This Just In
While not confirmed, we have come to learn that a child may have jumped/dropped/fallen off the Chincoteague Bridge.
I'm not near the area and have no one I can really contact, so we're going off a tip sent into us. Hopefully it's not true at all.

What Would Thomas Jefferson Say?
The College of William and Mary held their homecoming this weekend. Guess who was the homecoming queen? A self-described “gender-queer” individual by the name of Jessee Vasold.
At the risk of offending almost everyone, I can only ask, “What is the world coming to?”.
From the Daily Press’s article I am assuming that Mr.? (or is it Ms.?) Vasold is a transsexual. Fair enough. I’m not opposed to a transsexual running for homecoming queen any more than I was offended by a caucasian woman recently being elected homecoming queen at Hampton University. My problem is that Billy Mary’s new homecoming queen didn’t have to share with the world that he/she is “transgendered”. (Seriously, I am not trying to offend transsexuals here, I am just not sure from the article whether this individual is a transsexual or simply a transvestite).
I remember as a child when race was used to make a political statement at such events; perhaps I’m just a little too old fashioned not to be more sympathetic with this type of “statement”. However, it has been my experience that people tend to be a tad more tolerant when this type thing isn’t just pushed into our collective faces.

Two Car Crash Claims Life Of Newark Woman And Hospitalizes Two Children
Location: Route 273 and Red Mill Road east of Ogletown, New Castle County, DE
Date and Time: Friday, October 23, 2009 at 11:11 p.m.
Victim: Brandi L. Galvin, 18, Newark, DE
Resume:
Delaware State Police are investigating a two car crash that killed a Newark woman and seriously injured two children.
Carlo Lacio, 17, of Newark was driving a 1990 Acura Integra and was either turning from Rt 273 eastbound or crossing Rt 273 from Old Ogletown Road to Red Mill Road when a 1998 Dodge Durango was heading west and failed to stop at a red light striking the Acura on the right side.
The Durango was driven by Thomas L. LeGrande, 59, of Wilmington.
As a result of the crash the front seat passenger, Galvin, was taken to Christiana Hospital where she died this morning at 3:11 a.m. She died as a result of a lacerated spleen, liver and carotid artery. She was wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash.
In addition a 2 year-old girl and 1 year-old boy were taken to A.I. DuPont Hospital near Rockland where they were admitted in serious condition. The girl received fractured ribs and a perforated lung and boy received a possible concussion and lung contusion resulting from the crash. Both children were seated in the rear of the Acura and both were in child seat.
Alcohol is not suspected in the crash. No charges are filed at this time and the investigation is still on going.
Bill Cosby Keeps It Clean For Humor Prize
‘Comic genius’ will accept Mark Twain honor he has previously rejected
WASHINGTON - Bill Cosby still thinks America is funny — like the name-calling over health care and the way we drink so much water from plastic bottles that could be toxic — even though he says the nation has some serious problems it needs to tackle.
The 72-year-old who has long drawn laughs for his wisecracks and deadpan observations will receive the nation's foremost humor prize Monday at the Kennedy Center in Washington. Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Sinbad and other top entertainers will line up to honor him with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
It's a prize Cosby has turned down twice before because he said he was disgusted with profanity and N-words thrown around by performers honoring Richard Pryor, who was the first recipient in 1998.

Obama Declares Swine Flu National Emergency
Order could speed up treatments by waiving certain medical standards
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama has signed a proclamation declaring swine flu a national emergency, the White House said Saturday.
"In keeping with the administration's proactive approach to H1N1 Flu, President Obama last night signed a proclamation declaring 2009-H1N1 Influenza a national emergency," it said in a statement. "The proclamation enhances the ability of our nation's medical treatment facilities to handle a surge in H1N1 patients by allowing, as needed, the waiver of certain standard federal requirements on a case-by-case basis."
Officials described the move as similar to a declaration ahead of a hurricane making landfall.

H1N1
Dear Joe,
Thought you and your viewers would like to know two schools that have confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus. Around 5 pm yesterday Sussex Tech called and stated that they had a confirmed case. What they don't know is, now its two confirmed cases. As of 11pm last night my girlfried called and said both her children were tested positive for the virus. One, the oldest, goes to Sussex Tech. The younger one goes to Laurel Middle. As a parent of three I would like to know.

HISTORICAL COMMENTS BY GEORGE CHEVALLIER
WICOMICO HIGH SCHOOLBelow are a few facts about Wicomico High School that people have asked me about throughout the years.
Higher education in Salisbury began in 1818 with the formation of The Salisbury Academy. The building was located at the corner of N. Division and Chestnut Sts. The structure was destroyed in the fire of 1886. Salisbury formed an educational system in 1867 when Wicomico County was formed. Up to that point, higher education was for boys only. The Constitution Convention of 1867 changed all that and girls were admitted. The original Salisbury High School remained open to only Salisbury students until 1905. When a new high school was built on Upton St. (where The Daily Times building was), students from the entire county were admitted. This new high school became known as Wicomico High School. This was done as the additional funding was needed to build the school.
The first effort at a yearbook was in 1904. It was known as the Tattler, a name that remained until its discontinuance during the Depression. I have not seen a yearbook from 1928-1945, although graduates from that period have told me that soft bound copies of a reasonable facsimile of a yearbook were issued. Printing of an annual yearbook resumed in 1946. By this time it was known as the Tom-Tom, a name that remains to this day. The first two issues of the Tattler were from Salisbury High School. After they built the new school that opened in the fall of 1905, the school was identified as Wicomico High School in the Tattler.
By 1931 Salisbury’s population had more than tripled since Wicomico High was erected on Upton Street and school enrollment had proportionately grown. A new High School was built on E. Main St., opposite the City Park on land recovered from when the Humphreys’ mill dam broke in 1909. When another new Wicomico High School was build on Long Ave. in 1954, the school on Main St. became Wicomico Jr. High.
Early high school consisted of 9 grades. A 10th grade was added in 1902. An 11th grade was added in 1906. The final 12th grade was added in 1949. So, the Wicomico High School Class of 1950 had to go two years as seniors to complete their education. The yearbook of 1949 has “graduates”, so I guess that you could opt out of that 12th year if you so desired.

Wicomico County Sheriff's Office Press Release
Incident: Possession of a Handgun
Date of Incident: 23 October 2009
Location: Beaglin Park Drive, Salisbury, MD
Suspect:
1. Joseph R. Thompson, 53, Salisbury, MD
2. John C. Mulford, 27, Salisbury, MD
3. Charles R. Rowan, Jr., 36, Salisbury, MD
Narrative: On 23 October 2009 at 3:06 AM a deputy stopped a vehicle operated by Joseph Thompsen for a traffic violation on Beaglin Park Drive in Salisbury. Upon approaching the vehicle and making contact with Thompsen and his two passengers, John Mulford and Charles Rowan, the deputy became aware of the possibility of illicit activity inside the vehicle. During the subsequent search of their vehicle, the deputy recovered a loaded revolver and a loaded magazine from a semi-automatic handgun. The seized handgun was within reach of all three of the occupants.
The deputy discovered that Thompson was prohibited due to a prior conviction from possessing a regulated firearm.
During the subsequent investigation into the illegal possession of the handgun, the investigating deputy learned that Thompsen had retrieved the handgun from inside a church in the 400 block of E. Vine Street in Salisbury. The deputy also learned that stored inside the church was ammunition for the handgun as well as another handgun. Based on this information, the deputy applied for and received a search warrant for the aforementioned church. The search warrant was conducted by personnel from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office on 23 October 2009. During the search an additional handgun, along with ammunition of various calibers were located.
All three subjects, Thompson, Mulford and Rowan were arrested and transported to the Central Booking Unit where they were processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, all three were detained by the Commissioner in the Detention Center on the following bond amounts: Thompson $25,000.00, Mulford $5,000.00 Rowan $10,000.00
Officers from the Salisbury Police Department assisted with this investigation.
Charges:
Transport a handgun in a Vehicle
Handgun on Person
Concealed handgun on Person
Possession of a regulated Firearm by a Prohibited Person (Thompson only)
Advice From A RN To Help Avoid H1N1
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).
3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*
5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list. You never know who might pay attention to it - and STAY ALIVE because of it.

Sunstein Urges: Abolish Marriage
Adviser compares institution to country club membership
The U.S. government should abolish its sanctioning of marriage, argued Cass Sunstein, President Obama's regulatory czar.
Sunstein proposed that the concept of marriage should become privatized, with the state only granting civil union contracts to couples wishing to enter into an agreement.
Sunstein explained marriage licensing is unnecessary, pointing out people stay committed to organizations like country clubs and homeowner associations without any government interference.
"Under our proposal, the word marriage would no longer appear in any laws, and marriage licenses would no longer be offered or recognized by any level of government," wrote Sunstein and co-author Richard Thaler in their 2008 book, "Nudge: Improving decisions about health, wealth and happiness."
In the book – obtained and reviewed by WND – Sunstein explains his approach would ensure that "the only legal status states would confer on couples would be a civil union, which would be a domestic partnership agreement between any two people."

Tracking Your Taxes: Millions Spent To Send Professors On Vacation
Government watchdogs are blasting taxpayer-funded grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities that send college professors on free vacations and pay for programs on topics like the "cultural significance of the circus poster" -- just a few items on an eye-popping list of questionable NEH projects.
As if the life of a college professor weren't easy enough, millions of taxpayer dollars are going to fund monthlong vacations for sightseeing scholars in Europe and South America, part of the $144 million budget provided for the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Government watchdogs say those trips are a waste of taxpayer money, and they're not alone on an eye-popping list of NEH funding for projects, including:
$400,000 for an exhibition "exploring the importance of plants as a source of inspiration for noted American poet Emily Dickinson"
$350,000 to explore the "cultural significance of the circus poster"
$725,000 to produce a two-hour documentary on the history of American whaling.
$130,000 for 16 professors to study the "truth and meaning" of life according to Aristotle
$50,000 to build a computer model of an ancient city in Pakistan complete with "animated and interactive 'inhabitants'"
"Everybody should be angry ... that federal taxpayer dollars are being used on projects at a time when we have such bigger priorities, like getting the national debt under control," said Pete Sepp of the National Taxpayers Union.
"They're being done with tax money we don't have. We are mortgaging our future with projects people may never even see."

An Oldie Byt A Goody
A redneck was stopped by a game warden in South Carolina recently with two ice chests full of fish. He was leavin' a cove well-known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to catch those fish?
'Naw, sir', replied the redneck. 'I ain't got none of them there licenses. You must understand, these here are my pet fish.'
'Pet fish?'
'Yeah. Every night, I take these here fish down to the lake and let 'em swim 'round for awhile. Then, when I whistle, they jump right back into yhese here ice chests and I take 'em home.
'That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that.'
The redneck looked into the eyes of the warden for a moment and then said, 'It's the truth Mr. Government Man. I'll show ya. It really works.'
'Ok, said the warden. 'I've got to see this!'
The redneck poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the warden says, 'Well?'
'Well, what?', says the redneck.
The warden says, 'When are you going to call them back?'
'Call who back?'
'The FISH!', replied the warden.
'What fish?', replied the redneck.
Moral of the story: We may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we ain't as dumb as some government employees.
You can say what you want about the South, but you never hear of anyone retiring and moving North.

New Publix supermarket opened in Hudson, Florida.
It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the distant
Sound of thunder and the smell of fresh rain
When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and you experience the scent of fresh cut hay.
In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks and hotdogs.
In the liquor department, the fresh, clean, crisp smell of tapped Miller Lite.
When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing Aroma of bacon and eggs frying.
The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread & cookies.
I don't buy toilet paper there anymore.
