HOLIDAY BEACH
Thousands of people take advantage of the warm, sunny weather and visit the Ocean City beach and Boardwalk over the July 4 holiday weekend. Guests, colorful umbrellas and towels line the beach as far as the eye can see on Sunday.
MGH deal extended, but with questions asked By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Ocean City government has renewed a three-year contract with its advertising agency, MGH of Owings Mills, even as some council members asked whether the marketing techniques the agency has been using were reaching the desired audience. During Monday’s session, the City Council unani-
mously voted to renew the 36-month contract with MGH at $23,000 per month. The advertising firm is one of several line-items that is paid through the 2.5 percent of room tax allocated for marketing the resort, or $6.14 million in fiscal year 2018. Before the vote was taken, Councilman Wayne Hartman asked if MGH had recently looked into how effective See COUNCIL Page 4
By Greg Ellison Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Compactors and pavers will be a regular sight for commuters on Route 113 between Snow Hill and Berlin as construction crews begin laying base asphalt on portions of the highway. Maryland State Highway Administration spokesperson Bob Rager provided a status update on Phase 3 of the $86 million highway dualization project, which covers a 4.6-mile stretch of road between Massey Branch at the north end and Five Mile Branch Road. “We just started paving last week,” he said. “The order of business for the rest of the summer is going to be paving, paving, paving.” The initial base asphalt paving was done last week between Massey Creek and Langmaid Road, Rager said. “We paved last week right up to Langmaid Road,” he said. “Now we’ll work south of there and continue that throughout the summer all the way down to the railroad crossing by Basket Switch Road.” The process becomes more entailed, Rager said, because two layers of base asphalt are required. “They’ve got to go up and down that See DUALIZATION Page 6
No smoking ... and this time we mean it By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Now that the Boardwalk smoking ban is in its second year, Ocean City Police have issued more tickets in the first weeks of summer.
Altogether, 52 citations were issued to smokers on the boards as of June 30, according to Police Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard. “Officers are taking a stricter enforcement approach rather than focusing on education,” Richard said. “Signage has continued to improve
each year and we feel as if our residents and visitors should be aware of the ordinance by now.” The smoking ban was imposed by the City Council in May 2015 as a health initiative and a way to keep the Boardwalk air clean and the beaches free from cigarette butts. The ban also applies to cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes and other substances that contain tobacco. That summer, dozens of orange metal barrels were put See CIGARETTE Page 6

New sign to draw visitors to venue Display differentiates acts at Performing Arts Center from OC convention center
KATIE TABELING/OCEAN CITY TODAY
The Performing Arts Center now has a sign in front of the convention center on 40th Street to attract visitors to check out its acts. The sign was installed last week.
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Ocean City hopes to promote its Performing Arts Center to passing motorists on Coastal Highway at 40th Street with a new electronic sign installed last week on the northeast corner of the convention center parking lot. “I’ve heard nothing but good from people about the new sign in the first week,” said convention center Director Larry Noccolino. “It’s a great way to differentiate between acts and concerts in the Performing Arts Center and the entire convention center.” The two-sided sign, which is 17 feet tall and 11 feet wide, cost approx-
imately $72,000 and was paid through remaining convention center funds. The electric marquee cycles through several acts, much like the larger marquee in the lot’s southeastern quadrant. Unlike that sign, the smaller marquee on the corner near 41st Street will only promote upcoming Performing Arts Center events. “This is to give it its own identity, and it has a different look than the substantially bigger marquee,” City Engineer Terry McGean said. “They’re on the same circuit as our other board messaging systems, and we can change the message in the event of an emergency with the rest of the city’s signs.” The smaller message board is also being touted as an indication that things are picking up for the Performing Arts Center. The Ocean City Cul-
ture Arts Advisory Board recommended the sign in 2015, but Noccolino said that the plan would be to install it after the facility was running for three years. “We’ve stabilized last December, meaning that we’re at the booking pace predicted we’re supposed to be in in 2018,” he said. Council Secretary Mary Knight, who chairs the Tourism Commission, added that the sign was a welcome message to visitors and residents to know that arts and entertainment is alive in the resort. “People look at the big marquee and see what’s going on the convention center, and sometimes the Performing Arts Center acts get lost in that,” she said. “When people see that sign, they’ll be reminded that it’s not just a convention center, and we do have more culture in Ocean City.”

Council asks whether ads draw ‘right’ visitors Continued from Page 1 their ads were in drawing visitors. “There’s been conversations about making sure we’re reaching our target audience. When was the last time we did any market research to see what families are looking for when they pick a place?” he said. “We have a lot of new amenities in town and we have a lot of new hotels that could help us attract a different audience. What makes people choose Ocean City or not choose Ocean City? Is it too much alcohol or not enough of something else? You hear we’re losing families, but when was the last time we did any market research?” Tourism Director Donna Abbott said Ocean City completed an advertising effectiveness study six years ago, but the Tourism Department conducts annual surveys of visitors. This questionnaire asks visitors their
home zip codes, how often they come to Ocean City, how long they stay, and median household income. “An advertising effectiveness study is not something you’d do every year. We can certainly find some money in the budget to do an advertising assessment if that’s what the council desires,” Abbott said. Hartman said that it was clear that Ocean City was still a popular spot, but wondered if advertisements could be recalibrated to different types of clientele. “There is no doubt we’re getting people, but are we getting the right people?” he asked. “What direction should we give our advertising agency? It might be time for a reality check.” Abbott said MGH does focus on median household income to seek out that desired target visitor.

“At one time, the median household income for our target audience was lowered to $50,000 by the thencouncil. That’s pretty low,” she said. “As the economy has improved, we’ve raised the median household income target to $100,000-plus.” Key markets for Ocean City are East Coastal metropolitan areas such as Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. Other cities are in central Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The census data compiled in 2016 shows the median household income in Maryland is $74,551, New Jersey is $72,093, Pennsylvania is $53,599 and D.C. is $70,848. “That’s a good start,” Hartman said. “Maybe we can have smaller billboards in smaller communities where the desired demographics exist.” Council Secretary Mary Knight

said she would put the matter before the Tourism Commission, which she chairs. Abbott added that each year, surveys are sent out to gather information on where their visitors are coming from, but to little success. “It’s really amazing to see the hesitancy from people who don’t want to share information about their household income,” she said. Discussion on MGH’s marketing campaign is tentatively scheduled for the August Tourism Commission meeting.

Spanish tall ship Andalucia to return to resort in August Vessel to dock at bayside Boardwalk between Second and Third streets during stay
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) A replica Spanish galleon will be sailing back into Ocean City this August, now that local government’s special event staff has settled final details with the ship’s owner. The City Council agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Nao Victorian Foundation to bring El Galeón Andalucia, a 170foot-long tall ship, back to the resort, where it will offer tours and special receptions from Aug. 11-27. The vessel will tie up next to the bayside boardwalk between Second and Third streets. Special Events Superintendent Frank Miller said that this event would be a stepping stone to future special events with the foundation. “The foundation is building a replica of the Santa Maria, one of the ships sailed by Christopher Columbus, and it should be ready by next year,” he said “This event is a step toward getting the Santa Maria. If we nurture this relationship, maybe we’ll be an early stop when the Santa Maria is ready to tour.” The memorandum of understanding details that the city should receive $2 for every adult ticket sold and $1 for every child ticket. Tickets will be sold at $12 and $6 for adults and children, respectively. In addition, Ocean City will receive 30 percent from any receptions held on the ship. Miller said that water depth in the inlet channel was a concern of the ship’s operators, since the Andalucia draws about 10 and a half feet of water that in an area that reaches 11
feet at high tide. “This year, the water depth survey came back favorable,” Miller said. “Tow Boat U.S. is confident we can get the vessel through at high tide.” Based on attendance and expense reports from the Andalucia’s 2014 visit to Ocean City, Miller estimates that the resort would see $16,000 in revenue. Projected expenses, including marketing promotion, manpower needed to bring the ship in, lost parking revenue and fuel costs, could be around $21,000. Fuel would be the costliest item, at $9,000. Miller pointed out that new metered parking near the Third Street park and the new Second Street look would help cushion the $3,432 loss for parking. However, the council had issues with the $9,000 fuel cost, even though that estimate was based on 2014 gas prices. Councilman John Gehrig sought to increase the resort’s profit share to offset the costs. “As long as we’re breaking even, it’s a nice event for our residents and visitors. I’m not sure we should be paying to refuel them to go home. They’re making money from this,” Gehrig said. “We’re either going to account for our expenses every time or we don’t. We can’t have it both ways.” He made a motion adjust the town’s ticket share to 17 percent, but it died for a lack of second. Councilman Wayne Hartman said the ship’s arrival would be another great addition to Ocean City. “This is a family event, it’s what Ocean City should be all about,” he said. “I’d like them to commit to having another ship coming back next year. We should be working with them so we’re out in front of having another tall ship visit.”

El Galeón Andalucia, a 170-foot-tall 50-ton replica of a Spanish galleon will arrive in Ocean City waters on Aug. 10. The vessel was moored here in 2013 and 2014.
Since Ocean City is handling the ship’s marketing, Councilman Dennis Dare offered a compromise: funding the fuel up to $9,000 to top off fuel. “As long it doesn’t exceed our break-even point for the event. That way, we don’t have the possibility of losing money, but we do have the possibility of earning money if we market it well,” Dare said.
The council agreed to that compromise, and voted unanimously to sign the agreement. El Galeón Andalucia will be arriving on Aug. 10, and will sail in through the Route 50 bridge between 11 a.m. and noon. Tours will start the following day, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Guided tours will also be available.

Continued from Page 1 on the place for a designated smoking zone. Beachgoers can light up or vape within 15 feet of each barrel. Signs were also installed on the beach that read, “Enjoy our smoke-free Boardwalk.” In the first year, the police followed an “education first” policy and warned visitors before issuing a $100 fine. In 2016, police kept the approach until the police commission ordered them to issue more citations and fewer warnings in July. As a result, tickets jumped from 12 to 79 by the end of the year. This spring, the council grappled with ordering Ocean City Police to ticket violators without discretion. Ultimately, it let officers use discretion when enforcing the law, but ordered for an aggressive approach this year. Signs on the Boardwalk now say “Smoking & vaping are prohibited! Enjoy our smoke-free Boardwalk.” There are roughly 300 signs throughout town, according to Public Works Maintenance Director Tom Dy. Although the statistics show more smokers on the beach, Richard said police issuing tickets to the few that don’t obey the law. “Despite the increase in issued citations, however, we have been seeing overall compliance, considering our town hosts nearly 300,000 people at any given time,” she said.
Dualization project timetable depends on warm weather Continued from Page 1 road twice and pave all of that,” he said. “That’s just going to have our base down. We’re not going to have a final surface on it probably until the spring.” Rages said the road base, which handles the bulk of the weight from traffic, has different considerations than the top two inches of asphalt. “Since the surface asphalt mix requires different temperatures than the base, we probably wouldn’t do that in late fall or early winter,” he said. “We would probably push it off until the spring.” Considering the varying temperature requirements, Rager said the most prudent approach is to focus initially on applying base layers and addressing the top surface toward the end of the project. “I’m assuming that’s going to run well through the summer and into the fall,” he said. “That puts us on schedule to get the final surface for everything by the spring.” Nevertheless, making the schedule will depend on the weather. “If weather is good, and things stay warm and dry, who knows,” he said. “We could get more done this year than that.”

By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) The man who caught and released the first white marlin of the year is officially $11,000 richer, as the Ocean City Council and the local business community awarded him two checks during separate ceremonies on Monday. “It was a Cinderella story, since we weren’t expecting it,” said angler David Taylor of Baltimore during Monday night’s presentation. “It was a very foggy day, and we caught tuna in five minutes, and three more in the same spot.” Taylor and his crew were fishing on the Reel Buster out of Sunset Marina on June 14 in Poor Man’s Canyon when he caught the white marlin. He added that it was luck that he was the one to reel it in.
“The newest guy on the crew asked if I wanted to reel the next one in. When we saw a bit of color, we thought it was a shark, we reeled it in and thought big tuna, saw the bill and I said, ‘grab that fish!’” Taylor said. Taylor received a $6,000 check from the Fishermen United of Ocean City, a coalition of local business owners, at a small ceremony at noon in front of the white marlin fountain on North Division Street. Hours later, Taylor received the customary $5,000 check from Ocean City government during the City Council session. During April budget sessions, the City Council voted to eliminate the longstanding tradition of awarding a $5,000 prize to the angler who lands the first white marlin of the season. Following outcry from the local fishing community, six local businesses agreed to replace the city’s prize with one of their own. The Bank of Ocean City, Coastal See TWO Page 10

Ropewalk on 82nd Street to resume exotic animal show By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Ropewalk restaurant on 82nd Street will present a regular exotic animal show throughout the summer, as the Ocean City Council on Monday approved its permit to house non-domesticated animals on the premises. The Ropewalk restaurant had presented a handful of shows from Barn Hill Preserve in Delaware in June, before it appeared before council to seek its blessing for the event. “We are a mobile education program that targets elementary to high school students on the East Coast,” said Barn Hill representative Carrie Johnston. “We’ve been doing this for three years in Delaware and we’re looking to expand in Ocean City.” Barn Hill’s goal is to make learning about wildlife exciting by giving people a much closer view of animals
they might only have seen in zoos. Animals include the red kangaroo Joey, a two-toed sloth, the Eurasian lynx kitten, a Eclectus parrot, the bearded dragon lizard, the American alligator hatchling, a hedgehog, the red-tailed boa and a ball python. Johnson said that the plan is to only show two or three animals on Sundays and Wednesdays for a few hours. The council was receptive to the idea, but Councilman Dennis Dare pointed out that the permit needed specifications. “If I can recall, this code was established so that our fire department would not have any surprises,” he said. “We need dates and times.” The council agreed that Barn Hill could show some of its animals on Sundays and Wednesdays, starting on July 12 and ending on Sept. 3. Shows would be held at the Ropewalk from 2-6 p.m.
Two anglers split $16K prize; race to reel in first fish over Continued from Page 8 Fisherman, Sunset Marina, Bahia Marina, which hosts the Mako Mania and Poor Girls Open fishing tournaments, Ocean City Fishing Center and Atlantic Tackle donated $1,000 each. Because of the citizen outcry, the City Council voted to restore the prize, while the businesses agreed to make good on their own pledge. “Fishermen United of Ocean City is proud to support Ocean City’s fishing industry and the long-lasting history fishing brings to the white marlin capital of the world,” said Earl
Conley, spokesperson for the Fishermen United and vice-president of Bank of Ocean City. “Big thanks to Dave Taylor catching the first White Marlin out of Ocean City.” Traditionally, the Ocean City Marlin Club also offers $5,000 to the first white marlin boated of the year, which created a $16,000 prize. But Ian Schwing, a crewmember of the Fish Whistle, reeled one in Delaware waters on June 16. Since the marlin club’s requirements is that the fish must be caught within 100 miles of Ocean City’s buoy, Schwing won the $5,000.

Effective date of hundreds of new laws passes in state Rules concerning alcohol, education and environment most likely to impact locals
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 7, 2017) Late last week, the Department of Legislative Services released its report of all of the legislation passed in the General Assembly at the beginning of the year that takes effect on July 1. From the report, it seems that many places in Maryland are dealing with increased demand from local bars, brewers and distillers, as a sizable percentage of the total number of laws that took effect last Saturday had something to do with alcohol consumption. Worcester was not immune to this effect, as its state senator, Jim Mathias (D-38) sponsored a law now in effect to allow the local Board of License Commissioners to approve one-day only beer and wine tasting licenses to the Ocean City convention center. The board may approve up to two of these permits annually. Mathias had one other piece of legislation go into effect last week, which exempts taxpayers applying for certain tax credits electronically. The exemption is only available via written request to the comptroller, and must show reasonable cause for or undue hardship because of the electronic filing mandate. Another measure that went into effect on July 1 was The More Jobs for Marylanders Act, which offers tax credits for specified manufacturing businesses if they increase employment and offer job training. The bill also establishes tax credits for businesses that employ an eligible apprentice, scholarships for students in a job skills program at community college, requires vocational goals to be set for high school students and requires the state to track the apprenticeship programs. HB 252 and SB 281 redefine liquor and raise the alcohol by content percentage of hard cider, respectively, as the former prohibits beer and wine license holders from selling “wine” that is greater than 44 proof and the latter raises the hard cider limit from seven to eight and one-half percent. Dispensing draft beer in non-refillable containers under certain conditions is now allowed by HB 292. Moving to education, SB 485 establishes a grant program for public schools to purchase technology to allow students with medical conditions to participate in classrooms if in-person attendance is not possible. SB 622 exempts the first $40 on a backpack or bookbag purchase from sales tax, if bought during a tax-free school supplies holiday. Small community colleges, like Wor-Wic, will see an increase to its
unrestricted state aid beginning in fiscal 2019 because of SB 521. The State Board of Education, next year, requires all personnel who have direct contact with students to complete annual training in identifying suicide risk and have knowledge of resources to provide to students in crisis because of HB 920. More generally, HB 1522 directs the departments of education and health and mental hygiene to perform a study of behavioral health options at the schools. Students will also get their own form of parental time off, as pregnancy or parental needs now count as lawful absences, and each county must now develop a policy to allow at least 10 days of excused absences after the birth of a parenting student’s child. Licenses pharmacists will be able, after certain circumstances are met and after Jan. 1, 2019, to prescribe contraceptives because of HB 613. Video lottery terminals in the county are currently technically owned by the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission, but SB 495 allows the facilities that house the terminals to now own or lease them, which matches what is going on in other areas. The Clean Water Commerce Act of 2017 allows Bay Restoration funds to be used to purchase nutrient load reductions, while HB 406 extends tax credits for installing electric vehicle recharging stations. By July 1, 2019, the Maryland Department of Environment will have produced a study to review and make recommendations on the idea to divert yard waste, food residuals and other organic materials from traditional solid waste facilities. To prevent double-dipping, counties are now prohibited by SB 273 from receiving revenues from state parks if the county has already received a payment from the state in the same fiscal year. Domestic partnerships are exempt from inheritance taxes with the adoption of HB 1104, so long as that partnership can be proven. Counties or municipalities that received overpayments due to an accounting error last year are no longer required to repay the money due to HB 1433, but had previously been on a 10-year, zero interest repayment schedule. HB 1345 established the National Capital Strategic Economic Development fund, which will provide grants to government and nonprofit community development organizations to acquire or assemble land, develop a site or provide for architecture and engineering services.

West OC housing attractive to J-1s Space, crowding concerns less prevalent over bridge than in Ocean City proper
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Roughly 20 young adults, half of them J-1 visa students, live in a house off Golf Course Road in West Ocean City, and according to some of them, it’s preferable to living in Ocean City. “I definitely don’t feel overcrowded,” said Elena Rotareanu, a 21-year-old from Moldova who is spending her second summer with the J-1 visa program here. “United Work and Travel found this house last year, and I had the option to change it this time, but I didn’t want to. I had the same number of roommates last year, and we became lifelong friends. Even now, we keep texting each other.” Rotareanu is one of nine women using a bedroom divided into two sleeping areas: one with two beds and a larger room with four bunkbeds. Overall, the house has six bedrooms and three bathrooms, and a spacious kitchen and living room. “I know there’s houses that are overcrowded, but that is not the case here,” Rotareanu said. “This is OK because the house is really big.” Her roommate Sky Wongngamleam, a 20-year-old Thai student, said it was a step up from her previous living situation on First Street in Ocean City. She and 15 other women from Thailand arrived in Ocean City in May to live in a series of apartments. She and two other women had planned to live in one unit that they ultimately rejected. “I didn’t see it before I signed a contract [with the agency]. The first day I saw it, it was very bad and dirty. The door didn’t lock and electricity
didn’t work. The bed didn’t have pillows or blankets,” Wongngamleam said. “It didn’t look ready to stay.” The apartment’s front door lock was smashed in, and pieces of the door jamb were falling out. There was no showerhead, leaving a pipe to stream water in the bathroom. One room had a hole in the floor. Wongngamleam said that she called her out-of-area sponsoring agency that night, as well as the emergency number, but did not got a call back. Instead, she got more support at her job in West Ocean City.
‘United Work and Travel found this house last year, and I had the option to change it this time, but I didn’t want to.’ Elena Rotareanu 21-year-old from Moldova “We came for orientation and told the manager, and they tried to get us new housing,” she said. “Some coworkers were asking customers, and one woman said that she had a place.” In the past few years, city officials and sponsors have found that J-1 visa students, who are vital to summertime businesses, are moving across the Route 50 bridge because of the housing shortage in Ocean City. United Work and Travel Program Director Anne Marie Constabile said that the main problem is finding housing that is close to her students’ place of employment. “The jobs are primarily in Ocean City, so students refuse to live in West Ocean City for the most part,” she said in an email. “There definitely is a shortage of housing in Ocean City proper, but there are plenty of houses available for students in West Ocean City. The commute … can be problematic.”
Delmarva Power installed LED lights on some streets in West Ocean City before the summer. Tentatively, the State Highway Administration has plans to create a hiker/biker path from Route 611 to the bridge. But ideas to expand the walkway on the Route 50 bridge for bikers and pedestrians ended abruptly in an Ocean City sub-committee last fall. Wongngamleam said that she crashed her bicycle when she was on her way from the apartments on Second Street to her job in West Ocean City. But now that she lives blocks away, it’s a better situation. “I’m OK biking now. I work at a fast food place until 10 in the evening, so maybe I’m used to it [the commute],” she said. Ocean City has also taken an interest in stopping overcrowding in rental units since last year, and sponsors like United Work and Travel refuse to house students in buildings that don’t have a rental license. To receive a rental license, a property owner must have the building inspected and have its occupancy rate determined. In Ocean City, maximum occupancy is 40 square feet per person in a bedroom and a 10 squarefoot credit for closet space. Applications cost $141, including the noise control permit. Regulation in West Ocean City is less strict. According to Worcester County public information officer Kim Moses, anyone seeking to rent rooms to four or more people for less than six months outside city limits, must apply with the county Development Review and Permitting. The application must be signed by the county commissioners. If property owners are renting rooms to fewer than four people for a time less than half a year, they are not required to apply. But that doesn’t mean that West Ocean City landlords for the J-1 stu-

‘“I’m OK biking now. I work at a fast food place until 10 in the evening, so maybe I’m used to it [the comute].’ Sky Wongngamleam 20-year-old Thai student dents aren’t attentive. Rotareanu said that their landlord will fix their sink by the end of the week. The one time the landlord could not quickly fix an issue was when the ceiling in Rotareanu’s room leaked last year. The landlord was on vacation. “We moved into a different room, and she fixed it when she came back,” she said. “This year, I saw that she repaired the entire bedroom, and I was like ‘wow!’” Another reason that Ocean City is undergoing a housing crisis regarding the international workers is supply and demand. The island is small, and often rental units go to families or American students here for Senior week. This market can pay more than the J-1 students to use the space for vacations. Rotareanu, who is studying fuel production back in Moldova, said a cultural experience is expensive. “I had to pay $3,000 to the sponsor for the documentation and the plane ticket and another $250 to find housing,” she said. “Some places pay very little, like $8.25 an hour compared to the Americans at $15.” In general, Rotareanu said she’s fortunate in terms of housing and job opportunities. She works as a cashier in West Ocean City and Ocean City, where she can interact with locals and visitors on a daily basis. Some of her friends aren’t so lucky. “I have a friend that had a job offer in a restaurant that he paid for, and he worked there for a week. They said, ‘Sorry, we’re slow, so we fire you.’ That’s not how it should be. His visa is dependent on a job offer,” she said. “Another friend just quit his job because they put him to work in a freezer opening crabs all day. What kind of cultural experience is that? This is not how you treat a human.”

Perfect weather equates to profitable July 4 celebration City estimates thousands of people took advantage of long weekend, holiday
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Sunny skies and good weather brought another crowded Fourth of July weekend to Ocean City, even though the one-day interval between the holiday itself and the weekend saw some visitors departing before the grand finale Tuesday. “Ocean City was bustling this weekend,” said Jessica Waters, Town of Ocean City communications manager. “It was great to see so many people take advantage of a long weekend and using the holiday to spend time with their family and friends in Ocean City. The crowds on the Boardwalk were great and traffic was heavy, which indicates that people were out and about.” Melanie Pursel, executive director for the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce, said most hotels were at capacity based on the limited number of calls received about vacancies. “The town was pretty packed and the weather was nice,” Pursel said. “It was a very successful Fourth. People came in early and did make a weekend out if it. Sunday was packed with a lot
of families on the beach. By all accounts, it was a great weekend.” Tracy Owes, chef at the Big Easy on 60, agreed with Pursel. “We did very well for our first Fourth of July,” Owes said. He added that the restaurant’s success over the holiday period bodes well for the next two months of summer. Downtown at Fish Tales on 22nd Street, business was booming and food sales were up from last year. “The weekend was good and we were extremely happy. Monday was busier than Sunday,” owner Shawn Harman said. “It was weird with July 4th falling on a Tuesday. No one was here and then we would get crowded.” Although the popular July 4 hot dog-eating contest brought a crowd to the bayside establishment, no one signed up until the day before the competition, which had organizers nervous. “The hot dog-eating contest is always exciting. We ended up having 15 people participate and we gave away $2,000 in prize money,” Harman said. “On Tuesday, there was not a parking spot to be found. I noticed a lot of New York and New Jersey license plates. More than I have ever seen.” Harman believes vacationers from New Jersey, New York and PennsylvaSee LOCAL Page 16

Commissioners discuss nuisance properties Initial conversation about Ocean Pines real estate leads to other complaints By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 7, 2017) While the initial discussion was about declaring a single property north of Ocean Downs a nuisance, the floodgates may have opened as several commissioners took turns listing properties constituents have complained about, possibly opening the door to a new round of enforcement. The first discussion involved a situation at 10307 Racetrack Road, the former site of the Planted Pleasures Garden Center. Director of Development Review and Planning Ed Tudor explained to the board that his department has
dealt with this property and its owners several times during the past few years, and has, at times, experienced some cooperation from the owners. Among the county’s complaints are uncontrolled growth of vegetation, unscreened accumulation of personal property and several unattended structures from the former plant nursery that have fallen into disrepair. The property’s owner, Kevin Evans, said the county has a point, to a certain degree, about the condition of his lot, but there is also a larger issue that is being missed. Evans said he and other property owners in the area petitioned the county to change the zoning from agricultural to commercial to reflect the changing nature of the neighborhood as business at the casino expanded.
“At first, the racetrack was open regular hours, and now it’s open to 4 a.m. and serving alcohol. At first, they weren’t going to serve food and now they are,” he said. According to property records, Evans bought the three-acre lot in 2003. The fallout from these late-night operations takes up what little time Evans said he has to maintain the property. “I wouldn’t mind if we were zoned commercial, because you sort of expect that in these situations,” he said. He said he didn’t get a zoning switch from agricultural to commercial — he got a switch from agricultural to residential. “Who wants to buy a place to live next to one of the biggest businesses in Worcester County?” Evans asked. Evans said he and other owners now
feel trapped — unable to move because they are unable to sell their land. “Are there going to be children riding their bikes down Racetrack Road?” he wondered. Evans doesn’t live on the property, has a full time job and limited time to address what the county, and area residents, have decided is a nuisance property. Commissioner Chip Bertino said this property in particular is a frequent topic of discussion at his town hall meetings, which then led to commissioners Joe Mitrecic, Bud Church and Jim Bunting reporting that they all knew of properties they would like to see cleaned up. Bunting directed Tudor to investigate a property at the corner of Bishopville Road and St. Martin’s Neck Road for possible violations, but no other directives were issued. Evans has the right to request a hearing before the commissioners or abate the nuisance conditions, but hasn’t decided what he’s going to do yet.
Local restaurants packed, no rooms at most OC hotels Continued from Page 14 nia, who generally frequent the Jersey Shore, changed their plans after state’s beaches were closed because of a budget impasse and a subsequent government shutdown. “I truly believe (New Jersey Gov.) Chris Christie closing down the state parks in New Jersey brought people here and it had a big impact,” Harman said. “It’s a double bonus. We were busy and vacationers who have never been here were exposed to Ocean City.” Uptown at the Crab Bag on 130th Street, waits were minimal, partly as a result of the restaurant’s addition of 400 more seats. About 300 seats were added via a new deck and bar area outside and 100 more were created inside. “The weather was so beautiful that everyone was sitting outside and having a great time this year,” said Crab Bag co-owner Albert Levy. “Everything went very smooth and we sold a lot of crabs all week.” The city’s best guess at crowd size for the weekend was in the 300,000person range. The inlet parking lot was filled up by noon on the Fourth of July, Waters said, and side streets on the bayside in the downtown area filled up as well. “July 4th … sets us up for the next several weeks of summer,” Waters said. That said, most Ocean City businesses expect the good numbers to continue, with the next economic checkpoint coming on Aug. 7-11 during this year’s White Marlin Open fishing tournament.

DJ Batman recounts resort life through decades of fun Longtime entertainer gives his thoughts on 50 years of Ocean City shenanigans
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 7, 2017) As we sit in the little alley between M.R. Ducks and the Marina Deck about an hour before Mike “DJ Batman” Beatty goes onstage, the longtime entertainer and occasional mischief maker remembers what brought him to the resort about 50 years ago, and how little, for him, it seemed to change during that time. “People feel the same things they did DJ Batman coming across the Route 50 bridge they ‘This doesn’t did 50 years ago — I’m change. People do. here, I’m in The vacationers do. Ocean City As people get and I’m on vaolder, if your ball cation,” he goes in my yard, said. “This town never then it becomes changes, but my ball.’ society does.” Mike “DJ B e a t t y doesn’t mean Batman” Beatty that literally. He’s quick to recall there wasn’t really anything north of 40th Street in his first summers here, and how some of the hangouts had changed. “Back then, Ninth Street was the big hangout. There was no other place to go, it was the big hangout. Every kid was there. If there were eight cops in town, then seven of them were on Ninth Street,” Beatty said. At the time, police were addressing the invasion of what people considered an undesirable element, much like now, except that current complaints are about “thugs,” “miscreants” or worse, while back then it was the hippies. “People would say families would never ever want to come to Ocean City because of the dirty, rude, filthy hippies,” Beatty said. “You know, the ones that bring their grandkids here today.” In those days, Beatty said, you couldn’t carry a blanket on the Boardwalk, because people would just assume you were staying at the Underwood Hotel — slang for sleeping under the Boardwalk, which was between three and five feet higher than the sand in those days, and highly discouraged by officials. “Pat O’Brennan had his guitar and would sing on the beach,” Beatty said.
“The police would stand guard and let him get away with it for about 20 minutes before they would break it up. All the kids would circle up, listen and we called it a ‘hootenanny.’” Beatty also recalled that anyone who ran afoul of the law back in those days had a long ride ahead of them — the only holding facility was in Snow Hill, about 30 minutes south. He also said the police were also more liable to motivate crowds with nightsticks rather than the tactics used today. Beatty recalled getting picked up for underage drinking: a half-gallon of Bali-Hai wine and some Ripple wine, and was fined $450, or, in today’s terms, about $3,500. He said his mother had to take out a loan from one of the only places that would lend a woman money in those days to pay the debt. Beatty said all of the men had to wear shirts, but almost no one wore shoes. He said the others would look down on you for wearing shoes. But then development came. “If someone wanted to build near the water, they just pushed in some dirt and went for it,” he said. Eventually, someone did the unthinkable: opened a restaurant offering bayside dining. “When John Fager opened up (Fager’s Island), everyone thought he was crazy. Leighton Moore at Seacrets, Billy and Maddy Carder at BJ’s — everyone [else] thought they were nuts,” he said. The madness deepened when restaurants started opening up in West Ocean City too. “No one in 1967 would ever think to go back across that bridge,” he said. Seacrets, in Beatty’s estimation, changed all of that. “Seacrets made Ocean City a destination. You look at the trade magazines for the top performing bars it’s all New York City, Las Vegas, New York City and then, Ocean City Maryland. And that’s all mainly done in four months out of the year,” he said. But even as the resort grows, it stays the same. As the quote goes, history never repeats itself, but it rhymes. “This here,” Beatty said, gesturing at the docks, the waves, the sunset, “this doesn’t change. People do. The vacationers do. As people get older, if your ball goes in my yard, then it becomes my ball.” Beatty said he was performing for the class of 2009 six years ago, got on stage and told the crowd he didn’t understand the music or their attitudes. “You could hear a pin drop, OK? Then I said I wasn’t talking about them, I was talking about me, us — everyone else. The place went nuts,” he said. “Ocean City will always survive. It’ll survive Junebugs — it’ll survive people smoking marijuana, OK?”

Independence celebrated by local descendants of patriots Worcester women can trace family to Revolutionary War, remember sacrifices made
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Fourth of July was earlier this week, but for some Worcester County women with ancestors that fought in the Revolutionary War, patriotism is not a one-day celebration. “I love this county and the freedoms we enjoy. The Fourth of July is a celebration of that, and honoring those that fought for our country,” said Theresa Nauschuetz of Ocean Pines. “It celebrates something that was a turn against the tide of the time: standing up against the forces of England.” Nauschuetz is the register of the Samuel Chase chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution. Worcester County has two Daughters of the Revolution chapters, including the Samuel Chase chapter that serves Salisbury
and the General Levin Winder Chapter in southern Worcester. In both chapters, there are approximately 170 women who can trace their ancestors to Revolutionary War patriots. Nauschuetz, who also is a genealogist, said it’s likely there’s more patriot descendants in Worcester County than the DAR membership reflects. “I’ve found that I start research here, there’s a lot of people that were raised here, and their families have been in [Worcester] since God was a child,” she said. Nauschuetz has three patriots documented so far, including Joseph White, who was descended from one of the first Jamestown families, and Absalom Hughes of Virginia. Hughes participated against the march from Charles County to Williamsburg to confront loyalist Gov. Dunmore. Dunmore attempted to quell rebellion by trying to removing the gunpowder from the colony’s armory. “When I’ve heard what people have done, it sends chills up my spine,” Nauschuetz said. “They believed in

something so strongly to go hungry for it, to walk without shoes and their feet were bloody. They were willing to die for it. We can enjoy the freedoms we have today because of them.” Fellow member Gail Lewis, who is the vice president of M.R. Ducks, said that her connection to two men that fought in the Continental Army strengthens her appreciation to this country. “I’m very proud that I had family members that fought for us. I don’t think history is taught in school with an emphasis of what people went through at the time,” she said. Lewis’ ancestors, William Blythe See LOCALS Page 21

Goeller retires after 25 years as county health dept. head
By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 7, 2017) As a position focused on policy, the county health officer doesn’t have much public exposure, but the decisions Debbie Goeller has made during her 25 years in that capacity will have lasting effects on how potential epidemics are handled, services are rendered and citizens are served by the health department. Trained as an RN in the days when nursing school cost less than certain textbooks do today, Goeller joined the policy side of public health in Worcester, then left to become deputy director of the Somerset County Health Department, left that job for the same title back in Worcester and was named health officer here in 1992. “There are certainly a number of things I’m proud of, but none of them were achieved by myself — it was always a team effort and took support from the county, state and others,” she said. Goeller pointed to the Center for Clean Start, a program to provide prenatal and post-partum treatment for mothers and children dealing with addictions as a success, as well as the Delmarva Avian Flu task force, which started in 2004 and still meets once per year. An avian flu infection was discovered in Pocomoke City in early 2004, leading to the slaughter of 328,000 birds. “We collected the health department, poultry company representatives and wildlife organizations from
Debbie Goeller
three states and came up with a robust plan and guide on how to deal with the disease and how to combat it,” Goeller said. “They need to stay current in case of another outbreak, so we’re ready.” As for other initiatives, “We were able to open a dental center in Berlin for Medicaid and low-income children,” Goeller said. The health department didn’t have good information on dental care for needy children, but can track the improvements in the health of those children now that the center exists. Goeller said she is especially proud of the Maryland Access Point, which is a service developed here integrating programs from the Departments of Aging, Social Services and Health and offering them all in one place. “It’s a one-stop shop that became a model for the state,” she said. She’s also proud of her addictions work by fostering a partnership between the Jenkins Foundation, the See JONES Page 22
Locals find connection with forgotten American history Continued from Page 20 and Henry Prince, both served in the army in Virginia before making their way south after the war. Blythe later became the architect of a ferry that transported Cherokee Indians across the Tennessee River as part of the Trail of Tears. Lewis and Nauschuetz both had husbands that served in the military, and found that deepened their understanding of what patriotism is. Lewis said women were silent patriots during the Revolutionary War as well. Proving their involvement through records is difficult, since the first census was in 1790 and women rarely received property through wills. “They were probably taking care of the home front. I’d like to think it was similar when my husband was in the Air Force,” Lewis said. “They’d be responsible for the children and finances like I was.” Other DAR members like Effie Cox of Ocean Pines, who is also a member
of the Old Kent Chapter, said that the Fourth of July reminds her of what true sacrifice is to a country. Cox’s patriot, Thomas Smythe, used his successful shipbuilding company to bankroll the rebellion. Cox said she found documents that showed that Smythe declared bankruptcy in 1792. “It cost him everything, including the business, and he had to start all over. He didn’t have to do anything,” Cox said. “He had a nice life. Those in the military sacrifice for us, but there were others you don’t really think about that gave up their homes and their communities because they rebelled. I’d love to say I had resolve.” The three women were proud to say that their family had a role in history, even if it’s faded from other citizens’ minds. “There’s a quote from Thomas Payne: ‘sunshine patriots need not apply,’” Cox said. “They walked the walk and stood by their beliefs of this government, no matter what it cost.”

Construction for medical marijuana houses underway By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 7, 2017) Though the state legalized medical marijuana in 2012, not a single dispensary has opened, no patients have been treated and both the licensees and the regulators have remained quiet on the subject. Three types of licenses are available: growers, processors and dispensers. In Showell near Route 113, however, the first of the grow operations in Worcester is beginning to take shape. Three greenhouses are being built for the purposes of marijuana cultivation by licensee Shore Naturals LLC, registered to Erick Bruder, with an address in Ocean Pines. The site is a former Perdue chicken facility, sold a couple of years ago bundled with others totaling approximately 700 acres in a deal worth about $3.5 million. The lot is less than a mile from the main facility representing the bulk of the 700 acres and only measures about 12 acres. Shore Naturals is listed as the property owner, according to state property records, and the facility was purchased from Perdue Farms in November 2016 for $395,000. Because of the way the property is zoned, County Zoning Administrator Jennifer Keener said, Shore Naturals

did not have to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals or the Planning Commission to obtain permission to build the greenhouses. “We handled it at the permit level only,” she said. Eleven months ago, the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission issued preapprovals to 15 growers and processors, who were then able to begin finalizing a location for a facility, obtaining local zoning and planning approvals, beginning construction, hiring and training staff. A medical marijuana grow operation in Maryland can be located anywhere in the state, so long as proper zoning clearances are gained, according to the commission’s website. Once those tasks are completed, the state will inspect the facilities to ensure the operation meets the requirements of the program, and matches the processes outlined in the application.

After successful completion of the inspection, the grower can begin operations. The commission provided no timeline for this process, and no record of an inspection at the Showell site has been made public. The dispensaries are due at the end of the year, as required by the process
outlined in painstaking detail in application materials now several years old, but dependent on a number of inspections and evaluations to be conducted by the state at its own discretion. Erick Bruder declined a request for comment on this story.
Jones succeeds Goeller as leader Continued from Page 21 Atlantic Club and the self-help programs at the W.A.C.S. center to provide treatment for addiction issues. The partnership also provides services for social issues not related to drugs or alcohol. When the county sought its own hospital, Atlantic General Hospital, it took the unusual step of including the health officer as an ex officio member of the board of directors, combining the policy side of care with direct patient interaction. “I’ve been a member of the board since the hospital opened,” she said. “In the whole area of planning, I’m really proud of the work I did there.”

Three greenhouses intended for the cultivation of medical marijuana are under construction along Route 113 in Showell.
But the job demands flexibility. “I think one of the struggles of people in public health is you frequently have to adjust your priorities to what conditions exist — right now we’re dealing with opioids,” she said. Naloxone treatment, used to reverse respiratory failure common in opiate overdoses, and training along with marketing the programs had taken up a sizable portion of Goeller’s last few years in office. “I do feel like I’m leaving in the middle of implementing policies and procedures that would hopefully turn opioids around,” she said. The health department released its five-point plan to combat opioids on
the shore during its annual health conference in April. But the continuation of that plan and those efforts are now in the hands of Becky Jones, RN, BSN, MSN, who was named as Goeller’s replacement in May. Jones took the helm after Goeller’s formal retirement date of July 1. “I think [Becky] will have to be realistic and pace herself and maintain a good work/life balance. She’s going to have to do what she thinks is right, because sometimes public health can be involved with larger political issues,” Goeller said. “She should always keep her eye on her residents and her county.”

Monteferrante siblings will help out OC Beach Patrol SRT Chris returns for his third summer, while Katie and Nicholas assist camp By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer This story is part of a series about Ocean City Beach Patrol members and their other jobs. (July 7, 2017) Twins Nicholas and Katie Monteferrante will be assistant instructors for the Junior Beach Patrol Academy starting July 11, an assignment that allows them to follow in the footsteps of their older brother, Chris, who is guarding Ocean City beaches for his third summer. “After being an assistant instructor for the junior beach patrol camp, it was a natural transition to become a lifeguard. It’s the goal of the camp,” Chris Monteferrante said. “Ocean City Beach Patrol is a family and we all come back to see each other. I love the people I work with and it is a good job.” Monteferrante, 19, of Potomac, Maryland, lived in Ocean City during the summers for more than a decade and looked up to the lifeguards. He began participating in the Junior Beach Patrol Academy in the summer of 2014. The following summer he became a surf rescue technician. “It is a lot of fun to be up on the
stand,” Monteferrante said. “I love being paid to work out and be on the beach.” In the fall, Monteferrante will begin his sophomore year of college at the University of Michigan, where he is studying computer science. “I like making rescues,” Monteferrante said. “It is really fun to do and I love the responsibility. Catch me on 50th [Street this summer.]” Nicholas and Katie Monteferrante, 16, of Potomac, Maryland, spent their last five summers participating in Junior Beach Patrol Academy. “We started the camp at 10 years old and were excited to find out it could be a job for us,” Katie Monteferrante said. “We’ve met a lot of people and locals.” For the next six weeks, the Monteferrante twins will be helping with the Junior Beach Patrol Academy. “After doing the camp and watching my brother become a lifeguard, I decided to try it out and it’s fun,” Nicholas Monteferrante said. “The people are really nice and fun to hang out with.” Nicholas and Katie will be juniors at Winston Churchill High School in Potomac this fall. The twins plan to come back to the Ocean City Beach Patrol every summer until they have jobs.

County to start bidding on landfill Solid waste center to grow into new cell, construction process to take one year By Brian Gilliland Associate Editor (July 7, 2017) Worcester County government is ready to start fielding bids on construction of a new section of the landfill, cell five, following the approval of the county commissioners at its Wednesday meeting. Usually the county meets on Tuesdays, but this week delayed the meeting until after the holiday. The bids are scheduled to be opened on Monday, Aug. 7, and packets are to be sent to a selection of 10 prospective bidders, only one of which is in Maryland, but on the western shore. The others range in locations from Wisconsin to Pennsyl-
vania to North Carolina to Delaware. The project concerns a singlelined sanitary landfill, and calls for 18.7 acres of high-density polyethylene liner on a site within an active landfill, susceptible to odors and vectors contained within. Installed on top of the liner is a 24inch leachate collection system, suitable for allowing liquids to be drawn and collected from the material that is to be placed in the landfill cell and tied into the existing leachate disposal system. According to maps of the site provided with the bid instructions, cell five appears to be somewhat smaller and in a different location than the previous four cells. While the older sections of the landfill are squares laid out like a four-pane window, the fifth is an oddly-shaped rectangle southeast of the other four located

along the access road, just before a series of turns leads to the other cells. The cell is further divided into eight smaller sections. The county has its permits from the Maryland Department of the Environment and other regulatory agencies, according to Public Works Director John Tustin. Tustin wrote in a memo to the commissioners that the project would be paid for through a combination of Enterprise Fund reserves, bond issues and other sources as needed. Tustin said once the bids are in, his department will have a better understanding of what the cost will be and what other sources of funding might be employed to pay for the construction. Enterprise funds are those county services that are expected to pay for themselves through user fees and other mechanisms. Examples of these would be water and wastewater, solid waste, and until this year, the Department of Liquor Control.

Woman charged with stealing lotto tickets worth $25K
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) After an investigation that took place last winter and lasted until the spring, the Ocean City Police Department released details of a lottery ticket theft scheme that resulted in a convenience store losing tens of thousands of dollars. In January, Saroj Pratap KC of Ocean Market on 141st Street reported that an employee had been stealing lottery tickets. The employee was identified as Yashodha Lama, 28, of Ocean City. Ocean City police said that Lama allegedly printed “Racetrax” bets scratch-off tickets without paying for them from Dec. 22, 2016 to Jan. 23. Detectives estimated that she allegedly stole approximately $25,000 worth of tickets over the course of several weeks. After an investigation by Major Crimes Unit detectives, an arrest warrant was issued for Lama on June 1. She was charged with running a theft scheme of $1,000 to under $10,000, a felony, and conspiring to commit a theft scheme for the same amount. Both charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail or a $10,000 fine. Lama’s trial is set for Aug. 8.

POLICE/COURTS
Drive-by punching Police arrested Keith E. Haak, 37, of Honey Brook, Pennsylvania after he allegedly punched his wife around 6 p.m. last Thursday. A witness reported seeing Haak punch a woman and drive away in a Jeep near the 100 block of Atlantic Avenue. Police later saw Haak driving a Jeep north around 62nd Street. Haak allegedly was using his cell phone while making a U-turn in a lane that is designated for turning onto Route 90. When police pulled Haak over at 50th Street, they said they detected the odor of alcohol on his breath. Haak reportedly told police that he
left his wife after an argument but denied hitting her. He also failed a sobriety test, so he was arrested for driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license. Witnesses said Haak hit the woman in the face multiple times and pushed her into the car, according to a police report. Police said that the victim had a recent cut on the right side of her nose and facial swelling. Haak was also charged with second-degree assault.

The fight continued into the highway, disrupting traffic in the bus lane and the left lane, police said. Minutolo and Wallace continued the fight into a nearby parking lot, and eventually were stopped when an officer unholstered a Taser and ordered them to stop. Both men had bloodshot eyes and police could smell alcohol on them, according to the report. They were arrested for affray, disorderly conduct, and intoxicated endangerment.

Knives found more often than guns during arrests this year Firearms discovered in just 18 percent of all weapons cases in resort this summer
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Weapons arrests in Ocean City are tracking with statistics for the last two years, but law enforcement officers are seizing more knives through arrests than they did last year, according to Ocean City Police. As of mid-June, 79 weapons arrests were made in the resort, a five percent reduction as compared to the 83 arrests made during the same period last year. Fourteen of those were firearms-related, which is up by one from this point last June. So far, however, police have seized 77 knives, up 45 percent from this point last summer, where 53 knives were confiscated. “Looking at the statistics, we see more knives than firearms,” Police Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard said. “It just seems like there’s more firearms because we’ve had shooting incidents in such a concentrated period of time.” On June 9, a teenager had allegedly shot himself in the leg and threw away his firearm on the beach around 85th Street. Although police closed the beach to search for the gun, it was never found. Hours after that incident, someone shot at a vehicle behind the McDonald’s on 33rd Street. Richard said she could not discuss
that incident, as it was an open investigation. Four days after those shootings, OCPD arrested two men after they allegedly fired 9mm carbine pistols into the air while they were downtown. These incidents aside, statistics show that Ocean City Police is more likely to recover replica guns during an arrest than an actual firearm. Twenty-five fake firearms had been seized as of June 17, 2016, while 18 replica guns were found during arrests this year. Other weapons, which include stun guns and martial arts devices, tallied 29 seizures so far this year. Twenty-six were taken during arrests in the same amount of time last year. Richard said that in the weeks following the shootings, Ocean City Police has maintained a strong presence in town, whether the officers are in uniform or in plain clothes. To help get weapons off the streets police will perform robbery suppression patrols. The idea is to send police into areas that have higher incidence of crime, like the downtown areas. “Victimology shows that areas that have various alcohol or drug violations usually tie in with robberies and include weapons,” she said. “We also are in the middle of conducting our undercover buy/bust operation, and that helps prevent robberies that are drug-related.” The buy/bust operation last year seized .5 ounces of marijuana and 150 prescription pills and led to 52 arrests.
Two arrested following video of assault, robbery in resort Police detain, release one subject, but found him later after phone footage review
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Ocean City police arrested two men after they allegedly assaulted a visitor and stole his money and two portable radios last Friday night. A patrol officer noticed a man yelling in Baltimore Avenue near Dorchester Street around 7:26 p.m. He told police that two men, later identified as Rodney Dotson, 31, of Salisbury and Jemanual Hudson, 25, of Seaford, Delaware, stole a can of money and his radios. The can had approximately $100 in it, according to the police report. Witnesses who recorded the incident said that the pair had pushed the man down. While Dotson ran off with
the can of money, Hudson allegedly pushed the victim down again to stop him from chasing after Dotson. Police later Hudson near North Division Street, but a search failed to produce either the money or the radios. Police also said they released Hudson after he denied knowing anything about the incident. Witnesses near Dorchester Street, however, corroborated the victim’s report and a cell phone video showed that Hudson pushed the victim when Dotson ran north, police said. Police found Dotson with the portable radios in the inlet parking lot. He was identified as the assailant by the victim and witnesses. Hudson was found in the same area. Police said although Dotson did not have the can of money, it was later found near Wicomico Street. Both men are charged with theft of less than $100, second-degree assault and robbery.

Longer holiday shows more police activity in Ocean City Calls for service up this yr. by 25 percent, more arrests made compared to 2016
By Katie Tabeling Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) With the Fourth of July falling on a Tuesday, thousands of visitors decided to make it a four-day weekend in Ocean City this year, causing a spike in police activity for the period. From Saturday to Tuesday, Ocean City Police documented 3,279 calls for service, up 26 percent from 2016, when the holiday fell on a Monday. Last year, 2,588 recorded calls for service were made, which was 12 percent increase from 2015, when Fourth of July was on Sunday.
Police Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard said despite the call volume, it was business as usual for the department. “Overall, it was a very safe weekend throughout Ocean City with very few serious criminal incidents,” she said. With the extended weekend, 101 arrests were made, which puts it slightly above last year’s 98 arrests and 97 arrests the year before that. The year’s arrests included 10 on drug charges, nine on weapons possession and seven for DUI. Police activity related to illegal behavior dwarfed citizen complaints this year, with 2,527 responses recorded for the former and 752 calls for the latter. In 2016, 1,745 officer-initiated responses occurred versus 843 citizen calls for service.
Traumas strain Blood Bank of Delmarva, donations needed
Summer Fan Sale
(July 7, 2017) A rash of traumas in the area in recent days has put a critical strain on the local blood supply, prompting the Blood Bank of Delmarva to ask for the community’s help. “Unfortunately a succession of trauma situations has had a negative impact on our supply of blood, especially O positive, one of the most common blood types there is, said Michael Waite, Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD) director of marketing and community relations. “Our supply of O positive is usually pretty robust, but these occurrences over the last few days have really hampered our ability to replace what’s already been used and is continuing to be used.” Waite said the absence of donations could have negatively affect patient care and “we cannot let that happen.”

WORLD WAR II: 80 YEARS AGO
The Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937
By Sam Ghaleb Contributing Writer (July 7, 2017) This week, 80 years ago, the Japanese army attacked the Chinese garrison in the town of Wanping, across from the Marc Polo Bridge. This incident sparked the Second Sino-Japanese War, and to many historians, the start of World War II. The First Sino-Japanese War occurred in 1894-95, and was a conflict between Japan and China for dominance over Korea. In reality, it was a Japanese attempt to preempt Russian expansion down the Korean Peninsula. Japanese policymakers believed that dominance over the Korean Peninsula by any great power would directly threaten their national security. The First Sino-Japanese War was the first of two limited wars to prevent that. Japan sought to protect itself, first by expelling China from Korea in the First Sino-Japanese War, and then, a decade later, expelling Russia from both Korea and southern Manchuria in the RussoJapanese War (1904-1905). A quarter of a century later, continuing Russian involvement in China, and Japanese perceptions of the threat that this entailed, culminated in a Japanese attack and occupation of Manchuria in 1931. When the Japanese Kwantung Army had completed its conquest of Manchuria in 1932, it converted this vast former region of China into a Japanese puppet state called “Manchukuo,” in September 1932. The last Manchu emperor of China, Henry Pu Yi, agreed to be enthroned as emperor of Japan’s puppet state, and he ruled
“Manchukuo” under the control of the Kwantung Army. By the mid-1930s, Japan’s army, air and naval forces were making it a first-rate military power and their control over Japan’s politics was being felt by politicians. In the meantime, Japanese army extremists had become impatient with Japan’s existing political and economic structures, which they felt were impeding Japan’s progress toward military dominance of Asia. They vowed to destroy the power of the politicians and industrialists who were the emperor’s chief advisers. On Feb. 26, 1936, fanatical army officers assassinated two of Emperor Hirohito’s key advisers, and army mutineers surrounded the Japanese Foreign Office and held much of Tokyo city for three days. Prime Minister Keisuke Okada escaped the assassins’ bullets when they killed his brother-in-law by mistake. The plot to overthrow civilian government failed when the Army High Command refused to support the mutineers. The leaders of the mutiny were persuaded to commit suicide to avoid a trial which would have embarrassed the army. The most extreme military leaders were then replaced by ones who were prepared to support civilian government. By 1936, Japan’s imperial government viewed the Soviet Union as the main threat to Japan’s conquests on the mainland of Asia, and, in particular, Japan’s puppet state of Manchukuo. With further territorial expansion on the Asian mainland in mind, and with China the primary target, Japan began looking for allies who would be comfortable with military aggression and likely to support Japan in the event of a military confrontation with the Soviet Union. Adolf Hitler was pleased to accommodate Japan, and on Nov. 25, 1936, Japan and Germany signed the “Anti-Comintern Pact.” The ostensi-
ble purpose of the “Anti-Comintern Pact” was to contain the spread of communism, but it contained a secret protocol that required both parties to consult with a view to safeguarding their common interests if either Germany or Japan was attacked by the Soviet Union. The Japanese viewed the pact as a safeguard of Manchukuo against the Soviet Union seeking to use Japan’s puppet state as a means of access to an ice-free Pacific port. Fascist Italy joined the pact in 1937. The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) was brutal, engulfing all northern China, central and south east regions, and most of the coastal areas and the island of Hainan. This war cost China more than 10 million dead and the Japanese army most of its casualties during World War II (1941-45). Although the policy of Soviet containment is generally associated with U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War, in reality, from the First SinoJapanese War to the end of World War II, Japanese policymakers had consistently applied containment to Russia. In June 1937, Japan’s Kwantung Army began military exercises at the west end of the Marco Polo Bridge, which spanned central China’s Yongding River. On the east side of the bridge, in the town of Wanping, the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) forces watched with great concern the unfolding of the Japanese exercise. At dawn of July 7, the Japanese army telegraphed the KMT forces saying that a soldier was missing and believed to be hiding inside the town. The Japanese demanded that its army should enter the town to search for the missing soldier — he was later found unharmed. There are some disputes among historians over the incident, with some believing that this was an unintentional accident, while others believing that the entire

JULY 7, 2017
WORLD WAR II: 80 YEARS AGO incident was fabricated by the Kwantung Army to provide a pretext for the invasion of central China. Col. Ji Xingwen, the Chinese commander of the garrison in Wanping, denied the Japanese request. He was backed by his superior, Gen. Song Zheyuan. In the evening of July 7, Gen. TakurĹ? Matsui, the Japanese commander at the Marco Polo Bridge, gave Col. Ji an ultimatum: KMT troops must let Japanese troops enter the town within the next hour or the town would be destroyed. The Japanese artillery had already aimed at the town when the ultimatum was sent. At midnight July 8, Japanese artillery units started bombarding the town, while the infantry, with tanks, marched across the bridge at dawn. Gen. Song, ordered Col. Ji, and his force of about 1,000, to defend, at all cost. The Japanese army partially overran the bridge and surrounding area in the afternoon. KMT forces, after reinforcement from nearby units, outnumbered the Japanese and retook it completely the next day. The Japanese army then halted the attack and offered negotiation, marking the end of Phase I. Nevertheless, the Japanese army still was concentrated at the west end of the bridge. Opinions of the senior KMT officers of the 24th Army were divided at their meeting in Beijing on July 12. One group insisted that KMT forces must remain, defending the bridge and resisted any temptation of negotiating with the Japanese, whom they did not trust. Another group of officers argued that the incident on July 7 could still be settled by negotiation. Gen. Song then sent Gen. Zhang Zishong as KMT representative to Tianjin to meet Gen. Gun Hashimoto, the commander of all Japanese forces around the cities of Beijing and Tianjin. At the beginning, Hashimoto told Zhang that the Japanese hoped the incident on July 7, could be settled peacefully. Zhang was encouraged by his friendly gesture and telegraphed Song that any increased concentration of Kuomintang (KMT) forces around Beijing, would be viewed as
an escalation and would anger the Japanese. However, Gen. Song thought Hashimoto was only buying time, since he received various reconnaissance reports indicating increasing accumulation of Japanese forces from Manchuria and Korea around Beijing. As a precaution, Gen. Song sent the 132nd infantry Division to the town of Nanwan, which lies between the bridge and Beijing. Chinese army divisions in those days were a motley crew of 4,000 to 5,000 men, armed with only rifles, a few mortars and heavy machine guns. These forces were not in a position to withstand the full onslaught of Japanese divisions with their heavy artillery, tank support, and air power. On July 16, 1937, U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull issued a statement of fundamental principles of international policy. The secretary stated that any situation in which armed hostilities were in progress or were threatened was a situation wherein rights and interests of all nations either were, or might be, seriously affected. Therefore, he felt it a duty to make a statement of his governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position in regard to international problems and situations with respect to which his country felt deep concern. He said that the following principles were advocated by the United States: maintenance of peace; national and international, self-restraint; abstinence from use of force in pursuit of policy; abstinence from interference in the internal affairs of other nations; adjustment of problems in international relations by processes of peaceful negotiation and agreement; faithful observance of international agreements; modification of provisions of treaties, when need therefore arises, by orderly processes carried out in a spirit of mutual helpfulness and accommodation; respect by all nations for the rights of others and performance by all nations of established obligations; revitalization and strengthening of international law; promotion of economic security Continued on Page 36

WORLD WAR II: 80 YEARS AGO Continued from Page 35 and stability the world over; lowering or removing of excessive barriers of international trade; effective equality of commercial opportunity and application of the principle of equality of treatment; and limitation, and reduction, of armaments. The secretary stated that the United States avoided entering into alliances or entangling commitments but believed in cooperative effort by peaceful and practical means in support of the above-stated principles. This statement of fundamental principles of international policy was sent to the other governments of the world for comment. The reply from Germany was that the Reich Government had taken note with due interest of Secretary Hull’s statement; that the Reich Government’s “basic principle is, as is generally known, directed toward the regulation of international relations by pacific agreement and hence coincides with the ideas developed by the Secretary of State.” The reply from Italy was that the Fascist Government, “appreciates at their high value the principles enunciated by Secretary of State Hull”; that it favored everything which con-
duced to the pacification and to the political and economic reconstruction of the world; and that, therefore, it regarded with sympathy every initiative which tended to achieve that end by means of the limitation of armaments, by means of economic understanding among nations, non-intervention in the internal affairs of other countries, and any other means which might then or in the future appear responsive to this objective. The Japanese Government replied that it expressed concurrence with the principles contained in the statement by Secretary Hull; that it believed that the objectives of those principles would only be attained, in their application to the Far Eastern situation, by a full recognition and practical consideration of the actual circumstances of the region. Secretary Hull summoned the Chinese and Japanese Ambassadors on July 21, 1937, and in separate conversations with them, emphasized that the United States government was ready and would gladly do anything short of mediation - which would require the agreement of both parties in advance - to contribute in a fair and impartial way toward re-
solving the controversy between China and Japan. The secretary said that when two nations comprising 500 million people were engaged in a controversy, in which general hostilities appeared imminent, the United States could not help feeling great concern. He said that it was in the light of this situation and of the “intense desire” of the United States for peace everywhere that he conferred with them; that he thus approached each Government in a spirit of friendliness and impartiality in an earnest effort to contribute something to the cause of peace. He expressed the opinion that a war would result in irreparable harm to all countries involved and would prove “utterly disastrous” to human welfare and progress. On Aug. 10, 1937, the United States Ambassador to Japan, under instructions from the secretary of state, offered informally to the Japanese government the good offices of the United States toward the settlement of the controversy between Japan and China. This offer contemplated the providing of neutral ground where Japanese and Chinese representa-
tives might meet to negotiate and the giving of assistance in adjusting difficulties that might develop during negotiations. Japan did not respond to this offer. Consequently the United States government felt that there would be no useful purpose in making a similar approach to the Chinese Government. Meanwhile, the China “incident” had developed into large-scale military operations as Japan poured men and materiel into China. On Aug. 23, 1937, the Department of State issued a statement declaring that the issues and problems which were of concern to the United States in the existing situation in the Pacific area went, “....far beyond merely the immediate question of protection of the nationals and interests of the United States.” This conflict between China and Japan would continue to 1945, and would be characterized by brutal and barbaric acts of atrocities by the Japanese. The Japanese Army remained undefeated on the battlefield, until the signing of the instrument of surrender on September 2, 1945, in Tokyo Bay, on the battleship USS Missouri. Next week: “The Photo”

Salt Air Services grocery shops for locals, vacationers
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Residents strapped for time or vacationers looking to spend their precious moments on relaxation may want to utilize Salt Air Services, a local grocery delivery company owned by Heather Marinelli. She shops for desired groceries using a form completed by the client and delivers the items to homes, rentals or hotel rooms before putting them away. “The last thing you want to do is battle traffic and stand in line at a grocery store,” Marinelli said. “A lot of clients have been families with small children.” Services are available in Ocean City and Ocean Pines in addition to Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, Ocean View, Millville and Selbyville in Delaware. Salt Air Services also offers a locals discount. “Other towns in the area will be considered on a case-by-case basis,” Marinelli said. “I would love to develop this into a year-round business. My goal is catering to local retirees, working and newborn moms. I remember being a newborn mom myself and it was tough.” Grocery shopping lists are filled out online and broken down into 18 categories including canned food, fruits, vegetables, breakfast, meat, seafood, sauces, household, frozen, bakery, deli, beverages, toiletries, snacks, child items and others. In addition, the grocery form has a note section, which gives clients space to list specifics, preferences and special requests. “The goal is to make it as easy to use as possible with the grocery form,” Marinelli said. “If someone in the family has a gluten allergy, make sure to list it. People work all year to come down on vacation and I want them to spend as much time with their family and friends as possible.” As a Selbyville resident, Marinelli is closest to Harris Teeter and Food Lion grocery stores, but she is more than happy to accommodate preferences. Marinelli intends to make the interaction personable by leaving her name and phone number for future services or questions along with a handwritten note during deliveries. Clients are also given a copy of the grocery bill and an invoice from Salt Air Services with a breakdown of all charges. Residents and vacationers are asked to place orders 48 hours in advance. “People work hard all year to have a limited vacation and spend time with their kids on the beach,” Marinelli said.

Marinelli puts away groceries in a downtown Ocean City condo. She shops for desired groceries using a form completed by the client, and delivers the items to homes, rentals or hotel rooms.
“They shouldn’t have to worry about packing up the kids, heading to the grocery store and then unloading everything. It is easily half of your day, when you could be doing something else.” In the beginning of May, Salt Air Services came to fruition after Marinelli was talking to her neighbor, who has friends from out of town and they utilized a shopping service at a local grocery store. “We all have children and people do not want to spend their whole day in Ocean City traffic when someone can deliver their groceries to the door,” Marinelli said. “With Ocean City being the resort town it is, I thought it would
be a great service and much needed in the area.” The goal was to launch Ocean Air Services on Memorial Day weekend after getting a license and insurance in addition to creating a logo and designing the website. “My first client was the week after Memorial Day,” Marinelli said. “Fortunately, I live here year-round and know how special it is. If I can help make the most of their time while they are here, I am more than happy to.” Visit www.saltairservices.com to fill out a grocery shopping list for services or call 302-228-0800 and search “Salt Air Services” on Facebook for more information.
By Lauren Bunting Contributing Writer (July 7, 2017) You found the house of your dreams; you put an offer in, negotiate a price, and sign on the dotted line. Done, right? Not really. The home inspection process is another point of negotiation in a traditional contract. Home inspections are a buyer’s expense and usually range from $250-500, depending on the size of the home. The home inspection purpose, as stated on the addendum used in Maryland contracts, is to “discover significant and material defects or adverse or dangerous conditions, if any, of the components and systems of the property.” The most common home inspection covers “structural and mechanical” and may include, but is not limited to: foundations and/or basement, floor systems, ceilings, doors, windows, roof, insulation, exterior and interior wall systems, decks, porches, garages, plumbing and electrical systems, heating and cooling systems, appliances, and mechanical equipment. A home inspection is a visual report, and therefore is limited by vegetation on the exterior or possessions inside the house that may block the inspector’s ability to gain access. The report is a snapshot in time. It’s important to conduct final walk-through inspections immediately before closing to check the condition of the property. Additional inspections a buyer may request in a contract are mold, chimney, lead, and environmental. Many buyers request mold inspections, and this inspection is usually just visual unless the buyer specifically requests the company take air quality samples. In some cases, sellers may opt to pay for a home inspection prior to listing their home as a marketing tool. Having a seller-provided home inspection prior to listing identifies any major problems that could later scare off would-be bidders. However, the seller has to be prepared to make the repairs suggested on the report, but this can be cheaper for the seller to do outside of a negotiation with a buyer. From the buyer’s perspective though, the purchase of a home is usually the biggest financial investment of their life. Accepting the home inspection provided by the sellers may not provide enough peace of mind, and buyers may opt to conduct their own inspection by a contractor of their choice. — Lauren Bunting is a licensed Realtor with Bunting Realty, Inc. in Berlin.

Renovations completed at hallmark hotel Dunes Court (July 7, 2017) Dunes Court, a fourstar rated hotel by Tripadvisor and Google in Ocean City, has just completed a full renovation of its 49 standard guest rooms and exteriors. The goal of the project was to enhance and refresh their guests’ experiences while maintaining the property’s fun and relaxed old school charm. “Dunes Court was bought in the 60s by Thelma and Milton Conner, and the hotel developed an enduring reputation for delivering comfort, a laidback pace, and value for its guests,” said Joanne Cunningham, director of Sales and Marketing for Dunes Court. “Our renovation preserves the motel’s original spirit and brings it into 2017, thanks to updated accommodations and amenities.” Upgrades to the Dunes Court’s rooms and guest experience include complimentary WiFi, eco-friendly HVAC system, 48-inch wall-mounted HD televisions, in-room irons, hair dryers, refrigerators, safes, and microwaves, raised ceilings, new faux
wood blinds, complimentary ice and coffee in the lobby throughout the day and free family activities (parties, games, music, contests, snacks/drinks). “While all of our guests will be extremely happy with the new and improved affordable beach basics of Dunes Court, returning guests smile when they see the ‘Dunes’ roof sign, which is preserved from the original hotel,” Cunningham said. “It’s a nostalgic reminder of the Dunes Court’s heritage, and that the attention to quality which put us on the map almost 50 years ago is still being delivered today.” A permanent fixture of the Ocean City landscape for almost 50 years, Dunes Court was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Milton Conner in the 1960’s and is still owned by the family along with the Dunes Manor Hotel & Suites on 28th Street. Dunes Court, located at 2700 Baltimore Avenue in Ocean City, just completed a full renovation of its 49 standard guest rooms and exteriors.

Shore United donates $5K to AGH campaign (July 7, 2017) The Atlantic General Hospital Campaign for the Future received a donation of $5,000 from Shore United Bank toward upcoming projects including the new John H. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;? Burbage, Jr. Regional Cancer Care Center. Shore United Bank and its community of companies has a rich history dating back to 1850. The bank is committed to the success of its communities and maintains strong ties within the communities it serves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re honored to support Atlantic General Hospital and its mission to bring services like comprehensive cancer care to the community,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Mears, Shore United Bank market executive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extremely grateful for the commitment shown to our not-forprofit community hospital and the generous support of local businesses
like Shore United Bank,â&#x20AC;? said Campaign for the Future Co-Chair Jack Burbage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way healthcare services are delivered is changing, but Atlantic Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to state-of-theart medicine only grows stronger. Philanthropy plays a critical role here in our community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thanks to the generosity and support of the residents and businesses of our community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we can help AGH meet the challenges of providing the very best healthcare services right here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; close to home.â&#x20AC;? The funds raised during the $10 million Atlantic General Campaign for the Future will allow Atlantic General Hospital to complete $35 million in capital projects. Among them is construction of a new 18,000-square-foot full service cancer care center, completion of a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health center in West Ocean City, renovation of existing surgical fa-
cilities and expansion of emergency services within Atlantic General Hospital as well as improvements to inpatient care areas. To date, the Foundation has already secured over $3 million of the $10 million goal in pledges, commitments and grants. The new 18,000-square-foot Regional Cancer Care Center, which is to be built on hospital-owned property at the corner of Route 113 and Old Ocean City Boulevard (Route 346) in Berlin, will provide one centrally-located, convenient facility for the care and treatment of individuals with cancer and blood disorders. In addition to existing medical oncology and chemotherapy infusion services and integrative therapies, the new center will include radiation oncology; PET imaging; laboratory services; community education and
support facilities; and telemedicine technology that will allow patients and their physicians to consult with other cancer care experts, preventing unnecessary travel for consultation and follow up care for patients who may require more intensive cancer care services. Construction will be complete in early 2018. Atlantic General Hospital has been providing quality health care to the residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties in Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware since May 1993. Built by the commitment and generosity of a dedicated community, the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state-of-the-art facility in Berlin, combines old-fashioned personal attention with the latest in technology and services.

AGH connects shore patients with UMMC cine service at Atlantic General Hospital is to utilize the latest technological advances we have in an effort to save patients and their families from traveling more than two hours one-way to Baltimore from Berlin to be evaluated and ensure that at least their initial care can be done in the patients’ local community,” said Marc T. Zubrow, M.D., vice president, Telemedicine and Medical Director, eCare, University of Maryland Medical System. The program will include post-operative and follow-up telemedicine visits as well. Eventually, patients will be able to receive second opinions as well as treatment planning, via telemedicine from UMMC specialists for a variety of cancer diagnoses. These visits will be conducted in coordination with the medical oncologists at Atlantic General’s new John H. “Jack” Burbage Regional Cancer Care Center, which is scheduled to open in the spring of 2018. Atlantic General Hospital’s experience with telemedicine began with the launch of University of Maryland eCare to provide around-the-clock remote monitoring of ICU patients in 2010. Shortly thereafter, AGH expanded much-needed behavioral health services in 2011 through a telemedicine partnership with therapists at Sheppard Pratt, a psychiatric hospital in Towson. Another such partnership – this time with Baltimore-based Kennedy Krieger
Institute – was forged in 2014 to provide diagnosis and treatment of developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, in children. In 2015, AGH partnered with Berlin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (BNRC) to provide telemedicine care for patients discharged to BNRC for rehabilitation services. In 2016, family physician Diane Ceruzzi, D.O., began seeing some of the patients at her Pocomoke practice remotely, in between her wound consultations at Atlantic General’s Wound Care Center, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This year, telemedicine will expand care into the patient’s home to provide daily remote monitoring of important measures, such as weight and blood pressure for high-risk patients, and video consultations with from home with physicians as necessary. Built by the commitment and generosity of a dedicated community, the hospital’s state-of-the-art facility in Berlin combines old-fashioned personal attention with the latest in technology and services. It provides quality specialty care such as weight loss surgery, orthopedics, outpatient infusion and chemotherapy for individuals with cancer or blood/autoimmune disorders and a comprehensive women’s diagnostic center.

racic Surgery at UMMC will take part in the program. All of the surgeries will take place at UMMC, which is also home to the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC). “We expect that these appointments will be very much like a patient visit in our office here in Baltimore,” said Joseph Friedberg, M.D., the Charles Reid Edwards Professor of Surgery and head of the Division of Thoracic Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Thoracic surgeon-in-chief of the University of Maryland Medical System. “We want this experience to be very convenient for patients and to decrease some of the stress they are experiencing related to their diagnosis. “We are very pleased to partner with Atlantic General in this first step toward building a robust thoracic surgery telemedicine program in Maryland and the region,” Dr. Friedberg continued. “Living on the lower Eastern Shore has many advantages, but historically access to the most advanced specialty care has been difficult,” said Michael Franklin, president and CEO of Atlantic General Hospital. “Embracing telemedicine technology to bring specialists and care to the patient, rather than making patients travel several hours when they are not feeling well, creates the best of all worlds for those of us living in this great community.” “The goal of expanding the telemedi-

(July 7, 2017) Residents of the lower Eastern Shore who may require advanced lung surgery, including those with diagnosed or suspected cancers, will soon be able to meet with leading experts in thoracic surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) in Baltimore more easily. Video teleconferencing consultations begin this month due to an expanded telemedicine partnership between UMMC and Atlantic General Hospital (AGH). UMMC, the University of Maryland Medical System’s academic medical center, already provides around-the-clock remote monitoring of ICU patients at AGH as part of the University of Maryland eCare network. By video teleconferencing, UMMC thoracic surgeons will virtually consult with a patient at AGH and review CT scans and other tests to see if he or she is a surgical candidate. The entire work-up and pre-operative consultation is done locally. If a surgical procedure is needed, it will be performed at UMMC. “There are numerous articles in the lung cancer literature that show, when surgery is done at an academic medical center, patients have longer survival and fewer complications, compared to those who receive surgery at nonacademic centers,” said Peter Costantini, M.D., pulmonologist with Atlantic General Health System.

A lot of people fish in the tournament because it’s free to Marlin Club members.” Billfish Release: The Maverick crew released a blue marlin – the first one of the season for a Marlin Club member – to take first place in the division. The group was awarded $12,150. The Haulin’ N Ballin’ team released a white marlin and won $1,620. The Griffin anglers also released a white and took home $1,080.

By Lisa Capitelli Managing Editor (July 7, 2017) There are several new rules and added entry-level calcuttas in place for the 30th annual Ocean City Tuna Tournament, slated for July 14-16. Tournament organizers met with a committee of past participants over the winter to brainstorm and discuss the competition and some adjustments were made for the 2017 event. This year, anglers can pass the rod while fighting a fish, with the exception of junior and lady anglers competing for those awards. “We had a lot of requests for that,” Tournament Director Jennifer Blunt said. If an angler is struggling to reel in a big tuna, another can take over to help bring the fish to the boat. Paid captains and mates can’t be anglers. They can only hook a fish and hand the rod off to someone else. Only one big eye can be weighed per boat each day. That fish can be added to stringer weight. Weigh-in times on Friday, July 14 and Saturday, July 15 have been extended one hour and will now end at 8:30 p.m. Boats must reach the junction buoy by 8 p.m. Crews will then have 30 minutes to get their fish to the Ocean City Fishing Center scale in West Ocean City. Sunday will remain the same, with the scale closing at 7 p.m. Organizers have also changed the boat size added levels. They are: boats 35 feet and under, 36-51 feet and 52 feet and larger. To increase the chance for more participants to win money, organizers added two new “On the Board Reward” levels, as well as a largest bluefin tuna calcutta. “Tuna fishing is good. We’re seeing some bluefin, wahoo, dolphin,” Blunt said earlier this week. “We’ve seen a few big eyes. They’re not quite here yet. I think we’ll see a lot of yellowfin [during the tournament]. Yellowfin is what were mostly seeing right now.” Early registration for the tournament ends today, July 7, at 5 p.m. The cost is $900 to enter. Final registration will take place Thursday, July 13, from 3-7 p.m. at the Fishing Center in West Ocean City. A captains’ meeting will follow. For those who miss early registration, the cost is $1,000 per boat (maximum six anglers). Altogether, there are 17 added entry-level calcuttas for the 2017 See NEW Page 46

Eighth annual Diakonia golf tourney, July 19
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) A captain’s choice scramble, three raffles and a catered lunch await participants in the eighth annual Diakonia golf tournament on Wednesday, July 19, at the Ocean City Golf Club, which is the nonprofits’ largest fundraiser of the year. “This tournament helps raise awareness of what Diakonia does, broadens our outreach into the community, and provides critical funding in the summer months,” Claudia Nagle, executive director of Diakonia, said. “Diakonia provides an array of
services across our community that assist people in varying levels of crisis. This level of service is unmatched in the three lower shore counties.” The deadline to register for the tournament is July 12 and includes a golf cart, tee gift, complimentary refreshments and a catered lunch for $100 a person or $400 a team. The Irish Penny, out of Salisbury, will provide lunch again this year consisting of pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw, chips, drinks, and cookies at 11:30 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m. There will be mulligans available
for $5 a piece with a limit of two per player in addition to complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar during the final score segment. For the second year, Pickles Pub, located on Eighth Street in Ocean City, will be providing hors d’oeuvres of hot dogs, meatballs, hand-cut fries and a salad. “All fundraisers are important for Diakonia but the golf tournament is our largest of the year, bringing together a diverse group of supporters from the wider community,” Nagle said. “Men, women, young and older, business owners and professionals,
volunteers, and supporters of our mission [come out] for a fun day of golf in the beautiful setting of the OC Golf Club.” Three raffles will take place this year including an outdoor rocking chair donated by Kendall Furniture of West Ocean City. Tickets cost $2 for one ticket or three for $5. Another raffle consists of more than 50 prizes donated by businesses from Ocean City and Berlin. Tickets cost $10 for 10 tickets and $20 for 25 tickets. “While Ocean City, Berlin and Worcester County support us though See LARGEST Page 48

Swim event honors late Capt. Craig
By Morgan Pilz Intern (July 7, 2017) The 23rd annual Captain Robert S. Craig Boardwalk Swim and eighth annual Ginny Craig Quarter Mile Swim will take place this Saturday, beginning at 6 p.m. Craig was captain of the Ocean City Beach Patrol from 1935-1986, the longest term for any in the position, as well as the longest-serving member of the organization. The swim honors the late captain for his many years of service. Competitors will swim a measured mile with the prevailing current to a finish line located at 14th Street and the beach. In addition to the annual one-mile swim, the Ginny Craig quarter-mile event will take competitors on a 400meter distance along the coast and also finish in the area of 14th Street. “Once I took over as captain, we decided to not only continue to honor him, but Ginny Craig as well,” OCBP Capt. Butch Arbin said. “Members of
the beach patrol, if they’re married, need to have their family’s support behind them.” Capt. Craig first began employment with the Ocean City Beach Patrol in the 1920s and worked his way up to captain in 1935. When he was not serving Ocean City in the summer, Craig would return to his high school teaching job at Principia, a Christian science university, in St. Louis, Missouri. “He helped create the patrol as it is,” Capt. Arbin said. “He created the way the patrol uses discipline. He was instrumental in creating the original testing that we did for a person to get on the patrol. He really had a lot to do with the foundation of the patrol that we still have today.” A registration form for the event can be completed online by visiting www.ococean.com/ocbp. The cost to compete is $30. Swimmers for both races must meet at 14th Street. The event will
Monday Only
end at 14 street and Boardwalk transportation will be provided. Competitors will be taken to North Division Street and walk out to the water’s edge and swim north to 14th street. If the current is going the other way, the Boardwalk train will take the swimmers to the north end of the Boardwalk and swim south to the 14th Street finish line. Competitors are expected to get to the water by no later than 6:30 p.m. Participants will still be required to check-in on the day of the competition, pay the registration fee, and complete the proper paperwork before being permitted to compete. Registration includes a T-shirt as well as certificates and medals for the top three finishers in each category of both events. Registration on-site begins at 5 p.m. Anyone interested in participating can sign up at www.ococean.com /ocbp. They can also contact the beach patrol headquarters at 410-289-7556.

Participants paddle around the island behind BJ’s on the Water during last year’s Canoe Races. The annual race, now in its 38th year, returns to the 75th Street restaurant on Tuesday, July 11, at 11 a.m. Registration begins at 10 a.m.
Annual Canoe Races at BJ’s on the Water, July 11
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) A popular summertime tradition in Ocean City, the annual Canoe Races at BJ’s on the Water, returns for the 38th year to the 75th Street restaurant on Tuesday, July 11. “We lose a lot of traditions in our everyday lives from the hustle and bustle,” said Maddy Carder, co-owner of BJ’s on the Water with her husband, Billy. “The canoe races are a joyful experience with friends and coworkers. You will never forget the laughs for the rest of your lives and it makes your summer. Everyone is in a great mood and partying. “It’s stuck around this long and I am hoping it continues for a long time,” she added. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. on Tuesday with the races slated to start about an hour later. The cost is $50 per team of four, which must consist of two women and two men. In addition, participants must be 21 or older with a valid ID and wear closed-toe shoes. “We don’t shut out teams and you can sign up until noon,” Carder said. “As long as you’re 21 and you can get two guys and two girls together, you can participate.” Sometimes there is a line wrapped around the building during registration, she added. The number of teams participating in each heat depends on how many show up to compete on July 11. “The reason we do not have registrations in advance is due to many variables,” Carder said. “We have a lot of security to make sure everyone is 21 years old— even the spectators. We have to be careful that day and you must be 21 to walk in the door [during the races].” The races kick off at 11 a.m. when the first duos will paddle around the

island behind the restaurant, come back and then jump out as their teammates hop into the canoe to complete the same half-mile route. Depending on how many teams come out on Tuesday, the winners of their heat, wildcard and semifinal races will move onto the finals where the 2017 champions will be determined. “We had 96 teams in 2015,” Carder said. “Personally, I like about 40 teams, then we can stretch it out and have wildcard heats. It’s exciting and fun. All winning team members get trophies.” Each participant on the top three placing teams will win a trophy and cash prizes. The first-place team will have their names engraved on the official canoe race trophy along with the previous 37 winners and take home $500. The trophy will remain on display at BJ’s. Second place will receive $300 and the third-place team will win $200. “The winners have bragging rights until next year,” Carder said. “We ran out of space on the original trophy a couple years ago. I added to the trophy to continue putting the winners’ names on.” Anyone 21 and older can participate in the Canoe Races where teams
pick a theme and dress accordingly. “It is important to know you don’t have to be from a bar or restaurant to participate, although the majority are,” Carder said. “Any business or even a family as long as they are 21. We’ve seen lifeguard teams participate [in previous years.]” Last year, a team from Seacrets came in first place, BJ’s on the Water took home second and Blu Crabhouse employees finished in third with 52 teams participating in the competition. “It is a long way around that island— longer than you think [and] at a fast pace, fighting the wind and tides to tag the next teammate,” Carder said. “And if you make it to a wildcard or finals, you do it all over again. It’s survival of the fittest.” Participants are asked to refrain from wearing glitter because it washes off in the bay, causing environmental issues and interfering with the wildfowl sanctuary BJ’s on the Water has been building up for 38 years. Each competitor will also take home a souvenir T-shirt. “They are collector’s items and we have a different design every year,” Carder said. Many restaurants and bars have riSee RACES Page 50

Since there is no pre-registration for the canoe races, it’s always a surprise to see how many teams will come out, she said. “It truly is an Ocean City tradition,” Carder said. “It started so many years ago and the fun part is people who work here and in town— their kids are participating now. It has come full circle just like our class pictures from every summer since we opened. People are always pointing themselves out to their children. I always take the picture the day before the canoe races.” In addition to the races, BJ’s will have a grill set up on the deck to serve hamburgers and hot dogs as well as its regular menu. There will also be a number of drink and food specials going on during the event.

OCBP to offer Junior Beach Patrol Academy this summer By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) The Ocean City Beach Patrol begins another summer of Junior Beach Patrol Academy this Tuesday, where children gain awareness and experience with educational training in the surf during the four-day hands-on program. “It’s great for kids who want to be outside and like being in the ocean,” said Ocean City Beach Patrol Lt. Ward Kovacs, director of the academy. “It also boosts your confidence in the ocean. The academy generally attracts children who like being outdoors and are athletic.” The academy has prepared a number of lifeguards, known as Surf Rescue Technicians, and five current crew chiefs, which is about 25 percent. At least 10 of the rookie lifeguards participated in the Junior Beach Patrol Academy and will sit in the stands protecting Ocean City’s beach this summer, he said. “We originally started the academy to teach beach safety and as a recruiting tool,” Kovacs said. “I don’t think any of us expected it to be at the level of recruiting it is now.” This summer, more than 200 youth ages 10-17 will participate in the academy during a six-week period. The program is designed for various skill levels, that way returning campers can continue their surf rescue education every summer. Depending on their age, participants can complete a one-week session or choose to finish multiple levels all in one summer. In any given session, half of participants are residents and the others come from all over the United States and Canada. First-year Junior Beach Patrol Academy participants learn about rescue buoys, safety information and a little bit about semaphore flag
communication whereas second-year returnees study landline rescues and third-year students gain experience with paddleboards, Kovacs said. “Around 10 years old is when kids want to go to the beach with their friends’ families,” he said. “Completing Junior Beach Patrol Academy can be a trade-off [to go on these trips] if they can demonstrate to their parents they can [navigate themselves safely in the water.] It benefits the parents too. We wear them out and they go to sleep early. That’s when we know we did our jobs.” The fourth year is the crew chief level where students are in a leadership position and responsible for taking charge of a team, he said. After completing these levels, participants can apply for a paid position as an assistant instructor and some eventually go on to join the Ocean City Beach Patrol at 17 years old. “People work with us a few years and then move on to be police officers, firefighters, paramedics, [members of the] Coast Guard or join the bomb squad,” Kovacs said. “These kids eventually go into these jobs and we give them exposure to water safety early in their lives.” There are competitions through an obstacle course with relays that include running, swimming and paddleboarding in addition to a graduation ceremony on Fridays. The Junior Beach Patrol program started in 1992 to help cover its threepart mission of education, prevention and intervention, he said. Several afternoon camps will take place to accommodate more participants and there will be half a dozen one-day sessions on Thursday afternoons this year. “One-day sessions are for kids in town that can’t register for four days or See WEEKLY Page 55

Weekly and one-day sessions available for junior academy Continued from Page 53 are hesitant,” Kovacs said. “They can see if they like the one-day before signing up for the four-day session.” The Junior Beach Patrol Academy is a four-day program and runs from 811:30 a.m. every Tuesday through Friday, July 11 through Aug. 18. The six Thursday sessions take place from 1-5 p.m. each week. Children ages 10-17 must know how to swim to participate. “People love the afternoons,” Kovacs said. “The afternoon sessions are popular and we had so many people on the waiting list that we added more a couple years ago.” To sign up for the weekly camp or a
Thursday session, visit www.oceancitymd.gov/oc/departments/recreationparks/camps/jr-beach-patrol or call Ocean City Recreation and Parks at 410-250-0125. The Junior Beach Patrol Program costs $108 for Ocean City residents and $130 for non-residents with Thursday’s sessions costing $30 and $35. “It is a way to keep our guards involved and a great summer job,” Kovacs said. “Kids are running around with the lifeguards all day and they gain skills. The ratio of instructors to participants is really good for safety and it’s been successful. There is a lot of oneon-one time with instructors.”
Annual Bathtub Races roll down Main St. in Berlin, Fri.
By Josh Davis Associate Editor (July 7, 2017) Returning champions Burley Oak Brewing Company will defend its title during the 2017 Berlin Bathtub Races this Friday. The local brewing company will again bring two racers this year. In 2016, Burley entered its traditional beer barrel, pushed by owner Bryan Brushmiller, but it won with a new custom-built craft by Loaded Gun Customs in Fenwick Island and operated by Joie Polite and Kasey Jones. Winners of the 2015 races, the Town of Berlin’s Water Resources Department, finished a close second last year with a tub operated by Sean Cooper and Ryan Showell. The annual event, a quirky signature of the town, challenges local businesses and organizations to build a bathtub-like vessel that can hold water, but also could be used as a racing vehicle with one person steering and another pushing. Sponsored by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce, the race this year will begin at about 4 p.m. downtown with a parade of all of the Bathtub Race entrants led by “The Bathmen,” volunteers Kenny “Cupcake” Tomaselli, Bill Hoshal and Mike Wiley. For the first time, a three-piece
bagpipe band will lead the procession. New Chamber Administrative Assistant Ashley Harrison said seven other teams had signed up as of last week: Bath Fitters, Berlin Farm Supply, Costa Ventosa Winery and Brewery, Seaside Plumbing Inc., The Globe, and Harrison’s Roofing Consultants. Gilbert’s Provisions, Steel N Glory and Bruder Hill will also collaborate on a new team. “We’re hopeful that Burley will try to reclaim their title, but we’re also rooting to see the Berlin Water guys rally and grab their title back,” Chamber Executive Director Larnet St. Amant said. Ocean 98 will emcee and the 50/50 raffle and rubber duck sale, now an annual tradition. Last year’s winner took home more than $600. St. Amant said the bathtub races would also honor Jesse Turner, who died in March. The former Berlin Shoe Box owner was the winningest racer in the history of the Berlin Bathtub Races. “Hopefully, the weather will be good and we have a good turnout,” St. Amant said. “We’ve got it pretty dialed in at this point, and we’re all really looking forward to it.” For more information, visit www.berlinchamber.org.

Comedians return to bring laughter to Princess Royale
WE HAVE
Keno & Racetrack
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (July 7, 2017) Comedians Johnny Watson and Myke Green are back for another season at the Princess Royale’s Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club. The comedy show takes places six nights a week at 9 p.m. until the end of summer. “We have a good time and encourage people to sit up front,” said Watson, who is performing alongside Green for their third summer together at the 91st Street hotel. “There is a lot of audience participation and we like to interact. Don’t worry, we are the butt-of-the-jokes.” The duo will open up about their life experiences, journeys, failed marriages and tell stories about struggles in life during a 90-minute or longer show, which all depends on the audience and guest comedians, Watson said. “I am dysfunctional and edgy,” he added. “There are no taboo topics. Let me put it this way, they won’t leave the show feeling like I am better than them.” After making his debut in 2016, Ken Petrini, who lives in Ocean City during the summer, will be master of ceremonies, emcee and host the jokeoff this year.

“We tried to get rid of him, but being the snake lawyer he is, we couldn’t,” Watson said. “He said, he’d sue me.” Petrini was working on his jokes while Johnny Watson in the hospital and he turned his tragedy into comedy, he added. “He was writing jokes with the tubes still in him,” Watson said. “He’s very committed and it’s a Ken Petrini pleasure to have him.” When guest comedians are not in attendance, the show begins with a joke-off where audience members come on stage to deliver their best joke. Myke Green A prize is given to the winner chosen by audience members as the funniest jokester of the night. The joke-off puts audience members in the limelight and gets the show rolling for the headliners. “Another reason I am back, is I get to play tennis [in Ocean City almost every day] with my tennis mentor, Bill “Jake” Jacobs who has become a father figure to me,” Watson said. “He has made me the tennis player I am today, which is a horrible one. Also, ladies and gentlemen, Jack, not Jake, is banned from the joke-off this year [friends from the Ocean City Tennis Center on 61st Street who come out to support the show every year.]” The shows are geared toward adults with some of its content containing topics on dating and divorce, dysfunctional parents, the military, kids, conversation filth or swearing. “The participating acts are great, and, it’s a night away from home,” Watson said. Watson and Green are no strangers to the comedic world and have both performed in all 50 states for more than a decade. Watson has been performing for 15 years and credits the last six consecutive summers of Princess Royale comedy shows for helping his career. Growing up in a self-described dysfunctional family are the punchlines to many of his jokes including his bi-polar disorder, stint in the military and mother’s cancer battle. “You will find out what has happened to me since last summer,” Watson said. “I will add on to old jokes and add depth.” Green, who has been entertaining audiences for 20 years, took a break and jumped back into the scene two summers ago. “Get out for 90 minutes, leave everything at the door, relax and you See COMEDY Page 59

Country Western Night to benefit wounded soldiers
By Morgan Pilz Intern (July 7, 2017) Star Charities’ 15th annual Country Western Night in the Casino at Ocean Downs’ clubhouse restaurant will take place on Thursday, July 13, beginning at 4:30 p.m. The event will raise money for veterans and wounded soldiers while allowing donors to enjoy food, music and live horse racing. “I’ve been organizing it because I believe in supporting soldiers any way we can,” event Coordinator Anna Foultz said. “We can’t do enough for our soldiers.” The event will include door prizes such as decorated wine bottles. Each bottle was designed by a member of the Star Charities organization. A buffet and horse racing will start at 7 p.m. There will be 10 horse races that evening. Guests who bet on a horse and win will get their picture taken with the horse and jockey. Live entertainment will include cancan dancers from Frontier Town, performances from singer Sharon Florentino, and DJ Deno as the emcee. The buffet will feature chicken, salad, fish, macaroni and cheese, beverages and an assortment of dessert. Participants are encouraged to wear western-themed costumes and/or outfits. “We want to see you look like you came from Texas,” Foultz said. “It’s just fun.”
Tickets cost $26 per person and must be purchased in advance. Tickets will not be sold at the door. Proceeds will go directly toward charities benefiting soldiers. “The money we get when they buy the ticket is for the veterans,” Foultz said. “Every penny goes to veterans. We donate from our hearts because we want to do more for our community. If there is anybody suffering I try to give them money because that’s what we do.” Those interested in participating in the event must be 18 or older. “We hope to have a great turnout to show our support for our dear soldiers and show them how much they mean to us,” Foultz said.
Star Charities is a nonprofit organization founded in 2007 by Foultz and her late husband, Carl, with 17 volunteer staff members. “I live to help the people here,” Foultz said. “That’s my life.” To purchase a ticket or for more information, contact Foultz at 410-641-7667.

ON GUARD
Get to know OCBP’s surf rescue technicians By Kristin Joson Contributing Writer (July 7, 2017) Commonly referred to as lifeguards, the people responsible for your safety on the Ocean City beach are actually known as surf rescue technicians (SRT). Surf rescue technician is the certification level obtained by the men and women in the red bathing suits who watch over the beach in the white stands, once they have successfully completed all testing, training and probation.
We encourage beach patrons to introduce themselves to the SRT (lifeguard) and ask about current beach conditions. As you may know, beach conditions change daily. You never know what you might encounter, so please ask your SRT each day. Once a rookie has earned the title of surf rescue technician you will hear them referred to

OCBP’s guards go through rigorous training Continued from Page 63 Labor Day. The beach patrol tests potential SRTs beginning in August each year and on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend for the next year’s season. If you or someone you know would like to work for the OCBP as a surf rescue technician, there will be preemployment physical skills tests on Saturday, Aug. 5 and seven additional opportunities both in Ocean City and throughout the region. Once a candidate passes the physical skills test they are appointed to a 65-hour, paid ($13.29/hr. and $14.65 after a three-week probation period) Surf Rescue Academy. These tests are for the 2018 summer season. We are looking for physically able, ambitious and responsible men and women who are 16 years of age or older. They must be 17 by the date of employment. For additional pre-employment physical skills evaluation dates and locations, including mid-winter offsite locations, go to the official beach patrol site, www.ococean.com/ocbp. Many people are surprised to know that we do not require past experience or previous certifications to try out; simply because there is no certification that we feel prepares
our candidates to do the job that we require. Therefore, we test every candidate to assure they have the ability to run in soft sand, swim in ocean water, enter and exit the ocean through the surf, move an unconscious person of 150 pounds for 400 meters, hear and locate a whistle blast from 300 meters, and speak and read the English language. To demonstrate these abilities, each candidate must pass a rigorous, physical test consisting of the different phases in succession that include a 300-meter soft sand run in under 65 seconds, 400-meter ocean swim in less than 10 minutes, simulated rescues in the surf with a rescue buoy, victim removal techniques, run-swim-run medley, tower transport (lifeguard stand), holds and releases (escaping from a panicked victim), and lastly an interview with beach patrol Capt. Butch Arbin. It is indeed a long day of physical and mental tests. If you were down at the inlet beach last week you might have seen firsthand our rookies in Surf Rescue Academy II. Once a candidate completes and passes all phases of the test they are appointed, on a probationary basis, to a Surf Rescue Academy. Prior to entering the academy (and each year after), each employee

must pass a drug test. During the academy candidates receive instruction in open water rescues, beach patrol policies and procedures, basic oceanography, use of rescue equipment, first aid, CPR, semaphore communications (a series of signals using flags), radio protocol and physical training consistent with the demands of the job. All phases of Surf Rescue Academy must be completed successfully as determined by the Ocean City Beach Patrol Surf Rescue Association to earn SRT rank and assignment to the beach. Surf Rescue Academy is an eight-day, 65-hour, paid-training program conducted by beach patrol instructors with support from other public safety agencies, followed by three weeks of supervised, on-the-job probation and a Surf Rescue Academy requalifying test where candidates must pass the run and the swim again. Because of the uniqueness of the job’s demands, the Ocean City Beach Patrol does not accept certification or experience with other agencies. All aspects of becoming a SRT, as well as all certifications such as first aid, CPR and AED are completed during surf rescue academy. Now that you know what goes
into the making of a surf rescue technician, you can feel confident when swimming under their watch. Our SRTs want to help you remain safe and enjoy your time in Ocean City. Don’t wait until you need help to meet your “lifeguard.” Make it a point introduce yourself and your family and ask about the current beach conditions. Your lifeguard will also know about the free family activities that are offered in Ocean City. They are happy to answer any questions that you may have. It’s also a good idea to introduce your children. We want them to feel comfortable if they get lost or have any questions. We pride ourselves on being the town’s ambassadors; after all, we are glad you are here. To help us keep you safe, always check in with the surf rescue technician on duty and if you hear a SRT blowing their whistle stop what you are doing and look at the SRT. They may be trying to get your attention because they know or see something that you are unaware of. Most importantly for the safety of you and your family, remember our slogan, “Keep your feet in the sand, until the lifeguard’s in the stand!” This simple tip could save a life, yours or someone you care about.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Cioppino Italian-American fish stew on menu this week By Deborah Lee Walker Contributing Writer (July 7, 2017) Cooking is an art that constantly tests the boundaries of comprehension. The continuous pursuit of knowledge must remain pure if progression is to prevail. The sources are endless so take heed and feast whenever possible. Madeleine Kamman, born in 1931 in Paris (I believe she is still alive), is a chef, restaurateur, cookery teacher and author of seven books, who has spent most of her working life in America bringing the rigors of French technique to American cooks. Kamman’s, “The New Making of a Cook: The Art, Techniques, and Science of Cooking,” is a rich source of culinary mastery. Amazon sells a used copy for $3.25; it is a must for those of discerning palates. Kamman’s philosophy of cooking emphasized the process of thinking through a recipe as opposed to simply replicating a particular dish. Balancing flavor through the judicious use of fat, sugar, acid and salt builds confidence which alludes to creativity. Following is an example where instructions can be misleading. Kamman could not understand why the bouillabaisse she made in the United Sates did not taste like the classic French stew. After much frustration and several attempts, she assumed it was her mistake. Time has a way of prevailing and clarifying the truth. It was when Kamman was teaching in Aix-en-Provence that she finally got her answer. The fish from
the Mediterranean have a different flavor profile than the fish in America. The natural essence of the fish changes the basic components of the stew. This may seem trivial but it highlights the importance of details. Cioppino, an Italian-American fish stew, became quite popular in the late 19th century near the San Francisco area. The roots of the dish and name are from Italian descent. Records of when this dish appeared vary from the Gold Rush days to 1930 according to food historian Jean Anderson. If we continue with the teachings of Chef Kamman, it should be noted that we will gain insight by becoming familiar with the history of cioppino. This fisherman’s stew most likely originated on boats since 20th century fishing vessels did not have refrigeration. As a result, they were limited to canned goods, vegetables, wine and the catch of the day to make their meals. The general consensus of the origin of the word cioppino is that it comes from ciuppin meaning “chopped” which describes the process of making the stew by chopping up various leftovers of the day. The subject of scraps is a clear indication that cioppino is not bound by the rules of exactness. However, this lack of conformity opens the door to much debate. Republicans and democrats have nothing on culinary perfectionists who differ on every possible aspect on one of California’s most famous dishes. Exponents of the various schools of cookery get into a tizzy over whether red or white wine should take precedence. The type of seafood and fish and combination of both is of another See IMPROVISE Page 68

When you think you have heard it all, believe it or not but there are heated discussions on whether or not to include saffron. Cioppino takes on a life of its own based on what the ocean yields and personal preference. Following is a cioppino recipe that can be served at special occasions year-round. Homemade or store bought stock is up to the individual chef. Feel free to improvise the ingredients according to personal preference and the occasion. Enjoy!

Yumi Hogan’s paintings on display at arts center in OC (July 7, 2017) The public is invited to a free First Friday opening reception at the Ocean City Center for the Arts on 94th Street, July 7 from 5-7 p.m. Artwork by Yumi Hogan, Maryland’s First Lady, wife of Gov. Larry Hogan, is featured in the Thaler Gallery in a solo exhibition that will continue through Aug. 26. Hogan’s show, entitled “Nature’s Rhythmic Alliance,” features her abstract landscape paintings produced in Sumi ink on Korean Hanji paper, acrylic and Asian techniques. A native of South Korea, Hogan received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and her MFA from American University. She has had more than 14 solo exhibitions and was part of a 2017 group show at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. “My artwork is my interpretation and abstract vision of the harmony of nature,” Hogan said. “It is my intent to make people feel and understand the breath of nature through my works.” During Gov. Hogan’s year-long cancer treatments, the First Lady interacted with many children affected by pediatric cancer. She is donating proceeds from the sale of her artwork during this show to art therapy programs to help these children. A commemorative exhibition catalog of Hogan’s paintings will be available at the Arts Center for $10. The walls of the Galleria will be filled by juried works during the Beverly Bassford Show, an annual memorial event for Beverly Bassford, a former Art League of Ocean City board member who was passionate about the need for a new art facility, a passion realized in the Ocean City Center for the Arts. After she passed away in 1999, her family established a prize in her name, which grew into this show. Marian Bickerstaff, president of the Art League of Ocean City, will display her artwork in Studio E in July. Originally from Telford, Pennsylvania, she moved to Ocean Pines in 2007, where she paints landscapes, seascapes and other subjects while experimenting with a variety of media. Bickerstaff is also an active photographer and uses many of her photos for her artwork. Katrin Huber, the Art League’s education coordinator, occupies the Spotlight Gallery for the month. A native of Germany, she graduated from the Technical University in Chemnitz with MBA in engineering and worked for the international TV station ProSieben. Huber moved to the United States in 2001, where she returned to her first love, painting and drawing, studying privately and at Salisbury University. Glass artist Jon Rees is the artisan in residence for July. His contemporary and structural use of glass reflects his degrees in architectural engineering and fine arts. Currently he is an adjunct professor in the Glass Department at Salisbury University and an active member of the Glass Art Society.
The Ocean City Center for the Arts at 502 94th Street is the home of the Art League of Ocean City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the visual arts to the community through education, exhibits, scholarship, programs and community art projects. Financial support comes primarily through membership dues from individuals and corporate sponsors. Funding for exhibits is also provided by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, the Worcester County Arts Council, Maryland State Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, organizations dedicated to cultivating a vibrant cultural community where the arts thrive. More information is available at 410-524-9433 or www.artleagueofoceancity.org.

Md. Safe Boating Class offered July 11-13
(July 7, 2017) The Maryland Safe Boating Class will be conducted July 11-13 at the Ocean Pines Library, taught by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary from 6-9 p.m. each night. The Maryland Safe Boating Class and certificate are required for boat
operators born after July 1, 1972, but everyone can benefit from it. Why? In 88 percent of recreational boating fatalities, the operator did not have a nationally approved boater education certificate. Safety on the water is every
boater’s responsibility. Keeping a boat shipshape and knowing what to do – not only in an emergency but also when docking, anchoring and passing another boat – is key to having fun and a giant step toward developing a safety culture on the water. The course is an opportunity to brush up on general boating knowledge and get practical boating insight and advice from Coast Guard Auxiliary instructors. Besides the Maryland boating regulations, learn about safely navigating and piloting Ocean City waters, basic nautical knots, trailering a boat, safety equipment and maintenance. Cost for the course is $15 and in-
cludes all materials. To register, or with any questions, contact Barry Cohen at 410-935-4807 or email at CGAUXOC@gmail.com. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary will teach the state mandated Recreational Safe Boating Course at the Ocean Pines Library, 11107 Cathell Road, Ocean Pines, five times on three consecutive week nights in 2017. The Maryland Safe Boating Class will also be taught twice in a one-day format at the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce, 12320 Ocean Gateway, in West Ocean City. The next class is Saturday, Aug. 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Commentary
Smokers: pick up those butts or else
People who indulge in smoking either are, or should be aware of the health-related consequences. But whether they are or aren’t, no excuse exists for being inconsiderate of others who don’t take kindly to being exposed to whiffs of burning tobacco or the excessive litter many smokers leave behind. It is true that some nonsmokers seem to go a little overboard in their expressions of disgust, as they stand on the sidewalk seemingly unfazed by the hovering cloud of car exhaust while wrinkling their noses at the sight of a burning cigarette several feet away. Even so, that doesn’t give smokers license to be defiant or unthinking jerks, especially when 80 percent of this country’s population doesn’t want to smell cigarettes or see their remnants strewn all over the streets. The latter is one of the worst side effects of the Boardwalk smoking ban, as smokers huddle at street ends and next to buildings for a nicotine interlude. Inexplicably, many of these people believe that flicking their filtered cigarette butts on the ground is perfectly acceptable or, if it isn’t, that’s just too bad. Unfortunately, someone, likely the property owner or business operator, has to clean up that mess daily, and sometimes more often than that. Leaving cigarette butts behind isn’t just discourteous, it’s stupid. Trash receptacles are all around the Boardwalk, and smokers could take care of the problem themselves by pocketing their spent smokes and disposing of them later. Undoubtedly, some would complain that lining their pants pockets with loose tobacco, ashes and tar-laden filters is stinky, dirty and just plain messy. They would be right about that, but that’s also why it’s wrong to make their discards someone else’s problem. If smokers don’t want to be kicked off downtown streets altogether, they had better start cleaning up after themselves and recognize that sympathy for their situation does not exist.

Fireworks and dogs
Fireworks are a wonderful thing, unless you’re a dog, in which case they signal the arrival of the apocalypse, the flipping of the earth’s poles, the complete destabilization of planetary orbits and other forms of impending doom that may be survived only by jumping in the bathtub and crawling up their own quaking little hinies and disappearing. That, at least, is how my dogs react when they are surrounded by the sound of bombs bursting in air. By The flashes of light that Stewart precede these big booms are enough, as they view Dobson bad them thusly: “We’ve gone to code yellow! Run for your lives!” In the meantime, you’re attempting to log some quality horizontal time in your recliner, only to be roused by the sudden presence of breath that could really use a mint, and pair of frog-like eyes about two inches from your own. If Crazy Eddie could talk, he would say, “Follow me if you want to live!” The other one is worse, which is what you would expect of a creature that knows it may be only a rattling window blind to you, but it’s really those double-bass “Jaws” notes that mean something large and hungry is about to eat you. When the first clap of fireworks’ thunder occurs, their eyes seem to swim to the sides of their heads like flounders, as they transmit, via your standard dog telepathy, “Are we dead yet?” A part of me understands the situation. Whenever a transformer blows in the neighborhood, I’ve gone up high enough from my chair for a dog to sneak in under me before gravity dictates that I return. Going up on the transformer explosion and
coming down on a dog, I’d like to point out, is not conducive to logging the aforementioned horizontal time in the recliner. It defies the laws of physics, actually. Contrary to what Einstein, Stephen Hawking and other celebrated great minds will tell you, it turns out that, yes, you can jump twice while suspended in mid-air under certain very specific circumstances. Okay, maybe technically not in “mid-air,” but you touch one whisker of the little beast just below you, and your feet don’t have to be planted on the ground for you to send yourself back up again. This, of course, scares the you-know-what out of the dog, which yelps, scrambles and looks accusingly at you, as if to say, “Hey, I’ve just been through Big Boom Trauma and now your butt turns on me? What’s this world coming to?” But what I don’t get is how a pair of dogs that can affix themselves to the crown molding on the ceiling during a fireworks show remain convinced that the only thing between them and the inevitable demise of the UPS truck by virtue of barking and the now infamous squeaky ball assault is the fence we so inconsiderately erected between them and the street. If I could, I’d like to have a chat with them about it some day. “How is it that you can handle a 10,000pound UPS truck that rumbles by daily, but you head for the bathtub when fireworks explode?” “That’s easy,” they reply. “It’s generally accepted wisdom that UPS trucks are particularly susceptible to the ‘Squeaky ball of Death’ technique. “On the other hand, we don’t know what those big booms are, which means chances are the poles are flipping and the earth is hurtling toward the sun. See? It’s just simple logic.”

(July 7, 2017) Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care has completed Level 4 of the “We Honor Veterans” program, the highest recognition available. It pertains to the specialized care needed by veterans who are facing a life limiting illness. The achievement of Level 4 reflects the organization’s continuing commitment and dedication to delivering to veterans quality end-of-life care that honors their service and its impact on their lives, a hospice spokesperson said. The National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs jointly developed the We Honor Veterans program to empower hospices and other healthcare providers across America to meet the unique needs of seriously ill veterans and their families. “By reaching this milestone, Coastal Hospice proudly stands among those organizations dedicated to honoring our veterans with the respect and dignity they deserve,” Nancy Stewart, coordinator for the We Honor Veterans program at Coastal Hospice, said. By identifying the unique needs of
veterans, Coastal Hospice can accompany and guide veterans and their families who face life-limiting illness toward a more peaceful ending. In cases where there are specific needs related to the veteran’s military service, combat experience or other traumatic events, Coastal Hospice finds tools to help support the veteran patient. “It is time that we step up and acquire the necessary skills and fulfill our mission to serve these men and women with the dignity they deserve,” J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization, said. “The Veterans Administration shares a common goal with our nation’s hospices, and that is to provide the best possible care specifically tailored for veterans,” Thomas Edes, director of the VA’s Home and Community Based Care, said. Founded in 1980, Coastal Hospice is a nonprofit health care organization that cares for individuals facing life limiting conditions but who want to remain as active and engaged as possible. Coastal Hospice cares for patients in their home, nursing home, assisted living facility or at Coastal Hospice at the Lake. The organization serves Wicomico, Worcester, Dorchester and Somerset counties.
Letters to the editor Protect voter data from hackers, not harvest it
This letter was sent to Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen, and Representative Andy Harris and forwarded to Ocean City Today. Editor, I have been a paid election judge for more than 30 years, first while living in Baltimore County and now on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in Worcester County. I have had numerous training sessions for the job prior to each primary or general election. As poll book judge and a chief judge, I know the responsibility of making sure the voter in front of us is the one listed in the poll book. We are told to ask certain openended pertinent questions, not leading questions, to assure ourselves we have the right person. I have never encountered any instance of voter fraud or impersonation in all my years working the polls. The records we are entrusted with, and which we review during an election day, are sacrosanct. I do not approve of sharing this sensitive data, including dates of birth, the last four
digits of SSNs, and other personally identifying information with the Commission appointed by the President. Our first and major thrust as a nation with respect to election security is for the federal government to work with states to ensure data is protected against hackers and will not again be accessed for political purposes by any internal or external actors. States can then work within their own systems without giving up their data to outsiders, thus safeguarding the information. I sincerely hope you push for this type of investigation first and foremost at the federal level not a random harvesting by a federal bureaucracy of sensitive state files. Ann Augustine Berlin
