LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FROM PAGE 43 tion to the residents and visitors of Ocean City the hidden cost of public service in Ocean City. I was on vacation in Ocean City in July 2013, when I began to experience abdominal pains. This event occurred about midnight. I asked my wife to drive me to a clinic on Coastal Highway. We were unable to find a clinic open at that hour of the night, so we stopped to ask a police officer if he knew of a clinic open. The officer checked and stated that they were all closed and he called an ambulance for me and I was transported to the hospital, which was 13 miles away. A few months later, I received a bill from the Town of Ocean City for $796 for a 13-mile trip to the hospital. At no time did the police or EMS inform me that I was taking a $61-amile ride to the hospital. My wife could have driven me there for a lot less. Now, I understand that in certain life-threatening situations an ambulance is necessary, but in my case the EMT should have informed me that there was a cost associated with the service. With the high amount of tax revenue generated by this resort town, hotel tax, city tax, county tax, state tax, sales tax and property tax, no person should expect to pay for public service. If I called the police to file a report, should I expect to pay for this service? If I called the fire department to put out a fire, should I expect to pay for this service? If I was in distress in the ocean, do I have to pay the lifeguard to save me? When does it end? Thomas Schindler Metuchen, N.J.

Benefit Run A Success
Editor: The First Annual Decatur Way 5K was run last Saturday under a beautiful blue sky and cool morning. One hundred thirty-plus students, parents, teachers and recreational runners took to the course to see which class would rule the school, allowing them bragging rights and a donation to their class fund. The senior class came out victorious followed by the junior class, freshman class and then the sophomore class. The Stephen Decatur Athletic Boosters Executive Board would like to thank the following businesses that made our first event a most successful and fun one: OC TriRunning, Maryland Coast Dispatch, A Bagel and..., Dunkin Donuts of the Eastern Shore, Food Lion of Berlin, Ocean Pines and Ocean City, Action Island, DJ BK, SDHS administration and teachers and the many parent/student volunteers who helped throughout the event. We look forward to an even bigger event next year and we invite the community to come run with us, The Decatur Way. Kim Holloway Berlin (The writer is the president of the SDHS Athletic Boosters Executive Board.)
