Free Alzheimer’s classes

set for family caregivers

EASTON - Home Instead Senior Care is offering a unique approach to help area families in Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Dorchester, and Caroline Counties manage the challenges of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, diseases that eventually rob seniors of their memories and independence.

The Alzheimer’s or Other Dementias CARE: Changing Aging through Research and Education Training Program is a personal way to help families care for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease at home, where 60 to 70 percent live, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. 

The program for family caregivers or professionals consists of four classes: Alzheimer’s Disease or Other Dementias Overview; Capturing Life’s Journey; Techniques to Manage Behaviors; and Activities to Encourage Engagement. 

The classes will be held at Delmarva Community Services, 2450 Cambridge Beltway on June 26 and 28 from 1-5 p.m. both days.  For more information about free family caregiver training, and to register for the classes, contact the local Home Instead Senior Care office at 410-822-1230 or visit www.helpforalzheimersfamilies.com.

Thank you to everyone who voted for me. It was a wonderful victory, and a big thank you to all the republicans that made it possible! I truly could not have done it without you and your horrible stances on social issues and your ridiculous comments. You have made the GOP a thing of the past. Your racism, hate, and ignorance will leave a lasting impression on the American people so that we no longer have to deal with the likes of a party that is stuck in rewind. Thank you again and I look forward to serving you for four more years. God bless you and god bless america.

what are you some kind of looney?

Could this be a man made storm? If you know anything about Haarp it is a possibility. Haarp stands for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, look it up.Could it have been made to effect the election in some weird way? Who it could effect I'm not sure, I have not looked that far into it yet. They did name it Frankenstorm after Frankenstein a man made monster. Let see what it effects. This could get interesting.

2. Clayton Williams: “If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it” - mid 1990 Gubernatorial race in Texas

3.  Chuck Winder: “I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.” - March 2012

4.  Ken Buck: “A jury could very well conclude that this is a case of buyer’s remorse … It appears to me … you invited him over… the appearance is of consent.” - October 2010

6.Richard Mourdock: “life is that gift from God,” and “even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

Viking Cross-Country collects food for DCS pantry

The Cambridge-South Dorchester High School Cross-Country Team held a fund-raising run on Saturday. Part of the entry fee was canned or dry food to benefit Delmarva Community Services, Inc.’s Community Action Program pantry. Student athletes, coaches, parents and other participants made generous contributions to feed the hungry of Dorchester County. Dave Ryan of DCS is seen preparing to deliver the items to the pantry.

I should have posted this earlier, I know it's late notice, but I thought even if someone didn't want to race, he or she could still bring an item or two to help the pantry and support the athletes during Homecoming. Thanks for considering this!

Council, DCS struggle

over cost of programs

in Aug. 7 meeting

By Dave Ryan

Delmarva Community Services

CAMBRIDGE – The future of regional transportation remains in question following Tuesday’s meeting of the Dorchester County Council, at which council members and officials of Delmarva Community Services, Inc. were unable to reach a funding compromise.

The council has linked DCS’ withdrawal of support to its South Dorchester senior satellite program – where 18 individuals are registered – to county contributions towards DCS’ fleet of 70 buses which serve the general public and the disabled on the Mid- and Upper Shore.

In Dorchester alone last year, nearly 200,000 rides were completed.

In a June 22 letter to DCS, Council President Jay Newcomb wrote, “…we would like to receive notification as to when the Golden Hill Center will reopen based on this fiscal year funding.”

Dorchester County’s level of support for DCS’ transit and care for the aging is well below that of the three other counties served by the agency. Dorchester’s allocation this year to transportation is $20,507, with $45,000 going to the senior centers.

According their websites, Talbot this year is allocating $90,500 to transportation and $163,155 to the senior center; Caroline has $75,000 for transportation and $46,362 to the senior center; and Kent has $94,419 for transportation and $100,804 to the senior center.

In relation to their total budgets, this represents .12 percent for Dorchester; .36 percent for Talbot; .29 percent for Caroline; and .46 percent for Kent.

The council cut support to DCS in fiscal 2011 by 50 percent, forcing the non-profit agency to reduce its Cambridge and Hurlock senior center operations to three days a week each. There was no money, however, to run the South Dorchester satellite, which up to that point had been funded solely by DCS.

Meal service and a single staffer were subsequently withdrawn from the satellite.

On July 3, the council rejected DCS’ compromise offer of reopening the site for two days a month. At that meeting, Councilman Rick Travers cast the only vote for compromise.

In the current fiscal year, the council has divided its $65,507 contribution, specifying $15,000 each for the two senior centers and for the satellite. The remaining $20,507 would go to fund medical transportation.

By specifying the use of the funds, however, the county has prevented DCS from using the money to leverage matching state and federal grants critical to the continued operation of the entire transportation system. “We needed to put the bulk of the money into transit,” DCS President/CEO Santo Grande said.

DCS Finance Director Cathy Frey said, “This designation of $15,000 for each site removes our flexibility.”

Councilman Newcomb questioned the original decision to withdraw all support to the satellite, saying “It’s just so hard to cut the seniors.”

Seniors from the program told the councilmen that they very much looked forward to attending the meetings once again with DCS support. They continue to gather periodically at the site, provided by a local church.

On Tuesday, Mr. Grande presented DCS’ most recent compromise offer, stated in a July 13 letter to County Manager Jane Baynard.

Mr. Grande wrote, “Our agency is willing to provide three days per month service to the DCS, Inc. South Dorchester satellite program during the months of September through May, (nine months). I would again like to remind you that the service during the summer is very difficult to provide because of a shortage of staff due to vacations, the cost of fuel and food. This compromise supplants our original desire to serve South Dorchester only two days per month for twelve months. I believe this proposal is significantly different and very generous in lieu of our original proposal to eliminate service to South Dorchester. Please remember that the key to quality senior services to the seniors of Dorchester County is the ability to provide them with safe and reliable transportation.”

Nancy Hastings of the South Dorchester Good Neighbor Project suggested that DCS offer 42 days a year, possibly with no hot lunch as a means of cutting expenses. Mr. Grande pointed out that meal service is an integral part of senior services.

After more than an hour of sometimes vigorous discussion, Councilman Travers supported the 42-day plan, adding, “I feel like we’re much closer than we have been.”

“If we don’t get this worked out, you don’t get the money you need, you don’t get transportation, nobody gets where they need to go,” he said.

Councilman William Nichols called for compromise while noting that the county has had its own state funding drastically reduced. “We’re going to have to meet in the middle,” he said. “We lost $4 million on a $54 million budget.”

He also cited the cost of teachers’ pensions and an impending drop in tax revenue following what he expects to be lower state property assessments.

“If everybody thinks it’s bad now, wait until next year,” he said. “I’m not crying, I’m telling you how it is.”

Council members and DCS officials agreed to discuss the issue further prior to the council’s next meeting on Sept. 4.

Most likely the banner will have it in next month they are always late with any news that happens.

That Cambridge for you. And our county council. they could care less.  the bus not only helps the elderly and disabled but others who take it. too.

So now it may be more people out of work, and more people trying to find a way to get around, town. And we have no mass tranisit

Not one tid bit about the Cambridge fire in the Banner or on their site.  For info look here  http://www.ricksyakshack.com/view_topic.php?id=3640&forum_id=1

no one cares

no one cares

Try filling my Vett up with fuel and see what real cost means.

let me fix my amounts its $2.00 one way and $4.00 round trip, so that equals $20.00 a week and $80.00 a month,  I have the paper on this and the prices.

The buses do not go every place in Dorchester county, and at the time they go, some people would be late for work. And plus at $2.00 round trip, and $20.00 a week,

and $80.00 a month, it get to be expensive.  Plus for a person that has to be in work by 7 am lets say they for sure would be late.  And  the buses, they have serve different area's and do not go to the some places. At an early hour. Plus they stop the bus sevice at 5:30  pm so if a person gets out of work at 6pm or after good luck in getting home.  taxis do not run late at night either.  This town need some really good buses, that go all over, and some mass tranist, that would take people to Salisbury for work easton, and more.  We do not have that.

no one cares

At least our leaders at DCS and the county are still talking. We all hope they can work out a compromise. I just spoke to Steve Fisher of WBOC TV, who is on his way to our Hurlock center to gather more information and video for a story on tonight's news. We appreciate very much his time and effort in exploring this story. He is also trying to get Council President Jay Newcomb on the phone for a comment.

So taxes raised and programs cut just as I expected.

By law, the commissioners have to hold a public hearing, because they have effectively canceled the contract the county has with the Maryland Transportation Authority to help provide public transportation. 

So what's gonna happen?

County budget move

threatens bus service

Commissioners reject

DCS compromise offer

By Dave Ryan

Delmarva Community Services

CAMBRIDGE – Times are tough all around, and they could get tougher for local senior citizens, the disabled and the general public following the Dorchester County commissioners’ 4-1 rejection of a funding compromise offered by Delmarva Community Services, Inc.

Leaders of the non-profit agency, employer of 200 local residents, were seeking a way to stretch limited funds to serve seniors, especially those at a small South Dorchester satellite program, while keeping its fleet of 70 buses on the road. The decision came during the councilmen’s July 3 meeting.

Councilman Rick Travers (District 3) cast the sole vote for compromise.

Rejection of the compromise means the county government no longer provides matching funds needed to leverage state and federal grant money necessary to keep the award-winning public transportation system operating.

The compromise was specified by DCS President/CEO Santo Grande in a June 27 letter to County Manager Jane Baynard.

Mr. Grande wrote, “Since our agency must have [county] matching cash funds to draw down Public Transportation Section 5311, we are requesting that $15,000 be allocated to assist with opening our South Dorchester satellite program two days per month or every other Wednesday…The balance of $50,507 would be committed to the required matching funds for public transportation.”

Councilmen who voted to reject the compromise were Jay Newcomb (District 1), William V. Nichols (District 2), Rick Price (District 4) and Tom Bradshaw (District 5).

Delmarva Community Transit, a branch of Delmarva Community Services, Inc. (DCS) was named the best rural transportation system in the nation in 2007 by the Community Transportation Association of America. Thousands of county residents depend on the routes to take them to their jobs, doctor’s offices and pharmacies, as well as to buy groceries and other necessities.

The buses completed more than 200,000 passenger trips in Dorchester in 2011. All are equipped with wheelchair lifts.

The transit system is an integral part of the organization’s wide-ranging programs, which serve senior citizens, the general public, veterans, individuals living in poverty, the developmentally disabled and the Spanish-speaking community.

The council has linked its funding to DCS with last year’s closing of South Dorchester’s Golden Hill satellite program for seniors, which served about 20 individuals. In a letter from County Manager Jane Baynard signed by Councilman Jay Newcomb to Mr. Grande dated June 22, Mr. Newcomb wrote, “I am writing on behalf of the County Council of Dorchester County regarding the fiscal year 2012-2013 budget…In particular, we would like to receive notification as to when the Golden Hill Center will reopen based on this FY funding.”

DCS runs senior centers in Hurlock and Cambridge, both of which are open to all county seniors. Both operate primarily on state money.

Following Hurricane Irene in 2009, DCS leaders recognized a need for a center in South Dorchester, and began a program there, paying for it from DCS’ own limited funds.

In fiscal year 2010, the Dorchester County Council contributed $131,013 to DCS’ operations. In fiscal 2011, this was cut to $65,507, despite warnings from DCS that this would adversely affect programs – though DCS receives funds from a variety of sources, virtually all of it is restricted for specified uses and cannot be transferred.

DCS was then forced to reduce its senior centers’ operations to three days a week, though the schedule was staggered in such a way between Hurlock and Cambridge that service could still be offered to all the county’s seniors four days a week.

There was no way, however, for DCS to maintain the South Dorchester satellite program out of its own pocket, and the organization withdrew its meal service and single staff member.

In deliberations for the fiscal year 2012-2013 budget, the councilmen specified $15,000 each for the Hurlock and Cambridge senior centers, with another $15,000 for the Golden Hill satellite, and $20,507 marked for medical transportation. An additional $32,201 will go to developmental disabilities services.

By specifying how the funds are to be used – something the council had not done in previous years – the councilmen prevented DCS leaders from using $65,000 as they had in the past, to leverage state and federal funds for transportation, as required by law.

In a letter to a local newspaper, DCS Board of Directors Chairperson William Batson wrote, “Because of our decision to reduce service days to our senior centers, the council made a hasty decision to earmark future allocations for senior center services only, thus leaving other programs like transportation and services to the homeless and people in poverty without county support. Such earmarking also affects seniors needing transportation and home-delivered meals. In other words, the council will give us half the usual funding and then tell us how to spend the money without a clear understanding as to how we prioritize the services to meet the most critical needs.”

I find these forums boring.

Give http://www.ricksyakshack.com/ a try I like it...

Most of the old newszappers are now posting on http://www.ricksyakshack.com/  R.I.P Farmer...

Try www.ricksyakshack.com . There are several old Newszap members there and posting.

There is more information and a picture at www.ricksyakshack.com

I remember Famer for a long time on here that is sad news, RIP FARMER you will be missed.  And prayers to farmers family in this time of there loss.

Wish they hadn't changed the forums because it seems so many who used to participate are no longer here to receive this news. I did know that about shock trauma; yes, it would seem toxic or septic shock would be the cause for entrance. I did not know Farmer in person but he shared so much of himself that when I read the obituary, it was precisely in line with everything he represented here. I know he enjoyed making wine from grapes he grew; that was a subject we discussed because I am friends with a farming family who is starting to do the same.

Greetings Scrapple.

I ask the family's forgiveness if I get this wrong (and remain miffed we can't edit our posts if something is wrong). To my understanding, he was working outside, got a cut or bite or something, that became badly infected. I am not sure if an amputation needed to be done or not.

I'm sure you know, but others might not, that medical shock includes non-trauma occurences, so I am guessing he was at shock-trauma for perhaps septic shock.

I think his mishap occurred in mid, if not early, spring.

He will be missed indeed. He was one of the first Zap members I came across on the old forum and I enjoyed his posts.

Won't let me reply to your post, Pete but that is just terrible news. He was one of the most evenhanded, genuine people on the old forums and far too young for this fate. How did it happen? I see Shock Trauma mentioned. Was there an accident? So sorry for his family. R.I.P., Farmer, you were a good man.

Agreed. Really gummed-up navigation.

Reporter Cleo Greene is live in Cambridge at the scene of a 4,000 gallon gasoline leak.  The Cambridge Fire Chief says around 11 last night, a pick up truck driver crashed through the gate at Aero Energy, hit a pipe, caused the leak and fled the scene.  Clean up is underway now.  Residents are urged not to be alarmed if they smell gasoline in the air in Cambridge. (ck) (Nothing to be alarmed about it's just 4 thousand gallons of gasoline that leaked around your neighborhood and in your soil. Good luck signed 1lb Bologna)

If any are here from the old Newszap that remember farmer and if you have not registered at Rickeyshack you might not know that farmer has passed away.

BES personal piggy bank of Robbins and "BORED" since opened -- do your research

How horrible. the Fdic just walks and and says they are closed. they surprise them all. And a mean way to go about things. I was there today to get my money out. and the place was packed with people all the way out the door. And these people were making coffee acting like there was zero wrong. they are cruel.  A home town bank shut up. And I heard there are a few more places in town are in trouble. Like the national bank of cambridge but because of being in business for over 100 years they are saved. I feel so sorry for all the employees and sonny.

I agree.  This is horrible.

from FDIC – Bank of the Eastern Shore – April 27, 2012 On Friday, April 27, 2012, Bank of the Eastern Shore located in Cambridge, Maryland was closed by the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was appointed Receiver. No advance notice is given to the public when a financial institution is closed. To protect insured depositors, the FDIC has created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Eastern Shore. It will remain open until May 25, 2012. The purpose of the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Eastern Shore is to provide critical banking services and time to transfer your accounts to another insured Bank or Thrift. To reduce any disruption to you, all insured funds will remain available to you throughout this period. There is no need for you to come to the bank. You may continue to write checks, use your ATM cards, as usual through the dates indicated below. However, bill pay will be discontinued and online banking will be disabled over the weekend and will be brought back online Monday, April 30, 2012 and until it is permanently disabled on 5/14/2012. Please note: Normal weekend ATM card limits will continue to be in effect as follows: ATM: $610 (Some ATMS have lower limits; however, you may withdraw from other ATMS up to a total of $610.) Point-of-sale (POS): $500 As soon as possible during this period, you should make arrangements to transfer your account to another insured bank or thrift. If you have not made arrangements by May 25, 2012, the FDIC will mail you a check for the full insured balance of your account on May 31, 2012. Interest will not be paid after Friday, April 27, 2012. CDS and IRAS: If you have a CD or IRA account, the FDIC will mail a check for your insured balance to your mailing address on record with Bank of the Eastern Shore. Checks will be mailed on Monday, April 30, 2012. IF THIS DEPOSIT INSURANCE CHECK REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FROM A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT, you should consult IRS Publication 590 and/or your tax advisor concerning the possible tax consequences of such distribution. This publication specifically addresses an exception to the waiting period between rollovers in this situation; therefore, you should review it carefully. This Publication may be obtained by contacting your local IRS office or via the internet at [url=wlmailhtml:{77AFE64F-B938-4481-ADFD-BA15B871A307}mid://00000020/!x-usc:]http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p590.pdf?source=govdelivery]http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p590.pdf[/url]. DIRECT DEPOSITS: All direct deposits, including Social Security checks, will continue through May 18, 2012. You must contact the originator of your direct deposit or automatic withdrawal as soon as possible and provide them with your new banking information. THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT: (Be sure to leave enough funds in your account to cover any outstanding checks) The quickest and easiest way is to write a check for your available balance, then deposit that check into an account at another financial institution. Request a wire transfer for the available balance to another financial institution. Ask for a "no fee" Cashier's Check or Money Order. Critical Dates and Information: Immediately: Automatic payments will no longer be processed 5/14/2012: Bill Pay and on-line banking will be disabled over the weekend and back online 4/30/2012. They will be permanently disabled on 5/14/2012 May 14: ATM/Debit Card services will be deactivated and discontinued. May 18: Final day to accept direct deposits. May 18: Walk-in deposits will no longer be accepted May 25: Final day for drive-through window transaction For more details on the closure of Bank of the Eastern Shore, please refer to the Press Release on the website listed below: [url=wlmailhtml:{77AFE64F-B938-4481-ADFD-BA15B871A307}mid://00000020/!x-usc:]http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/easternshore.html?source=govdelivery]http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/easternshore.html[/url] Question and Answer Guide The FDIC has also established the following website where you may view the Frequently Asked Questions Guide, which will be updated on an ongoing basis: [url=wlmailhtml:{77AFE64F-B938-4481-ADFD-BA15B871A307}mid://00000020/!x-usc:]http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/easternshore_q_and_a.html?source=govdelivery]http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/easternshore_q_and_a.html[/url] SCAMS: Be watchful and resist any scams to obtain information from you by individuals or entities stating that they are acting on behalf of either the failed bank or the FDIC.

Sorry, I meant Police Chief not Sheriff. As for the audit, doesn't Hurlock charge by the tap.

If that is correct then a person living alone in a large older house with a lot of bathrooms would be paying more than a family of 5 living in a house with one bathroom even though the larger family would have a lot more water usage.

However, I dont see how an aduit would help set fees since your town does not have meters to monitor household water usage and any fee based on that would simply be an estimate and not a fair way to charge.

First of all it was Police Chief Small not Sheriff Small, and the townspeople do diserve to know if and how much of a settlement he was paid from our town treasury; how well our town officals handle the towns business is what we judge them on come reelection time. I am curious why after some 40 years town officials have chosen to do an audit of home water uses at this time, could it be they're looking to raise some extra funds or something?  

Hurlock has settled the case with former Sheriff Small in his wrongful termination suit. However, part of the settlement involves a confidentiality clause which means no one can know how much Hurlock paid to settle that suit.

Shouldn't the residents of Hurlock have the right to know how much money was paid to settle this case out of court and why it was settled in this manner.

I throught you meant the maryland avenue in Wilmington.

maryland ave In cambridge. Where DGH is.

Are you the Zeke that works for the city of Cambridge?

Now that we have spent millions to repair the sidewalks we decided to try and blacktop the street as well. Should have quit while they were ahead, the street was smoother after they milled it than it is now after they blacktopped it.  The worst job I've ever seen and we paid for it.  The icing on the cake is they tried to paint the center yellow lines on part of it and did it twice, now we have four lines instead of two, but who can count.

Which Maryland avenue?

What is with these new lamp posts on maryland ave? what is that all about?

Anyone know.

This site is useless. its terrible.

It still sucks.

On April 1st, 2012, the Reedy & Roop family (from Choptank Drive, East New Market, MD) were forcefully evicted from their home while they were sleeping when a fire engulfed their house in flames. They lost everything, nothing was able to be saved. Thankfully, everyone made it out of the house safely before the fire got the chance to take over the whole home. The family is looking for help to regain their life and try to get a new permanenthome. Any monetary donations will greatly be appreciated. 

The family is also looking for the following items:

School Supplies
Furniture
Toiletries 
Kids Toys (ages 6 to 11)

Any questions can be directed to:
Samantha Palamaras (443) 205-2938
Trevor Waldspurger (443) 521-3179 twaldspurger@my.devry.edu

Donations can be made at: http://www.gofundme.com/io83k

I moved.

Everyone knows! It is public knowledge if you live at the northern end of the county!

How do you know this?

It seems another thief from the North Dorchester break-ins was in court today.  SHE received 15 years, with 13 years and 6 months suspended--at least she will spend some time in jail

Thank you.

I heard they were turnin it into a strip club.  I sure do hope so.  Our young ladies need a good employer.

Looks like it's Bowe's birthday today.

Why torture yourself....go to www.ricksyakshack.com and use a site with the software you are aready used to.

Someone posted on the old site that Royal Farms was closed because they were redoing the inside and would open today. Thank you countrygal for the update!!

It didn't to me either until I surrendered my life to Christ and studied the Word of God.

Don't sound logical to me.

One way (among a few) that we can be sure, is because the prophecies of the Holy Bible come to pass. Take for example the re-establishment of Israel. I cannot think of any nation that was dispersed and "removed off the map" like Israel was in 70AD, and then reconstituted almost 2000 years later(1948). Not only that, if you have a moment, check Joel 3:1-2, written by the Holy Spirit some 500 years before Christ. Note that all nations will be gathered against Israel in the "valley of Jehoshaphat." That could not have happened literally before 1948. In 1948, not only was Israel reconstituted, but the UN was formed.

How can anyone be 100% sure?

I went by and it is roped off ......... anyone know why?

What do you mean, "Yep what?" I replied that JR is sure of God's Word, and he answered "yep" to that. 

Yep what? How can you be 100% sure of anything?

Yep!

I haven't heard one thing about any of this.

JR is probably sure of God's Word. 

Pretty sure of yourself there Jr?

I believe in GOD and Jesus...If you don't like it you can go to Hell...Which you will anyway.

It is good to see that arrests are being made. Break-ins and wire thefts for drugs have been an ongoing problem in the North Dorchester area. 

The bottom of what?

Nope.

Is there any hope for this site?

Not sure which agency is behind the arrests. It is good to see that someone is getting to the bottom of all of this. 

I don't see where phillips has done anything?

I am so glad to see that the wire thieves and drug addicts in the North Dorchester area are being rounded up and arrested! Good job Sheriff Phillips! It is nice to see the girls involved are being arrested too!  This has been going on for too long! 

have you seen little green men?

Pete this is a useless excuse for a forum

following this new format is about as easy as getting a #5 Value Mealm at the drive thru at the Cambridge McDonalds right now,

Present

  It seems to me that the site would take an opinon poll before

 changeing it's format......

some got a ticket?

Can I join?

It is the same software as the old newszap. All the features will be the same as well as a similar layout.

http://www.ricksyakshack.com/

I wanted to copy this from the old Newszap before that forum shuts down. Newszap member madam x posted the following on Feb. 7:

BANNER NEWS: Cambridge PD just released this statement about the city's speed cameras: On Feb. 7, the Cambridge Police Department wants to advise the general public that the speed monitoring camera systems have been moved to the following locations:
1. Route 16 near Cambridge-South Dorchester High School. The school zone speed limit is 40 mph. The system will issue violations at 52mph.
2. Race Street near Open Bible School. The school zone speed limit is 35 mph. The system will issue violations at 47 mph. 
The Cambridge Police Department is asking all drivers in those areas to drive below the posted school zone speed limit for the safety of the children who are attending those schools.

A local contractor bought it and has spent a lot of time and money making things right structurally and has no plans of doing anything else with it at this time.

What is the big deal with Liberals and their fasanation with  anything anti bible,church God.Heres to the anti Christ wingnuts you have one in the White House be happy and if you do not like the bible "DON'T" read it if you do not like church "DON'T" attend it and just leave the rest of us alone.

I'm here finely.

here. terrible format

This is going to lead to a slight problem when an interesting coversation gets rolling. I wonder why the owners think they have to have this format. Why not keep the old Zap?

Okay, instead of clicking on the left side where the topic is, I clicked on the smaller one on the right and it brought me down to the latest post.

Usually the trick that works is go to the main page of Cambridge - Dorchester, and click on the link ot the thread you are interest in in the column that says "latest post" or "last post." I'd give you a screenshot but this forum will not allow uploads.

God bless,

PPM

Hate having to scroll down through all the past posts to get to the more recent ones.

OK, found a site that permits hotlinking, but it will block any site if it goes too far. The following image is courtesy Freeimagelive.com (select option on left to insert image and place image URL therein:

Can't review posts before posting nor can we edit them after we post. Yak, we can post pictures, but we have to "hot link them," drawing from someone's server. Imo, that is not fair unless the owner of the server does not mind. This is going to lead to a lot of abuse. Some have hot linked on the other forum. Unless the owner of the server / web page does not mind, it should not be done. I'd give an example of hot linking by selecting a pic from Newszap itself but I do not wish to get into trouble.

No private messaging. No spell check. No quotes. Not showing whose online. Can't fine how to post pictures. Anyone have anything else?

Local vets group won't let POW be forgotten

Trying to embed the more sure way .. THE STORY.

This is another time consuming problem with this forum format: we can't review our posts before posting them.

God bless,

PPM

 I'm here...but I like the old Newszap much better!!!!!

I doubt it. I wonder if the owners looked into the possibility of getting software from Open Source. If they have it, it might be far better than this. We can't edit, upload pics, private message and half dozen other things.

God bless,

PPM

Pete, there isn't much hope for this fallacy to survive

Is the old Newszap for sale?

Greetings Petey01. This is what works for me sometimes on this, ugh, new format. When you go to the Cambridge-Dorchester page don't click on the far left column but click on the link found in the last post column.

Thought everything was hunkydorey with that until I posted in the Scanner thread. Something got out of snyc there.

God bless,

PPM

Spock old pal, I see you've taken the Enterprise through the cyber wormhole to this new, but not improved, site and I am one of the first select by you to start a conversation with. I am overwhelmed.

But, cybermatey, check ye my comments on here. I do not like this format at all.

Or were ye referring to my personal web site where I have a list of video sermons and one of these days God willing I  will open up a cyber sanctuary?

God bless,

PPM

Would be nice if they had a "sort by" button so you could go to the newest post. Not user friendly at all.

Can we please stop the mind control and just accept the fact the old newszap is better

Lush here

I want the old one back too!!!

I needed to re-register... don't like this new set-up!!!

Well, after posting on the scanner thread and seeing the post was out of sync, then trying to duplicate the same on this thread and not seeing it happen here, I am confused.

Can anyone figure out why my this morning's post on the scanner thread on this new format is out of sync?

Ok, the page flipped making it hard to follow. Going to post a sequence of replies starting with ALPHA.

Checking where this will go.

Ok, what I am doing now is trying to learn how to post in sequence on this new format. I've just posted in scanner alerts and it came up in a place before a previous post. Will experiment. but doing something eles now.

So doesn't yours in Maryland. Click on the home tab on the top banner , the blog link is found on the home page.

The new Newszap in Delaware has both a forms section and a blog section, why don't Maryland? (Anyone know where spell check is here?)

any forum that posts the latest last is worthless.. It should always be at the top of the list...

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! here!!!  matey now go walk the plank.

Last time they mailed it to me but I forget who I called?

You can go down to the election board, County office Bldg, to get an absentee ballot. There is also early voting if you want to avoid the crowds.

Spock made it with much trial and tribulation.. This format is not for me

I'm here did you miss me?

Thanks Pete...

No Pete, it says "latest." Wish we had an "edit" option.

Glad for all those who have made it so far. Cry not Yak. They are slowly marching in. Click on members, then click "newest" (I think that's what it says) to see new entries.

I'm here

Where's everybody at?

Thanks Pete...

I'm finally here... don't know if I will like it

Just bumping.

Hi

Glad you made it. No Private Messaging here though. You might want to get an account at http://www.ricksyakshack.com/ or / and http://news-chat.proboards.com/

God bless,

PPM

here

I think it might mean that if you click on "tree" you can see replies to a specific post of the thread instead of seeing that reply a few steps down if there were other posts in between.

For example:

Post 1 Harry makes a statement

Post 2 George posts

Post 3 Bill posts

Post 4 Mark posts

Then let's say perchance Harry comes back, reads the thread, and wants to ask Bill a direct question and hits reply under Post 3 and then posts his question to Bill.

I'm thinking that under flat that Harry's question would show up at the bottom of the thread. Under "tree" it will show up right under post 3.

I have not tested it yet, but if you look at some of the threads now you might see that one post seems to be out of time with the rest. We might be looking then under "tree."

Hope that helps and is not  confusing. I will check that out when I have a little more time. Trying to get another sermon outline.

God bless,

PPM

If you have a favorite thread, bookmark it. Yes, we can subscribe to threads, but a thread you are interested might be dormant for a while and no one is posting on it but you want to.

God bless,

PPM

This new forum does the reverse of the old Zap board in that the initial post will always be displayed first. To read the latest post of any thread, go to the main page, and click the link in the column titled "last post."

While I am having difficulty adjusting to fact if we click in the main column of a given thread we see the initial post, but have to click on the link in the "last post" column to see the latest post, this might turn out to be a benefit to all. That way anyone can immediately know what any thread is about by clicking on the main title, then later go to the latest post.

God bless,

PPM

TIP FOR READING THIS THREAD AS IT GROWS = IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE LATEST POST GO TO THE MAIN PAGE, GO TO THIS TOPIC, AND CLICK ON THE LATEST POST IN THE LATEST POST COLUMN.

God bless,

PPM

What does tree and flat mean on the right side of the screen?

I am testing a post as well.

Had a difficult time getting here but here I am and like Art NOT liking it.

I'm here!!  I like the other one better!!

Amen Pete, By the stripes of Jesus you are the healed!!!

I'm here no one cares

I'm here and I agree with Art, Yak, etc.

God bless,

PPM

Arts here. But not liking it much.

Thanks Pete. I agree with Yak

Here.

4art v- Art, I seriously doubt they will be transferred, if you mean the ones from the previous site. Seems like we'll have to start all over. That's why a new scanner thread, one for Bowe Bergdahl, etc. here. btw, for that scanner thread, the pages on threads here are too short so what I am thinking of doing is a new scanner thread will start at the beginning of each month and labeled something like "Scanner Alerts for 4/2012"

God bless,

PPM

what happen to the past threads?

One reason I'd rather trust God.

Using big font so I can see what on earth I am typing .

 Hello! Testing 1....2....3...

http://md.newszapforums.com/forum11/

Were these stored in your private messages? I can still access mine. 

How can I get back to the old site?

andother was the link to firehouses.

I lost the links to the online scanner for one thing.

What info can't you get? I can still access mine. Do wish we had an edit button. 

What did you have saved and what can't you recover. I still have access to my stuff.

God bless†,

I lost all my "saved" information on the old newszap site. Not too happy about this.

Nope.

I sure can't figure out how too?

Yep! Nice big avatar. I do like how we can easily change the font. Now I can read what I type!

Hi Pete

Petition for the release of Berghdahl grows.

I see them now too. Must have fixed them last night or early this morning.  Just had to test the smilies now.

Now let me test a the anchor. Here is the ten-day forecast for Cambridge.

That was easy enough. On my next post I will see about images. I wonder if there is a file size limit.

God bless,

PPM

I see the reply button on the Maryland site using Chrome 17.0

I saw reply buttons on the Delaware side so will try this again. 

On this test I tried to select the "close" button when done. Perhap's it is really "post" and not "close." On the two other threads there is no place to reply. I selected close and it wiped it out. I see no button to simply post. Just "post and close."

Other obersvations:

The board font is real small. The title for the button "New Post" is outside the button boundries and hard to see. 

No direct link back to the Cambridge forum. Have to through the "forum" link.

Can't type in tags.

God bless,

PPM

Ok. making the font bigger. Looks like I accidently closed the scanner thread. The only submit buttons I saw were "post and close," and "close." That is all I see now. I can't reply on the scanner thread, and I will select post and close on this one to see if the same thing happens.

I think they have just cleared the Muir Street incident.
