Help For Veterans!

MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES “OPERATION HIRE MARYLAND” INITIATIVE

Operation Hire Maryland to create a veteran-friendly business network

July 1, 2015 (Annapolis, MD) -- Under the leadership of Governor Larry Hogan, Secretary George Owings, of the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) announced today the official launch of Operation Hire Maryland, an ongoing program designed to support employers as they establish or expand upon veteran hiring and retention programs.  Through the collaborative efforts of MDVA, State and Local Government, the Operation Hire Work Group, and Maryland employers, Operation Hire Maryland is building a veteran-friendly business network to share best practices and proven methods for recruitment and retention of veterans in the civilian work place. 

Following a successful employer training event held on June 4, employers were given the opportunity to begin registering to participate in Operation Hire Maryland.  As of July 1, over 25 employers are registered, representing State and Local Government, as well as private sector business.  Over 1,000 jobs for Maryland veterans, as well as for members of the National Guard and Reserve Components, are pledged for the coming fiscal year.  More registrations and pledges are expected in the coming months. 

“Maryland is home to over 430,000 veterans who have honorably served this great nation and state,” said Governor Larry Hogan.  “As our military men and women transition to a career in the civilian work place it makes good sense to inform Maryland employers on the best ways to recruit them.  Operation Hire Maryland is responding to the needs of employers and is investing in the future of our veterans and families.”

“On June 4, in a room full of employers, I was honored to designate Operation Hire Maryland as an ongoing program,” said MDVA Secretary George Owings.  “This is the start of a business network to help more of our veterans gain employment, start a new career, and support their successful transition to civilian life.  We are proud to be working with our state and local partners, as well as our business community on this worthy initiative.”

“Operation Hire Maryland, is a great opportunity for our veterans to work with employers that are looking for someone who is motivated, goal orientated and drug free,” said Maj. Gen. Linda L. Singh, the adjutant general of Maryland. “Veterans with their vast experience, bring a diversity of capabilities and ideas to the cooperate world that make them valuable employees.”  

  

Businesses and government agencies may register to participate in Operation Hire Maryland on a rolling basis.  Participation is free.  Employers are asked to pledge a specific number of veteran hires and to attend at least one Operation Hire Maryland training or networking event in the next year.  Hires will be tracked and employers will be recognized for their efforts to recruit and support veterans in the civilian work place.  Information on Operation Hire Maryland can be found at the MDVA website,veterans.maryland.gov, or by contacting Dana Hendrickson, Director of Outreach, MDVA, 410-260-3842 ordana.hendrickson@maryland.gov

Lower Eastern Shore's First National Fast Food Restaurant!

The year 1963 marked the opening of the first national chain fast food restaurant on the lower Eastern Shore, possibly the first on the Delmarva Peninsula.

Here's their menu:

It wasn't a name that would be familiar today for fast food but later in its history this company became associated with one of today's popular fast food restaurants. 

Driving north into Salisbury on route 13 they were on the right side of the highway across from the college. 

Anyone remember the name?

POCOMOKE CITY SEARCHING FOR NEW POLICE CHIEF

In Local News, Worcester County by Mari Lou July 2, 2015

The search is on in Pocomoke for a new police chief. City officials have named 15 year Pocomoke Police Lt Brian Craven as the interim chief, but are not commenting further on the release of Chief Kelvin Sewell on Wednesday. Jonathan Taylor at Lower Eastern Shore News reports that Sewell was offered the chance to resign, but when he refused – he was fired. Pocomoke’s crime rate is currently at a 20 year all time low.

(See WBOC.com for additional coverage of the Chief Sewell story.)

CHIEF SEWELL'S SUDDEN DEPARTURE FROM OFFICE..

Wednesday, July 1, 2015

(Courtesy: WBOC.COM)

POCOMOKE CITY, Md. -- The Pocomoke City Police

Department is without a leader for the time being.

Pocomoke Mayor Bruce Morrison confirmed for WBOC 

that police chief Kelvin Sewell is no longer with the 

department.

Morrison would not specify a reason for Sewell's 

departure but did say it is a personnel matter.

In an exclusive statement made to WBOC, former chief 

Sewell says the mayor and city council voted to 

terminate his position.

Sewell says that decision came Monday night during a 

closed session meeting.

A meeting that Rev. Ronnie White of Pocomoke's House

of Love church says should not have happened without 

the public's knowledge.

"None of the citizens were informed. We never knew that

 this was going to happen. It was just like we were left

 out of the loop," said White.

The community says it's not backing down from finding 

out the truth behind Sewell's termination.

Several community leaders including Rev. White and 

Rev. James Jones are holding a town meeting Thursday

evening at 6:30pm at New Macedonia Baptist Church. 

There, the community will discuss the next steps toward 

finding answers for Sewell's termination.

Jones says the work Sewell has done for the city since 

he took office in 2010 is proof he is still needed in 

Pocomoke.

"I've done my homework as late as today. Over the last 

20 years, we are at an all time low in crime, drug 

activity," said Jones. "I mean it still happens, but it's

almost nonexistent compared to the way it's been in the

past."

Some locals including Eremine Beckwith say she's 

fearful of what Pocomoke might become without 

someone like Sewell leading by example.

"I'm fearing that we're going to end up being like down

 south. As far as police brutality, as far as the young

 black men. I fear for their life. [Sewell] has been keeping

 the town peaceful," said Beckwith.

Sewell says he does not know who will replace as police 

chief or who will be assigned as the interim police chief.

In an exclusive statement WBOC obtained, Sewell says

that he has loved protecting and serving the city of 

Pocomoke, working with the community and the city's 

youth during his tenure as chief.

Although Sewell could not comment further as to why

he's no longer with the department, he wishes the best

for the city.

MEDIA REPORTS CHIEF SEWELL'S DEPARTURE..

Local news media Wednesday evening reported Chief Kelvin Sewell's immediate departure from the Pocomoke City Police Department. Other details were sketchy.

"Friendliest Town On The Eastern Shore."  Our tradition runs deep.  Excerpt from a letter to the editor from a visitor to Newtown, (former name of Pocomoke City) published in the Baltimore Sun, April 28,1847.

This place (Newtown) is a pretty snug little village, containing about 500 clever and hospitable inhabitants; it has good wide streets, quite clear of that "eye sore," known mostly over the Peninsula by the name of "deep sand"; the houses, though built of frame, are generally built substantially and with some discretion and taste; there are two neat, new, and quite handsome frame churches in it; as for the merchants of the place, suffice it to state that they are very clever and hospitable.  F. Mezick, Esq., the landlord with whom I stopped, and his very obliging and jolly assistant, are richly deserving of a passing notice, for the good treatment and the extension of the many civilities to "the stranger."

Construction on McCready ER expansion starts

Work on an expanded emergency room at Edward W. McCready Memorial Hospital will start in earnest with the new year.

Heavy equiprment rolled into place following a formal groundbreaking held Dec. 7.

The $252,000 expansion — which has been in the works for nearly two years — will include a chest pain evaluation unit and education center. The final regulatory hurdle was crossed late last month when the Crisfield board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved a variance for the 1,400 sq. ft. addition.

COMPLAIN OF RAILROADS

Eastern Shore Residents Say They Are Denied Proper Facilities

Pocomoke City, Md., July 27-  A petition signed by 1,000 residents of the Eastern Shore, protesting against the facilities furnished by The Baltimore, Chesapeake, And Atlantic Railroad Company and The Maryland, Virginia, And Delaware Railway Company, in both freight and passenger service between Baltimore and Eastern Shore points, has been filed with the public service commission.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has so arranged its time table that the people of the Eastern Shore, as far down as Crisfield, can go to Philadelphia and return in one day, with time to shop in the Quaker City, while the time tables of Baltimore are so arranged that  a trip to Baltimore and return in one day is almost impossible.

Thus it is said that Eastern Shore trade is diverted from Baltimore to Philadelphia. 


Who remembers Tru-Ade?



1957 Tru-Ade Ad..

(Text courtesy blog.retroplanet.com)

The beverage sold as Tru-Ade was actually a pasteurized, non-carbonated soft drink. It was made with concentrated fruit juice and was available in both orange and grape flavor. It was bottled in Washington, DC from 1942 to 1969, although they were headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. In 1947, after the sugar shortages of WWII were behind them, the management at Tru-Ade, Inc. decided to get into the cup vending business. They designed and had manufactured a vendor called the Tru-Ade Cup Dispenser. Tru-Ade seems to have gone out of business some time in the 1970s.

Tru-Ade is no longer available as far as I can determine, but there are an awful lot of people who’ve left posts all over the Internet asking where they can find some. It must have been a delicious drink!

Maryland Cooking

(Quoting a New York Times correspondent.)

In Maryland one of the roads to Paradise begins in the kitchen and ends in the dining-room.  Nowhere in the world do people as a class live better.  They are born to good eating, and the cultivation of the appetite becomes a second nature.   

The choices things of life flourish here with a luxuriance that few, if any sections of the country can match.

... Cantaloupe, oysters, soft crabs, trout, rail birds, luscious peaches just plucked, and an indescribable watermelon fresh from the vine!  

Good eating is so infectious in the State that it pervades politics.  In one of the counties, Wicomico, the campaign is invariably opened in the spring by a great turtle dinner.  All the candidates and politicians and district leaders come together in a love feast of turtle and politics.  They sit around on stools and fences eating and talking and laughing booms and courting friendships.  The affair lasts an entire day, and after it is over the candidates proceed to slaughter one another instead of turtle.  Oyster roasts are features of all  large campaigns.  Several dozen bushels of oysters are roasted in one great fire and every man, equipped with an oyster knife, helps himself.  Good dinners are also numerously used in a political way, and many a boom had its fruitful origin in well cooked food, flavored with rare old wines.

A year of so ago the best restaurant here, and all in all the best in the south, imported a staff of high-salaried New York cooks. The arrangement lasted less than a week.  By that time the guests had asked for a return to Maryland dishes, for to a Marylander the subtle charm of home cooking is the greatest glory of the ages.

January, 1880 (Time Machine archive)
The New York Times

Baltimore, Jan.7. -  Advises from Pocomoke City note a curious sequel to the sensation caused a fortnight ago by the scandalous charges brought by Mrs. Polk against ex-State Senator Aydelotte, of entering her house during the absence of her husband and attempting to violate her person.  Aydelotte is a conspicuous pillar of the Presbyterian Church.  The Rev. Mr. Brown is an eloquent speaker and popular Pastor of the Presbyterian flock, having accepted a call from the West to take the Pocomoke City charge.  The congregation has been violently agitated by the charges against Aydelotte, and a split is threatened.  On Sunday the church was crowded, but in place of a sermon the Rev. Mr. Brown gave from the pulpit a scathing diatribe, denouncing Aydelotte and the whole community.  He came there, he said, supposing he was coming into a Christian, moral, community, but found himself among a people without principle or morality, lost to all sense of shame, rotten to the core.  He was ashamed to acknowledge his residence there, and recently in Philadelphia he could not acknowledge to a brother clergyman that he belonged to Pocomoke.  He ended by resigning his pastorate, and the congregation dispersed in high dudgeon. The excitement throughout the county is intense.
