JANUARY 8, 2015 BERLIN N BISHOPVILLE N OCEAN CITY N OCEAN PINES N WEST OCEAN CITY N SELBYVILLE FREE Pines infighting continues ahead of golf showdown

By Josh Davis Staff Writer (Jan. 8, 2015) Contention continued among the members of the Ocean Pines Association Board of Directors this week, as a new set of internal memos suggests unrest between several mem- bers. Director Sharyn O’Hare came under fire from board President Dave Stevens after sending an email stating she had heard about support for current course manager Billy Casper Golf, but had not seen any actual letters. “We need the golfers to send those emails to the directors in the next two weeks,” O’Hare wrote. O’Hare added that a special meeting was set for Jan. 9 and that she hoped “we can get the golfers out in force for that meeting … I think this meeting will be informative and important for all the golfers.” Board President Dave Stevens ac- cused O’Hare of “rallying the troops.” JOSH DAVIS/BAYSIDE GAZETTE “This is not a new thing for Sharon John Sauer, 90, is one of two local D-Day survivors who will take part in a flag-raising ceremony honoring veterans at the Ocean Pines Yacht Club on [sic] whether it be golfers or the clubs Saturday, Jan. 10. committee, or any other group, who given the right amount of misinforma- tion will come to a board meeting and ‘I think the people should know’ repeat, one after another, a particular point of view without adding anything to the discussion of the real issue.” Berlin resident John Sauer so I asked the supervisor, ‘What do I the 29th would walk from the hulls di- Stevens said the move gave “the false talks about his harrowing do that I can’t work anymore?’ And he rectly onto the awaiting barges. impression of representing an actual says, ‘if you don’t come in for a couple The first wave of attacks on the majority.” experiences during D-Day days you’re fired.’ So that’s what I Normandy beaches came in the form “They place people who have a differ- did.” of rocket fire.

Raising the alarm based on first impressions and per- ceived, but not necessarily real, problems generally accom- plishes little, because the critical outburst is usually the result of instinct rather than solid information. That’s the case with the Town of Berlin’s proposed pur- chase of the former Tyson poultry plant. The operative word here is “proposed,” because nowhere in the town’s announce- ment was it ever said that this is a done deal. What town officials did say was that they had made a $25,000 down payment that is refundable if it turns out that their vision of turning the plant property into a multi-use park facility isn’t feasible. That most significant aspect of this consideration, obvi- ously, is whether the town can do what it wants to do without burdening residents financially. That’s something that town officials don’t want to do from both a political and practical perspective, considering that it took years to clean up the town’s earlier fiscal mess and get it to the solid financial standing it enjoys today. In the meantime, however, there is no better use for the Tyson property than as a park.
