Thursday, July 3 - Public Parking Not Planned For Former Library Site

A new state-of-the-art Ocean City branch of the Worcester County Library is now open on 100th Street. It was noted at the time that the long-term...READ MORE

Thoughts From The Publishers Desk

Berlin was aptly chosen as the site for Gov. Martin O'Malley to announce this year's new entrants into the Main Street Maryland program. Of course, Berlin was one of the five new members, joined by Annapolis, Chestertown, Middletown and Princess Anne. The town nearly missed out on this excellent public relations opportunity and just got in its application submitted in time, thanks to Main Street administrator Michael Day driving it to Annapolis. There's no question this is a fluff designation,...READ MORE

Bike Week Plans To Spread Out To Six Shore Sites

OCEAN CITY - 'This year we ride,' is the theme that aptly sums up the driving force behind the new Delmarva Bike Week itinerary, with the traditional anchor location at Ocean Downs out and six different locations across Delmarva in for the 2008 motorcycle event. Delmarva Bike Week, typically the banner event for the fall season in the resort, will be held from Sept. 11-14 this year, but with a unique twist.

The investigation revealed traffic was stopped and waiting for the light to change in the southbound lanes of Coastal Highway. Liam Canavan, 29, of...READ MORE

Md. Officials Oppose Lifting Offshore Oil Drilling Ban

OCEAN CITY - With the price at the pump steadily rising, the debate over a decades-long moratorium on offshore drilling for oil along the nation's coastlines, including right here in Maryland, has intensified in recent weeks, but state elected officials are clearly of one mind when it comes to lifting the prohibition. Last week, President Bush along with GOP presidential candidate John McCain called for ending the moratorium on offshore drilling for oil and natural gas that has been in place for...READ MORE

OC Security Guard Saves Child's Life With Infant CPR

School Board Defends Overrun In Face Of Criticism

NEWARK - While the Worcester County Commissioners claimed that they had not been told about the school system cost overruns at last Tuesday's meeting, Superintendent of Schools Jon Andes said this week that the commissioners were informed in writing of the excess costs in November and again in the school board budget this spring. 'We sent the County Commissioners a letter in November stating we anticipated these areas would be over budget,' Andes said. Several commissioners criticized the Board...READ MORE

Teen With Tragic Local Link Runs Into More Trouble

SNOW HILL - The tragic story of a then 18-year-old Pennsylvania high school graduate Benjamin Walter, who struck and killed another recent graduate on Coastal Highway in June 2005, took another turn last week when Walter was sentenced to four months of jail time for violating the terms of his probation with a second DUI arrest in his home state.

School's Now In For Some

OCEAN CITY - School may be out for summer in Worcester County, but that doesn't mean hundreds of students across the county won't be working overtime for a few weeks over the next couple months to improve their skills and enjoy a few of the programs offered through the Worcester County Summer Academy. Summer school often carries with it a negative connotation, evoking images of weeks of remedial math and English while the rest of the students enjoy their freedom. Such is not the case, however,...READ MORE

Water's Sodium Levels Could Be Cause For Concern

BERLIN - Recently released 2007 water quality reports for two major and two smaller Worcester County service areas show low levels of contaminants and enough sodium to concern those on low-salt regimens.

Medical advice calls for salt-restricted patients to drink water with less than 20 parts per million...READ MORE

Covered-Call Strategy Can Help In A Slow Market

BERLIN - Analysts may be expecting a relatively flat market through 2008, but that doesn't mean your portfolio has to stagnate.

It can also generate additional income from your equity positions without disrupting your long-term investment approach. Here's how a covered call works: In exchange for the premium you receive from...READ MORE

My Thoughts

Organization breeds disunity. This is an oxymoron but that does not mean it's not true. It's a fact. Any group of people that band together must have an outside influence to light the spark of unity that keeps them together. Man, in his need to belong, has broken up society into hundreds of separate groups that have been pitting themselves against each other ever since the beginning of mankind. Today, this disunity of unity continues and on an ever-increasing scale. The Catholic religion...READ MORE
