Hurricane Recovery on the Eastern Shore ~ Message From Rep. Scott Rigell
Dear Friend,
Over the past week, I have been encouraged by Hampton Roads’ preparation for – and recovery from – the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Local, state, and federal government officials worked together, alongside the volunteer work of charitable organizations, to ensure that our region was prepared for the storm and had the necessary resources to clean up and restore our communities.
Preparation efforts on the Eastern Shore were also comprehensive and well-coordinated. However, Sandy was an extremely powerful storm and I remain concerned about the ongoing recovery for our friends and neighbors in this area. These communities have experienced significant property damage and some families have lost many of their belongings and valuables. On Friday, I observed the storm’s impact first-hand in the towns of Chincoteague and Saxis. Photos can be found on my Facebook page here.
In Chincoteague, Saxis, and other communities, winds and storm surges caused trees to fall and homes to flood. After speaking with local officials and citizens, it is clear the devastation they have experienced. At the same time, I am amazed at their resilience and the willingness of neighbors to step up and help one another in their time of need. This is truly the American spirit on display.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to those on the Eastern Shore – and our fellow Americans on the East Coast – as they continue to recover from this devastating hurricane. My office is working with state and local officials to ensure a quick and efficient recovery in the 2nd district.
We are also here to assist you in helping to access relief and recovery services. Please contact us at 757-789-5172 (Eastern Shore) or at 757-687-8290 (Virginia Beach) if we can help in any way.
Are you looking to help as well? Here are some relief organizations assisting those affected by Hurricane Sandy:

- Red Cross – www.redcross.org, call 1-800-Red-Cross or text the word "Redcross" to 90999 to make a $10 donation
- Salvation Army – www.salvationarmyusa.org
- Samaritan’s Purse – Visit their website here to volunteer
- Save the Children – www.savethechildren.org
- World Vision – www.worldvision.org
Mindful that I work for you, I remain
Yours in Freedom,
Scott

TIME MACHINE ... An 1834 Heartfelt Appeal From Snow Hill.
(Reader-friendly viewing of newspaper archives material)
December, 1834
(The Mail- Hagers-Town, Md) (spelling correct from this era)
TO THE PEOPLE OF MARYLAND
Fellow Citizens:- The people of Snow Hill have made it our duty to address in
behalf of the sorely scourged inhabitants of their unfortunate Village.
The public press will have already apprised many of you that in the night of
the 24th ult. (ult.- in or of the month preceding the present one) a
considerable portion of the Town, the center of its business, its most valuable
section, was consumed by fire.- It's hotels, its public offices, and all, save
two, of its houses of merchandise are in ashes. Notwithstanding 100 acres of
land are included by its limits, little of the hum of business can now be heard
within them, and few and far between, are the shops of its handicraftsmen. If we
seek the houses in which but a few days since, cheerful labor earned honest
bread or those who heretofore supplied the town and its neighborhood, with the
necessities, the comforts and elegancies of life, heaps of ashes tell all the
tale. Instead of the industry, the commercial prosperity, the domestic
happiness, to be seen two weeks ago, we now gaze upon solitary chimneys and
ruined walls. It looks as though the curse of the Almighty had descended in
fire. That awful agent has consumed more than ninety houses, of which seventeen
were dwelling houses, and has been extinguished forever in fifty-six
chimneys.
Where are the men, women and children who lately thronged the site of these
ruins, and were then prosperous and happy? Some are sheltered, clothed and fed
by charity. Some, whose circumstances two weeks since, were comfortable, must
begin the labors of life afresh; younger persons mourn over blighted prospects-
older ones, that the results of a life of toil, were consumed in one hour.
Not for ourselves, but for others, would we excite your sympathies
fellow-citizens, we would not exaggerate, nor give a single color of the
picture, for the accuracy of which our community would not vouch.- We can not
estimate our loss in dollars and cents; but in proportion to the whole value of
property in the Village, the loss is enormous. We leave you with a statement of
simple facts.
The residences, the food, the clothes of children and parents, of young and
old, of males and females; the goods of merchants in large amounts of value; the
libraries and offices of professional men; the shops, the tools, the working
materials of mechanics, are gone forever. Without the aid of our fellow
citizens, Snow Hill must continue a heap of ruins, more painful to the eye of
the beholder, than any similar sight in Maryland or perhaps in the United
States.
We cannot conclude this paper without alluding in this public way, to a City
of a sister State. In glowing terms, for our hearts indite them, we would thank
Philadelphia for what she had done for us.- The prompt and generous manner in
which she has come to our relief, would alone entitle her to her very
significant name.
By the order of the Committee appointed by the people of Snow Hill to
solicit, and receive for, and distribute to the sufferers by the late fire at
that place, donations which may be received from abroad.
John H. Martin, Ch'n.
Irving Spence, Sec'y.
Snow Hill, Dec. 8, 1834

(The Salisbury Times)
TEN NEW SIRENS BLOW AT WORCESTER POSTS
Berlin, June 29.- John I. Timmons, senior air raid warden for Worcester
County, yesterday announced that ten new air raid alarm sirens have been
purchased by the Worcester County Board Of Commissioners for county towns.
Four of the new sirens have been received and erected in Whaleysville,
Newark, Girdletree and Stockton, Timmons said. The other six will be placed in
Ocean City, Berlin, Snow Hill and Pocomoke City, with Berlin and Snow Hill
receiving two alarms each.
May, 1902
(The Denton Journal)
The Citizens National Bank of Pocomoke City will soon be ready for business.
June, 1886
(The Daily News- Frederick, Md)
A Town Overrun by Burglars
Princess Anne, Md., June 1.- A successful entrance was made into the store of
P.M. Smith, dealer in ready-made clothing and notions on Main Street, this
place, some time Sunday night by a burglar, who carried off shirts, collars and
clothing, the amount which can not be ascertained. The thief also carried off
about 25 cents in money and 75 cents in postage stamps. The entrance was made by
boring around the lock on the front door. Many attempts of the same kind have
been made to break into private houses of late, and public indignation is
effectually aroused. A vigilance committee will be formed to patrol the town at
night for the protection of its citizens and property.
October, 1907
(The Denton Journal)
According to the Snow Hill Messenger, Eastern Shore peach growing started
about 90 years ago when seeds from Persia were planted on Eden River, Talbot
County. One tree flourished and brought forth luscious fruit so bountifully that
it was visited by members of Congress and farmers from all around.
October,1901
(The Daily News- Frederick, Md.)
Wasps Broke Up Revival
The falling of a wasp nest in the Methodist church at Remsennes, near
Greenbackville on the Virginia-Maryland line in Accomac County, Va., one night
recently caused a panic and broke up a revival in progress. The nest fell from
the ceiling into the center of the congregation, from which point hundreds of
insects swarmed all over the church, stinging many persons. Rev. J.F. Anderson
was forced to vacate the pulpit by way of a window, and the services were
abruptly closed, the wasps being left in possession of the church.

~Only One Man Can Move Us Forward~
Only One Man Can Move Us Forward
by Delegate Mike McDermott
Our country has often been divided over issues, and it falls to the president to protect the union and draw us together. Unfortunately, this is not in the job description for a community organizer. On the contrary, they utilize division to further their cause. We have been witness to the president pitting one group of Americans against another for perceived political gain. He is the great chameleon.
If a president cannot unite us, he cannot move us forward. The map he has been using was discredited long ago, and, as our economy circles the drain, I hear him proclaim, “forward!”
Perhaps we need to identify what “forward” looks like Mr. President. Economic growth means at least 250,000 plus private sector jobs added each month. It means our enemies respecting or fearing us while our allies know they can count on us. Forward does not include surrendering our strategic advantage as the only true super power so we can be like everybody else. Forward speech does not include race baiting, gender splitting, age division, or rich versus poor.
In fact, none of the administration's policies have done anything to move our economy, our people, or our standing in the world “forward”.
We need a uniter and someone who understands that “forward” is a direction and not just a campaign slogan. America needs the leadership of Mitt Romney.
As a governor who faced a legislature composed of 87% Democrats, Romney’s skill set flourished. He understands that great sounding words and soaring rhetoric do not create jobs and growth. He has rolled up his sleeves and saved many a company because he understands business in America.
Romney will not apologize for America being an exceptional country. On the contrary, he will champion freedom and hold out the lamp of liberty to a world that looks to our shores for hope. He will not diminish America, he will raise up her standard.
Romney will not point to himself and you will scarce hear him use the word “I” when he speaks to us from the White House. America’s daughters and sons will find jobs when they graduate as our economy grows and businesses invest in a defined, stable future.
Romney will not leave our troops behind on a battlefield and he will not ask our enemies permission to protect our people or our interests abroad. He understands that Marines still afix bayonets and soldiers still ride horses in Afghanistan. He will keep America strong so that liberty will always have a voice in this world.
There is one man that will move us forward, and his name is Mitt Romney.

Heroin Investigations Lead To Arrests
 |
| Lauren Ann Johnson |
Over the last several months, members of the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team and the Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit have been conducting several heroin investigations in the Northern part of Worcester County, Maryland, specifically the Berlin and Ocean City area. During the course of these investigations, an individual identified as David Sturgill, age 33, of Berlin, Maryland was identified as a source of heroin.
On October 25, 2012, surveillance of Sturgill indicated that
 |
| D. Sturgill |
he was traveling to the Baltimore area accompanied by a female, later identified as Lauren Ann Johnson, age 24, of Ocean City, Maryland. On October 26, 2012, search and seizure warrant for Sturgill's vehicle, person and residence was authored by the Criminal Enforcement Team. Members of the Criminal Enforcement Team, Maryland State Police, Worcester County Sheriff's Office, and the Berlin Police Department, conducted a traffic stop of Sturgill’s vehicle in order to execute this search and seizure warrant as Sturgill entered into Worcester County near the intersection of Libertytown Road and Ninepin Branch Road in Berlin, MD. Sturgill and Johnson were taken into custody without incident. As a result of this search and seizure warrant being executed on Sturgill and his vehicle, investigators subsequently located and seized the following items:
· 105 individually wrapped bags of heroin
· Digital scale
· Various items of paraphernalia
· Sturgill's 2006 Ford F-150 pickup truck
At approximately, 1740 hours, law enforcement executed the search and seizure warrant on Sturgill's residence located in Berlin, Maryland. This search and seizure warrant was executed without incident and resulted in the seizure of the following items:
· Various items of paraphernalia
Sturgill and Johnson were both charged with the following offenses:
· Possession of Heroin
· Possession with intent to distribute Heroin
· Possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia (hypodermic syringe)
· Possession of controlled Paraphernalia (hypodermic syringe)
This investigation was a success due to the combined efforts of the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team, the Ocean City Police Department Narcotics Unit and the DEA Salisbury Post of Duty and Baltimore Field Division. During the execution of the search and seizure warrants the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team was assisted by the Maryland State Police, Worcester County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division, Worcester County State's Attorney's Office, A.T.F. and the Berlin Police Department. Sturgill and Johnson were transported to the Worcester County District Court Commissioners Office for an initial appearance. Sturgill was subsequently committed to the Worcester County Jail on a $10,000.00 bond and Johnson was committed on a $15,000.00 bond.

Hurricane Sandy Visits Pocomoke City
Everyone will remember for quite a long time where they were and what they were doing just a few days before the Halloween celebrations in 2012. I don't remember ever witnessing anything quite like this storm and it is the only the second time in my life I have felt total fear and helplessness.
The photos below were sent to me by Rob and Donna Clarke, who on the morning of Monday October 29, 2012 until around noon, ventured outside and around Pocomoke City to take these.
Notice this beautiful tree just beginning to turn into its fall colors. I wonder what happened to this tree during the storm and if the power lines were torn down by the branches in the wind.
