Beaglin Park Drive Improvements to Begin Monday, July 10

As part of the ongoing effort to keep the public informed of improvements within the City of Salisbury, please be advised that a private contractor will be affecting the flow of traffic along Beaglin Park Drive in two locations to conduct repaving operations. The areas from Hannibal Street to South Schumaker Drive, and from Snow Hill Road to College Lane will experience delays during paving operations.

The work will be performed beginning Monday, July 10, 2017, at 7:00 a.m. and will be completed on Friday, July 14, 2017, at 4:30 p.m., barring unforeseen problems or weather delays. Expect minor periodic traffic delays due to traffic pattern modifications between 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause. Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions or need clarification regarding this project, please contact William White with the Salisbury Department of Infrastructure and Development at 410-548-3170. 

Bob Woodward Blasts MSM: "Fair-Mindedness Is Essential If You Want People To Trust You"

After being tripped up by a series of embarrassing events this week, including a "fake news" story which resulted in the "resignation" of three CNN 'journalists' and two undercover videos from Project Veritas which reveal CNN insiders describing their own network's 'Russian collusion' narrative as "mostly bullshit" and "a big nothing burger', the mainstream media has resorted to doing what liberals do best when they get caught...they're playing the victim card.

In case you haven't been made aware, 'progressives' have never, ever been wrong...and if you disagree then you're just a racist, misogynist hate-monger and you need to seek professional help.

In fact, here is a clip from CNN that we shared just yesterday in which grandstanding anchors, after recklessly pushing the fake 'Russian collusion' narrative for months, casually admitted "We can debate collusion. They're right, there's no evidence of that..." and then moments later pre-emptively blamed Trump for any and all future attacks on reporters: "We are going to see a reporter face physical harm because" of President Trump's "declaration of war on the media."

Walking slower is an early sign of cognitive decline

Scientists have long believed that a slower walking pace in older people may be linked to dementia.

Now a team of researchers have identified the changes in the brain which explain why.

They discovered that people who developed slowed walking show a shrinkage of their right hippocampus.

This area of the brain, which is similar in shape to a seahorse, is primarily associated with memory and the ability to maintain posture.

The findings suggest dementia could be treated earlier if doctors regularly measure the walking speeds of older patients and watch for changes over time.

That's according to a 14-year study carried out by experts at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.

Infant Casket With Human Organs Inside Found On North Philly Sidewalk

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia Police are investigating a disturbing discovery on a North Philadelphia street Monday night.

People walking along the 3100 block of W. Clearfield Street came across an infant- or child-sized casket lying on the sidewalk just after 9 p.m.

“I was pretty shocked,” said Chris James. “It looked like something straight out of ‘Thriller.'”

Officers arrived and opened the casket to find a bag of organs inside, but no body.

Missouri Reverses St. Louis Minimum-Wage Hike

A week ago, we reported on a study from the University of Washington that exposed how the city of Seattle’s progressive minimum wage increases, which began in 2015, are – contrary to the hopes of so many liberals – actually crushing the city’s poor.

Specifically, the study found that higher minimum wages caused a 9.4% reduction to total hours worked by low-skilled workers, or roughly 14 million hours per year. Given that a full-time employee works 2,080 hours per year, that's equivalent to just over 6,700 full-time equivalents who have lost their jobs, just in the city of Seattle.

While the higher minimum wage law remains intact in liberal Washington State - despite the research suggesting that it’s harming Seattle's most vulnerable workers - the Missouri legislature recently acted to prevent a similar catastrophe from playing out in St. Louis by passing what’s known as a preemption law to invalidate a city-approved minimum wage hike that was slated to take effect in late August. The hike would’ve raised the city’s minimum wage to $10 an hour, from the state-approved $7.70.

US schools rethink meal-debt policies that humiliate kids

SANTA FE, N.M. —Teaching assistant Kelvin Holt watched as a preschool student fell to the back of a cafeteria line during breakfast in Killeen, Texas, as if trying to hide.

"The cash register woman says to this 4-year-old girl, verbatim, 'You have no money,'" said Holt, describing the incident last year. A milk carton was taken away, and the girl's food was dumped in the trash. "She did not protest, other than to walk away in tears."

Holt has joined a chorus of outrage against lunchroom practices that can humiliate children as public school districts across the United States rethink how they cope with unpaid student lunch debts.

The U.S. Agriculture Department is requiring districts to adopt policies this month for addressing meal debts and to inform parents at the start of the academic year.

Texas city official 'killed dad and son while high'

A Texas city official has been charged with intoxication manslaughter after admitting that she smoked marijuana before mowing down a father and son, according to authorities.

Dee Ann Haney, 54, was arrested early Monday morning after the deadly accident that took the lives of Van Duoc Le, 59, and his son, 33-year-old Phue Hong Le.

According to law enforcement officials, the two men were standing on the right shoulder of northbound Interstate 45 near the Galveston Causeway just before 1am, trying to secure Plaxiglas in the bed of their black Toyota Tacoma, when Haney rammed them with her white Ford F-150.

NRA Ad, Citing Baltimore Violence, Sparks Controversy

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A recent ad to attract new members to the NRA has created a backlash.

Some say the ad promotes violence, while others say it’s the truth and they are securing their freedoms.

The debate sparked from this NRA message, many call a recruitment video, posted on NRA TV.

“The only way we stop this, the only way we save or country and our freedom, is to fight this violence of lies with a clenched fist of truth. I’m the National Rifle Association of America, and I’m America’s safest place.”

Austria to send troops and armoured vehicles near Italian border to block migrants

Austria has deployed armoured vehicles close to its border with Italy and will send up to 750 soldiers to block any migrants trying to head north, the government announced.

The move reflects deep concern in Vienna and elsewhere in Europe over the huge number of asylum seekers who continue to cross the Mediterranean from Libya – so far this year more than 85,000 have been rescued and brought to Italy.

But it prompted a rebuke from Rome, with the Italian foreign ministry summoning Austria’s ambassador to explain the beefing up of border security. Italy has warned in the past that such measures would contravene EU rules on free movement.

Austria said it would ramp up border controls at the Brenner Pass, a key trade and transport route through the Alps that connects the two countries. "We are ready to protect our Brenner border if necessary,” said Sebastian Kurz, the Austrian foreign minister.

The 750 soldiers could be rushed to the border within 72 hours if there was a migration emergency, officials said. "I expect border controls will be introduced very soon," Peter Doskozil, the defence minister, told the newspaper Kronen Zeitung.

Spanish 1776: Catalonia on Brink of Declaring Independence

A new European nation between Spain and France?

Catalonia, a region of northeastern Spain, will declare immediate independence if voters approve a referendum in October.

The autonomous area best known for the city of Barcelona is controlled by those seeking to forge a new nation separate from Spain.

“If the majority of votes are for creating a Catalan republic, obviously independence will have to be declared immediately,” said Gabriela Serra, a member of the independence coalition governing Catalonia.

Catalonia has always had its own distinctive culture and language (Catalan) – and sovereign nations are defined by their homogenous identities.

The region was once a principality with its own laws and customs that flourished until power over the Iberian peninsula was centralized by the Spanish crown.

But to gain independence again, Catalonia must overcome several challenges since the upcoming referendum was not approved by Spain.

Abandoned puppy at airport bathroom highlights domestic violence issues

LAS VEGAS (KSNV NEWS3LV) — A 3-month-old puppy was abandoned inside an airport bathroom over the weekend with a heartbreaking note from its owner.

The miniature Chihuahua was left with a handwritten note from the dog’s owner telling a tale of domestic abuse and the owner’s rush to escape her abuser.

The note reads: “Hi! I’m Chewy! My owner was in an abusive relationship and couldn’t afford me to get on the flight. She didn’t want to leave me with all her heart but she has NO other option. My ex-boyfriend kicked my dog when we were fighting and he has a big knot on his head. He probably needs a vet. I love Chewy sooo much – please love and take care of him.”

Exercise reduces lower back pain by up to 16%

Being highly active reduces the risk of chronic lower back pain by 16 per cent, new research reveals.

Regular moderate activity lowers the risk by 14 per cent, a study review found.

Yet, exercise has no impact on short-term back pain or that which causes hospitalisation or disability, the research adds.

Dr Joel Press, physiatrist-in-chief at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, who was not involved in the study, said: 'We were meant to move. We were not meant to be stagnant in any way.

'Generally lower impact, walking type things are probably the starting point. Swimming is another low impact activity that puts less load on your back'.

Vandals Spray Paint ‘Go Back To California’ On Couple’s Car, Home In Oregon

PORTLAND, Oregon (KPIX) – A couple of newly transplanted Californians didn’t exactly get a welcome mat rolled out when they moved to Oregon.

Go back to California. That’s the message that Preston Page and his fiance woke up to.

“Kind of a bummer because we just painted the house a couple weeks ago,” says Page.

The couple moved to Portland, Oregon from Los Angeles around four months ago to follow his career with Adidas and they were just getting settled in.

This Is What A Hunger-Games-Society Looks Like

The burned out shells of vacant buildings and crumbling infrastructure, the mobs of dispossessed youth wandering the streets, the constant violence and threats of violence set against a soundtrack of car alarms, bumping car stereos, and the distant hum of an electric transformer buzzing like a swarm of electric flies feasting on the carcass of a once thriving city-at a cursory glance these places seem ungovernable, or at the very least ungoverned.

But here lies the ultimate irony: the citizens residing in these districts are possibly the most intensely governed people in the country. From birth until death, they are shuffled through an almost constant stream of government institutions: government housing, public schools, welfare, the penal system-the list is almost endless.

Prince Street Elementary Now Registering Students for New Full-Day Prekindergarten; Special Registration Event July 6-7

Wicomico County Public Schools is pleased to announce that Prince Street Elementary will have full-day Prekindergarten for the 2017-2018 school year, providing greater educational opportunities for students as they prepare to enter Kindergarten.

Prince Street will hold a special Prekindergarten Registration Event from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, July 6 and Friday, July 7. On these two days the school will have extra registration staff as well as Spanish and Haitian Creole interpreters on hand to provide the best possible service to families.

“I feel that full-day Prekindergarten will give a better opportunity for us to get children school ready, educating them early and for a full day so they’ll be prepared to be successful in Kindergarten. We are delighted that Prince Street Elementary has just received a Prekindergarten Expansion Grant to expand our Prekindergarten program to four full-day classes starting this fall,” Principal Jason Miller said. “We’re eager for parents in the Prince Street serving area to come in as soon as possible so all of us – students, parents, and school staff – can begin preparing for full-day Prekindergarten in September.”

Children in the Prince Street attendance area must be age 4 by Sept. 1, 2017 to sign up for full-day Prekindergarten at Prince Street. No special permission requests to attend Prince Street for Prekindergarten will be considered, due to grant stipulations. Prince Street’s expansion to full-day Prekindergarten is made possible by a federal and state grant awarded by the Maryland State Department of Education.

Prince Street is open weekdays (except July 4) and is ready now to register children for full-day Prekindergarten. Families may visit the school office to register from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. each day. Please call 410-677-5813 for information.

Prince Street families that registered children for Prekindergarten at the spring Registration Fair do not need to register again, as the child will automatically be considered for the full-day Prekindergarten program.

To register a student, please bring:

OC: Residence Inn set for fall opening

Despite delays and disputes that have clouded the completion of a 150-room Marriott Residence Inn & Suites on 61st Street bayside, the project should wind down this fall.

The eight-story hotel, located on a four-acre parcel that formerly housed the Ocean City Health and Racquet Club, is being developed by the Inns of Ocean City LLC.

Rich Palmer, a managing member of the hotel corporation, said the project hit a snag last fall when problems arose with the original general contractor, Berlin-based general Sens Mechanical Inc.

In late November 2016 contractor Whiting-Turner was selected to shuttle the project to fruition. Palmer credited the bonding company with taking on the responsibilities of general contactor and selecting Whiting-Turner to complete the remaining construction.
