to police. Bathers alerted the Ocean City
Beach Patrol to an object floating in the ocean around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, and approaching the object, discovered it to be human remains. West’s body showed signs of having been in the water for an extended period. According to an eyewitness, See REMAINS Page 12

Continued from Page 1 he said. “We responded and embedded ourselves with an Incident Management Team.” Theobald said last weekend’s contingent offered a spell of relief for overburdened emergency responders. “Our primary focus was logistics and accountability at ground zero to assist and give them a break,” he said. “We sent six personnel up for the weekend and we’re actually going to be deploying again for Thursday and Friday.” At this point in the cleanup, officials are still addressing infrastructure needs of the historic district, Theobald said. “There’s a lot of different moving parts right now,” he said. “Its up to the point of even getting the business owners and property owners in safely to see their property, which unfortunately up until yesterday (Monday) some of them were not able to get back in their businesses yet.” As recovery efforts are still progressing, Theobald said it’s too early

Continued from Page 11 the body had the appearance of being afloat for several days. Local law enforcement, as well as the Coast Guard, Natural Resources Police and police departments in Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach all denied any applicable missing persons reports in their respective jurisdictions before West was identified. West had been reported as a missing person in Prince George’s County, where Temple Hills is, and was last seen in the resort on Sunday, Aug. 7 at approximately 5 a.m. close to where his body was discovered, according to police. Ocean City detectives have determined the death was not suspicious in nature. Autopsy results are still pending from the Chief Medical Examiner’s office in Baltimore. The OCPD issued thanks to the citizens who provided information that aided detectives in closing the case.

Property owners’ efforts to save tree stymied By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) The property owners at 105 St. Louis Ave. have lost an appeal with Ocean City to retain a pine tree that officials say is encroaching on the public sidewalk and right of way. Frank and Dee Rubinic appeared at the City Council work session on Tuesday in a final attempt to save the more than six-decade-old specimen. Dee Rubinic said despite their best efforts to trim branches, the problem lies with the trunk, which leans out over the sidewalk’s edge. “The house was built in 1948. I’m
sure the tree was put in then,” she said. “It’s a slow-growing southern pine tree. There’s some on both ends of our block.” Since buying the property in 1991, Frank Rubinic said the couple has been responsive to requests from the city to manage the potential obstruction. “We’ve been there 25 years now and keep the tree in great condition,” he said. “The tree has been just about that same shape because it’s slow growing.” He also told the council he polled random pedestrians last week after they passed under the tree’s outreaching limbs and trunk to see if they felt the pathway was obstructed.

“They said, ‘No, we had no problem going under there,’” he said. “‘Why would the city want you to cut down such a beautiful tree?’” After perusing streets in the neighborhood, the couple found worse rightof-way obstructions, Dee Rubinic said. “We drove around looking and it’s all over the city,” she said. “We’re not complaining about these (other) trees, we just are looking for an exception for our tree.” From Frank Rubinic’s perspective, business expansion has brought an increased level of foot traffic at the southern end of St Louis Avenue. “When we bought our property in 1991, we were lucky if we had six people go down that sidewalk in a day,” he said. “Now, with the new businesses around there’s a lot of people blowing up and down that sidewalk all the time. Most of the quietness down there is gone.” The Rubinics have year-round tenants who maintain the property, but the couple suspects investors are eyeing
their parcel. “I know they want to buy the place and tear it down for parking, but we’re holding on until the very last minute,” Frank Rubinic said. The couple had requested a waiver from the seven-foot vertical height clearance requirement. “I can’t trim the tree any higher than it is or I would be cutting into the trunk,” Frank Rubinic said. “If I take a line up from the edge of the sidewalk and cut the tree right there, it’s going to be one branch sticking out with a great big ugly trunk. I don’t think that would look very nice down there.” Calvin Ginnavan, Ocean City Park Superintendent, explained his department recommends a vertical height clearance of seven feet from the top of the sidewalk to the lowest limb and a vertical height clearance of 14 feet from the street. “In most cases, a few well-placed cuts will provide the necessary clearance,” he said. “However in this case, a complete

‘If we could find a way for the city not to be liable for the tree I don’t have a problem granting a waiver for the tree to be there.’ Lloyd Martin removal of the tree may be necessary as once the tree is cut back to the property line (behind the sidewalk) only a stump will remain and most conifer trees die when cut back to the base.� While praising the Rubinic’s efforts to restrict the tree’s reach, Ginnavan said the pine is still out of compliance. Council President Lloyd Martin said he visited the site on a few occasions and didn’t notice any issues with pedestrian clearance, but did raise potential liability concerns. “It’s a big tree and I just don’t want the city to be liable for it,� he said. “If we could find a way for the city not to be liable for the tree I don’t have a problem granting a waiver for the tree to be there.� Councilmember Mary Knight said now that the city has knowledge of the potential obstruction, a waiver would not be possible. “If tonight somebody at 1:30 a.m. would hit their head and knock themselves out, or worse, who would be liable?� she asked. City Solicitor Guy Ayres said municipal awareness does change the liability issue, since the city does not have immunity for its streets and sidewalks, which must be maintained free and clear of defects. “If you consider this a defect, which apparently rec and parks does, then the
city’s on notice of that defect and therefore presumably a suit could be brought against the property owners and the city. The city probably would not be able to get out on governmental immunity,� he said. Councilmember Dennis Dare, while expressing sympathy for the Rubinic’s desire to maintain the tree, said he personally checked the height to confirm the whether a problem existed. “I went down and I stood under the tree by the sidewalk and I hit it and I’m 5’7� working on 5’6�,� he said. “I’ve known for years once the city’s made aware of something, whether it’s a pothole or cracked sidewalk that’s a trip hazard, once we’re aware of it we share in the liability.� The Council voted 6-1 to require the tree be trimmed to the seven-foot height requirement, with Martin opposed, and suggested the Rubinic’s could plant a replacement if the tree was ultimately removed. Dare also requested the city work to inform all property owners of the need to maintain any trees, plants or shrubs which could be obstructions. “Put something in the spring newsletter to advise the public that bushes and trees need to be trimmed so that they don’t obstruct the public roadway or sidewalk,� he said. “Property owners need to maintain that.�

State data shows 180 percent spike in ODs County raising awareness with campaign to combat uptick in opioid, heroin use
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (Aug. 12, 2016) More than 7 percent of 12th graders in Worcester County have used heroin at least once, according to a recent Maryland Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Opioid and especially heroin abuse appears to be on the rise locally, as evidenced by the most recent data from the Maryland Department of Health & Mental Hygiene. According to a quarterly report on overdose deaths released in June, heroin-related deaths in the state have increased more than 180 percent during the last decade. In 2007, 77 deaths were attributed
to heroin use between January and March. Last year, that number was 190. This year, for the first time, more than 200 people have died in the state during the first three months of the year because of heroin use. To combat that growing trend, the Worcester County Drug and Alcohol Council, a program of the county health department, formed an Opioid Awareness Task Force along with a campaign launched last year, dubbed “Decisions Matter.” “Last year when the governor set up his opioid task force to address the opioid addiction epidemic, all the county health departments got to work with their own local communities to develop their own awareness campaigns around that issue,” Worcester County Health Department Prevention Director Kat Gunby said.
Those campaigns, she said, focused on treating addiction and preventing overdoses. Locally, the task force included workers at the health department, along with State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby and members of the Drug and Alcohol Council. “The Decisions Matter campaign is an awareness campaign about the importance of making wise decisions in order to prevent opioid misuse and abuse, and taking actions such as securing your medications [like] prescription painkillers so that unintended people don’t get access to them and start using them or abusing them, and to create and awareness that misuse can lead to addiction to opioids.” A year into the campaign, Gunby said organizers are hoping to “breath some new life” into the prevention movement by starting another pro-

gram, called “Be a Hero, Save a Life.” “Over the course of the past year, we’ve been promoting Naloxone and Naloxone training. The whole idea behind them is to educate and train people about how to use Naloxone to bring someone who unintentionally overdosed back to life, and to be able to get help and get the next steps to be in treatment and recover from addiction,” Gunby said. “You can ‘Be a Hero’ and ‘Save a Life’ by getting trained in Naloxone if you know a friend or a loved one who is misusing or abusing opioids or heroin.” Free Naloxone training classes are held every second Friday from 9-11 a.m. and every fourth Friday from 13 p.m. at the Snow Hill Health Department, and every fourth Wednesday from 6-8 p.m. at the Ocean Pines Library. The class includes a voucher for a free Naloxone kit. To register, call 410-213-0202, extension 100. “This campaign is really to promote training and be an overall awareness campaign and to drive people to action, and we’re trying to gear up to do more this coming fall,” Gunby said. “We’re going to be using that as part of our promotions to do more public service announcements and education, and a bigger push coming up at the end of August leading up to Overdose Awareness Day, See OPIOID Page 18

Resort to spend $5.5M on radio lease-purchase
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Ocean City officials have taken the next step to replace the resort’s aged emergency services radio infrastructure by accepting a leasepurchase offer for a multi-million-dollar system. Three months’ ago, the mayor and City Council approved the lease of a radio system for that would replace its 23-year-old current system. Although the resort has in-house technicians who keep its software and hardware running, the radio system will no longer receive parts or support from its manufacturer, the Harris Corporation. Ocean City Emergency Services Director Joe Theobald asked the council to contract with Eastern Communications to replace the aging EDACS 800Mhz analog radio system with a new state-of-the-art digital Harris P25 Open Sky system. During the Aug. 1 session, Finance Administrator Martha Bennett told the council that the city had received nine lease bids. “The bids interests’ rates ranged from 1.58 to 2.29, and we were very pleased with the results,” she said. ‘The bids Ultimately, she interests’ rates recommended to the council that it ranged from accept the lowest 1.58 to 2.29, offer for the long- and we were term lease from very pleased Bank of AmericaMerrill Lynch. with the results.’ Martha That proposed interest rate was Bennett 1.5841 percent for the $5.5 million lease-purchase and will run for 10 years. The council unanimously voted in favor of this rate in an emergency ordinance because of time constraints. With the council’s approval, the resort is now gaining some traction on a project that has been years in the making. Theobald and Electronic Services Manager Bob Dimaio spent roughly three years researching alternative radio system options before deciding on the digital p35 radio system, which several public safety departments across the Mid-Atlantic region use to communicate between jurisdictions. The infrastructure should also support an “OpenSky” SCADA system, which is used for transit commands made by the public works department. Originally, Theobald thought the new radio system could cost $9.5 million. The communications system will require roughly two years to install, including upgrading the resort’s 911 dispatch consoles. After that replacement is made, the resort will install new radio in police, fire and public works vehicles by next spring. Refitting the radio system at the 65th Street Public Safety Building would be completed by summer 2018.

West OC Farmer’s Market closes, blames lack of traffic
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Second time was not the charm for the West Ocean City Farmer’s Market. After two months of operations, organizers have pulled the plug on the weekly market of growers and businesses that was held in the Tanger’s parking lot between the old Superfresh and Mione’s Pizza & Italian Restaurant. “This week’s market is cancelled and we’re not going forward,” said Paul Carlotta, owner of Berlin Organics and former market organizer. “It’s not the attendance we hoped for, but we’re looking to move forward.” This was Carlotta’s second attempt to bring farm-fresh goods to residents on the west side of the Route 50 bridge. The West Ocean City Farmer’s Market did enjoy a successful year in 2013, but it closed because of a dispute with the Superfresh located there at the time. Carlotta launched a revival after the supermarket closed and announced the market’s return last March. Although obtaining the required permits from the county was relatively simple, the weather failed to comply, with rainy days forcing the market to move its start date from Memorial Day weekend to June 16. According to some of the market’s

participants, the weather and other factors led to the market’s demise. “It just wasn’t picking up traffic,” said Ashley Harrison, who operates Terrapin Farms in Berlin with her husband, Johnny. The Harrisons were regular vendors at the market. “There was some days where it was raining and others it was staggering hot. It was definitely a rough spring and summer.” Phil McGuire, owner of new business Kinda Jerky Really Nutty on Sixth Street and the Boardwalk, said that the lack of foot traffic also was a factor. The jerky and nut store had participated in most of the market days, except for the first week. “Paul did everything he could do with advertising, but it wasn’t bringSee SEASON’S Page 24

Season’s weather partially to blame for market closure Continued from Page 23 ing enough participants,” he said. Since Kinda Jerky Really Nutty has only been open since March, McGuire said the market was an opportunity to advertise with different shoppers. “A few people traveled over the bridge to check us out at the store and said they saw us at the market. [The market] paid for itself the first couple of weeks to stay in the public eye,” he said. “But it won’t hurt us since I’ll be spending more time at the store and I won’t need to have a employee watch it when I’m at the market.” Harrison also said that the farm, which sells hydroponic grown vegetables, particularly lettuce, would not necessarily suffer from the farmer’s market’s sudden closure. “Our primary commercial avenue is selling to restaurants. I do understand why he closed it, and it’s too bad. If it does come back, we would be interested,” she said. Although the farmer’s market has died this season, other organizers are cautiously optimistic that it could return once more. “We are sad to see it close, but we understand Paul’s decision,” said Tanger Outlet manager Alane Emerson. “Hopefully, we can bring it back next year bigger and better.”

Contractor further delays Rt. 113 stormwater pipe project Originally slated for July 25, roadwork third phase of job to widen 37-mile highway
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (Aug. 12, 2016) State Highway Administration Public Information Officer Charlie Gischlar confirmed the work originally scheduled to begin on July 25 to install four new stormwater drainage pipes on Route 113 will now proceed beginning next Monday. Gischlar said the contractor on the project has experienced delays with the work they’re currently doing elsewhere. However, the first night of work may not require a detour now, as crews will begin the work outside of travel lanes Monday night beginning around 6 p.m., he said. The two following nights will likely require detours. Three installations will be just south of Langmaid Road, and will use that street and Newark Road as bypasses. The fourth installation will take place north of Basket Switch Road, and drivers can use that road as well as Newark Road to get by. The SHA measured the detours at
Since 1982
about 1 mile each. Electronic signs have been in place for at least a week now, and will be updated before each replacement, Gischlar said. According to the State Highway Administration, detours will be in place from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and each job will involve the excavation and removal of old stormwater management pipes, plus installation of new pipe up to 72 inches in diameter. This work is part of SHA’s multiphase project to widen all 37 miles of US 113 in Maryland. The current third phase covers 3.75 miles from Five Mile Branch Road to Massey Branch, and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017. The next part of the dualization, Phase 4, covers 4.3 miles from Public Landing Road to Five Mile Branch Road, and will complete the dualization. This phase is scheduled to start construction later this year, and was announced by Gov. Larry Hogan as part of a tour of the lower shore a few months ago. An average of 11,500 vehicles travel this stretch of US 113 each day, according to the SHA, with 20 percent of the volume coming from commercial trucking.

POLICE/COURTS
Heroin, cocaine found Ocean City Police officers arrested and charged Ryan Steck, 35, of Ocean Pines and Etoyi Roach, 40, of Seaford, Delaware, for possession of heroin and cocaine, possession of paraphernalia and possession with intent to distribute heroin and cocaine on Aug. 7. According to the report, police initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle after watching it pull out in front of a taxicab, almost causing a collision. After a K-9 scanned the exterior of the vehicle, police reported finding 1,000 individually packaged wax paper bags of heroin inside 20 paper packages and 3,500 rubber bands. Police reported Roach had two cell phones, $1,625 in cash, two oxycodone pills and a large plastic bag
filled with cocaine in his groin area. Once at police headquarters, a search of Steck allegedly uncovered eight individually packaged bags of cocaine and 13 wax papers containing heroin in his groin area.
Indecent exposure Regan Plunkert, 18, of Hanover, Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged with indecent exposure on Aug. 4. Police reported receiving a complaint of an extremely intoxicated female walking on the Boardwalk. The responding officer located two girls and observed their actions. According to the report, police watched numerous people avoid bumping into Plunkert and her friend on the Boardwalk. In addition, the 18-
year-old went inside a store and knocked down several displays, the report stated. After leaving the store and heading to a parking lot, police reported they saw her urinating in the parking lot, where she talked to police as she continued.
Arson threats Ocean City police officers arrested Joseph Tramontana, 35, of Ewing, New York, for arson threats and trespassing on Aug. 5. According to the report, Tramontana was yelling and screaming he was going to burn the building down while in the lobby. Police reported they went to Tramontana’s room to give him a trespass warning and evict him.
Tramontana appeared to have been drinking. Eventually, Tramontana left the property before coming back and being arrested for trespassing, the report stated.
Third-degree sex offense Jared Minnich, 18, of York, Pennsylvania, was arrested on Aug. 6 for a third-degree sex offense. Police reported finding Minnich and a 13-year-old juvenile sleeping on a sidewalk downtown. Shortly after, it was discovered the two teenagers were wanted by police in Pennsylvania. According to the report, Minnich told officers he has been in a romantic relationship with the juvenile for seven months and they engaged in consensual sex while in Ocean City.

Budget amendment passes unanimously Room tax, grant revenues up, salaries and benefits down in fiscal 2017 plan
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Expenses are down and revenue is up. That’s the summary of the amendment to the fiscal year 2017 budget the city staff introduced to the City Council at Tuesday’s work session. Overall, the proposed ordinance recognizes a modest increase in the general fund of roughly $97,800 and a decrease in the fund balance from $3.9 million to $2.2 million. That spike in spending will not come out of the citizen’s taxes, according to Budget Manager Jennie Knapp. “Generally, as a town, we have two amendments during the year after
the budget is adopted. It gives us an opportunity to report any changes that have happened,” she said to the council. “In the general fund, there is no additional funding from property taxes.” The overall increase in the general fund resulted from balancing the revenues and expenses Ocean City has seen so far. The suggested amendment listed an additional $1.05 million in costs and moving $344,500 to various other accounts. However, cost-saving measures resulted in a $1.3 million reduction, allowing the resort to seek a smaller general fund contribution. An unexpected increase in room tax revenue paid for several major line items, including an increase in the advertising budget and paying the flood map consultants to correct Ocean City’s ongoing effort to have a

flood zone error corrected. The largest revenue stream in the budget amendment, however, was from agency grants. Breaking down that total, the resort received $467,000 from a state tourism grant, $170,000 from a police grant and $23,000 in Federal Emergency Management Agency funding. Knapp also explained that there was a $405,000 reduction in parttime and full-time salaries. Of that, $165,000 was in police part-time salaries and $220,000 came from Beach Patrol salaries. Reduced costs in health insurance and unemployment benefits also created a sizable windfall of $180,000. There were no notable changes to enterprise funds, but the transportation and convention center funds will see slight reductions in contributions from the general fund due to savings.
Knapp added that the city also paid for repairs to the public safety building on 64th Street, moving $500,000 from one column to another. The amendment recognizes a grant for dredging for the 64th Street boat ramp and allocations for street paving. Additional Ocean Downs revenue and reductions in sidewalk repairs help offset the cost for the major project. The City Council voted unanimously to move the budget for a hearing on Aug. 15. Councilman Dennis Dare offered some final thoughts to what this amendment foreshadowed for the resort. “I was struck by the cost savings in salaries and benefits, and, of course, that’s a good thing, especially if it’s from the departments fitting the personnel to the task at hand,” he said. “But if it’s because weren’t able to hire employees, it gets a little troublesome and that’s what’s going to challenge us in fiscal year 2018.”

City wrestles with challenge of unpaid room tax collection Advent of Airbnb and other peer-to-peer sites adding further complicating efforts By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Formulating an approach for capturing lost room and sales taxes from short-term vacation rentals in Ocean City, most notably from Airbnb and other peer-to-peer online marketplaces, dominated the discussion during Monday’s Tourism Commission meeting. Since the last tourism meeting on July 11, Susan Jones, executive director of the Ocean City Hotel- MotelRestaurant Association, has discussed the issue with the Maryland Hotel Lobbying Association, which she said are working to draft an industry-wide standard for the state. “We’ll probably be getting on board with them on that,” she said. “They also wanted to know if local jurisdictions would feel it important for them to have prior regulations and restrictions locally or if they find something more acceptable statewide.” After repeated attempts to coordinate discussions with Airbnb representatives concerning the collection of associated short-term rental taxes
proved fruitless, Jones said she just recently located the appropriate parties. “I did finally get the tax contact for Airbnb,” she said. Jones also said that Amy Rohrer, president and CEO of the Maryland Hotel and Lodging Association, will lead a discussion about short-term rentals at next week’s annual MACo (Maryland Association of Counties) Summer Conference in Ocean City. “Basically, it’s protecting people and communities on major changes in the lodging industry,” she said. “How to maintain neighborhood integrity and prioritize guest safety.” Echoing the conversation from July’s meeting, OC Chamber of Commerce President Brett Wolf said the business practices of peer-to-peer sites like Airbnb or VRBO are not material since the responsibility to remit tax payments falls to the property owner. “The room tax is an honor system. If you don’t pay, they don’t do anything about it and there’s no penalty if you don’t pay the room tax,” he said. “We’re all normal human beings. Nobody’s going to pay a room tax until they’re caught and forced to pay and then how do you determine how much they’re suppose to pay.” See TOURISM Page 32

By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Out with the old and in with the new was the apparent theme during last Thursday’s Worcester County Planning Commission meeting, where site plans were approved for a new Hampton Inn & Suites at the former location of the Wheels of Yesterday antique car museum on Route 50 in West Ocean City. Planning Commission member Jennifer Keener said the project was green-lighted at the commission meeting on Aug. 4. “This is technically almost the last step in the approval process,” she said. “It came to the Technical Review Committee in July and they submitted for Planning Commission review and approval in August, which they obtained.”
The original plans were modified to alter the roof pitch. “The Planning Commission did not approve the flat roof design, they’re requiring it to be pitched,” she said. “Other that they just basically need to do the revision and submit for permit.” Steve Engel, president and managing partner of Vista Designs, a Showellbased civil engineering, surveying and land planning firm, said the project has moved along quickly since planning began this April. The Ocean II Group, LLC, is launching the new venture. “It’s a pretty small site,” he said. “There are not a lot of pieces to the puzzle.” Groundbreaking should take place in three to four months, Engel said. “We’re going to be demoing the old building,” he said. “It usually takes about 12 months to complete hotel construction once it starts.”
Tourism Commission working to capture rental, sales taxes Continued from Page 31 City Councilwoman Mary Knight asked how someone advertising for short-term rentals online could be uncovered if they are less than forthcoming with their intentions. “Well, it’s pretty easy to catch them honestly,” Wolf said. “I’m going to go on Air BNB and find your property and call Ocean City to find out if you’re licensed. Then I’ll call the county and find out if you paid room taxes.” Although the introduction of new players like Airbnb and VRBO may have muddied the waters, Wolf said the issue predates the impact of such sites. “It’s not a new tax, it’s simply collecting the tax that’s suppose to already be paid,” he said. “In most

cases it’s being collected and not being remitted.” From Wolf’s perspective the situation is not complicated and he suggested that Ocean City government might entertain instituting a fine for noncompliance. “It’s not brain surgery,” he said. “If you’re advertising your property for rent, then you have to have a rental license.” Councilman Dennis Dare said the city has always clearly communicated the requirements. “Every person who bought property in Ocean City in the last couple of decades got a letter from the Town of Ocean City saying if you rent, you have to have a license,” he said.

Walk MS 2017 to have new route; takes place late April
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Altering one detail about Walk MS, a fundraiser for multiple sclerosis research, has led to a complete overhaul of the event’s layout. Although the annual 5K walk has been approved in the past, the City Council was asked during the Aug. 1 council session to reevaluate it after its date and route were changed. Special Events Coordinator Lisa Mitchell said pushing the event from its usual early April date to April 22 next year was done with the hope of rebuilding its participation. In the past, the walk had roughly 500 participants, but the attendance fell to 250 last year. “Prior events were taking place early April, but because it was colder, there was a drop in participants,” she said. “Those-- who are affected by MS can’t handle the colder weather.” Looking for a warmer date led to a snag in scheduling. Walk MS starts at the inlet and moves up the boards, but that day already has been reserved by Boardwalkin’ for Pets, the Worcester County Humane Society’s fundraiser. When Whitney Pogwist, the Walk MS organizer, was made aware of the conflict, she started considering other locations. “They would like to use the Jolly Roger Amusement Park on 30th Street as a
headquarters and a starting point of their walk,” Mitchell said. “We had a meeting with a representative from the police department to discuss the safest and least intrusive way from there to the Boardwalk.” Lt. Elton Harmon suggested that participants cross the intersection of Philadelphia Avenue and 30th Street after two OCPD cruisers stop northbound and southbound traffic. The estimated time to allow walkers to cross the highway would be 5 to 10 minutes. The walkers then will travel east down 30th Street, and then turn right on Baltimore Avenue to 27th Street. From there, participants will turn onto the boards. Southbound lanes of Baltimore Avenue, from 31st and 27th Streets will be closed for pedestrian crossing. “This is not a running race. This is a walk,” she said. “The applicant does understand this new route does make the event more challenging for the town to produce, but she would like to try it.” Walk MS organizers would be charged for the police assistance at $43 per officer and per hour, adding $903 to the bill. The Department of Public Works also would charge for any work or assets used to mark the walk’s route along roads and highways. The council agreed to approve the Walk MS 1-mile and 5K fundraiser for April 22 with little comment.

Editor, As a taxpaying resident with 32 years in Worcester County, I would like to say thank you to Susan Coleman, director of Community Cats Coalition, and to the many compassionate, dedicated volunteers of the animal rescue organizations in the county. These homeless cats are victims of human irresponsibility. They are just trying to survive, seeking shelter to stay warm in the freezing winter and cool in the hot summer, never knowing where a drink of water or the next meal will come from. To deny the volunteers to care for them is animal cruelty. Providing medical care and vaccinating against rabies (with their own money) is helping the Worcester County Health Department to deal with this concern in our area. The most important problem that the rescue groups are solving is population control –spaying and neutering. This is all part of managing a colony. If you don’t think that there is a problem, just visit the Worcester County Humane Society. There are so many beautiful and loving, but unwanted cats and dogs in need of a home. They have had boxes of kittens and impregnated dogs dropped off in the middle of the night by people that won’t
or can’t care for them. More information, letters, articles, etc. needs to be put out there to inform people about the positive aspects of trap/neuter/return. Funding for low-cost spay-andneuter clinics is needed. Let’s show appreciation and support for what the animal rescue groups are doing for our community. Laura Orlando-Marra Berlin
Canine owners cautioned to watch for hot pavement
Editor, Recently, while shopping for produce at an outdoor market on a hot, sunny day, I noticed several dogs panting heavily and frantically picking up their paws from the pavement. I took my sandal off and felt the ground with my own foot. It was so hot that I was in pain within a second. I rushed around the market, warning people that their dogs’ feet must be burning. One tiny dog was in so much pain that she was running in place. Thankfully, most of the people I talked to cared about their dogs and quickly picked them up or moved them to the cool grass. But many people still don’t realize how dangerous hot pavement is and Continued on Page 36

Racial diversity in Ocean City brought into question
Editor, I’ll admit that I am not a frequent visitor to Ocean City. But as a child growing up in Baltimore County, I remember spending many summer vacations here. I happen to be here this weekend because my wife and I brought our teenage daughter and her friends to have some fun in the sun. Reading OC Today, I learned about the incident that took place July 23 (“Tougher approach on B-Walk,” July 29, 2016) concerning the unruly crowd on the southern end of the Boardwalk. Clearly, maintaining a safe and family friendly atmosphere in Ocean City is a prime objective. And as such, reporting the incident and attempting to determine its cause is important. However, I was struck by the commentary in the paper (“Fair or not, B-walk image tarnishes all”, July 29, 2016). It points out, surprisingly, that the city council failed to even mention the incident in the following work session. The photos of those charged with disturbance during the July 23 incident are produced in the paper. I’m not sure of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
the value of posting the photographs, but I am sure that, as those charged are African-American, it reinforces stereotypes regarding race. This is unfortunate, and unnecessary. Interestingly, if one were to scan all of the photographs and advertisements in the July 29 edition of the paper, one would find only a few people of color represented (besides the individuals charged): hardly any blacks, Latinos, Asians, or Arab populations are presented. To an outsider, one would think that Ocean City is a very white community. As the commentary piece points out, the city’s image is being tarnished. I would argue that in the past Ocean City has not been perceived as welcoming to African-Americans and other minority populations. (I am not African-American). I am wondering if this has changed much over the years. Maybe my perception is wrong. If I am mistaken, then I would encourage OC Today to better represent in its pages the diversity that is present in the city. But if there is a lack of diversity in the city, then the city has its work cut out for it. David J. Smith Rockville, Maryland

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Continued from Page 37
Beach fees suggested to compensate for room tax
Editor, It is clear to me that the websites that permit people to rent properties at distance locations are making it difficult to collect the 4.5 percent rom tax that is applied to properties rented in Ocean City. While self-reporting is required, the collection process is difficult when the website is located in one state or maybe another country, the renter is from another state, the property owner lives in another state and the property is located in Ocean City.
The use of rental websites is expected to significantly grow in future years. For example, the website VRBO, that rents vacation properties, already list about 3,900 rentals in Ocean City. The Ocean City Council needs to come to grips with this situation and consider new revenue sources. I believe that the most efficient way to address the problems with the Internet rental transactions is for the City Council to pass legislation that levies a beach fee coupled with a parking permit. The collection of such a charge would be totally within the Town of Ocean City’s control. The levying of a beach fee would also meet

Goal 2, Objective 4 of the Ocean City Strategic Plan that calls for expanding revenue options for the town government. In its most simplistic terms, everyone that uses the beach or uses the Boardwalk would pay a fee on a daily or weekly basis. With computer technology, the fee could be easily adjusted for holidays such as July 4. Many communities throughout the country, such as New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island areas, already assess a beach fee and parking charge. For example, Long Beach, New York assessed a beach fee of up to $15 a day. Using a daily population of 100,000 beach users in Ocean City, a
$10 daily charge would bring in one million dollars for that day. Now, I am sure there are many concerns about the imposition of a beach fee and related parking charge. One such concern is whether registered Ocean City voters or property owners could be exempt from any fees, while another is how to make sure the beach fee would not discourage some income groups from visiting Ocean City. The purpose of this letter is an attempt to at least start the public discussion on the imposition of a beach fee and related parking charge. James H. Spencer Ocean City

Bryant Dean shows off the Hershey’s ice cream counter on Wednesday morning, which has 32 flavors at Big Scoops, located on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Somerset Street in downtown Ocean City.
Big Scoops offers up wide variety of ice cream flavors
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) On Fourth of July, Big Scoops ice cream shop on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Somerset Street had a huge weekend after opening the week prior. “Come feel like you’re at home while enjoying quality ice cream,” Bryant Dean, owner of Big Scoops along with his partner Bill Purnell, said. “We want to give people more of a reason to come downtown.” The shop offers 32 Hershey’s ice cream flavors including black cherry, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookies and cream, hazelnut, birthday cake, cinna-graham swirl, moose tracks, banana pudding and deepdish apple pie. “You get not only the flavor, but it is rich, creamy and the strawberry ice cream has chucks of fruit, which is unique compared to most ice cream,” Bryant said. “The deep-dish apple pie is not a traditional flavor, but it’s really good with little pieces of crust and apple filing mixed in the ice cream.” In addition, all flavors can be blended into a thick milkshake. Coffee lovers may choose to mix a Starbucks cappuccino drink with chocolate and cappuccino chunk ice cream. All ice cream can be topped with Snickers, Heath bar, M&M’s,

Big Scoops, on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Somerset Street, came to fruition after Bill Purnell was approached by Hershey’s ice cream.

peanuts, almonds, sprinkles, brownies, coconut and chocolate sauce or dip. There are a number of cone options, or ice cream can be enjoyed in a cup. “Birthday cake is a favorite with the kids, and mint moose tracks is probably our best seller along with the other moose track flavors,” Dean said. “If you like banana pudding, it is the craziest ice cream you will ever try because it tastes exactly like it.” The ice cream parlor gives out free samples to make sure customers are happy with their selections before purchasing. “See what you like and try some-
thing crazy, that you have never tried before,” Dean said. “It is a top-of-theline product, cinna-graham swirl may be the new favorite – find yours.” Ice cream is $3 for kids, $3.50 for a single scoop, $4.50 for a double and $5.50 for a triple. There are nine different sundaes to choose including the most popular fudge brownie, banana split, peanut butter, frozen hot chocolate or buildyour-own. Ice cream sandwiches are also available.

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Commonly referred to in the real estate industry as “TRID,” the new TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure that went into effect last October, which replaced the traditional HUD-1 settlement sheet, has been a learning curve for Realtors, lenders, settlement companies and consumers alike. One of the most difficult side effects of the new TRID procedure is that Realtors now face challenges in gaining access to the new settlement sheet, called the Closing Disclosure form, or the “CD.” The “CD” is provided in advance of a closing to the buyer and it contains important financial information related to the purchase transaction. Unfortunately, many lenders have chosen to deny document access to the Realtors involved in a transaction. In some cases, Realtors have been able to include an addendum to the contract of sale that grants permission and discloses to both the buyers and the sellers that their agents may have access to this personal information. It has been a longstanding tradition for this crucial information to be shared. Late in July, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) proposed various amendments to Federal mortgage disclosure requirements under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the Truth in Lending Act. The proposed amendments include: • Tolerance provisions for the total of payments, • An adjustment to a partial exemption mainly affecting housing finance agencies and nonprofits, • Extension of coverage for integrated disclosure requirements to cooperative units, and • Guidance on sharing the disclosures with various parties involved in the mortgage origination process. The Bureau stated in their announcement, “The Bureau understands that it is usual, accepted and appropriate for creditors and settlement agents to provide a closing disclosure to consumers, sellers and their real estate brokers or other agents.” The National Association of RealSee REALTORS Page 40

Via Veneto offers eight different Italian water ice flavors, there are several David’s Cookie flavors, and Twisted Tom’s soft pretzels come topped with salt or cinnamon and sugar. Big Scoops also has brownies and muffins. “The pretzels are made fresh-toorder,” Dean said. “They are piping hot and we add the butter and cinnamon-sugar right in front of you.” Big Scoops came to fruition after Purnell was approached by Hershey’s ice cream. He brought the idea to Dean during the offseason and they decided to jump at the opportunity. Purnell is the owner of the iconic Atlantic Hotel next door, where Dean has been employed for a number of years. “Living in Ocean City, it’s a goal to secure a better future for my family and a great opportunity to open a business in the resort,” Dean said. “Every night my grandfather would eat a half-gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream kicking back on his LaZ-Boy. I will always remember my grandma yelling at him for eating too much ice cream.” The space was once the original
Continued from Page 39 tors believes this announcement marks significant progress for consumers, as well as for its members. Giving Realtors access to the CD would strengthen consumers’ understanding of their mortgage and home purchase by helping agents continue to provide expert advice to their clients. “Realtors have reported challenges gaining access to the Closing Disclosure ever since TRID went into effect, despite a long history of access to the substantively similar HUD-1 that is replaced,” NAR’s president, Tom Salomone, said. “Today the CFPB acknowledged that concern by making it clear that it is appropriate and accepted for creditors and settlement agents to share the CD with consumers, sellers and their real estate agents. This is a significant victory that will help Realtors continue to provide the expert service their clients have come to expect. We appreciate the CFPB’s willingness to reconsider the TRID-related challenges our members face and will continue to monitor the progress on this important issue in the months ahead.” Lauren Bunting is a licensed Associate Broker with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

post office in Ocean City, which carries decades of memories. “The building still has the original hardwood floor and you can see where a mat is stained in it because of a fire,” Dean said. “There is nostalgia trapped in the building and we want to bring it out with a home and warm, inviting feel. It’s always great to see kids light up when getting an ice cream cone. It is all about bringing happiness to people on vacation.” Any fire, police or emergency services personnel who stop by Big Scoops in uniform will have the options of kid cones for $1 or 50 percent off everything else sold. In addition, lifeguards receive 25 percent off. “It is our way of saying thank you,”
Dean said. “When it is hot out, we have a cold place to relax and enjoy a cone.” Big Scoops is open from 2-10:30 p.m. every day. Hours will be reduced after Labor Day until October. It will close in the winter and open back up in April. This season it is cash only. The owners plan to host birthday parties at the shop during the offseason. “Support the local community,” Dean said. “Bill was born on the island. It is a small local business and a chance to see the old Ocean City. We want to give back to the community as we grow.” For more information, search “Big Scoops OCMD” on Facebook or email bigscoopsocmd@gmail.com.

Customers have come in,
enjoyed the food and returned.” Favorites at Abyssinia, on Baltimore Avenue and Second Street, include the veggie platter, beef and chicken stews, Doro tibs and Abyssinia tibs. “The beef tibs are popular with sautéed cubed beef, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos and awaze spicy sauce and injera. You can get chicken as well,” Gebrewolb said. There are three specials on the menu, which feature sautéed, cubed beef with onions, tomatoes, jalapenos and awaze spicy sauce and injera. Two
of the dishes add split lentils immersed in a spicy sauce to the mix, and the last special also has a spicy ground beef with homemade seasoning served with a stew of mixed injera. “Everything on the Ethiopian menu comes with special bread [injera],” Gebrewolb said. “Its different and we have our own way of making the food. There are a lot of choices and options for vegetarians.” Many of the platters have lentils, cabbages, grains and the family spices mixed into the food.
The restaurant offers traditional Ethiopian coffee and sambusa, which is lentils, onions and hot green peppers wrapped in a pastry. In addition to the Ethiopian menu, there are a number of American options including omelets, pancakes, hot dogs, wings, chicken tenders, burgers and sandwiches.

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

The Tra Sea Ann crew released 13 white marlins during the Ocean City Marlin Club's eighth annual "Heels and Reels" Ladies Tournament, held Aug. 5-6. The group, pictured at Atlantic Tackle on Sunset Avenue in West Ocean City last Friday, won $15,210.
‘Heels and Reels’ anglers release over 100 marlins
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 12, 2016) Female anglers participating in the Ocean City Marlin Club’s eighth annual “Heels and Reels” competition, held Aug. 5-6, caught and released 103 white marlins and four blues – a tournament record, by far. “It was an absolutely spectacular tournament and pretty good fishing except for the lack of tuna,” Franky Pettolina, OCMC president and co-director of the tournament with Amanda Shick, said. “Lots of marlins and big mahi. The ladies did awesome.” The Tra Sea Ann crew released 13 whites and won $15,210. Ladies aboard the Brenda Lou and Max Bet both released nine white marlins. The Max Bet team was awarded $2,952, while the Brenda Lou group received $1,512, because of participation in additional added entry-level calcuttas, or wagering pools. The Tighten Up crew released eight whites and took home $1,296. The That’s Right! group won the See HEELS Page 44

They also boated a 16.6-pound dolphin during the Ocean City Marlin Club's eighth annual "Heels and Reels" Ladies Tournament, held Aug. 5-6.
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 12, 2016) Lady anglers will display their fishing abilities, as hundreds are expected to participate in the 23rd annual Capt. Steve Harman’s Poor Girls Open, Aug. 18-20. 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 as part of the “Pink Ribbon Classic at the Beach Series” – an assortment of local activities to raise breast cancer awareness while garnering money for the organization. “I have a good feeling. I foresee a record-breaking Poor Girls Open for anglers, boats and payout,” tournament coDirector Earl Conley said, adding that he has received numerous phone calls from interested ladies. In addition, most of the boat captains Conley knows are booked all three tournament days, he said. “When you pair an all-ladies tournament with a good cause, you’ve got a double bonus,” he said. Many women – about 75 percent – make it a tradition to fish annually, including cancer survivors. Although it is a competition, there is camaraderie among the lady anglers. “All walks of life and all ages participate, cancer survivors and those touched by the disease,” Conley said. “The energy here is better than any tournament. There’s just a different vibe. It’s really neat.” 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. “The marlin bite is coming on strong. Hopefully by the end of this week we’ll see the bite getting really hot,” Conley said Tuesday. Anglers who boat the three heaviest tuna, dolphin and wahoo will also received cash prizes. There are added entry levels/calcuttas for billfish releases, tuna, dolphin and wahoo. Girls 16 and younger may compete in the junior angler division. Two new calcuttas were added in 2015. A wahoo calcutta was included for the first time and cost $150 to enter. Seventy boats out of the 136 registered for the 2015 tournament participated in See MORE Page 46

The C-Boys crew took home $1,674 for a 22.6-pound dolphin. The Junior Angler Award went to Emma Campbell for releasing two white marlins while fishing on the Reel Estate. No tuna were weighed during the tournament. This year’s weigh-ins took place at Atlantic Tackle on Sunset Avenue in West Ocean City. Prize money and participation were up this year compared to 2015. Last year, 31 boats were entered into the tournament and $42,150 was awarded to the winners. For 2016, more than 200 female anglers fished on 42 boats. A total of $46,260 was paid out.

Heasley’s 76.5-lb. white marlin in top spot
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 12, 2016) 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 43rd annual White Marlin Open. The Kallianassa was waiting at the scale on Tuesday for it to officially open at 4 p.m. The crew was anxious to weigh Phil Heasley’s (Naples, Florida) white marlin. The day before, several whites were brought to the dock. They all exceeded the 67-inch length mini-
mum, but failed to make the 70-pound weight minimum. Spectators gathered in the grass area around the scale in anticipation as it weighed in at 76.5 pounds. “[It] gave us a good fight, actually,” Heasley said. It took about 10 minutes to get the fish on the boat. The Kallianassa is registered in all the white marlin added entry-level calcuttas. If no other qualifying whites are weighed, the crew could win about $2.4 million. The excitement began the day before when the Get Reel made it to Harbour Island with just a few minutes to
spare before the scale closed at 9:15 p.m. The crew arrived to weigh Jim Conway’s (Glen Burnie, Maryland) blue marlin that was so large they had to tow it in from offshore. The marlin took Get Reel’s bait around 12:15 p.m., and Conway fought it for about two hours. “We did all we could to get it on the boat. We tried multiple times – winch lines, tail ropes – it was just too heavy,” Conway said. “We got him to the boat at 2:15-2:30 then started heading [to Harbour Island]. We had to stop a couple times and try to get him back up on

there [the back of the boat] because it’s a big fish. We didn’t think we were going to make the scales.” After about a seven-hour ride, the boat pulled up to the dock and spectators could see that the top third of the fish was in the 36-foot boat while the rest of it was in the water. The tail, which was detached from the body, was laying inside the boat. “The tail rope actually cut it while we were coming back in, in transit,” Conway said. After several attempts, the White See WHITE Page 48

A $1,000 billfish release winnertake-all calcutta was also added in 2015. “It was absolutely well received,” Conley said after last year’s Open. “Fifty-six boat out of 136 [signed up]. That’s more than 40 percent, which is outstanding.” Conley feels that number could be topped this year. Registration for the 2016 tournament will begin at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 17, at Bahia Marina, 22nd Street on the bay. A captains’ meeting will follow. Anglers may fish one of three days: Thursday, Aug. 18, Friday, Aug. 19, or Saturday, Aug. 20. 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. 21, at the Marlin Club in West Ocean City, from noon to 2 p.m. The competition has grown since its inception. Eight boats participated in the first tournament, and 2015 was a record-breaking year all around. A record 634 lady anglers fished on 136 boats and a total of $174,250 was awarded to tournament winners. About $90,000 was presented to the American Cancer Society. The total donated by the Harman family through the tournament and other events over the past eight years is about $700,000. “We’ve got to be close to $750,000. Our goal is to hit the $1 million mark,” Conley said. “I want to thank the Harman family for putting on such a great tournament. The Harman family is a very generous family that is always involved and proactive in giving back to the community.” 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 ladies-only 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 Series. Other events include a card game and mahj party; tennis, mah jongg and golf tournaments; Jammin’ Out Cancer with live music at Seacrets, 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. Since its inception, the series has raised approximately $1.7 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 ef-
fects 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-aday cancer information center. This year, 4,880 women in Maryland will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Across the country that number rises to 246,660, and an estimated 40,450 will die from the disease, according to the ACS. Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.

Ocean City Lacrosse Classic this weekend
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) The Ocean City Lacrosse Classic began Thursday morning with at least 2,500 lacrosse players competing throughout the weekend. The tournament is held in three locations at Northside Park on 125th Street, at Fourth Street across from the skate park and at the Northern Worcester County Athletic Complex off Route 113 in Berlin. The annual event has taken place for more than 20 years in Ocean City, bringing lacrosse players from all over the country and internationally. There are 104 teams in eight divisions. “We have some of the best college and top pro players,” Tournament Director Bob Musitano said. “There is outstanding action, it is fun to watch and good competition. You will see some of the best lacrosse in the county up close, and it is neat for kids.” The 46 Men’s Elite (18 and older) di-
vision teams, 17 Master’s (35 and older) crews, nine Grandmaster’s (45 and older) squads and five Men’s King Neptune (50 and older) teams kicked off the lacrosse action on Thursday at Northside Park on 125th Street and the Northern Worcester County Athletic Complex off Route 113 in Berlin. These teams play all weekend long in both locations, with tournaments beginning at 9 a.m. today and continuing into the evening hours. Eight teams will also compete in the wheelchair “Rolling Surf” division and play today and Saturday in the Northside Park gym. The Women’s Elite (18 and older) competition will include 19 teams competing today at Fourth Street across from the skate park and Northside Park in Ocean City, beginning at 10 a.m. Most championship games will be played Sunday, Aug. 14 with the last one starting around 2 p.m. The “Rolling Surf” national championship game will
take place Saturday at 3 p.m. “Each team plays a minimum of four games and they are 50 minutes long,” Musitano said. “We had [teams with] 22 [records] make the playoffs, and each game has significance to it. It is set up to make sure teams hang in there.” On Saturday, organizers plan to try out a drop-in game for players older than 60. Visit www.OCLaxClassic.org for the location and time. The annual lacrosse tournament has grown from five or six teams to more than 100, with spectators able to catch at least 260 action-packed games throughout the weekend, Musitano added. “You see top pros in lacrosse play right next to them and it’s really cool to watch,” he said. “There will be many professionals in attendance. It is an awesome and free event.” Teams consist of athletes from all over the country, with some playing in professional leagues in addition to a
mix of players from states including California, Maine, New York, Florida, Wisconsin and Maryland. “We expect some college players from North Carolina State [University],” Musitano said. “We’ve had teams from England and Japan. Players from the Philippians National Lacrosse Team played last year.” A portion of the proceeds from the Classic help fund scholarships at Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin for student-athletes. Musitano said $3,000 was awarded at Decatur last year, where he is the girls’ varsity head lacrosse coach. “It is really neat Ocean City opens up for these kids,” Musitano said. “You can’t ask for a more inviting environment to have a lacrosse tournament. It is a destination tournament and people like that. They bring their families. Come out and support lacrosse on the Eastern Shore.” Visit www.OCLaxClassic.org for more information.

(Aug. 12, 2016) Billy Frick, formerly of Ocean City, will be keeping his eye on the action during this weekend’s Ocean City Lacrosse Classic, both as a fan of the sport and as the head coach of the new men’s lacrosse team at North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The school anBilly Frick nounced in February that it had selected Frick to lead the varsity team into its first season next spring. The school said Frick has used his position as a player, coach, official and administrator to reach young men, mentoring and guiding them in their faith and day-to-day life on and off the field. Frick said the opportunity to combine his passion for ministry, mentoring and the sport of lacrosse him to apply for the position at North Central. “I am thankful to [Director of Athletics] Greg Johnson and the staff at North Central University to have the opportunity build a lacrosse program from the ground up, at an institution where I will be able to combine both of my passions – personal faith and lacrosse – to impact young men for eternity,” Frick, a 1987 graduate of Worcester Country School (now Worcester Preparatory School), said. He had been the assistant coach at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania. As such, he assisted with all facets of running the collegiate program including recruiting, opponent scouting, game and practice planning, and film study. While at Susquehanna, Frick has seen the school produce 11 all-conference players, rookie of the year, player of the year, three All-Americans and one scholar All-American. In addition to coaching, Frick knows the game as a player and official: he was a member of the inaugural program at the University of Mary Washington (Fredericksburg, Virginia) in 1988 and was active as a participant in the game of lacrosse until 2014. Frick also has 16 years of officiating experience, which includes his role as an assistant administrator for the Potomac Lacrosse Officials Association, where he scheduled and assigned games and trained new referees for multiple levels of competition. Frick said his personal faith plays a large role in his everyday life. In addition to coaching lacrosse, he has served as a pastor in the United Methodist denomination since 2006. Prior to that, he was a school chaplain. Frick is heavily involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) lacrosse ministry where he previously was a national board member. He continues to contribute to the Pennsylvania state FCA board, offering his expertise and wisdom as both a state and nationwide coach, clinician, chaplain, and

White Marlin Open payout record $4.42 million this yr. Continued from Page 45 Marlin Open staff was able to pull the marlin onto the dock. Tournament organizers then discussed whether to weigh the fish or disqualify it because it was considered “mutilated” as the tail was severed. According to International Game Fish Association (IGFA) rules, “mutilation to the fish, prior to landing or boating the catch, caused by sharks, other fish, mammals, or propellers that remove or penetrate the flesh” is cause for disqualification. Since the tail was lost after Conway landed the fish, it was eligible to be weighed. It measured 117 inches without the tail. The tournament minimum qualifying length this year is 114 inches.

The next issue was how to weigh the fish. Typically, fish are weighed by the tail and hung vertically. Dock crew attempted hooking the marlin under its gills to weigh it, but that didn’t work. They next wrapped ropes around the body and hoisted it up horizontally. The fish, without the tail, weighed 790 pounds. The tail weighed 29 pounds. The official weight was registered at 790 pounds. Conway’s blue marlin was the only one brought to the scale after three days of fishing. If no other qualifying blue marlin are landed, the Get Reel crew could win about $150,000. As of Thursday morning, Rich Kosztyu held the top spot in the tuna division. His 236.5-pound big eye reeled in aboard Hubris on Wednesday could bring in $400,000. Magic Moment angler Mark Hutchison was in second place with a 233pound big eye he landed on Tuesday. He and his teammates could win $130,000 for the fish. Pat Horning was in third place with two days remaining with the 71.5-pound yellowfin tuna he boated while fishing on Fish Whistle, Monday. The crew has the potential to receive $9,000. John Hoffman’s 67-pound yellowfin caught on Monday aboard Reel Direct has the potential to bring in $70,000. Brian Russell tied for first place in the dolphin division on Wednesday with the 36 pounder he caught aboard Sea Wolf. Reel Joy angler John Gudelsky landed his 36-pound dolphin on Tuesday. The estimated payout for Russell’s fish is $15,000, while Gudelsky’s is $17,000 because of added entry-level participation. Thomas Bennett’s 34.5-pound dolphin reeled in aboard Delta Dawn on Monday could also be worth $17,000. Richard Hammond was in first place in the wahoo division as of Thursday morning.

No Service was in third place with Steve Figiel’s 40.5-pound wahoo reeled in on Wednesday, and potentially worth $14,000. As of Wednesday night, only one qualifying shark had been brought to the 14th Street scale.

“I couldn’t ask for anything more. We have a great number of boats…good weather forecast all five days…and we got a lot of fish, a lot of white marlin,” tournament founder Jim Motsko said. “A lot of white marlin are going to be caught and released…We got 6 percent more boats and 10 percent more prize money [compared to 2015].” Crews can fish three of five days.

‘Artists Paint OC’ 11th annual plein air event underway
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Artists from near and far have begun to create their masterpieces during the Art League of Ocean City’s 11th annual plein air event, “Artists Paint OC.” Plein air, a French expression for “in the open air” is used to describe painting outdoors, directly from life. The four-day event features 50 plein air artists setting up at scenic sites throughout the resort from Aug. 11-14 as they compete for prizes. Hundreds of spectators gather to watch artwork come to life and others are inspired to create paintings of their own. “In a way, plein air painting is a spectator sport and is as much fun for the people watching then the artists,” said Rina Thaler, executive director of the Art League of Ocean City. “Our competition has had national acclaim because of Ocean City’s uniqueness with the Boardwalk, bays, Assateague, people on the beach and nature in the marshes, all in a close proximity.” The event kicked off yesterday with check-in starting at 8 a.m. followed by a full day of painting. “People paint until whenever,” Thaler said. “An artist participated in night painting of fireflies as the sun went down [in previous years]. It’s magical to watch them complete their artwork.” On Friday, participants start painting around 9 a.m. and will use 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, streets, near the bays and marshes or on the Boardwalk and at the harbor. “We have 50 artists registered using different styles from six states – Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut,” Thaler said. “Some do these competitions all over the country. We have a mix of professionals who travel and local talented artists.” Saturday’s events will start with a chance to paint from the morning to 4 p.m. and then registered artists will return to the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street to frame and hang their completed artwork for a competition. Judging begins at 5:30 p.m. and the pieces will be on display at the Ocean City Center for the Arts until Aug. 27. In addition, each artist will choose another work to be displayed in the See ARTWORK Page 50

Luckily, two things occurred, one was complimentary valet parking, and the second was I found a high top table. Next to it was a Seacrets Distilling Company bar and the most entertaining bartender. While sitting there, we overheard a woman say in a staccato notion, “Look. At. The. Big. Boats.” It took all of my willpower not to burst out laughing. If you didn’t know already, this weekend wraps up the White Marlin Open tournament. I highly suggest you check out the big boats and great catches caught by the fishermen competing.

Artwork created during event will be available for purchase Continued from Page 49 classrooms for sale. “There are a couple hundred pieces and it’s the first chance to collect art,” Thaler said. From 6-8 p.m., the public is invited to attend the “Wet Paint Sale” to meet the artists and purchase paintings. “It is a chance to collect an original piece of artwork with life and emotion at affordable prices,” Thaler said. “These are favorite Ocean City scenes.” There will be a cash bar and complimentary refreshments. During the awards ceremony, first-place takes home $1,000, the second-place finisher will receive $500 and the thirdplace winner will earn $250. Ray Ewing of Swan Point, Maryland, participated in the Artists Paint Ocean City competition for the first time last year and was awarded “Best in Show” for his depiction of sand dunes on the beach. “I look forward to exploring the area and hope to capture some of what the area has to offer from the Boardwalk to the work boats and dunes,” Ewing said. “This is a fun event and I will be painting in oils.” Ricky Sears of Kensington, Maryland, will be back to paint for the third year in a row. “It’s easy to see why the artists have been coming back,” Sears said. “The subjects I can paint in Ocean City are inexhaustible. Personally, I am exhausted by the end of the competition, but it’s because I know there’s so much to paint and so little time.” Sears paints in oils and watercolors, but loves to mix colors on his palette to capture the quality of light when painting outdoors. “It is such a well-organized event,” Sears said. “I usually make studio paintings, but I love the challenge in this event to create paintings right before the public’s eyes.” Painting the sunrise at the water’s edge has become a morning ritual for Sears, which he will continue this year. “It’s a challenge to record colors in
the sky and water,” Sears said. “During the day, I paint bayside in the shade on compositions with design principles in mind like balance and harmony to echo the beauty of the landscape.” Sears and fellow Artists Paint OC participant, Lesley McCaskill, will be exhibiting artwork at the Center for the Arts during September. “She was my elementary school art teacher and now we will be painting alongside each other before our art hangs in the gallery,” Sears said. In addition, the Ocean City Development Corporation is sponsoring a timed “Quick Draw” competition on South Division Street in downtown Ocean City from 9-11 a.m. Sunday morning. Interested artists can register onsite 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 is set for 11:30 a.m. at which time $500 in prize money will be divided between first, second, third place. “The Quick Draw event is a great way to see artists paint many of the landmarks in downtown Ocean City,” said Glenn Irwin, executive director of the OCDC. “As this competition takes place on the Boardwalk and South Division Street, it is in the heart of Ocean City. Artists will often paint items such as the beach, inlet, Boardwalk, Trimper’s Amusement rides, pier rides and many other attractions.” Another Wet Paint Sale will take place on the Boardwalk under a tent after the competition giving visitors another opportunity to purchase original artwork of local scenes minutes after completion. “The Quick Draw is also a great way to showcase the Artists Paint OC event in general,” Sears said. “There may be an audience for art that didn’t see the main event and doesn’t plan to see the gallery on 94th Street, though they should because there’s something for everyone.

Ocean City by artists willing to put their work out to be enjoyed.” Maggii Sarfaty of Easton, Maryland, participated in the “Quick Draw” event for the first time last year. She came in third place during the timed competition for her painting of beach patrons among umbrellas with the Boardwalk Ferris wheel in the background. “I’ve created my entire life [and] I’m now exploring my love of painting outdoors,” Sarfaty said. “I’ve participated in Easton’s ‘Quick Draw’ for years. I am very excited to be participating in the entire event this year.” Sarfaty plans to paint remote and crowded areas including Assateague, night scenes near Trimper’s Amusement rides at the pier and lifeguards on the beach in watercolor and oil. “I am pleased to return to an OC Art League event,” Sarfaty said. “They are wonderful to work with [and] get back to me quickly. They even facilitated places to stay for out of town artists. A very well run organization.” The Center for the Arts on 94th Street will display a map marking each artist’s approximate location and artists are encouraged to post their
whereabouts on its Facebook and Instagram pages during Artists Paint OC. “We will have up-to-the-minute updates on social media,” Thaler said. “On the Art League website, all of the registered artists are listed and you can click on the links to their websites.” Although the event has taken place since 2006, Thaler said the last couple years have grown in popularity with more than 300 people attending the Wet Paint Sale last year. “For people who love Ocean City, it is a great way to get a piece to last forever,” Thaler said. “It is also a great way to support the arts.” Thirty percent of all sales go to the Art League of Ocean City to continue its programs and projects. The nonprofit organization is devoted to bringing the visual arts to the community through education, exhibits and scholarships.

Worcester County Fair at Byrd Park in SH this wknd.
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) The Worcester County Fair returns to Snow Hill this weekend with an assortment of familyoriented activities, including a dozen contests for children, livestock shows, cake auction and a car show with free admission and parking. “A county fair is just plain good oldfashioned fun. It’s as simple as that,” said Susan Todd, Worcester County Fair board member. Taking place on 12-shaded acres at Byrd Park in Snow Hill, along the Pocomoke River, the fair has been a county staple for about 50 years and kicks off today, Friday, and continues through Sunday. Festivities begin with two programs full of educational information for children: youth STEM activities from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and “Worcester Celebrates Safe Kids Day” at the same time. Children can check out hands-on activities from the University of Maryland’s extension 4-H club, including straw rockets, hovercraft and nanotechnology during the STEM activities and about a dozen area vendors will be in attendance to teach children about seatbelt, bicycle, ATV, sun and electricity safety during Worcester Celebrates Safe Kids Day. Various county agencies will be giving free handouts to kids and their parents. New this year, Home Depot will offer a woodworking workshop in the children’s tent from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. when they will bring wooden craft kits and supplies to put projects together. Children eight and older will be able to take their work home with them. Livestock judging begins at noon with at least 75 sheep, rabbits, swine, goats and cows present for viewing on the fairgrounds. The Kid’s Mud Bog is back for 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. “What child doesn’t like riding ATVtype-of-vehicles, just their size,” Todd said. The Kid’s Mud Bog will take place Friday and Saturday from 2:30-4:30 p.m. and Sunday, 12-2 p.m. Country Crossroads will perform from noon until 2 p.m. for crowds. 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. “The champion and reserve cakes and pies are auctioned off as a fair fundraiser,” Todd said. “This is a big crowd event. Because it is an election year many local politicians and business persons will be there to show their support for the fair by bidding on a prizewinning cake or pie.” The fairgrounds close at 8 p.m. See ACTIVITIES Page 58

Professional magicians entertain OC crowds
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) World-class magicians continue their unbelievable tricks every night at the Holiday Inn Oceanfront on 67th Street with Dickens on the Road. The shows began on June 29 and continue through Sept. 5. Four magicians are slated to perform over the next few weeks. “This is a great night of entertainment for the entire family,” said Jason Gulshen, general manager at Holiday Inn Oceanfront. “It’s fun to watch families sharing laughs and trying to figure out how the magicians performed each trick. These are world-class performers in a 100 percent family-friendly environment providing another opportunity for a family beach tradition.” Seeing families laugh, having a good time together and creating memories to last a lifetime are reasons why it’s the fourth year Dickens Parlour Theatre in Millville, Delaware, has brought its professional acts to the resort. Gulshen is seeing many families return each year and they have made the magic shows part of their Ocean City experience. Most nights 40 to 70 people catch a show. “The quality of entertainers that Dickens brings to Ocean City is impressive,” Gulshen said. “All the acts
are full-time professional magicians, many with shows in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York City and other major markets and many have performed on various television shows.” The magic continues tonight, Aug. 12, at 7 p.m. with Brian Staron, who blends his show with humor, audience participation and magic. Catch Staron’s show until Aug. 16 in Ocean City. “He puts on a light-hearted comedy show where people are laughing so hard they tend to forget about how great the magic is,” said Rich Bloch, fellow magician and owner of Dickens Parlour Theatre. “He was a longtime veteran of Walt Disney World, ‘America’s Got Talent’ and his shows are always family-oriented.” After Staron performs for a few days, funnyman and magician Will Fern returns to the Holiday Inn for a week-long stint, Aug. 17-23. Fern comes off a recent headlining appearance at the Society of American Magician’s 2016 National Convention in Indianapolis where he was asked to lecture and teach in addition to perform stand-up and close-up magic. He has performed in Ocean City every year since Dickens on the Road began. “I have a few new tricks up my sleeve where I will be levitating a child from the audience,” Fern said. If audiences are lucky, “Aloe
Vera,” a mind-reading mermaid, will make an appearance during Fern’s surreal mind-reading trick involving a blow-up doll, book, ping pong ball and blindfold. “The most important and biggest misconception is these are kiddy magic shows,” Fern said. “Bring your wits, our jokes are aimed at adults and all of these magicians have performed everywhere. There are bits for kids, too.” Following Fern, is incredible slight-of-hand magician Andrew Goldenhersh, who has been nominated 12 times for Close-Up Magician of the Year at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Check out Goldenhersh’s highly anticipated show from Aug. 24-30. “He is one of the most inventive magicians in the world today and regarded by other magicians as the guy who can do stuff no one else in the county can,” Bloch said. “Everybody needs to see his extraordinary and astonishing effects.” The summer of magic comes to a close with Jay Read, who is slated to entertain families at 7 p.m. for the event’s last series of shows, Aug. 31 to Sept. 5. All of the performances are followed by a meet and greet, where audience members can enjoy an intimate, up-close show from the See MAGIC Page 62

What makes rip currents dangerous explained
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) If you spend anytime at the beach and listen to local television or radio at this time of the year, you will hear about the dangers of rip currents. I get a lot of questions about what the difference between a rip current and a rip tide is and what makes them so dangerous. You will see on local and national news coverage stories about rip currents. Although they are often mistakenly referred to as “rip tides,” they are in fact a current. A current is simply a volume of water moving from one location to another. In contrast, tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun and occur about every 12 hours. What makes a rip current dangerous is that it moves water away from beach and out to sea, where north or south currents just move water along the beach. As water flows away from the beach, in the rip, anything or anyone in that water will also be pulled steadily away from shore. This action not only accounts for how unsuspecting bathers and people that never intended to go out further than their waist are pulled into water that is over their heads. It also is responsible for creating the telltale
signs that identify a rip current to the trained eye. As waves break and stir up the sandy bottom and create foam, this discolored water and foam are carried away from the shore clearly marking the location of a rip current. While the mechanics of a rip current are easily understood, they still remain the greatest surf zone hazard for anyone enjoying water activities at any beach and account for 95 percent of all water related rescues in Ocean City. Rip currents are such a well-known natural hazard that the National Weather Service has identified them as the third leading cause of weather related death.
If you question the seriousness of this threat then just take a moment to realize that not all states could even contribute to this statistic because not all states have ocean beaches. So being the third leading cause of weather related death is quite significant. To understand how to escape a rip current it is important to understand what causes rip currents. Rip currents occur when water that comes into the beach by wave action and wind needs to make its way back out. Because a sandbar runs the length of Ocean City, water that has come over the sandbar needs to make its way back out. Because wave action continues to bring water over the sandbar, the water has difficulty going out against the incoming flow.

Water will take the path of least resistance and find a lower spot along the sandbar to become the natural path for the flow of the water. As more water comes across the sandbar the volume in the trough (water trapped between the beach and sandbar) increases and this additional volume of water causes an increasingly greater volume of water to flow through this path. As water flows along this path it will move sand and creates a deep underwater channel from the shoreline through the sandbar. As waves break near the beach they cause a change in bathometry (the contour of the ocean bottom), which causes a constant change in the sandbar and See RIP Page 64

Rip currents can open up at any given time Continued from Page 63 thus rip current locations and severity are constantly changing. Rips can open up at any given time, sometimes referred to as “Flash Rips.” Just last week I was out swimming and I could see little rips opening up where just minutes before there weren’t any in the area where I was swimming. It was a rough choppy day and the sandbar was being broken away. Another factor that has an influence on the frequency and severity of rip current activity is water depth, which is directly related to changing tides. This is why rip current risk may be reported as moderate at 1 p.m. and become high at 4 p.m. The Ocean City Beach Patrol provides rip current assessments to
NOAA three times each day. We have also worked directly with scientists to understand rip currents and how to better forecast and predict them. Although rip currents do not pull a person under water as a lot of people believe. It is the deep channel cut into the sandbar that gives the impression that a swimmer maybe pulled down. In reality what is happening is a non-swimmer who intended to remain only in waste deep water is being moved by the rip current into increasingly deeper water channel. Since they cannot swim, they try to stand on the bottom and as they move away from the shore the water becomes over their head and they are no longer able to keep their head
above water. Therefore, a person watching from the beach may think that what they believe they are seeing is a person being pulled under. In fact, it is a non-swimmer who does not have the ability to keep their head above water. If this occurs while the beach patrol is on duty, the lifeguard will simply assist the person back to safety. However if this occurs while lifeguards are not on duty, the outcome could be deadly. You may believe that only nonswimmers drown as a result of rip currents while in reality, many rip current drowning victims had moderate to good swimming ability. This brings up the question, “why would a person who knows how to swim, drown?” The answer is simple. Panic, fatigue and lack of ocean awareness all contribute to the outcome. A rip current is very much like a treadmill. As water is flowing away from the beach, a swimmer attempting to swim straight in will make little or no progress against this outgoing current. Since a rip current may flow faster than an Olympic swimmer can swim, swimming against this current only causes a person in this situation to become fatigued while getting no closer to
the beach. Eventually, they become so fatigued that they are no longer able to keep their head above water and once they slip below the water’s surface and are no longer able to get air, they become unconscious and only have moments before they become a statistic. In contrast, a swimmer or someone with a flotation device can easily escape the grip of the rip. By nature a typical rip current is not very wide usually 20 yards at most which means that a person who is being pulled out can be out of the rip after a few swimming strokes. Also, once the rip current flows through the cut in the sandbar the pull disperses and the current no longer continues to pull you away from shore. With these facts in mind, if you find yourself being pulled away from shore, do not panic, simply swim parallel to shore and once you no longer feel the pull of the rip, swim back into shore. If you feel you are unable to swim across the rip, relax, let it take you out to the sandbar and then swim back to shore. Whatever you do, never abandon a flotation device and always signal the lifeguard if you want their assistance. In most cases, they will already be on their way to assist you

Swim parallel to shore until out of rip current, OCBP says back to safety. Even our lifeguards will not attempt to swim straight in against a rip current. They use their knowledge of the ocean to swim parallel to the beach until they are out of the rip current and then make their way back into safety with a victim in tow. If you can remember the word RIP then you can remember what to do to save your life, R = Relax and do not panic, I = I need help (wave your arm), P= Swim Parallel to return to safety.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Pasta dish ‘beautiful and visually stunning’ Pappardelle with summer squash and arugula-walnut pesto ‘is a fusion of flavors’
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) Italy. The name invokes visions of vine-covered hills, azure seas, terra-cotta tiles, magnificent art and irresistible food. Few other countries can claim a style of cooking that is universally loved and imitated. Pappardelle with summer squash and arugula-walnut pesto is a fusion of flavors and styles that is beautiful and visually stunning. Summer squash is sliced lengthwise on a mandoline to pair with the wide pappardelle noodles. Arugula, walnuts and Parmigiano Reggiano blend to form a modified but sophisticated version of the classic pesto. Execution of a particular dish is up to the individual chef. Options are always on the forefront. Traditional dried pasta equates simplicity. However, if one prefers a challenge, consider fresh pasta. It is not as hard as you think. Let us delve into the art of
homemade pasta. Italians traditionally use “00” flour (doppio zero) to make fresh pasta. It is a soft-wheat flour that has a powdery texture and yields an incredible light pasta. It is extremely difficult to find in this area and quite pricy. Amazon carries several brands and is probably your best bet. The never ending saga – is “00” flour necessary for authentic homemade pasta. Here in the U.S., we categorize flours by how much protein they contain, which directly affects the gluten formation. However, in Italy and other parts of Europe, the flour is categorized by how finely the flour has been grounded. For example, coarsely ground is labeled as type “2” flour and powder-fine is “0.” What gets confusing is that we assume finely ground “00” flour is probably low in protein. Mother told me to never assume and she is correct. The protein content of “00” flour can range from quite a bit depending on what kind of wheat it is ground from. Most “00” flour in the United States is ground from durum wheat which has a midrange protein content of about 11-12 percent, similar to all-purpose white flour.
Another key component that must be addressed is how the gluten in “00” flour and the gluten in all-purpose flour behaves. The gluten from durum wheat flour tends to be strong but not elastic, while the gluten in red wheat flour is both strong and elastic. My case in point, it is perfectly acceptable to substitute all-purpose flour for “00” flour. There will be a difference in texture, but this particular subtlety will not hinder the fruits of one’s labor. Another consideration comes to the forefront; can a novice make pasta with a machine? There is no denying that a pasta machine produces thinner sheets with perfectly parallel edges. But it takes a while for
an inexperienced chef to feel comfortable with a pasta machine. Experimentation is the key to knowledge and expands one’s repertoire of possibilities. Homemade pasta is fun and a dedicated cook should give it a try. Following is a fresh pasta recipe taken from William Sonoma’s website. I encourage you to give it a try. But for those who are not as adventurous in the art of homemade pasta, dried pappardelle is available.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Making fresh pasta ‘not as hard as you think’ Continued from Page 69 ¼ tsp. fine sea salt 4 large eggs, at room temperature 2 tsp. olive oil 1. Add all but ½ cup of the flour and sea salt to a food processor work bowl and pulse to mix. Set the reserved ½ cup flour aside; you will use it later to adjust the consistency of the dough. 2. Add the eggs and oil. Crack the eggs into a liquid measuring cup and check for and remove any stray shells. Add the oil; there is no need to stir. Pour the eggs and oil into the food processor work bowl. 3. Process until the flour is evenly moistened and crumbly; about 10 seconds. Test the dough by pinching it. If it is very sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, processing it until it is incorporated. After about 30 seconds total, the dough should come together in a loose ball and feel moist but not sticky. 4. Dust a clean surface with flour. Remove the ball of dough from the food processor and place it in the center of the floured surface. Using your hands, flatten the dough into a disk. 5. Using the heel of your hand, push the dough down and away from
you, fold in half back toward you, rotate a quarter turn, and repeat the kneading motion. After about 10 minutes, the dough should be smooth and elastic. 6. Shape the dough into a ball, cover with an overturned bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes before you roll it out. The gluten in the flour will relax, making the dough easier to roll. Do not let it rest longer or it will be too dry. 7. Cut the dough into four equal pieces and slip three pieces back under the bowl. Flatten the remaining piece into a disk and dust with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough away from you. Lift the dough, flour the work surface again if necessary, and turn the dough 90 degrees. Roll again. 8. Continue rolling the dough until you can see your hand through it. Transfer to a floured baking sheet and let rest for 10 to 20 minutes. Continue this process for the three remaining sections of dough. 9. Place the rolled-out pasta sheet on a clean work surface. Using a pizza cutter or pairing knife, cut the pasta sheet into sections, 4 to 5 inches wide by 14 inches long. 10. On a lightly floured work sur-
face, starting on a short side, roll up pasta sheet into a loose flat cylinder. Using a chef’s knife, cut the cylinder crosswise to create strands. To make pappardelle, cut at ¾-inch intervals. Gently shake out the noodles to separate them. 11. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Fresh pasta cooks extremely fast, test for doneness after 1 minute.
Pappardelle with Summer Squash and Arugula-Walnut Pesto
Ingredients ¾ cup walnut halves 3 cups packed arugula leaves 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, plus extra for garnishing ¾ cup good quality extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 teaspoon minced garlic ½ teaspoon Herbs de Province ½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus shavings for garnish kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 12 ounces pappardelle 2 firm, medium yellow squash 1 firm medium zucchini 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1. In a small skillet, toast the walnuts over moderately low heat until golden brown. Finely chop ½ cup of the walnuts; coarsely chop the rest for a garnish. 2. In a food processor, pulse 1 ½ cups of the arugula and 1 cup of basil until finely chopped. Scrape chopped herbs into a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic, Herbs de Province, grated cheese and finely chopped walnuts. Season pesto with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. 3. Using a mandoline, slice the squash and zucchini very thinly lengthwise. 4. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pappardelle until al dente. Drain the pasta and add to the pesto in the bowl. Add yellow squash and zucchini and toss to coat evenly. (The hot noodles will take the raw edge off of the vegetables). Stir in lemon juice and the remaining 1 ½ cups arugula, and again, season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Transfer the pasta to a platter, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with coarsely chopped walnuts, cheese shavings and basil.

OCFD shirt sale fundraiser for Surfers Healing (Aug. 12, 2016) When they aren’t fighting fires and saving lives, members of the Ocean City Fire Department are busy working on a project raising money for children with autism. The firefighters, who do multiple philanthropic projects throughout the year, are currently selling uniform shirts to their members and donating the proceeds to the Surfers Healing organization. “Each year, we design a uniform shirt to support a special charity and donate 100 percent of the proceeds to the cause,” said Ocean City Firefighter/Paramedic Ryan McCready. “This year, our members chose Surfers Healing, which provides surf camps to over 4,500 children with autism, giving them and their families a fun, engaging day at the beach.” Founded in California in 1996, Surfers Healing is the original surf camp for children with autism, offering camps across the country, as well as in Mexico and Puerto Rico.
Ocean City Fire Department is currently selling uniform shirts to their members and donating the proceeds to the Surfers Healing organization. Pictured, from left, are Firefighters/Paramedics Chris Murray, Freddie Senger, Sean Sullivan and Ben Waples.
“Our contribution will sponsor approximately 40 children with autism,” McCready said. “This means that nearly 40 families will have the ability to watch as their kids experience the therapeutic experience of the rhythms of the ocean. It’s a very touching event and the Ocean City Fire Department is thrilled to be a part of it.” The Surfers Healing camp will take place in Ocean City on Wednesday, Aug. 17. Registration to the event is closed, however; donations can be made by visiting www.surfershealing.org.

The Company Men perform at Freeman Stage, Saturday
(Aug. 12, 2016) The Joshua M. Freeman Foundation presents The Company Men — America’s favorite mashup group, who perform hits from the last six decades — at The Freeman Stage at Bayside in Selbyville, Delaware, 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13. The group features four performers who interweave hits from popular artists of yesteryear in multiple genres and today’s Top 40, which appeals to all ages. The show, “A Night of Hits,” will feature more than 60 songs in just 90 minutes. Members include Stuart Ambrose, Terron Brooks, Shawn Perucca and Brian Purcell. The group has performed on stages worldwide and has shared the stage with artists, such as Mariah Carey, Kool and the Gang, Daughtry and Colbie Caillat. This is the first performance by The Company Men at the Delaware beaches and will be a homecoming of sorts for at least one of its members, Ambrose, whose parents spend their summers in Bethany Beach. “It’s always a thrill to come back to a place you know so well,” Ambrose said, who now lives in Los Angeles. “[My family has] been coming to this area for nearly two decades. I was brought here when I was young and now I bring my children here. This place is truly something special. For
years my parents have asked me when we were going to play The Freeman Stage. They were thrilled when I told them this was the year.” The Company Men are a nationally recognized pop vocal group who have appeared on numerous national and regional television programs, including the Hallmark Channel’s Home and Family and the PBS Holiday Celebration to name a few. Featuring performers from the Broadway and National Touring companies of “Hairspray,” “The Lion King,” “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Camelot” and the Emmy Award winning NBC mini-series “The Temptations,” The Company Men bring audiences a signature throwback sound, a contemporary look and an all-star band, and together they have the widest demographic appeal of any touring act on the road today. Tickets cost $25 for all patrons, including children and infants. To purchase tickets, visit freemanstage.org or call 302-436-3015. For more information about The Company Men, visit www.thecompanymen.com. The Freeman Stage is a program of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation, who partners to present memorable performances and provide inspired arts education for all. This program is

Commentary
Tech growth leaves local govts. behind
The ability of online vacation rental companies and similar outlets to skirt local regulations is just another example of how rapidly changing technology is leaving local governments behind. This week, the discussion concerned Airbnb, whose labyrinthine management structure protects it from all manner of inquiries from the local level. Two years ago, it was Uber’s turn to defy the standard rules, as its sprawling model was deemed too large for anything less than the state’s regulatory embrace. Before that, it was internet-based hotel room resellers Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline and others in a dispute with governments over room and sales tax payments. Add to that the federal government’s assumption of authority over the use of small aircraft drones for commercial purposes in all jurisdictions, and anyone should be able to recognize the trend away from the days when local governments were truly in charge. While it might be argued that’s just the way things are and there’s nothing to be done about it, local governments need to find ways to protect the commercial ventures and business operators in their communities from unfair competition. In the case of rental license scofflaws, maybe having someone on staff periodically check online rental offerings against the list of licensees might pay off. Maybe the taxi medallion program ought to be reevaluated before less-regulated and less-expensive ridesharing programs such as Uber and Lyft become the better alternative for local operators. Maybe local governments need to do more to help businesses with good long-term prospects set up shop and succeed in their towns in the face of mounting outside competition. And that would be outside competition that doesn’t pay anywhere near the same in taxes and fees. The new business model is one that doesn’t have to be anywhere in particular or is structured in such a way that it’s beyond the scope of local authority. Towns and counties need to start thinking about how they are going to keep up.

PUBLIC EYE By Stewart Dobson Editor/Publisher The mystery obstruction lurking in the east channel of the Isle of Wight Bay in Ocean City is no mystery to me. Let’s look at the facts: 1. It’s moving. Why? Because it can. 2. It’s never been seen. Why? Because it doesn’t want to be seen … yet. 3. Very few flounder have been caught in the bay this summer. Why? They’ve been scared off. All this would lead any reasonable person to the obvious conclusion: someone, either purposely or inadvertently, has Released the Kraken. Although many people have said this obstacle is probably a construction dumpster, that’s what they want you to believe. After all, considering that summer business got off to a slow start this year and has been trying to catch up these last few weeks, the last thing anyone needs right now is coast-to-coast coverage of a kraken incident in these waters. We can only imagine how it would play in the national press: “In addition to various scuffles, T-shirt controversies and the inexplicable arrest of a couple on the beach discovered in the act of making a family in what’s billed as a family resort, Ocean City now has a kraken problem.” As we all know, it is illegal to release a kraken in this town without a permit, and even then such a permit would require a variance. This would assume, of course, that it passed muster with the various boards and commissions following an extended debate concerning what color kraken might best coordinate with various community designs and backdrops, should it be sighted. What we would not want is an attentiongrabbing public outcry, “Ewwwwww, that
kraken clashes with our seaside village motif!” Although people might scoff at the idea of a marine horror slithering to and fro in the 25-foot-deep channel, it is the only thing that can explain the scarcity of flounder this year, despite whole clouds of baitfish traveling in the bays with what would seem to be no fear of being consumed by their natural predator. According to information obtained online, where everything is true, otherwise people wouldn’t get their political news there, kraken do not gorge on baitfish, but prefer to eat boats and ships and their occupants, which, according to kraken lore, are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Failing that, they eat flounder. It also might explain why the White Marlin Open people, who hold their event at Harbour Island, wouldn’t let press photographers into the inner circle Tuesday night: concern that a kraken appearance at the marina might be documented, which would be bad for its image. It’s almost certain that this kraken hypothesis will be targeted by critics, who have other ideas, including the possibility that this so-called obstruction is actually being towed underwater by the Gill-man, formerly of The Black Lagoon. This is not true, of course, because that’s just pure fiction.

City honors retiring Deputy Fire Chief Barton for service Leaves OCFD after 33 yrs.; plans to teach at Wor-Wic and spend time with family
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (Aug. 12, 2016) The City Council chambers were packed with firefighters, city staff and officials, all of whom shared a bittersweet moment during Tuesday’s work session, as the mayor and council formally announced Deputy Fire Chief Charles “Chuck” Barton’s retirement. “You’ve gained the respect of everyone in this room, and believe me, that’s not the easiest thing to do, and you did it effortlessly,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. “To have everyone have confidence in you is a fabulous accomplishment over a number of years.” Barton started his career as a firefighter/paramedic in the resort as a seasonal hire in 1978 and was hired full-time in 1983. He then worked his way up the ranks and earned the title of lieutenant in 2000. Five years later, Barton was named deputy chief of the Fire/EMS career division in 2005. Barton was charged with managing administrative and operating roles with firefighters and played a major role in training and expanding the fire department.

Among his accomplishments, was his selection as the State of Maryland EMS Provider of the Year. He also received a Governor’s Citation and the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Maryland Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Reading from a proclamation, Meehan said the council and the town of Ocean City was “indebted to Chuck’s vision, commitment and contributions that will always be valued and remembered for propelling us to our present position as a first-class fire department.” “You have gained the respect of everyone in this room and to say that you will be missed is purely an understatement,” he said. He also gave Barton an engraved key to the city. Fire Chief Chris Larmore also offered words on Barton’s character. “I was thinking of all the good things I could say about Chief Barton, but then I would be here all afternoon,” he said to the public. “You will never hear a negative word about Chuck Barton. If there were three words — integrity, commitment and honesty — not one time in all the years I’ve known him, did he not look at those words as a priority to the town of Ocean City and the fire department.” He also noted that doing what was best was not always easy. “I witnessed that it was very difficult

for Chuck to do that because he is the kindest person you will meet,” Larmore said. “But not one time did he not follow what he truly knew what was in the best interest for this department.” Paramedic Association Foundation President Buck Mann also told of his experience working with Barton. “In the four years I’ve been president, Chuck is not only a pleasure to work with, but he truly understands the foundation’s mission,” Mann said. “But what impresses me the most is how he feels about his employees. He is very conscious about education. He is always bringing us requests to fund their schooling, which to me is a man that cares.” Following the showering of praise, Barton thanked his colleagues and em-
ployees with emotional words. “I have had an incredible career here with Ocean City. Whether I deserve to or not is a whole other thing. But my success is largely rooted in the success of my employees,” he said. “It’s really my people. I’m very proud of the service they provide to the town of Ocean City, and I try to empower them.” Barton’s last day as acting deputy chief is Aug. 31. Although the resort will be losing a high-ranking official, WorWic Community College will be gaining a faculty member, as Barton will start teaching with its EMS department there. In addition to training medical providers, Barton will be working on his graduate degree and spending more time traveling with his family.
