August 16, 2013 FROM PAGE 44 about and dropped. It’s a small step but Ocean City should ban smoking on the beach, it’s a health hazard and we all know it. Other beach resorts have done it, surely it’s not out of the realm of possibilities for us to do it. Then there was the baggy pants issue that was discussed and nothing really came of that either. If another resort town was capable of passing that law why not us? We talk about things like this and nothing ever gets done. Are we so afraid of offending these groups of people that we just put up with anything?

It’s a whole new world out there. But the changes in our town are not in our best interest, and we need to start doing something about it instead of burying our heads in the sand.

Beach Patrol Saluted
Editor: I want to take a moment to comment on an event that happened on July 18. My daughter and granddaughter had come down to OC to vacation with me and we had just arrived at the beach on 143rd Street and been there about 20 minutes. My granddaughter had a seizure while in the shallows of the ocean. My daughter was with her and yelled for the lifeguards. Within 30 seconds, three guards were there sizing the situation up and handling it competently. The beach patrol arrived within three minutes and the paramedics arrived within seven to 10 minutes.
