By Jan Greenhawk March 15, 2024 The Oxford Strand Shoreline has been in the news recently because of the controversial nature of the restoration that seems to be doing more harm than good to the iconic landmark. The following pictures of the Strand were taken on Friday, March 15, and show alarming erosion that appears to be occurring at a higher pace than prior to the work which brought in tons of sand that now seem to have disappeared.

WICOMICO COUNTY, MARYLAND – March 15, 2024 If you look around the streets of Salisbury you will see Bird scooters parked in many locations or left on sidewalks, roadways, and even on private properties. You will also see college students, and young children riding them.

This should have made front page news. Reporting Requirements of Sexual Incidents of a teacher with a student have been on the books since the 1960’s. The current Superintendent of Worcester County had a moral obligation to report and make sure it was put in the teacher’s employment file to protect other children. Reporting it to your supervisor does not relieve you of your…
