The story behind the Sacramento Rte 50 Ocean City signs

Two Coasts, Two Cities, Two Signs: The Story Behind The ‘Ocean City MD 3073’ Sign - Melody Stone, Friday, May 6, 2016 | Sacramento, CA http://www.capradio.org/72367
Motorists traveling on 50 East in Sacramento may be familiar
with this perfectly normal-looking mileage sign — on first glance, it’s like
every other mileage sign along California highways listing the cities you’ll be
passing with the number of miles to go.
But on second glance, this sign gives pause — Placerville is
about an hour away, and South Lake Tahoe double that, depending on traffic. But
why does far-off Ocean City, Maryland merit a mention?
The simple fact is that US 50 paves 3,000-plus miles from
Ocean City, Maryland to Sacramento, California, but there’s more to the story.
In the 1980s John R. Cropper, Jr. worked as the head of
statewide highway maintenance for Caltrans. Cropper, now 92, was the man who
instigated the sign listing Ocean City, MD as 3073 down the road.

CEDAR KEY, Fla. (AP) — A search continues for a Maryland man
whose boat capsized in the Gulf of Mexico off Cedar Key, Florida.
The Gainesville Sun (http://bit.ly/1sO0nAX)
reports that Gilbert Valdes was on a 23-foot boat with his brother and another
man when they capsized in a fast-approaching storm on Friday. All three were
wearing life jackets.
On Saturday, U.S. Coast Guard crews found 50-year-old
Garrick Valdes of Locust Grove, Virginia, and Bruce Smith of Alachua, Florida.
They had managed to remain with the boat, but Gilbert Valdes could not.
The Coast Guard handed leadership of the search to the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which is keeping up the
search with help from the Levy County Sheriff's Office.

Jon Kelvey Carroll County Times: Nonprofit Center celebrates 10 years of incubating social good
Jon Kelvey Carroll County Times: Nonprofit Center celebrates
10 years of incubating social good http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-nonprofit-center-20160519-story.html
Incubators may be en vogue in the entrepreneurial tech world
of Silicon Valley today, but when it comes to incubating nonprofits and
building social capital, Westminster has been a leader since 2006, the year the
Carroll County Nonprofit Center was born.
On Wednesday afternoon, more than 100 people filled a large
conference room at the center's Clifton Boulevard location to celebrate a
decade of its providing low cost, no rent homes for nonprofit organizations
focused on helping the people of Carroll County.
"We've taken a lot of nonprofits from basements of
churches, shopping centers, out of their homes," said Nonprofit Center
Director Mark Krider in an interview. "This gives them stability, it gives
them an address, it gives them a place to volunteer. People don't want to
volunteer in somebody's home, or a basement of a church."
Standing at the podium Wednesday, Krider ran down some of
the impressive statistics associated with 10 years of giving nonprofits a home:
more than 55,000 families helped by agencies housed in the center; more than
148,251 volunteer hours served, a $3.9 million value; and 34 different agencies
housed at one time or another. Current tenants include Habitat for Humanity;
the Marriage and Relationship Education Center; and Head Start/Catholic
Charities, which, Krider noted, has enrolled almost 2,000 children since
becoming one of the first tenants in 2006.

The Carroll County Health Department is alerting area citizens about a cat that recently tested positive for #rabies.
by Jon Kelvey for the Carroll County Times
The Carroll County Health Department is alerting area citizens
about a cat that recently tested positive for rabies.
Mon. May 23, 2016 - Notice: The Carroll County Health Department is
alerting area citizens about a cat that recently tested positive for rabies.
It was an older gray domestic short-hair kitten (approximately 9
months old) that may have roamed on and around the area of West Main Street
that runs behind the Safeway, on the other side of Route 31 in Westminster
(near Baugher’s Restaurant.)
Rabies is spread through saliva of an infected animal, usually by
bite, but also through a scratch or open wound.
If you think you may have had contact with the cat in the ways
described above, please contact the Health Department at (410) 876-4771, (410) 876-4936,
or (410) 876-4882.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For more information about rabies, go to the section on
rabies on the Carroll County Health Department’s website here: http://www.carrollhealthdepartment.dhmh.md.gov/envirohealth/rabiesprevent.html
The Bureau of
Environmental Health is charged with minimizing the effects of rabies on
Carroll County's citizens. This is accomplished in cooperation with the
Department's Nursing Bureau, local law enforcement, the County Humane Society,
and other State and local agencies. The Bureau is responsible for investigation
of animal bites, managing quarantines, conducting vaccination clinics for dogs,
cats and ferrets, and determining when animals must be euthanized and /or
submitted for laboratory testing.
Rabies Facts
Rabies is a deadly
disease caused by a virus. It kills almost any mammal or human that gets sick
from it.
The rabies virus lives
in the saliva of rabid animals. It can be transmitted through a bite or scratch
or by a lick in a wound or in the eye or mouth.
Only mammals get
rabies. Birds, insects, fish, turtles, reptiles, and amphibians do not. Skunks,
bats, foxes, raccoons, dogs, cats, ferrets, and some farm animals are most
likely to get rabies. Rabbits, opossums, squirrels, rats, and mice seldom get
it.
Rabies can be
prevented in cats, dogs, ferrets, horses, cows, sheep, and goats with a rabies
vaccination. There is no accepted rabies vaccination for wild animals.
Those most likely to be
exposed are cats and dogs kept outside and allowed to roam; farm animals;
humans who trap, hike, and camp.
What You Can Do To Prevent and Control Rabies
Cats, dogs, ferrets,
and selected livestock need up-to-date rabies vaccination. Puppies and kittens
vaccinated between the ages of 3-12 months, and dogs and cats receiving their
first vaccination, must be revaccinated 12 months later. Re-vaccination should
be every 1 to 3 years, depending on the type of vaccine used. It will not harm
your pet to have it vaccinated every year if you wish.
The Bureau of Environmental
Health offers at-cost anti-rabies vaccination clinics for animals each
year. Contact our office for dates and
times.
If your vaccinated pet
is attacked or bitten by a rabid animal, be sure to have it revaccinated with a
booster. If your pet is not vaccinated, it may have to be destroyed or kept in
strict isolation for six months.
Pets should be kept in
the home or yard and, if off your property, walked on a leash. Pets running at
large are more likely to be exposed to rabies.
Enjoy wild animals
from a distance. Wild animals should not be kept as pets. They are a potential
rabies threat to their owners and others. Even a baby skunk or raccoon, born in
captivity, can be a rabies carrier.
Avoid strange animals
even if they appear friendly. Do not try to coax wild animals to eat from your
hand. Never approach or touch wild animals or pets you do not own.
Children should be
told to immediately report any bite, scratch, or contact with a strange or wild
animal.
Make your house and
yard unattractive to wild animals. Feed pets inside the house. Keep garbage in
tightly closed trash cans and do not set trash out the night before it is to be
collected. Cap chimneys. Seal off any openings in the attic, under porches, and
in basements and outbuildings.
Some Common Questions About Rabies
How can people get rabies?
Since rabies lives in
rabid animals' saliva, a bite is the most common way it is transmitted.
Scratches which have allowed saliva into the body or saliva that has gotten
into open wounds, eyes, nose, or mouth can also be a problem. Just petting or
touching a rabid animal or pet which has had contact with a rabid animal, or
being in an area where rabid animals have been does not result in a rabies
exposure.
What should I do if I think my dog, cat, ferret, or farm animal has
rabies?
Consult a veterinarian
and report to the local law enforcement agency if any person has been bitten or
exposed to the suspect animal. Be sure to keep the animal confined until it can
be examined by a veterinarian. Try not to expose yourself or other people to
the animal.
What should I do if I see a stray or wild animal that I think may have
rabies?
Do not feed or handle
it. Keep your own animals from coming in contact with it. Capture the animal,
if possible, without risking exposure. For example, if the raccoon is in a
garage, close all doors and windows. Then call your local animal control agency
for further instructions.
What should I do if I find a dead animal on my property?
If there has been
human or animal exposure, contact your local health department for
instructions. If there has been no human or animal exposure, the animal may be
buried. If it is necessary to touch the animal, gloves should be worn. An easy
way to handle the animal is to stick your hand into a garbage bag, grab the
animal by a leg through the garbage bag, then pull the bag over the animal, and
tie it shut. Then, bury the animal, preferably three feet deep, or dispose of
it through the local animal control agency. Do not throw it out along a road,
or in a wooded area or field.
What should I do if my dog, cat, ferret, or farm animal has been
exposed to a wild animal that I think may have rabies?
Do not handle, pet, touch,
or examine your animal for at least 2 hours. The wild animal should be captured
or killed, being careful not to damage the head, and submitted for rabies
testing through the local health department. In doing this, you should be
careful not to get bitten or exposed to the wild animal. Assistance may be
available through your local animal control agency.
What will be done with
the animal that bit (or exposed) me to find out if it has rabies?
If it is a dog, cat,
ferret, or farm animal, it will be quarantined for 10 days, to find out if it
had rabies at the time it bit you. If it is a wild animal, it will probably
have to be destroyed and the head submitted for testing to the laboratory.
Should I get
vaccinated against rabies?
Generally speaking no.
The pre-exposure vaccination is only recommended for certain high-risk groups.
These are people who regularly handle animals and, therefore, may be at high
risk of exposure to rabies. High-risk groups include veterinarians, animal
control workers, trappers and raccoon hunters.
What You Need To Do If A Bite Occurs
Try to capture the
animal or, if the animal is wild, try to kill it. Try not to damage the
animal's head.
Immediately wash the
wound with plenty of soap and water, scrubbing the bitten area gently. Dry the
wound.
If the animal is a pet
dog or cat, obtain the pet owner's name, address, and telephone number. Find
out if the animal has a current rabies shot (immunization) and write down the
rabies tag number.
Get prompt medical
attention, if necessary. Go to your family doctor or nearest emergency room.
Report the incident to
the police. If your pet dog or cat is involved in a fight with a wild animal:
Do not handle your pet
for two hours after the fight. This will give any infected saliva time to dry,
killing the virus.
If your immunized pet
dog or cat has been bitten, they will need another rabies vaccination. The
animal will also have to be kept on a leash or caged for 45 days.
If your pet is not
currently vaccinated, it will have to be placed in strict isolation for six
months or humanely euthanized.
What You Need To Know About Rabies Treatment
Once the signs of
rabies appear, the disease almost always causes death. If caught in time, it
can be prevented. After a person is bitten by an animal proven to have rabies,
a doctor must be contacted immediately and anti-rabies treatment begun.
The treatment consists
of five doses of vaccine given over a one-month period, plus antiserum given at
the beginning. None of the injections are given in the stomach area. This
treatment has been very successful.
No one who has
received proper treatment has died from rabies.
Vaccination against
rabies before exposure is not recommended for the general public. Only those
individuals who are regularly at risk for rabies exposure should get this
vaccine (for example, veterinarians, and animal control workers).

firefighter community, and the American Red Cross has been very helpful with
many of their immediate needs.
Financial donations for the Hynes family are not being
accepted at the Westminster Fire Dept. Our partner, the Community Foundation of
Carroll County is handling that for the department - to free-up the department
to continue to respond to approximately 6,000 fire and EMS calls a year. .
Please do not drop off any donations at the Westminster Fire
Dept. as the department is unable to store or manage any food, furniture,
clothing, or housewares. The Hynes family is being helped with donations of food,
furniture, clothing, or housewares by other partners in the community.
For those who have asked to also make a donation to the
Westminster Volunteer Fire Department, visit our website at http://www.westminstervfd.org/ or
make a check payable to the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. #1 and mail it
to: 28 John Street, Westminster, MD 21157
On Friday evening, May 20, 2016 the home of the family of Hugh
and Carla Hynes was destroyed by a tragic accidental fire due to a mechanical
failure of their neighbor’s air conditioning unit.
According to the Maryland State Fire Marshall’s office, “Investigators
determined a mechanical failure lead to the A/C unit exploding, causing the
fire. Both the owner and the neighbor attempted to extinguish the fire with a
garden hose to no avail. The fire spread rapidly upwards into the roof of the
home causing extensive damage to the home and both adjoining units.”
Over 80 firefighters from Carroll and Baltimore Co, and the
Westminster Police Dept. responded with 20 pieces of equipment to a two–alarm
fire in the 200 block of Gallatin Court, north of Westminster off Cranberry Rd.
The first call came into the county emergency communications center at 9:39. A
second alarm was quickly sounded at 9:55.
Several family pets were saved by quick action by the
firefighters on the scene of a two – alarm fire late Friday night in
Westminster. The cats and dogs were attended to by emergency medical personnel,
including vet tech Tanya Andrews who assisted Manchester EMS personnel to
provide emergency oxygen to save the life of a family pet cat stricken by smoke
inhalation late Friday night
Three families were displaced and two townhouses were
destroyed in the blaze, but the fire did not spread farther thanks to the
prompt and well-coordinated response by firefighters. Fire was declared under
control at 1024 pm, but wrap-up and clean-up operations lasted until
approximately 3 am, Sat. morning
