It was amazing to see so many kids entering the stadium last Saturday evening. The kids had a blast, (my Grandson included) and they had the biggest attendance of the year so far that evening.
If you're looking to get out of the house and truly enjoy an outdoor event, you just can't find a less expensive form of entertainment than the Shorebirds Games. If you haven't been, try it, you'll like it.

Tim Chaney's Nephew Delivers Another Photo From Iraq
It seems it's not good enough for Mr. Chaney's Nephew to be stationed in Iraq as some are challenging the validity of his photos. That being said, here's another one he's delivered. As things have changed on this Blog, you're not seeing the negative comments from some of these people. Tim, as a personal note, thank your Nephew for me as we appreciate his service to our Country as well as the pictures.

With the Daily Times being short handed we're noticing their lack of presence at many events, such as this one. It's a shame because it's events like this one that bring out the very special people who truly care about people and this community. Although some were assigned to Host the event and others played a large roll in its success, many were in the background. It was a very special day for a very special cause. If you're wondering why the names aren't placed here, I don't believe they want to be recognized. Not here anyway. There's a special place elsewhere for all of these people and it's not on a Blog.

I was recently invited to come celebrate with the Town of Princess Anne and UMES in honoring these National Champions. It was a fantastic turn out and the support was exactly what these women deserved. Congratulations to them all and I have to say, that is one beautiful college.
UPDATE: I just learned that UMES was ranked the second most beautiful campus in the United States. Duke was #1 and UMES #2.
The Horse Whisperer
This is the Horse Whisperer who was at SonLife Community Church Sunday.
His name is Scot Tillinghast from Dundee, NY, (www.faithstepministries.com). The horse, Ace, is was donated for training on Sunday by a couple from southern Delaware. They had a trainer work with the horse all summer of 2007 and he could get the horse to “load” only once in that time. Although the program was about an hour with the education and explanations to the audience of 215 people, it took Scot about 25 minutes have the horse willingly load and then unload at least 10 times. Then the owner was also able to load the horse repeatedly on his trailer.
Question of the Day, Mon 5/5
What would be your message in the sky?
I have rented you a skywriter (plane that writes messages with smoke in the sky). You know, the one like in The Wizard of Oz, and the ones that the hopeless romantics write "Will you marry me?" for their potential brides.
What town do you live in? What would your message say for everyone to see?
Why this message? Would you own up to it if someone asked if it were your message?
Have fun. Remain anonymous if needed. Have a good day at work . . SunnyInOC

Pocomoke City Skatepark is OPEN - Grayson Burke's Review: I LOVE IT
After going to City Hall with both parents who had to produce positive government issued ID and signing the application in front of a city employee.Then we enjoyed a family trip to the 'Lock-up' section downstairs at the Pocomoke City Police Dept to have 'skater mug-shots' taken. The people at the station were very friendly and explained the process is new and they will work out a 'system' for the kids.
We received a call from Angel Thornes at the Pocomoke PD 2-hours later letting us know that the card was ready and had Grayson pick up his "Offical Skatepark card" in person after school the next day. (He was so excited)
Thursday night we checked all of our stock skateboard equipment and discovered his board had a split wheel so we drove to Toy's R Us in Salisbury Saturday to purchase a new skateboard and helmet... arriving back in Pocomoke after dark to a closed skatepark.
Talk about a kid filled with anticipation who could care less about any adult bickering, he was finally going to get to skate in the new skatepark.
10:34 AM we arrived only to find the gate locked so I called the station and they told me that an officer had already been dispatched to open the park for us. She was very friendly, opened the gate and told me there had been a grand total of 4 (four) kids there on Saturday...
Grayson did not care he was first and had it all to himself, he promptly ran to the top of the small ramp, skated down and shouted: I LOVE THIS SKATEPARK!
He skated all over everything up and down but I quickly realized that the kid needs a little instruction from the old man... but the cop who opened the gate sat in her car the whole time I did not want to "illegally" demonstrate how to do a kickturn on a ramp to my son. I decided then and there to obtain a pass for myself and would encourage any parent who has ever skated to get one too. (if its free then its for me)
Yes the park is a little small and the equipment is jammed together, but Grayson did not notice and he wants to go back for an afternoon session.
We would like to organize a community group to raise funds to improve the skatepark.
PARENTS IF YOU HAVE NOT REGISTERED YOUR CHILDREN DOWNLOAD THE FORMS AND GET THEM SIGNED UP THEY WILL THANK YOU FOR IT.
UnHappy
I am very unhappy with Delmarva Now's Parent Company that owns the Daily
Times.
My oldest daughter has been working there for a while, and during the
transition, she worked 7 nights a week for weeks on end, because they were
"short handed". While some of her co workers quit, and came back, took
breaks smoking "weed" in the parking lot, and played games while work
should have been done. Her supervisor(s) chose to ignore all of this.
She was blamed for mistakes that another worker did, and ended up doing
work, that other workers should have been doing.
Today, she was laid off, due to the fact that they don't need her anymore.
Now, she couldn't take vacation over Christmas, (even though it was take
it or lose it), because they were in the middle of the transition, and
short handed. Now, they don't need her anymore. I don't know if the
hired new people and are replacing her, or if they knew all along that
they only needed her for the transition, but I do know that I think that
the newspaper is not what I thought it was.
I won't mention the names of the people that made it a bad place to work.
I will mention that when she worked at the Pocomoke Office of the
Worcester County Paper for Bill Kerbin, she was never treated this way.
Mr. Kerbin was the kindest most considerate boss that she could ever have
asked for. If he could have kept the paper, and hired her with full time
hours and benefits, she would have stayed there forever.

SU's Relay For Life A Hit!
Thanks goes out to all the Relay Teams, individuals, volunteers, and all who donated to this amazing cause. $89,098 was raised this year!
Students and guests came together in a healing and remembrance process to actively live with a terrible aspect of nature. Despite some painful memories of the past the event went on without a hitch and some great times ensued. SU's students always come up with some great fundraising activities. My personal favorite was a Plinko board from The Price is Right. You could get food, a massage, your nails painted, or put some one in jail. Most of SU's groups were represented from varsity athletes, clubs, and Greek Life.
My favorite part of Relay outside of the main intention is that Relay is good clean fun. For the whole night students play some type of sport; playing catch with footballs and the old mitt; playing some Ultimate Frisbee; kickball; and even a giant game of twister on a giant homemade twister board. It is quite the amazing site!
Best wishes and blessings go out the families who have had cancer enter into their lives and to all those who brought the event to fruition or helped in some way.

8,197 Visitors At Shorebirds Game Last Night
Last night proved to be the finest turn out of the season at the Shorebirds Game with 8,197 people visiting the game and enjoying the Fireworks.
Today's game will start off at 2:05 PM so if you're looking for something to do, it's a beautiful day for Baseball!
The United Way Carnival of Non Profit Organizations surround the Stadium inside and out. This is a way for people to learn more about each organization and hopefully participate in volunteering your time with the charity of your choice.
Sadly, many people don't recognize these fine groups until some kind of tragedy hits home. Come out and learn what these groups offer and hopefully you'll participate before one of these situations hits home.

Salisbury Philosophy Symposium A Huge Success
With standing room only the Salisbury Philosophy community paid tribute to Dr. Jerry Miller for 28 years of service. Dr. Miller founded the philosophy program at Salisbury and has brought major up to the forefront of the ranks of chosen majors by students. Thunderous roar like a summer storm welcomed him when he took the podium causing the modest professor to yell at everyone to quit being "jerks"!
Known for his quirkiness of throwing erasers, shoes, cups of pop (I'm a Midwest boy, we say pop, so soda for the rest of the Shore), and any other hosts of objects ready at hand while wearing a bright yellow NAACP jacket is one of the most profound intellectuals at the school. Dr. Miller's veracity for the commitment of searching for meaning through philosophy has developed a cult following with majors and non majors alike. Simply put Dr. Miller has taken the intimations of students of their current world and challenged them to develop those intimations into full mature insights. Once accepted, no one turns back, though often it is a struggle with him.
The Symposium centered around Dr. Miller's essay "The Way of Suffering: A Reasoning of the Heart" which addressed the ideas of a Lewis Hyde's' "Gift Economy", the opening up of the heart, and how to be when evil is done or has been done to you. I could give you a detailed explanation but to correctly elucidate his position I would be writing another 20 page paper for him.
Most astonishing was the outpouring support for the Philosophy Dept. from an auction of some of Dr. Miller's "artifacts" from the years. His NAACP Jacket fetched $305 dollars and was promptly donated back to Dr. Miller who was on his knees not wanting to give up his prized possession! His glasses brought in over $200 and overall his goods brought in $1200 plus for the Dept.
Dr. Miller will be a scheme of recurrence at Salisbury for ever. A man of his stature and love of his life, the commitment to philosophy and family, will be an enduring tradition which will be a beacon for undergrads to follow! Dr. Miller you will be missed!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Lower Shore Special Olympics and you have to admit, there couldn't be a more perfect day for this outdoor event.
The beginning of the event had the WCSO, SPD and even the Berlin Sheriff arriving with the Torch with sirens blasting and lights all over the place letting everyone know, something very special was about to happen.
There was a fantastic crowd of people visiting to watch each event and the participants couldn't be more excited.
Question of the Day
What have you done to ease the price of fuel for yourself/family?
Have you had to purchase a different vehicle with better gas mileage? Have you had to sell some things? Do you carpool? Do you buy from Ray ?(just kidding) What's your take on the gas prices and do you feel there is an end in sight? Have you had to skimp on other material things to help feed your fuel tank?
