Suspect: 1. Charles E. Vane, 18, Quantico, MD
2. Ekoye E. Spates, 18, Salisbury, MD
3. Ricky S. Sanabria, 17, Hebron, MD

Narrative: On 20 April 2010 at 10:27 PM, the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office received a call in reference to an armed robbery that had just occurred in the parking lot of the Royal Farms store at 7900 Royalty Way in Salisbury. Upon arrival, the deputies located four individuals who stated they had been accosted at gun point at the Royal Farms store. Their account stated that while in the parking lot, three individuals pulled next to them in a white Chevrolet Camaro and two of the occupants point handguns at them and demanded money. One of the victims stated he gave the subjects cash and they then fled the area.

During the investigation, deputies managed to identify a possible suspect involved and went to his residence in the Hebron area where they located the white Camaro.

Upon arrival, Charles Vane and Ekoye Spates were still inside the vehicle. Ricky Sanabria was also located on the property.

Deputies located two loaded 9mm semi-automatic handguns, both with a chambered round, inside the Camaro.

After further investigation deputies placed Van, Spates and Sanabria under arrest for the Armed Robbery. One of the suspects, Ekoye Spates, was also discovered to be in possession of cocaine. All three were 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 lieu of $500,000.00 bond each.

Charges: Robbery / Handgun in Felony/ Assault 1st Degree/ Assault 2nd degree / Handgun in Vehicle

SALISBURY SEWAGE PLANT LAWSUIT TO BE TRIED RIGHT HERE!

The Federal court in Baltimore has said thanks, but no thanks, to the engineer firm Obrien & Gere that the City of Salisbury has sued for its alleged bad design, etc. of the facility that still (?) does not work properly. This is a victory of sorts for the home team, as it will mean a local jury trial, which the City has demanded, and somewhat lower legal fees and costs of litigation.

And now the brawl can proceed before our very eyes!

Massive Manual PC Cleanup Expected After McAfee Error

News reports and Twitter chatter suggest thousands of Windows PCs in large organizations around the globe were thrown into fits of rebooting yesterday after antivirus giant McAfee distributed a routine update carrying an egregious error.

Now each one of those computers will have to be manually cleaned. Affected organizations can expect to expend a minimum of 30 minutes of manual labor per PC to get each one back into working order, says Steve Shillingford, CEO of tech forensics firm Solera Networks.

"There's no way to automate the process," says Amrit Williams, CTO of security management system company Big Fix. "It will take however long it takes to touch each single machine. The companies affected by this could be dealing with this for days or weeks."

In a blog posting late Wednesday, McAfee executive vice president Barry McPherson said "less than one half of one percent of our enterprise accounts globally" were affected. "McAfee teams are working with the highest priority to support impacted customers," he says.

Buying Green Won't Change A Thing

On the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, Let’s ... Go Shopping!

Buying green and changing personal behavior won't save the planet.

With apologies to a cliché that predates the advent of Earth Day by a year, it is easy being green. Too easy. From adorable reusable shopping bags and organic clothing to hemp shower curtains (no nasty petroleum-based vinyl liner!) and "natural is now fun!" beauty products for girls, the proliferation of green products makes doing our bit for the planet a blast, since Americans can combine environmentalism with their favorite sport, shopping. Indeed, a Gallup poll released this month finds that large majorities of Americans are shopping for the good of the planet: 76 percent said they'd bought a product specifically because they thought it was better for the environment.

Shopping for the planet is just one manifestation of how green activism has gone seriously off course as it has spread a gospel of personal change rather than collective action. Of the Nature Conservancy's five recommendations for Earth Day, four—figure out your carbon footprint here, time your shower, go for a walk (!), and find a farmers’ market—involve individual behavior. Only a single suggestion, "speak up on climate change" by letting lawmakers know you support the energy and climate bill that Sens. Kerry, Lieberman, and Graham plan to introduce this week, gets at the only kind of change that has been shown in the 40 years since the first Earth Day to make a difference.

BREAKING NEWS: Home Sales Surge Amid Government Incentives

Sales of existing homes surged 6.8 percent in March, more than expected

WASHINGTON - Home sales rose more than expected in March, reversing three months of declines, as government incentives drew in buyers and kicked off what's expected to be a strong spring selling season.

The National Association of Realtors says sales of previously occupied homes rose 6.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.35 million last month, the highest level since December. February's sales figures were revised downward slightly to 5.01 million.

Sales had been expected to rise about 5.2 percent to 5.28 million, according to economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters.

Mock Crash At Wi-Hi

Early this morning the WCSO, SPD & the SFD conducted a "Mock Crash" at Wi-Hi. It was announced that this was the biggest attendance they had ever had.

I was personally surprised at how they produced this event and I'm confident the students learned a few things about drinking and driving, especially during Prom Week.

After they finished outside they assembled in the auditorium where key speakers Sheriff Mike Lewis and John Holloway spoke openly with students from all over the County. We will produce a video this evening of Sheriff Mike Lewis' speech as I want to make sure all young children who did not attend are forced to sit down in front of Salisbury News to watch his message. It was very powerful.

More to come.

In case you were getting over your anger at the passage of the radical Obamacare bill, the left is intending to push forward on other radical issues yet this year. It is obvious that they have decided that they don’t care what Americans think and they won’t be deterred by the specter of losing seats in Congress. They are determined to get it done while they have complete control. One Republican Senator, Lindsey Graham is giving the Democrats “bi-partisan support.” In case you would like to communicate with Senator Graham, his phone number is 202-224-5972.

Democrats Ready Radical Agenda

Democrats in the House and Senate are gearing up for a major push to advance their radical agenda while they still have an overwhelming advantage on Capitol Hill. Last week, Roll Call reported that House Democrats plan to pass a major homosexual rights bill called ENDA by May. Reuters notes that cap and trade legislation will be unveiled in the Senate by the end of month, and Politico reports that Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid met late yesterday and agreed to bring up an amnesty bill for illegal immigrants this year. Each issue is a priority of the far Left.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) elevates homosexual behavior to the same protected legal status as race and religion. Business owners and institutions that adhere to Judeo-Christian values will be forced to compromise their beliefs if this legislation passes. And this year, Democrats have taken their extremism to a new level by including special protections for transgenderism and gender identity – whatever those are. With unemployment hovering near 10% and out-of-control deficit spending, why is appeasing the militant homosexual movement so high on the Democrats’ “to do” list?

If that radical assault on our values wasn’t bad enough, Obama’s allies in the Senate, led by Massachusetts liberal John Kerry, are pushing legislation to tax and regulate carbon. We live in a carbon-based economy, so when you hear “carbon,” think energy. Democrats want to tax and regulate energy production.

Think about everything you do in the course of a day that requires energy in any form. How many of you flip a light switch first thing in the morning? Do you drive to work? Use a computer or other machines? Do you like air condition in the summer? All of it will be taxed more if the Left gets its way. If you thought unemployment was bad now, wait until this massive job-killing tax hike leads to $7.00 a gallon gas.

And then there’s “immigration reform.” With this leftwing president and this liberal Congress, it can only mean one thing: amnesty. Reports indicate that President Obama has already started calling members of the Senate to push the issue. But I don’t think the public is in any mood for amnesty. In fact, the Arizona legislature just passed one of the toughest anti-illegal immigration laws in the country. A new Rasmussen poll finds that 70% of likely voters support the law, including 69% of Independent voters and even 51% of Democrats. Moreover, 73% say that securing the border is more important than legalizing “undocumented workers.”

With unemployment so high, there’s no shortage of workers – there’s a shortage of jobs. This is not the time to legalize millions of illegal aliens. But Obama and his allies may well need millions of new voters as the country turns against their radical agenda.

Still Falling

A new Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters finds that President Obama’s 44% approval rating is “his lowest approval rating since his inauguration.” On specific issues, 55% disapprove of his handling of the economy and healthcare. Among Independent voters, Obama is running a 12-point deficit – 38% approve and 50% disapprove. According to Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, “The White House had predicted passage of the health care overhaul would boost his fortunes, but that has not been the case, and that legislation itself remains decidedly unpopular.”

But at least that’s better than the Democrat-dominated Congress. Just 20% of registered voters (16% of Independent voters) approve of Congress’ job performance.

While we’re on the subject of polls, a new CNN poll finds that 73% of Americans want President Obama to nominate a moderate (37%) or a conservative (36%) to the Supreme Court. But 61% expect Obama will nominate another liberal to the high court.

Interestingly, the same poll found increasing support for the right to life. Just 34% of adults said abortion should be legal in most or all circumstances, while 64% said abortion should be illegal or legal in only a few circumstances. Two years ago, those numbers were 37% and 61%.

Unfortunately, I guarantee that this radical president will nominate a liberal, pro-abortion justice who is committed to Roe v. Wade’s abortion-on-demand regime.

Telemarketing Scam

Joe-

I just got a call from somebody claiming to represent an organization that "helps terminally ill cancer patients in their struggle."

I asked if it was a solicitation, and the girl dodged the question.

I told her we are on the Do Not Call list.

She said "We are exempt from that-- we are a non-profit."

She was very pushy.

I told her to put us on their Do Not Call list and not to call anymore.

That's when she started ranting-- she said "You don't want to help? You won't help these people??"

She was interrupting, rude,and very aggressive-- trying to intimidate me.

Typical behavior of a scam.

Beware.. if they call, just hang up.

Prayers Needed

Joe,

I would like to let our community that a Friend is in PRMC and in need of our prayers.

Barbra Mixter had a lung transplant some years ago. Because of her transplant from a donor, Barbra and Steve were determined to give back in some way.

As Steve is a car guy (64GTO), they were the driving force behind forming the Wheels That Heal Car Club.

WTHCC started with a few people and today we are around 85 members and families.

During this time Barbra was on the donation committee charged with finding worthy recipients of the donations raised by WTHCC.

Over the years WTHCC has run the Cruise For A Cause in the fall. Thousands of dollars have been raised and given to people in need.

Remember the little boy burned by a BBQ fire near Pittsville/Whaleyville. He and his family were one of those helped by the Car folks.

All of the Car community is supportive of the Mixters during this time.

I hope folks will say a little prayer for a Family that has given so much to the community.

Thanks,
Dave

Calling For Reform, Obama Warns Of More Crises

President condemns ‘failure of responsibility’ in Washington and Wall St

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama will urge Congress Thursday not to let the chance for an overhaul of Wall Street regulations slip away and will warn of the risk of another financial crisis if reforms are not enacted.

In a speech in New York laying out his case for legislation to crack down on Wall Street regulation, Obama will tap into widespread anger at large financial institutions by highlighting the impact of the 2008-2009 financial crisis on the broader economy. The speech is scheduled for 11:55 a.m. ET.

"One of the most significant contributors to this recession was a financial crisis as dire as any we've known in generations," Obama will say, according to excerpts from his speech released by the White House.
