November 1, 2013 The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch Page 9 MARGARITA’S & CRAFT BEERS! AND DON’T FORGET MEXICAN MONDAYS! . . Statement Comes After Gansler Issue Complaints Down After Policy Change FROM PAGE 8 that occur are the result of poor or absent supervision by parents,” the statement reads. “Parents often rent the homes and then disappear from the scene, leaving teenagers to fend for themselves. Many parents allow underage drinking inside the homes, believing this is acceptable as long as the teenagers do not drive.” The town’s June Bug policies have achieved the desired results to a large degree. Last year, for example, there were just eight complaints related to underage renters. By comparison, in 2009 when the policies were implemented, there were 30 complaints. “The diminished number of complaints and reports indicates we are on the right track, but any occurrences that disturb neighboring homeowners and rental families are unacceptable,” the statement reads. “The town has and will continue to strictly enforce the town code relative to peace and good order.” While it is difficult to compare South Bethany’s policies toward June Bugs to those of Ocean City because of the size of the resorts and the sheer numbers of recent high school grads flooding Ocean City each June, it is interesting to compare the general attitudes toward Senior Week. While South Bethany discourages recent high school graduates from upsetting the “peaceful tranquility of the quiet resort,” Ocean City embraces the June Bugs as a staple of the early summer season and many real estate renters target the grads in June. Ocean City has its own stringent policies about underage drinking and drug use, excessive noise and otherwise disruptive behavior, but the resort encourages the graduates to come and further encourages them to take advantage of all of the safe and fun activities provided through its Play it Safe program. In a letter to recent graduates included in the Play it Safe program packet, Mayor Rick Meehan reflects Ocean City’s attitude about June Bugs. “You have passed a major milestone with your recent graduation from high school and now it is time to relax and have some fun, and where better to do that than right here in Ocean City, Maryland,” the letter reads. “Now it is your turn to experience that new-found sense of freedom and all of the fun and excitement of Ocean City. It is a time to reminisce with your friends and to begin to talk about the future as you experience days on the beach and nights out on the Boardwalk.” D E L A W A R E L O T T E R Y G A M E S Live Entertainment Raw Bar Bloody Mary Bar Mexican Monday H A P P Y H O U R S P E C I A L S CRABBY CHEESE DIP IN A BREAD BOWL!
