Former Delmar Mayoral Candidate Tom McGuire A No Show At Council Meeting



More than 100 angry residents were prepared last night to take on Tom McGuire and his challenges towards escorting the Delmar Football Team Home this Saturday night. Mr. McGuire claimed that they make too much noise and he'll have nothing of the sort going on in his part of Town.

The fnniest part about last nights meeting was when the Mayor of Delmar Maryland formally asked the Mayor of Delmar Delaware if they would consider making their trip home to also include traveling through the Maryland side of Delmar as well.

Even though it was a very long day for me yesterday, there was no way I was going to miss attending this meeting to watch an entire Town up in arms against one man who has proven to be an absolute fruit cake.

The Delmar Football Team and their supporters deserve this special moment in time, win or lose and last night more than 100 of them not only jam packed the Council Chambers, they lined the hallway heading into the building and even went out the front door where some citizens stood in the rain waiting to see if Tom McGuire would actually show up.

Once I realized he was going to be a no show, I left knowing the Town would quickly support this event. Mr. McGuire spent the entire day yesterday contacting the Salvation Army over and over again trying to get on the schedule in an attempt to relieve me personally from one of my long shifts. The Salvation Army has chosen to reject Mr. McGuire's request. My guess would be he and his Wife's remarks referencing Brooke Mulford. The Salvation Army is a Christian Based Organization and I highly doubt they want to be involved with Mr. McGuire. Besides, I'd rather stand there in 10 below temperatures freezing my butt off before I'd ever allow this man to replace me in any way, shape or form.

People know what you're all about Tom, give it up.

Wicomico County Wants To Start Charging For Fire Services

I was surprised to read Pending Bill 2009-14 on the Resolutions and Bills page of the Wicomico County website. They are creating a new requirement for a open burning permit -- at the cost of $100 -- but -- more importantly -- they are going to start charging land/home owners for emergency services rendered. Here are my problems with this bill:

We pay taxes to cover these expenses
We will be charged at rates -- although the bill gives initial fees -- which may change at any time. This is giving the County open authority to determine what fees should be set whenever they please. If they see that this is becoming profitable, they will continually increase fees to increase income with no restrictions.

We have no control over the charges - if I was burning leaves in my backyard (which I will not be permitted to do anymore due to the new 200 foot restriction) - and a passerby calls 911 because he does not know the source of smoke - I will be charged for the call and each piece of equipment dispatched.

The reason this concerns me so much s this is another back door attempt at adding "taxes" on the citizens without increasing taxes. If this passes, it will open the door for fees to be charged for all county services in addition to our normal taxes. Could you imagine that if a tree falls down on the road from your property and you get a bill from the county for removal from the road -- and you submit the bill to insurance but they pay only a portion - so you are responsible for the rest AND your insurance rates increase? Or -- if someone passing by calls the ambulance because they thought they saw someone hurt on your property -- so you receive a bill from the ambulance for responding to a call? How about you receiving a parking ticket AND an invoice for the deputy's time to write the ticket? Right now it sounds a bit far fetched -- but this legislation opend the door for this type of abuse.

Landowners On Florida Beaches Fighting To Be Sand Owners, Too


Supreme Court to examine 'taking' of private property

DESTIN, FLA.
-- The sugar-white sand that stretches from Slade and Nancy Lindsay's deck to the clear, green waters of the Gulf of Mexico is some of the finest in the world. Tiny, uniformly shaped quartz crystals make the beach that stretches along the Florida Panhandle unique, experts say.

So what could be wrong with creating more of it?

That is what Florida's beach restoration and renourishment program has been doing statewide for years, pumping in wide new strips of sand to save eroding shorelines.

But the Lindsays and other homeowners challenged the program because it comes with a catch: The new strips of beach belong to the public, not the property owners. They feared their waterfront view of bleached sand and sea oats would include throngs of strangers toting umbrellas and coolers.

The Florida Supreme Court disagreed that the homeowners' property rights had been infringed upon just because their waterfront property line may not actually touch the water.

And that decision, in turn, has created a new challenge from the landowners: that the state high court ditched 100 years of common law to endorse the popular beach renourishment program, depriving them of their constitutional rights.

It is the latter charge that created the unusual case that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear next week. Justices will examine a concept they have pondered for more than 40 years without resolution: whether a decision by the judicial branch, rather than the executive or legislative, can create the kind of taking of private property forbidden by the Constitution.

"It's one of the great open questions" in property law, said D. Benjamin Barros, a law professor at Widener University who edits a blog on such topics. The importance of the issue of whether a judicial decision "can eliminate important property rights and leave the owner without a remedy" will only increase with the growing number of public-private disputes over waterfront property, he said.

QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY IS PREFERRED SITE FOR 1,200-ACRE, JOB-RICH DIPLOMATIC TRAINING FACILITY

KRATOVIL, MIKULSKI, CARDIN: QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY IS PREFERRED SITE FOR 1,200-ACRE, JOB-RICH DIPLOMATIC TRAINING FACILITY

Washington, DC
–Rep. Frank Kratovil joined U.S. Senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Benjamin L. Cardin today in applauding the announcement by the General Services Administration (GSA) and the U.S. Department of State that the Hunt Ray Farm in Queen Anne’s County is the preferred site to build a new 1,250-acre Foreign Affairs Security Training Center.

The State Department and GSA have been considering several sites to house the Foreign Affairs Security Training Center. Senators Mikulski and Cardin and Congressman Kratovil fought hard to bring the building to Maryland. To read the letter of support that Senators Mikulski and Cardin sent in support of the Queen Anne’s site, click here. To read Congressman Kratovil’s letter in support of the Queen Anne’s site, click here.

“This announcement is a big win for the Eastern Shore economy,” said Rep. Frank Kratovil. “This new facility will immediately create hundreds of construction jobs and will support 500 new full-time positions once completed. The construction workers, permanent staff, and students housed at this facility will inject millions of dollars into the local economy and support small businesses throughout the area. I am also pleased that members of the community will have an opportunity to voice their opinions at public hearings as planning for this facility moves forward.”

“This is a big win for Maryland. The training facility is good news for three reasons: jobs, jobs and more jobs for Maryland,” said Senator Mikulski, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. “I’m proud Queen Anne’s County has been selected to house a facility dedicated to keeping Americans abroad safe, secure, and protected.”

“The selection of the 2,000-acre site in Queen Anne’s County as the preferred location for a new State Department Diplomatic Training facility is a winner for our country and for the residents of Queen Anne’s County,” said Senator Cardin, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “This site will provide new job opportunities for residents of Queen Anne’s County and it will benefit our nation to have a consolidated embassy security training facility on the Eastern Shore near Washington, D.C. I look forward to a successful conclusion to the negotiations and the full engagement of the local community.”

Under the agreement reached today, the State Department will buy 2,000- acres of land in Queen Anne’s County to build a State Department Diplomatic Training facility. Up to 1,250 acres may be developed. The Foreign Affairs Security Training Center will consolidate training that is currently spread across nineteen separate facilities. The next step in this process is negotiations between the GSA and owners of the property for the acquisition of the property.

The GSA has also announced their intention to hold a public hearing/comment period to give Queen Anne’s County residents an opportunity to voice their ideas and concerns about the facility. More information will be released when it becomes available.

Every year, thousands of Foreign Service officers and their families move overseas to work in American embassies and consulates around the world. The Foreign Affairs Security Training Center will help them learn tips and tricks to stay safe and secure when they live and work in environments where terrorists and other bad actors would seek to harm America by harming them.

Death Penalty In 9/11 Trials May Be Difficult

Reporting from Washington -- After Zacarias Moussaoui -- the accused "20th hijacker" in the Sept. 11 attacks -- was sentenced to life in prison in 2006 because one juror in Virginia refused to agree to the death penalty, Moussaoui clapped his hands and called out, "America, you lost and I won." Now the Obama administration plans to seek a death sentence for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind.
