The New Pocomoke City Restaurant
Pocomoke City, Maryland
Sunday April 29, 2012
The brickwork has been extended to the back of the restaurant. I can only imagine what a tedious job that was. But the work is beautiful and complements the entire restaurant and setting so well.
Work is still being done inside the restaurant and from what I understand great things are being done in the kitchen....that's a good thing because I think we are all just about ready to have a meal there!
With every week that passes opening day is that much closer and it's closer now than it was in December.
And remember: NO FEE for docking your boat. And NO FEE for the beauty that surrounds you.
A big thankyou to my wonderful husband for making sure I complete my mission.
(Someone else who is "just as neat as papertowels".)

Ava's Law Passes
OCEAN CITY: Ava's Law passes General AssemblyScott Muska
Staff Writer
OCEAN CITY — State legislators have passed Ava’s Law, a bill that will enact harsher penalties for people who are driving under the influence of drugs and cause a life-threatening crash, making them parallel with driving under the influence of alcohol punishments.
For either offense, the maximum penalty is three years imprisonment, a $5,000 fine or both.
The sponsors called it Ava's Law, for Ava DelRicco, a one-year-old girl who was critically injured along with her in a Dec. 16 Coastal Highway car crash when Andre James Kaczynski of Ocean Pines caused the wreck while high on PCP. The incident was the catalyst for Worcester County State's Attorney, Beau Oglesby, to contact McDermott and Sen. Jim Mathias, D-38-Worcester about what an effort for a law change would entail.

LOST DOG
I'm in the process of moving and took my dog out to the new place on Somerset Road yesterday afternoon. She managed to get over a 6 foot fence and ran off while I was in town getting more of the moving stuff finished and by the time I got out there and found her gone it was dark.
She's a dark brindle, almost black, with an old faded blue collar and answers to Taje.
Good with people, doesn't cope with other female dogs very well.
If you hear anything or if you know anyone who lives out in that area please ask them if they've seen her.
I already contacted both the Worcester and Somerset county animal control departments and the Pocomoke PD. I'm about to call the State Patrol and the Sheriff's Department but thought I'd ask you for help too.
My nephew and I are really worried about her since she was out in the storm. Call 443-422-1317or call 443-365-6400.
Thank you for your time.

You Can Help These Homeless Animals In So Many Ways.....
The SPCA Eastern Shore is still accepting monetary donations for roof repairs so the animals that live there and those that work there can stay dry. This is quite an expense so they have asked the public to be kind enough to donate. The SPCA Eastern Shore located in Onley, Virginia is a no-kill facility. They provide food, shelter, and medical care to the animals as they wait for adoption into a forever home. All this is very costly and the SPCA Eastern Shore runs its facility with donations from people like me and you and by sponsoring fund raisers.
If you would like to send a donation of any amount go to this website for the necessary information or find them on facebook.

Maryland State Police Reminder:
MAY IS MOVE OVER MONTH - YEAR ROUND
(PIKESVILLE, MD) – In an effort to drive home the message of year round safety of Maryland’s emergency responders, the Maryland State Police remind motorists that May is Move Over Month.
As part of the effort to boost awareness of the ‘move over’ law, a decal, provided by the Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund (MAIF) was unveiled at a press conference earlier this year. The decal reads, “If I’m on the Shoulder, Slow Down and Move Over” and serves as a reminder for drivers approaching from the rear of an emergency vehicle using visual signals while stopped on a highway to, if possible, make a lane change into an available lane not immediately adjacent to the emergency vehicle or slow down to a reasonable prudent speed. Although state troopers will display the decal on their patrol cars for the month of May, the intended message will ultimately last a lifetime.
The intent of Maryland’s ‘move over’ law is to provide an extra barrier of safety for police officers, firefighters, and emergency rescue personnel working along Maryland roads. “Roadside safety is a serious concern for all emergency responders,” said State Police Superintendent Marcus L. Brown, “Ideally, our motoring public will make it a habit to slow down and/or move over when they see those flashing red or blue emergency lights ahead, then the near misses and brushes with death could be avoided.”
Although the ‘move over’ law was passed in October 2010, the need to promote awareness of the law is still evident. In January of 2012, two separate incidents sent police officers to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center with injuries.
On the morning of January 15, Trooper First Class Jason James, assigned to the Golden Ring Barrack, was transported to Shock Trauma after being struck by a passing motorist while working a traffic stop. On the morning of January 22, a Howard County Police officer, a person he had in custody and the driver who hit them suffered injuries, after the motorist failed to slow down and move over. All three individuals were transported to the Shock Trauma Center for treatment.
Violation of the ‘move over’ law is a primary offense with a fine of $110 and one point. If the violation contributes to a traffic crash, the fine is $150 and three points. If the violation contributes to a traffic crash resulting in death or serious injury, the fine escalates to $750 and three points.
Statistics indicate more than 150 U.S. law enforcement officers have been killed since 1999 after being struck by vehicles along America's highways. To date, forty-three Maryland State Troopers have been killed in the line of duty and three of them have been killed by motor vehicle crashes.

A New Mini-Park and "Community Giving Garden" ~ At the Hands Of Volunteers
Downtown Pocomoke City, Maryland
The gazebo that mysteriously appeared one fine day on the corner of Second and Market Streets is part of a new mini-park.
When completed the small park will include seating, a bike rack, trees, flowers, various other plants and an information station.
In an effort to get the youth involved in their downtown, high school students will be doing the gardening. In fact, they were supposed to begin tomorrow but I just received word that some of those students have already been to the corner lot TODAY and have planted shrubs and grasses in the area.
ALSO.....
Who wants to garden???
Two charitable and creative Pocomoke residents are starting a "Community Giving Garden" downtown. Location of this garden will be on city owned property at the corner of Willow and Clarke Avenues.
Groundbreaking will be within the next two weeks.

Supersized Full Moon Saturday Night
Skywatchers take note: The biggest full moon of the year is due to arrive this weekend.The moon will officially become full Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT. And because this month's full moon coincides with the moon's perigee — its closest approach to Earth — it will also be the year's biggest.
The moon will swing in 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) from our planet, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of an extra-big, extra-bright moon, nicknamed a supermoon.
And not only does the moon's perigee coincide with full moon this month, but this perigee will be the nearest to Earth of any this year, as the distance of the moon's close approach varies by about 3 percent, according to meteorologist Joe Rao, SPACE.com's skywatching columnist. This happens because the moon's orbit is not perfectly circular.
This month's full moon is due to be about 16 percent brighter than average. In contrast, later this year on Nov. 28, the full moon will coincide with apogee, the moon's farthest approach, offering a particularly small and dim full moon.
Though the unusual appearance of this month's full moon may be surprising to some, there's no reason for alarm, scientists warn. The slight distance difference isn't enough to cause any earthquakes or extreme tidal effects, experts say.
However, the normal tides around the world will be particularly high and low. At perigee, the moon will exert about 42 percent more tidal force than it will during its next apogee two weeks later, Rao said.
To view this weekend's supermoon to best effect, look for it just after it rises or before it sets, when it is close to the horizon. There, you can catch a view of the moon behind buildings or trees, an effect which produces an optical illusion, making the moon seem even larger than it really is.
