Burglary Suspects Nabbed By Delaware State Police

Hartly - Throughout the month of March, Delaware State Troopers have been investigating daytime burglaries occurring primarily in central Kent County. On Thursday, March 26th, 2009, Delaware State Troopers were able to apprehend two suspects, at a residence located on Loxley Lane, Hartly.

Despite FOIA Victory, FBN Finds Government Holds Back

For a government that espouses greater transparency, the Obama Administration’s definition of the term can seem rather opaque.

The overwhelming majority of some 10,000 pages released to the FOX Business Network in the cable channel’s successful Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of the Treasury seeking documents related to the Troubled Asset Recovery Program were redacted.

That left thousands of blank documents, whited-out sentences and page after page of little more than lists of email recipients, senders and subject lines.

FOIA experts say FOX Business’s situation -- and frustration -- is hardly unusual.

“This is part of the inherent limitation of FOIA,” said Rick Blum, coordinator of the Sunshine in Government Initiative, a nonprofit coalition of media groups. “FOIA is a very powerful tool that allows the public to obtain documents it should get from the government. But there are a lot of problems with it.”

HISTORICAL MOMENTS BY GEORGE CHEVALLIER

TALES FROM THE RIVER

Having worked at Nanticoke Seafood for 29 years, I was privy to some of the musings of the local watermen. Technically, I was the Purchasing Agent for Nanticoke Seafood, which processed frozen products. Nobody seemed to know much about Nanticoke Seafood and always thought I worked for Coldwater, which moved to Cambridge years before. Actually it was the largest producer in the world of fried clam strips. We didn’t have our own retail label, but produced in large quantities for large chains such as Red Lobster, Long John Silver’s, Friendly’s, Shoney’s and Country Harvest Buffets. This took up all of our production and was reflected in Nanticoke Seafood never having a losing year in its 40+ years of its existence.

Getting back to the subject of tales from the river, my grandmother was quite upset when I went to work down there in 1974. She was 86 at the time and very set in her ways and convictions. When I asked her why she was so upset, she asked if they sold oysters down there. I told her they probably did through the H. B. Kennerly Co. She said oysters made you “lustful” and I had better be careful. One day I wandered outside where they were unloading the tonging boats. They used to unload them into a bushel-sized bucket that was hauled manually by rope and pully to the waiting front-end loader for transport to the shucking or grading tables. I asked one of the watermen if there was any truth to what my grandmother had told me. He kind of grunted and said that if there was any truth to that, Mr. Kennerly wouldn’t be getting them for $3.00 a bushel.

Another time, when one of the tongers came into the office to get paid for his day’s catch, I was witness to this conversation. An occasional tourist would come in for a pint of oysters and happened to be there when this tonger came in for his money. It was a particularly nasty day, cold and rainy, and he looked like he had experienced all that Mother Nature could mete out. When I asked him if he was O.K., the lady in the tourist entourage interrupted and remarked that he was a waterman and he was used to it. At this point, he calmly remarked that you never get used to being wet and cold. He didn’t offend her, but he did get his point across.

When I started working down there, I became Salisbury’s link to fresh oysters at wholesale prices. I didn’t mind and usually delivered the pints. Something happened early on that I never divulged. Everyone wanted their oysters in their own liquor right out of the shell. The first pint I requested from the “skimmer man” was for the oysters to be in their own liquor. He calmly informed of two things. One – nobody wants oysters that haven’t been “washed”. The sand and shell would make for very precarious eating. As far as “in their own liquor” – oyster liquor is simply water. Nobody ever complained and I never divulged the truth to them.

Another amazing fete and a combination of American ingenuity and shear intestinal fortitude I witnessed was the time a Mr. Pruitt was out tonging oysters and his motor quit. He took the carpet from his boat and cut two slits in it. Through these he wove his tong shaft handles to make a sail. With this he proceeded to sail back to safe harbor at Nanticoke. Before the days of cell phones and modern technology, Americans had to think for themselves. Times may have gotten more convenient, but are we losing the ability to use our brain to come up with these inventive solutions?

A Boater's World Employee Sends A Message

I work for one of those 130 stores. Ritz owed millions to Nikon, millions to Canon, Millions to Fuji. They used to make all their money on film processing, but now that everything is digital, people don't need to trust a camera store with their precious film, and just have their prints made for less at a big box store. The store associates, warehouse workers, and the CUSTOMERS are the ones who are really getting screwed by the close of Boater's World. David Ritz isn't selling his corporate jet or taking a pay cut. Jay Jolly, in charge of BW, is walking away with a huge severance package. Associates were given false hopes by corporate to stick it out because things would get better and we would be sold to someone who would keep the stores open, but with only 2 weeks from the date the sale of the stores was announced until the actual sale, there wasn't nearly enough time for investors to gather up the funding to buy! Three liquidators teamed up and bought us for 76 cents on the dollar, totaling around 35 million. The inventory in the warehouse and the stores is worth closer to $125 million, so you can see right there once the liquidator makes their first 35 million back, the rest is just gravy.

The liquidation sale at Boater's World is going to kill West Marine's spring and summer sales numbers, and I would expect a bankruptcy from them in the near future. A lot of vendors that Boater's World was dealing with will also go under as a result of this disaster. Thousands and thousands of people are losing their jobs, all at the hands of David Ritz and his staff and their poor business decisions. I worked at the store part time, and have a nice full time job. I won't miss the weekends I spent at the store, but I'll certainly miss my employee discount! Look for prices to drop in the near future.

PLEASE, if you come to the stores, don't ask us when prices will drop, when the final closing day will be, or ask us where you should shop now that your favorite store is closing. WE DON'T KNOW. And PLEASE don't ask us to mark anything down lower. We have NO CONTROL over pricing. All sales are final. Don't ask us to take something back -- WE CAN'T!

STATE AND LOCAL ENFORCEMENT EFFORT FOCUSES ON COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND

COOPERATIVE STATE AND LOCAL ENFORCEMENT EFFORT FOCUSES ON COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND

(La Plata, MD) – A cooperative enforcement effort between state and county enforcement agencies in Southern Maryland focusing on commercial vehicle traffic in the region has resulted in the issuance of hundreds of traffic citations and dozens of vehicles and drivers being placed out of service for safety violations.

“Operation T-CAT (Trucks and Cars Around Trucks) South” was kicked off early Tuesday morning in Charles and St. Mary’s counties. In just two days of enforcement, police have issued 203 traffic citations and 209 warnings. Commercial vehicle inspectors conducted more than 250 inspections. They placed 68 commercial vehicles and 21 drivers out of service for a variety of safety and vehicle law violations. Violations involving drivers placed out of service ranged from not having a commercial driver’s license, to driving on a suspended license, and to drug possession.

Joining the Maryland State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division in this effort are troopers from the La Plata Barracks, as well as deputies from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office and personnel from the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Maryland Comptroller’s Office. The enforcement operation was interrupted today due to inclement weather, but will resume early tomorrow.

Operation T-CAT South is conducting enforcement on roads other than interstates or routes in metropolitan areas. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently noted that more collisions involving commercial vehicles are occurring on rural and suburban roads. Police are also responding to citizen complaints in the region.

Trucks are being weighed, driver’s log books are being reviewed, vehicle equipment is being thoroughly inspected, and cargo is being checked to ensure it is properly secured and is accurately noted on shipping papers. Inspectors are using special equipment to check diesel exhaust emissions.

Police are not only looking for commercial vehicle violations. They are also observing the behavior of automobile drivers in the vicinity of commercial vehicles. Many crashes involving commercial vehicles are caused by automobile drivers who cut off commercial vehicles, follow them too closely, or ride in their blind spots. Deputies from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Operations Section work working with troopers and conducting speed and other traffic law enforcement as part of this operation.
