IMPORTANT LOST DOG POST

Mr. A, about 12:30 this afternoon my 79 year old mothers dog went missing. She lives at the corner of Esham and Old Ocean City Road. It's a small poodle white, he is about 18 years old. He can't see or hear well cause of age. His name is "Peppie".

The hard thing about this is my mother went to look for him and saw him on Esham Road. She then went back and told my brother. He left to go get Peppie, when he came back our Mom was gone.

After looking in the area for over an hour (knowing our Mom can't walk long or far) we called the Police to help us. Before the police got there we got a call from one of her neighbors that his dog had attacked her and he had taken her to PRMC. She may have to have skin grafts on her lower left leg.

What I need help with is Peppie. This is my Moms dog, she loves this dog and he has never and I mean never left his yard before. I feel like animals do maybe he went off to die and didn't want Mom to see this. PLEASE, if anyone sees him please me at 443-359-2599. Please help me bring Peppie home. map

Narrative: On 9 March 2010 at 9:16 PM, Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a reported altercation in the 700 block of Edgar Drive in Salisbury. Upon arrival the deputies learned that a male victim had been home when he was visited by Christopher Cadejuste. It would be learned that Cadejuste was the current boyfriend of the victim’s former girlfriend. Cadejuste came to the victim’s residence because he was apparently upset over an earlier altercation involving the victim and Cadejuste’s girlfriend. Both the victim and Cadejuste went outside to speak, when that erupted into a physical altercation. During this, Cadejuste produced what appeared to be semi-automatic handgun according to witnesses and began firing into the face of the victim, at very close range, putting the victim on the ground.

Upon arrival, the deputies learned that Cadejuste used a .BB gun that closely resembled a Colt.45 handgun. Cadejuste was gone upon the arrival of the deputies but was subsequently located in the parking lot of the Fruitland Wal-Mart by the Fruitland Police. A box of .BB’s and the .BB gun used in the assault were also recovered.

Cadejuste was transported to the Central Booking Unit where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance he was held in the Detention Center without bond.

Bogus Comcast Modem Charges

Joe,

Thanks for all you do! I have something some of your readers maybe interested in.

Several years ago when Comcast had a deal on internet service you could purchase a modem from several available retailers and got cable access for reduced rate for 6 months. My wife pays all the bills and I never looked at the Comcast bill.

I happened to see it last week and it had a modem rental fee of $5. Apparently they had been charging us $3 until last fall when it went to $5.

I called and was able to get 6 months refund on the charge and it dropped from my bill. They have been dipping for 8 years or so. The bills if you have TV as well are pretty complicated and many of your readers may be getting taken as well.

Counterfeit Currency

The Salisbury Police Department is currently investigating several cases in which counterfeit one hundred (100) dollar bills have been passed at local businesses. In each incident, the counterfeit one hundred (100) dollar bills have been used to buy items of less than ten (10) dollars and the passer receives the change in authentic currency. This has occurred in businesses that are located in the north shopping corridor of Salisbury, including the Centre at Salisbury. The counterfeit one hundred (100) dollar bills have been printed over authentic five (5) dollar bills, which enable the currency to pass when tested by currency detection pens. However, when one holds up the bill you can see that the watermark is Abraham Lincoln, indicating that the bill is a five (5) and not a one hundred (100). The bills also indicate “five” in the authentication strip.

The Salisbury Police are urging any business that receives a one hundred (100) dollar bill to examine the bill against a light source to check the watermark and authentication stripe, rather than merely using an authentication pen.

There are two (2) suspects that have passed these counterfeit bills and they are described as:

White female, 5’09”, 140 pounds, shoulder length curly black hair, wearing a long black coat with a dark red shirt beneath the coat.


Black male, 6’02”, 220 pounds, 35 to 40 years of age, wearing a dark blue jacket with a light blue shirt.

If anyone has any information regarding the above named suspects they are asked to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 410-548-3165 or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776. Information may be provided anonymously.

The House Vote On The Senate Healthcare Bill Is The Final Vote; Obama Will Sign It Into Law

The House Vote on the Senate Healthcare Bill Is the Final Vote; Obama Will Sign It Into Law
http://www.redstate.com/susananne/2010/03/05/the-house-vote-on-the-senate-healthcare-bill-is-the-final-vote-obama-will-sign-it-into-law/

Americans need to understand the devastating significance of the House vote on the Senate health care bill set for March 18th. The Democrats have–by design–created the perfect storm to take over the US healthcare system, while providing an ideal distraction–reconciliation.

First, let’s examine exactly how we got here. In late December, while Americans were arguing that no one had read the bill, Leiberman was posturing to vote against the bill with a public option, and the debate on abortion continued, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) took an existing HOUSE-passed bill, H.R.3950–the Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009–and here’s how it unfolded:

10/8/2009:Received in the Senate. Read the first time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under Read the First Time.10/13/2009: Read the second time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 175.11/19/2009: Motion to proceed to consideration of measure made in Senate. (consideration: CR S11578)11/19/2009: Cloture motion on the motion to proceed to the bill presented in Senate. (consideration: CR S11578; text: CR S11578)11/20/2009: Motion to proceed to consideration of measure considered in Senate. (consideration: CR S11826-11879, S11888-11903)11/21/2009: Motion to proceed to consideration of measure considered in Senate. (consideration: CR S11907-11967)11/21/2009: Cloture on the motion to proceed to the bill invoked in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 60 - 39. Record Vote Number: 353. (consideration: CR S11967; text: CR S11967)11/21/2009: Motion to proceed to consideration of measure agreed to in Senate by Unanimous Consent.11/21/2009: Measure laid before Senate by motion. (consideration: CR S11967)11/21/2009: S.AMDT.2786 Amendment SA 2786 proposed by Senator Reid. (consideration: CR S11967)In the nature of a substitute. emphasis mine

The GOP must have known what was about to happen next because they were united in voting “Nay” against this bill on November 21, 2009. Additionally, the Senate Amendment offered by Reid was none other than the Senate version of the healthcare bill.

Reid HAD to do this. Why? Because all legislation that raises taxes MUST originate in the House of Representatives and H.R. 3590 satisfies that requirement.I will repeat that, Harry Reid switched the language in H.R. 3590 and replaced it with the Senate’s version of the health care system takeover in order to satisfy the requirement for all legislation raising taxes to originate in the House. The bill summary outlines the evolution of this bill:

OFFICIAL TITLE AS INTRODUCED:To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the first-time homebuyers credit in the case of members of the Armed Forces and certain other Federal employees, and for other purposes.

OFFICIAL TITLE AS AMENDED BY SENATE:An act entitled The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

For the record, Republicans did challenge this amendment substitution, but were defeated. The simple fact that the Democrats voted on Reid’s “amendment” is appalling and demonstrates their condoning of the abuses we are seeing unfold. Democrat Senators are now willing accomplices to the destruction and socialization of the US health system.

The deceptive practices to pass a government takeover of healthcare can be summed up as the ultimate betrayal by the Democrats against the American people in order to ram through their progressive, socialistic, freedom-stripping policies.

Furthermore, the Democrats talk of “reconciliation” or the nuclear option is nothing more than a diversion from what the real goal is–to pass the Senate version through the House and then have Obama sign it into law.

And once signed into law, does anyone really think that Obama will keep his promises of the “fixes” through the reconciliation process after he got what he wanted via the Senate bill? Seriously, he will have the healthcare takeover he wants, so why make the House and Senate suffer more.

In addition, I don’t think that the House will hold the bill to work out differences between the two chambers as is being floated. While it may be an optional maneuver, the Democrats need the tax increases to take effect now so they can offset some of their rabid spending.

The House Democrats have a choice: either stand with the American people and kill the bill or endorse the deception, betrayal, and bribes of Harry Reid, Obama, Pelosi, and the Senate Democrats, in addition to the destruction of the US health system. Either way, the American people will never forget.

Folks, If There Was Ever A Post I Wanted You To Read, This One Is It

This morning we Posted an article that is extremely important and may not be getting the attention it deserves.

The Post is titled, Joe Vallario Set To Kill Child Predator Laws With No Committee Vote

Please read this article as it has everything to do with Sarah Foxwell and our local Delegates attempt to strengthen sex offender laws in the state of Maryland.

Once I learned of this article last night I contacted Delegate Jim Mathias and he immediately alarmed the rest of the Delegates of this information and assures me that they are on it. He also stated that they tied 254 & 963 together so it wouldn't just disappear.

For the thousands of people who participated in the Sarah Foxwell search, please follow up on the first comment to this Post. "I would like to ask everyone to call 1-800-492-7122 ext. 3488. Mr. Vallario CAN NOT bury this bill, because we had to bury Sarah."

The Daily Times Cuts Off The Shore Stop Near The Twilley Center

This past Sunday one of our viewers went to the Shore Stop on Mt. Hermon Road to purchase their Sunday Paper and came to learn they didn't have any papers for sale.

When they asked where the stand was, one employee explained how the Daily Times had come in and removed their stand and informed them that they were some $2,000.00 behind in payments.

Considering the Daily Times is a COD account, (says the employee at Shore Stop) being told you're $2,000.00 in arrears simply didn't make any sense. I wasn't there, so I really cannot comment on that.

So much for a "convenience store" eh? I did stop by our local Shore Stop and while they were out of the Sunday Paper, they claimed they were still getting their delivery.

All that being said, I did come to learn that even though the Daily Times spent $3.5 million on a new Press to print the paper as well as the Comics and Sale Ads, they are in fact getting that portion of the Sunday and weekly paper printed in Wilmington and NOT here in Salisbury. So we were right, the Daily Times is farming out a portion of their paper. Is this the beginning of the end?

Is Recreational Fishing Next?

The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.

This announcement comes at the time when the situation supposedly still is "fluid" and the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force still hasn't issued its final report on zoning uses of these waters.

That's a disappointment, but not really a surprise for fishing industry insiders who have negotiated for months with officials at the Council on Environmental Quality and bureaucrats on the task force. These angling advocates have come to suspect that public input into the process was a charade from the beginning.

"When the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) completed their successful campaign to convince the Ontario government to end one of the best scientifically managed big game hunts in North America (spring bear), the results of their agenda had severe economic impacts on small family businesses and the tourism economy of communities across northern and central Ontario," said Phil Morlock, director of environmental affairs for Shimano.

"Now we see NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the administration planning the future of recreational fishing access in America based on a similar agenda of these same groups and other Big Green anti-use organizations, through an Executive Order by the President. The current U.S. direction with fishing is a direct parallel to what happened in Canada with hunting: The negative economic impacts on hard working American families and small businesses are being ignored.

"In spite of what we hear daily in the press about the President's concern for jobs and the economy and contrary to what he stated in the June order creating this process, we have seen no evidence from NOAA or the task force that recreational fishing and related jobs are receiving any priority."

Consequently, unless anglers speak up and convince their Congressional representatives to stop this bureaucratic freight train, it appears that the task force will issue a final report for "marine spatial planning" by late March, with President Barack Obama then issuing an Executive Order to implement its recommendations — whatever they may be.

Led by NOAA's Jane Lubchenco, the task force has shown no overt dislike of recreational angling, but its indifference to the economic, social and biological value of the sport has been deafening.

Additionally, Lubchenco and others in the administration have close ties to environmental groups who would like nothing better than to ban recreational angling. And evidence suggests that these organizations have been the engine behind the task force since before Obama issued a memo creating it last June.

ID Card For Workers At Center Of Immigration Plan

Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.

Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.

The ID card plan is one of several steps advocates of an immigration overhaul are taking to address concerns that have defeated similar bills in the past.

The uphill effort to pass a bill is being led by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), who plan to meet with President Barack Obama as soon as this week to update him on their work. An administration official said the White House had no position on the biometric card.

"It's the nub of solving the immigration dilemma politically speaking," Mr. Schumer said in an interview. The card, he said, would directly answer concerns that after legislation is signed, another wave of illegal immigrants would arrive. "If you say they can't get a job when they come here, you'll stop it."

LORA Hosts Big Gala Event At Chef Fred's

The Local Owners Restaurant Association, (LORA) held their big Gala Event at Chef Fred's this year. The event was such a hit, they took up all of the banquet rooms, the dining room and even the Bar. Samples of Western Style food was served by many of the local restaurants.

My favorites, Vinny's Laroma was the best. Breaktime Billiards had a dip that was the best seafood dip I have ever had, yes, even better than all of the crab dips I have experienced here on the Eastern Shore. Chef Fred's served their notorious Prime Rib and as always it was fantastic. Too many delicious food to mention but I will add, Cakes By David served deserts that were to die for!

If you've never attended one of these Gala Events, put this on your calendar each year. Randy Lee Ashcraft entertained the huge crowd and the auction they held was actually one of the best I've seen in quite some time.

Compromise Reached On Storm-Water Pollution Rules

Deal lets current projects proceed under less stringent rules

Builders, environmentalists and government officials have reached a compromise in a looming legislative fight that threatened to weaken Maryland's new storm-water pollution rules, they said Monday.

The deal, hammered out over more than a week of negotiations, would head off a move by lawmakers in Annapolis to soften or delay by up to a decade the requirements for controlling runoff from development, which are supposed to take effect May 4.

Environmentalists were girding for a major battle to defend the rules, which were written to tackle a significant and growing source of pollution that is fouling streams, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

"Not everybody's going to be happy," said Del. Maggie L. McIntosh, chairwoman of the House Environmental Matters Committee, who pushed the feuding parties to work out their differences. But she added, "We have not changed any of the specifications within those regulations - we've just allowed a transition period. And we have, I think, given a little bit more consideration to redevelopment projects."
