Coming To Every School Near You!

I received word yesterday the the Sheriffs Department has now hired a Police Officer for Bennett High, Wicomico High, Parkside High, Mardela High, Bennett Middle, Wicomico Middle, Salisbury Middle and Alternative School.

That equals 8 schools with deputies. The 9th deputy will be a Sergeant that will supervise/fill in when absent. The Board of Ed will be paying all expenses (salary, benefits, etc.) for the school year and the county will pay the expenses during the summer when school's out.

The games are over and Wicomico County is taking the multiple threats of bombs and other illegal activity very seriously and will do what it takes to make our children safe.

As wonderful as an education can be, some students don't take it as serious as others and can disturb an entire School and it's about time these bullies were stopped. Just more proof that the Sheriffs Department needs to be recognized and thanked. Have you waved to an Officer today? I did.

UPDATE: We have had deputies in the schools for some time now, but would constantly have to take them out depending on court security issues, road patrol shift shortages, vacation, transports, etc. We started out with 6 last year and it would sometimes dwindle down to three. In order for the board of ed to be guaranteed a permanent deputy in the school, we entered into a "contract" where they have agreed to pay the expenses I mentioned before and the county would cover the expenses in the summer The grant for the Wicomico Middle school deputy has been in place for a period of time.

43,000 Gallons Of Sewage Leaks Into The Wicomico River This Morning

Barrie Tilghman claimed that a coupling broke at 1:00 am this morning allowing 43,000 gallons of sewage to leak out into the street and ultimately into the river.

Now I don't know about you folks but I used to have a pool in my back yard in Davidsonville, MD. that was 84,000 gallons of water so I personally find their volume "highly suspicious!" It's my understanding they closed off roads and one road was actually flooded by the volume of water/sewage. My guess would be a much higher volume of water actually spilled but you know how it works, they pay fines based on the gallons that were spilled and usually the MDE buys their BS.

Maybe this time Dave Pushkar will open his eyes and see a bit more clearly as to how much sewage actually spilled and not trust the figures offered by John Jacobs? Mr. Pushkar has confirmed with me directly that this was in fact reported to his office earlier today.

Oh, make sure you don't drink any water out of the Wicomico River for a little while and there'll be no fishing or swimming there till September 7th as well. Water-skiing and other activities down river seem to be ok because the spill will only be located in one small area that John Jacobs wants quarantined. I wonder where the fish and wildlife will be housed in the mean time?

The photo above is not the actual location of the spill.

Please Don't Forget These Animals

The Humane Society still needs your help. As we expect the Daily Times news print to become a part of the past, save your papers and deliver them to the Humane Society.

While you're there, take a look at these unbelievable animals in need of homes and or financial support.

Also, if you've lost a pet, please contact them first and see if it isn't there waiting for you. Believe it or not this happens all too often and your pet could eventually be adopted out to another family.

Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind? NOT!

I took this photo back on 2-6-06 just across the street from the Salisbury Police Department. To this day I do not believe anything has been done about this mess. So I ask you Barrie Tilghman and the City Council, IF this home were located right next to yours, would it still be standing?

I guess if you live on the West side of the City you're not worth of the same kind of respect as everywhere else? I would also guess your tax dollars on the West side of the City are nowhere near as valuable as the wealthier parts of Town!

Shanie, time to get into gear and start representing what you were hired to do. If you need any help, I've got lots more pictures to post!

County VS. City

The first photo shows you how the County paves a road, (Jersey Road out by Delmar, believe it or not). The other three photos are how the City allows their roads to be paved, patched and screwed up!

It's well known that the City hasn't paved a road in more than 2 years. The Mayor has blown so much money on oh, (let's say legal bills alone) that the City is now allowing developers to fix the roads after they've hooked up with the City water and sewer system. The end result, crap! This would be unacceptable anywhere else but here in Salisbury if you're a FOB you get whatever you want and as the voters have proven they don't give a damn by not making it to the polls, you get what you deserve.
