New Law Takes Effect 10/1/08
A student currently enrolled at the Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy (located at Wor-Wic) advises me that on 10/1/08 a new law will take effect requiring all drivers to use hands-free cellular devices while driving. The exception, of course, would be drivers under the age of 18 who operate on a provisional license who are prohibited from using cellular phones of any type while driving.
Did anyone already know this?

Would You Believe.....Waterfalls In NYC?
This summer (until October 13) New York City is hosting an exciting art exhibit featuring four spectacular man-made waterfalls, 90 to 120 feet, in the East River along Manhattan Island. They are softly lit at night and available for everyone to see.
The falls were constructed using building elements that are ubiquitous throughout New York: scaffolding is the backbone of the structures, and pumps bring water from the East River to the top; the water then falls back into the river. Fish and aquatic life are protected by filtering the water through intake pools suspended in the river.
The New York City Waterfalls are visible by land and boat, and because of their proximity to one another, viewers can see multiple waterfalls from various vantage points in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Governors Island. Dedicated boat journeys to view the Waterfalls, organized by the Public Art Fund in partnership with Circle Line Downtown, leave from Pier 16 in Manhattan and provide up-close views of the installations. The Circle Line will provide free and discounted trips daily for the public. The free Governors Island Ferry, which runs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the length of the project, and the Staten Island Ferry also provide views of the waterfalls at Governors Island and between Piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn.
Another Circle Line cruise that affords views of the falls at dusk leaves from Pier 83 on the Hudson River, at 42nd Street. This 2 hour “Harbor Lights” cruise offers great views of Manhattan from both the Hudson and East Rivers and also goes by the Statue of Liberty. It runs through September 26. These photos were taken during that cruise.
That’s the Brooklyn Bridge above one of the falls in these pictures.
State Highway Adminstration is Full of It!!
In last Friday's Worcester County Times there is an article about the State Highway Administration making plans on putting in a traffic signal on Rt.113 at the new Worcester County Tech Center in Newark.
The county has spent millions on this Tech Center; Worcester County residents are excited to have it, and students are looking forward to attending classes within it's walls.
The article focused on Commissioner Virgil Shockely and his feelings on the matter and what he believed his constituents would think about it.
He like I am and many others in Worcester County are deeply concerned and confused on why and how the state can pay for a signaled intersection at the school yet not have a signal at the intersection at Rt113 and Rt12.
The Rt. 12 intersection has had numerous accidents over the years and 13 people have died while dodging traffic there.
Last year a Worcester County woman name Linda Vreehland, collected close to 1000 signatures on a petition to have a signal installed at the Rt.12, and submitted them to the SHA during a meeting where they told the public that a traffic light would be dangerous there, but instead we needed a clover leaf to eliminate the problems....but the cloverleaf will cost millions of dollars, and, they don't have it.
So, Worcester County cant' have what it wants, because they said it is not a good place to have a signal. In fact in a letter that I received from them last year when I responded to this issue I was told that a signal would actually cause more accidents, than it would prevent.
Now, we are being told that the Rt.12 intersection doesn't even compare in the amount of traffic that the new Tech Center will have and they could not justify it.
Yet the Tech Center is in the middle of the biggest curves in the road from both directions but a traffic signal there is somehow appropriate and won't cause more accidents.
They are saying of course it is because of the School Buses coming in and out of the property, and for safety reasons they must have it.
For those of you aren't familiar with the area; the entrance to the Landfill is directly next to entrance of the Tech Center and Donnie Drewyer of the SHA says that the planned intersection doesn't include this road as well. So now we will have school buses using an intersection and right next to it the trucks traveling in and out of the landfill all day will fend for themselves right next to the signal Needless to say this brings up more confusion, as well feelings that this is more poor planning coming to fruition.
The people of Worcester County want to cross Rt.12 safely with a traffic light no matter what the SHA says, and the people of Worcester County also want their children to be able to get to and from the new Tech Center in a safe manner.
It is not either or, it is when.
In order to successfully join the two ends of the county, physically, and financially, we must make a safe way of travel to and from the north to the south and we should not delay the matter any longer.

There was a fantastic turn out for the Tractor Pull Friday night. Not only were there more Tractors then expected, the spectators overwhelmed this group as well.
Now I'm not into Farming but the word on the street is Congressional Candidate Andy Harris showed up on Saturday and spent time with everyone there. I hope the Posts we provided here helped get more people out to the Show and everyone enjoyed it.

Where the hell is my Sunday Paper? I called the DT and got their automated computer. They claim they're going to credit me but they also claimed there was an extremely high volume of calls right now, so I must not be alone.
At least I'll be comforted in knowing that within 15 minutes of me posting this, I'll get my paper special delivery. That is, if there's one to be gotten?

Returning Marine -- 8/21/08
BRIAN MASON RETURNS!
Brian Mason - a resident of Quantico Creek Estates in Hebron, MD - a graduate of Mardela High School - a two year Marine - is returning from a 6-month tour of duty in Iraq on Thursday, August 21st!!!!!
His plane is scheduled to arrive in Salisbury Airport at 5:30pm. The tentative plan is for him to be escorted to Hebron by the Sheriff’s Department and a convoy of motorcycles - and we are assuming he will arrive at the Main Street of Hebron approximately 6:30ish.
We want to line Main Street of Hebron with welcoming people - waving flags and applauding him and the job our military is doing for us.
Will you please join us?
Will you please pass the word to everybody you know?
Let’s have all of this county (that isn't welcoming him at the airport) on the Main Street of Hebron - and at the entrance of Quantico Creek Estates - on Thursday evening!
YIPPEE! BRIAN IS COMING HOME!!!!

Hole in the Wall ??? Or the Head?
A photo still from Japanese game show,"Hole in the Wall"I have just seen a promo ad on Fox for an upcoming game show titled "Hole in the Wall", which will actually be an American version of a popular Japanese game show of the same name that soared to popularity on YouTube as well as foreign television.
The premise is contestants must "contort" their bodies to fit thru a moving barrier wall( as seen in above photo) or be tossed into a pool.The actual shapes of the hole in each wall will change and get increasingly more difficult.Some have compared it to "human Tetris".Hmm...
What is next ?Live-action "Twister" games ?"Watching Paint Dry"? I enjoy reality/game shows as much as anyone, but some of them are downright ridiculous. Fox's "Moment of Truth" is like Jerry Springers show without the fights and cursing and with more attractive guests and do not even get me started on the music/dance/singing reality shows.I only watch the audition phase of American Idol to goof on the very BAD auditions( don't hate on me, we ALL know we do it!). I LOVE the better Fox reality shows, like the original reality show,"COPS"; and "Hells Kitchen" and as far as primetime goes, Fox has given us GREAT programs like "Americas Most Wanted","Prison Break","24" and "The Simpsons", just to name a few,but I get the feeling they are jumping the shark with "Hole in the Wall". It will attract a large audience but eventually they will run out of steam-I just do not think a show with nothing to offer but people jumping through walls in a horizontal limbo dance is going to keep the fleeting attention of primetime viewers.Only time will tell....A pilot will be filmed later this year to air on Fox.
Don't Tell Me Gordy Has Lines!
.jpg)
.jpg)
I have been challenged to go out and take a random photograph of a Gordy Tiger Mart and since I was heading into town not too long ago, (within the past hour or so) I took these photos. The first was at Nanticoke Road, (ONE VEHICLE) and then over by the Shorebirds on Rt. 50, TWO VEHICLES.
I proceeded over to the Farm Show where I spoke with an elderly gentleman working the Republican Club Booth and he told me he was sick and tired of buying gas at any of Gordy's Stations because he asked the manager numerous times if he could put a Andy Harris Sign up to be fair. The Manager gave this gentleman Gordy's telephone number and he said he called him 5 times and has NEVER received a call back after leaving messages.
This gentleman stated that he buys at least $200.00 a month worth of gas and he'll be damned if he'll ever shop there again. So don't tell me that by posting the information about the Kratovil Signs and then lower gas prices that people are lining up at Gordy Marts to buy their gas. The are around 6 to 8 cents higher than MOST gas stations around the City of Salisbury.
Because of their higher prices, they're losing business, period. The pictures don't lie and believe me when I tell you, I'm NOT waiting around to take pictures of a Gordy Mart. It is what it is, DEAL WITH IT. Then put up Harris Signs or continue to lose business. That's their choice. The funny part to me is, Gordy doesn't believe this Blog is as powerful as it truly is. Very dumb move, very dumb decision.
By the way, Sam's Club is now $3.49 a gallon and Gordy is $3.59 a gallon.
One Year Ago On Friday
.jpg)
It seems the Governor of Maryland likes to come to Salisbury on August 15th because he was out here exactly on that date visiting the Honorable Cannon Family at their home last year on Riverside Drive. You remember, the Governor stopped his Press Conference and said, Joe, did I just read you were the #1 Blogger in the State of Maryland? Then he congratulated me and I immediately said, can I ask you a question on that note? He replied, sure. I said, you've got Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis and here you are on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, all of the major politics are going on West of Salisbury, does that tell you what's going on here on the Eastern Shore? He replied, I go to your Blog every day Joe, especially when I want to know what's going on here on the Eastern Shore.
Well, it's a year later Michael and guess what, I'm still the #1 Blogger in the State of Maryland. Governor, call me because we seriously need to talk!
Shanie Responds To A Concerned Citizen About Recent Crime
I emailed the City Council about my concerns regarding increased Salisbury crime (the lady who spoke about her home invasion is a friend of mine).
This is Shanie's absurd response.
"Of course there is crime in Salisbury. If it wasn't we would not need law enforcement. I still do not believe our crime is as high as Baltimore's. People can do anything they want with numbers. A few days ago a lady in Baltimore ask a person who lived on her street if he would move his car up a little so she could get out of her car. He got out of his car shoved her. When her husband came out to see what was happening, the man shot him twice and killed him. This incident is like an ever day occurance. We do not have murder every day of the week like Philadelphia. How often does a bank get robbed. How often is a child kidnapped or murdered.
My son in 1992 was murdered a block from where I was born. I believe that our Police Department, Sheriff's Department and State police are doing a great job. As our city and county population increases we may see an increase in crime but the stats are on the Salisbury Police Website. Shoplifting is one of the crimes that has been increasing due to more stores being open.
One thing that is missing is respect for older people and people in general. Young people today do not respect authority or even their parents. When I was coming up I feared the police, my pastor and teachers not today.
Shane"

Ray Lewis, Still Running Things?
While A.S.A.P. & Ray Lewis continue to advertise, I just can't see who in Wicomico County would be willing to do business with that company.
Then again, look how many Idiots voted Gary Comegys back into Office as well as Barrie Tilghman! I guess people here are as stupid as the people who voted Marion Barry back into office in Washington, D.C.
I can tell you this. You would NEVER catch me doing business with that company. Use your cell phones Folks. I'd like to see these vehicles parked in front of some one's home or business, wouldn't you?
State Grabs Home Over Unpaid Parking Ticket!
New York Renovator
August 4, 2008
Surprised? It’s happening again. A
“Our goal isn’t to acquire parcels,” said Jim Klajbor, special deputy city treasurer. “Our goal is to just collect taxes. . . . It is only as a last resort that we would pursue . . . foreclosure.”
I’m sorry Mr. Special Deputy City Treasurer. That might not be your INTENTION, but it certainly was your GOAL, because you DID IT. OK, so the homeowner, a Mr. Tubic, has not paid his parking ticket. How did he get that parking ticket, anyway?
Tubic first got the fine for parking his Ford E150 with no license plates in the driveway of the home, which belonged to his parents at the time. The radiator had broken and Tubic couldn’t get his plates renewed unless the van passed an emissions test. He didn’t have the money to make the repair and had more pressing worries, he said.
His father was suffering from dementia. His mother was battling cancer, and he was their live-in caretaker. He needed to shop, cook, clean, maintain the house and tend to his parents’ needs.
The van repair could wait, he thought.
Then a man from the city showed up and told him otherwise. It was February 2004. Tubic would have to move the van or get license plates for it within 30 days, per city zoning codes, the man said. Somebody had complained.
His van was without license plates and was parked in his driveway?! That’s it?! Where else is he going to park his own van until he fixes it? The city park? So now it’s illegal to park your own vehicle on your own property unless your vehicle meets government “emissions” guidelines and is registered by the government?? Argh!
Tubic is a 62-year old disabled man, on Social Security and “has been diagnosed with psychological disorders that limit his ‘ability to understand, remember and carry out detailed instructions,’ according to documents from the administration.” He has degenerative diseases of the knees and spine, and other ailments. The guy is in poor shape and is an emotional disaster. The poor guy! I really have compassion in him.
HOWEVER– even if the guy was a 250-pound, muscular and wealthy socialite with a Hitler-like moustache, NO ONE’S HOME SHOULD EVER BE CONFISCATED LIKE THIS! It makes me so angry! I don’t want to rehash all the other posts I’ve written about this subject– you can read more about it on my post, How To Create a Serfdom, which is exactly what the government and their fascist corporations are doing to us. These tyrants are just DROOLING, waiting for the moment when they can seize our properties, aren’t they?? Couldn’t they have taken the guy’s CAR, since it was a parking ticket? Couldn’t they have revoked his license, or something? P.S. Tubic did continue to pay his property taxes.
Just remember what Thomas Jefferson said would happen to us if we continue to allow these bullies to keep this up: “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” Thomas Jefferson

Maryland Politics Today
Mr. Kenny Burns from the Maryland Politics Blog, also a Co Writer for Salisbury News came to visit the new Salisbury News Building Friday. I was also able to arrange a special walk through for him at WBOC's new Studio Facility. Kenny said he's put together a Post explaining the more technical side of what he saw as he's in the business and knows it well.
Thanks for coming by Kenny. As always, it's great to see you one on one and as you saw, there's an Office here for you any time you'd like. Kenny resides in Laurel, Maryland and was a Guest Speaker at the MACO Conference in Ocean City. He was asked to speak on behalf of Maryland Bloggers and what I believe they called the New Media.
