Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – July 23, 2021

Though officially it was because of a light agenda, it’s presumed the Ocean City Mayor and Council canceled its meeting Monday night at least in part due to the Freedom Bus effort ending its tour of the shore at City Hall the same day. Attendees of the tour made it clear they were planning to… Read more »

Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – July 16, 2021

Ocean City is right to seek more than a one-day event commitment from the Spartan race because the 2019 version was largely a daytripper event. Tourism dollars should not be spent on daytripper events that do not result in attendees spending money in the local economy, whether it be in restaurants and bars, retail stores,… Read more »

Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – July 2, 2021

Theologian Jonathan Edwards aptly said, “There are always two sides to every story.” In the case of whether Worcester County should allow carryout drinks to continue to be sold with food purchases at restaurants and bars, there appears to be three sides to consider – support, opposition and indifference.There are those who adamantly support continuing… Read more »

Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – June 25, 2021

It was thought there would be concerns with Worcester County not allowing local bars and restaurants to continue with carryout drinks next month. Though there has not been an outcry from liquor license holders, according to the Board of License Commissioners (BLC), it was expected by some Worcester County would follow the recent state legislation… Read more »

Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – June 18, 2021

Ocean City was thrust into the national spotlight this week, thanks to about 30 seconds of cell phone video capturing a police officer repeatedly knee thrusting an individual on the Boardwalk and another officer in a separate incident using a taser on a man with his hands up. After a week of irresponsible and sensational… Read more »

It’s looking more and more like students returning to school in the fall may not be required to wear masks. Some local private schools, like Worcester Prep, for example, adopted the “restaurant concept” last month following CDC guidance where masks are worn in common areas like hallways but removed when students are seated at desks… Read more »

Twice within the last month, the Worcester County Commissioners spent considerable time talking about the “Read Woke” program the county library offered. The main concern is whether the program, which is funded by Beanstack Black Voices microgrants, crosses a political line for the county library system as a result of a line on its website… Read more »

It’s been compelling to watch the happenings at Town Hall in Berlin of late. Mayor Zack Tyndall appears to be on an island these days over the budget with staff, division heads and council members disagreeing with him on key aspects of his budget, namely the fact his spending plan does not include any salary… Read more »
