a special session has been included in this year’s conference schedule to allow
attendees to better understand the legislative process and how to improve
interaction with members of their legislative delegation when advocating on
behalf of their municipality and the League in general.
As a follow up to the Large City and Small Town Forums held
at the 2011 annual convention in Ocean City, time has been set aside in the
conference schedule to allow elected and appointed officials from Maryland’s
municipalities to meet and discuss issues pertinent to both large and small
cities and towns

Haunted Eastern Shore: Ghostly Tales Shoal Creek Manor- Cambridge, Dorchester County - by Mindie Burgoyne
Haunted Eastern Shore: Ghostly Tales Shoal Creek Manor- Cambridge, Dorchester County - by Mindie Burgoyne
http://www.writingthevision.com/hauntedeasternshore/shoalcreekmanor.htm
Today, there is nothing left of Shoal Creek Manor, the home or John Woolford and Gov. Charles Goldsborough. This plantation house was built around 1750 and once stood on nearly 400 acres in East Cambridge. Originally it was part of the Choptank Indian lands, and was purchased from the Indians by the Ennalls family. Many tales are associated with Shoal Creek Manor – tales that are still told today even though the building was razed in 1970 to make way for a new waste-water treatment plant.
The folklore collection at the Nabb Center in Salisbury University had the following transcripts of tales told by locals about Shoal Creek Manor.

Public Information Act Do you know what kind of information should be released to the public upon request? You can avoid many difficulties by knowing the answer. This session will help front-line "gatekeepers" who most often deal with the public, by educating them about the state law governing the handling of public records. The session will include small round table discussions using real-life scenarios to further illustrate appropriate responses to requests from the public or the press.

HuffPost Healthy Living: 7 Health Benefits Of Coffee
Oh, coffee. The a.m. savior, dispenser of energy and the reason why many of us are able to get through the first parts of our days without looking like zombies.
But studies show that we may be benefitting from more than just the energy-boosting caffeine in coffee -- we might also be reaping its cancer-preventing and depression-lowering effects, just to name a couple.
Of course, as with all good things, moderation is key -- excessive coffee consumption is associated with cardiovascular problems, including an increased heart rate or blood pressure and irregular heartbeats, Harvard Health Publications reports. And all that caffeine can become addictive. Experts tend to agree that the good largely outweighs the bad for most people, but remember to consume in moderation (and skip calorie-heavy add-ins like sugar and cream).
Read on to see what recent science says about the possible health benefits of a cuppa.
