Missing Dog In Delmar
Today a family let their Black Lab out early in the morning and it somehow got out of the back yard. The Lab is 9 years old and has some gray on her chin. She goes by the name of Gracie. If you have seen this Lab, please contact Johnny Lane at 443-235-2001.
Lost Dog In Search Of Owner
Greetings Joe,
I just wanted to pass this along - because I know you hold the key to information getting out quickly - that there is a Chocolate Lab wandering the Camden area neighborhood. He's been on Middle Blvd. most of the day hanging around with a neighbor who was working outside. He told me that a jogger came by and the dog followed, so she said she would take him to her house and keep him in her yard... but a few hours later he was back with the man on Middle Blvd. I don't know if he got out of the fence or never got there in the first place... So I took a walk down South Blvd. and the dog followed me the entire way without being acknowledged (I wasn't calling or prodding the dog). He completed the walk with me and he left me again upon return to Middle.
If anyone is missing a Chocolate Lab - or perhaps the owner actually lives very close (on Middle or South Blvds.) please know that the dog is out wandering and will follow any passerby. Also, he will randomly run into traffic, so this seems to be a very unsafe situation. I've knocked on a few doors.
The dog appears to be older and walks with a slight limp. Red/Orange collar but no phone number.
I have no way to maintain the dog at my house, but I'm sure that if the owner were to walk around the North/Middle/South Blvd. blocks, the dog will probably be around... he seems to be quite content laying in the shade just hanging out. The neighbor gave him some water, and he doesn't care to venture too far from the bowl :-)
I don't know how much direct help I can be, but if anyone knows anything about the dog, you can contact me at LMMjb@comcast.net
Thanks!

Andy Harris Statement On Arizona Immigration Law Ruling
SEVERNA PARK, Md. – Andy Harris released the following statement today in response to a federal judge striking down portions of the Arizona Immigration Law:
"Once again Washington played the "we-know-best" card and Americans have been dealt another bad hand. Whether it is so-called health care reform, job-killing cap and trade legislation or now a federal judge's decision to overrule Arizona's right to enforce a common-sense immigration law, the Washington establishment continues to act in its own best interest and not in the interest of American citizens.”
Union Members, Activists To Caravan To Arizona To Protest Immigration Law
More than 550 people representing 32 unions plan to travel in 11 buses for a rally at the state Capitol and a vigil with local groups on the day the law is set to take effect.
As a judge weighs whether to halt Arizona's controversial immigration law, hundreds of Los Angeles union members and activists are planning a bus caravan to Phoenix on Thursday — the day the law is set to take effect.
More than 550 people plan to ride on 11 buses to Arizona to stage a protest and launch a partnership with Arizona groups to boost voter registration. During the one-day trip, sponsored by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, participants will meet with Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris, march to the state Capitol and hold a vigil. The participants represent 32 unions.
SB 1070, signed into law by Gov. Jan Brewer in April and supported by a majority of Arizona residents, makes it a state crime to lack immigration documents and requires police to determine the immigration status of people they lawfully stop and subsequently suspect are in the country illegally.
"As Californians and Angelenos, we want to see how we can help not only defeat this specific law but also to help the Latino community be more active in the political process," said Maria Elena Durazo, executive secretary-treasurer of the labor federation. "Hopefully it will motivate some to go out and register to vote."

MR. CORNBROOKS: OPEN YOUR EYES!
The Daily Times recently published commentary by Salisbury attorney Ernest Cornbrooks on the quality of candidates running for local office this year. He finds them to be a pitiful lot of “career politicians,” which he apparently considers lower in esteem than even lawyers, and “those who want power and control.” He claims that there are few exceptions, but does not identify anyone by name.
Perhaps he is not aware of the candidacy of Michael James, Joseph Ollinger, Matt Maciarello, the late Sam Vincent, Bob Culver, Matt Holloway, David Goslee, John Baker, Tom Taylor, David Cowall, Seth Mitchell and John Phoebus, to name some of those seeking office who have never held one. And there are those who have but hardly are “career politicians”, such as John Cannon, Bob Caldwell, Mike Lewis, Joe Holloway, Gail Bartkovich, and Stevie Prettyman, among others.
Mr. Cornbrooks reiterates, as “best advice”, old and trite put downs of the citizens who run for and serve in public office, which he attributes to local luminaries now deceased, but which have been in the public domain for decades if not a century or longer. Those are followed by his sly assertion that candidates who prevail in the election process “probably have character flaws which disqualify them from holding the offices they seek.”
He concludes by suggesting several reasons why “we don’t have higher quality candidates” without mentioning the character assassination that they get from persons such as Mr. Cornbrooks himself, who seems to relish in trashing those who run for or hold a local office by his rhetorical invective and innuendo that the Daily Times also appears to relish.
We have recently interviewed many of the local candidates and find them to be public-spirited and motivated to serve the public interest. We invite Mr. Cornbrooks to watch those proceedings, which are and will continue to be posted on this blog. If he is too busy writing rants and tirades about the current candidates to do that, perhaps he could discuss in the Daily Times the faults or “character flaws” that he finds in those candidates named above, for starters, and tell the public which of them wants or craves “power and control”.

Defense Can't Account For $8.7 Billion
The Defense Department is unable to account for $8.7 billion of the $9.1 billion in Development Fund for Iraq monies in received for reconstruction in Iraq. This according to a study published today by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.
"This situation occurred because most DoD organizations receiving DFI (Development Fund for Iraq) funds did not establish the required Department of the Treasury accounts and no DoD organization was designated as the executive agent for managing the use of DFI funds," the report states.
The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) finds that only one Defense organization actually set up the accounts required by the Treasury.
"The breakdown in controls left the funds vulnerable to inappropriate uses and undetected loss," SIGIR says.

National Report On State Budgets Says Maryland Economic Recovery On Track
A new national report on state budgets highlights Maryland as one of the more promising examples of economic recovery, but like most states, Maryland is still facing big budget gaps as federal stimulus dollars dry up.
Maryland’s revenues are running ahead of projections across the board for fiscal 2010, according to a report released by the National Conference of State Legislatures, looking at the budgets in all 50 states.
The good news, however, is misleading. Warren Deschenaux, director of the Legislature’s Office of Policy Analysis, said that back when the FY 2010 budget was being considered, a 5% across-the-board decrease in revenues was projected. “It looks like we only declined about 3%, so we’re ahead of the estimate,” Deschenaux said. “If you look at the year as a whole, we are still taking in less than the year before.”

The Vatican’s Gay Priests
For residents of Rome, the sight of courting priests is hardly an anomaly. But a recent exposé is rocking the Catholic Church.
In the basement dining room of Le Mani In Pasta, a trattoria in central Rome, a young, glossy-eyed couple stare at each other across a table for two. They smile and blush over a private joke. There is no handholding or kissing, but they are clearly more than friends, even though they are both wearing dark shirts and the telltale white clerical collar.
For residents of Rome, the sight of courting priests is hardly an anomaly. The phenomenon is a well-known secret here, and one that was largely ignored until last weekend, when the Italian weekly magazine Panorama published a shocking exposé called “Le Notti Brave Dei Preti Gay,” or “Good Nights Out for Gay Priests.” Investigative journalist Carmelo Abbate spent 20 days undercover posing as the boyfriend of a man who ran in gay clerical circles, secretly videotaping the sexual escapades of three Rome-based priests. Abbate caught the priests on hidden camera dirty dancing at private parties and engaging in sex acts with male escorts on church property. He also caught them emerging from dark bedrooms in time to celebrate mass. In one postcoital scene, “Father Carlo” parades around seminaked, wearing only his clerical vestments. Abbate’s “date” even had sex with one of the priests to corroborate the story. “This is not about homosexuality,” Abbate, who is not gay, told NEWSWEEK. “This is about private vices and public virtues. This is about serious hypocrisy in the Catholic Church.”

One Year Ago Today
It was one year ago today, Mike Calpino stood in front of Frank Kratovil's Office where he hung/hanged Frank Kratovil in effigy. This image sparked national and world wide attention as the MSM and Bloggers simply stole the image and used it as if it were their own.Nevertheless, this is the same man who is attempting to run for a seat with the Wicomico County Council. While we have already reported City Council Members filing for Bankruptcy, this guys fiscal situation has to be one of the worst I have ever encountered.
Point Blank, this man does NOT pay his bills and sooner than later we'll expose his past public financial history. NOT the kind of guy you want making decisions of a multi million dollar budget, that's for sure.
Jakubiak Endorsed By MD League Of Conservation Voters
Eastern Shore State Senate Candidate Chris Jakubiak has received the endorsement of the Maryland League of Conservation Voters.
In September, we will go to the polls in the Democratic Primary to elect a candidate for the Maryland State Senate from District 37. The winner will challenge a long-time incumbent in November. Focused on Eastern Shore solutions for our region and our State, Chris has broad appeal across party lines. He presents the best opportunity for forward-looking common sense to win in November and we are confident.
Chris has shared a compelling vision for the Eastern Shore: “Our kids will grow up to be the best farmers, engineers, watermen, teachers and marine scientists in the world. This means we must provide world class opportunities to our schools, protect farming, and make our rivers and the Bay swimmable, healthy and productive again. We must achieve this vision with integrity and fiscal discipline in the State House”.
Chris lives in Talbot County with his wife Beth and two daughters Natalie and Anna, ages 5 and 3. He is 42 years old and owns Jakubiak & Associates, Inc. a town planning firm in Easton. For 20 years, he has worked to build the capabilities of towns, cities and rural places to manage growth and development. He grew up among the farms and open spaces of Maryland and knows that what we have here must be protected. Who we elect matters.
Leading up to primary day in September, we invite you to view our website: www.JakubiakforMDSenate.com , join us in volunteering, and please consider making a contribution to the campaign.

Upping The Ante On Schools
Anyone who thought that Mayor Adrian Fenty would throttle back his version of school reform can forget the thought.
Last week, Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee announced a new round of firings that rattled the school system again, 10 months after more than 275 teachers were fired in a controversial budget move.
Now we have a better alignment between how we are performing [for the children] and how we are evaluating our teachers, Rhee said in an interview with NBC4.
Asked if she thought the fast-paced reform efforts were too much for the city to handle, Rhee was her usually blunt self.
I think if you look at the way the District had performed for kids prior to the mayoral control, she said, I think anybody would say that theres no way you can move fast enough to make sure were putting a great teacher in front of every single child. We cant do that fast enough, in our opinion.
Another 550 or more teachers were rated minimally effective and face being fired next year if they dont improve. Those teachers will lose any step increases in their pay for the coming year.
On Fridays WAMU Politics Hour at noon, Washington Teachers Union general vice president Nathan Saunders agreed with an angry caller that there is a racial aspect to Rhees dismissal of the teacher workforce, which is majority African-American.

Ladies & Gentlemen, my apologies for the lack of Posts yesterday. If you'll recall, Tuesday's and Thursdays are the days in which I spend pretty much full time interviewing Candidates at 300 W. Main Street and yesterday was the busiest day we've experienced so far.
Only ONE Candidate didn't show up for his appointment but it worked out because we had an extra come in that wasn't scheduled. The interviews are just the beginning though. Now we have to take the time to load each interview onto a computer and then load them onto YouTube. After that we have to create each one into a Post and schedule them for the proper time and date and only then do we have a final product. Where I'm going is, there's still a LOT of work yet to do and a lot of sitting around waiting for each one of them to load, BORING!
I'm explaining this because in the end when you watch each video, many hours of work have gone into this project to deliver you 10 minutes worth of educational material. If you care about your district you'll take the time to watch these videos and get educated as to who may represent you best.
Again, I have to tell you, I absolutely learned a lot during these interviews, so anyone out there thinking they know it all, (like I did) I strongly suggest you listen to these interviews and become educated.
Now, what's interesting is how many Candidates who may have been a bit sceptical about doing an interview with Joe Albero have viewed what we have provided so far and have held a conversation with other candidates and learned, we're straight up. There are NO CURVE BALLS, no tricks up our sleeve and everyone serious about running for Office have placed a call to make an appointment for tomorrow/Thursday. This will be our FINAL day of interviews and considering we booked so many candidates very early into this, no one can use the excuse they weren't aware we were providing such a service.
If you're a candidate that would like to be interviewed, TODAY is your last chance to sign up for Thursday's taping.
To those candidates who took the time to come to my Downtown Office, THANK YOU! I mean this with all my heart, it has been an unbelievable learning experience for me. I thank you for trusting me and allowing Salisbury News to deliver something no one has ever done before. I truly hope this sets the bar for the MSM as each election is extremely important and educating each viewer is vital in getting our Country back in shape again.
We will provide this service again once the primary is over. In the mean time, be there this Thursday or Fagetaboutit!

Gibbs Suggests Climate Measures Could Be Added To Senate Bill
Climate measures could be added in conference to an energy bill the Senate will take up this week, according to the White House.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he wouldn’t rule out adding some climate measures to the legislation in conference, assuming a scaled-down energy bill passes the Senate.
The measure in the Senate drops the language from the House dealing with climate change and carbon emissions. By dropping those controversial measures, Democrats hope they can pass a bill through the Senate before lawmakers leave for the August recess.
“I don’t think the bill is essentially dead for the year,” Gibbs said. “The House passed a very strong and very comprehensive energy bill last year. The Senate is going to take up a version that is more scaled down, but still has some important aspects, particularly dealing with how we deal with oil spills in the future.”
He added: “I don’t think that closes the door. Once a bill passes each house, it doesn’t close the door to having some sort of conference.”
President Obama said in a Rose Garden statement earlier Tuesday, after a meeting with bipartisan leadership of both the House and Senate, that he only supports the Senate bill as a beginning.

Dems Deny ‘Secret Plan’ For Lame Duck Session
The head of House Democrats’ campaign committee tried Tuesday to tamp down speculation that the party would try to push through major legislation during a lame-duck session of Congress this fall.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), the assistant to the Speaker and chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), said “no one should think there’s some secret plan for after the election on big issues.”
“There’s no secret or overt plan to do something like that,” he told MSNBC.
But Democrats will face a lot of unfinished business when they return to Washington after November’s elections — likely with a smaller majority or even possibly having been relegated to the minority for the 112th Congress. They have yet to tackle immigration reform, climate change and so-called card-check legislation on union organizing, a bill that’s strongly opposed by Republicans.
Another major issue: the George W. Bush-era tax cuts set to expire at year’s end. Because of the political difficulty of tackling tax rates, it seems likely the issue will be taken up only after voters have weighed in at the ballot box.
GOP leaders and conservative activists have increasingly warned that Democrats, who seem likely to lose seats in both the House and Senate, could use the year-end session to ram through big-ticket legislative items that probably wouldn’t pass once the new Congress is seated in January.
Led by House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), Republicans on Tuesday called on voters to pressure rank-and-file Democrats to swear off doing just that.
Boehner asked Democratic members’ constituents to use town hall meetings and other opportunities during the August recess to confront them on their post-election legislative plans.
“We should all be calling on the Democrats to pledge that they won’t do this,” the minority leader said at his weekly press availability.

United Republicans Block Campaign Disclosure Bill
In a blow to President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats, Republicans blocked a bill on Tuesday to require an unprecedented level of public disclosure of who pays for political campaign advertising.
On a Senate vote of 57-41, Democrats fell short of the needed 60 to clear a procedural hurdle Republicans set up against The Disclose Act, likely killing the measure for the year.
"This bill represents another attempt by my colleagues to rush through legislation that restricts freedom and creates more federal regulation," said Senator John Cornyn, who heads Republican efforts to pickup seats in the Democratic-led chamber in the November election.
Rejection of the measure comes a week after a potentially fatal setback to Obama's push to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Short on votes, Senate Democrats indefinitely postponed their bid to pass broad legislation to combat climate change.
With Obama's support, Democrats crafted the campaign finance bill in response to a Supreme Court decision in January that overturned federal and state limits on independent expenditures by corporations to support or oppose candidates.

Senator Kerry Snaps Over Yacht Tax Scandal
Sen. John Kerry on Monday snapped at reporters and tried to dodge questions about his new $7 million, 76-foot yacht.
On Friday, the Boston Herald reported that the Massachusetts Democrat had berthed his yacht Isabel in Rhode Island and suggested he was seeking to avoid paying about $437,000 in sales tax and an annual excise tax of around $70,000 that would be levied if he berthed the vessel in Massachusetts.
Rhode Island has no sales tax on yachts.
Following his first public appearance since the story broke, Kerry tried to dash off to his SUV but was intercepted by reporters who asked about the yacht controversy.
“Wait a minute. Let’s get this straight,” Kerry snapped. “I’ve said consistently we’ll pay our taxes. We’ve always paid our taxes. It’s not an issue, period!”

Former Surgeon General: Kagan's Alt Eration Of Statement ‘Unethical’ And ‘Disgraceful’
In an open letter delivered last week, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop is urging senators to vote against Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court, in light of her role in the alteration of a medical statement about partial-birth abortion from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
“I was deeply disturbed to learn the Elena Kagan, the nominee for Supreme Court scheduled for a Senate committee vote next week, manipulated the medical policy statement on partial-birth abortion of a major medical organization, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in January 1997,” Koop wrote in his letter.
As CNSNews.com has reported, in 1996, when she was associate White House counsel in the Clinton White House, Kagan obtained a preliminary draft of ACOG’s “Statement on Intact Dilatation and Extraction.” (Intact Dilatation and Extraction, or “Intact D&X,” is a form of partial-birth abortion.)
She wrote in a December 14, 1996, memo that “it would be disaster” if the statement were released or leaked because it stated that “[A] select panel convened by ACOG could identify no circumstances under which [the partial-birth] procedure . . . would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman.”
As Kagan admitted recently in her testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, that language she “suggested” -- that was eventually added to ACOG’s final statement -- was written in her handwriting and found in her Clinton Library files. The added language stated: “An intact D&X, however, may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of a woman.”
This added language that partial-birth abortion “may be the best or most appropriate procedure” was later specifically quoted in the Supreme Court case Stenberg v. Carhart Opinion of the Court that struck down Nebraska’s ban on partial-birth abortion.

H.R. 5741 Slave Bill Now In Committee
Slavery has a new name: “Mandatory Service”, introduced July 15th 2010 by Charles Rangle.
H.R. 5741 will give the president the authority “To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.”
Barely a year after introducing H.R. 1444, which was supposed to form a “Congressional Commission on Civic Service to study methods of improving and promoting volunteerism and national service, and for other purposes”, Congress has upped the ante. Anyone between 18 and 42 will be eligible for a two year commitment of civilian or military service. With more college graduates working for the fast food industry, a depression era unemployment rate and less people retiring; the government will have plenty of eligible able bodies to move into the slave ranks.

Jeb On 2012 Run: Thanks, But No Thanks
Bush brother says he's 'not running for president.'
D.C. flacks like to complain that sometimes a juicy Washington narrative can take on a life of its own based on nothing but rumors. It was certainly the case last week when, seemingly out of nowhere, Jeb Bush was widely floated as a candidate in the race for the 2012 GOP nomination.
ABC News picked up on the fact that Bush’s personal Web site, Jeb.org, was empty, which could mean only that he was preparing to fill it with a presidential platform. Other strategists suggested that with the former Florida governor’s low profile, moderate stances, and fluent Spanish, he could be a competitive candidate against Obama in two years.
Except for one tiny problem: he says he's not interested.
It’s possible he enjoyed the attention and speculation for a week, but earlier today, when asked by a local news anchor in Louisville, Ky., Bush laid it out flat: “I’m not running for president.”

STATE POLICE HELICOPTER HOIST RESCUES INJURED CLIMBER
Michaux State Forest, Cooke Township, Cumberland County, PA --
A Maryland State Police helicopter based in Frederick successfully performed a night hoist rescue from the side of a mountain, after an 18 year old female climber fell 15 feet and suffered traumatic injuries.
Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on July 26, 2010, an 18-year-old woman from Carlisle, PA was rock climbing with friends when she fell backward 15 feet off a rock, struck her head and lost consciousness. Due to the remote location of the victim, it took over an hour for Cumberland County EMS to reach the victim. The victim had head and chest injuries and as initial responders assessed the situation, it became apparent that a lengthy technical rescue would be required.
Officials from Cumberland County Fire Rescue requested assistance from the Maryland State Police Aviation Command for the hoist rescue. At 11:10 pm, SYSCOM, the communications center for the Maryland State Police Aviation Command, received the request for aerial rescue services.
Maryland State Police Helicopter Trooper 3, based in Frederick, was dispatched along with Frederick County Advanced Technical Rescue Team (ATR), which is standard operating procedure for aerial rescues. Maryland State Police helicopter Trooper 6, based in Easton, was also dispatched to support the mission. Trooper 6, flown by Pilot Jim Billings and Flight Paramedic Trooper First Class Adam LeCompte, landed at Frederick Municipal Airport and picked up additional ATR members Jamie Daily and Mike Smallwood, en-route to the Pennsylvania scene.
At 11:52 p.m., Trooper 3 was able to locate the victim in the remote forest area utilizing night vision goggles. The crew of Trooper 3, Pilot Craig Renier, and Flight Paramedic Trooper First Class Gregg Lantz, utilized the rescue hoist on the helicopter to deploy Frederick ATR team members Richard Lyons and Kurt Hornicek, who once at the scene prepared the victim to be hoisted. As Trooper 3 Pilot Renier held the aircraft steady, TFC Lantz operated the hoist.
By 12:15 a.m. today, the victim was extracted through a small hole in the canopy of trees and brought alongside the aircraft. Without landing, Trooper 3 moved the victim inside the helicopter, where TFC Lantz initiated patient care. The victim was ultimately transported to York Hospital, York, PA, for evaluation and is reported to be in stable condition.
This mission exemplifies continued successful coordination among the Maryland State Police Aviation Command, the all-volunteer, Frederick County Advanced Technical Rescue Team, and initial responding personnel. The successful completion of a combined rescue and medevac mission further illustrates the effectiveness and value of a multi-mission capable aircraft serving the citizens of Maryland on a daily basis; and, in this case, a citizen from a neighboring state.

CALVERT CO. MAN ARRESTED FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
(Owings, MD) – Members of the Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit have arrested a Calvert County man in connection with the possession and distribution of child pornography.
The accused is identified as Paul C. Stanley, 20, of the 600-block of Sycamore Lane, Owings, Md. Stanley was charged today with four counts of distributing child pornography, one count of making a false statement to a police officer, and one count of obstructing and hindering. If convicted, Stanley could be sentenced up to 41 years in prison and/or $100,000 in fines.
Earlier this month, a trooper assigned to the Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began the investigation after identifying a computer on the Internet that was offering pornographic videos of children for others to download. Troopers were able to trace the computer back to Stanley.
Early this morning, investigators executed a search warrant at Stanley’s Owings residence. The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office provided assistance during the search warrant and investigation.
Investigators made contact with Stanley at another residence and seized computers and other evidence. Stanley was arrested and is being held at the Calvert County Detention Center waiting to see a court commissioner for a bond hearing.
The Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force is comprised of police agencies from around the state. Its primary mission is to protect children from computer-facilitated sexual exploitation. The Task Force works cooperatively with law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to provide resources to combat these crimes. Additionally, the Task Force provides community awareness campaigns helping to prevent the spread of these crimes through education.

Microsurfacing: Paving The Road Ahead
A Cost Effective Approach To Pavement Management
Dover -- The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) informs motorists about the use of a new process known as microsurfacing, which is becoming a popular alternative to traditional hot-mix asphalt.
Microsurfacing is a thin, tough layer of asphalt emulsion containing aggregate (rocks), water and mineral fillers. It is used to seal cracks and prevent moisture from penetrating the road base. It is primarily used for preservation of the materials in existing hot-mix roadways, which is important as transportation officials look for cost-effective ways to stretch their pavement funding.
It is often most effective when the existing hot-mix surface is 5-7 years old and showing minimal signs of distress. Residents may wonder why a road is being rehabilitated when it appears to be in good condition, but this is the ideal time to do a preservation technique that will further extend the life of the underlying pavement and decrease the long-term maintenance cost of the roadway. If the roadway does exhibit signs of distress, patching and crack-sealing will be done prior to application of the microsurfacing materials.
Microsurfacing is being used on several roads throughout Delaware and provides a smoother road surface, a quieter ride and less loose material than traditional surface treatment (a.k.a tar and chip). When a road is first microsurfaced, it may present an initial rougher driver surface. This somewhat abrasive surface creates a more skid-resistant surface, thus increasing the safety of the road itself. However, as cars travel over the road, the stones and materials become compressed and smoother, ultimately resulting in a road surface that is nearly as smooth as traditional asphalt hot-mix overlay, but still course enough to prevent skidding.
"Motorists can equate microsurfacing to sealcoating a paved driveway. It's a form of maintenance that can be done periodically to preserve the original asphalt at a lower cost," says Jennifer Pinkerton, DelDOT's Pavement and Rehabilitation Program Manager.
The microsurfacing material is also being used to patch rutted roadways like those in the West Dover area. The material creates a smoother surface on the road without the complexities and cost of a full-scale pavement rehabilitation project. In addition, this material can be used during nighttime hours, and on roads with high traffic volumes. It can also be applied anytime during the year as it is not as temperature-sensitive. This lengthens the traditional summer paving season.

Brian Murphy, The Real Deal
THE REAL DEAL!At last nights Republican club meeting - Brian Murphy - candidate for Maryland Governor - positively shell shocked the attending audience with his vision for Maryland's political landscape.
Now as I have never met this gentlemen until last nights meeting - I can tell you first hand that he gained the attention, appreciation, and admiration of the listening audience. For me - It wasn't the same old rhetoric that I had heard being preached so many times before. But it was refreshing to see his impressive and bold demonstration of articulating a new vision for Maryland. One that would reign in a new era for those of us who are looking for a demonstrable change in Maryland politics.
In my estimation - Brian Murphy - is the only realistic choice for Maryland taxpayers who are looking to be placed at the 'top' of the totem pole as opposed to the bottom. His vision includes a very limited and restrained role of Maryland government - unlike the run-a-way train that had been experienced in recent years under both - a Republican and Democratic - Governor.
You see what separates Brian Murphy from either Ehrlich and O'Malley is that the gentlemen has not allowed himself to become 'tainted' by special interest groups like the teachers unions, insurance lobbyist, utility industry, and other special interest concerns.
Virtually all Marylanders are keenly aware that while under, both, O'Malley - (Democrat) - and Ehrlich - (Republican), that the size of our state government has increased dramatically - even despite the deepening recession.
Bottom line - for both Democrats and Republicans - it would be refreshing to see this gentlemen attain the rank of the Governorship and allow him the opportunity to try and usher-in a new direction for Marylanders.
For those of you who have not yet met and seen this individual - I encourage you to attend his very next public campaign function. I can guarantee you that you won't be disappointed. What happened at the Wicomico County Republican Club meeting this past Monday night - was spectacular to say the least.

Free GOOGLE Telephone Directory
I encourage you to watch the short video below about this service.
Here is something you will want to have and use ! I still remember when the telephone company charged me $0..00 now they charge $1.00 to $1.50 to get a phone number from information.
My compliments to Google!
Just leave it up to Google to come up with something like this!!!
Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-goog411. This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are driving on the road with no pen, pencil or paper handy.
Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number. I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed.
The voice at the other end says, "City & State." I say, " Garland , Texas ." He says, "Business, Name or Type of Service." I say, Firewheel Golf Course." He says, "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free!

What Is The Wicomico County Republican Central Committee?
The Wicomico County Republican Central Committee consist of nine individuals who are elected in the Republican Primary every four years.
These people are the face of the Republican Party in Wicomico County. These are your neighbors. People that you can call on the phone, e-mail or see out in public and ask about the Republican Party in Wicomico County.
Having served on the central committee from 1990-1998, I have decided to be a candidate again.
The central committee is more than a monthy meeting where member's opinions are voiced and two state conventions each year. Members of the committee should be seen at local political events and wear a badge telling that they are committee members. Let people know who you are.
The Wicomico County Republican Central Committee should also have a two year and a four year plan. I personally would like to see a retreat shortly after the committee reorganizes in November. At this retreat, a comprehensive plan could be established where not only the direction of the committee is defined but each of the nine members has a role with specific goals. There are resources available at little or no expense from the Maryland state party headquarters.
The web site should be kept up-to-date with the names of committee members, Republican Club officers and an application blank, and names of Republican elected officials. Dates of up coming events should also be publized.
The Republican Party is alive and well in Wicomico County. We just need to spread the word and let everyone share the good news.

GOVERNOR O’MALLEY UNVEILS PLANS FOR FIRST PHASE OF STATE CENTER REDEVELOPMENT
Phase One of Redevelopment to create New Office and Retail near Transit Hub and Support 1,200 Construction Jobs and Attract Another 800 Permanent Jobs in the Heart of Baltimore City
BALTIMORE, MD – Joined by local officials, construction workers, community leaders and others, Governor Martin O’Malley announced plans for the first phase of the landmark State Center redevelopment project in the heart of Baltimore City. Pending Board of Public Works approval tomorrow, the State will lease 500,000 square feet of newly developed office space in the first of two new buildings to be built on the 28-acre site by a state-selected private development team. The five-phase, 15-year redevelopment is the culmination of six years of planning, and is expected to bring nearly 10,000 jobs during the construction phase and more than 5,400 permanent, private-sector jobs to the heart of Baltimore City when the project is complete, in addition to more than 4,800 indirect and induced jobs upon the project’s completion.
“This is the beginning of an ambitious public-private partnership that will transform a stagnant, government office complex into a vibrant, walkable, ‘green space’ that will link nine surrounding communities, revitalize a key part of Baltimore City, and bring thousands of private-sector jobs to the heart of Baltimore,” said Governor O’Malley. “The state commitment to lease office space opens the door for the development team to seek the private funding necessary to build the project, a project that will assist Maryland’s economic recovery by supporting jobs and attracting new business to the area with work beginning this fall.”
The entire State Center redevelopment, a five-phase, 15-year plan, will create 9,403 jobs during construction and 5,439 permanent, private-sector jobs when the project is complete. An additional 4,862 indirect and induced jobs will be added upon the project’s completion.
“The O’Malley-Brown administration has been focused like a laser on job creation in Baltimore and throughout Maryland,” Mayor Rawlings-Blake said. “The State Center redevelopment is a tremendous opportunity for Baltimore, providing more job opportunities and new investment. The City of Baltimore will continue to work in strong partnership with the State to move this exciting project forward.”
The State Center redevelopment transforms an out-dated, 28-acre concrete complex valued at $1.8 million into multi-million dollar retail, commercial and residential transportation oriented development where the State is projected to be $144 million in the black by year 20. This is made possible by the use of the public private partnership which includes a projected $28 million in parking revenue, $30 million in ground rents and shared profits, and $160 million in new state taxes over the first 20 years of the project.
Phase One of State Center Redevelopment
The $215 million Phase One development at State Center will include two new office buildings and a parking garage. In addition to the 500,000 square feet of office space, the two buildings combined will include 70,000 square feet of street-level retail space, including a grocery store that the has been a priority for the surrounding communities for years. In addition to the 1,200 jobs supported by construction of Phase One, the project, when complete, will attract another 800 permanent jobs to the State Center site.
Over the next 20 years the first phase of the State Center redevelopment will generate more than $200 million in state and city taxes and another $30 million in lease payments to the State of Maryland. Phase One will Support 1,200 construction jobs and attract 800 permanent, private-sector direct jobs.
Phase One will construction two office buildings and a parking garage where a parking lot currently sits, creating 500,000 square feet of office space and 70,000 square feet of retail space, including a grocery store.
“This milestone follows three years of intensive planning, research and community involvement,” said Caroline Moore, Chief Executive Officer of Ekistics, LLC and the managing member of the private development team. “We have worked hand-in-hand with citizens and both state and city government to develop a concept that meets the various needs of the community and we have done it in award-winning fashion.”
Currently, State Center is home to four state government office buildings and 3,500 state employees, the largest concentration of state employees in Maryland. However, the layout of the existing complex hinders the ability of residents to move between the nine surrounding communities. The redevelopment of State Center will create a more pedestrian friendly environment, consolidating 14 state agencies and more than 3,500 state employees, in addition to employees and customers of added retail and commercial space, in a complex sits at the intersection of six different public transportation systems.
In May 2010, the overall $1.5 billion State Center redevelopment project received a Charter Award from the Congress on New Urbanism as one of the seven best urban smart growth projects in the world. The 28-acre State Center site will be redeveloped in five phases over fifteen years converting the property from an underutilized government owned and operated office campus into a mix of privately owned and operated office, retail and mixed income residential units, forming a green, walkable community adjacent to Metro, Light Rail and MARC transit stations.
The State Center redevelopment project is a transit oriented development that reflects the goals of Governor O’Malley’s Smart, Green and Growing initiative. Introduced in October 2008, the Smart, Green & Growing initiative was created to strengthen the state’s leadership role in fostering smarter, more sustainable growth and inspire action among all Marylanders to achieve a more sustainable future. The initiative brings together state agencies, local governments, businesses and citizens to create more livable communities, improve transportation options, reduce the state’s carbon footprint, support resource based industry, invest in green technologies, preserve valuable resource lands and restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
State Center is the second major public-private partnership to move forward under Governor O’Malley in the past year. In November 2009, the State agreed to lease operation of Seagirt Marine terminal at the Port of Baltimore to Ports America Chesapeake. The State maintains ownership of Seagirt while day to day operations and capital investments are now the responsibility of Ports America Chesapeake. As part of the agreement, Ports America Chesapeake is now constructing a new 50-foot berth at Seagirt using private funds. The new berth is critical to the future success of the Port of Baltimore as an expansion of the Panama Canal will bring larger ships to the US East Coast when completed in 2014. In total, the Seagirt agreement will support 5,700 jobs.

Ehrlich authored the historic legislation, which the Chesapeake Bay Foundation called, “a huge victory for the Bay, the most significant environmental advance in Maryland in nearly 20 years.” Ehrlich will discuss the O’Malley Administration’s decision to drain the Bay Restoration Fund of $155 million that would have been used to reduce pollution flowing into the Bay from outdated wastewater treatment plants. The Back River is home to one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the region, which is slated for sorely-needed upgrades thanks to the Bay Restoration Act. Bob Ehrlich will be joined by Back River advocates who have launched ambitious efforts to restore the river’s health.

Community Concerns - THE RESULTS ARE IN!
Below, please find the results as received from the Wicomico Neighborhood Congress Community Concerns Committee. Kudos goes out to Dot Truitt, John Bonas and Dexter Lunsford who head up the committee. The information and data that has been compiled is outstanding. Thank you also goes out to all WNC members who participated.
WNC Community Concerns Questionnaire Results
An analysis of the results of the 28 questionnaires we received was done. Most of the returns were from Salisbury, but some were from outside of the city: Hebron (1), Fruitland (2), Delmar (1), Riverton (1), and one each from Hunting Park and Nutter's Crossing that we assume are not within the Salisbury City limits.
The raw data was placed on an Excel spreadsheet and the means calculated for the responses to each question, along with the standard deviations. Some respondents didn't answer all of the questions, while a few gave answers to the "other" with explanation; most did not. We included all answers and non-answers in the analysis. (We have not included the explanations to the "other" in the analysis, but the raw data are available.)
We believe that our analysis of the means will offer a quick understanding of the results, which follows below: (Consider that the "3" response to a question is a mid-point response. Respondents who give greater than 3 feel somewhat strongly or strongly about a question; those who answer with less than 3, feel somewhat less than strongly or weakly about a question. The number "5" is the highest response level, while "1" is the lowest.)
Highest Means
Question
#3e: 4.18 -- Violent crime (dislike)
#4e: 4.04 -- Develop coalitions
#2a: 3.93 -- Rural character (like)
#4a: 3.82 -- Lobby politicians
#2b: 3.61 -- Access to recreation (like)
#4c: 3.57 -- Letters to government officials
#4d2: 3.57 -- Seek grants
#4d1: 3.39 -- Monitor criminal justice
#2c: 3.32 -- Friendly people (like)
#2e: 3.25 -- Educational opportunities (like)
Lowest Means
Question
#4b: 1.75 -- Mount demonstrations
#3g: 2.46 -- Government corruption (dislike)
#3b: 2.50 -- Water/sewer fees (dislike)
#2d: 2.54 -- Cultural attractions (like)
#3c: 2.64 -- Lack of cultural attractions (dislike)
#3f: 2.68 -- Lack of public transport (dislike)
#3a: 2.79 -- Taxes (dislike)
#2f: 2.96 -- Community spirit (like)
#3d: 2.96 -- Excess development (dislike)
Our conclusions:
1. We received 28 responses from a total WNC membership of more than 60. Clearly, many did not respond to the questionnaire. We ought to try for more responses.
2. Most of the respondents were from Salisbury or its immediate surrounding areas. This means that a lot of the issues affecting Salisbury also affect the "suburbs." Exceptions to this may come from the outlier locations such as Hebron and Riverton. Therefore, a majority of the responses may be similar reflecting City attitudes and concerns.
3. More should be done to attract membership from other parts of the county; the further from Salisbury, the better. This would enable the WNC to obtain a better cross-section of views from all reaches of Wicomico County.
