(The Annapolis Capital- Annapolis, Md.)
GOVERNOR PLANS THE BAY FERRY
Paper Quotes Him As Saying That Negotiations Are Still On For
Route To Eastern Shore
CLAIBORNE IN THE PLAN
Governor Harrington stated recently that he is negotiating for
the establishment of the Claiborne ferry, from Claiborne (on Eastern Shore) to
Annapolis, to connect the state road systems of the Eastern and Western Shores,
says the Democratic Messenger, published in Snow Hill.
He wishes the plan to be tried out during his administration and
believes that because of war conditions its chances of success are particularly
bright. He feels that if there should be any such calamity as the withdrawal of
the steamers of the D.M. & V., or B.C. & A., that the ferry would be an
absolute necessity.
During a recent visit to Worcester by Governor Harrington and
the members of the Maryland Press Association, the establishment of the
Annapolis-Clairborne ferry was very thoroughly discussed, and the Governor was
urged by Senator Orlando Harrison and the newspaper men to put the project into
effect as soon as possible.
The Governor stated that he had given the project much thought
and had gone so far as to get prices on a suitable steamer for the route, but
the high prices asked for steamers, by reason of the war coming on, made it
impossible to establish the ferry with the amount appropriated by the
Legislature in 1916. He said, however, that he intended to take the project up
again at an early date, and we are glad to see that the matter is now being
inquired into.
The Claiborne-Annapolis ferry would connect up the splendid road
systems of the Eastern and Western Shores, and would make a short and quick run
between Washington and Ocean City by automobile. It would also make a much
shorter run from the lower Eastern Shore to Baltimore, as connection could be
made at Annapolis with the electric line.
It is the general opinion that if this ferry is put into
operation, a regular bus line would be established on our fine roads from Snow
Hill to Claiborne, touching Hurlock, Preston, Easton and other points, and that
in addition to passenger traffic a good freight and express business could be
built up by automobile trucks.

(Peninsula Enterprise- Accomac)
Our townsman, M. G. Welly Coard, has been awarded the contract
for building a large and handsome hotel for Mr. A. Parker at Pocomoke City, Md.
Of several competitors for the job his bid was the lowest, thus showing that
while Welly is the prince of builders, he can work cheaper than the builders
even residing in that city. The citizens of Pocomoke will, we predict, before he
has completed the hotel wish to engage his services.

November, 1956 (Time Machine archive)
Probably more than a few Pocomoke City residents were planning a
visit to Salisbury where 1936 menu prices were being featured during the 20th
anniversary celebration at the two English Grills. Menu specials, including all
the trimmings, were 50-cent hotcake and sausage breakfast, 60-cent fried chicken
lunch, and for dinner $1.25 breaded veal cutlet or local baked rock
fish.

Crisfield- Let the rest of the country take its football; the
lower Eastern Shore of Maryland will (and does) take dominoes for its
recreation. Only players in at least 30 games in a month in the new domino
season are eligible, and leagues are being formed for many domino-conscious
sportsmen. Clinton Sterling, a fruit dealer, is leading the field at Crisfield,
with 15 victories and nine defeats.

Va. Senate Panel Backs Repeal of Cohabitation Law
Who knew?
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The thousands of unmarried Virginia couples who are living together would no longer be breaking the law under legislation advanced by a House committee.
Ebbin has said census data shows about 140,000 Virginians are cohabitating. The Alexandria Democrat said that the law hasn't been enforced in a very long time and that Virginia is one of four states that make such living arrangements a crime.
Source:
The House Courts of Justice Committee on Friday unanimously approved Sen. Adam Ebbin's bill repealing Virginia's 136-year-old law against what the state calls "lewd and lascivious cohabitation."
The bill passed in the Senate last month on a 40-0 vote and now faces full House action.

Pocomoke "Save the Youth" Launches Fundraiser
 |
| Save the Youth |
Elaine Bean
POCOMOKE CITY — Buy a dozen doughnuts and help the at-risk youth of Pocomoke City.
That’s what board members of the Save the Youth program in Pocomoke City are hoping, as they launch a Krispy Kreme doughnut fundraiser during February. New event coordinator Miriam Cane came up with the idea to help support the youth program.
After a few years of declining participation by children in the area, Save the Youth is regrouping under a new board and in a new, more welcoming home at 126 Willow St.
New board members Cane, Towan McBride and Terrence Snowden came on board at the January meeting.
Save the Youth was started in 1980 with a mission to “redirect troubled youth from a life of crime and incarceration.” That mission continues today, according to program director Bishop Isaac Jenkins.
MORE STORY....
The Krispy Kreme doughnuts are available at the Save the Youth office or by calling 410-957-1750.
Funds raised will be used for field trips, food, equipment and supplies.
Accomack County/ Abandoned Trailer Fire
Fire companies were called to an abandoned trailer fire at 6107 Lankford Highway- behind Corner Mart in Nelsonia. Atlantic, Bloxom, Parksley, and Tasley responded.
The trailer was fully involved when units arrived at the scene. The evenings fire is under investigation by the Virginia State Police. Officials stated that the owners used the abandoned trailer to block view of their private property from the public.
The reward is now $25,000 and a Tip Line has been set up.
Anyone with information about the arsons and/or individual(s) responsible is encouraged to contact law enforcement via the new Tip Line dedicated to these investigations.

Facebook Hacked; No User Data Compromised (So They Say)
By JOANNA STERN
Facebook has revealed that it was "targeted in a sophisticated attack" by hackers last month -- this not long after Twitter and The New York Times reported that hackers got into their computers.
Facebook does not say specifically when the attack happened, but it does assure users in a blog post that it has found "no evidence that Facebook user data was compromised." That means that Facebook does not believe that usernames or passwords from the site were obtained by the hackers. Facebook does not reveal, however, what the attackers were able to see.
VIDEO: Staying Safe from the Internet in a Bunker and More Online Safety Tips
When reached by ABC News, Facebook declined to comment on who it believes was responsible for the attack.
Facebook's security team has traced the attack to a website that was visited by Facebook employees. The website installed malware on the employees' laptops, even though they were protected by anti-virus software.
"As soon as we discovered the presence of the malware, we remediated all infected machines, informed law enforcement, and began a significant investigation that continues to this day," Facebook says in its blog post.
Given that the attack came through employee laptops, it is possible that the information compromised was simply what was on their personal computers.
RELATED: 10 Tips to Protect Yourself Online
Facebook says the compromise began with a vulnerability in Java, the software used to show much of the content on Web browsers. As a result, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement last month urging computer users to disable the software in browsers.
"We don't know much yet about what was compromised, but Java is used with so many applications the vulnerabilities are designed to take advantage of that," Robert Siciliano, a security expert at the anti-malware firm McAfee, told ABC News. "In this case it was a zero-day vulnerability -- it was a brand-new virus -- that they couldn't protect against."
Facebook's announcement comes after Twitter's announcement on Feb. 1 that 250,000 accounts were compromised in an attack. Twitter required affected users to reset their passwords. The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal's computer systems were infiltrated by Chinese hackers in late January.
Although Facebook user data seems to be safe at this point, this is a good time to make sure you are following basic online safety tips -- reset your passwords regularly, keep your anti-virus software up to date, and stay away from websites that seem questionable.

‘HB 104 - Promoting a More Business Friendly State ’
(Annapolis) -- “If the governor is serious about growing business, let’s start by saving the ones that are here. HB-104 provides for penalty forgiveness on first time offenses of minor violations of the code. After all, the point is to make the corrections, not tax our hard working business owners through a system of petty fines and overregulation” said Delegate Mike McDermott (R- Worcester & Wicomico) when discussing his proposed bill, HB-104.
HB - 104, entitled ‘Occupational Safety and Health - Good Faith Actions by Business Owners - Penalty Forgiveness,’ prevents the Commissioner of Labor from charging a civil penalty, or fine, against an employer who unintentionally violates the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health Act. Penalty forgiveness will only be given to employers for non-serious violations. Under this bill, the employer will still receive a citation regarding the violation, but will not receive a civil penalty when the violation is not willful or repetitive, the violation is not serious, and the employer corrects the violation within the timeframe set in the citation.
“It’s tough being a business owner in Maryland, and it is getting tougher to recruit new businesses into our state. The restrictions imposed on both small businesses and major manufacturing giants bring Red tape that costs business owners precious capital they need to maintain their viability during tough financial times. Penalizing and fining these hard working folks for minor violations that can be immediately corrected does not make us a very business friendly state” concluded Delegate McDermott.
Delegate McDermott’s bill, HB 104, was heard in the Economic Matters Committee on February 12th.

Worcester County State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby: Federal Criminal Complaints Filed Charging 4 Men
 |
| Tony Lamont Mills |
BALTIMORE — Federal criminal complaints filed in the District of Maryland charge four men, initially arrested and charged in Worcester County, Md., with gun and drug violations. The charges follow an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Maryland State Police (MSP), Worcester County Sheriff's Office, the Berlin Police Department and the Ocean City Police Department with the assistance of the Worcester County State's Attorney Office.
Tony Lamont Mills, 32, of Berlin, Md., has been charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin and possession of a firearm by a felon. The second criminal complaint charges Ramon M. Diamos, 47, and Arlon J. Macatangay, 51, both of Jersey City, N.J., and Ricky Ibanga, 38, of Bayonne, N.J., with conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute in excess of 50 grams of crystal methamphetamine.
The State's Attorney for Worcester County Beau Oglesby said, "I applaud the combined efforts of Worcester County Sheriff's Office, the Maryland State Police, the Ocean City Police Department, the Berlin Police Department, ATF and HSI for their investigations in these cases. The adoption of these cases by the United States Attorney's Office demonstrates the strength of the relationship between local and federal authorities as we work together to pursue the eradication of controlled dangerous substances from our streets and to remove the criminals who are armed with illegal firearms from our communities."
According to Mills' criminal complaint, on at least two occasions in August 2012, an undercover police detective conducted two hand to hand purchases of heroin from Mills after meeting Mills in his vehicle. On Aug. 31, 2012, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Mills' residence and discovered Mills hiding in a bedroom closet, where officers also located a loaded .32 caliber revolver and a box of .32 caliber ammunition. During the search, officers also recovered heroin, marijuana and drug packaging material.
Mills faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for possession with intent to distribute heroin and up to life in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Mills also had an initial appearance Feb. 13 in U.S. District Court in Baltimore and is detained.
According to the statement of facts filed in support of the arrest of Diamos, Macatangay and Ibanga, the three were pulled over by a MSP trooper on Route 13, near the Virginia state line for a traffic stop. The trooper learned that Diamos was wanted on a New Jersey warrant and he was subsequently arrested. A clear glass pipe and a small amount of methamphetamine were recovered from Diamos' front pants pocket. During a subsequent search of the car, the trooper discovered a manilla envelope that contained 240 grams of crystal methamphetamine and a receipt in Macatangay's name.
Macatangay and Ibanga were then arrested and additional methamphetamine was recovered from Macatangay's jacket pocket.
Diamos, Macatangay and Ibanga face a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life in prison for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Diamos, Macatangay and Ibanga had an initial appearance Feb. 13 in U.S. District Court in Baltimore and are detained. Ibanga is scheduled for a detention hearing Feb. 15.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael C. Hanlon and Christopher J. Romano.

REWARD Increased and HOT LINE Has Been Set UP
The Accomack County Sheriff’s Office is putting forth funds to increase the reward related to the Accomack County arsons. As of Thursday, persons coming forward with information that leads to an arrest and conviction in these cases could be eligible for a reward of up to $25,000.
To notify the Eastern Shore community about the reward increase and a new Accomack County Arson Tip Line number, state police and the sheriff’s office are also distributing and posting new printed fliers throughout the Eastern Shore. Anyone with information about the arsons and/or individual(s) responsible is encouraged to contact law enforcement via a new Tip Line dedicated to these investigations. Text, call or email at 757-655-1437.
“The sheriff’s office and state police have received an overwhelming response from the public with tips and information, but there are still residents out there who know something about the persons involved in setting the fires,” Accomack County Sheriff Todd Godwin said. “I hope the increase in the reward will help persuade these residents to now come forward. These fires must be stopped – for the safety of our property owners, for the safety of our volunteer firefighters, and for the safety and wellbeing of our close-knit community.”
From Nov. 12, 2012, through Feb. 11, 2013, there have been 48 structure and debris fires intentionally set in Accomack County. On Feb. 13, 2013, it was discovered that someone tried to burn down the Leatherbury United Methodist Church in Onancock, Va. The church building suffered only minor damage. No one, to date, has been injured in any of the arsons.
“As we have stated before, state police are aggressively pursuing all leads related to these arsons,” Capt. T.A. Reibel, Commander of the BCI Chesapeake Field Office. “We are also confident, based on the evidence collected at the scenes, that the majority of the arsons are the work of a collaboration of individuals. The information needed to put a stop to these fires and effect an arrest is out there – we just need the right people to text us, call us or email us with what they know.”
Initially, a $5,000 reward was made available through the International Association of Arson Investigators (http://www.vaiaai.com/). The Sheriff’s Office is allocating the additional $20,000.
MARYLAND STATE POLICE INVESTIGATION
This statement is issued in response to inquiries regarding the status and scope of the Maryland State Police investigation into the shooting that occurred February 12, 2013 in Owings Mills, during a Baltimore Police Academy training exercise.
This criminal investigation is being conducted by the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit, which also conducts criminal investigations into all police shootings involving Maryland state troopers and allied police departments when requested. Homicide Unit investigators are being assisted by State Police investigators from the Criminal Investigation Bureau and crime scene technicians and scientists from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division.
State Police investigators have conducted and are continuing to conduct interviews with persons who were at the shooting scene, as well as anyone who may have information related to what occurred. In addition, evidence collected from the scene will be analyzed and reviewed in an effort to corroborate witness information. State Police investigators are receiving full cooperation from Baltimore Police Department personnel.
The Maryland State Police investigation is being conducted as a criminal investigation with the purpose of determining if a crime occurred and who was responsible for that crime. The Maryland State Police is not conducting an administrative investigation. An administrative investigation examines the adherence of personnel to department policies and procedures.
Maryland State Police investigators will conduct a thorough, detailed, and appropriate criminal investigation. As a result, a prediction of when the criminal investigation will be complete cannot be made. Based on the circumstances known at this point, there is no doubt the criminal investigation will take at least weeks.
When the State Police criminal investigation is complete, it will be forwarded to the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office for review. That office will determine any action taken based on the results of the criminal investigation.
To maintain the integrity of this criminal investigation, the Maryland State Police will not make further public comment or provide developing details as the investigation progresses. This is State Police policy regarding ongoing criminal investigations.

You Didn't Ask But I'm Going To Tell You Anyway...
Current fire investigation news in Accomack County yesterday afternoon and this morning stated that there was an attempted arson at the Leatherbury United Methodist Church in Onancock, Va. The report continues to say that Va. State Police were alerted about the incident shortly before 2 pm on Wednesday. Investigators determined that the incident had occurred within the past 24 hours. Damages are minimal and include the social hall of this small country church.
Key word- Minimal. Minimal compared to what? The Leatherbury United Methodist Church is a small country church, like many in Accomack County. It sits among the trees with a church parking lot being its nearest neighbor. But on Sunday and holidays along with special occasions the tiny country church comes alive with a closely-knit congregation NOW faced with repairs for damages done at the hands of those who needed the satisfaction and enjoyment of creating more harm and fear into a community that has long ago had enough!
The attack on this small quiet church is probably the icing on the cake for most residents of Accomack County. We have exhausted fire departments and investigators. And just like the residents of the community they are frustrated yet, at the sound of the tones from the 911 center are still eager to man the trucks and fight fires, giving it their best as they always have.
Yet, in spite of it all Accomack County continues to allow control burns. Just early this morning fire departments, with the assistance of a Worcester County department, were called to to a rekindle of a control burn from Wednesday afternoon. Under the circumstances this seems mindless and further wastes rescourses of the fire departments and all others that must attend the scene regardless of the time.
Accomack County residents MUST keep in mind that once arrests are made the arson cases will not end. Perhaps the fires will cease but there will be days in court for those charged and the FULL support of the community will be needed. It will then be OUR time to report to court to show our continued support for ALL forces that has fought so diligently within the past months to protect US and our community. A CLEAR message needs to be sent and that can be done simply by showing up at the court house.
Anyone with information about fires is asked to call the Virginia State Police toll-free at 1-800-582-8350 or (757) 424-6820; or call the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office at (757) 787-1131.
There is a $5,000 reward.

Great job !! Just goes to show what great results come from all law agencies working together!

Change Maryland on Offshore Wind Proposal Being Considered in General Assembly
note: Marylanders are already paying more for electricity than the U.S.
average. At nearly 11 cents a kilowatt hour, Marylanders are paying more for
their electricity than residents and businesses in North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and West Virginia according to the U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
Annapolis - Change Maryland Chairman Larry Hogan released the following
statement today as Gov. Martin O'Malley attempted to revise his offshore wind
energy proposal in a key legislative committee today.
"It seems Martin O'Malley's priority is to make electricity and gas more expensive. He is pushing an increase in the gas tax and pushing a wind energy policy that is not cost effective and guarantees that electricity will be more expensive for rate payers.
"At the close of the last session, the governor ignored the budgeting process which resulted in a train wreck. Instead he was out on the steps of the capital, leading wind energy activists in chant that said 'all we re saying is give wind a chance.'
"There are no assurances that this offshore wind proposal will not devolve into crony-capitalism that reward friends of the governor and political donors.
"While there may be political support for offshore wind among narrow special interest groups, 96% of Marylanders are opposed to higher taxes. And make no mistake, the Governor's offshore wind proposal is simply a tax by another name.
"This governor has raised taxes and fees 24 times, taking $2.4 billion out of the economy. Maybe instead of giving wind a chance, it's time to give hard-working families a chance."

‘The Intersection of US 113 and MD 12
Will Finally Receive a Traffic Signal’
(Annapolis) -- “The Maryland Department of Transportation has finally recognized the dire need for a traffic signal at the US 113 MD 12 intersection. Snow Hill residents and travelers can now rest assure that their travels through that area will be much safer.
Delegate McDermott received a letter today from the Maryland Department of Transportation stating its plans of installing a traffic signal at the intersection of Us 113 and MD 12 by mid-summer.
Delegate McDermott received a letter today from the Maryland Department of Transportation stating its plans of installing a traffic signal at the intersection of Us 113 and MD 12 by mid-summer.
This letter was in response to Delegate McDermott’s letter urging the Secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation to take action to remedy the large amount of car accidents occurring at the intersection.
As Delegate McDermott explained in his letter, “For countless years, the citizens of Worcester County and the travelers passing through our area have dealt with the treacherous two lane sections of US Rt. 113. Perhaps the worst area of this terrible section of the highway is located at the intersection of Rt. 12 in Snow Hill. The fatalities and serious injury accidents are astounding.”
