WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND – March 16, 2024 After the State’s Attorney and Sheriff presented a video on February 15, 2024 to address their continued concerns regarding the lack of cooperation on school safety, the Worcester County Board of Education issued a statement: As stewards of the safety, well-being, and education of the thousands of students in Worcester County Public Schools (WCPS), the Board of Education and school system staff will no longer be engaging in public statement trading with law enforcement officials. We believe it is counterproductive, and our focus must remain on keeping our schools the safe and welcoming learning environments that our students and…

A Virginia woman who says she cut down a tree in her yard after a tree fell on their home and killed her husband last year is embroiled in a dispute with her homeowners association. Last July, Alan Lee was killed when a tree crashed through his house while he was taking a shower. “He was a part of our daily life,” said his wife, Rachel Lee. “He was very devoted to the kids and me. He just wanted to make sure everyone was happy all the time.” She recently hired a contractor to remove the remaining trees in her…

WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND – February 5, 2024 Back in 2021, the Worcester County Board of Education was addressed on numerous occasions, including multiple public comments regarding the Marxist fists found on wall of Pocomoke High School.

This report was put out by an organization back in 2021 that explains the background behind the clenched fist, and how it has evolved under militant groups such as the new Black Panther Party and BLM. If you have not read the report,…

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. Here is a picture of the Strand prior to the “restoration:” Here are the pictures today after the restoration has been “settling”…

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. Like bicycles, all traffic laws apply, including stops signs, traffic signals, and yielding right of way to vehicles and pedestrians. Many of the bird scooter riders do not wear helmets as required under Maryland law nor do they obey traffic laws. We suggest you install a three channel dash cam in your vehicle to protect…

This prayer was given in Kansas, USA, at the opening session of their Senate in 1996. It seems prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard: Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness, and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good.’ And that’s exactly what we’ve done. We’ve lost our spiritual equilibrium. We’ve inverted our values. We confess that we’ve ridiculed…

WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND – March 4, 2024 Upon reading the “Former SDHS Teacher Charged With Child Abuse” article in Ocean City Today of February 15, 2024, which I found buried on page 22, I was appalled.  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…
