California-based autism nonprofit, Surfers Healing, sends expert surfers to the beach on 37th Street in Ocean City to teach 200 children how to surf on Wednesday, Aug. 13. Sebastian Poole, 8, experiences the thrill of surfing with a little help from a surfer friend.
When surf boarding brings healing Day for 200 children with autism to experience wave riding for firsthand fun
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) Surfers, volunteers and family members gathered on the beach at 37th Street Wednesday to cheer children on as they rode waves to shore during Ocean City’s fifth annual Surfers Healing, a day for children with autism to experience surfing firsthand. More than 100 volunteers helped host the event, which included surf rides with professional surfers, lunch, games and time to spend together as families.
For mother of two Carrie Zolan, it marked the third year she made the trip to Ocean City. “It’s truly amazing,” said Zolan, who brought her sons Lucas, 12, and Adam, 10, from Kensington for the day on the beach. Lucas is “very quiet and shy with a lot of things,” she said, “but when we get him on the water, he’s alive. You can just see a total change in him.” In addition to the sense of achievement he gets from surfing — something his mother has never done — Lucas receives cheers from the crowd and surfers. “They’re with these cool dudes who are telling them they’re cool,” Zolan said. “It’s an amazing environment.”
Surfers Healing started as a nonprofit 14 years ago after pro surfer and founder Izzy Paskowitz paddled out with his son Isaiah, diagnosed with autism at age 3. Seeing the profound effect surfing had on his son, Paskowitz and his wife Danielle founded Surfers Healing, which now hosts more than a dozen camps across the United States and Canada for thousands of children each year. For Ocean City volunteer and surfer Jim Jung, it’s one of the highlights of his summer. “I’ve been looking forward to it since the day after last year’s camp,” said the Baltimore native. “As soon as the kids hit that water, it’s like everySee RIDING Page 3

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) City Council adopted the final, and likely most critical, measure this week to further quantify how public resources are being used to sponsor the myriad of private events held in the resort. “We certainly don’t want to curb any activity in the Town of Ocean City,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic. “This is just looking to put a value on what our equipment and personnel are worth.” Following behind two policies which created new fee schedules for event applications and banner placement on city-owned hangers - earlier this month, Special Events Superintendent Frank Miller presented a new, comprehensive policy on for the use of town-owned equipment and staff. “There are costs associated with doing events, but we don’t have any type of policy stating that a promoter has to pay for those uses,” Miller said. “What you see here are competitive costs with other sources that private event promoters could go to for these same resources.” The newly-revised Town Asset Request forms specify the unit cost of any piece of town hardware, including maintenance, transport, and depreciation – traffic cones, per instance, are valued at $2 per day per cone. The city’s mobile stage is $350 per day. The intent, Miller noted, is not that the town will hold every event to the exact cost calculated on the TAR form. But it will give the council a baseline for weighing the investment in any given event versus the potential positive economic impact for the town. In many cases, it may push proSee RESORT Page 6

Continued from Page 1 thing washes away.” Ocean City’s Surfers Healing partnering coordinator Woody German agreed: “It’s magic out there.” “It’s basically a day when kids who might not get a chance to participate in a sport or activity get to be a rock star,” German said. “Everyone’s on the beach cheering for them.” He organizes the Ocean City camp alongside Alli Hoffman, Kelly Loeser and Kat Trammell. From T-shirts and lunch to gift bags and the surfing itself, everything is free for the families thanks to donors and sponsors. “We have a lot of local support to put this event on,” Hoffman said. The day isn’t only healing for the children, however, but helps their parents, too. “It’s one day where I don’t have to worry,” Zolan said. “Their differences don’t mean anything.” After three summers with Surfers Healing, she’s likely to be back again. “When my kids are on the water, they’re calm, they’re happy,” Zolan said. “There’s nothing better than seeing them smiling.” Visit www.surfershealing.org to learn more about Surfers Healing.

Snow Hill liquor store to move to county dept. office If costs of renovations spread over three years, move won’t hurt cash flow By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) The Snow Hill Shore Spirits on Market Street near Route 113 will move to the Snow Hill administrative offices and warehouse of the Worcester County Department of Liquor Control after minor renovations are made to that building. If the county is to remain in the retail liquor business in Snow Hill, it should move from its present site to that location, Robert Cowger, director of the Department of Liquor Control, told the Worcester County Commissioners on Aug. 5. On May 7, 2013, the commissioners approved Cowger’s suggestion to reject bids for the renovation of the Liquor Control building on Route 12. At that time, the project included the construction of approximately 2,000 square feet of interior store space, 400 square feet for restrooms and more. Three bids were received, but only two addressed the entire scope of work. Bids were for $184,596 and $238,700. Cowger believed costs could be reduced by increasing the amount of construction time out of peak season, reducing the scope of work and clarifying bid documents. During the Aug. 5 meeting of the Worcester County Commissioners, Cowger said he had taken another look at the project and downsized it to make it feasible. This time, he said, more reasonable proposals had been solicited from local contractors
and those resulted in a total project cost of $49,665, which includes a 10 percent contingency. The current lease for the Snow Hill Shore Spirits store is $1,600 monthly or $19,200 annually, but the lease has expired and the county has been renting the building on a month-to-month basis. If the costs of the renovations are spread over a three-year period, the move would not adversely affect cash flow and would result in significant annual cost savings after three years. Cowger acknowledged that the department would lose some of its highway business because of the move. In a related matter, the commissioners agreed to oppose the application of Tarak Patel, owner of the Town Market Basket on Market Street very close to the existing Shore Spirits store, for a class D beer, wine and liquor license. Patel wants to add liquor to his inventory of beer and wine. “No way there’s enough business,� for two liquor stores in Snow Hill, Cowger said. Snow Hill residents want the county to remain in the liquor business, but to do that, the county needs to be the only liquor store in town, he said. The Board of License Commissioners will consider Patel’s application during its Aug. 20 meeting. During the board’s June meeting, Patel’s application was denied. Former Snow Hill Mayor Stephen Mathews spoke in favor of it. He said a public need exists for liquor sales, particularly since the county-owned liquor store nearby on Market Street would be closing.

Resort expects ‘difficult decisions’ on area events Continued from Page 1 moters to arrange for services from outside sources, rather than from the town. “We would rather they go outside,� Miller said, “rather than using town resources that could or should be used for other things.� For example, Miller noted, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure has a Memorandum of Understanding with the town that waives any costs incurred by the event. But using the new guidelines, the event actually works out to a price tag of $6,100, Miller said. This doesn’t mean that Komen would be forced to pay this cost, given that is already has an MOU with the city, whose fee schedules supersede the guidelines for non-MOU events. Komen is also a charitable organization, and Miller’s suggested revision would include a recommended discount of 75 percent for non-profit organizations within Worcester County. Costs would also be tallied for town employees involved with special events, depending on the situation. “There are two different schools of thought,� Miller said. “One is that, if they’re on duty already and it’s part of what their expertise is, then there’s
Lar La arge rgest ges esst Gif Gift f Shop ft Sho Sh hop op In Oc Ocea cean cean an Ci City Cit ty
In T In The he 1 115 15th S St. t. Gold G old Coast Coast Mall Mall
no need to apply a cost for that employee. The other perspective is that, if the event requires the use of that person, and that person has inherent other duties that they cannot perform [the cost should be applied].� “Those two different schools of thought tend to apply appropriately depending on which department you’re talking about,� Miller said. “I think you’ll find Public Works will apply costs based on who’s assigned to the event, whereas if the police department already has personnel assigned to those hours for patrol and they have a person overseeing the event, they will not apply those costs.� Public Works maintenance staff, for instance would be charged at $27.21 per hour. Lifeguards, another often-consumed human resource for private events, would be $36.06 per hour. Under the guidelines passed this week, all tallied costs would be required to be presented to council, who would have the ultimate authority on what to bill the event. “I think it’s going to bring some difficult decisions to the council,� said Mayor Rick Meehan. “I think it’s going to be difficult to weigh the economic benefit against these costs.�

Extended stay hotels given lukewarm county reception By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) A proposed change to the county code that would permit extended stay hotels and motels in a general commercial district received a decidedly lukewarm reception from the Worcester County Planning Commission on Aug. 7. “We think there’s a huge need for this temporary housing,” attorney Hugh Cropper IV said on behalf of developers Jack Burbage and his son, Todd Burbage. Cropper said the need exists in the West Ocean City area. The Villa Nova site on Old Bridge Road, which has several small cottages and used to be owned by the Burbages, has a long waiting list of people wanting to live there, he said. The Burbages own approximately six or seven acres of commercially-zoned property between Old Bridge Road and Sunset Avenue and envision a complex, complete with laundry facilities, an arcade and a rental office, similar to what exists in some urban areas, Cropper said. County regulations permit up to six units per acre in an R-3 zone, a multifamily residential district, and up to eight units per acre in an R-4 zone, the general residential zone. Cropper proposed one unit per 1,000 square feet on Burbage’s property, which is zoned for general commercial, not residential use. It would not be cost effective, he said, to put six units on one acre. “It’s not commercially reasonable to rent those out,” Cropper said. The proposed units, at one per 1,000 square feet, “aren’t going to rent for high dollar,” he said. They could include up to three bedrooms and have a year-long lease, according to Cropper’s proposed text amendment. Some of the Planning Commission members had concerns about possible long-term rentals at what he proposed as a short-term rental complex that would provide places to live for seasonal workers. The unit size and year-long leases mentioned in Cropper’s proposed text amendment concerned some
county staff. “The 1,000 square-feet is bothersome to the staff,” said Phyllis Wimbrow, deputy director of the Department of Development Review and Permitting. That size, she said, is suitable for some single-family residences. If the proposal was for a bona fide extended stay hotel like the Microtel, “staff wouldn’t have near the heartburn. Something you rent for a year is not extended stay.” Cropper said he was amenable to altering the size of the units or to limit them to one-bedroom units. Planning Commission member Brooks Clayville said although there might be an overwhelming need for temporary housing, he was not sure the county was obligated to fulfill it in West Ocean City. He wanted to know what West Ocean City residents think of the proposal for such housing in that area. Planning Commission member Wayne Hartman was concerned about using a commercially-zoned property for residential use and Planning Commission member Rick Wells was concerned that the proposed text amendment would apply to every property in the county zoned as a general commercial district. Cropper said he would be amenable to reducing the maximum size of the units to 800 or fewer square feet, limiting the units to one bedroom or a studio apartment and reducing the rental time to six months. “To me, that’s not a true residential use,” Cropper said. “To me, a residential use is a single family home where people live.” Despite that, Cropper said he wanted to proceed with the text amendment as originally written, so the Planning Commission considered it and voted unanimously, with Chairwoman Marlene Ott absent, to send an unfavorable recommendation about its adoption to the Worcester County Commissioners. After more discussion, the commission members voted unanimously to send a letter to the county commissioners about their concerns about unit size and length of rentals and possible solutions for both.

Arcade owners express concern over regs State amusement industry fears only lip service will come instead of answers
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) With the public comment period for Maryland’s new arcade game regulations officially passed, the state’s amusement industry association fears that their concerns over the new rules will only be given lip service by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission, instead of the full rewrite the industry desires. “As of July 28, the 45-day postpublishing period is over. It’s now in the lottery commission’s court,” said Larry Bershtein, President of the Maryland Amusement and Music Operators’ Association. “They can enact these regulations as written – that’s entirely up to them.” “We’re not going to strategize our next step until we see what their next step is.” When first revealed, the commission’s proposed regulatory language caused a scare amongst arcade operators who would be subject to a $50 annual fee on each “electronic gaming device” they owned, as well as transfer and testing costs. But despite the fiscal hysteria, the real issue with the regulations,
Bershtein said, is the lack of proce- own definitions,” Behrstein said. “I dural clarity and precision for opera- don’t think, at this point, that they tors to know what will be expected of [the commission] really understand them. what it is they’ve written.” In fact, the regulations contain While acknowledging that it is two competing definitions of what an aware of MAMOA’s confusion, the “electronic gaming device” actually LGCC was not prepared to comment is, something that MAMOA has not on any possible revisions. yet gotten a resolution on from the “The agency is still reviewing those state. written public comments and we’d Under Chapter 1 of the state’s pro- like to give them the attention they posal, an electronic gaming device deserve,” said commission specifically excludes spokesperson Cara “skills-based ole Everett. “Thereamusement device,” ‘The agency is still reviewing fore, we are not which is later de- those written public comments able to discuss fined as a machine them at this point. which awards to- and we’d like to give them the The review should attention they deserve.’ kens, tickets, or be complete someprizes of less than commission spokesperson time in early fall.” $30 in value.

value approved by the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission through regulation.” Thus, MAMOA argues, any such device with prizes of minimal value is de-facto legal and not subject to regulation, per the intent of the Assembly. However, every device – even those with prizes under $30 – would still be required to register with the commission under the proposed regulations, although no fee has been set. Thus, the association maintains, the commission has essentially set “minimum value” as “no value.” “One of the biggest hurdles we admitted we each had to deal with was what does ‘minimal value’ mean,” Bershtein said. “The one thing the commission insisted on was that we’re going to nail that down with a dollar value. But now it apparently means everything. Each iteration has gotten to be a worse and worse deal.” Additionally, vagaries such as “other standards defined by the Commission” or “other information required by the Commission” essentially eliminate due process or any reasonable expectation as to what will and will not be satisfactory, Bershtein said. “Nobody is going to be coming in with new games because there’s no way to know going in if you even have See NEW Page 9

Group to focus on properly enforcing code violations
(Aug. 15, 2014) With the number of summer rentals at its peak, various town departments have joined forces to address property issues related to noise, sanitation, overcrowding and building code violations. The Property Review and Enforcement Strategies for Safe-housing (PRESS) Committee is a group of town officials authorized to address communitywide quality of life issues. The group, consisting of members from the police, building, zoning, fire marshal and finance departments, functions as a task force designed to meet regularly and discuss civil and criminal code violations within the community. “The Committee identifies problems in a coordinated manner and responds with pro-active enforcement,” said Planning and Community Development Assistant Director Blaine Smith. “Our main goal is to ensure the safety of residents and visitors by making sure structures and living conditions are code compliant. In all, we are working together to assure Ocean City remains a livable community for residents.” In an effort to hold properties to a high standard and ensure code compliance, city agencies issue citations for various violations, including repeated violations of overcrowding, fire and life safety, noise, and other housing violations. P.R.E.S.S. members are hopeful that addressing complaints on a case-by-case basis will improve living conditions for residents and renters. In addition, the committee aims to improve structure and esthetics of buildings within the community. The P.R.E.S.S. Committee encourages all community members to report properties that they feel may be in violation of a safety, building or health code. Citizens with complaints or concerns are asked to contact Smith at 410-289-8855.
New regulations from state bother arcade owners Continued from Page 8 a chance,” he said. “It’s not worth the risk to develop something that’s ultimately up to the whim of the commission.” This could complete stagnate the industry in Maryland, with particular impact to amusement-centric locations such as Ocean City’s Boardwalk. This is admittedly a worst-case scenario, but one that could be borne out if a reasonable regulatory framework is not developed. “For all the push-back we’ve gotten on this, no one’s ever said ‘you’re wrong,’” Bershtein said.

Three nabbed in bus driver assault All from York, Pa., teens arrested by OCPD officers, State Fugitive Task Force By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) Three suspects in the robbery of a municipal bus driver in the early morning hours of June 14 have been arrested. Ocean City Police Major Crimes detectives, with assistance from the York County, Pa., United States Marshals Fugitive Task Force, arrested three teenagers, all from York County, On the day of the crime, at approximately 1 a.m., Ocean City police responded to an assault that had already occurred at Worcester Street and Baltimore Avenue on a municipal bus. Officers determined that three young men boarded the bus and a verbal altercation started with the bus driver about the cost of the bus tickets. The fare is $3 for each passenger, who must pay the exact fare. As the argument escalated, at least one of the suspects assaulted the bus driver with an object, possibly the microphone used for announcing stops, robbed him of several bus tickets and 3

fled the scene. The bus tickets would have little value because they are valid only for 24 hours. Cash on the municipal buses is securely locked in a box with a very small opening at the top for cash. The bus driver was treated on the scene by Ocean City EMS and taken to Atlantic General Hospital for nonlife threatening injuries. One suspect, Marquez Quaran Ellis, 19, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, trespassing and resisting arrest that morning and released, according to Lindsay O’Neal, public affairs specialist for the police department. Another suspect, Josiah Louis Mincer III, 18, was arrested July 3, and has been extradited to Maryland. Later in July, a Worces-

Trailer parks seek revisions about development code Mandate charges roof lines be built to prohibit pitch
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission will be holding a public hearing later this year regarding request by trailer home development owners to prohibit lengthwise roof pitches. The commission was petitioned by Glenn Kurka, President of the Isle of Wight Trailer Park, to adopt a mandate that “the roof line of a mobile home must be constructed in relationship to the width of the unit and not with the length of the unit.” City Zoning Administrator R. Blaine Smith explained that, in the last decade, the city has amended it’s code for Mobile Home (MH) zoning districts to allow homes to be built in place, rather than having to be selfcontained trailers. The roof line limit for such homes was established at a 7-12 pitch, Smith said, allowing some habitable second-story space. “What has happened is that we have amended the restrictions to MH to say that they can have habitation in the attic space,” Smith said. But while this was intended to allow one-and-a-half story redevelopments on former trailer-home lots, some owners have attempted to build roofs angled not on the width of the trailer, but on the length, creating a giant peak that would tower over their neighbors. “It would essentially site like a two- or three-story house,” Smith said. Nobody has yet done so, but only because of private deed restrictions in the trailer parks themselves. “We had a couple people in our park that want two-story buildings,” Kurka said. “Our language in the park policy agrees with [not allowing it], but all it takes is somebody on the board who wants to change that.” “If the code addresses it from the city’s standpoint, no matter what the attitude is from us, you would prevent it from happening,” Kurka said. Montego Bay Association Secretary Tony Kendrick offered that his association’s bylaws allow members to build their roofs in any configuration – but they may not be habitable above the height of a regular, widthoriented gable roof. “This is what we’ve always presumed it was supposed to be,” said Commission Chair Pam Buckley. Commissioner Lauren Taylor asked, if it was simply a clarification of the intended code, if a public hearing was needed. “It would be a substantive change if they can get away with doing it right now,” said Board Attorney Will Esham.

City finds little wrong in bridge freeze procedures Town debriefing reports not much more could be done
ZACK HOOPES/OCEAN CITY TODAY
Traffic begins to turn around following more than an hour of delay at the Route 50 bridge on Saturday, July 26. The State Highway Administration expects to make additional repairs over the next several weeks to rusted joints on the span.
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) A debriefing to discuss the city’s response to the July 26 Route 50 Bridge malfunction, held last Friday, revealed little that could’ve been done further from a public safety standpoint. But what the city did grapple with, during the five hours in which the drawbridge was stuck in the open position, was a lack of access to its own electronic signage. “Those signs are actually not easily accessible to us,” said city Communications Manager Jessica Waters, referring to the programmable signs at the convention center on 40th Street, the West Ocean City Park and Ride, and the tennis center at the Route 90 Bridge, which were not able to display emergency messages until well into the incident. Apparently, the city’s electronic signs – which have been installed piecemeal over the years – are each run via an independent dial-up connection to sign-formatting software installed on a single computer used by an employee in the convention center. If this person is not available during evening or weekend emergencies, someone will have to gain remote access – but this requires them to have the necessary login data, and be near a computer of their own with remote login capabilities. “Basically, someone needs to be at that computer, or be at their computer,” said city Webmaster Bill Funkhouser. “The plan, I believe, is to get those sign programs on our network.” If migrated to the city’s main system, the sign programs could be made directly accessible from the city’s central network, which is easily accessed by any employee. “Improving access to those is something we need to prioritize,” said Mayor Rick Meehan. Waters also noted that he State Highway Administration would be added to the town’s Joint Information Committee, which was established after Hurricane Irene for potential evacuation purposes. The committee includes a number of local business associations and civic groups. The JIC was not called during the bridge incident, Waters said, but probably would be in the future with the addition of the SHA. A meeting of the committee is scheduled for Sept. 3. Officials also noted that the city’s fledgling FM radio station, which runs on the 99.5 and 100.3 wavelengths, was extremely helpful in broadcasting an emergency message advising motorists to detour to Route 90 or Route 54 in Delaware. But the city’s promotion of the FM station has so far been limited See LITTLE Page 16

Continued from Page 14 “We need to start educating the public that we have that,” said Emergency Services Director Joe Theobald. The city is also in the early stages of planning for the replacement of its main emergency dispatch radio system, with a cost currently projected at over $9 million. City Electronic Services Manager Bob Dimaio is currently putting together a staff committee to review options. “We take for granted our communications in a situation like this, but that’s not always the case everywhere,” Dimaio said. “Please take this process seriously…so that our next radio system is as good or better than what we have now.” Through said radio system the city’s fire and police departments were able to coordinate a number of response options, although no major emergencies occurred during the bridge malfunction. “At no point did we believe our citizens or responders would be in a position they couldn’t handle,” said Ocean City Fire Department Chief Chris Larmore. Critically, the department was able to quickly make arrangements to call in additional ambulances, as well as securing boat transport using its own fire boat as well as private vessels. Further, the department was prepared to implement its plans to use the Boardwalk as a fire access lane, given that north-south passage would’ve otherwise been impossible for large equipment. The SHA performed repairs to the bridge this week on Wednesday and Thursday, closing one eastbound lane of the span. Additional partial closures are expected later this fall and winter. The July 26 malfunction was caused by breakage at one of the four points where the driveshaft of the motors, which articulate the bridge, connect to the two leaves of the span itself. The initial failure was patched by welders early in the morning of July 27. However, SHA contractors will be cutting out and replacing all four contact points, which have suffered heavy rusting. The malfunction also served as a renewed call by city officials for the SHA to fast-track the dualization of Route 90, which served as a detour during the closure. While the construction of a new Route 50 Bridge is possible, the state would need to acquire land to build a new span parallel to the current structure, making the project parameters much more difficult to gauge. Route 90 already has the right-ofway needed to build additional lanes onto the existing bridges, however, making it a much more readily-available improvement. “If Route 50 had been down during an evacuation, we would be in bad shape,” Meehan said. “I think this shows how important it is to have the extra capacity on Route 90.”

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) After a contentious election, the two newest members of the Ocean Pines Association Board took a mostly conciliatory tone after the community released voting results on Saturday, Aug. 9. Pat Renaud and Dave Stevens, who ran as a voting bloc against members of the current board and its relationship with General Manager Bob Thompson, received 1,767 votes and 1,738 votes, respectively, handily defeating their opponents. Incumbent Jeff Knepper received 1,392 votes, incumbent Terri Mohr received 1,323 votes and newcomer Lawrence Lee, running as a moderate voice, received 456 votes. Renaud and Stevens will serve three-year terms on the seven-member board. While not calling it an outright mandate, Renaud said he and Stevens had an idea of what their first move as newly elected officials could be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to look at some organizational changes and make the control go back to the board â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very clear about that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both agree on that issue. We certainly want to make sure that things are being run smoothly and that the board is in control of what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be in control of.â&#x20AC;? Stevens formerly served on the board, but had to step down several years ago because of term-limit restrictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think (the election) confirmed our sense of the dissatisfaction of a great number of people in Ocean Pines,â&#x20AC;? Stevens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made the issues as plain as we could â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some would say maybe too plain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but we were trying to do that. If you think

Renaud, Stevens, will serve three-year terms on board Continued from Page 18 change or challenge the contract. “I have no preconceived notion about that,” said Renaud. “I went on record as saying it was excessive – it was higher than it should be, particularly for the area we live in – but as far as changing is concerned contracts are not that easy to change. I think if we’re going to keep the contract as it is we’ve got to make sure that whatever bonuses are built in there are actually earned and not just given automatically.” “Despite what some people really want I think a contract is a contract,” Stevens said. “I do think there are issues in the general manager’s contract that need to be clarified, and hopefully we’ll be doing that. But if you’re looking for radical changes I don’t foresee that happening.” Renaud does not believe the contentious nature of the election will hamper his ability to work with the remaining members of the OPA Board. “I know that my running mate had been there before and there was some contention between him and some of the other people, which I’m not a part of,” he said. “I talked to the other people and said, ‘I don’t have a bone to pick and I want to deal with every-
body on an equal basis.’ As far as I’m concerned I vote the way things should be as opposed to what anybody else thinks. If I can be, I like to be the conciliatory person that says, ‘let’s sit down and solve the problems and let’s not talk about personalities.’” “I’m willing to reach out any way that I can,” Stevens said. “I’ll take any advice that I can, and I’ll listen to what they have to say. But I can’t sweep aside what I’ve observed in the last four years either. I’m hoping everything works out in a reasonable way.” Stevens said his first order of business would be to clarify the requirements of the board with respect to general manager reporting, including the time limits, content and format of the reporting. “It sounds like it’s almost trivial, but it isn’t,” he said. “Then there are ongoing issues that have to be addressed. On my list are the capital improvements. I have said during the election that I believe the board has to take responsibility for that, and that’s what I intent to do, hopefully getting some support from within the community and with some cooperation from the general manager and his staff.”

Case dropped in assault aftermath By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) Two men, including a former lacrosse player for Salisbury University, were not prosecuted this week in connection with a brutal beating in Ocean City last summer. Neither Wade William Korvin, 21, of Odenton nor Terrance James Webster, 21, of Upper Marlboro, were in Circuit Court in Snow Hill when Deputy State Attorney Abigail Marsh said the cases were being nolle prossed (not prosecuted). “The Ocean City Police Department did a commendable job, but still, unfortunately, there are too many issues to have a successful prosecution at this time,” Marsh said after leaving the courtroom. On Aug. 18, 2013, Korvin and Webster allegedly body slammed and punched a man while he was semi-conscious, creating “a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury,” according to the Feb. 24 grand jury indictment. The altercation took place near 17th Street and St. Louis Avenue on Aug. 18, 2013. Police arrived quickly on the scene, but were unable to locate any suspects. The victim was taken to Johns Hopkins Medical Center Surgical Intensive Care Unit in Baltimore. Months later, he continued to suffer from the long-

tern effects of the assault, according to the Ocean City Police Department. During the ensuing months, detectives from the Criminal Investigation Division’s Major Crimes Unit identified Korvin and Webster as the two suspects involved in the assault. They presented the case to the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office,
which secured grand jury indictments against both men. Korvin was on the lacrosse team at Salisbury University as a sophomore last year and had been a varsity letter winner in both football and lacrosse at Arundel Senior High School, where he was on the honor roll. Earlier, while a student at a differ-
ent high school, Korvin was charged with six counts each of first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment after allegedly throwing rocks at people from a moving vehicle, according to eyeonannapolis,com. The juvenile justice system handled that case and Korvin was placed on probation.

Henna tattoo vendors out, pole dancer in By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) Cut off one head, another takes its place. Lost amongst the media circus surrounding the Boardwalk pole dancer was the fact that the city took a massive step this week toward eliminating another type of street performance – one that has done much more harm than a girl with a pole could ever do. But for the majority of business owners, the volume of performers – regardless of their nature – is the major point of concern, and the city now appears to be at a major crossroads as to the next step. “Everyone thought the henna tattoo guys were going to be ‘the issue’ this summer,” said Greg Shockley,
owner of Shenanigan’s on Fourth Street. “And then the pole dancer showed up. The question now is what’s next.”
THE HENNA MENACE The Ocean City Police Department confired this week that it had completed a federally assisted roundup of illegal henna tattoo stands on the Boardwalk. The stands have been a major sore spot for Boardwalk businesses who also offer henna body art - but for a price, as opposed to the “street artist” stands that set up on public property and work for tips. There has also been a long-running suspicion among merchants that the henna stands are being run by a central distributor, who is illegally re-
cruiting foreign workers to do the art and taking a cut of their tips. That suspicion appears to have been at least partially verified this week, as the OCPD assisted federal investigators in issuing formal warnings to stand operators who were in the country on F-1 student visas. “Basically what it means is they can go to school in America, but they’re not allowed to work,” said OCPD Public Information Officer Lindsay O’Neal. “We did an operation Saturday night. Basically, we went out with federal investigators and gave all the visa holders warnings for running a business on the Boardwalk.” As opposed to the more common J-1 summer visa - which allows foreign students, who are enrolled in school in their home country, to work
and travel in the U.S. for a three-tofour month window – the F-1 visa is good for several years while students attend school in the states. F-1 students are allowed to work, but only in jobs provided and approved by their university, which obviously does not include henna stands. Many, reportedly, are brought into the county for brief stints of religious education, and are then forced to ride out the rest of their visa working menial jobs. “There’s a database where the State Department can see and track the visas,” O’Neal said. “There was an investigation into some people by our officers, and we interviewed all of these people and gave their information to the federal investigators.” If the henna stands return, the stu-

Pole dancer Chelsea Plymale performs Wednesday night on the Boardwalk at Second Street amidst rising tension in the resort over the proliferation and content of street performers.
Dancer: ‘No one’s done this before. This will be different’ dents will receive a $1,000 fine – and more importantly stand a chance to have their visas revoked. In terms of the purported “kingpin” behind the operation, the OCPD is still working on it. “We’ve definitely heard that rumor,” O’Neal said. “We’re still investigating it.” ‘I KNOW I’M PROTECTED’ Ironically, at the exact same time on Saturday night that the OCPD was rounding up F-1 students, pole
dancer Chelsea Plymale was setting up for her first public performance on the Boardwalk at Second Street. The motivation was less to titillate, and more to provide a performance that breaks the monotony of t-shirt shops and costumed Disney characters that line the Boardwalk. “I was like, ‘hey, no one’s done this before. This will be different,’” said Plymale, 27, a nine-year veteran of exotic dancing. “I didn’t think there’d be this much negative. That’s notSee POLE Page 24

Pole dance not violation says OC Continued from Page 23 what I was intending.” Even though Plymale’s performance is, in and of itself, far less onerous than the organized exploitation of student immigrants, it has garnered far more attention from the town’s traditionally conservative visitor base. As far as the city is concerned, there’s not much to be done. “Admittedly, there are people who find it offensive,” said City Solicitor Guy Ayres. “But just because they find it offensive doesn’t mean it isn’t protected by the Constitution.” In 2011, the city was hit with a lawsuit from Boardwalk spray-paint artist Mark Chase in conjunction with the Rutherford Institute, claiming that the town’s permitting process for street performers impeded free expression. If the town had no compelling reason to require permits other than for the sake of control itself, it was argued, it was a violation of the First Amendment. Although the city may still restrict placement of performers for public safety and emergency access, the permitting scheme was thrown out by U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Hollander. “The decision by Judge Hollander talks about what is protected speech and gives some examples of what are not,” Ayres said. Making unique arts and crafts is protected – selling microwaves, for example, is not. A little over a year after the Chase case, the city was hit with another suit by the American Civil Liberties Union and Boardwalk violinist William Hassay, who claimed that the use of a 30-foot noise restriction by the OCPD to stop one of his performances was arbitrary and also in violation of the Constitution. Again, Hollander found the city’s regulations to be too non-specific. In order to restrict free speech, the policy would need to be unbiased and uniformly applicable, which it was not. “As far as we can tell at this point, there’s no violation of any of the regulations that are still on the books,” Ayres said of Plymale. “Basically, the police have given her the green light until we have reason to believe otherwise.” Pole dancing, in and of itself, does not legally qualify as an obscenity, Ayres said. Plymale’s act goes a long way to not be provocative. She remains as clothed as possible, although one needs a certain amount of skin contact to “stick” to the pole. Watching her performance – as this reporter has – her moves are generally more acrobatic than sexual. “There are a lot of things I would do behind closed doors that I’m not going to do out here,” said Plymale, whose main employment is at a Washington, DC strip club. “I know I’m protected under the Constitution,” she said. “I have a right See PLYMALE Page 28

Resort gearing up for Hotel Week as summer’s end nears Susan Jones expects event to be biggest yet with 39 businesses participating
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) As the summer winds down, hotels are gearing up for Ocean City Hotel Week, a two-week event offering guests special deals on lodging Aug. 17-28. With 39 businesses participating this year, the fifth annual Hotel Week will be the biggest yet, said Susan Jones, Executive Director for the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association. “Our members are really aware of the promotion now and the town has done a nice job in helping us promote it to the visitors,” Jones said. HMRA members launched Hotel Week in 2010 to help catch the last of the summer rush as families gear up for the new school year and visitation drops in the resort. “It’s historically the time when
Ψϯ Z͕ t/E Θ K <d />^ , >& WZ/ WW d/ Z^
business drops off because that’s when schools go back and colleges go back,” Jones said. “It’s when hotels need it the most.” Participating businesses will offer “beach bargains” of 15-25 percent off standard rates or an extra night free for those who stay from three to six nights. Some restrictions apply. “It’s been very successful,” Jones said of the two-week deal. “It does seem to help (with business).” A full schedule of events, many of them free, also helps draw visitors to town during Hotel Week. New this year will be OC Sandfest, a free event featuring professional sand sculptors downtown. “There’s an added attraction this year that we didn’t have in the past,” Jones said. “It helps with our businesses.” Visit www.oceancityhotelweek.com for a full listing of participating hotels and their special deals. eEvents taking place during Ocean City Hotel Week, Aug. 17-28, include: • Tall ship El Galeon Andalucia:

The term is ‘pole dancer,’ please Many older women inquire about athleticism, aerobics of new-found Bdwk. dance
By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) If you think the adolescent testosterone is thick during Senior Week, I could’ve cut it with a knife Wednesday night. When I arrived, the crowd surrounding the Boardwalk’s newfound “Pole Doll” – the nom-de-guerre of DC-based exotic dancer Chelsea Ply-
male – was almost entirely men, ages 15-25. They were like a pimply-faced pack of wolves. Chelsea, however, doesn’t skip a beat. I can’t count how many times I hear “dude, it’s a stripper!” yelled
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK into the crowd. Each time, without pause, she yells back “I’m a pole dancer,” or “yes, I’m a stripper, but not tonight.” Once the filming stops and the
younger men discover that they’re not getting the show they’re looking for, the crowd thins. If a curiouslooking group of people passes by, Chelsea talks to them for a bit about pole dancing and does a few moves. Most are older women, actually, and some inquire about pole aerobics classes. They take a picture with her, give her a few dollars, and move on. “I’ve always said the highest form of ignorance is judging something you know nothing about,” Chelsea See POLE Page 30

Plymale says act not provocative Continued from Page 24 to be here. But I’m not here to antagonize anyone.”
RELUCTANT TO ENGAGE Boardwalk merchants are understandably wary of Plymale’s performance – less her personally, and more about the precedent it will set as to how far the proliferation of street performers can be taken. Costumed cartoon characters, in particular, have flooded the Boardwalk this year, creating congestion in front of businesses and driving out other long-time performers. “Only in the past couple weeks have we gotten the costume performers up this far,” said Bob Givarz, owner of the Alaska Stand at Ninth Street. “It’s usually just a local guy who’s a one-man band, but now they’re crowded into this street end.” Many merchants contest that the costumed characters are actually protected speech, since the costumes are not unique. “I have less of a problem with a guy making his own costume,” Shockley said, “where you’ve invested the time and effort to make something of your own. If you just got it off Ebay, whose expression is that? It’s certainly not the guy who’s getting the money in the tip bucket.”

AUGUST 15, 2014
Pole dancer’s only critics come from social networks Continued from Page 28 says. “The only negative reactions I’ve gotten have been through social media. No one’s been nasty to my face.” Plymale, it would seem, has become a victim of the Facebook-industrial complex. The implication that a “stripper” is violating America’s hallowed vacationing grounds is an easy thing to grab onto, especially if you spend most your day trolling the Internet looking for things to be outraged about. In reality, the performance is pretty tame. Maybe I’m getting old, or just jaded, but it’s far more acrobatic than erotic. I’ve seen more lewd things happen in a Marshall’s. It is, however, a pretty impressive feat of athleticism – although this is coming from a man who gets winded exiting his automobile. In fact, there’s a far more erotic performance happening about 30 feet away. Another young woman has a sort of seesaw device with a board on top a cylinder of foam or plastic. She performs various moves while balancing back and forth, sometimes with a hula-hoop. There’s a lot of gyrating and deep squatting involved. You get the picture.
I remark to my associates that it’s all about the connotation of pole dancing. Chelsea could be wearing a burqa and still be more titillating to most young men than if seesaw girl was buck naked, simply due to the cultural implications of the pole itself. They concur. Chelsea’s boyfriend, Matt, stands off to the side with his bicycle and cart he uses to haul the portable pole. It has a weighted base that un-bolts into sections. Chelsea uses it for private parties. “I really like it down here, much better than DC,” Matt says. “Up there, I have to walk her out of the club, make sure nobody follows us home – people at strip clubs are crazy. Down here, everyone is laid back and you can just chat with them.” Both are keenly aware, though, that they have become anathema to City Hall. But they didn’t bring the crowd – it was already here, and already interested, apparently, in pole dancing. “Have you seen the t-shirts they sell here?” Chelsea asks, rhetorically. “Have you ever gone to the underage club downtown and watched the old men ogle the teenage girls? But yet somehow I’m the bad guy.”

POLICE/COURTS
Uninvited guest A 31-year-old Baltimore man was charged Aug. 10 with disorderly intoxication, trespassing and second-degree assault after allegedly trying to enter rooms at a Fifth Street hotel and hitting a woman in one of them. When police went to the site at about 4:45 a.m., a crowd of people were pointing at Paul Matthew McDaniel, whose face was covered in blood. McDaniel told police that the people in the crowd were all staying in one unit and they had invited him into it, but then attacked him after he said something to one of the women. He also said he had no place to stay in Ocean City. The woman told police that McDaniel had approached their room uninvited several times. He tried to sneak through the open front door when one of the occupants left. He then said something rude to her and punched her in her left arm.
She punched him in the face and pushed him backward. He punched her in the arm again. Another occupant told police that McDaniel was constantly reaching in his pocket in a suspicious manner and asked him if he had a weapon. Police did not find a weapon on him.
Female altercation Two women were arrested Aug. 10 after reportedly punching each other outside a Wicomico Street bar. When police responded to the call, they saw approximately 30 people on the sidewalk. Many of them were trying to restrain and separate the two women. When an officer got between them, one woman, Nichole E. Baracco, 28, of Willards, threw four punches at the other woman, Dottie Marshall, 32, of Fort Washington. The officer told Baracco to put her hands behind her back, but she
refused and pulled away. She went into the bar and slammed the door. The officer followed her, put his arms around her mid-section and put her in a restraint hold. He then forced her outside, where she and Marshall reportedly grabbed ahold of each other’s clothes and hair. The officer then tackled Baracco to the ground and another officer tackled Marshall to the ground. Marshall allegedly refused to put her hands behind her back and kept trying to grab Baracco’s legs as she tried crawling toward her. It took more than one officer to restrain both women so they could be handcuffed. They were each charged with disorderly conduct, affray and resisting arrest.
Room thefts A 22-year-old Washington, D.C., woman was charged with theft and other crimes after allegedly reserving hotel rooms and paying for them with credit cards that did not belong to her. On June 12, police were called to an 18th Street hotel where they were told that a caller, later identified as Rasheeta Dorethea Davis, called and requested five rooms to be booked for her at a cost of $2,803.96. She paid for the rooms using a Visa credit card. When she entered the hotel, Davis presented her D.C. driver’s license, but was not asked to present the credit card. Police later found that the address listed on the room reservation did not match the address on her license. The
address on the credit card was in Minnetonka, Minnesota and her physical address was in Washington, D.C. Hotel staff became aware that the charges had been denied when they received their bank statement for May. The bank informed them that the charges were being reported as fraudulent. The credit card was a corporate credit card issued to a woman with the Minnetonka Public School system. The credit card’s rightful owner lives in Greensboro, N.C. Davis was charged with using another’s credit card and charging $1,000 to less than $10,000, using another’s credit card and charging less than $1,000, theft from $1,000 to less than $10,000 and theft of less than $1,000.
Driver pulls over On August 08, at approximately 2:20 a.m., a Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputy was stationary monitoring traffic on Route 90 in the area of Route 113 near Berlin when a vehicle that was approaching from behind the deputy pulled off the roadway onto the shoulder. The driver turned off the headlights and activated the vehicle’s emergency flashers. The deputy approached the vehicle and made contact with the driver, identified as Stephanie Ward, 30, of Elkridge, who said she had realized she was too intoxicated to drive so she pulled over. She did poorly on field sobriety tests and was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

Ryn Barnett-Rohe opened OC Beach Wax in the Ocean City Square shopping center on 120th Street last month, bringing a full-service waxing studio to uptown Ocean City.
Shop tackling body hair at its root OC Beach Wax brings town only full-service waxing studio at uptown location
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) A new uptown business is tackling body hair at its root. OC Beach Wax opened uptown three weeks ago, bringing Ocean City its only full-service waxing studio. With services from eyebrow and bikini waxes to waxing for men, facials and even vajazzling, it’s bringing hair care to the forefront. “Waxing seemed to be an afterthought” at nail parlors and hair salons, said Ryn Barnett-Rohe, owner of the 120th Street studio, leaving customers with burnt or poorly shaped brows. “They’re scared and anxious when they walk in the door. They leave here with a completely different attitude,” Rohe said. A certified aesthetician from the Delaware Learning Institute, she said the key is to get the wax the right temperature. “It doesn’t hurt that bad at all,” she said. “The pain is gone in two seconds.”
CLARA VAUGHN/OCEAN CITY TODAY
OC Beach Wax offers services from eyebrow and bikini waxes to waxing for men and facials in its studio in the Ocean City Square shopping center on 120th Street.
Rohe specializes in eyebrows at her studio, which offers both brow waxing and tinting. She takes the time to show customers how she’ll shape them first. But, she added, waxing isn’t just for women. “We’ve had a handful of guys come in already who were completely shocked by how much better they feel without hair on their backs and
chests,” she said. “It’s becoming very popular with young men now.” The former operator of Spa on the Go mobile spa service, Rohe most recently served as a manager at Si’Culi Italian restaurant in Berlin. She decided to go back to the beauty business, though, and began the search for her own studio. Rohe found her uptown location at Ocean City Square See SHOP Page 39
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) The Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP) is a home loan program that can open up the door to homeownership for many Marylanders who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to buy their first home. This program, also referred to as the MD Bond program in the industry, offers a safe and secure loan from Maryland’s Housing Finance Agency. The program has several important features including: down payment and closing cost assistance, competitive 30year fixed-rate loans, and free/low cost home buyer education. MMP is running some specials here on the Eastern Shore: Worcester, Wicomico, and Somerset counties are all eligible to receive a .25 percent lower rate than the current published rates. Currently, that special rate is 3.875 percent (interest rates vary day by day). These loans must be reserved with the state of Maryland by Aug. 19. Veterans loans, or VA loans, are also are getting a .25 percent lower rate with MMP. There are criteria such as household income that will affect eligibility for these loans. If your household size is one to two people, you may make up to $88,400 annually; if your household size is three or more, you may make up to $101,300 annually to qualify. There are some exceptions based on where you are looking to purchase, and interested buyers may visit the state’s website at mmp.maryland.gov. Purchasers must also intend to live in the home, not have owned a home in previous three years, and complete a Homebuyer Education Course. MMP also has the Maryland Mortgage Credit for a fee to the buyer/seller that gives a credit on their taxes. This is a true credit on the tax bill when filing taxes and it is based on the interest paid on the mortgage. There is also a product called the Down Payment Assistance soft See MMP Page 39

Shop offers waxing benefits REAL ESTATE REPORT MMP opens door to ownership from uptown OC location Continued from Page 38 easily, she said, adding “it was more like it found me.” With a few adjustments and a third appointment room added, she was ready for her soft opening last month. When she opened the studio, Rohe wanted to focus on waxing and facials — two services that are hard to find in the resort. “You can go anywhere to get a massage. We wanted to focus on things you can’t get anywhere else,” she said. Rohe aims to keep OC Beach Wax open year-round and has discounts and special offers for locals in the works. She’s thinking about running a men’s-only night in the off-season as well as hosting “waxing parties” where groups of friends who visit the studio together get a discount.
Prices at OC Beach Wax run similar to other spas, Rohe said, with eyebrow waxing $16, a bikini wax $35 and legs running $65. Facials start at $40. OC Beach Wax is in the Ocean City Square complex, the same shopping center as Food Lion, on 120th Street. The studio will accept walk-ins when spots are available, though Rohe urged visitors to call or visit the website to make an appointment in advance. A parent or legal guardian must accompany those under age 18. Hair should be a quarter of an inch long before waxing. Call the studio at 410-524-1686 with questions or to schedule an appointment. Visit www.OCBeachWax.com or www.facebook.com/OcBeachWax for more information.

Approx. 450 lady anglers competing in Poor Girls Open

John Bayliss' (Manns Harbour, N.C.) white marlin was the only one to meet the weight and length minimums of 70 pounds and 67 inches for the 41st annual White Marlin Open. Bayliss, standing to right of fish, caught it aboard Dream Time last Thursday. It was worth $1.29 million.
Bayliss reels in top marlin, $1.29M Dream Time angler lands only qualifying white to take home big WMO prize
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 15, 2014) Several white marlin were brought to the Harbour Island Marina, but after five days of fishing, only one met the White Marlin Open weight and length minimums of 67 inches and 70 pounds. The Dream Time arrived to the 14th Street marina last Thursday evening with John Bayliss’ (Manns Harbour, N.C.) white marlin on board. As the numbers on the scale rose, WMO organizers, dock staff, spectators and especially the Dream Time crew, watched in anticipating. When it stopped at 78 pounds, everyone cheered. At first, the marlin wouldn’t take the bait, but finally the fish went for it, Bayliss said. “Thank God he picked it up. Came tight [and] that was that,” said Bayliss, who fought the fish for about a half hour. “We thought he was a pretty decent size fish so we were really careful about fighting him. It worked out, thank God.” The fish was worth $1.29 million.
Seventy-two boats signed up for the Level E White Marlin Winner Take All added entry level calcutta, which cost $5,000 to enter. The total pot for Level E, which went to Dream Time, was $808,400. Jim Motsko, co-director of the 41st annual WMO, said he was a little surprised only one white met all the qualifications. “I thought it would be more than that,” he said. “It seemed like the majority were the same size, about 55-60 pounds. Seventy-eight pounds is not too shabby. I thought it would be heavier, at least 80 pounds, to win.” Marlin conservation is emphasized every year. During the 2014 competition, 411 white marlin were released, while 12 were boated (97.16 percent). Six sailfish and one spearfish were also released. Blue marlin: It wasn’t until Day 4 when a blue marlin arrived to the scale that met the 105-inch, 500-pound tournament minimum. The fish aboard Gratitude, boated by Sam Lancelotta of Ellicott City, measured 125 inches and weighed 738.5 pound. The fish came up close to the boat and the bait was dropped back, he said. Lancelotta said it looked like the
blue was going to grab the bait a few times. The third or fourth time it ended up hitting the bait, Lancelotta said, and he jumped into the fighting chair. “It danced and danced. It was wonderful,” he said. “It was a good fight. It was a short fight.” He battled the fish for about 35 minutes. The team scored a $511,417 paycheck for the fish. On the final day, Rhonda’s Osprey angler Lawrence Julio (Reisterstown) landed a 723.5-pound blue. The crew was presented a check for $105,539. Robert Guarini of Glen Mills, Pa. took the third spot with a 564.5 pounder he caught aboard Generation last Thursday. He and his teammates were awarded $70,526. “I think this is the first year two big blues were caught. We’ve never really had two big ones over 700 pounds,” Motsko said. Four blues were boated and 30 were released (88.24 percent), according to www.whitemarlinopen.com. Tuna: All of the tuna on the leader board were brought to Harbour Island on Day 1. Nearly $558,000 was awarded See TOTAL Page 44
By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (Aug. 15, 2014) Thursday was the first fishing day of the 21st annual Capt. Steve Harman’s Poor Girls Open and female anglers will have two more days, today and Saturday, to compete for cash prizes. “I wish all of the ladies a safe and fun trip,” Tournament co-Director Earl Conley said last week. Fifteen boats headed offshore Thursday. As of Thursday morning, 96 boats carrying 453 women have entered this year’s competition. “Poor Girls Open always draws a huge crowd and 96 boats is awesome,” Conley said Thursday. Teams can still sign up through Saturday, but are not eligible for the added entry level calcuttas. Entry fee costs $450 per boat for up to three anglers. Additional anglers may be added at $50 each, with a maximum of six total per boat. Teams will fish one of the three tournament days. Weigh-ins will take place from 4-7:30 p.m. at Bahia Marina, 22nd Street, bayside. 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 for anyone who wants to bid. There will also be a 50/50 raffle. Donations will be accepted for the American Cancer Society, as well. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three teams with the most billfish release points. There are also cash prizes for the three heaviest tuna and dolphin. Girls 16 and younger can participate in the junior angler division. Approximately $77,000 in prize money is up for grabs this year. “The marlin bite has been a little slow this year. The weird thing about marlin (bite), it’s like a light switch. It can turn on overnight. A big part of it is being in the right place at the right time,” Conley said. “There’s some bigeyes out there and some yellowfin have been caught. There’s a strong dolphin bite. I think we’ll do well in the tuna and dolphin divisions…” An awards luncheon is scheduled for Sunday, from noon to 2 p.m., at the Marlin Club in West Ocean City. Many women participate in the event annually, including cancer survivors. Although it is a competition, there is camaraderie among the lady anglers. Money raised during the tournaSee LADY Page 43

While some of the money is used for research on a national level, the remainder stays in the area to assist in local breast cancer awareness and patient programs and services. The competition has grown since its inception — eight boats participated in the first tournament and in 2013, 97 vessels carried 447 female anglers offshore. A total of $91,840
was paid out to the winners. “We’re proud of the turnout we get every year,” Conley said. In 2013, the Harman family presented the American Cancer Society with a check for $67,500 during the tournament’s awards ceremony. The total donated by the Harman family through the tournament and other events over the past six years is approximately $390,000. Since the Open’s inception 21 years ago, the American Cancer Society has received more than $600,000. In 2004, the tournament was re-
named to honor the founder of the event, the late Capt. Steve Harman. He and his wife, Pam, started the Poor Girls Open in 1994 to provide women with an opportunity to compete for prizes and money in a ladiesonly tournament and to raise money for local charities. Harman died in February 2004, so organizers thought it was appropriate the tournament be renamed in his memory. For more information about the event, call Bahia Marina at 410-2897438.

Doug Mazzullo’s (Kent Island) 183.5-pound bigeye he caught last Monday aboard Constant Threat finished in first place. The payout for the fish was $2,000. Because of participation in the added entry level calcuttas, the second-place tuna, Mike Kalajain’s (Indialantic, Fla.) 182 pounder he caught aboard Plane Simple, was worth $397,836. Pez Machine anglers Greg Melara (Mt. Laurel, N.J.) and Mark Reitter (Wall Township) reeled in 180- and 178-pound tuna last Monday. They won a total of $96,094. Robert Remo (Selbyville, Del.) landed a 170-pound tuna while fishing on Burn N Bills. The team earned a check for $62,040 (Small Boat Calcutta). Motsko said many crews strictly fished for tuna this year. “We had a lot more people tuna fishing then we’ve ever had,” he said. “It was the most we’ve paid out (when there were qualifying blue and white marlin).” About $712,000 was awarded to anglers who caught the top tunas last year because there were no qualifying blue marlin. The Level F “Winner take all” pot for heaviest blue marlin– $212,910– went to the angler who landed the first place tuna in 2013. Dolphin: There was a bit of a mix up in the dolphin division late in the week. Eric Seigel (Aldic, Va.) was in the top position on the dolphin division leader board last Wednesday with the 38 pounder he caught aboard Trophy Hunter and held on to win. The fish was worth $15,656. Bob Ambrose of Pasadena took over the second-place spot Thursday with the 34.5-pound dolphin he
hooked on Evidently. The crew earned $14,156. Classboro, N.J. resident Thomas Kerr’s 34.5 pounder landed on Day 5 earned him and his Off The Hook team $2,500. Mitchell Hand (Cape May, N.J.) caught a 29.5-pound dolphin fishing on Judge last Tuesday and Joseph Yakim (Bel Air) landed a 25 pounder on Spring Mix II, Friday. Both fish were worth $11,656. A total of $5,828 was awarded to Nati-Boht and Viking 62 crews for Jesse Laur’s (Mount Airy) and Lonni Rutt’s (Blue Anchor, N.J.) 21.5pound dolphin, respectively. Both fish were hooked on Day 1. Wahoo: Kenny Lord (Cambridge) reeled in a 66-pound wahoo while fishing on Iceman, last Tuesday. It was worth $33,640. A second wahoo came to the dock on Day 5. Snow Hill resident Paul Gentry nabbed a 43.5 pounder aboard Shadowfax. The team was presented with $32,640. Some of the money both crews received came from the Daily Meatfish Calcutta. Shark: The only shark landed weighed 156 pounds. Spencer Watson (Cape Carteret, N.C.) caught the mako aboard Edge Ryder II, last Monday. The team pocketed $6,500. Top three boats (releases): Sea Toy: nine whites, two sailfish and one blue (945 points); Full Pull: 11 whites (770 points); Billfisher: 10 whites (700 points). This was the second year the Sea Toy won the release division. The Sea Toy was also the top tournament boat overall. “We’ve never had a team win two years in a row,” Motsko said.

(Game On). Each earned 455 points for releasing four white marlin and one blue apiece. A total of 288 boats entered into the tournament and approximately $2.77 million was awarded to White Marlin Open winners. Motsko said he was pleased with this year’s event, overall. “We had more boats and more prize money. You have to call it a good tournament,” he said. “Overall, it was very good.” Last year, 262 boats participated and $2.47 million was paid out to tournament winners.
Motsko was glad white and blue marlin qualified on Thursday because, he said, “I didn’t want everyone to say ‘nice tuna tournament.’” “We didn’t want to see the heaviest tuna win the majority of the money,” he said. “The last two days a majority of the boats went fishing. You can’t catch fish if there’s no boats out there.” Boats could fish three of the five tournament days. On Day 1, 263 boats headed offshore. Sixty-six went out Tuesday and 120 on Wednesday. Thursday, 145 boats fished and on Day 5, 270 went offshore.

Season comes to end for Berlin’s 9-10 All-Star team
By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) After going a perfect 10-0 in district and state tournaments, the Berlin 9-10 Little League All Stars dropped their final four games in regional play, including a controversial 12-10 loss on Thursday, ending their season. Berlin, representing Maryland, lost lopsided games to New Jersey, Delaware and New York last week, scoring just three runs in three contests, before falling just short to Pennsylvania on Aug. 7. “Obviously it was nice to see our bats finally wake up,” said Coach Eric Snelsire. “We really played our style of baseball in that last game, and I felt like it was a good way to go out even though we didn’t win the game. I felt like the kids finally figured it out and were able to compete and play a really good Pennsylvania team. We had an opportunity to win the game and just didn’t do enough, but in the end I was very satisfied to know that we were able to finally go to our brand of baseball and go out on a positive note. Ashten Snelsire had three hits in the loss. Luke Mergott led Berlin with two RBIs and Snelsire, Mergott and Eric Berry each scored two runs. The coach saw several positive moments during the week despite Berlin’s 0-4 record. “I told the boys that each game throughout the course of that week we did get a little bit better,” he said. “Certainly in the last game we played our best game of the week, and that was similar to the way that we had played games previous to that tournament. Leading up to state play we were play-

ing at a pretty high level.” Several members of the All-Star team put up stellar numbers during postseason play. Nine Berlin batters hit over .400 during their 14-game run, led by Mergott’s .593 average. Berry led the team with 26 hits, batting .553 and scoring a team-high 24 runs in 14 games. Snelsire led Berlin in RBIs (16) and extra-base hits (9), and Brenner Gurksy (.564), Cole Lynch (.577) and Luke Scott (.552) all batted over .500. On the mound Mergott posted a 2.81 ERA in 10 2/3 innings pitched, Evan Truitt was a workhorse throwing 13 2/3 innings in six games, and Gursky fanned a team-high 21 batters in 12 1/3 innings. More than half the team will move up to the 11-12 Little League squad next year. “We had seven 10-year-olds and six 9-year-olds this year, and it ended up being a great experience for those 9year-olds,” said Snelsire. “They get to go back there again, and having gained that experience this year I guarantee you they’ll be better next year as a result of it. They were very good baseball players, and I think they’ve just got to stick to the plan and keep getting better
and they’ll have an opportunity.” In two years, the majority of the team could reunite in the 11-12 league. “That will be another year where I think we’ll have a good opportunity to repeat and go to a regional tournament,” Snelsire said. “Berlin has put together a really good program for the baseball youth of our community, and I think we’ve proven over the last four or five years that we’ve been a contender every year. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of it. “I really want to thank the community for their support of our team,” Snelsire continued. “It’s amazing every year the amount of money that people are willing to donate to these kids and their effort to try to travel to these tournaments, and it really made our life as parents a lot less stressful and a lot more enjoyable to have that support. It really made the experience for us, and the community has to be thanked for that. It’s really rewarding as a parent and a coach and as a member of this community to know that people are watching these boys and rooting for them and willing to open their arms and help support their efforts and achieve their goals. It’s a great community that we live in and we’re very blessed to be a part of it.”
Continued from Page 43 at Sunset Marina in West Ocean City. Anglers from this area interested in taking part in the weeklong tournament may register at Sunset Marina on Sunday from 1-4:30 p.m. where a welcome cocktail party is included. A captain’s meeting will follow. Anglers may fish three of five days, Monday through Friday, Aug. 18-22. Weigh-ins are scheduled daily from 59 p.m. at each marina. Certified scaled will be used to weigh blue and white marlin, tuna, dolphin and wahoo. The base entry fee has been reduced from $6,000 to $2,500. The entry fee includes all dockside dining, beverages and entertainment for a crew of six anglers. Calcutta options have been expanded this year. Crews can win big prizes for landing the three heaviest white and blue marlin and tuna. New meatfish calcuttas will include additional payouts for tuna as well as cash prizes for wahoo and dolphin. The added entry-level calcuttas range in cost from $2,000 to $5,000, which increases the prize money awarded to the winners. The weight minimums are 65 pounds for white marlin, 400 pounds for blue marlin and 50 pounds for tuna. Awards for the tournament include cash prizes for the three heaviest white marlin, blue marlin and tuna. Cash prizes will also go to the anglers with the largest dolphin and wahoo. There is a most-points division for tuna and catch and releases of white and blue marlin. Trophies will be awarded for first, second and third place in each species of the mostpoints division. In 2013, 117 boats entered the tournament. A total of $1,808,910 was paid out to the winners. Last year, 15 white marlin were boated and 251 were released. Two blue marlin were landed and 16 were released. For information, call Sunset Marina at 410-213-9600 or visit www.ma500.com.

some really good talent,” Musitano said last week. “It’s probably the biggest adult lacrosse tournament in the country.” Proceeds from the Classic will be donated back to the community in the form of scholarships and local lacrosse support as well as to fund the field house at Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin. Musitano said $7,000 in scholarships was awarded last year to student-athletes at Decatur, where he is the girls’ varsity head lacrosse coach.

Hundreds of yellow ducks make their way to the finish line during the inaugural Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House’s OC Duck Derby last year at De Lazy Lizard on First Street. This year’s Duck Derby takes place at Seacrets on 49th Street Thursday, Aug. 21.
BIT’s second Duck Derby to benefit critically ill youth
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) Hundreds of bright yellow ducks will take to the water next Thursday, Aug. 21, at the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation’s second annual Duck Derby. The fundraiser for critically ill children takes place at Seacrets on 49th Street from 1-4 p.m. and will feature cash prizes for the top three finishers, including $1,000 for first. “It’ll just be a fun couple of hours. People really enjoyed it last year,” said Wayne Littleton, coordinator for the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation Beach Respite Housing Program. Last year, 1,800 ducks took to the water at De Lazy Lizard on First Street during the inaugural Duck Derby. It was a learning experience that made for a fun day, Littleton said. “We had ducks that got out in the bay and the policemen had to go chase them. We made so many mistakes that the people actually had a good time and laughed about it,” he said. This year, with the help of Seacrets’ construction crew, they’re hoping for smoother sailing and even more ducks in the race. Littleton just ordered an additional 1,000 for the floating fleet — though a few were lost at sea last year, he said.

Last year, 1,800 ducks took to the water at De Lazy Lizard on First Street during the inaugural Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation’s Duck Derby. The 2013 event raised $8,000.
Funds raised will help pay for the summertime expenses at the Believe in Tomorrow House by the Sea on 66th Street, which provides critically ill children and their families a muchneeded respite at the beach away from the everyday stresses of a child’s illness. The house hosts about 30 people
each week this time of year, Littleton said. “We want everything to be special for them here, so anything we can provide, we do,” from a Monday night cookout complete with pork barbeque and frozen virgin drinks for the children to gift baskets, candy and beach See FUNDS Page 51

Page 49 Fifth Ocean City Jeep Week kicks off Thurs., Aug. 21
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) Hundreds of Jeeps will gather in Ocean City next week for a beach crawl, obstacle course, trail rides and shows with prizes during the fifth annual Ocean City Jeep Week. More than 700 vehicles are already registered for the event expected to draw thousands of Jeep enthusiasts to town, Event Director Rafael Correa said. With an obstacle course double the size of last year’s and a second course in the works at the 40th Street convention center, “it looks like it’s going to be our biggest year yet,” he said. Jeep Week events kick off on Thursday, Aug. 21, with a welcome party starting at 6 p.m. at Seacrets on 49th Street sponsored by Adams Xtreme Motorsports. There will be lite fare and drink specials, live music by Blake Haley and Johnny Bling, raffles and Jeeps on display in Seacrets’ parking lot as well as inside the bar. Jeep Week keeps rolling early the next morning with a morning beach crawl starting at 7 a.m. on the beach at 32nd Street. More than 200 pre-registered Jeeps will travel south along the shoreline to the inlet, creating a show for early-morning Boardwalk visitors. “It’s a pretty big spectacle,” Correa said. “It definitely draws a crowd.” Drivers must be registered in advance for the three-mile ride, which is at capacity, he said. Starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, Jeep owners and enthusiasts can check out Jeep Week HQ at the 40th Street convention center, open until 5:30 p.m. Jeep Week staffers have constructed a dirt obstacle course for Jeep drivers to tackle at their leisure and spectators to watch there. There will also be fully restored vintage Jeeps and military Jeeps on display, a $5,000 build-out of one Jeep Week registered winner’s vehicle and about 20 different vendors such as Poison Spider Customs and BTW Off Road on site. Show & Shine takes place at Jeep Week HQ with trophies awarded to Jeeps in categories such as modifications, functionality and looks. For children, there will be a kid’s zone with Power Wheel Jeeps, face painting and other activities. “The highlights are definitely going to be at the convention center,” Correa said. There will be “really hard-to-find vehicles that you don’t see every day.” Friday night there will be a family fun mixer at Hooper’s Crab House at the Route 50 entrance to Ocean City See EVENT Page 52

Funds raised will help pay for expenses at 66th St. house Continued from Page 49 snacks, he said. “Its just the personal, little touches that we’re trying to do for our families,” Littleton said. “We’re hoping this event will pay for some of the things we do.” Last year, the family-friendly Duck Derby raised $8,000 for Believe in Tomorrow, he said, and Littleton’s hoping for at least a few hundred more ducks in the water next Thursday. Registration costs $5 for a duck, $25 for a “family” of six ducks or $100 for a “flock” of 25 ducks, which are numbered to keep track of the winners. Participants can buy their ducks at the event or in advance by calling Littleton at 410-723-2842. Contenders do not have to be pres-
ent at the Duck Derby to win cash prizes, which include $1,000 for first place, $300 for second place and $200 for third place as well as cash for the top 10 ducks. The race takes place rain or shine. There is no cover charge to come to Seacrets for the Duck Derby, 1-4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 21. Seacrets will have its regular food and drink menu available and might design a special light fare menu for the event, Littleton said.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Despite your Aries penchant for wanting to tackle a problem head-on, you might want to take a little more time to see how a current situation develops. It could surprise you.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Taking on the role of peacemaker in a disruptive environment is a challenge. But you can do it. Just continue to have the same faith in yourself that so many others have in you.

An Ocean City Tradition
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although your work schedule keeps you busy, you should make time to start preparing for that important upcoming family event you’ll want to celebrate in a special way.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Home is where the Moon Child wants to be early in the week. But by week’s end, a chance to travel raises her or his excitement level, and that of the lucky person who gets to go along. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Be careful not to be a copycat when dealing with someone who uses unfair or even unkind methods to reach a goal. As always, do the right thing the right way, and you’ll win in the end. An offer could have many good things attached to it that are not apparent at first glance, including a chance to move into another career area. You might want to check out its possibilities.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)
With responsibilities surging both in the workplace and in the home, it’s important to prioritize how you deal with them. Be patient. Pressures will begin to ease starting early next week.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A positive reaction to a sugges-
tion could indicate that you’re on track for getting your message to the right people. Devote the weekend to catching up with the special people in your life.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new attitude from
those in charge could make things difficult for you unless you can accept the changes without feeling as if you’re being pressured into doing so.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family matters once again
dominate much of the week. But don’t neglect your workplace duties while you deal with them. An offer to help could come from a surprising source.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A difficult workplace situation be-
gins to ease, but there still are matters that need to be dealt with before it’s fully resolved. There’s also a more positive turn in domestic relationships. Don’t let yourself be rushed into making a decision about an intriguing financial arrangement. Asking questions and checking it out now could pay off in a big way later on.

Assortment of activities on tap during fifth Jeep Week
OC Sandfest will feature internationally-renowned professional sand sculptors from Team Sandtastic creating sand sculptures along the beach between North Division and Fourth streets, as well as family events and activities including sand sculpting demonstrations and lessons, family games and sand sculpting competitions, Aug. 18-24, in the resort.
First OC Sandfest highlights professional sand sculptors By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) Downtown visitors will see Ocean City’s shoreline transformed next week as four professional sand sculptors construct creative works for the inaugural OC Sandfest, four days of sculpting on the shore followed by family activities and contests. The public is invited to help kick off
Sandfest during a “sand-breaking” ceremony on Monday, Aug. 18, at 8 a.m. on the beach at North Division Street with Ocean City’s mayor and city council as well as the sculptors of Team Sandtastic. After the ceremony, the sculptors will begin constructing their creations on the beach from North Division Street to Fourth Street downtown, working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily Aug. 18-22.
Continued from Page 52 horseshoes and food trucks for everyone. For children, there will be a kid’s zone with Power Wheels Jeeps, face painting and a bounce house. Spectators are welcome to attend the event and watch the Jeeps run the course. A beer garden opens at 4 p.m. and at night there will be a bonfire before a fireworks show closes out the celebration. Jeep Week wraps up Sunday, Aug. 24, with a send-off party at Jeep Week HQ, the 40th Street convention center, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be coffee, light refreshments and a final run of the obstacle course. Registered Jeep Week participants get free entry to Jeep Week HQ and the Jeep Jam. Unregistered spectators are welcome at both events, which cost $10 for a day pass to one or $15 for a weekend pass to both. Jeep Week began five years ago
when a group of local Jeep enthusiasts decided to put together a weekend event for other Jeep owners in town. “There wasn’t really anything for Jeeps in this area,” Correa said. “It just grew every year.” Last year’s event drew about 1,000 visitors from as far as Canada to see the 512 registered Jeeps, he said. The 2014 Jeep Week already has more than 700 registered Jeeps with more expected by the time events kick off next Thursday. Jeep Week is a fun event, even for those who don’t own Jeeps, Correa said. “It’s not only for the Jeep participants, but it’s also a spectator event,” he said. “There’s a lot more fun stuff to see.” Visit www.ocJeepweek.com for more information and a full list of events. Ocean City Jeep Week is hosted by Live Wire Media, C.C. Customs and The Commander Hotel on 14th Street.
Special Event Productions decided to bring the sand-sculpting event to town after the resort attempted to break the world record for the largest sand castle nearly 20 years ago, event co-producer Bob Rothermel said. “It was a fun event. It didn’t break
the world’s record, but it was fun for all the families,” he said. “We started thinking, ‘What’s more iconic than being at the beach and building sand castles?’” That’s when the group contacted See WEATHER Page 56

Weather permitting, OC Sandfest will run two weeks Continued from Page 55 Team Sandtastic’s professional sand sculptors from across the country, to organize the first Sandfest. Each of the four artists will create two sculptures a day, lining the beach with themed works of art — everything from sea life to nursery rhymes — for five blocks over the course of four days, Rothermel said. “It seems like every beach town in America is attempting to break a world record,” he said. “No one’s ever tried to do this many in a long line.” Weather permitting, OC Sandfest will be a two-week affair with the works of art on display through Aug. 31. Rothermel said the team will adjust in case of rain, either buying oversized umbrellas or “learning how to sculpt sand fast.” The sculptures will be illuminated on the beach every night, Aug. 22-31, from 8-11 p.m. Next weekend, Sandfest will host a full schedule of free family activities on the beach, including sand sculpting demonstrations and lessons, competitions, games and more. Saturday, Aug. 23, kicks off with Sand Sculpting 101, a free lesson on how to shape the sand from 9-10 a.m. on the beach before a family sand sculpture competition with prizes. There will be awards onstage at North Division Street at 1 p.m. Families should bring their
own tools for the contest. In the afternoon, there will be a sand sculpture demonstration from 2-3 p.m. followed by family fun and games. The fun continues Sunday, Aug. 24, with another sand sculpting class from 9-10 a.m. followed by Win, Lose or Sculpt, a game where teams of four guess what their partner is sculpting in the sand and competes for prizes. Another sand sculpture demonstration takes place in the afternoon followed by a drip castle competition with prizes. Rothermel said his team “tried to create an event that would target the demographic that is inclined to come to town the last two weeks in August… empty nesters and those with the preschool children. “We’re excited. We think it’s a great family activity,” he said. “Sand sculptures and sand castles are some of the first things you do with your family when you visit the beach,” said Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan in a release. “What better way to welcome these families and make memories that will last forever.” All Sandfest activities are free to the public on the five beach blocks between North Division and Fourth streets.

A DJ will provide music, and Eastern Shore Kettle Corn and Kona Ice will sell refreshments. “We’re encouraging people to bring a picnic lunch, and if you have your own kite that’s fine,” Magin said.

Kite expert Joanne Rasmussen and members of the Wings Over Washington Kite Club will provide demonstrations. “They come in and do trick kites,” Magin said. “Some of them work with DJs and some of them do dual-flying kites, depending on the winds. (Rasmussen) had a camera attached to one of the kites last year, and it was just unbelievable.” Make and take crafts, contests, question and answer sessions and additional demos round out the day. Magin expects between 100 and 200 participants, including families and children. “It’s great for grandparents, the kids get to run and play, it’s just a good allaround time,” she said. “There are many family friendly fun activities in Ocean Pines that are open to the public. Ocean Pines is a family community, and we’d like everybody to enjoy it.” The Ocean Pines Fall Activity Guide will hit newsstands on the third week of August, and is available online.

OC Beach Patrol sergeants make unexpected rescue
PHOTO COURTESY LARA FALCON
Ocean City Beach Patrol Sgt. Jamie Falcon stands with his daughter, Ella and son, Jack on the Virginia Beach shoreline last weekend, where he rescued a 14-month-old child who was choking on a potato chip. The child was released from the hospital and is OK, Falcon said.
By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) Ocean City Beach Patrol members made an unexpected rescue last Friday when a child began choking during the USLA National Lifeguard Championship competition in Virginia Beach, Va. Sgt. Jamie Falcon had just finished officiating his fourth annual beach flag competition when he successfully resuscitated the 14-monthold, who was choking on a potato chip around 5 p.m. on the beach on 28th Street, he said. Sgt. Rick Cawthern and his wife, Jennie aided with the rescue. “Once we found out what the situation was, we acted on it. It was just like we were on the beach in Ocean City,” Cawthern said. “We knew ex-
actly what to do.” Eighteen-year beach patrol veteran Falcon said the rescue was “much scarier” than most because the victim was so young. “It’s a little more graphic having a little one like that,” said the father of two. “I’ve dealt with tons of emergencies, but I haven’t had a choking and I haven’t had an emergency with a child choking before.” As Cawthern recalls, a couple was “yelling frantically carrying their baby.” As he ran to another lifeguard to call EMS, Falcon ran to the choking child. Falcon’s wife, Lara was the first to draw his attention to the scene, where one bystander was attempting to revive the child, he said. “She said ‘Jamie, I think some-

OCBP members, wives help young child choking on chip thing isn’t right,’” said Falcon, who performed chest blows and back blows while Cawthern checked for a pulse. In the meantime, OCBP alumna Jennie Cawthern gathered information from the child’s parents for EMS and helped calm them while keeping bySgt. Falcon standers back. On the third cycle, the child started to breathe again and as he lay in recovery position, he started making noises indicating responsiveness, Falcon said. “Eventually I carSgt. Cawthern ried the child off the beach to the ambulance,” he added. On Saturday, the beach patrol received word through unofficial channels that the child had, in fact, gone into respiratory arrest during the incident and had been released from the hospital either that night or the next morning, Falcon said. He was unsure of the victim’s name or where the child’s family was from. Falcon said the parents were shocked, but the child’s father expressed gratitude after the rescue.
“They were very appreciative,” he said. Falcon has just finished juding the beach flags event, where Ocean City Surf Rescue Technician Youcef Belrachied placed 13th place of 115 competitors across the country. Ocean City also had a good showing in the 4-by-100-meter sprint, where Belrachied, SRT Shane Newmann, SRT Justyn Zangwill and Crew Chief Charlie Swartz earned a photo-finish second place for their group effort. Jennie Cawthern scored first place in the 2K beach run, second in beach flags, fourth in a paddleboard race and sixth in the iron man event. Her husband took home third place in a paddleboard race, fourth in the 400meter swim and fourth in a runswim-run event. The USLA National Lifeguard Championship competition takes place in a different location each year and Daytona Beach, Fla. will host the 2015 contest. Falcon hopes to get a large crowd of Ocean City supporters to travel to next year’s contest. He is the director of the Ocean City Beach Patrol’s training academy and has been with the Beach Patrol for 18 years, though he formerly served as a crew chief on the same street in Virginia where he made the rescue last Friday.

Braised oxtail served over creamy polenta
By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) “Nose to tail” eating is considered en vogue by many cultures. The stigma that offal and cheap cuts of meat have no place in sophisticated cooking is loosing its stigma and thanks goodness. A seasoned chef knows the value of peasantry choices and welcomes the diverse flavor and the originality they bring to the table. Oxtail is exactly what it sounds like: the tail of an ox. Traditionally, it came from oxen, neutered adult cattle used as dray animals. Today, oxtails are butchered from any sort of cattle, including veal cows. Some people feel that the traditional oxtail has more flavor, because the longer a cow lives, the more muscle it develops which equates a more complex array of flavors. See BASE Page 63

Base for stock, soup, stew best way to use oxtail Continued from Page 62 The best way to use oxtail is as the base for a stew, soup or beef stock. Oxtail benefits from the long gentle braising because of the tenderness of the meat and the release of collagen during the cooking process. Braised oxtail over creamy polenta is an updated twist on convention at its simplest form. Succulent oxtail meat, reduced rich braising broth and creamy cheesy polenta are a perfect pairing. A delectable menu cannot be acquired without risk. Braised oxtail over creamy polenta is a great way to explore new cuisines and styles of cooking. Enjoy!
Braised Oxtails 5 tablespoons good quality olive oil 6 pounds of oxtails 8 large cloves of garlic 6 cups Barolo wine 2 cups Pinot Grigio 4 cups beef stock 2 teaspoons veal demi-glace 4 cups chicken stock 4 cups cold water 1 bouquet garni (4 large sprigs fresh rosemary, 8 sprigs fresh thyme, 4 bay leaves, 4 sprigs fresh oregano, 2 sprigs fresh basil, 8 sprigs flat leaf parsley and two tablespoons of black peppercorns wrapped in cheesecloth and secured with string) 6 halves of sun-dried tomatoes 3 anchovies, cut into quarters 2 medium yellow onions, chopped 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped 2 large celery, chopped into quarters 1 large yellow pepper, cored, seeded and chopped 1 pablano pepper, cored, seeded See OXTAIL Page 65

Jacoski thinks Classic will be ‘hugely successful’ next year Continued from Page 61 going on,” he said. “I heard from a lot of people that they were really impressed that it was such a big event and to see the plays that people were making as they watched it for the first time. At any time there were five games going on at once, so people could pick and choose what they wanted to watch. I think we not only put on a good event for the players, but it was also just a good event for Ocean City.” Although Humiliswag took the showcase, the Dragons had their revenge on Sunday, beating Humiliswag 15-12 in the finals. Jacoski hopes the success of the inaugural Ocean City Beach Classic serves as a launching point for bigger and better things next year. “I think it’s going to be hugely successful next year,” he said. “In the first year we had 11 teams. Based on the reaction of the players that were there
and a lot of players who couldn’t be here this weekend, I think we could have between 20 and 30 teams next year, and even get bigger in years to come.” Similar tournaments in New Jersey and California draw several hundred teams each year. “This has a long way to go, and we have space to go,” Jacoski said. “There’s huge growth potential based on the amount of space we have and the number of teams that are in the area coming from the whole Mid-Atlantic region. “A huge thanks to all the volunteers and the players, and the Town of Ocean City was really great, really helpful and they supported us 100 percent,” Jacoski continued. “We’re really excited for next year and for years to come.” For more information visit www.ocbeachultimate.com/oc-beachclassic.

Rex Allen, Jr. set to perform at OC Jamboree Country western star will celebrate 67th birthday on stage with fans, Aug. 23
(Aug. 15, 2014) Legendary country western star, Rex Allen, Jr. has announced he will appear in West Ocean City for one show only in August on the occasion of his 67th birthday as part of his ongoing national tour schedule. Allen was the star of “Yesteryear” and “The Statler Brothers Show” on The Nashville Network (TNN) for
more than eight years. During his ongoing recording career he has had more than 50 hits, including “It’s Over,” “Lonely Street” and “Two Less Lonely People.” Critics acclaim him as truly a “Living Legacy” of country and western music. When Allen realized that the date of his concert in West Ocean City coincided with his birthday he decided to just make it a huge birthday party and celebrate with all his fans from days gone by. He promises there will be cake for everyone, but jokes that getting older means he might not be
able to blow out that many candles anymore with one breath. His show will include remembrances of all the years he spent on television with The Statler Brothers as well as many tales and stories shared of his beloved father, Rex Sr., who was one of Rex Allen, Jr. the Original
Singing Cowboys and often performed with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. The show will take pace at The OC Jamboree in West Ocean City on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 2 p.m. Advance reservations are strongly urged for this performance. Tickets are on sale now and may be obtained by calling The OC Jamboree box office at 410-213-7581 or by going online at www.ocjam.com. All seating is reserved, theater style and strictly limited on a first come basis. Ticket cost is $35.

Tide pools along OC beach typical this time of year
By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (Aug. 15, 2014) People were amazed and entertained last week by the formation of several very large tide pools along the 10 miles of Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beach. This typically happens this time of the year. We commonly refer to these as tide pools. However, they are not only formed by the outgoing tide but are also formed when large waves are driven further onto the beach by wind or during storms. Tropical activity in the Atlantic during this time of the year can cause larger than usual waves and surf conditions. When this happens, these waves bring more water onto the beach and if it becomes trapped in a low area a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tide poolâ&#x20AC;? may form. These low areas on the beach are formed as waves push sand into large mounds running parallel to the shore with the area behind the mound (to the west) being lower than this newly formed retaining mound. As water is pushed over this mound, it cannot make its way back into the ocean as runoff and becomes trapped in the low lying area. Although the amount of water, the size of the low lying area and the depth of low lying area, may vary See TIDE Page 73
Society strives to preserve history of coastal Wor. Co. Continued from Page 69 Worcester County coastal region, and equally, the historical role performed by the United States Life-Saving Service, and to preserve with subsequent mandate the 1891 structure that once served as the Ocean City Station. It strives to be the premier organization dedicated to the preservation, education and research of the history of coastal Worcester County. Establishing the fund will offer the society a source for new initiatives including but not limited to exhibits, community programs and acquisition of historical artifacts. The fund also will allow the society to explore opportunities to increase exhibit space and partner with other local agencies and businesses to preserve the historical legacy of Ocean City. Visit the CFES Web site, www.cfes.org, to make a donation to the Ocean City Museum Society endowment fund.Â

Tide pools pose dangers Continued from Page 70 from a few inches to a few feet deep and the size may be as small as a backyard pool or as large as several city blocks, most tide pools are only a few inches deep and less than a block long. Because of the relatively small quantity of water, the sun heats it and it is much warmer than the ocean and it usually has no wave action making it very inviting. When a child comes to the beach and finds a tide pool, they become very excited. It is like having a backyard pool on the beach. However, tide pools pose their own dangers. Because a tide pool seems like the perfect place for small children to play, parents often do not give the same attention to their children as they would if they were playing in the ocean. Further complicating this is the fact that most often the tide pool ends up forming behind the guard stands. This means that the Surf Rescue Technician is only scanning this area as part of their secondary scan giving much less attention to this water hazard than the large body of water directly in front of them. Parents often have a false sense of security due to the shallow depth of most of these tide pools but those of See SOMETIMES Page 74

Sometimes tide pool will behave more like water slide

Continued from Page 73 us in water safety realize it only takes 1 inch of water to drown a toddler. A second hazard associated with this phenomenon is the risk of injuries from running and jumping into such a shallow area. Although not a safety concern another potential issue has to do with this trapped water becoming stagnant, dirty, and smelly. Therefore, the Public Works Maintenance Department sculpts the beach to facilitate the drainage of these tide pools after they have remained for a couple of days. Sometimes you might find a tide pool that behaves more like a water slide than a pool. This was the case last week in Ocean City. In this instance, wave action was bringing more water into the low area while breaks in the retaining mound allow water to flow back into the ocean resulting in strong currents being formed in the tide pool. When this happens, the tide pool becomes far
more dangerous as people playing in the tide pool might find themselves washed into the ocean. This action is the perfect model of what is happening out in the ocean as waves come across the underwater sand bar and then make there way back out to the deeper water which is the mechanics and cause of the deadly rip currents you have heard so much about. Although we have given some cautions about tide pools, they can be fun when enjoyed safely. This season the tide pools have already formed in several locations. Hopefully, you will be lucky enough to see one and pass along our cautions to the people you are with. One of the tide pools that formed last week, did find a break in the crest of the beach (retaining mound) and created one of the fast flowing “water slides” we referred to on our OCBP Facebook page. A witness to this phenomenon filmed it and posted it on YouTube. You can view it on our Facebook page.

Agency approves pollution budget (Aug. 15, 2014) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved the pollution budget developed by Maryland to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in Maryland’s coastal bays and tributaries to levels that meet water quality standards. The budget calls for pollution reductions in the coastal bays of up to 35 percent for nitrogen and up to 18 percent for phosphorus. Higher reductions are required in some of the bay tributaries. The limits, designed to improve conditions for aquatic life and shellfish harvesting, are contained in a series of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) submitted for EPA approval by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). A TMDL is the calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a body of water can
% $ ""% $% # %" % $ ! "# % * $ ! ) #+
receive and still meet state water quality standards. The TMDLs include Assawoman Bay, Isle of Wight Bay, Sinepuxent Bay, Newport Bay and Chincoteague Bay in the Coastal Bays watershed in Worcester County. The bays are listed as impaired by nitrogen and phosphorus on Maryland’s list of impaired waters. “The state of Maryland is showing real environmental leadership in restoring its coastal waters,” said EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin. “Creating a solid plan of action opens the door to better water quality for aquatic life and shellfish harvesting.” “The Maryland Department of the Environment appreciates the support of Worcester County and our other partners in the Maryland Coastal Bays Program and the members of the Coastal Bays Implementation Committee,” said MDE Secretary Robert M. Summers. “Putting this blueprint to reduce pollution into place will continue to allow future generations of Marylanders to enjoy fishing, swimming and recreating in the waters of one of the State’s greatest natural treasures.” The nitrogen and phosphorus pollution reductions are intended to control algae growth and increase dissolved oxygen levels. Excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus
create algae blooms, which block sunlight from reaching and sustaining underwater grasses, and deprive aquatic life, such as fish, crabs and oysters, of needed oxygen. The Maryland Coastal Bays are a shallow coastal lagoon system on the eastern side of the Delmarva Peninsula spanning three states, primarily Maryland. The TMDLs also assign Delaware and Virginia upstream aggregate allocations for nitrogen and phosphorus. The nitrogen and phosphorus in the Coastal Bays comes from nonpoint sources, such as agriculture and urban runoff; septic systems; air deposition; shoreline erosion; as well as wastewater treatment plants and other point sources. The TMDLs make the Coastal Bays eligible for possible new restoration funding including Maryland’s Agriculture Cost Share Program and Environmental Quality Incentives Program, EPA’s non-point source program, and others. The data that was used in developing the TMDLs was collected from 45 monitoring stations operated by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. National Park System-Assateague Island National Seashore. For further information on the Maryland Coastal Bays TMDLs, visit http://bit.ly/mdcoastalbaystmdl.

Coleman earns certification from Int’l Coaches Institute (Aug. 1, 2014) The director of tennis and head pro at the Ocean City Tennis Center, Dr. Keith Coleman, recently attended and passed a certification as a competitive coach through the International Coaches Institute at the Sanchez-Casal Academy in Naples, Fla. Dr. Coleman The Institute, which was founded in 1989, is run by Corporation President, Emilio Sanchez and CEO, Luis Mediero. Sanchez is the former No. 1 doubles and No. 8 singles player in the world and was the captain of the first Spanish Davis Cup team to win the championship in 2008. According to ICI, the competitive coaching course is designed in response to the high demands of today’s tennis, where players are pushed at a young age to begin competing. “Through the competitive coaching course, a teaching tennis professional will acquire the necessary skills needed to transition to the next level of the pyramid in the Spanish Method of training,” Coleman said. “I try to help people learn and change their tennis game every day. Therefore, I believe it my responsibility to be willing to change my teaching approaches based
on the best current knowledge available.” This is the second training that Coleman, who is celebrating his 10th year at the Ocean City Tennis Center, has completed with the Sanchez-Casal Academy. He began his tennis career training with former world No. 1, Don Budge and through the years has tried to adapt and change his teaching methods with the best of modern tennis. The Sanchez-Casal Academy is known as one of the top tennis academies in the world. “It was a privilege to have the chance to learn from Emilio Sanchez and Luis Mediero,” Coleman said. “We are lucky to have a wonderful public tennis facility here in Ocean City. We are always looking for ways to get our residents and visitors to utilize this gem as much as possible.” Coleman directs all of the on-court programs at the Ocean City Tennis Center on 61st Street and is available for private lessons and clinics by calling the Tennis Shop at 410-524-8337. Citizens can learn more about tennis in Ocean City by visiting http://oceancitymd.gov/Recreation_a nd_Parks/tennis_center.html. “Like” us on Facebook: Ocean City Recreation & Parks Follow us on Twitter: @OCRecParks

OUR OPINION
Key policy revision just slips by
For better or for worse, one of the most important policy revisions the city has ever done - at least since the 2008 recession - slipped by this week. This could either be a sign of remarkable consensus on the issue by elected officials, or a sign that they just haven’t yet grasped the significance of the move. Under the new policy, private event applications will be required to be presented to council alongside an asset request form, which prices out all the townowned resources – both material and personnel – that will be used by the event. Although it will be up to the elected body which, if any, of these expenses are actually billed, it provides a measure of accountability that was sorely lacking before. For the past several years, the city has been packing more and larger special events into the resort. For the most part, these have been political decisions – the events that City Hall believes project the right image, or please the right people, are the ones that get touted as bringing in a great deal of tourism for minimal cost. Others are shot down as being too costly to the taxpayer relative to the amount of visitors they bring in. But never have any of these claims actually been verified, at least consistently. Now, the public will be able to see exactly how much of a financial break any given event is getting, or not getting, based on a level playing field. City Special Events Superintendent Frank Miller has put a tremendous amount of work into the new policy. But it will only be effective if council puts political muscle behind it, and holds promoters accountable for their impact. In the long run, there isn’t much choice. The buck has to stop somewhere.

THE PUBLIC EYE
Maybe we need to talk more EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK
By
Today I received a letter from Phil a Montego Bay resident who Jacobs writes that she’s been a property owner for 45 years here and had always enjoyed the resort’s family atmosphere. Last summer, though she saw a trend carrying over into this summer and that she describes as the “Boardwalk being no place for family fun or gathering.” She noted what she described as the “tail-gating parties on the inlet parking lot,” trash all over the Boardwalk and long lines of people using beach showers like hotel rooms. Most recently she and her family saw two “grown men totally naked on the inlet parking lot and not a police officer anywhere in sight.” Now she has taken her family up north to Bethany and Rehoboth Beach. I’m sure this letter writer’s desire to stay in Ocean City wasn’t encouraged by the performance of a pole dancer on the Boardwalk last Saturday night. That’s correct, a pole dancer, dressed in a bikini, and drawing her share of the Boardwalk crowd ostensibly took “center stage” In 2012, the resort had to stop regulating its street performers after a lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The town can regulate what areas street performers can use, but they cannot regulate their particular performances. In a statement, the town said, “It will seek legal counsel to determine if this type of act is allowed.” The pole dancer’s appearances come at a time when we’ve heard our share of concerns over the identities of people dressed in cartoon-like costumes standing along the Boardwalk. Their hope, I’m sure is that you or young ones will want to have a photograph taken with “Iron Man” or “Sponge Bob,” and leave each costumed “character” with some tip money. This has been a year where “no profanity please” signs have popped up. It’s been a summer where laser pointers and spring switch blade like knives have been banned.
Freedom of speech? If you dare, take a look at some of the sayings being printed on Tshirts for sale. I don’t pretend to have the answers for what’s happening largely on the Boardwalk near
the Inlet area. I do know that I met and spoke to some very wonderful people during the recent Jesus at the Beach festivities and before that just while spending an evening listening to Reggae music at the Caroline Street stage. It’s not the Boardwalk or the city’s fault if there is profanity or if a bikini-clad woman pole dances in public. If adults and their children are directly impacted by what they see on the Boardwalk, it’s the family who needs to discuss what they saw and whether it was right or wrong. Certainly, there is more than enough room on or off the Boardwalk, the beach or Coastal Highway for everyone to find a comfortable space. The focus should be on what is working, what is “family” and there are plenty of opportunities to take part in activities that won’t offend. I don’t particularly care for the pole dancer, nor do I love seeing the people in costumes. But I do love seeing the banners of military heroes along the Boardwalk. I do love sitting on a bench at dusk watching the ocean or the lights along the pier to illuminate the sky. Have you seen the “supermoon?” Certainly Rehoboth Beach and Bethany offer their own personality, and I am hearing that more families have moved their vacations from Ocean City to the Delaware beaches. But we are winding down what seemed like an awfully quick season. We have Labor Day and the Sunfest beginning September 18. Certainly families are going to be here to help make it a successful event. Solutions to the family image issue? It’s been discussed I’m sure by everyone in a place of authority in Ocean City. Perhaps this off-season, that issue should be the focus of a major City Hall discussion. See MUCH Page 93
M o s t everyone would agree that the most significant advancement in the history of civilization began with By the discovery of fire, which, Stewart despite sevDobson eral fire-related societal setbacks, i.e. creating an atmosphere conducive to singing “Kumbaya,” provided us with a portable source of energy. The second most notable achievement, were one to judge from our present circumstance, is not, 1. The generation of electricity; 2. Splitting the atom; 3. The creation of artificial intelligence (because we apparently don’t have enough of the regular kind to go around) but the advent of the cell phone. I say this because of all the above, the cell phone is the only instrument of our self-destruction that we can carry around in our top pocket. There was, for instance, that couple in Portugal who backed off a cliff recently while taking selfies against a background of, well, lots of open space. No one ever did that while building a fire. In addition, most of us who view professional sports on television will note that two-thirds of the people at the event aren’t watching the action but are texting or something, thus risking being knocked into downtown Yahyahville by a rocketing line drive, errant pass, hooked golf ball, screaming hockey puck, etc. I won’t even go into the driving-while-talking/texting issue (“Just in accident …” tappitytap-tap … “gotta go”). And finally, because my relatively new phone went kaflooey yesterday, which caused me to recognize how dependent I have become on this device and those associated with its use, including the company representative in charge of saying there could be a problem with whatever warranty you think you have. This would be the same perSee AT Page 93
Letters Council should hear what issues concern you
Editor, Recently the Ocean City Mayor and City Council discussed a problem it has discovered: skateboards. This threat to our calm and quiet resort community has seemingly given rise to the possible need for additional controls and constraints that the Council may wish to impose to safeguard the peace and sanity of our community. In the meantime, as we move to the fall season, the scheduled Bike Week and Cruiser Week plans are proceeding apace. Recent discussions by the city, event sponsors, and the Ocean City Police Department concluded that we have a serious problem with these events but the problems are not with the sponsors, the city or the police, but with those who invade the town coincidently and occupy private property and the city streets. Apparently efforts by the city to act in the interests of local residents and visitors alike have met resistance from our “partners” in the local business community who seemingly don’t wish to risk alienating their customers to ensure order and safety on our streets, as suggested by the chief of police. I’m not making this up, read recent local papers that make this clear and the response of our “partners.” So prepare for the semi-annual invasion(s) by the exhaust free, unregistered participants and others who just enjoy speeding (racing) on Coastal Highway, the side streets in the north end of town which turn in to parking lots for trailers and such, and wherever else it suits their fancy. If the promoters, police, our “partners,” and our Council can’t face up to the issues, it must be our fault (residents and visitors). Where do we turn now? I have often heard council members state that they have not heard from residents regarding issues under consideration by the Council, therefore they sense no interest or concern on the part of the community. Please consider calling or writing council members on matters you feel strongly about, they deserve to hear your views as they consider taking action while conducting the Towns business.

Thanks to Ocean City Life-Saving Museum vols.
Editor, On behalf of the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, I would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped make the fourth annual Children’s Day at the Bay a success on Aug. 3. Even with a severe weather threat, many of our volunteers came a great distance to participate. A great time was had by all– children and parents. We were proud to also include educational programs presented by the Delmarva Discovery Center, Ocean City Beach Patrol, Ocean City Mounted Police and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Don’t forget the museum offers daily free programs which take place every day at 10 a.m. in the summer. We look forward to planning other projects and events for our wonderful community to attend and enjoy. Visit our Web site, www.ocmuseum.org for more information. Thank you one and all. Diane Knuckles Assistant Curator Ocean City Life-Saving Museum
Proceeds from fundraiser to help N.O.E.L. Comm.
Editor, The Caine Woods Community Association officers and directors choose a local charity that will receive the proceeds from our September crab feast and from raffles held at other association events. After careful deliberation, the officers and board selected the N.O.E.L. Community as this year’s charity. The N.O.E.L. (Nothing Other than Eating and Loving) Community was organized in 1998 as a dinner hosted at St. Paul’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Ocean City, providing food and companionship on Christmas. The tradition has continued by serving free home-cooked meals and distributing gifts. Throughout the year, the organization also prepares lunches and carryout, packs toiletry kits for those in need, organizes food and clothing drives and more. The N.O.E.L. Community is committed to providing an enjoyable and positive outreach environment for those it serves and those who serve.
EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK
Much to discuss after season Continued from Page 92 Maybe folks who have left Ocean City for other vacation spots could be identified and asked to come and talk to city officials. But the idea of looking to hold the line on what is appropriate on the beach is still worth having. There’s a difference between a violinist and visual artist making tip money on the Boardwalk from a scantily clad pole dancer.
It is more than just as Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart wrote in 1964 concerning hard-core pornography, “I know it when I see it.” I agree with the freedoms granted people to express themselves. But I do think there is sometimes a line that gets crossed. I can’t always say what categories cross that line, I just “know it when I see it.”

Artists paint O.C. event incredible success
Editor, The nonprofit mission of the Art League of Ocean City is to promote the visual arts in the Ocean City area through exhibits, education, scholarships, programs and community art events. This past week, from Thursday through Sunday’s “Artists Paint OC–A Plein Air Event,” was an incredibly successful community art event, and a wonderful example of what people working together can accomplish. It’s success was due to the contributions made by all those who participated.
We thank our sponsors Macky’s, The Elks Lodge #2645, American Legion, Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore and Worcester County Tourism, without whose support this event would never have take place. We thank the 50 artists who traveled from five states and D.C. to create the beautiful paintings that the people in Ocean City were able to watch being created and which we were able to show and sell at our home, the Ocean City Center of the Arts. We thank the media for providing us the access to the community through your wonderful coverage of the event. We thank everyone who attended our events, enjoyed the exposure to new and beautiful things and who supported the visual arts by buying the paintings. We thank each and every volunteer who gave of their time and energies to make our dreams become reality. And we thank the Mayor and City Council of Ocean City, for working with the Art League to create the wonderful Center that we call home. It has been that partnership between city, sponsors, the press and our patrons that has proven so successful in allowing us to bring wonderful events like this past week’s to the citizens and visitors of Ocean City. With the sincerest and most grateful thanks, Emily Schwab Art League of Ocean City “Artists Paint OC” Chairperson
THE PUBLIC EYE
At odds with my cell phone Continued from Page 92 son in charge of explaining why, if your warranty does turn out to be valid, you will receive a used replacement phone because it’s “better than a new one.” That’s because the replacement has been “hand-inspected by our own technicians” whereas those bright and shiny new ones are popped straight into a box without so much as a howdy-doo, or whatever the Chinese language equivalent of howdy-doo might be.
So now, in addition to paying large sums of money to be interrupted or annoyed at inopportune moments (“No, doctor, that did not make my phone ring. And that’s not funny anyway”) I not only get a used phone but also higher blood pressure. I would happily merge the present with the past and drop the phone in a fire of my own making and subsequently live a long, happy and less complicated life, except ... Oops, gotta go. CNN coming in on Twitter.
CORRECTION The commissioners presented a commendation Aug. 5 to TJ Frampton, a Worcester Technical High School student, who won the bronze medal in the CommuTJ Frampton nity Action Project category at the 50th annual SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City, Kansas on June 23-27. Wyatt Brady, a 2014 Worcester
Technical High School student, won the bronze medal in the Major Appliance and Refrigeration Technology category for the second consecutive year at the Kansas Wyatt Brady City conference. The photo accompanying the brief in the Aug. 8 edition had the incorrect name on the photo. Here, we present photos of both young men, and our congratulations.
