Just a few days ago Maryland House Bill 189 was filed which would extend-out the time interval to perform school board audits to once every six years.
Unlike the present law - which is set to expire on June 30, 2010 - under the newly proposed law - HB 189 - would allow the audit to be extended out to six year intervals instead of present law - every three years.
The current law reads;
(i) At least once every 3 years, the Office of Legislative Audits shall conduct a fiscal/compliance audit of each unit of the State government, except for units in the Legislative Branch.
The new law states;
Once every 6 years, the Office of Legislative Audits shall conduct a fiscal/compliance audit of each unit of the State government, except for units in the Legislative Branch.
In light of recent controversies surrounding Wicomico County Board of Education spending practices and expense account reports for WCBOE officials - I strongly urge each residence to contact their elected State representatives and let them know how you feel about extending-out the audit period.
In my estimation - the prudent thing to do is to require the Office of Legislative Audits to, instead, shorten the audit period to say every year as opposed to every six years. The shortened time span will help to hold this massive agency accountable to the most important segment of the public - the taxpayers.

Obama Takes On ‘Devastation’ Of Recession
In State of the Union, president calls for three-year spending freeze
Declaring that “I do not accept second place for the United States of America,” President Barack Obama compared the economic crisis to the greatest challenges of the nation’s past, saying “history’s call” demanded a years-long freeze on huge chunks of popular government spending programs.
In his first State of the Union address, Obama bluntly compared the recession to great challenges of the past like the Civil War and the bloody struggle for civil rights in the 1960s. While there has been progress, it has stalled, he said, telling lawmakers in the House chamber and millions of Americans at home that “the devastation remains.”
“I take my share of the blame for not explaining it more clearly to the American people,” Obama said. “... This problem is not going away.”

Girl Pulled Out Alive 15 Days After Haiti Quake
17-year-old was under rubble of home that collapsed in Port-au-Prince
PORT-AU-PRINCE - French rescuers pulled a teenage girl from the rubble of a home near the destroyed St. Gerard University on Wednesday, a stunning recovery 15 days after an earthquake devastated the city.
Darlene Etienne, near death from dehydration and a broken leg, was rushed to a French military field hospital and then to a hospital ship, groaning through an oxygen mask with her eyes open in a lost stare.
"She's alive!" said paramedic Paul Francois-Valette, who accompanied her into the hospital.

Here She Comes
This storm will take dead aim at the central Atlantic region this weekend. There is no escape. Like it or not, snowflakes are gonna fly.
The winter storm will get started in Tennessee and Kentucky Friday then spread into the Virginias and western North Carolina late Friday and Friday night, with much of Delmarva's snow occurring late Friday night and on through Saturday. The latest guess is 3-6 inches, but with these storms you never know till it happens.
The possibility of icing exists, as well (depending on the track), and should be included in preparations.
This will be a cold storm with temperatures ranging from the teens to middle 20s where it is snowing. It probably will not be classified as a blizzard due to a lack of strong winds-- it will be breezy, nevertheless.
The cold snap will be somewhat brutal, but should be brief with a warm up next week.

Found Dog In Pittsville
Mr. Albero:
We hope you can help us. Today a dog wandered in to the Pittsville Library in Pittsville, Maryland. He is a tan and white male boxer. He appears to be an older guy with lots of gray around the face. He has lots of little bumps on his nose and some marks on his skin in various areas. He was wearing a blue collar with multi colored designs on it (no tags). He is extremely friendly around adults and kids and even knew the sit command. He was a bit on the skinny side and was dirty like he had been on the road a bit. It appeared he had a couple of lipomas on his side as well.
He was almost hit by a car and with the bad weather coming up he was taken to the Humane Society where they said they would keep him for 6 days and after 6 days if his temperment and health are ok he would be put up for adoption. His temperment is wonderful and he seemed healthy to a non-trained eye. I have attached two photos of him. If you could post a little something on your site about him, perhaps his family will see him and be able to go get him or perhaps a reader who is looking for a great older buddy may want to adopt him if he is not claimed. He is a wonderful old guy who seemed very lost and in need of a friend.
Thank you!
WCBOE Uses Tax Dollars for Hooter’s and Vegas Junkets
NO – this is not a joke. I wish it were.
Speaking at a meeting of the Wicomico chapter of Americans for Prosperity, Wicomico Councilman Joe Holloway provided several examples of misuse of the taxpayers’ money by the Wicomico County Board of Education (WCBOE). These included:
- A trip to Hooter’s
- A Las Vegas junket and tickets to a Toby Keith concert
- Starbucks coffee (why drink the cheap stuff when you ain’t paying for it)
Holloway’s theme was that Wicomico County government doesn’t need its citizens to pay more taxes, it needs to cut spending. I can’t wait for the WCBOE’s spin on this one.
Chesapeake Bay Retriever Needs A Home
There is a female Chesapeake Bay retriever at the Worcester County Animal Control facility in Snow Hill, 6207 Timmons Road, that needs a good home. She was found about a week ago near Girdletree and the owners have yet to claim her. The staff at Paws and Claws in West Ocean City believes the dog is between 1 and 2 years old, and says she is very mild-mannered and very friendly. Please, if this is your dog or if you are interested in giving this dog a home, contact Animal Control at 410-632-1340 or call Paws and Claws at 410-213-7490.

Delaware State Police Tuesday January 26, 2010 investigated a theft of a motor vehicle in the 38000 block of East Murphy Circle Selbyville, Delaware.
Troopers responded to the residence and learned that a 2001 Ford F-250 was taken from the victim’s yard. The person in possession of the vehicle was an employee of “Weather or Not.”
The victim heard a noise outside his residence and when he went to investigate observed the Ford F-250 as missing. The victim notified the police who responded. While the Trooper was investigating the incident the victim observed his truck approaching his home. The driver Clyde C. Campbell-20 of Selbyville accelerated from the area. The trooper pursued the Ford truck and initially lost site of it. The Trooper however caught up to the Ford which had stopped on Hudson Road N/O SR 54. The Trooper next observed a female Toni Palmes walking away from the truck. Campbell had fled on foot prior to the Troopers arrival and later apprehended at his residence.
Upon interviewing Palmes the Trooper was given a misleading story of why Palmes was around the area. Troopers eventually obtained information which advised that Clyde C. Campbell was operating Palmes’ van earlier when it ran out of gas. Campbell next pulled into a private driveway than approached the Ford truck. Campbell gained access into the truck, located keys and drove away. Campbell and Palmes were actually en route back to the victim’s location to return the truck when they came into contact with the police and fled.
Campbell was arrested for the theft of the truck and Palmes for Hindering the Troopers efforts in conducting an investigation. Campbell was released on $3,000 unsecured bond and Palmes on $500.00 unsecured bond.
OCEAN CITY POLICE ARREST NINE IN BURGLARY/DRUG RING
The Ocean City Police Department recently concluded an investigation that resulted in the arrest of nine (9) individuals involved in a narcotic distribution and burglary ring. With the help of the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team (CET), the MSP Drug Task Force and the Worcester County Star team, the Ocean City Police Department was able to seize over $3,000 and recover seven (7) stolen flat screen televisions, numerous personal electronic devices and a firearm.
The Ocean City Police Criminal Investigation Division began a narcotics investigation in November 2009, focusing on the illegal distribution of Oxycodone. The burglary investigation, involving the same suspects, began in early January 2010, when the undercover detective was able to purchase two (2) stolen flat screen televisions and two (2) stolen DVD players from the suspects.
During the ensuing investigation, both Patrol Officers and detectives were able to identify suspects involved in the burglaries throughout the Ocean City area.
On January 19 and 20, 2010, Ocean City Police arrested the following individuals involved in the burglaries:
Shawn Barry White, Jr. 22, of Berlin, Maryland has been charged with;
o 18 counts of 1st Degree Burglary
o 3 counts of Misdemeanor Theft
o 1 count of Possession of Controlled Dangerous Substance
o 1 count of Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance
o 1 count of Purchasing a non-CDS
Christopher Tyler Kreppel, 24, of Ocean City, Maryland has been charged with:
o 13 counts of 1st Degree Burglary
o 1 count of Misdemeanor Theft
o 1 count of Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance
o 1 count of Purchasing a non-CDS
David Lee Powell, 21, of Berlin, Maryland has been charged with:
o 18 counts of 1st Degree Burglary
o 3 counts of Misdemeanor Theft
During the investigation the following persons were arrested, in reference to the illegal possession of Controlled Dangerous Substances:
Gary Lee Montgomery, Jr., 33, of Bishopville, Maryland was charged with:
o 1 count of possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance
- Jerry Lee Gully, Jr., 23, of Pittsville, Maryland was charged with:

o 3 counts of Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance
- Justin Matthew Caple, 21, of Rawlings, Maryland was charged with:
o 1 count of Purchasing a non-CDS
Michael Anthony Gates, 21, of Bishopville, Maryland was charged with:
o 1 count of Purchasing a non-CDS
All of the suspects were seen by an Ocean City District Court Commissioner:
Shawn Barry White, Jr. and Christopher Tyler Kreppel are each being held on $200,000
bonds. David Lee Powell and Shawna Nowell Williams are each being held on $250,000
bond. White, Kreppel Williams and Powell were transferred to the Worcester County Jail.
Gary Lee Montgomery, Jr., Jerry Lee Gully, Jr., Justin Matthew Caple and Michael Anthony Gates were all released on their own recognizance.
At this time investigators have been able to identify 29 residences that were burglarized. Search & Seizure Warrants were served at residences in Berlin and West Ocean City and has resulted in the recovery of stolen televisions and related evidence. A search of a second West Ocean City location led to the recovery of additional stolen televisions and a shotgun which was also possibly stolen. While the Ocean City Police have recovered a portion of the stolen property, they believe
many of the stolen televisions may have been sold or traded for drugs and are still in the community.
Investigators continue to pursue active leads and anticipate recovering more of the stolen property, including approximately 25 additional flat screen televisions. The investigation may lead to the issuance of more search and seizure warrants authorizing the recovery of stolen property. The Ocean City Police Department asks that citizens contact the Criminal Investigation Division if they possess or
have knowledge of a television or electronics that they suspect may be stolen.
The OCPD, with the approval of the Worcester County States Attorney Office, is prepared to grant amnesty from prosecution to those persons not involved in the burglaries who come forward on or prior to February 14, 2010. Citizens should contact the OCPD with information regarding the burglaries or the location of any of the stolen property. Anyone found in possession of stolen items that does not
come forward will be charged and prosecuted.
If you have any information regarding the stolen items, please contact Ocean City Police Detective Brett Case at 410-723-6632, or bring the property to the Ocean City Police Department located at 6501 Coastal Highway, Ocean City.

Prank Or Crime By Activists At Senator's Office?
Man who exposed ACORN arrested over Sen. Landrieu phone scheme
NEW ORLEANS - The four men accused of trying to tamper with Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu's office phones share a common experience as young ideologues writing for conservative publications.
Federal authorities said two of the men posed as telephone workers wearing hard hats, tool belts and fluorescent vests when they walked into the senator's office inside a federal building in New Orleans on Monday. The other two were accused of helping to organize the plan.
The most well-known of the suspects is James O'Keefe, a 25-year-old whose hidden-camera expose posing as a pimp with his prostitute infuriated the liberal group ACORN and made him a darling of conservatives.

BREAKING NEWS
GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO PROTECT MARYLANDERS FROM SEXUAL PREDATORS
Governor convenes Sexual Offender Advisory Board to reform 2006 law
ANNAPOLIS, MD (January 27, 2010) – Governor Martin O’Malley announced today a series of legislative initiatives targeted at protecting Maryland families from sexual predators and strict enforcement of sex offender laws, including lifetime supervision for certain sex offenses. The Governor also announced legislation to reconstitute the Sexual Offender Advisory Board, and has asked former Maryland Attorney General Joseph Curran to serve as Chair. The Board will initially serve to advocate for legislation to strengthen the Board and redefine its purpose.
“There should be absolutely no mercy shown to anyone who harms a child in our State, and our legislation serves to impose the strictest standards of supervision to ensure that Maryland’s children are protected,” said Governor O’Malley. “There is a lot we do better than we used to as a state with regard to public safety, and there is still a lot of work to be done. I want to thank Joe Curran for agreeing to extend his public service in this capacity, and look forward to working with the General Assembly to strengthen our efforts even more.”
The Sexual Offender Advisory Board was established in 2006 and charged with, among other things, training sexual offender management teams in the Division of Parole and Probation, certifying sexual offender treatment providers, and making policy recommendations. However, there was no requirement that the members of this Board have any of the specialized skills necessary for certifying programs, conducting training, or even making policy recommendations. For that reason, and others, the O’Malley-Brown Administration has introduced legislation for the past three years to reenact this Board so that it is properly constituted and charged. The Governor introduced legislation today to ensure the Board is properly constituted and charged.
“I have been a long-time supporter of lifetime supervision for our state's most violent sexual predators. The proposed Board will ensure that experts with specialized experience working with both victims and offenders are addressing these extremely serious cases,” said former Maryland Attorney General Joe Curran. “I look forward to serving as the Board’s chair and want to get to work immediately. I plan to meet with the staff tomorrow evening and to convene a Board meeting next week.”
Curran served as Attorney General for Maryland from 1986 to 2007. He was Lieutenant Governor from 1983 to 1986, and before that served in the State Senate and the House of Delegates for nearly a quarter of a century. As Attorney General, Mr. Curran initiated statewide reform in the areas of consumer protection, criminal investigations, Medicaid fraud prosecution, securities regulation, antitrust enforcement, protection of children and teens, parents, seniors, protection of victims of domestic violence and sexual predators. He also worked to strengthen criminal laws against gun violence, prescription drug abuse, and was an opponent of slots and casino gambling. Curran is a graduate of the University of Baltimore and the University of Baltimore School of Law.
The Governor announced today a comprehensive set of legislative initiatives aimed at protecting Maryland families:
Sexual Offenders – Lifetime Supervision
The bill requires that courts sentence certain serious sex offenders (convicted of first degree rape/attempt; second degree rape/attempt; first degree sexual offense/attempt; certain second and third degree sexual offenses; certain sexual abuse of a minor) and sexual offenders with multiple offenses to mandatory lifetime supervision. This lifetime supervision must be consecutive to any sentence or probationary term imposed for the underlying offense. The sentencing court must order a presentence investigation prior to imposing the conditions of this lifetime supervision, which may include GPS monitoring. The bill also provides for criminal penalties for violations and provides that any sentence imposed for a violation of lifetime supervision is not subject to dimunition credits.
The bill further provides that, following the original sentence and an additional three years of lifetime supervision, a person may petition the sentencing court for discharge from this supervision. In order to file a petition, a person must have a recommendation from their supervising agent and a risk assessment conducted by a sexual offender treatment provider. A sentencing court may not discharge a person from lifetime supervision unless there is a finding that the person no longer poses an unacceptable risk to community safety.
Sexual Offender Advisory Board
This bill reconstitutes the Sexual Offender Advisory Board to be compromised of persons with specialized knowledge of sex offenders so that the Board can effectively make policy recommendations on how to best manage sex offenders and protect the public. The bill also alters the charge of the Board, directing the Board to: review the laws and practices in Maryland, including our registration requirements; work with the Judiciary to develop risk-assessment criteria for the lifetime supervision offenders; make recommendations for the treatment and management of sex offenders; develop standards for a statewide certification process for sexual offender treatment providers; and make recommendations regarding the training of sexual offender management teams.
Criminal Procedure - Sex Offenders - Notification and Registration
This proposal would bring the State into compliance with the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) (also known as the Adam Walsh Act), which creates minimum standards for sex offender registration. States have been given until July 2010 to come into “substantial” compliance or risk the loss of Byrne grant funds. The most significant changes include: making the registration requirements retroactive; re-classifying the sex offense categories; and requiring juvenile offenders to register publicly if convicted in adult court or if adjudicated delinquent for serious sexual offenses and at least 14 years of age.
Sexual Offender Registration – Indecent Exposure and Possession of Child Pornography
This bill would allow a judge to order a person convicted of (1) possession of child pornography; or (2) indecent exposure in the presence of a minor to register as a sexual offender. Currently, these crimes are not included on the Maryland registry and judges have no authority to order an offender to register for these offenses.
Registration of Sexual Offenders – Continuing Course of Conduct
This bill adds the crime of Continuing Course of Conduct with Child to the category of offenses for which a sexual offender, under certain circumstances, must register for life. The elements of the crime of “Continuing Course of Conduct” are: the commission of one or more of the following crimes at least three times over the course of 90 days to a child under the age of 14: first degree Rape; second degree Rape; first degree Sex Offense; second degree Sex Offense; third degree Sex Offense. Under current law, a conviction for any of the offenses, against a child under the age of 15, requires lifetime registration as a Child Sexual Offender. However, a conviction for Continuing Course of Conduct (three of these acts) gives a judge the discretion to order registration, but only 10 years as an Offender. This bill would remedy the inconsistency in the law and require similar registration guidelines for individuals who commit equally violent sex offenses.
Criminal Background Investigations – Employees of Facilities and Other Individuals that Care for or Supervise Children
This bill expands the categories of individuals who will be required to have a State and Federal background check. It requires background checks for employees of private entities running recreation centers as well as for employees of home health or residential service agencies licensed to provide home or community based health services for minors.
Ex-Attorney Pleads Guilty In $1.2B Ponzi Scam
Scott Rothstein, 47, pleads guilty to all five counts against him
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A disbarred attorney who courted politicians and star athletes and led a flamboyant lifestyle even by South Florida standards pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal charges that he ran a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.
Scott Rothstein, 47, pleaded guilty to all five counts against him, including wire fraud, money-laundering conspiracy and a racketeering charge commonly used to take down Mafia chieftains. The charges carry a maximum potential sentence of 100 years in federal prison. Sentencing is set for May 6.
The plea caps a downward spiral that began in late October, when court documents say Rothstein fled Florida on a chartered jet to Morocco carrying $500,000 in cash after wiring another $16 million to a Casablanca account he controlled. He returned to face charges and has been in federal custody since the FBI arrested him Dec. 1.

Sharon In Her Section 8 Home!
Sharon Jasper has spent 57 of her 58 years dedicated to one cause and one cause only, and has nothing to show for her dedicated servitude...
She has lived in Section 8 housing all but 1 of her 58 years. It was a legacy passed down from her parents who moved into Section 8 housing in 1949 when she was six months old. She has passed the legacy down to her children, but fears they may have to get jobs to pay for the utilities and deposits.
She laments about her one year hiatus from the comfort of her Section 8 nirvana, ' I tried it for a year -- you know, working and all. It's not anything I would want to go through again, or wish on anyone in my family, but I am damn proud of that year.'
Sharon was moved out of her St. Bernard housing project after hurricane Katrina and into a new, yet albeit, substandard quarterage. As can be noted from the above photo of her new Section 8 home, it is repugnant and not suitable for someone of Sharon Jasper's seniority status in the system. 'Don't be fooled by them hardwood floors,' says Sharon . 'They told me they were putting in scraped wood floors cause it was more expensive and elegant, but I am not a fool -- that was just a way to make me take scratched up wood because I am black. The 60 inch HD TV? It may look nice but it is not plasma. It's not a plasma because I'm black. Now they want me to pay a deposit and utilities on this dump.' 'Do you know why?'
She has held her tongue in silence through the years of abuse by the system, but it came to a head at the New Orleans ' city council meeting where discussions were under way about the tearing down of the St. Bernard projects. When a near riotous exchange between groups opposing the tearing down of St. Bernard and groups wanting the dilapidated buildings torn down and newer ones built, Sharon unleashed verbal hell with her once silenced tongue. The object of her oratory prowess was an acquiescent poor white boy in attendance. The context of her scathing rebuke was, 'Just because you pay for my house, my car, my big screen and my food, I will not be treated like a slave!' and 'Back up and Shut up! Shut up, white boy! Shut up, white boy!'
Recapping from the mental log of the city council minutes in her head, Sharon repines, 'Our families have been displaced all over the United States. They are being forced to commit crimes in cities they are unfamiliar with. It is a very uncomfortable situation for them. Bring them back, then let's talk about redevelopment.'
Sharon directs the reporter's attention across the street to Duncan Plaza where homeless people are living in tents and states that, 'I might do better out there with one of these tents.' She further lamented her sentiments about her situation, 'I might be poor, but I don't have to live poor.'
Any wonder why this country is in the shape it is? Maybe we should all just chip in and get her the plasma TV she so richly deserves!
Remember to pay your taxes - Sharon needs your help
Spread the wealth!
