Change Maryland Drives National Messaging

on O'Malley's Record

Annapolis, MD - As Governor Martin O'Malley diverts attention from Maryland again to focus on personal political ambitions, national media platforms are delivering Change Maryland's message of the problems massive tax increases have had on job growth here at home.

O'Malley is headed to Wisconsin today to campaign for the recall effort of Gov. Scott Walker.

"Our governor is travelling around the country attacking other governors who are doing their jobs and who are making the tough decisions," said Change Maryland Chairman Larry Hogan. "O'Malley is trying to spread his failed tax and spend, job-killing strategies across the country."

An article in Reason.com and picked up in Real Clear Politics yesterday by Larry Hogan shows Maryland's tax base fleeing to Virginia and North Carolina,  This was the subject of an earlier interview today with "Power Talk," WQMR, in Ocean City and will be again later today at 1:05 p.m. on "C-4," WBAL in Baltimore.

Meanwhile, the Republican Governor's Association released a 55-second video highlighting Gov. O'Malley's tax-and-spend approach to Governing. The RGA video highlights news articles and this Change Maryland press release about Maryland's shrinking tax base.

Huge Crowd At Crisfield Mud Bog On Sunday

The second mud bog took us to Crisfield on Sunday  May 27.  What a crowd!  Seems like the idea to add more bleachers this season was a most wonderful thought!  What a HUGE crowd of spectators and they seemed to enjoy every minute of the race day. 

Most people know that Crisfield is my most favorite place to race...for alot of reasons....one being that Crisfield has been in my heart for many years.

When you are married to or related to someone that races through the mud and is dedicated to the hobby you know all about the early morning hours and the length of time it takes to prepare for the day "in the pits".  But because I'm nosey getting there early is fine with me.

Probably the greatest suprise on Sunday was knowing the Buddy Ward would be our "sportscaster" for the day!  This was his first time for announcing the races and Buddy did a wonderful job!  Being able to hear when you are in the pits isn't easy and most times, even when paying attention, you just cannot hear.  Thanks Buddy for placing a speaker in the pit area.  Buddy gave us great announcing all day long and  a music selection that was woth listening to! (I despise twangy country music) 

 Be sure to tell Buddy how much you appreciated him taking on  that rather difficult task of announcing ALL day long.

Race preparation is not easy- especially on hot days.  Most trucks begin with a spotless truck.  If you have never washed a muddy truck you have NO idea what washing a vehicle means.  But for those who love the sport is worth the time.... and so is changing tires.......

Donald Bowder drove "Wild Fire" for the second race of the season on Sunday.  This is something completely difference for him to be doing.......all these years he's been inside the engines of the 187 East Performance trucks but never in the drivers seat until a few weeks ago at Gumboro.

I still remember what the Mud Doc told my husband a couple years ago before one  important race...."Drive it like you stole it".   Donald practices what he preaches. 

See bottom video

Top video.  Lee Sturgis in "The Grey Ghost"  If you follow mud racing at all you know this is a most familiar truck.  Lee Sturgis seems to have had 2 great racing events!

Timing for his two runs on Sunday was 3.71  and 3.79.  Video is the 3.79 run.

Legislative Task Force To Do Study On Pit Bull Breed

Maryland pit bull ruling’s ‘profound effects’ to be studied by legislative task force

by John Wagner

Maryland legislative leaders on Wednesday launched a new task force to get a firmer grip on a recent court ruling that declared pit bulls to be “inherently dangerous.”

Under the ruling by the Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, it will be easier to hold owners of pit bulls and cross-bred pit bulls legally resonsbile for bites even if the dog has no history of similar attacks.

The decision, which stemmed from a 2007 attack on a child in Towson, has galvanized pit bull owners — and sympathetic lawmakers — who question why a single breed should be singled out for different treatment under the law.

“This decision will have profound effects on dogs, dog owners, property owners, tenants and landlords,” House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Anne Arundel) and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Cavert) wrote in a letter to Gov. Matin O’Malley (D). “Therefore, we are appointing a Joint Task Force to study the court decision and make possible recommendations.”

Several lawmakers filed bills to effectively overturn the court ruling during the three-day special session this month related to budget issues. The bills were not acted upon, but some lawmakers and O’Malley suggested such legislation might be in order during a possible second special session this summer, devoted primarily to gambling issues.

Wednesday’s letter was vague about the timing of any legislation, saying only that the presiding officers hope for “some resolution and clarity to the issues raised by this decision in the near future.”

The 10-member task force includes members of both the House and Senate and from both political parties.

Sen. Brian E. Frosh (D-Montgomery) and Del. Curtis S. Anderson (D-Baltimore) will serve as co-chairmen.

NASA Visitor Center Offering Venus Transit Viewing

The NASA Visitor Center at the Wallops Flight Facility will be open 5 to 8 p.m., June 5, for the only opportunity until the next century to see the Venus transit of the Sun.

The transit occurs when Venus passes directly between Earth and the sun. Viewers will see Venus as a small dot gliding slowly across our nearest star. Historically, viewed by luminaries like Captain James Cook and even Benjamin Franklin, this rare alignment is how we measured the size of our solar system. The rare event will not occur again until 2117.

During the evening at the Visitor Center, solar viewing glasses will be available to the public to view the transit which begins shortly after 6:09 p.m.

A presentation on the history of viewing the transit and the importance of these observations to our understanding of the solar system will be held at 5:30. The 20-minute presentation will be given by Rob Landis from the Wallops Flight Facility. Landis has been instrumental in supporting the viewing of this transit from the International Space Station. He also will be available to answer questions throughout the event.

In addition, live coverage from NASA TV of the transit will be show in the Visitor Center auditorium. NASA TV coverage will include updates from NASA centers across the country and locations from some of the 148 countries hosting viewing activities.

Images taken of the transit from the International Space Station and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Solar Dynamics Observatory also will be aired with scientists sharing their perspectives and the historical significance of the event.

For more information about Venus Transit worldwide events, safety precautions for viewing, educational content and social media activities, visit: http://venustransit.nasa.gov

Maryland Taxes Spark Largest Exodus of Any State in Region

Maryland Taxes Spark Largest Exodus of Any State in Region

5.30.12

Annapolis, MD - Maryland accounted for the largest migration exodus of any 

state in the region between 2007 and 2010, with a net migration resulting in

nearly 31,000 residents having left the state.  Where did most of them go?
Virginia.  Virginia is now home to 11,455 former Marylanders, taking $390 

million from the tax rolls during this three-year period.

The Old Dominion can claim these former Maryland revenues as part of its 

expanding tax base. Following Virginia, Marylanders opted for North Carolina.

"What happens when you raise taxes and fees 24 times?,"  asked Change
Maryland Chairman Larry Hogan. "You get people voting with their feet
and moving to tax-friendly states."  Since 2007, Governor O'Malley has raised

taxes and fees 24 times, taking an additional $2.4 billion out of the economy

each year according to a Change Maryland analysis based on state government 

reports.

The analysis, from the non-partisan Tax Foundation, examines IRS tax
return data to determine where individuals are filing.

In the region, Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia increased the
number of tax filers.  The District of Columbia and Pennsylvania lost
tax filers, although in these jurisdictions the loss was not nearly as
dramatic as in Maryland.  The District lost just over 1,100, while
Pennsylvania lost just over 8,200.

Nationally, Maryland did not fair much better either.  Maryland joins
high-taxed, rust belt states including New York, California, Michigan,
Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey among states with largest mass exodus
between 2007 and 2010.   Maryland saw the seventh-highest negative net
migration after these states.

In all, Maryland lost $1.7 billion form the tax base due to out
migration during this three year period.

Cal Ripken Burgers???

Oh, I know one of my family members that will want to try these!!

By Jill Rosen
The Baltimore Sun

Already an author and a Hall of Famer, Cal Ripken is adding foodie to his resume.

The Oriole great has launched a line of hamburgers.

According to the Daily Record, Ripken and Roseda Beef, a Baltimore company, have teamed up to sell Ripken Gourmet Burgers at Giant.

Mmmmm. Ripken burgers.

The six-ounce meat patties will be available only in the Maryland, D.C. and Virginia area, the paper says. They cost $9.99 for four.

They have apparently just hit stores. Giant will be donating some of the proceeds to Ripken's Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation.

And, befitting a wholesome guy like Cal, the burgers, the paper says, are "natural, dry-aged Black Angus beef."

John Maroon, Ripken's PR man, told the Daily Record that in Cal's opinion, Roseda makes "the best burger he ever had."

One can only hope some Ripken buns will be next.

Free Fishing Days June 1-3, 2012 In Virginia

Gather the kids and grab your fishin' poles; free fishing days are here again! This year anyone in the Commonwealth can fish without a license June 1-3. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) the agency which regulates freshwater fishing, would like to encourage Virginians to take advantage of this once a year opportunity to fish for free while spending some quality time with friends and family.

"You don't have to travel very far to find fantastic fishing anywhere in Virginia" according to Bob Duncan, Executive Director, VDGIF.

"Fishing is a great way to reconnect with nature, escape the stresses of modern life, and create lasting family memories. I hope everyone will give it a try."

No fishing license of any kind will be required for recreational rod and reel fishing during free fishing days, except for a special trout license in designated stocked trout waters. All fishing regulations, including size, season, catch limits and gear restrictions, will remain in effect.

Want to Fish After the First Weekend in June? Fishing in Virginia is a Bargain!

A Virginia saltwater fishing license costs only $17.50 a year for state residents, while annual freshwater fishing and trout licenses are merely $23.00 each for state residents. Those license fees support valuable fisheries work across the Commonwealth. The VDGIF also offers short term licenses—ideal for visitors—and a variety of combination licenses to benefit anglers.

To purchase a fishing license online – and for freshwater fishing regulations and information on Virginia lakes, rivers, boating access and more, visit http://www.huntfishva.com/.

 For size, season, and catch limits of saltwater species, please go to: http://www.mrc.virginia.gov/regulations/swrecfishingrules.shtm.

The Historic Shipjack Ida May Arrives In Pocomoke This Afternoon

A Different View of the New Pocomoke Restaurant

Pocomoke River

Sunday  May 27, 2012

Here's a totally different look at the restaurant being built between the Delmarva Discovery Center and the Pocomoke River.

Since I can not walk on water and my husband sold our boat and jet skis so  long ago to begin the hobby of mud bogging I have never been able to photograph the restaurant from this angle myself. 

In just a few more weeks the long wait will be over.  Boaters and jet skiers will be able to take advantage of the FREE docking at the new restaurant while enjoying a meal or even just a few drinks either from the deck or inside.  I'm looking forward to it.

A big thank you to Bill and Sue Tull for sending me these photos to share.  Thank you for caring  about Pocomoke City, as many of us do, and enough about my venture (to capture history being made through photos)  and for knowing how important my "mission" is. 

Take Appropriate Measures To Prevent Tick Bites

ACCOMAC, Va.- Accomack County has been labeled an endemic locality for ticks carrying Lyme disease. This means the ticks are prevalent in the area.


Since 2007 there have been 500 positive Lyme disease lab reports for humans in Accomack County.


"It's now normal, we live we coexist with ticks in this population that are now infected with the organism that transmits Lyme disease," said Henry Kurban, director of the Eastern Shore (of Virginia) Health District. "I would just say that people, when they go about their daily routine, should be cautious about taking those measures that are appropriate to prevent tick bites."


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2010, 94 percent of all Lyme disease cases were from 12 U.S. states. Three of the states were Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.

Ecumenical Worship Service for Memorial Day

It was wonderful to see the citizens of Pocomoke City attending the Memorial Day Service that was held in Cypress Park on Monday May 28, 2012 at 9:00 AM.

This was the first Memorial Day Service that I can remember and I certainly hope more will follow.

Thank you to Councilman Rob Clarke for sharing his  photos.

March, 1885

(The Denton Journal)

Frauds on the Road.- The Cambridge Chronicle says: This is the season when the nomadic swindler starts from the cities upon his career of humbuggery. He is near of kin to the common tramp, setting out as soon as spring opens, but sometimes he appears in better garb and even rides in a carriage. This community has been afflicted recently with a number of this people, who style themselves agents for a big firm in New York, and offer to sell any amount of dry goods at prices that so nearly approach the giveaway point as to convince all who know the value of such goods that the agents are frauds of the first water.

They offer to sell, for instance, Warnsutta muslin for 4 cents per yard, and best prints at 3 cents. Everybody knows goods can be bought from honest dealers at no such figures, but the unwary need to be warned of the seductiveness of the bait. The muslin is worth more than double the price asked, at wholesale, while prints are likewise worth double the figure named. As said above, the offer is only a bait, and it is understood systematic frauds are being practiced. A victim is at once struck with the exceedingly low price of the muslin and calico, and then the swindler, having gained an audience, will get in his neat work in disposing of worthless articles. It is always safe to show the door to these kind of people.

　

May, 1932

(The Cumberland Evening Times)

Snow Hill- Unveiling of a monument to the men of Worcester County who died in the World War and dedication of the new draw bridge across the Pocomoke River will mark the Memorial Day ceremonies here next Monday. Delegations from patriotic and military organizations will march to the new bridge at the junction of Washington Street and the Snow Hill-Salisbury Highway where the dedication exercises will take place. A musical program will conclude the program.

　

October, 1921

(Worcester Democrat- Pocomoke City)

All the way from the Maryland-Virginia line in Worcester County to the Maryland-Pennsylvania line in the mountains of Western Maryland on concrete or macadam road is what the people of this good State can now boast of. This was made possible by the opening of the new steel and concrete bridge across the Pocomoke River at this place (Pocomoke City) yesterday. Governor Albert C. Ritchie made the address at the opening ceremonies.

　

August, 1988

An investigation was underway into the collapse of a section of the Pocomoke River Bridge leading into Pocomoke City. A 50-foot portion of the 67-year-old drawbridge collapsed at about 2A.M. on August 17th just after a vehicle had crossed over.



August, 1969

Some available properties being advertised by an Ocean City real estate firm included the following:

Statement From Pocomoke City Officials

Pocomoke City Officials Clarify Proposed Ordinance on Open Porch Furniture

Some of you may have heard that WBOC is reporting that Pocomoke City officials are considering an ordinance that would prohibit certain indoor furnishings from being placed on open porches.  While that statement is accurate, the remainder of their reporting has been very misleading. 

Mayor Bruce Morrison has asked WBOC to issue a clarification via all media outlets where the misinformation has been shared.  This misinformation includes videos taken of certain furnishings in Pocomoke that would not even be considered under the potential ordinance.

First, the ordinance is only being considered.  Second, the ordinance would NOT prohibit what is commonly known as "patio furniture" or outdoor furniture, such as wicker, plastic, wood, or aluminum items.  Rather, certain types of upholstered interior furniture that can be combustible and pose a safety hazard would be prohibited.  The City of Salisbury adopted a similar ordinance in 1999.

A draft of the proposed ordinance has not been completed by the City’s attorney yet, but one may be considered at by the Mayor and City Council in the next few weeks.

There are many other positive and exciting changes occurring in Pocomoke and it is a shame that this misleading report is detracting from the positive.  We are hopeful that WBOC will issue proper clarifications to this story so that Pocomoke City residents will not be unduly concerned about the proposed aesthetic and safety measure. 

Eastern Shore Crime Sweep Named "Spring Sting"

63 warrants closed in "Spring Sting"

EXMORE, Va. (WAVY) - On May 22-23, multiple law enforcement officers executed a crime sweep on the Eastern Shore.

More than 50 officers were involved, including Virginia State Police, Accomack Sheriff’s Office, Northampton County Sheriff’s Office, Eastern Shore Drug Task Force, Exmore Police Department, DEA, Homeland Security Investigations, Cape Charles Police Department and surrounding state, local and federal law enforcement agencies.

“This was a tremendous team effort and we give credit to the cooperation of all agencies involved in making this a successful round-up” said Robert “Bobby” Mathieson, U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The sweep was targeted around fugitives wanted for drugs, sex offender violations, robbery, rape, grand larceny, theft and miscellaneous misdemeanor offenses, and encompassed areas including Northampton and Accomack counties.

More than 63 warrants were closed.
