• Ocean City takes hands-off, gentle approach to enforcing its beach rules (thebanner.com) — A longtime Hyattsville federal retiree is spending this summer working Ocean City's beaches, gently enforcing new rules on canopies, dogs, and other behavior along the shore. His low-key, education-first approach reflects the resort's response to last year's overcrowded "tent cities," aiming to keep access fair for lifeguards and beachgoers while avoiding hefty fines.
