The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch
August 23, 2013
form talking points responses we have received from you that your group fully supports this federal takeover of your responsibilities is disappointing, to say the least, and actually is in direct conflict with the oath of office each of you swore to when you accepted your position. You have abdicated your responsibility to the taxpayers and the children of this county. The Department of Education in Worcester County has consistently demanded and received one-half of all tax revenues collected in this county. Do you not realize that local, state and federal governments and bureaucracies in this country have spent trillions of dollars that they do not have and are leaving future generations to be saddled with the consequences of their actions? I hereby present to you a copy of the Resolution unanimously passed by last month by the Douglas County Colorado School Board rejecting Common Core. I also hereby submit to you a copy of a recent article which contains a chart prepared by the CATO Institute that graphically reflects the results of unending increases in spending taxpayer money and the corresponding results in education excellence. What does Section 4 of Article 4 of the US Constitution mean to you? I encourage you to contemplate verses 20-21 of Isaiah chapter 5 when you make that decision. Isaiah 5:20-21 New International Version (NIV): Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet SEE NEXT PAGE
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Family/Atlantic Hotel, Park Place Hotel, Smoker’s BBQ Pit, John Lorenz and Royal Plus as well as the Town of Ocean City for the use of beautiful Sunset Park. All of this support made it possible for us to feature Ben Cherry as Blackbeard the Pirate. We were proud to also include educational programs presented by the Delmarva Discovery Center and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. We are looking forward to other projects and events. Visit our website at http://www.ocmuseum.org/ for more information. Thank you one and all. Diane Knuckles Ocean City (The writer is the assistant curator at the Ocean City Life Saving Station Museum.) KISS principal – Keep It Simple Stupid; two, live within your means; and, three, bigger is not always better. Simply stated: Ocean City has obviously outgrown its space. Too many people, Way too many condos and hotels. Why does the City Council want to continue to spend millions of our tax dollars to promote Ocean City and its businesses? We have more than enough visitors. Look what has happened by being bigger: more crime, more city services needed, more traffic congestion, bigger government, more taxes, higher taxes to pay for these services, more bars, more drugs, more alcohol consumption, more undesirables, just to name a few. Bigger is not better, our town has lost its charm. David L. Fox Ocean City
An Inconsistent Policy
Editor: I found it interesting to read that the beach patrol has a "knee-deep policy" for sand holes. This policy apparently does not apply on the beach at 85th Street. After watching two young teen boys digging a chest-deep hole on the beach, several of us became concerned. After speaking with the boys and their mothers had no effect, my neighbor approached the nearby lifeguard. The guard walked over, looked at the hole and the boys continuing to dig, and told them to be sure to fill it in when they were done. He then went back to the guard stand, leaving the boys still digging. Perhaps some of the guards need further education about this policy? Shanna Kahler Marlton,N.J.
Appeal, Charm Lost
Editor: First off let me say I support our current City Council. They are good people whose intentions are well meaning. However, they have lost perspective on what has and is happening to our town. Over the past 47 years, obviously I have seen many changes. The worst is that the town has gotten too big. One needs to step back, out of the box, and look at the big picture, as to what is happening to Ocean City. There are many lessons one learns in life, but three stand out and apply to Ocean City. One, the
Common Core Delusions
Editor: (The following letter was addressed to elected officials in Worcester County.) For the past several months, concerned citizens of your constituencies have attempted to point out to you the massive amounts of information available concerning the nationwide opposition to the implementation of the latest curriculum du jour, Common Core. You have stated that Common Core is a “done deal” and that the “train has left the station.” The uni-
