Ocean City Police Department (Maryland)

The Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) is a full-time-service law enforcement agency providing police services to a population of 7,031 people within 36.4 square miles (94 km2) of the municipality of Ocean City, MD. History The OCPD began its tenure in the summer of 1898 with the appointment of a single officer, Cyrus Purnell. In 1900, the mayor and town council approved the expansion of the department to include two more officers and the appointment of Purnell to the position of chief of police. Because of its summertime population swell, the OCPD historically has hired summertime police to supplement its full-time force. In 1965, with the professionalization of the department, the town's officers were attending an officially sanctioned "police academy." This "academy" had officers attending formal classes twice weekly for three weeks which totaled 18 hours of instruction. In contrast, today's police recruits attend the Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy for 24 weeks with a total of over 800 hours of instruction. Equipment Full time officers employed with the Ocean City Police Department carry the SIG Sauer P226 chambered in .40 S&W. Organization The current chief of police is Raymond J. Austin. Apart from traditional duties of 9-1-1 response and traffic enforcement, the OCPD has other specialized units: Quick Response Team (SWAT) Traffic Safety Unit Bike Unit K-9 Unit Mounted Unit Crisis Negotiation Team Breath Test Operator (Intox) Defensive Tactics Unit Firearms Training Unit Emergency Vehicle Operations Unit Drug Recognition Expert Narcotics/Vice Unit Major Crimes Detectives Unit Domestic Violence Unit Criminal Intelligence Unit Crime Analysis Unit Forensic Services Unit See also List of law enforcement agencies in Maryland References External links Ocean City Police Department official website

Ohev Sholom Talmud Torah Congregation of Olney

Ohev Sholom Talmud Torah Congregation of Olney, commonly known as OSTT, is an Orthodox synagogue located at 18320 Georgia Avenue, in Olney, Maryland, in the United States. History The OSTT was founded in 1995 by fourteen families in the Olney community, holding services in a private home on Georgia Avenue. OSTT started as a branch of Ohev Sholom Talmud Torah Congregation of Washington, D.C., now known as Ohev Sholom - The National Synagogue; and OSTT became independent in 2001–2005. However the formation of the new spin-off congregation resulted in a legal conflict. Eventually a lower US court's decision was overturned by the Appeals Court of the District of Columbia in 2005 that sent the case for arbitration in a beit din. At dispute was the financial control of common assets between the older National Synagogue located in Washington, D.C., and the newer one of the spin-off OSTT congregation located in Olney, that borders on the original "older" neighborhood. By 2014 OSTT was independent and had expanded under the leadership of Rabbi Shaya Milikowsky for ten years. Milikowsky is an alumnus of Ner Israel Yeshiva of Baltimore, Maryland, and a former president of the Association for Jewish Outreach Programs. As noted by historian Adam Ferziger, in the late 1990s Milikowsky led a Jewish outreach training program known as "MAOR" at the Ner Israel Yeshiva in Baltimore and still runs it from OSTT. Affiliations OSTT of Olney works in conjunction with the Friedman Kollel of Metropolitan Washington that is headed by Rabbi Eliezer Lachman. A kollel is an institution devoted to higher Talmudic studies, at times it also serves the Jewish adult education needs in various communities, as in the case of OSTT utilizing the rabbis and scholars at the Friedman Kollel of Metropolitan Washington. Milikowsky's pioneering work in the interplay between rabbinic, synagogue, kollel, Jewish outreach and Jewish communal life has been noted by scholars such as Adam Ferziger. The synagogue works in conjunction with the Jewish Family Center of Northern Montgomery County (or: Center for Jewish Living and Learning of Northern Montgomery County) a Jewish educational outreach organization that is located on adjoining premises. The synagogue headed by Rabbi Shaya Milikowsky, is affiliated with the Rabbinical Council of Greater Washington the main Orthodox kosher supervision agency in the Washington metropolitan area. In addition to the synagogue and kollel, Milikowsky continues to control and head the "MAOR" Orthodox Jewish outreach organization at the same location as the synagogue.

Olmsted Island

Olmsted Island is a small island in the middle of the Potomac River in the U.S. state of Maryland, near Great Falls which is a part of C & O Canal National Historical Park, located across the river from Great Falls Park. It is a part of Potomac, Maryland. Named for Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., the landscape architect and preservationist whose famous father designed New York's Central Park, the small island is a bedrock terrace forest that supports rare, threatened and endangered plant species. The island is very rocky and has steep cliffs that face the river, where it has been eroded over time. It also has trees and vegetation. One might also spy a heron, small lizard or wild goose here. The total area of the island (estimating from calibrated satellite footage) is no more than 0.2 square kilometers. A fenced-in wooden tourist walkway winds along the southern part of the island. For the purpose of protecting the island's natural wildlife, visitors are not allowed to leave the tourist walkway. The tourist walkway eventually ends in a scenic overlook platform (see images 1 and 2) that has a beautiful view of the Great Falls of the Potomac River. "Hurricane Agnes washed away all the woody shrubs and trees in 1972," says R. Harrison Wiegand, a regional ecologist for the Wildlife and Heritage Service of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. "The next big flood will wash them away again. The floods constantly change things. You may see a rare species in one area, then the floods will come through and wash it out. Some other plants will grow there instead. This is one of the most biologically diverse habitats within the whole national park system." The trail leading to Olmsted Island is handicapped accessible and has wheelchair ramps, but dogs are not permitted. References External links Satellite imagery of Olmsted Island on Google Maps. If you look carefully towards the southern end of the island you can see the tourist walkway winding its way and finally ending in the overlook platform at Great Falls.
One Calvert Plaza

One Calvert Plaza, formerly the Continental Trust Company Building, is a historic 16-story, 76 m (249 ft) skyscraper in Baltimore, Maryland. The Beaux-Arts, early modern office building was constructed with steel structural members clad with terra cotta fireproofing and tile-arch floors. Its namesake was chartered in 1898 and instrumental in merging several Baltimore light and gas companies into one citywide system (known as the "Consolidated Gas, Light, Electric Power Company of Baltimore City" until 1955 when it was shortened and renamed the "Baltimore Gas and Electric Company"). It was constructed in 1900–1901 to designs prepared by D.H. Burnham and Company of Chicago and is a survivor of the Great Baltimore Fire of February 1904, that destroyed more than 100 acres (40 ha) in the present downtown financial district. When it was built in 1901, it was then the tallest building in Baltimore, and it kept that title until being surpassed by the iconic Bromo-Seltzer Tower of the Emerson Drug Company on the northeast corner of West Lombard and South Eutaw Streets on the downtown west side. Led by Capt. Isaac Edward Emerson, (1859–1931), the inventor of the stomach remedy and antacid, "Bromo-Seltzer" in 1911. Continental Trust Company Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is within the Baltimore National Heritage Area.

One Charles Center

One Charles Center is a historic office building located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a 23-story aluminium and glass International Style skyscraper designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and constructed in 1962. It was the first modernistic office tower in Baltimore and part of the city's downtown urban renewal movement. The base consists of a concrete-faced podium topped by a paved plaza, with the T-shaped office tower atop. The tower includes metal trim and gray glass. The tower was previously the subject of a design competition. It was completed in 13 months at a cost of $10,350,000. One Charles Center was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It is located next to the Fidelity Building, which was completed in the 1890s. In 1983, the Charles Center stop of the Baltimore Metro Subway opened one block south of the Charles Center complex at the intersection of Baltimore Street and Charles Street. This stop serves as a transportation hub that connects the Metro (extending west to the northwest suburbs of the city and east to Johns Hopkins Hospital) to local bus routes and the Charm City Circulator. An anchor tenant, CSX Corporation, sold and vacated the property in the mid-1990s, leaving the tenancy rate low. This prompted an auction for new ownership in which Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, its mortgage holder, bought One Charles Center in 1993 for $11.5 million. Three years later in 1996, the building was purchased for $6 million by Peter Angelos, a lawyer native to Baltimore and the majority owner of the Baltimore Orioles major league baseball team. After renovations, new tenants moved into the building, including the law offices of Peter Angelos as well as the firm Wright Constable & Skeen. Former tenants of One Charles Center include T. Rowe Price, an investment counsel firm and the Center Club of Baltimore.
