ORVILLE PENN APPOINTED NEW CHAIR OF COUNTY EXECUTIVE’S WICOMICO YOUTH & CIVIC CENTER COMMISSION
August 27, 2008
Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr. has announced that Judge Alfred T. Truitt, Jr., chairman of the County Executive’s Citizens Commission on the future of the Civic Center has informed him that he would be unable to continue as the leader of the commission. Judge Truitt became aware of a provision contained in the Judicial Code of Ethics that would preclude him from taking part in any effort that carried a potential for future legal action. Judge Truitt said, “I began to research the history of the Civic Center and unfortunately discovered at least one area that could be the subject of future litigation in Wicomico County. Even though I am retired, I am recalled frequently and sit in this Circuit Court. I sincerely apologize to Executive Pollitt for any delay and inconvenience.”
“I regret that Judge Truitt is unable to serve with us officially,” said Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr., “but he has offered his years of experience and insights into the role of the Civic Center in the life of our county and he will continue to be a resource. At the same time, it is imperative to keep the work of the Commission on track. Toward this end, I consulted with Commission Vice-Chairs Orville Penn and County Councilwoman Stevie Prettyman and they agreed that Mr. Penn is ideally suited to assume the leadership of the group. We are fortunate that Ms. Prettyman will continue as vice-chair. The next meeting of the WY&CC Commission will be on September 3rd at 11:00 A.M. in Flanders 6 at the Civic Center.”
Orville Penn has been an administrator at SHORE UP! Inc., since 1977. Mr. Penn has a long history of dedicated community service. He has served as chairperson for the Salisbury Advisory Council on Youth Activities, commissioner for the Wicomico Housing Authority, chairperson for Wesley Temple Community Programs and chairperson for the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center Task Force. Mr. Penn received the Wicomico County NAACP President’s Award in 2004.

Stevie Michaels...100KHI. Boy those were the days! She's still hot as ever!
Couldn't they pick someone better than Orville Penn? Sounds like a set up to me. Hand picked individuals from the start to tell the 800lb gorilla and Mackes what they want to hear.
Orville Penn is an active listener. He is analytical, experienced and professional. He is well skilled to lead the Civic Center task force.

Bullshit! Prove it!!
Stevie Michaels was her name as a radio personality for 100khi. Nice pull Craig. She also has one of the finest figures a person would ever want to see. You talk abouta set of headlights! Whoa mama! That being said they don't seem to get in her way of sound decision making for the taz payers sake.
Since when does a retired 70+ year old retired Judge get deterred from performing a community service. . . unless of course there is a 'smell in the air' of corruption.
Let's face it folks, the Civic Center is wrought with internal corruption. Since the formation of the Enterprise it is now essentially off-line with little or no accountability.
10.32- You are disgusting. Just one of those pig men that women can't stand. You must have short man complex..... SHORT in many ways.
you wish.
Appears that anon 8:03 wishes she had a pair of gonzagas to be proud of like council woman Prettyman. Sounds like torpedo envy to me.
7:15 anon. Posts like yours are truly amazing.You have absolutely no idea of the process or what you are tlaking about.Do yourself a big favor and visit the council offices and review the DETAILED information that is provided to the ocunty as to the operations of the civic center.....or just stay completely ignorant
Another token just to make pollitt look good in the eyes of the colored folks.none of the blacks in county under pollitt have any real power.don't fall for this side show.this is just another political fashion show appointment by politt and his good ole boy cabinet.orville penn is very into the county and would serve well if allowed to do so.but in all probability he will serve the same as the rest of pollitt's diversified appointments be seen,but not heard'don't rock the boat and you'll be o.k.imo.
Stevie's been a hottie every since I've known her. And she's got the brains to go with it. Talk about the total package. You're gettin up there girlie but you've still got it!
