Maryland Pit Bull Ruling Is Challenged In Federal Court
By Ian DuncanA resident at the low-income Armistead Gardens housing development is suing the state in federal court, asking judges to strike down a recent court ruling that pit bulls are inherently dangerous.
In a complaint filed Wednesday, lawyers for Joseph Weigel argue that he would have to move out of his home at the East Baltimore housing complex if he refuses to give up his dog.
In August, the Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that purebred pit bulls are "inherently dangerous" and that landlords could potentially be strictly liable if a pit bull attacks a person on their property.
After the ruling, Armistead Homes Corp., which manages Armistead Gardens, told residents to get rid of pure and mixed-breed pit bulls or face eviction, according to the suit.
Weigel's suit argues that in the ruling, the appeals court unconstitutionally overrode the property rights of people like Weigel by making them choose between their homes and their pets.
Charles H. Edwards, Weigel's attorney, said that if a restraining order is not issued, Weigel and his dog will be homeless before the end of September. While Weigel is the only resident of the development named in the suit, Edwards said it could apply to as many as 500 dog owners who live there.
"These people are faced with a very hard choice — homelessness or euthanization of their dogs," Edwards said.
Armistead Gardens did not respond to requests for comment on the suit. And the Maryland attorney general's office declined to comment on ongoing litigation.
The original ruling sprang from a 2007 incident in which a young boy was mauled by a pit bull in Towson. When the dog's owner declared bankruptcy, the boy's family took forward a case against the owner's landlord.
In April, the Court of Appeals ruled that both purebred pit bulls and pit bull mixes were inherently dangerous, overturning a previous law that an owner must have known their dog was dangerous in order to be held strictly liable.
Then in August, the appeals court partly walked back the ruling, applying it only to purebred pit bulls. But experts say that might not have changed the effect of the ruling because "pit bull" is not a breed of dog, rather an umbrella term for different breeds.
The General Assembly made an unsuccessful attempt to revise the ruling in the special session, and is expected to try again next year.
Edwards said he knows he has an uphill battle in his challenge.
"It's an incredibly difficult case to win, but you got to do something," he said.
While the court made clear that the ruling was not a ban on pit bulls and that their owners would not have to give up their dogs, Tami Santelli, Maryland director of the Humane Society of the United States, said its effect on renters could be "more insidious".
Stacey Evans, the chairwoman of the animal law section of the Maryland State Bar Association, believes landlords could be held liable even if they did not know a pit bull was on their property.
Animal protection groups are worried that the ruling would lead to tenants abandoning pit bulls in order to stay in their homes.
"Everyone was pretty nervous in April when the case came down," Santelli said.
While the Humane Society estimates the ruling could affect as many as 70,000 dogs in Maryland, Santelli said she had not heard of large numbers of animals being given up to shelters. But she said homeowners and condo associations have contacted the organization to say they are updating policies to ban pit bulls in common areas.

Man Gets Multiple Life Sentences In Child Sex Abuse Case
WESR Radio
A 60-year old man, who was called Pop-Pop by the children in the household, because he was like a grandfather to them, received two life sentences, and four 20-year sentences, for sexual abuse of those same children.
William Roger Clough, Jr. was found guilty in Accomack County Circuit Court in March under a plea agreement, in which he agreed to plead guilty to 4 counts of aggravated sexual battery, one count of forcible sodomy, and one count of object sexual penetration, in exchange for the Commonwealth not pursuing six other similar charges.
Referring to the charges and convictions, defense attorney Patrick Robbins told Judge W. Revell Lewis III, There is no way to sugar coat this, and presented Mr. Clough's minimal education and lack of criminal history, before asking Judge Lewis to sentence Mr. Clough with in the guidelines of 10-20 years.
Deputy Commonwealths Attorney Matthew Brenner, didn't mince words in describing Mr. Clough's actions as crimes of the most reprehensible nature. There is not just one child victim, he continued, there are four. Mr. Brenner noted the tender ages of the four victims, who were 4, 6, 7, and 11 at the time of the offenses, and are all related to Mr. Clough. He went on to say that the children viewed him as a grandfather, and he abused that trust by hurting them physically, and inflicting damage to their psyches that will take many years to mend. He used threats to physically harm them, and in one case told the four-year-old he would kill her mother if she told.
Mr. Brenner said that Mr. Clough deserved the maximum sentence for each crime, and Judge Lewis agreed, stating that grandfathers are supposed to protect children, and the fact that he was a family member made these crimes even worse. He also noted, however, that the system worked, because one of the children told a teacher, who reported it, which led to social services launching an investigation that uncovered the abuse.
Mr. Clough was remanded to jail to await transport to the state penitentiary to begin serving his sentence.

Race Day ~ Crisfield Mud Bog ~ September 1, 2012
If you are familiar with Labor Day tradition in Crisfield then you know nothing gets started until after the famous and fun Crab Derby Parade- not even mud bogging. The races started just a few minutes late but not enough for anyone to notice unless you were paying attention to the clock.
It is estimated that Crisfield mud bog drew at least 1,000 spectators. And at one point the cars were lined along the shoulder of the road waiting to pay admission into the mud bog.That's not bad at all considering the holiday and all the events happening in town. These fans are very dedicated mud bog fans! Much appreciation needs to be given to them for attending race after race and especially for coping with the HOT temperatures on this day. In fact, I believe, it was hotter than HOT.
The most welcomed person of the day had to be the young man walking around the grounds selling lemonade. Hope you bought some of it because it was delicious and just hit the spot on such a hot and humid racing afternoon! The poor guy walked all day offering his wares and when I met up with him later in the day he looked pooped! I certainly hope someone gave him a nice dinner and he got some much needed rest.
As of this post the race results and points have not been posted on the official Crisfield/Gumboro website. So until I have that information here are a couple of videos and some photos from the mud bug along with what information I have. If you have any info you would like to share email me. My email address is listed on this blog.

Pocomoke Hockey Team Warriors Support "Wounded Warriors"
Written by
Shawn NissonStaff Writer
DelmarvaNow
POCOMOKE — Two Warrior squads will clash on the field this Friday in an effort to support and honor those who have served our country in battle. Easton’s field hockey team will travel to take on Pocomoke, with junior varsity scheduled for a 4 p.m. start with the varsity game following that at 5:30, in a contest where the proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warriors Project.
“We wanted to be patriotic,” Susan Pusey, Pocomoke’s head coach said. “We wanted to recognize and honor the military for all that they are doing for our country.”
There will be a baked goods sale to raise funds and the team will also be selling flags with yellow ribbons that will line the fences around the field. Also as a tribute all military personnel will be able to attend the game at no cost.
“We just thought it would be a good thing to do,” Pusey said. “We’re playing Easton, who are the Warriors as well, and we’re just trying to raise some money for the Wounded Warriors Project.”
According to the Wounded Warriors Project website, the groups mission is to “honor and empower wounded warriors.” The project hopes to raise awareness and to get the general public involved in helping to aid the needs of injured service members.
Pusey said that she has always tried to instil a sense of gratitude and the need to perform services for others in her student athletes.
“I always try to express to the kids the need to give back,” Pusey said. “We’re trying to build character in these kids to make them realize that people do a lot of things for all of us and we certainly should give back our time and appreciation to our country. Things are not the best now a days and we certainly need to support our military.”
While this is the first event of it’s kind at Pocomoke, the school has been very successful at putting on events like this in the past. Pusey said that success is a testament to the amount of support they get from both the school and the surrounding community.
“It’s a really good thing that our school has been doing,” Pusey said. “It shows a lot about Pocomoke high school and our kids that they’re willing to participate, and the faculty and the administration have been fantastic in supporting these events as well.”

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:
John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe ." -- Thomas Jefferson
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
