Brewery earns PZ support for fewer restrictions on ops Pyramidal zoning lead to conflict with neighbors

OCEAN CITY TODAY/ZACK HOOPES

DEMOLISHED Demolition of the fire-damaged rectory at St. Paul’s by-the-Sea church on Third Street and Baltimore Avenue is nearly complete as of this week. It formerly housed the church’s administrative offices on its upper floors, as well as the Shepherd’s Crook food and clothing pantry on the ground level.

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Despite its acrimonious relationship with City Hall, the Ocean City Brewing Company at 56th Street and Coastal Hwy was granted another shot this week at removing some of the more onerous restrictions placed on it earlier this year. The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission voted five-to-one to recommend to the City Council that it approve the brewery’s request to have on-site bottling and canning, as well as an external grain silo. These two aspects of the operation were nixed by the council when the facility was originally approved. The commission’s recommendation also stipulates that such permission would come with a one-year sunset, after which the conditions would be reconsidered. Not unexpectedly, this move was met with distress by the facility’s neighbors. But regardless of the clash of personalities involved in the issue, the culprit seems to be the city’s long See BREWERY Page 10

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) “Everybody, be careful,” said one of the two young men who had been caught in a rip current in the ocean at 137th Street on Monday afternoon with Don Pen Soh Boma. In his profound grief, he could say no more. A member of the Ocean City Beach

Patrol rescued him and the other young man at about 4:30 p.m., but despite heroic efforts by them and fire department rescue swimmers, they were unable to save Boma, who remained underwater for approximately 40 minutes. People gathered on the beach to watch the rescue efforts that included a Maryland State Police helicopter and a U.S. Coast Guard vessel. Several public safety personnel searched in the ocean for Boma, 18, of Burtonsville in Montgomery County until they were called out of the cold water as a safety precaution because they needed

to warm up before continuing the search. Shortly after they left the ocean, public safety personnel were seen suddenly bringing Boma out of the water to the beach. As they did that, bystanders who had been watching the sad drama were ordered to move farther away, although none were that close to the area of the beach where they took Boma. His friends had been talking to a police officer, but when they saw Boma being brought out of the ocean, they sprinted to be close to him. One knelt on the sand, pummeling it in de-

spair. Paramedics performed CPR on Boma while he was on the beach and they continued CPR after he was lifted onto a Beach Patrol all-terrain vehicle and driven to a waiting ambulance. Lifesaving measures continued in the ambulance for quite some time before he was taken to Atlantic General Hospital. After that ambulance departed for the hospital, a second ambulance arrived to take one of his friends, a woman, to the hospital because she was hyperventilating See RIP Page 5

Police ready for influx of visitors in resort College Takeover Beach Week, scheduled June 5-8, promoted on social media By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Area law enforcement agencies are prepared for possible problems in northern Worcester County this weekend should the supposed College Takeover Beach Weekend take place. Online posts about the event in Ocean City June 5-8 prompted meetings, cancellations of leaves and vacations for law enforcement officers and advisories for businesses. College Takeover Beach Week has been promoted on social media and directed at students in traditionally historically black colleges and univer-

sities. Because there is no official organization involved, law enforcement personnel do not know how many students or others might come to Ocean City. “Nothing is confirmed about the number of people,” Lt. Ed Schreier of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday. Worcester County Sheriff Reggie Mason and others in that office met Tuesday with Ocean City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro and some members of his staff to discuss the situation. On Wednesday, Mason and his upper management staff met with the chiefs of the Snow Hill Police Department and the Pocomoke City Police Department to discuss possible issues that might arise in the southern end of the county. When a similar event took place in

Virginia Beach in 2013, there were shootings, stabbings and general disorder so law enforcement group here want to be prepared. “There will be an increased law enforcement presence throughout the entire county to help ensure the peace and tranquility of the communities we live in,” Schreier said. “It’s best to be prepared.” A press release issued Wednesday by the Sheriff’s Office said, “The mission of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office is to serve the people of Worcester County Maryland, and to provide safety, combat crime, eliminate the fear of crime, and improve quality of life in our communities. This will be done through loyalty, integrity, fairness, and excellence. “The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office has taken proactive steps to

help ensure the safety of the Worcester County community. There will be an increased presence of Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputies patrolling the county. The Sheriff has also added increased patrols of deputies in the town of Ocean City. The sheriff wants all those who come to Ocean City and the surrounding areas to enjoy their stay without the fear of crime. “The Sheriff stated that criminal behavior will not be tolerated and all Law Enforcement in the area are prepared to take the appropriate action to help ensure the safety of those who wish to live and vacation in our community.” A source told Ocean City Today that Gov. Martin O’Malley was aware of the College Takeover Beach Weekend and has assigned 120 additional state troopers to Worcester County for the weekend. The source also said store owners in West Ocean City had been advised to be especially vigilant. In Ocean City, police will concentrate on the Boardwalk area, which is usually crowded this time of year with visitors, including high school graduates celebrating Senior Week.

MSP develop program to keep pedestrians and bicyclists safe (June 6, 2014) With the influx of vacationers in the summer months, Worcester County experiences a significant increase in motor vehicle collision that involves pedestrians, bicycles and scooters. Many experience significant injuries; and in some cases loss of life. The Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack Troopers have developed an education and enforcement program that targets the transient populations, as well as the high-risk geographical locations in the West Ocean City areas. Troopers in vehicles and on bicycles will be specifically focusing their efforts on Route 589 near Ocean Pines and Route 50 in West Ocean City. Pedestrians, bicyclist, and scooter operators will be educated on the vehicle laws that pertain to them and their activities. A press release will be issued at the conclusion of the program outlining the outcome of the initiative. Anyone with questions or comments is asked to contact Sgt. Adam Howard at the Maryland State Police Barrack, 410-641-3101.

A press release issued by the town of Ocean City on Tuesday said, “Our most heartfelt sympathies go out to the family, friends and loved ones of the victim. On behalf of the entire Town of Ocean City, our thoughts and prayers are with them during this very

difficult time.” The release also advised people, on behalf of the Beach Patrol, “to check in with the lifeguard on duty every time you come to the beach. The lifeguard will inform you of current conditions in your area of the beach, including signs of inclement weather, rip currents and dangerous shore breaks.” Or as Boma’s friend said, “Everybody, be careful.”

Delmarva Power announces customers’ bill to increase (June 6, 2014) Customers will begin to see an increase in their monthly electric bills this month as Delmarva Power builds in charges related to renewable energy and infrastructure improvements. First, the new Standard Offer Service Rates will take effect for Delmarva Power Delaware’s residential customers. A typical customer who uses about 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per month will see their overall bill increase around $0.32. Customers will also see changes in the Renewable Portfolio Standard

charge. The RPS charge is incurred to comply with mandatory state laws concerning the use of renewable energy. In addition, the company has been authorized by the Delaware Public Service Commission to recover costs related to infrastructure investments for Advanced Metering Infrastructure assets. The overall bill impact as a result of these adjustments will change the average residential customer’s bill from $138.04 per month to $138.86, an overall increase of approximately $0.82 per month.

Offshore windmills an eyesore? Well, maybe Many factors, such as haze, height, distance, curvature of earth all play big role

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) As the reality of an offshore wind farm in Ocean City draws nearer, some question whether the change off the coast will alter their beach views. The answer is a resounding “sometimes,” said Andrew Gohn, senior clean energy program manager for the Maryland Energy Administration. The closest turbines will spin about 11.5 miles from the shore, with the farthest sitting nearly 30 miles from the city’s coastline, Gohn explained.

“While turbines might be visible on a clear day at this distance, on most days they will be obscured by haze,” he said. Visibility depends on a multitude of factors — the height of the windmills, their exact location and configuration, the curvature of the earth and atmospheric conditions. Even at prime visibility, though, they should appear about the size of a thumbnail on a fully extended arm or a matchstick, Gohn said. The exact view depends on factors as yet unknown, such as the turbines’ specific locations and heights. No one will know them until after bidding for the offshore Wind Energy Area takes place later this year. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management plans to oversee the bidding for the site, which is likely to be

leased as a north zone of 32,737 acres and south zone of 47,970 acres, said BOEM spokesperson Tracy Moriarty. While a swath that size could harbor more than 100 windmills, costsupport provided by the Maryland Offshore Wind Energy Act of 2013 should limit to project to around 40 turbines producing 200 megawatts, Gohn said. While no one can name the exact height of the turbines, most on-land windmills cap at around 300 feet tall, he said. Especially considering new data that could point to better wind power at lower heights offshore, “I would expect that we will be that height or below in the offshore environment,” Gohn said. Decisions about where to place Maryland’s Wind Energy Area date

back years to when company Bluewater Wind Maryland LLC began scoping out the potential to raise its own wind farm off Maryland’s coast. It began an aggressive campaign that included community outreach and visualizations of what the offshore farm would look like, Gohn said. “Based on those visualizations and that community outreach … the mayor, Ocean City council and town engineer all represented that this distance was acceptable to the community,” he said. A state and federal task force, which included representatives from Ocean City and the Lower Shore’s three counties, also accepted a recommendation by the Maryland Energy Administration and state Department of Natural Resources for the proposed wind farm area location, he said. With few similar projects in the United States, the Business Network for Maryland Offshore Wind has been looking to Europe for examples of offshore wind farms mirroring the Ocean City project. “We visited a wind turbine project in Denmark (Anholt Offshore Wind Farm) last November with similar project distance and you absolutely could not see them from the shore,” said Liz Burdock, executive director of BizMDOSW. “There are 25 Marylanders that can attest to that fact.” Once bidding for the Maryland Wind Energy Area takes place, the winner or winners will submit project-specific plans for construction and operations to BOEM for review and approval. Officials will evaluate the project’s possible environmental and visual impacts at that time, Moriarity said. Then it will present the findings to the public. “Public input will be very important to our review process and we will actively solicit such input through public meetings,” she said. “Visual simulations will be generated, analyzed and provided to the public as part of the … process.” She expects those visualizations to account for visibility under different weather conditions and vantage points — from the shoreline versus a second-story oceanfront condo, for example. “The visibility of any facility would likely decrease in the summer months due to increased haze and precipitation,” Moriarity added, boding well for beachgoers who don’t want to see windmills on their horizons.

Beach concessionaire at odds with air show After losing one of his two sections on site, he now faces losing money as well

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) The ongoing burden of special events in the resort was highlighted this week with a complaint to the City Council from beach equipment franchisee Will Edmunds, who said he is getting a bum deal from the OC Air Show. Edmunds’ company, per the city’s concession system, has exclusive rights to rent beach chairs and umbrellas on parcels of beach it paid the city to use. In previous years, Edmunds said, his company has run beach equipment rentals on both parcels that are

within the footprint of the air show’s ticketed viewing area. Edmunds previously provided the air show with equipment for its VIP clubhouse areas, where ticketing includes chairs and umbrellas, at half-price, with the benefit of increased business in the general admission area. This year in the city’s annual beach franchise auction, however, one of Edmunds’ competitors won rights to the northern parcel, where the general admission area is. Because Edmunds’ parcel now covers just the VIP area, he said he has no incentive to provide equipment at a lower rate. “I would only be getting $480 for the weekend,” Edmunds said. “I’d be better off without the air show.” Also because of the change, the air show is looking to purchase its own equipment to stock the VIP area.

Worcester County liquor bd. briefs By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) The Board of License Commissioners discussed the following topics and took the following actions during the May 21 meeting.

Hooter’s The board granted the request for the services of a DJ, but just for one night per week from 8-11 p.m. at the West Ocean City establishment. The request had been for a DJ two nights per week. Hooter’s management may call the board’s administrator if the services of a DJ are desired for special events.

7-Eleven The board approved the request for the transfer of the seven-day beer and wine license from Robbins & Carter to L&M Martin. The license is for the 7-Eleven convenience store at 139th Street and Coastal Highway. The store has been at that location for 37 years.

Burley Oak Brewery The board granted the request of Burley Oak Brewery on Old Ocean City Boulevard in Berlin to expand the licensed premises into the parking lot of the east side for a special event Sept. 27. Owner Bryan Brushmiller plans to have a beer station with approximately 12 beers from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Asian Grill The board granted the request of Mark Cropper, on behalf of the owners of the Asian Grill at 11403 Coastal Highway, for a seven-day beer and wine license. The Asian Grill is taking the place of the Yokazuna Restaurant in the Gold Coast Mall.

Castle in the Sand The board reinstated the three-day license suspension of the Castle in the Sand. The board had suspended the license last summer because of a sale to a minor and lack of cooperation with police, but owner Adam Showell appealed that suspension to Circuit Court. There, the judge affirmed the board’s decision and remanded the case back to the board. The suspension will begin at 8 a.m. Aug. 24, exactly one year after the date the suspension had been ordered to start.

Brewery earns support for changes from PZ Continued from Page 1 and troubling history with what is often called “pyramidal zoning.” Pyramidal zoning is when a higher classification of use is allowed in a zone designated for a lower use. Residential, being considered the “highest and best use” of property, is therefore allowed in a commercial district, at least in Ocean City. “My understanding is that you have always been able to ‘downzone,’ so to speak,” said Commissioner Palmer Gillis. “So you’re always going to have that conflict because it’s inherent to our code.” Although the brewery is “conditional use,” which allows the commission and council to place restrictions on the operation to protect the surrounding neighborhood, brewing is a permitted activity in the “local commercial” or LC-1 zoning district that overlays the area. But with the proliferation of condominiums, which are allowed as a less intensive use that rises to the top of the zoning pyramid, residents have charged that the area is now unfit for a quasi-industrial operation. “If you actually go out there an open your eyes, you’ll see that it’s residential,” said Jim Deitrick, board president of the Maresol Condominium, which borders the brewery site to the west.

“We purchased our property as a repaved before any occupancy is perresort property, and we’d like to keep mitted, instead of the usual allowance it as a resort property,” said fellow for gravel spaces. unit owner Lane Robert Hubbard. “I City officials, however, maintain feel the canning and bottling opera- that the OCBC’s difficulties are a retion would make it into an industrial sult of their own haste. property.” “Not to editorialize, but they’ve Approximately two weeks ago, the certainly taken an unconventional city forced the Ocean City Brewing route in getting this done,” said city Company to shut down after officials Planning and Community Developdiscovered that the company was ment Director Matt Margotta. testing its brewing and cooking “We expect them to be moving in equipment, and and installing training employees, equipment while without having ob- ‘He’s already indicated that he they’re under contained an occuMarhas no regard for the conditions struction,” pancy permit.

The front of the This includes, Shores claimed, the space will house a restaurant, bar and city rejecting one of its own electrical retail sales store. inspections after the inspection had Although the original plans were been passed, as well as requiring that reviewed by the commission with certain parts of the parking lot be only minor changes, the council placed a number of restrictions on the project. This included a moratorium on having external grain storage, quashing the brewery’s plans to have a 30-foot silo placed in the parking lot. The council also prohibited any expansion to include canning or bottling. “As the plans have matured and as we’re working on getting this set up, it’s become clear that two of the conditions are very difficult to work with,” said Hugh Cropper, the company’s attorney. If prevented from having a silo, the brewery would have to operate using grain shipped in bags and moved by hand into a grain room, a much less efficient and much dirtier operation than having grain delivered to a highcapacity silo and moved into the brewery via a sealed screw augur.

“The silo takes the hauling out of it, seals everything, takes the dirt and dust completely out of it,” Shores said. Shores added that having a silo also would eliminate roughly 15 to 20 grain deliveries per brewing cycle, reducing truck traffic considerably. The canning and bottling operation would be done by a contractor, who would bring a canning machine – roughly six-by-four feet – into the building when needed. Shores argued that this would not increase the industrial scope of the business. “We don’t want to be a manufacturing plant …we just want something to add to our business,” Shores said. “Most of the interest [in bottling and canning] is advertising. People see your label on the beer and want to come to the restaurant.” But the concern from surrounding condo owners was that the silo and the canning and bottling in particular would allow the brewery to expand beyond a level that the neighborhood could withstand. “It’s not the canning and bottling operation per se. We’re against the canning and bottling because we believe this will allow another vehicle to distribute beer out of there and maximize the capacity of the facility,” Deitrick said. He noted that, while Shores has stated earlier that the brewery’s initial average output would be 1,000 gallons per week, production could be ramped up to 3,000 or even 4,000 gallons. “If he starts doing 4,000 per week, we’re talking about trucks rolling in four times as much as originally planned,” Deitrick said. But the strongest motive against the OCBC’s request was pervasive sense of mistrust directed toward Shores by residents and at least one commissioner. “He’s already indicated that he has no regard for the conditions he agreed to,” said Commissioner Lauren Taylor. “That was just to get by, and then it’s ‘we’re going to come back.’ Once you see that kind of a pattern and no transparency in these negotiations, you start to wonder.”

OC zoning code cause of conflict In his client’s defense, Cropper said, none of the restrictions had been agreed to voluntarily, given that the council had not taken public comment on the matter when setting the usage conditions. “The mayor and City Council just comes back and says, ‘Do this if you want to do it at all,’� Cropper said. “Under your theory, no one should ever ask to change anything.� But the fact that Shores was asking to amend what he had agreed to even before opening still rubbed some the wrong way. “What we’ve said is that we’d like to know, if you [Shores] are maxing out your production, how are you going to manage your restaurant operation as well?� Deitrick said. “He said he’d come back to us with a business plan and we haven’t seen it. It makes me nervous to be a resident next door to someone that can’t answer basic questions like that.� “We have a fear that we will give an inch and the next thing you know it’ll be a yard,� said Joy Davis, a resident of the Sunset Bay building, next to the Maresol. “It’s going to be a constant revolving door of getting permission for something else,� said neighbor Stephen O’Toole. However, Cropper said, not having a decimal-point business plan to provide to anyone who wants it is not a reason to be denied a zoning application. The development of the business is meant to be organic, hence the request for revisions. “I’ve learned a lot myself over the past eight months,� Shores said. Adding to the tension, this newspaper was also made aware of a letter sent by Shores to City Hall, in which he said that the OCBC would be forced to open up as a conventional bar or nightclub if the city continued to bleed its business plan to operate as a brewery. Sources indicated that the city had taken this as a tacit threat by Shores, with Margotta calling the correspondence “disjointed.� But Shores said he was simply trying to explain that the city was only hurting itself by blocking a better business model. “What I was trying to say was ‘we need to open up as a brewery,’� Shores said. “Don’t push us away, embrace us. We don’t want to be a big nightclub. We could do that because we already have the liquor license, but we don’t want to be that.� Despite the personal disharmony, the position of the commission was that they could not hamper a business simply on speculation by aggravated residents when that

aggravation was caused by allowing the construction of homes in a commercial zone in the first place. During the real estate boom years, land become more valuable as condos than as a business enterprise, and thus the zoning structure allowed a proliferation of units that bolstered the city’s tax rolls. The same thing happened in many other areas.

‘What we’ve said is that we’d like to know, if you [Shores] are maxing out your production, how are you going to manage your restaurant operation as well? He said he’d come back to us with a business plan and we haven’t seen it. It makes me nervous to be a resident next door to someone that can’t answer basic questions like that.’ Jim Deitrick, board president of the Maresol Condominium “Before coming here, I was fortunate enough to serve on the Salisbury and Wicomico planning boards,� Gillis said. “We had a lot of situations where residential developments

would be plopped in a farmer’s field, and then the residents would complain about the farming operations. It creates a big conflict.� The consensus on the commission seemed to be that it was not Shores’ fault that his neighbors had chosen to build their homes in a commercial zone – and probably shouldn’t have been allowed to do so, if not for the city’s problematic pyramidal zoning. “The commercial properties have a right operate, but you still have to be a good neighbor,� said Commissioner Chris Shanahan, “although I don’t see you making a ton of beer out of this place and turning it into an industrial park.� “This is a better way of bringing the project into Ocean City if you’re going to allow it at all,� said Commissioner Peck Miller. Miller also suggested a one-year use condition, after which the facility’s size and scope could be re-assessed. Five members of the commission voted in favor of the suggestion, with Taylor against and Commission Chair Pam Buckley absent. “We’ve had an exodus of businesses form this island over the past 10 to 15 years,� Gillis said. “What I’ve heard from the community is that we’ve got to do something to encourage business rather than turning everything into condos.�

City still pursuing property for new boat ramp Ordinance would give city option of condemnation if negotiations fall through

By Zack Hoopes Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) The Ocean City Council took the first step this week toward a possible condemnation of the property needed to build a boat ramp at 64th Street, although the final nail is far from the coffin on the contested land. The council passed an ordinance that would authorize the public acquisition of the land – either through a negotiated sale or via a court condemnation proceeding – much to the chagrin of the land’s owner, Robert Kirchiro. “We have been making progress [with negotiations],” Kirchiro said. “For you to just take it, there has to be a reason. If you were in my position, knowing what I paid for the property, how would you respond?” But officials pledged that they would continue to try to work out a deal, and that passing an ordinance that would permit condemnation does not mean they’ll do it. “I don’t think anyone on the council is ready to rush into condemnation if we believe negotiations are moving forward,” said Councilman Joe Mitrecic.

als for various joint uses. However, these would likely not be permissible under wetlands regulations and are not in the city’s financial interest. The city already has state funding to construct a $4 million public boat launch at the site, which will relieve pressure on the overburdened public boat ramp in the Little Salisbury neighborhood, where traffic backups and parking issues are common. “Since the last meeting, we have been shown an email and correspondence trail by our city engineer,” said Councilman Brent Ashley, who had motioned two weeks ago to table the condemnation ordinance. “Seeing what we saw, I feel very confident that everything has been done to bring this to a favorable conclusion for everybody,” Ashley said. Local landlord and frequent commentator Tony Christ asked what legal right the city had to “to make a decision on condemnation for recreational purposes.” “This is a public purpose,” Mayor Rick Meehan said. “This is something the public supports and something we need in order to provide for a large number of people, otherwise we wouldn’t even consider it.” “The property and its value have changed considerably,” Meehan said, in regard to the wetlands regulations. “But we’re going to continue to bargain in good faith.”

POLICE/COURTS

Tomas Camara

Alleged theft Tomas Camara, 25, of Alexandria, Va., was arrested June 2 after allegedly burglarizing a 49th Street apartment. A man who had rented two apartments there told police he stepped outside his unit to check on a pizza he had ordered and he saw a man standing in the doorway of the sliding glass door to the second unit. He yelled at the man as he jumped over the balcony to the patio. He said he could see the man was holding a pair of sunglasses owned by his friend who was staying in that unit, but was not there at the time. The man dropped the sunglasses, but kept walking away. The other man staying in the first

unit walked over to the sliding glass door and saw a second suspect, later identified as Tomas Camara, standing inside the unit and holding a Bluetooth speaker. He asked Camara why he was there and Camara reportedly said he was there to use the bathroom. He told Camara to leave and Camara walked out and across the street, dropping the speaker as he left. As police were investigating the crime, Camara walked past the scene on the sidewalk. The men who had seen him told police he was the man who had been inside the unit. Camara reportedly told police he entered the unit because he needed to use a bathroom. He was charged with first- and fourth-degree burglary and attempted theft of less than $100.

socks with marijuana plants that had been included in the description. After being arrested, Meredith reportedly told the officer that he and the victim started pushing and shoving each other during an argument. He also reportedly said he kicked the man in his head while he was on the ground. Paramedics treated wounds on the victim’s knees that were suffered when he fell to the ground. The victim refused transportation to the hospital so his head injury could be checked. After arresting Meredith, the officer found marijuana and a metal grinder in his backpack. Meredith was charged with firstand second-degree assault, disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment, possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.

Alleged assault

Disorderly conduct

Craig Emanuel Meredith, 20, of Chesapeake City, was arrested June 1 after allegedly assaulting a man. Police tried to talk to the victim, who was in and out of consciousness as he sat in a car in a 33rd Street parking lot at about 2:30 a.m. His sister told police a man had kicked him in his head. A description of the alleged suspect, Meredith, was dispatched and an officer saw him near 31st Street at about 3 a.m. because of his black

A 25-year-old Ocean City man was arrested June 2 after allegedly cursing at a clerk at a downtown pizzeria and yelling that he wanted his discount. According to the charging document, officers saw Goshu W. Goshu stagger into a light pole near Dorchester Street and Baltimore Avenue. They followed him north and saw him enter a pizzeria at about 2:30 a.m. While they were outside, Goshu started cursing the clerk and yelling about his discount as he was leaving

the restaurant. One of the police officers arrested Goshu instead of giving him a citation because he thought Goshu was a threat to public safety. He also reportedly threatened another officer, saying he would “hunt him down,� according to the charging document.

Vehicle theft A 19-year-old Frederick man attracted the attention of Ocean City police May 30 because he was driving erratically near 27th Street and Philadelphia Avenue at about 4:45 p.m. The officer following the red Honda Civic asked Ocean City communications to conduct a check on the car. He learned the Honda has been reported stolen. He continued following the car to a convenience store near 28th Street, where he saw the driver, later identified as Stephen Matthew Zimmerman, exit the car and walk north on Philadelphia Avenue. Zimmerman started running when he noticed uniformed police officers approaching him, but one of the officers apprehended him in a 27th Street parking lot. Police arrested Zimmerman, who gave three false names to them. Zimmerman was charged with unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, theft from $1,000 to less than $10,000, theft of less than $1,000, making a Continued on Page 18

Malicious destruction A Pocomoke man was charged June 3 with malicious destruction of property after allegedly breaking window at the Berlin residence of his mother. According to the Berlin Police Department, Gregory Davis Sterling, 32, appeared to be intoxicated and resisted arrest. Police used an electronic control device to subdue him so he could be taken into custody. One Berlin police officer was injured during the arrest.

Bishopville burglaries A Worcester County Sheriff’s Office deputy on foot patrol in the Holiday Harbor area in Bishopville discovered

a burglary in progress of a shed behind a residence on Nora Lane at about 2:30 a.m. on June 1. The suspect ran to his vehicle and began to flee by driving at a high rate of speed on Dixie Drive and Saint Martin’s Neck Road. The deputy returned to the patrol vehicle and pursued the suspect. The suspect vehicle reached speeds around 90 miles per hour in the short distance on Saint Martin’s Neck Road before turning on Mumford Road, where the deputy stopped the vehicle. The driver was identified as Tevin Nathaniel Smith, 23, of Selbyville, Del. A woman and her toddler were in the vehicle when Smith fled. A search of the vehicle yielded several pairs of bolt cutters used to cut locks as well as other common tools used to burglarize buildings. Smith and the woman were taken to the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office while a family member took custody

of the child. Mr. Smith was linked to several other burglaries from May 31. The deputy had been on foot patrol in the Holiday Harbor area of Bishopville on June 1 as a proactive law enforcement effort to put a quick end to burglaries there. Smith was charged with secondand fourth-degree burglary and possessing burglary tools for the incident from Nora Lane. In addition, his Delaware driver’s license was suspended and he was issued numerous traffic citations in relation to the pursuit. Smith was seen by a District Court Commissioner and ordered held at the Worcester County Jail on $100,000 bond. The investigation will continue and additional charges are pending for Mr. Smith. Anyone with information, or who believes their building might have been burglarized is asked to contact the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office at 410-632-1111.

Shorts transfers to central office BES principal will become coordinator of instruction for K-12 Literacy and Title I (June 6, 2014) Effective July 1, Buckingham Elementary School Principal Denise Shorts will transfer to Worcester County Public Schools’ central office as the coordinator of instruction for K-12 Literacy and Title I. The K-12 Literacy and Title I coordinaDenise Shorts tor position will replace the position currently held by Dr. Donna Main, coordinator of instruction for English, who will be retiring on June 30. Shorts has served 26 years with Worcester County Public Schools and has assumed leadership advisory roles in the system’s transition to the Maryland College and Career Readiness Standards (Common Core). Shorts is eager to guide teachers and administrators in strengthening literacy curricula to reflect the system’s goals. “We want curricula to reflect the rigor of the standards while using instructional best-practices that inspire collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity in our students,” said Shorts. “We also want literacy curric-

ula across all grade levels to provide our teachers with effective tools and strategies like integrating STEM, technology, and the arts.” “Literacy extends beyond the ability to read and write in English and/or a child’s world language,” said Superintendent Dr. Jerry Wilson. “Literacy is the foundation – the starting point – for everything we do in all classrooms and in all subject areas. Ms. Shorts’ expertise will benefit each and every student in our system.” Shorts will also oversee the school system’s Title I program. Title I is a federal program that is designed to improve the academic achievement of schools with poverty levels that exceed 40 percent of the student population. Shorts has been principal of two Title I schools, spanning 11 years of service. She has also served in schools with low poverty levels. “I understand the educational needs of students who come from households of poverty and I am passionate about equity in education for all students,” Shorts said. “In Worcester County Public Schools, we believe that every student can and will achieve academic success,” Wilson said. “With Ms. Shorts’ leadership in Title I, we will continue to narrow our achievement gap until it is eliminated.” The process for finding Shorts’ re-

placement at Buckingham Elementary School is under way. “Our school system is working hard to ensure that when a position opens, it closes with someone ready and prepared to take over the reins. I am confident that Buckingham Elementary School’s next principal will lead the school to even greater heights,” Shorts said. Shorts acknowledged that she will be sad to leave her school community behind. “In a short period of time, I have grown extremely fond of my students and staff, as well as the community. I will miss them, but look forward in impacting them and all Worcester County Public School students in the areas of Literacy and Title I,” she said. In Shorts’ 26 years, she has held positions as a teacher, curriculum planner, assistant principal and principal, serving the school system in four of the five elementary schools, as well as in the intermediate school. In addition to her participation in the implementation of the new standards and Strategic Direction, Shorts has been involved with the development of teacher observation/evaluation frameworks, as well as central office evaluation for the school system.

Trolley services offered to and from Berlin, WOC, OP Stops at businesses along route include Ocean Downs, Walmart and Tanger Outlets

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Shore Transit’s new trolley service picks up a rider at the West Ocean City Park and Ride, one of its stops en route from Walmart on Route 50 to West Ocean City, Ocean Downs, Ocean Pines, Downtown Berlin and several stops in between.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Visitors and locals can take a ride on one of Ocean City’s former trolleys this summer. The Shore Transit service that started last week is opening new routes to the local community, offering service from West Ocean City to Ocean Downs, Ocean Pines, downtown Berlin and several stops in between. The idea came from almost a year of brainstorming with local business owners and the Worcester County Tourism office, said Shore Transit’s

Brad Bellacicco, transit director. “We’re just extending the places where the people in Ocean City can go,” he said. “We decided that we need to do a better job of meeting the West Ocean City demand.” Some of the trolley stops were not on previous Shore Transit routes, such as stops in Ocean Pines. Others are easier to get to now, he said. “The director here at the tri-county council suggested that there might be a lot of people vacationing that might like to get from the end of the Ocean City transit system out into West Ocean City and other places,” Bellacicco said. “It also provides a good connect for people that live in West Ocean City and Ocean Pines to get out in their area.” The Trolley itself is one of Ocean City’s former vehicles. Shore Transit purchased two of the resort’s trolleys, with the others going to routes in Annapolis and Dorchester County. Their appearance is identical to what it was when they ran along the island, save for three company logos on the trolleys, Bellacicco said. The trolley route takes visitors from West Ocean City into Ocean Pines and Berlin, stopping at several businesses along the way. Those businesses helped back the project, which is seeking funding from the state now that is has proved viable, Bellacicco said. “We’re able to do this because those agencies and business providing funding to get it started,” he said. Trolley rides start at Walmart on Route 50 and travel in one-and-a-halfhour loops to Tanger Outlets, Ocean Downs, the Ocean Pines Community Center and Sports Core Pool, Burley Oak Brewery, Downtown Berlin, Sunset Marina and the West Ocean City Park and Ride. In July, Shore Transit will look at its routes and ridership, possibly updating the tracks. Some stops on the Salisbury-Ocean City service might move to the trolley route, saving time on the trip, for example. “The trolley will integrate into our new system,” which will operate on different summer and winter schedules, Bellacicco said. “There’s more demand in the summer, so we’ll be operating more routes.” In the fall, Shore Transit will evaluate ridership on the trolley and determine route for the offseason, he said. Normal Shore Transit rides cost $3, but the Trolley costs $1 per ride thanks to the backing of local businesses. “It’s something new. People are leaning about it,” Bellacicco said. “More and more people are riding it every day.” The service runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week through Labor Day. For more information on the trolley, contact Shore Transit at 443-2602300 or visit www.shoretransit.org.

County works with Hardwire to improve personnel safety ‘Peace dividends’make it possible for company to provide innovative items By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Some county facilities will have additional safety equipment because of the county’s collaboration with Hardwire, a Pocomoke company that develops and manufactures armor for military vehicles and facilities, bridges and utilities. “We are truly blessed that Ed Tunis in located in our county, in Pocomoke,” Economic Development Director Bill Badger told the Worcester County Commissioners during their Tuesday meeting. A former “Maryland Entrepreneur of the Year,” Tunis started the company in his garage. From that small beginning, Hardwire now makes products used around the world to protect vehicles, buildings, military personnel, school personnel and others. Tunis offered, and the county commissioners accepted, a $12,000 match to buy some of Hardwire’s safety clipboards, white boards and shields. They will be used by school resource officers. Additional items will go to the county commissioners, the Treasurer’s Office the State’s Attorney’s Office, the Worcester County Development Center, judges, court clerks, court reporters, deputies providing security in the Government Office Center and the courthouse. Four or five years ago, Tunis said, he gave bulletproof clipboards to some police officers. “That was a gift to the community,” he said. Now the company is concentrating on producing more of the items and continuing to develop new items. Tunis said Hardwire had been through the “upturn of war and the downturn of war.” The items going to the county and similar items, he said, “are a peace dividend coming out of the war effort.” Tunis envisions that some day his company’s bulletproof shields will be in every public building, next to the fire extinguishers, which were required after fire problems. “We now have gunfire problems,” Tunis said. Hardwire is manufacturing bulletproof shields for Delaware’s SWAT Team. It has already outfitted an entire Alaskan town with bulletproof items. Valdez, he said, “is the best armored town in Alaska.” Also during the meeting, Tunis made an announcement about his company’s products. “We are the first company in the world to offer a lifetime guarantee on our armor,” Tunis said. “This will be the last piece of armor you have to buy.” There will be, however, newly developed items to use in conjunction with

older items. The company is now getting patents for magnetic door armor for vehicles. “It literally clicks on and you can pull it off and run with it,” Tunis said. The commissioners were impressed. “Hardwire is the shining star of Worcester County,” Commissioner Judy Boggs said. “You’re an asset to the county,” said Bud Church, president of the county commissioners. Tunis said he would continue to reside in the county and to have his company here because it is such a “wonderful place to raise a family and have a business. “It’s such an honor to live and work here in Worcester County,” Tunis said.

Property mgr. blames drug habit for theft Burglary charge filed after woman allegedly broke into condos and a home By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) A criminal summons was issued Monday morning for a former property manager of an Ocean City condominium. Patty Ann Gray, 38, of Bishopville, is accused of breaking into units at Our Place at the Beach, where she was employed by Legum and Norman, and stealing jewelry and cash. She is also charged with burglarizing a residence in Friendship, near Berlin. According to documents in Circuit Court, Gray is suspected of breaking into three units at Our Place at the Beach, on Old Landing Road in North City City, between Jan. 20 and April 18. In one unit, she allegedly stole jewelry, in another unit she allegedly stole more than $1,000 and jewelry and in a third unit, she stole jewelry and valuables. A detective met with one of the victims April 4 at Our Place at the Beach. The victim told him she had been out of town on vacation and when she returned March 27, she noticed that a long bulky gold braided

Patty Gray

design necklace was missing. She valued it at $300. Also missing were two rings valued at $75 each. The detective saw no signs of a forced entry so he knew whoever had taken the items would have needed a key to enter the unit. The victim said the only people who had access to her unit were maintenance men and property managers, because they had access to a key. Later that day, the detective returned to Our Place at the Beach to investigate an additional theft. This second victim said several items had been stolen from her unit over the course of the last couple of months. The stolen items were

Adderall pills, a gold-colored sand dollar valued at $100, two unique gold coin necklace pendants, valued at $600 each, a gold wedding band with six diamonds, valued at $500, and a glass fish bowl containing approximately $500 in change. The value of the stolen items totaled approximately $2,300. Like the first unit, this unit had no signs of forced entry. On April 18, the detective spoke with a third victim who said several items went missing from her unit in February. Coins valued at $200 and an engagement ring valued at $300 were taken. That same day, the first victim told the detective she believed she knew who took her items. The property manager, Patty Gray, had been recently fired and arrested in connection with an unrelated burglary and theft, she said. In that case, Gray was arrested March 14 and charged with breaking into a residence on Woodlawn Road outside Berlin on or about Feb. 28. There, she allegedly stole between $1,000 and $10,000 and jewelry valued at less than $1,000. The homeowner told a detective with the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation that he went to retrieve money from a safe in the house. When he opened it, he realized that two bank envelopes containing between $8,000 and $10,000 were missing. He told his wife, who then realized she was missing numerous pieces of jewelry. Neither the man nor his wife saw any signs of forced entry. They also saw no signs of tampering on the safe. The Cathells told the detective that Gray might be the suspect because they knew her and knew she had been addicted to prescription pills. Gray had been to their house several times and knew the outside location of an extra house key. They recalled that on Feb. 8, they were in Baltimore. That day, a neighbor called them to tell them that Gray had been in their house for an unusually long time. Soon after that call, they got a call from Gray. Looking

back on it, they believed Gray’s call might have been an attempt to put aside any suspicion as to why she had been inside their residence. The husband also told the detective that the person responsible for the burglary and theft might have been able to access the contents of the safe by using a default password, which was in the safe’s instruction manual in his home office. Later, the detective used a computer database and found numerous transactions by Gray at an Ocean City jewelry store, where she sold jewelry matching the description of the items stolen from the house. He also learned Gray had sold approximately 110 individual pieces of jewelry to various pawnshops for thousands of dollars. Some of those items were taken from Our Place at the Beach. According to the charging document, the detective believes that Gray sold jewelry whose owners have not discovered that they are missing or who know their jewelry is missing, but have not reported it. During a meeting with Gray on Feb. 28, Gray reportedly admitted breaking into the house near Berlin, where she used the safe’s instruction manual to open it. She also said she took two envelopes with the $8,000 to $10,000 from the safe and that she stole jewelry, according to the charging document. Gray also reportedly told the detective that she had an addiction to prescription pills and she had spent all of the money to buy them. In the Ocean City case, she is charged with theft from $1,000 to less than $10,000, two counts of theft under $1,000, and three counts each of first-, third- and fourth-degree burglary. In the Friendship case, she is charge with first-degree burglary, theft under $1,000 and theft from $1,000 to less than $10,000. Gray is scheduled to appear in Circuit Court in Snow Hill on June 25 for her initial appearance. The case was forwarded from District Court to Circuit Court and the summons was issued Monday to inform Gray of her scheduled court appearance.

Teen charged with assault on officer after wild tussle Rowdy behavor gets police attention, but it all quickly went downhill from there By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) An 18-year-old Centreville man was charged June 2 with assaulting a law enforcement officer and numerous other crimes after allegedly pushing and punching him multiple times. At about 2 a.m. that day, two officers were on patrol near Fifth Street and St. Louis Avenue when they heard and saw a group of people yelling and shouting on the sidewalk. Police said that a young man, later identified as Edward James Hartle, tried to conceal a can of beer behind his back. Then he tossed it behind a vehicle after one of the officers said he wanted to talk to him. When asked if he had any more beer, Hartle reportedly said no, but then he opened his book bag and took out five cans of beer. He denied having any more beer in the bag’s outer pocket. Then he opened it to show the officer it was empty, except that it was not. The officer could see a clear plastic bag with a piece of white paper containing a golden brown tar-like sub-

stance inside. Police reported that Hartle said the plastic bag was new and empty and he gripped it tightly as he tried to conceal it back into the pocket. Then he pulled it out of the pocket and started to rip it and throw the pieces onto the ground. As an officer reached out to grab the plastic bag, Hartle reportedly pushed him backwards and started to run away, throwing the plastic bag on the ground. When the officer ran after Hartle and grabbed him, Hartle allegedly started punching him with both hands hitting him several times in the face. The two men slammed against a car as Hartle continued punching the officer, according to the charging document. The second officer tried to help the first officer handcuff Hartle, but he fell to the ground because of Hartle’s violent actions. Hartle then hit the first officer again, breaking free of his grip and running. Hartle fell to the ground and the officer jumped on his back. Instead of submitting to being handcuffed, Hartle reportedly turned onto his back and pushed and punched the officer. He then managed to stand and continued pushing See ARREST Page 24

By Nancy Powell Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) A 25-year-old Silver Spring man was charged May 25 with first- and second-degree assault after an altercation at a downtown hotel. The victim told police she got into a small argument with a female friend when her boyfriend, Adam Lee Coleman Nolen, told her to leave the hotel room. She said Nolen grabbed her bag, which contained her belongings, and threw it into the hallway. After she told him not to do that, he allegedly called her dirty names, jumped at her and knocked her to the ground. Then he allegedly got on top of her and, using both hands, started to choke her. “From where I’m from I kill (word deleted) like you,” Nolen said, according to the charging document. The victim them bit his leg, pulled his hair and hit him because she was unable to breathe. The female friend she had been arguing with earlier and another friend pulled Nolen off the victim, who grabbed her belongings and left the See VICTIM Page 25

Page 26 Here’s why I didn’t do June Week

OUR OPINION

Safety a two-way street

For months if not years, political conversation in town would invariably and deservedly bring up pedestrian safety. Speed limits were reduced. Special pedestrian crosswalks were put in place giving pedestrians a sign of exactly how much time they had to cross the highway before the signal changed. And there were other actions, smart and responsible ones that we’re probably overlooking here. But the summer season is new and already we’re watching as some pedestrians give little care to the cautions barely put in place. A 35-mile per hour speed limit and slower traffic seems to be for some an invitation to walk or run across Ocean Highway when the orange automatic hand signal displayed. It’s seen as funny if a driver, obeying the speed limit, has to jam on the brakes to avoid striking someone. We’ve seen bus drivers driving in the bus lane hit the brakes as a youth or two crosses dangerously in front of the bus’s bumper. Then there’s another new game. With timed walking permitted across busy controlled intersections, there are some who choose to walk or run across all lanes with time nearly running out. We have seen members of the OCPD setting up radar on Ocean Highway. We know there’s a well-founded concern about increases in driving while impaired or even without a seatbelt on. But we’re asking that time be spent on the pedestrians. Obviously some have not gotten the word. Safety is a two-way street. While the drivers extend courtesies to the pedestrians. The pedestrians need to do the same at the risk of ticketing for being reckless and putting themselves and drivers at a greater risk for an accident. Let’s get through this summer safely. It shouldn’t be risky to drive or to cross the street.

THE PUBLIC EYE

Remembering D-Day’s 70th EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

By

Seventy years ago June 6 Phil at sometime between 4 and 5 Jacobs in the morning, John Sauer was standing in a landing craft approaching Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. The weather was miserable with clouds making any visibility near impossible. An angry sea tossed the vessel on and off course. When the front hatch opened, 29 of his buddies, all carrying over 60-pound packs either sank and drowned in the unexpected deep water or were instantly hit by killer shots coming from the enemy. Sauer had never been to France before. Running through a storm of bullets and shrapnel and watching people die all at once he said didn’t give him time to think of fear or anything else. His instinct was to just move forward. On the way to the beach he rescued a comrade who was holding on to a steel obstacle called a hedgehog. The man, a war correspondent, asked the 19-year-old Sauer if he’d go back into the water and retrieve his typewriter, which was stuck on the hedgehog. Sauer did it. Reaching the beach, he was told to pretend he was dead next to soldiers who were dead, so as not to draw attention of snipers. Sauer did that too. But then he decided he’d try to move forward. Minutes later a shell from a German 88 exploded in the sand near him, leaving a crater on the beach and a propelled piece of shrapnel that hit Sauer above his left eye and knocked him out. While on a hospital ship he had the prestigious Purple Heart pinned on his shirt by none other than the allies’ Supreme Commander, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Sauer

was a recipient of a bronze star for rescuing the war correspondent. Later, he’d receive the Legion of Honor Medal from the French government. But wait, this is all going too fast for this former member of the 29th Infantry, company F. In March of 1943, Sauer, 18, was working at Glen L. Martin Airport building military planes. He was a riveter of B-26 planes. This wasn’t what Sauer, who lives in the Gull Creek senior living community in Berlin with Joan, his wife of 63 years and is an active member of the Ocean City American Legion Synepuxent Post 166, wanted to do. Sauer is a strong man, a person who carries himself regally. He would get drafted and become part of the infantry. Flash forward to June 5th, 1944, the originally planned day of the invasion. “They woke us up at 3 in the morning, we carried our packs towards the boats, and then it got cancelled because of the weather. We went back to our tents to sleep. The next day the weather was worse.” Sauer was even trained at the White Cliffs of Dover to descend a rope in case he’d be doing so on the side of a ship to board a landing craft. That never happened, he boarded a landing craft in the hold of the ship. When he collected himself, though, when the landing craft front opened, and the men moved forward, it was something that he still remembers. The 29 men perishing, and the hundreds of dead floating in the water or in horrific stillness on Omaha. After recovering from his wound, receiving the Purple Heart from Eisenhower, Sauer was one of 22 men who volunteered to go on See XXX Page 27

So, the post-high school kids are here, doing all the things I wanted to do back then but could not, as my parents wisely concluded that I was too (pick one or more) 1. Immature, 2. Irresponsible, 3. Irrevocably Irreverent, or, 4. Too broke to come to Ocean City to celebrate with my other friends who weren’t broke, but were 1, 2, and 3 combined. The exact reason I was unable to participate in the inevitable destruction meted out locally by my sorry friends remains a little vague, but I suspect it had more to do with the absence of money than anything else. That would be because I was too (see 1, 2, and 3 above) to worry about such things as working and making money, that being the province of adults who, it seemed to me, had apparently dedicated their posteducation lives to having no fun. Although it was explained to me countless times that having money gave people the opportunity to have even more fun, I could not find anyone in my community, beyond a certain character named “Skeeter,” who actually had as much fun as money. Skeeter, incidentally, a man well into his 60s, was most notable for riding the merry-goround at the fire company carnival one night while he was blazing drunk and repeatedly yelling, “Yeeehaaaaa.” Obviously, he drew quite the crowd, including the local constabulary, which hustled Skeeter off to the pokey, yeeehaaaaa-ing all the way. Impressive as that might have been, it occurred to me that his way might not represent a good career path and that perhaps getting a summer job might be in order. So I did. At a tomato juice cocktail plant, with a company that recognized my talents. I was in charge of the onion-peeling machine, which was the real reason I didn’t make it to this town back then. No one’s going anywhere with a guy who smells like Italian dressing, no matter how prosperous he might be.

Letters Caring for Carol Fundraiser a success

Editor, We want to express our appreciation to all those who participated in and/or attended the American Legion Caring for Carol Fundraiser held at the Post. We wish to thank all Post 166 Legionnaires, Riders, Sons, Ladies Auxiliary and the many businesses and sponsors for their support and for the donations of cash and items to raffle.

to the editor

A special thank you to Rosie Garlitz for chairing and organizing this event and to Starr Purnell for organizing and conducting the Quarter Auction. Thank you to Cathy Kline and Paula McGrath for approaching our very generous local businesses and gathering their donations. Also a very special thank you to all of our volunteers who devoted their time and talents in preparing the baskets for our Chinese and silent auctions, 50/50 drawings, working the various tables, helping in the kitchen and with the clean up. You are all awesome.

Thank you to all of the vendors who attended, set up a table, and participated by donating some of their items to the Quarter Auction. And finally, we want to express our appreciation and heartfelt thanks to everyone that contributed to this event. The response was overwhelming and we had over 88 businesses and sponsors. Due to space constraints, we cannot list everyone individually but we have a list posted at the American Legion Post 166 acknowledging all of

Page 27 these contributors. Without their generous support this event would not have been possible. The proceeds from this event will be used to help Carol Nicholson as she fights her battle against cancer. This event truly demonstrated what could be accomplished when the Ocean City business community and the “Legion Family” come together to help those in need. Mary Herl President, American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 166

D-Day vet wonders if people know how important it was Continued from Page 26 the mission of missions, to help liberate the concentration camp Dachau in Germany. There, the danger was that Hitler at this later juncture in the war was using the fanatical Hitler Youth to carry out concentration camp atrocities. Before Sauer and his comrades liberated the camp, they killed the resisting Germans, all of whom were no older than 14. But this is where the war took a different toll on Sauer. Here bodies of dead Jews, Catholics and others were piled 10 feet high, he said. They managed to liberate over 500 Jews, Catholic priests and nuns, he said. “We stopped the gassing of the people,” he said. At 90, he said he understands the generations of lives he saved by helping to shut down Dachau.

When the war ended, he’d be honorably discharged. He’d become part of the American Legion color guard for some 30 years. At the same time he was a career fire fighter for the City of Baltimore. When he thinks about war, he brings it up to the present, talking about what the American soldiers who served in Iraq or Afghanistan had to endure. “I feel sorry for these soldiers,” he said. “When we served, we were shot and wounded, but these men in Afghanistan and Iraq come back losing arms and legs.” Sauer doesn’t need an anniversary to remind him of D-Day. He simply said, “People don’t realize how important D-Day was,” he said. “The war made me think a lot. “What would have happened if we had lost.”

Newcomers seek Democratic nod for 38C Mike Hindi, Judy Davis see who will stand for election next fall in new district

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Two rookie democrat politicians are vying for the newly created House of Delegates Legislative District 38C seat. Mike Hindi, a 25-year-old former lifeguard will face 58-year-old educator Judy Davis during the seat’s democratic primary on June 24. “I’ve lived here my entire life pretty much,” said Hindi. “This is my background; I was raised here and educated here.” The Stephen Decatur High School graduate was the first to declare his candidacy for the new seat. “I care about the community and I want to see what’s best for the community and for the state of Maryland,” he said. “There was an open seat; if you care enough to be politically active, the next step is to try and change things yourself.” Hindi said his experience in the mining industry in South America three years ago helped prepare him for office. “I decided to uproot and transplant myself for a year,” he said. “Working in the coastal tourism industry you meet a lot of Spanish-speaking people and I got some familiarity with the language. I

went down there and I worked with people and I worked with governments and corporations. “When you know how to take different parties with very different interests all in the same area about the same thing – and you can show them the way that’s best to work together and come to a mutual agreement instead of tearing each other apart – that’s always satisfying and I think it’s useful in governance,” Hindi continued. Tourism, job growth, green energy and tougher penalties for drug users are central issues to Hindi’s campaign. “I want to see increased programs as far as recycling goes,” he said. “Ocean City discontinued their recycling program, which is a real shame. We see millions of people come through annually and that could be a lot of refuse that doesn’t go back into our bays, back into our ocean, back into landfills. It could be recycled and it could make a serious impact. It could also means jobs, and jobs are always great for the domestic economy, especially one like the Eastern Shore where you don’t have a lot of energy, manufacturing and technological jobs. We can build on the things that we know we do well – tourism and agriculture, especially – but we need to diversity that portfolio.” Hindi sees maintaining infrastructure and protecting coastal bays as key to nurturing the area’s strong tourism industry.

“People come here to see them,” he said. “If we don’t have them anymore they won’t come.” A personal experience led Hindi to seek reforms on drug offenders. “My younger sister died on Good Friday, April 5, 2012,” he said. “It was a very sudden and unexpected death. The problem really is pervasive more than ever. Our recent drug busts on the Shore have shown that it’s infiltrating both our affluent and lower-income communities. Unless we do something – unless we change – it’s here to stay. I believe that our Worcester County police officers are doing a great job at making arrests, but we need to see what we can do further as legislators and as communities. “When it comes to narcotics I’d like to see an expansion in how we view it as a crime, how we treat it as a crime, as well as having increased penalties – having the infrastructure for properly incarcerating multi-traffic offenders,” Hindi continued. “I’d like to see better programs outside of prisons for people who voluntarily seek rehabilitation and help. I want to see better counseling, and I want to see those programs inside and outside of prison to break the cycle of addict, dealer, convict.” Hindi said he’s running as the “approachable, attainable” candidate. “I won’t skirt the issues,” he said. “When people want to talk to me I’ll talk to them. I’m not afraid to be frank and

honest with people. I’ll tell you about policies I really do support and that really can be changed on a state or county level. We should all call our congressmen and make sure these problems get better and get uniquely better as much as we can in Maryland.” Judy Davis got her first taste of politics at the Emerge Maryland conference last year, a program that trains democratic women to, in her words, “not just be political activists but political candidates.” “It was pretty rigorous in terms of being accepted into the program, but I was accepted,” she said. “I was one of the few women on the Eastern Shore. “It was 70 hours of training including how to interpret the demographics, how to form your cabinet, what a political campaign looks like, as well as social media and public relations,” Davis continued. Davis had previously been social media coordinator for the Democratic Women’s Club of Worcester County, as well as for the Democratic Club of Ocean City and Berlin. “Because of the opportunity of the new seat it just seemed like a good match for me since I’m just teaching part time now and I had this training and I live here,” she said. “I’m familiar with working with a wide variety of people because in addition to being a teacher I was a special educator and I also taught at the University of Mary-

Winner in primary will face GOP’s Carozza in November land Eastern Shore in the graduate department. So I’m used to working with a wide variety of folks on a problem. Teachers wear many hats.” Davis said she is also running on her life experience. “I think it certainly would be beneficial to our community to continue to have a seasoned person,” she said. “We have previously had representation from Senator Mathias, and also Norm Conway represented this district. They are both people who have life experiences, so I do think that the candidate should be aware how diverse our district is from agriculture to small business to tourism to the working poor, and has a network built in terms of being able to access programs for services for our folks. I think experience is pretty crucial.” Education, job creation, protecting natural resources and protecting infrastructure are key issues in Davis’s campaign. “We need to try to restore some more of the highway user fees because the municipalities and the counties are really strapped in terms of trying to even fill in the potholes,” she said. “I know we did get a lot of state funds to continue the expansion of 113, but I know when I’ve talked to the towns of Willards and the towns of Pittsville – the smaller towns – they’re really struggling because

they don’t have the resources to keep up with the demands. “We also need to make sure that we are accessing revenue sources that will be beneficial to the state of Maryland as a whole – and in our district,” Davis continued. “I support the Millionaire’s Tax as a revenue generator, and they’re talking about something called ‘combined reporting’ for companies that operate in multiple states to make sure that – if they’re earned profit in the state of Maryland – that they do participate in paying some taxes.” Davis called for increased access for job trainings in critical areas of need, as well as support of existing programs that allow people to expand and create new businesses. “I am not a career politician and am running on my life experiences to serve our community,” she said. “I have a heart for this community, I fell in love with the people and the environment when I moved here in ’73 to attend Salisbury State, and I have lived in our area for 40 years, raising my family, teaching our kids and volunteering. I have a heart for service and I would like to extend my volunteering capacities working for the state to benefit our community.” Businesswoman Mary Beth Carozza is running unopposed on the republican ticket. The general election will be held on November 4.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Señor Cigars owners Bruce and Carolyn Kennington are happy with the new location of their cigar shop in the 33rd Street Plaza. After moving from a two-decade stay in their 78th Street store, “I think it’s going to be really good,” Bruce said.

Señor Cigars opens in new spot on 33rd St. in OC

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) With the installation of its sign this week, Señor Cigars can finally call its 33rd Street shop home. The cigar shop featuring some hard-to-find brands operated out of its 78th Street location for more than a decade, but moved about a month ago when that building’s ownership changed hands. The change has been good, said Bruce and Carolyn Kennington, coowners of the shop. “It’s totally different,” Carolyn said of the new location. “I think it’s going to be really good,” said Bruce. The Kenningtons started negotiations for their 33rd Street storefront last November, landing on a lease March 1. Then came a slew of renovations, from installing an indoor smoking lounge to a 400-square-foot, walk-in humidor. “It was a lot of work,” Carolyn said. “It was a whole build-out.”

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

With its new sign out front, it’s hard to miss Señor Cigars, the new cigar shop in the 33rd Street Plaza.

The effort was worth it, though, as the new Señor Cigars boasts the upscale, indoor lounge where visitors can enjoy more than 200 cigars bearing more than 100 makers’ marks

sold at the shop. And with its collection of animals Bruce brought back from safaris in Africa and British Columbia decking the walls, the lounge See MORE Page 39

By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (June 6, 2014) Have you ever wondered what qualifications your Realtor encompasses? To be a licensed Realtor, there is a detailed list of requirements, not only to obtain your license initially, but also to maintain your license with ongoing continuing education. To initially obtain a license from Maryland, Realtors are required to complete a course of instruction in Real Estate Principles and Practices for Salespersons. This course of instruction shall be either the Realtors Institute of Maryland (G. R. I.) Course I, consisting of a minimum of 60 clock-hours of instruction, and sponsored by the Maryland Association of Realtors; or a course approved by the Maryland Real Estate Commission, consisting of a minimum of 60 clockhours of instruction. The minimum 60 clock-hour educational requirement for a salesperson shall include the following areas of study: Principles of Real Property; Landlord-Tenant Relationship; Real Estate Contracts; Rules of Agency and Listings; Transfer of Title to Real Property; Title Insurance and Settlements; Fundamentals of Appraising; Real Estate Finance; Maryland Real Estate License Law; Regulations of the Real Estate Commission; Details of the Code of Ethics; Laws and Practices Covering Human Rights and Community Relations; Basic Mathematics Pertaining to the Real Estate Industry; Property Condition Disclosure; and Laws and Regulations Covering Hazardous Substances. Once a Realtor license is obtained, the continuing education requirement in Maryland is currently 15 hours every two years that include the following: Maryland Real Estate Commission Agency-Residential course; Legislative course, Fair Housing course, MD Code of Ethics course and four and a half hours of electives. Quadrennial ethics training is also a membership requirement in the National Association of Realtors. This required ethics course covers NAR’s Code of Ethics and describes specific articles throughout the document. As an example, here are a few of the Standards of Practice from Article 1 of the Code of Ethics which is the first article that addresses a Realtor’s duties to clients and customers. • Standard of Practice 1-3: Realtors, in attempting to secure a listing, shall See REALTORS Page 39

Precious’ Boutique in WOC features handmade items

More than 200 cigars available Continued from Page 38 is one-of-a-kind. Visitors come to the store to do more than smoke in the indoor or outside areas, though — most are on the hunt for the perfect cigar. “We consider ourselves a cigar boutique because we specialize in things that are hard to find,” Carolyn said. That includes cigars ranging from $2 to $30 apiece and brands such as OpusX, Liga Privada, Ashton anniversary collections and Padron anniversary collections. Newcomers need not feel intimidated if they don’t recognize the names, though — the Kenningtons’ staff is well versed in cigars and can help guide customers. “If you’ve never smoked a cigar to if you are a cigar aficionado, we can help you,” Carolyn said. The shop also carries cigar-cutters, lighters, humidors and e-cigars. The Kenningtons have been in the cigar business for 20 years, though they aren’t cigar-smokers themselves. A former IMB employee, Bruce said the move started at the Mall in Columbia, where the Kenningtons ran several kiosks. “We accidentally got into the business because Carolyn was talking to the mall management,” he said.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Señor Cigars’ new 33rd Street location features an upscale smoking lounge with a big-screen TV, plenty of seating and décor from owner Bruce Kennington’s safaris in Africa and British Columbia.

“They were talking about maybe opening a cigar shop,” and Carolyn jumped on the opportunity. After some time, the Kenningtons moved from the mall to Ocean City. As Carolyn put it, “We just saw the need down here” for a cigar shop. The Kenningtons ran their business out of a repurposed home on 78th Street for 20 years, but both agree the move to the 33rd Street Plaza should

Huang honored for stellar service in healthcare at AGH

(June 6, 2014) Thirteen health workers from across the country were recently honored in Washington, D.C., for their extraordinary service in healthcare. The REAL Awards presentation, which took place on Capitol Hill, was emceed by Cokie Roberts, political commentator for ABC News. Jane-hwa Huang, a clinical oncology pharmacist at Atlantic General Hospital’s Outpatient Infusion Center, was recognized with 12 others, including a certified nursing assistant who cares for autistic children, an occupational therapist who works mainly with children after they undergo dramatic surgeries and a midwife who works every day to reduce the infant mortality amongst African Americans in Washington, D.C.

The shop will remain open yearround. Contact Señor Cigars at 410-5242069.

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Since April 19, Precious’ Boutique has been bringing an eclectic collection of handmade crafts to West Ocean City shoppers. Tucked away in the Herring Creek Professional Center on Route 50, the shop features everything from handmade soaps and candles to jewelry, artwork and owner Debbie Byrd’s own hand-sewn items such as dresses, purses and an array of stuffed animals. “It’s been a dream for a long, long time,” Byrd said of opening her shop. Put simply, “I like doing crafts,” she said. Sewing since her childhood, Byrd has always had a creative hand. To compliment her own goods in the shop, however, she needed the help of other artists. As a craft show promoter for Gold Coast Mall on 115th Street in Ocean City for more than 20 years, finding them that wasn’t hard for Byrd. She brought in local names like Patricia Schlottman, a jeweler based in Berlin, and “crazygamma” hand-knit clothing and accessories by Montego Bay’s Linda Veach. Other items range from off-the-wall lamps to cat furniture, cosmetics and artwork. To celebrate the local and regional See BYRD Page 40

Byrd to present Artisans Happy Hour every month

Huang honored for commitment and compassion

Continued from Page 39 artists featured in her store, Byrd is hosting an Artisans Happy Hour every month in her shop, starting next Wednesday with a reception for Patricia Schlottman from 6-8 p.m. Opening the boutique “took a lot of work,” from painting and stenciling the floors to installing display cases, Byrd said. But now the effort is starting to pay off as business “is starting to pick up,” she said. Byrd plans to continue bringing new vendors to her store and is searching out a leather artist, stained glass artist and birdhouse creator to feature. And, in a boutique named after her own dog, Precious, it is only fitting that Byrd is planning to add her first handmade dog beds to the store merchandise soon. Her hopes for the boutique are that it will be successful enough to become her full-time job and eventually outgrow its current location, Byrd said. She plans to keep the store open year-round. Precious’ Boutique is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The store will hold extended hours Wednesday, June 11, for the Artisans Happy Hour from 6-8 p.m. Visit the boutique online at www.facebook.com/Precious.Boutique.

Continued from Page 39 lates Huang for being recognized during The REAL Awards ceremony. She was honored for her commitment to her field and the compassion she brings to her patients each day. “I love my work and that what I do helps to save lives. Receiving recognition for my professional accomplishments and for the compassion I bestow upon my patients is an honor and one that I hope inspires others to join this profession,” Huang said. These recipients join 16 global honorees from 12 countries that are being honored in their home towns over the next several weeks. The awards presentation coincided with World Health Worker Week, which aims to mobilize communities, partners and policymakers in support of health workers all across the globe. By some estimates, the world is short more than 5 million health workers, including one million frontline health workers. The U.S. alone is estimated to be short about 16,000 primary care doctors, a number that is expected to swell to 45,000 by 2020.

OCEAN CITY TODAY/LISA CAPITELLI

First place in the open division of the 34th annual Ocean City Shark Tournament when to Blake McGrath for the 346-pound thresher he caught on Reel Instigator last Saturday. Teammate Bob Sawyer also hooked a 148-pound blue shark during the tournament. The crew was awarded $5,850.

Big mako, thresher win top prizes Eighteen boats registered for 34th annual OC Shark Tournament, May 29-31

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 6, 2014) Ocean City Shark Tournament organizers incorporated several changes this year to simplify the competition and make it more affordable for participants. One major adjustment was the tournament dates. In the early years, the fishing competition was held in midJuly. It was then moved to the last week in June, and in the mid-90s the tournament was held in mid-June, Father’s Day weekend, and it had remained that time period until this year. The 2014 tournament took place last weekend, May 29-31. “I think it was a move in the right direction,” said Mark Sampson, co-director of the tournament. Comments from participants about

the date change and the streamlined tournament format were positive, Sampson said. Eighteen boats registered for the 34th annual Ocean City Shark Tournament. Teams could fish two of three tournament days. Because of poor conditions, no boats went out last Thursday so all 18 were eligible to fish Friday and Saturday. Sean Hogan of Morganville, N.J. was the first to weigh a fish at the Ocean City Fishing Center in West Ocean City, last Friday. He landed a 314-pound mako aboard Sweetie to take top honors in the division. The fish was worth $10,170. Nate Leader of Sudlerville, Md. finished in second place in the mako division with a 193 pounder he reeled in aboard Keep ‘Er Wet. He received $6,660. First place in the open division when to Blake McGrath of Ocean City for the 346-pound thresher he caught on the Reel Instigator. Teammate Bob Sawyer

of Port Deposit, Md. hooked a 148pound blue shark. The crew was awarded $5,850. Mike Kreiser’s 203-pound thresher he reeled in on Teaser, earned the Jonestown, Pa. resident $3,240. Ricky DeWitt of Masontown, WVa. landed a 132-pound blue shark aboard the Restless Lady and won $972. Parsonsburg, Md. resident, Mike Ennis, was presented a check for $648 for his 131-pound blue shark caught aboard Intimidator. Maryland resident, Curt Howell hooked a 98-pound blue shark aboard Still Searchin’ and took home $1,440. There were no entries in the bluefish division. The Nontypical crew released four makos, nine sandbar sharks and 13 blues to finished first in the division. The team was awarded $8,226. Anglers aboard Absolute Pleasure let three makos and nine blue sharks go to take second place in the release diviSee NEW Page 42

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 6, 2014) Boat captains will take anglers offshore in search of mako and thresher sharks and bluefish during the 18th annual Mako Mania Shark Tournament, which starts today, Friday, and concludes Sunday. “It’s been a long, hard, cold winter and people are anxious to go out fishing,” Earl Conley, Mako Mania co-organizer, said last week. The first mako of the season, a 214pounder, was caught on May 9, by Hayden Christoff aboard the Restless Lady. A number of makos as well as threshers and blue sharks have been boated since. During the 34th annual Ocean City Shark Tournament, held May 29-31, 15 sharks–six makos, seven blues and two threshers–were brought to the Ocean City Fishing Center scale in West Ocean City. A 314-pound mako took first place in the tournament. A 346-pound thresher finished in the top spot in the open division. A total of 108 sharks were released during the competition–13 makos, 85 blues and nine sandbars. “There’s some big threshers and some big makos out there. Hopefully this weekend we’ll have a good mix of sharks,” Conley said. “Tuna fishing keeps getting better, so hopefully the mako bite will keep getting better…It’s definitely heating up and hopefully the peak will be this weekend.” The entry fee is $500 per boat for up to four anglers. Two additional anglers — to make a six-person team — may be added to a boat at $50 each. There will be a one day (different team) entry fee of $300 for charter boats. Anglers will fish two of three days, Friday through Sunday, June 6-8. All fish must be weighed in at Bahia Marina. Scales will open at 3:30 p.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to watch the weigh-ins, which typically draw a large crowd. Mako Mania, presented by Bahia Marina Tournaments, has added entry categories for the heaviest thresher shark and bluefish. Prize money will be awarded for the three heaviest mako sharks and top two bluefish. Winner takes all for the heaviest thresher. There will also be a $1,000 bonus mako (heaviest mako winner takes all) calcutta. Entering this category will increase the amount of prize money paid out to the angler who lands the largest mako.

Nate Leader of Sudlerville, Md. finished in second place in the mako division of the 34th annual Ocean City Shark Tournament with a 193 pounder he reeled in aboard Keep 'Er Wet last Saturday. He received $6,660.

Continued from Page 41 sion. The crew won $5,364. Thirteen-year-old Evan Carmen landed a 142-pound blue shark on All Hooked Up. The fish put him in first place in the youth division. He pocketed $500 for the catch. Ten-year-old Jimmy Tippett released one mako and four blues aboard Absolute Pleasure. He received $250. Eleven-year-old Noah Morris released one blue shark while fishing on Intimidator. He was presented with a rod and reel. Fifteen sharks–six makos, seven blues and two threshers–were brought to the scale. One hundred and eight sharks were released–13 makos, 85 blues and nine sandbar. “Moving the tournament up (from mid-June to the end of May), we only saw four types of sharks. In mid-June you see more variety of sharks because the water is warmer,” Sampson said. “Blue sharks dominated the catches.” The total payout for the 2014 tournament was $43,320. “Everything went very smoothly. It went well for those who participated,” Sampson said. “With 18 boats, we had a good number of fish coming in. I was kind of surprised by that. Everybody seemed to catch fish. To coin the phrase, ‘a good time was had by all.’”

Annual Seahawk Summer Basketball Camp, June 23-26 SDHS boys’ team Coach BJ Johnson and staff will help young players develop skills

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (June 6, 2014) The Stephen Decatur High School boys’ basketball program will present the fifth annual Seahawk Summer Basketball Camp, June 23-26. Byron “BJ” Johnson, the school’s varsity basketball head coach, is accepting registration. The camp was originally scheduled for June 16-19, but BJ Johnson due to unforeseen problems in the Berlin school building, Johnson moved the camp to June 23-26. The coed camp is open to children in grades 3-12 and will take place Monday through Thursday. Campers in grades 3-8 will practice from 9 a.m. to noon at the Berlin high school. Participants in grades 9-12 will have their training session from 1-4 p.m. Athletes will receive a T-shirt, basketball and individual and team lessons. They will also participate in contests and two-on-two, three-onthree and five-on-five competitions. The camp also focuses on fundamentals and development, ability and age grouping and post and perimeter development. Participants are encouraged to bring their own drink and to wear comfortable playing shoes. Basketballs will be provided. Johnson, the 2013-14 Bayside Conference South Coach of the Year, has 26 years of coaching experience with a number of those years leading local teams. The Seahawks’ 2013-14 season ended with a 66-51 loss to the Westlake Wolverines in the MPSSAA 3A South Regional tournament championship game on March 7. After a 4-4 start, Decatur finished the season 186. The Seahawks competed in the Bayside Conference title game for the first time in program history. They

lost 64-61 in overtime to Easton. This was Johnson’s first season as head coach of the Seahawks. He was an assistant under Mark Engle two seasons prior. Johnson has brought in several coaches to help run the summer camp this year. “Our main goal in preparing campers for court action is to focus much of our basketball instruction on fundamentals. We have put together a list of skills that each player should be able to successfully complete by the end of camp,” Johnson stated in his camp brochure. “We feel that fundamentals are vital to the game of basketball, and without proper skills, players will not be able to attain success at the next level. Instrumental in our focus of fundamentals will be our coaching staff, who all have previous coaching and playing experience at the highest level of basketball.” Joining Johnson will be Greg “Bubby” Brown, the 2001 player of the year in Wicomico County. In 2002 he was named the all-time leading three-point shooter at Wi-Hi. Brown also made All-Rookie First Team in the MEAC conference while at UMES. Also on the camp’s coaching staff is Craig Winder. He set the all-time scoring record in Wicomico County in 2002. He was a JUCO college AllAmerican and scored 1,000 points in two seasons at Cecil Community College. Winder also competed for the University of Texas for two seasons. In 2010, he played for the Adelaide 36ers (NBL-Australia) and for the NBA D-League champions, Rio Grande Valley Vipers (Houston Rockets). He was the back-to-back scoring champion, logging 27.2 points per game, for UAE Dubai. Early registration for the camp is recommended. The cost is $90. Registration will also be available at the door for $100. Make checks payable to Maryland Supreme Basketball, 9114 Croppers Island Rd. Newark, Md. 21841. The high school is located at 9913 Seahawk Rd. in Berlin. For more information call Johnson at 443-3739546.

Surf Swap and paddleboard race event successful

(June 6, 2014) More than 75 stand-up paddle boarders came out to participate in the fifth annual Fager’s Island Surf Swap and Paddle Board event held Sunday at Fager’s Island to benefit the Maryland Coastal Bays Program. Windy conditions provided a challenging race for the 68 athletes paddling through a 5-mile or 2.5-mile course. Terry Kent was the top 18-49 men’s overall age group finisher for the 5-mile race with a time of 48:27.49 and Scott Jorss was the top overall finisher for the 50+ men’s diSee TWENTY-SIX Page 46

and North Carolina. Athletes participating in coed, boys’, girls’, men’s and women’s divisions will play about 950 games this weekend across four blocks of beach. The U-8 to U-13 boys’ and girls’ youth divisions will hit the sand Saturday and the U-14 to U-18 and adult divisions will play Sunday. Wilson said the age of athletes ranges from 5 years old to about 40. “We have recreational divisions for teams just looking to come down and have fun playing soccer on the beach [and] competitive divisions for the travel teams looking to compete and win against other teams of their skill level,” Wilson said. “There is also a Men’s Open division where the win-

ning team wins a cash prize.” Game will be five-on-five. Matches will consist of two 12-minute halves. Each team is guaranteed three games. The winners and runners-up in each division will receive a commemorative Sand Duels Beach Soccer award. “Some teams use this as an end-ofthe-year tournament to do one last fun thing together until they see each other for the fall season,” Wilson said. “For college and adult players, this is a fun way for all of them to play together since they don’t see each other all year. Other teams just like to keep coming back year after year for the good experiences they have had, or to try and win it all.”

(June 6, 2014) The Ocean City Beach Patrol’s annual Captain Schoepf Relay will be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday, June 8, beginning in the location of his old stand on Seventh Street. Capt. Schoepf served on the beach patrol from 1950 to 1996, after more than 40 years of service to the Town of Ocean City. To honor his many years of service to OCBP, this annual relay is held in early June. The relay begins at Seventh Street and continues with the passing of a classic steel rescue buoy by alumni and current lifeguards to the end of Ocean City. Following the run, a swim the entire length of Ocean City is completed and the buoy is returned to the beach. Each year, the starting leg of the relay is completed by a member of Capt. Schoepf’s family or OCBP alumni. “This annual relay not only reminds everyone involved of the past contributions of George Schoepf, but also of the contribution and sacrifices of all past and present Beach Patrol lifeguards,” said Ocean City Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin. “It also keeps the current Surf Rescue Technicians (lifeguards) in touch with the beginning of this world class organization as they run and swim with an antique piece of lifesaving equipment (the metal buoy) that was once carried by all Ocean City lifeguards.” Capt. Schoepf began his career with the Ocean City Beach Patrol in 1950 and worked his way through the ranks, promoting to sergeant, then to lieutenant. With the approval of the Mayor and City Council, Schoepf became assistant to the captain in the late 1960’s and was appointed to captain in 1987.

The young cast of “Ping Pong Summer” is all smiles during the film’s Ocean City premier last Saturday at Fox Sun & Surf 8 on 143rd Street in Ocean City.

‘Ping Pong Summer’ debuts in Ocean City Private screening last week of movie filmed in resort; opens to public, June 6

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Two years after it began filming, “Ping Pong Summer” finally opens today, June 6, with its first public screenings. The Ocean City-centric feature film will debut at the Fox Sun & Surf 8 Cinema on 143rd Street. A private screening for cast members and town officials was held at the theater last Saturday. Set in 1985, “Ping Pong Summer” follows 15-year-old “Rad” Miracle, played by Marcello Conte, on his vacation in Ocean City. The awkward, hip hop-obsessed teenager turns to ping pong after being challenged by a local bully, played by Joseph McCaughtry. It was McCaughtry’s first filming experience. “I’m so excited,” he said during the premier. “Filming was insane; it was mind-blowing. It was like a dream come true; it was magical.” McCaughtry said it wasn’t easy playing the villain. “There was one scene where I have to pour milk on (Conte). It was 32-degree weather and I had to dump a half-gallon of freezing-cold milk on

him. I felt so bad. The whole time I was like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’” The anti-bullying message of the movie was important for the young actor. “It doesn’t really matter what time period you are in,” McCaughtry said. “It’s always going to be hard, it’s always going to have the same problems, bullying is always going to be a problem. You just have to find a way to overcome it and overcome your fears. That’s what the main kid goes through is overcoming his bullying problem from my character. He steps up and decides to learn something and beat me at it, and it gives me a respect for him at the end because he decides to stand up to me.” Andy Riddle play’s the bully’s comic relief sidekick. “It was great filming in Ocean City,” he said. “We didn’t have to do anything special to make it look 80’s – it was all just there.” Riddle enjoyed working with the film’s cast of established stars. “Working with such professional actors like Susan Sarandon, Lea Thompson, John Hannah – they were all great people and really fun to work with,” he said. “Hopefully everyone walks away with a smile on their face and is happy.” Frederick, Md. native Myles Massey, who plays Rad’s best friend,

“Teddy Fryy,” said filming in Ocean City was “a great experience.” “There was so much 80’s nostalgia going on here,” he said. “The buildings haven’t changed a bit. I come here for vacation sometimes and I really like skating around town. It has a really cool, beachy vibe. “It’s a really good family movie and I hope it gives people that family feeling,” Massey said. Producer Billy Peterson called Ocean City “the most generous, wel-

coming place you can imagine.” “This was kind of a unique project to take advantage of a place in time,” he said. “Our art department really used what you see (in town).” “We commented often that our set decoration was so minimal because apparently things haven’t changed here much since 1985,” said producer Jeffrey Allard. “Other than a couple Coke signs that we had to change here and there, everything that you see in See DIRECTOR Page 50

There’s a lot of vintage 1985.” Peterson said the movie was “a fun, light-hearted ode to the eighties,” while Allard compared “Ping Pong Summer” to “The Karate Kid,” “The Way Way Back” and “National Lampoon’s Vacation.” Writer/Director Michael Tully called the premier a “surreal” experience. “I started writing this movie in 1992 when I was a senior in high school in Frederick, Md., so the fact that I’m looking at the marque at the Sun & Surf where I went to see ‘The Karate Kid’ in 1985 is a really great feeling.” Tully said it was essential to film the movie in Ocean City. “Sometimes producers say it’s going to cost too much money to film on location, but in the scheme of our production value and what we were trying to accomplish – I’d written so many scenes for Paul Revere’s Smorgasbord, for that Old Pro course, so inherently those things were built in. “Just being here and actually making a dollar to direct this movie that I’ve been dreaming about for so long was amazing,” Tully continued. “The community support was great, and it was really important for me to be able to cast local talent. That was probably the thing I was most excited about.”

Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan introduced the screening last Saturday. “This is just the beginning,” he said. “It’s on the big screen for the first time here in Ocean City, but you’re going to see it everywhere starting June 6. I think everybody here is excited. All I’ve seen is people smile all evening.” Meehan thanked the town, Worcester County and the Tourism Advisory Board for supporting the movie. “This was the right thing to do,” he

said. “It was positive from the beginning and everybody stepped up and got behind it – that’s what made it successful.” The mayor also congratulated the young cast. “This was a fabulous opportunity for them and I know they’re going to make us all very proud and I’m sure it’s just the very beginning for all of them,” he said. “We’re very proud to be here with you tonight.” Reaction from the crowd was positive after the screening.

“I thought it was really good – there were some really funny parts during the movie,” said Ocean Pines native Corey Tobias. “It was a lot different from what I expected it to be – it was a lot better and the whole point of it being in Ocean City was really awesome.” “I liked it,” said Ocean City native Willie Rodgers. “The best thing about it was it captured (Rad Miracle’s) world at that age because everything is so surreal – the girl that you really like, but you’re not really sure about – I loved that. I got to relive a little bit of it.” Meehan said he thought the film was “great.” “The young actors were terrific,” he said. “I thought the scenery was great. It really depicted Ocean City. It was a fun story, everybody came out smiling and they all clapped – that’s what it was supposed to be about. Michael (Tully) always said it was supposed to be a fun movie and it was supposed to leave people in a good spirits and leave them happy, and that’s what it did. “I think this movie is going to be played all over the area and you’re going to see it on TV,” Meehan continued. “I think people that are familiar with Ocean City are going to relate to it and people that maybe haven’t been here before will say, ‘that might be a place to go.’” See POSITIVE Page 51

“My skills weren’t very good, but after that it got a lot better,” he said. “My favorite scene in the movie was probably either the H2O scene or the tournament in the end because I got to play so much ping pong.” Sun & Surf will show “Ping Pong Summer” at 12:30 p.m., 2:45 p.m., 5 p.m., 7:15 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Friday, June 6.

Longboard Team Challenge hosted by OC Surf Club

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) The Ocean City Surf Club will host its 14th Annual Longboard Team Challenge this weekend with three days of surfing and celebrations around the resort. For those who’ve never been, the Surf Club’s Shelly Dawson called it a “one-of-a-kind” event, with competitors of all ages and genders competing in teams of five at the beach. “It’s just a fun day, fun event, plus its for a good cause” — the OCSC, which runs local beach cleanups, does environmental education and gives funds back to the community, Dawson said. Events kick off today, Friday, with an Ocean City Legends party at Barn 34 on 34th Street. The evening will start at 6:30 p.m. with the OCSC awarding several thousands of dollars in scholarships to local high school graduates. There will be a deejay spinning tunes at the free event and anyone who’s a member of the Surf Club or is interested in the group is welcome. Saturday, hundreds will line the beach at Castle in the Sand Hotel on 37th Street from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. to see the Longboard Team Event. Up to 16 teams of five compete for trophies and bragging rights each year in the contest. “The team actually surfs together,” Dawson said. “If you bump into anybody, it’ll be your best friend.” Teams from Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, Delaware and Virginia as well as locals will compete in See SQUADS Page 52

This is my first movie and everything so I’m not really used to it. Everybody knows who I am, but I’m sure not who everyone else is. “It was great filming here,” he continued. “The beach, the Boardwalk, all the amusements, the people were great. My aunt actually lives around here so I used to come here.” The young star said the cast learned how to play ping pong during a two-day boot camp.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Things that usually come easily and quickly for the Aries Lamb might need more of your time and attention during the next several days. Try to be patient as you work things out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A

changing situation can create some complications. But if you apply that sensible Bovine mind to what seems to be a hopeless tangle of confusion, you’ll soon sort things out.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Creating a new look for your surroundings is fun. Expect to hear mostly positive comments on your efforts, as well as some well-intended suggestions you might want to note.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Maybe you’d rather do anything else than what you’re “stuck with” right now. But if you stop complaining, you might see how this could lead to something with real potential.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Even a proud Leo ultimately recovers from hurt feelings. However, a damaged relationship might never heal unless you’re willing to spend more time and effort trying to work things out. There are lots of changes on the horizon, so be prepared to make some adjustments in your usually fine-tuned life. One change might even impact a personal decision you’ve been putting off.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)

Being the dependable person you are could work in your favor for a project that requires both skill and accountability. But check this out carefully. There could be a hidden downside.

Squadron hosts Squads of five to compete in Longboard Team Challenge Blessing of Fleet Continued from Page 51 the all-day surf challenge, which draws around 300 to the beach each year, Dawson said. First- and second-place winners take home trophies, as does the team with the highest cumulative age, he said. There will be raffles and giveaways by local sponsors on the beach and those interested in joining the OCSC can sign up there. Spots in the Longboard Team Event remained open on Monday. Those interested should call Dawson at 410-713-2206 to see if they are still available. New this year, on Sunday, June 8, the Surf Club will wrap up the weekend with a Walk the Plank longboard invitational contest with cash prizes for the best of classic log riding. “We’re going to get our feet wet for a second day,” Dawson said. “There are some very talented pros, semipros and locals to watch.” Eight of the 16 surfing in the invitational event will receive a cash prize, including $1,000 for first place. Dawson took over organizing Ocean City’s Longboard Team Challenge 14 years ago and brought the event with him when he founded the OCSC earlier this year. Already, the non-profit “for surf-

(June 6, 2014) The Ocean City Power Squadron held its annual Blessing of the Fleet at the Ocean Pines Marina on June 1. All boaters in the area are always invited to participate in this event. The Blessing of the Fleet ceremony has been passed down through generations of sailors, fishermen, merchant mariners and navies around the world and is intended to safeguard crews and ships from the dangers of the seas through a traditional blessing given by a clergyman at the water’s edge. Past Commander Wally Stevenson, a member of the OCPS, provided the blessing this year. The event was attended by about 50 members and guests and was followed by a cruise either by sea on the newly blessed boats or by land by car to Seacrets on 49th Street for a lunch and social gathering. The Ocean City Power Squadron, as a part of the United States Power Squadrons–the oldest and largest recreational boater education organization in the country–provides boating seminars and courses to members and the public throughout the year and conducts free vessel safety checks to assure that boaters have all the necessary safety equipment on their vessels required by the US Coast Guard and the State of Maryland.

ing, by surfing” group has 300 members, mostly locals, but from as far afield as Florida, California and Maine. The group has run several beach cleanups, raised thousands for local scholarships and given environmental presentations at county schools in its first months. It has several surf clinics, cleanups and parties in the works for later this summer, Dawson said. “We seem to be doing very well so far in bringing funds in, but certainly more could be used,” he said. “Our intent is to spend virtually everything we make or receive on local issues.” Membership to the charitable group runs $25 a year and includes perks like discounts at local surf shops and restaurants. “Three months ago when we decided to do it, we didn’t have a bank account,” said Dawson. “It’s been unbelievably positive. It’s exciting.” He invites anyone in Ocean City to watch the longboard contests tomorrow and Sunday. “If you’ve never seen a surf competition, we have quite an array of talented folks of all ages,” he said. “This year we expect it to be bigger than ever.” Learn more about the Ocean City Surf Club at www.facebook.com/ oceancitysurfclub.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Walker: Halibut, or any white fish, fries well

By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (June 6, 2014) Perfection is a state that envisions no boundaries and at the same time is received with an astonishing degree of dissension. One possible explanation is that there is the assumption that flawlessness is based on completion. Finalization ceases the notion of development and therefore contradicts the essence of possibilities. The journey is the real teacher at hand. Another reasonable degree of variance is the fact that precision is subjective; in other words, a confluence of skill and memories recreates one’s own epoch of opinion. Therefore, ideology is a continuous circle with no commencement or conclusion. Cookery is devotion to truth that renders potential to many degrees. Compositions are analyzed in great detail and mushrooms the imagination of a chef beyond the spectrum of “ordinary.” That being said, even the simple act of frying fish is a mastery that has not only been sustained down to the very core of science but is also open for exploration and interpretation.

The language of the day is the art of “breading.” Fried foods are unique and known for their coveted crust. The purpose of the coating is to intensify and highlight the flavor. It also protects the internal food from the thermal maelstrom of the hot oil. The flour serves as a primer coat or glue; the egg mixture does not like to stick to wet surfaces. Point of interest - whole wheat flour does not yield the best results. Dipping food in an egg mixture as part of the frying process is standard but how much do we really know about the purpose intended? Besides acting as a sealant, eggs also attract fat which accelerates the browning process of cooking. Finally, the bread crumbs provide texture, flavor, and insulation. A ratio of two-thirds panko and one-third corn meal is the desired proportion for fried fish. Manufacturing a standard breading requires that each piece of fish move through an assembly line. Working with a wet hand and a dry hand simplifies the task at hand and ensures less fuss. The breading assembly line should consist of four stations: flour, an egg wash, bread crumbs, and a cooling rack. Using your left hand, dredge the dry fish in the flour. Shake off any ex-

cess flour. Pick up the floured fish with your right hand and dip in the egg and water mixture. Again shake off any excess liquid. Using your right hand, place the fish in the bread crumb mixture. Rather than flipping the fish, try to gather up enough crumbs to cover the top and then press down so that the crumbs adhere completely to the bottom. Finally allow the breaded fish to rest 20 to 30 minutes on the rack before introducing it to the fryer. When food is plunged into hot oil, the water in the food starts to boil and percolate toward the surface. As the starch fries in hot oil, it dries into a crisp exterior and protects the moisture within. Once the edges turn a golden brown, it is time to turn the fish. Turn the fish only one time and make sure it is away from you. Halibut, or any white fish, fries well. Frozen halibut is perfectly acceptable and easy on the wallet. There is nothing as comforting as crunchy, fried halibut with a moist, delectable center. Perfection is a chef’s companion. Ingredients 4 (4 ounce portions) of halibut. Rinsed and thoroughly dried in paper towels. 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)

2 eggs combined with 3 tablespoons cold water 2 cups panko bread crumbs 1 cup corn meal few pinches of garlic powder kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste canola oil for frying 1 rounded tablespoon bacon drippings 1. Set up the breading assembly line. 2. Dip the fish in flour, egg wash, and bread crumb mixture. Allow to rest briefly. 3. Heat canola oil and bacon drippings in a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. 4. Carefully place fish in skillet. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Fry until the bottom edges of the fish displays a golden brown color. Carefully flip the fish and cook another 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the halibut. 5. Allow to cool on racks briefly. Do not place directly on a plate lined with paper towels, the fish continues to cook and the bottom will become soggy. Serve immediately.

Worcester County Humane Soc. sees ‘amazing strides’ Worcester County Humane Society Director Linda Lugo holds one of the “tiny 20,� a group of dogs the shelter took in from a hoarding situation. Since taking over as director in mid-March, Lugo said the shelter has made “amazing strides.� OCEAN CITY TODAY/CLARA VAUGHN

Since director Linda Lugo started March 17, West OC shelter seems to be thriving

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Linda Lugo’s first day as the Worcester County Humane Society’s director was March 17. In just a few months, she said she’s seen “amazing strides� at the no-kill shelter. “I could not be happier,� Lugo said. “Adoption has been really, really on the move. Since I got here, we’ve probably done close to 50 adoptions. “People are coming in. We’re seeing an increase in traffic,� she said. One factor driving that foot traffic is the humane society’s new hours. The

shelter, which once closed at 3 p.m., is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days a week. The group also held its first general membership meeting in more than three decades, Lugo said, updating more than 100 attendees on the status of the shelter. That’s something she plans to do annually. But perhaps the biggest progress the humane society has made is in its finances. When its former director left last year, the organization was in a fiscal quagmire. From April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013, the organization lost about $81,000, Lugo said. From August of last year to this April 30, it made up for that deficit and was $10,961 “in the good,� she said. See HUMANE Page 60

ON GUARD

Digging holes in sand can be serious hazard Cave-ins occur on beaches worldwide; collapses more likely than shark attacks

By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (June 6, 2014) There is a danger lurking out there if you are heading to the beach and most people are not even aware of it. It’s not sharks or jellyfish; in fact it is not even water related–it’s the sand. Digging holes in the sand can be a serious hazard for you and your family. Lots of people dig holes in the sand, but they don’t know their holes can quickly cave in and trap those inside. The rule is simple and straightforward: you can dig holes on the beach as long as they only take up a small area and are no deeper than the knees of the smallest person in the group. There is absolutely no tunneling allowed. Sand hole cave-ins happen on beaches all over the world and this includes Ocean City. Last summer it happened on a beach that I was on. I watched the lifeguard get off his stand and explain to two children

that they couldn’t dig tunnels and they had to cover them up. It appeared that they complied. Unfortunately, one tunnel was only partially filled in and a baby crawled in the hole and it caved in. Luckily it wasn’t that deep and the parent extracted the child before it was a life-threatening emergency. Five summers ago in Ocean City, an 11-year-old boy attempted to dig a shallow tunnel between two holes. The tunnel collapsed and he was buried alive, headfirst, with only his feet exposed. There was nothing he could do to save himself. The more he struggled the tighter packed the sand around him became. Lucky for him, a girl noticed the trouble and alerted a family member who began efforts to free the child from the sand that not only was trapping him but also taking his life. As several minutes passed, the situation became frenzied when the mom screamed for help. The scream of terror brought several nearby beach patrons to assist with unearthing the trapped child, however, these efforts were making little progress and in actuality were making the situation worse, which is usually the case with a bystander response. As the first lifeguards arrived on

the scene they immediately went to work and with a more organized effort were able to recover the lifeless body of the boy. (This is a skill that surf rescue technicians are trained in and practice each season for emergencies such as these.) They performed CPR and this story had a happy ending. In fact the family still keeps in touch (they send pictures of Reno at each milestone in his life) remaining forever grateful, knowing that Reno and his family narrowly escaped a tragedy that day on 35th Street. For some hole diggers, the story can have a deadly ending. We try to tell people about the dangers of digging holes in the sand before their, often-intricate, pit digging plans get too far underway. There is something about a day at the beach that makes people want to dig and most people don’t realize the dangers. ‘ Digging a shallow hole to lie down in and get covered up for a picture is funny and safe. But anything deeper than the knee is not. Out on the beach digging holes has become just another part of the vacation like looking for sand crabs or eating fries on the boardwalk. Our SRTs always do their best to monitor the different situations on their beaches, but on a day when the

water is busy and the beach is crowded with umbrellas, diggers can make dangerous amounts of progress in the sand before they are asked to fill in their holes. SRTs are often asked by hole diggers why deep holes are not allowed. Let us review the facts. Deep holes are dangerous just about anywhere they are found and people usually try to avoid falling into them. Sand holes are particularly dangerous because they can collapse on the people digging them. Also, the vacation-oriented mindset of hole diggers clouds judgment and people tend to underestimate the possible dangers of jumping in and out of a giant sandpit. Many times people want to get their picture taken in the hole that they dug not realizing that at any given moment the sand can cave in around them. Once a person is buried in the sand it is very difficult if not impossible to dig them out and have a positive outcome. Sand shifts back into place even as people try to move the sand off of a trapped victim. Interviewing several people that attempted to help the 11-year-old boy referred to in the above Ocean City emergency confirmed that this was See BUILD Page 61

Humane society counts on donations to keep it running

MURRELL GRADUATES FROM AIR FORCE ACADEMY Andrew G. Murrell graduated from the United States Air Force Academy on May 28 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. He was awarded his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering by vice president Joseph Biden during the graduation ceremonies. During his four years at the academy, Murrell excelled by being on the Dean’s list (academics) and Commandant’s list (military duties) every semester and finished ranked 136th in his class of approximately 1,000 cadets. In addition, he graduated as a Military Cadet of Distinction. Murrell received his free-fall parachuting wings, soloed in light, powered aircraft and also flew gliders in the soaring program. In his senior year, he served as one of the 40 squadron commanders in the wing of 4,000 cadets and was responsible for the 110 cadets in his group. Participating in the Big Brothers, Big Sisters organization for the last three years, he mentored a local Colorado Springs foster child. Murrell is due to report for pilot training at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi in August. Murrell is a 2010 graduate of Stephen Decatur High School. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Murrell from Bishopville and the grandson of Elizabeth Murrell from Salisbury.

Continued from Page 56 “We have a lot better control of the funds. There’s been accounting for every dollar that comes in and every dollar that goes out,” Lugo said. “We have a much better control over veterinary costs, payroll — those are the two big ones.” The shelter’s payroll salaries added up to more than $100,000 in the 2012-2013 time period, but totaled $59,459 during the second time period, she said. Another move forward has been networking with other, similar groups. The humane society recently took in 20 small dogs in the aftermath of a hoarding situation in Pocomoke, dubbing them the “tiny 20.” “We had them about three, maybe four weeks and we’ve adopted out 11,” Lugo said. “They’re doing fantastic in their new homes.” The shelter also took in three dogs from Somerset County’s animal control that the Somerset shelter could not house. “It’s nice to be able to reach out to other shelters and rescues and help them,” Lugo said. Volunteer hours are up, helping socialize the shelter’s animals, keep facilities clean and make fundraisers a success. Between this March 22 and

about the same day in May, volunteers logged 1,960 hours, she said. The society has a new look for its Web site and has been using Facebook to keep more than 3,000 followers up-to-date on events and fundraisers. The group appeared at its annual Board Walkin’ for Pets event, hosted a fundraiser golf tournament on Thursday and has visited the local farmers’ market, Walmart, Home Depot and Burley Oak Tavern since Lugo arrived. The goal is “to increase our visibility, to promote adoptions, donations and volunteers, and just to promote the shelter,” Lugo said. “I think it’s very important that we do network.” Other than funding from the Town of Ocean City, the bulk of the shelter’s funding comes from donations, she said. “I’m just so excited about how far we’ve come and I think this year is going to continue to be a banner year for us,” Lugo said. “Everything just keeps rolling.” Visit the humane society online at www.worcestercountyhumanesociety.org or www.facebook.com/WorCoHumaneSociety. Visit the shelter from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday except Sunday and Wednesday at 12330 Eagles Nest Road in Berlin.

ON GUARD

Build castles or collect shells instead of digging sand holes Continued from Page 59 exactly what was happening to them. As they feverishly attempted to remove the sand that was trapping the boy, more sand just as quickly took its place. One might be amazed that it would take 40 people 30 minutes to free a buried victim. Just as a person can drown in a small amount of water it does not take a very deep hole to trap a child and once trapped due to the nature and instability of sand holes a person could parish before being freed. Hence, the rule that the hole may only be as deep as the knee of the smallest person in the group of people digging the hole. I have heard some people say that people being buried alive under the sand is an old wives tale that lifeguards use to scare people into obeying a rule. Let’s look at the startling statistics. More than several dozen young people have been killed over the last decade on beaches in the United States when their hole or sand tunnel collapsed on them. Harvard researcher, Bradley Maron, who has been tracking sand hole collapses worldwide for the past decade says that 60 percent have been fatal. When you look at sand hole collapses worldwide the number dramatically increases and if you look at entrapments that do not end in the death of the trapped individual, the statistics would report hundreds each year. Interestingly, people always ask about sharks, which have never been a problem in Ocean City, however, national statistics comparing sand hole collapses to shark attacks confirms that you are far more likely to experience a sand hole collapse than a shark attack. (A person has a 1 in 3,748,067 chance of a shark attack fatality). So instead of asking every lifeguard how many shark attacks there were this year, people should

ask, how many sand hole collapses occurred. It is unbelievable that a vacation could end so tragically, but it does happen. Use your common sense and keep your hole digging to a safe depth or try a new, less work-intensive vacation tradition such as building a sandcastle, hunting for shells, reading a book in the shade or enjoying a rare midday nap. If you do dig a hole, never leave it unattended and make sure that you fill it in before you leave for the day. This year with all the beach replenishment and the newly planted dunes we are finding that children are being drawn to play in the dunes and dig. Although this has never been allowed we want to urge parents and beach patrons to stay off the dunes to allow them to grow and protect our beach. As dangerous as regular sand hole digging is, tunneling into the side of a sand dune is even far more dangerous to all involved. Please stay off the dunes. The Ocean City beach has one of the cleanest, finest sand you will find anywhere. Enjoy it, but please do so in a safe manner. One thing that you can always do to remain safe is limit beach activity to a time when lifeguards are on duty. If any of the above near tragic situations had occurred when lifeguards were not on duty, there is no doubt the victims would not have survived. Many years ago this exact situation occurred along condo row at 7 p.m. and resulted in the death of a 12-year-old and still impacts the fire department responders today. Because of the worldwide impact of sand hole collapses, OCBP has contributed to several national news features to educate the public about the dangers of sand holes. To view these, visit www.ococean.com/ocbp and click on the “safety� button. Remember to always keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand; it could safe a life, yours.

(June 6, 2014) Join the Art League of Ocean City on Friday, June 6, from 5-7 p.m. at the OC Center for the Arts on 94th Street for the opening reception of the June exhibits. Complimentary refreshments will be served and admission is free. “Journeys into Abstraction” in the Thaler gallery, explores the work of artists Richard Alan Fox and Jonathan Spivak. The Galleria will showcase a photography and digital media exhibit by ALOC members and local artists with judge Dean Peterson, professor of art at Salisbury University. Sandra Esham will be the artist in residence in Studio E and Olivia Kershaw Smith will be the Member’s Spotlight artist. Fox will be exhibiting a grouping of paintings collectively titled “Stochastic Spirals.” Stochastic is defined as: randomly determined; having a random probability or pattern that may be analyzed statistically but may not be predicted precisely. His paintings are statements of color and form, yielding to the sub-

tleties of tonal harmony. Each threefoot canvas contains a spiral that starts in the right hand corner and continues to the center. The negative space is painted in tones of blue green and yellow. This is the first time the New Yorkbased artist has exhibited in Maryland. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia as well as private collections throughout the country. Fox earned a BA in painting from The City College of New York and his MA in photography from San Francisco State University. Spivak is an abstract artist based out of Bethany Beach. He uses liquid acrylics and acrylics mixed with water as his medium. His paintings have been featured in the Phillip Morton Gallery and Gallery 50 in Rehoboth Beach and the Bethany Beach restaurants, Off the Hook and Café on 26. Born and raised in New York, Spivak began to experiment with painting in the late 70’s and has painted seriously since the late 80’s. He moved to Bethany Beach in 1993 and opened Sedona, the first of his three celebrated restaurants. The other See PHOTOGRAPHY Page 63

American Legion Post #166 honors Preziotti and Bear

(June 6, 2014) Tina Preziotti and Katie Bear were recently honored by American Legion Auxiliary Unit #166. Preziotti was chosen from a group of about 20 candidates as the American Legion Auxiliary Unit #166 20132014 Member of the Year. This past year, she volunteered more than 500 hours within the American Legion Family and surrounding community. She served as first vice president of the auxiliary which duties included assisting the president as needed, getting out communications to members about events and meetings and serving as membership chair where she played a major part in not only helping the auxiliary reach its membership goal, but exceed it. She also chaired the auxiliary’s annual bingo luncheon and was part of the committee that planned and hosted the Worcester County Developmental Center Christmas party. Other auxiliary activities she participated in included representing the unit at the Veterans Day program, gathering donations for the basket of cheer fundraiser, stuffing stockings to be donated to the Salvation Army at Christmas, assisting at annual Christmas party, volunteering at the weekly bingos, filling Easter baskets for children at Diakonia, placing ads for post events, clipping coupons for the national security committee and writing the acceptance letter to this year’s scholarship winner. As a legion family team player she has served meals and bartended at several events held at the post (weddings, chili cook-offs, First Responder’s dinner), collected gifts for the Sons of the American Legion sponsor family at Christmas and helped out at the Sons of the American Legion convention. Preziotti exemplifies what it means to be a part of the American Legion Family and community. Junior member Katie Bear of Synepuxent Unit #166 and a junior at Stephen Decatur High School has been working junior projects for the year of 2013-2014. Operation We Care Program for our troops heads the top of the list. Katie coordinated this event filling two pick up truckloads of items needed by our troops in the war zone. She also was involved with raising over $500 to help with the postage to mail the boxes to the troops. Katie also made herself available to be at the American Legion Post #166 in Ocean City to sort the collected items and prepare them for packing. On packing day she helped pack 104 boxes that were sent to the troops. Katie spent over 30 hours working on this Americanism project. Bear was named Junior Auxiliary Member of the Year, 2013-14.

(June 6, 2014) Linda Cain will present “Music Rocks Autism” to raise awareness about, understanding of and money for autism research and treatment from noon to close, Saturday, June 14, at the Oasis Bar’N’ Grill in Whaleyville. “My little boy, Jacob, is autistic. Being a single parent I spend all my time with him. He has a great reaction to music [and] it makes him smile,” she said. “The founding of Music Rocks Autism came about when he wrote me a note asking if he was invisible. He asked after a bus ride home from Kennedy Krieger (Institute in Baltimore), because people were looking away.” “I wanted to change that. So, I started doing Music Rocks Autism to include autistic musicians and autistic families. Now, many families come to the events regularly,” she continued. “They dance and they are among everyone and, instead of looking away, we look toward them, extend our hands, and we all dance and smile.” The Kennedy Krieger Institute operates the Center for Autism and Re-

lated Disorders. Cain’s mission is to travel around the country and make known autism and those affected by it shouldn’t be shunned. She is currently booked to present her concerts in seven states. “I ask that everyone donate to an autism organization. I choose different autism organizations at different shows, or I give to a family that is coping with autism,” she said. Autism Speaks National Capital Area chapter will benefit from her performance at Oasis. “My mission is to spread acceptance and awareness and, so far, it has been welcomed and we’re able to continue working so that my son Jacob, and others like him are given a voice through music,” she said. Bands that will perform include Absinthe, Hate The Toy, Dust N Bones, Bitches Brew, Hell Pie, Baby Jayne, Never the Sun, Ven Detta, Runin’ With Scizors and Old School OC. Admission to the event is a $10 donation. The Oasis Bar ’N’ Grill is located at 7539 Old Ocean City Road, Whaleyville.

Search for ghosts on Ocean City Boardwalk Walking tour offered every Wednesday night; covers approx. 10 historic spots

By Clara Vaughn Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Thrill-seekers of all ages meet every Wednesday night at the southern end of the Boardwalk to take part in Ocean City’s ghost tour. The walking tour is one of 12 run by Chesapeake Ghost Tours, the brainchild of travel writer and author Mindie Burgoyne. Of all the towns, she says Ocean City is home to her favorite spooky stories. “It’s a very rich tour,” Burgoyne said. “Ocean City didn’t grow up like normal Mindie Burgoyne towns. Everything about Ocean City and its history was about vacations. All of the stories were… centered around happy, romantic, summertime family vacations, and that translates into the tour.” Ocean City’s ghost walk covers more than 10 historic spots from the inlet to Fourth Street. It starts at the Life-Saving Station Museum, which has several accounts of paranormal activity, and includes Trimpers

menagerie carousel and the Shoreham Hotel, one of only two sites with the “haunted trifecta” — a murder, suicide and accidental death all in one spot — on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Burgoyne said. She originally led the tours herself, but as their popularity swelled, she trained tour guides to deliver the history-rich walks. The local guides have weeks of training under their belts in everything from how to operate within the confines of local government to the art of telling stories and the deeprooted history behind the hauntings. “Part of why this is so successful is because they’re so passionate,” Burgoyne said. Last year Chesapeake Ghost Tours’ walks in Ocean City were so popular that of dozens of tours, all but a handful sold out, she said. Visitors can also get a taste of haunted Berlin through the tours, which operate every Thursday night in the town just a few miles outside the resort. The tours start at the downtown Atlantic Hotel, taking walkers to a graveyard stop, the Maryland Wine Bar and other haunted spots around town. There are also three walking ghosts that have been sighted around town and a non-human spirit, Burgoyne said.

PHOTO COURTESY CHESAPEAKE GHOST TOURS

The spirits of 12 different people are said to haunt sites along Ocean City’s Boardwalk between the inlet and Fourth Street, the route for Chespeake Ghost Tour’s walking tour every Wednesday night.

Though none of the tours go into buildings, many of the sites on the Ocean City and Berlin routes are open to the public if participants want to visit later, she said. Each tour is about an hour and a half long and visitors must be able to make the 1.5-mile route on foot. The haunted walks cost $15 for adults and $9 for children 12 years

old or younger. Tours are capped around 20 walkers and can sell out early. All participants must purchase tickets in advance at www.chesapeakeghostwalks.com by clicking the “calendar” link and selecting the appropriate date.

Dew Tour celebrates 10th yr. with return to OC, June 25-29 Beach Championship event showcases world’s best skateboard, BMX athletes

(June 6, 2014) NBC Sports Group will kick off the 10th anniversary of the Dew Tour with the Dew Tour Beach Championship, June 25-29, in Ocean City. One of four stops on the 2014 Dew Tour schedule, the Dew Tour Beach Championship will feature the world’s best athletes in the sports of skateboard and BMX, amateur surf and skateboard competitions and live musical performances by Cage the Elephant, SKATERS, GRiZ and heRobust. “Over the last decade, the Dew Tour has crowned 105 champions across 21 disciplines. The first-ever portable concrete bowl was constructed here in Ocean City and witnessed Jamie Bestwick’s nine-year winning streak in BMX Vert,” said Eric Grilly, president, Alli Sports. “After last year’s record-breaking crowd in Ocean City, we are excited to be back to host our inaugural 10th anniversary event.” Fans can expect to see Baltimore’s own Skateboard Vert champion Bucky Lasek, BMX Park champion Ryan Nyquist, nine-time BMX Vert champion Jamie Bestwick and Skateboard Bowl champion Pedro Barros return to Ocean City to defend their titles. A BMX legend, Nyquist continues to out-perform competitors half his

age, taking home multiple Dew Tour BMX titles in both park and dirt over recent years. The dominant name in BMX vert since the inception of the Dew Tour a decade ago, Bestwick will look to maintain his place atop the podium once more. This will be the fifth year that 19year-old Barros competes in the Dew Tour, bringing home a first- place title in bowl the past two years. Four-time Dew Cup winner Lasek has competed in all nine previous Dew Tour seasons and will be one of a handful of skate competitors crossing over between both vert and bowl. A complete list of competing athletes can be found at DewTour.com. “I have skated in every Dew Tour season, so the 10th anniversary is a big milestone for me,” said Lasek, a Baltimore-native. “There is no better way to kick off this season than coming back to my home state to defend my title and skate in one of my favorite events – bowl – which is unique to the Dew Tour Beach Championships.” In addition to the competitions, the Tour will feature free live concerts on the beach starting Friday night with Cage the Elephant, a rock brand hailing from Bowling Green, Ky. best known for its singles “Shake Me Down” and the breakout single “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked.” Opening for Cage the Elephant is SKATERS.

Docents will also be trained to inter-

pret the exhibition, “Native Americans: First Contact on Lower Delmarva,” on loan from Salisbury University’s Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture.

Pickleball becoming popular activity in Ocean Pines area

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (June 6, 2014) Pickleball, one of the fastest-growing sports in America, is also enjoying a boom at the beach. The sport recently became an official amenity at the Ocean Pines Community Center, offering indoor drop-in play three days a week, as well as unlimited play on six outdoor courts. Invented in Washington state in 1965 by future U.S. House of Representatives member Joel Pritchard, Pickleball uses the dimensions and layout of a badminton court as four players hit a whiffle ball with wooden paddles. Rules are similar to tennis. Frank Creamer and Julie Woulfe direct the Pickleball program at the

Ocean Pines Community Center. “It’s a lot like ping pong, it’s a lot like tennis, it’s a lot like badminton – it’s a cross between all of them” said Woulfe. “It’s the fastest-growing sport in America. There are Pickleball tournaments held all across the country that are pretty competitive, and we draw people from this area as well as people in nearby Delaware that drive down 113 to play.” Woulfe said the sport is popular with seniors because of the smaller court size. “Pickleball is played 75 percent of the time by retirees,” she said. “Retirees have the time to organize tournaments, spread the word, really make a huge effort to grow the sport, and that’s why it’s growing so fast right now. What’s interesting now is that we also have people in their teens and 20’s playing it now as well.” Ocean Pines began hosting Pickleball games six years ago. “It started off real slow,” Creamer said. “There were maybe 10 of us and now there are 160 people that play on a regular basis.” The move in Ocean Pines to becoming an amenity means players can sign up for an annual membership and enjoy unlimited play. Drop-in games have also become popular with

traveling visitors. Janet Hoover, a Harrisburg, Pa. resident, recently dropped in to play while on vacation in Fenwick. “This is very similar to home,” she said. “We have a space about this big, three nets and probably about the

same number of people, so it’s pretty much like home in a different location.” Creamer and Woulfe are also helping to organize the Delmarva Dills Beach Blast Pickleball Tournament, See PICKLEBALL Page 73

Participants should meet at the new shade Pavilion in the south end of North Beach parking lot. Yoga practice is a system of exercise that is physical, mental and spiritual with the ultimate goal of attaining a state of permanent peace. “The physical postures of yoga are useful to stretch, increase balance and flexibility, reduce stress, and it’s fun,” said certified yoga instructor Chrissy Ehrhart of Zenna Wellness Studio in Berlin. “Yoga on the Beach is an excellent opportunity for AIA to support Assateague Island National Seashore by expanding the use of parks as places for healthy outdoor recreation that contributes to people’s physical, mental, and social well-being,” said Ashlie Kozlowski, AIA outreach coordinator. “By providing Yoga on the Beach, AIA is helping the National Seashore reach goals in the National Park Service A Call to Action campaign.” See AIA Page 74

For the more casual player, Ocean Pines hosts daily Pickleball games throughout the summer. “There are people in this country that are very serious about their Pickleball, but here in Ocean Pines the sport is mainly fun and social,” Woulfe said. “It’s an extremely easy sport to learn to play and if you’ve

ever picked up any kind of racket I could have you playing a game here in 10 minutes. That’s the best thing about it is it’s so easy to play, and we’ve never taught anybody who didn’t love it.” For more information email frkcreamer@aol.com or visit www.oceanpines.org/amenities/racquet-sports/pickleball.
