We'll See Your Violation And Up Yours!

The Town of Milton, DE. seems to be in the hot seat now with WWTP Violations of their own. Although the City of Salisbury is dealing with their own denial, Milton is now looking at a $10,000.00 a day in violations if they don't get theirs fixed right away.

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is claiming the WWTP is not filtering their water properly and discharging it into the Broadkill River. Sound familiar? Although the Town is cooperating so far, time will tell if they are fined or not? They too are planning on building a new WWTP in a year or so but maybe they could take lessons from the City of Salisbury?

The photo above is the illegal sludge pit at the Salisbury WWTP that is still in litigation with the MDE. The MDE has been asking the City to put in test wells for almost a year now to see if the liner that has been in place for more than 18 years and only guaranteed for less than one year is in fact leaking? The City refuses to respond to the MDE's request and are fighting them all the way.

Dave Pushkar, (from the MDE) stated to me personally that he felt it was highly suspicious that they refuse to respond and feels there's a very good chance the liner is in fact leaking.

Are 640,000 Readers Being Mislead?

The Daily Times front page article tells a story of the Men's Journal writing an article about the Eastern Shore and the beauty of what we have to offer.

Jim Rapp, (Director of the Salisbury Zoo) is seen here paddling through the river near the pipes in which were illegally discharging raw sewage and chemicals directly into the Wicomico River, which he knowingly allowed but denies, as well as Ron Alessi, (President of the Zoo Commission).

While 640,000 people read this particular article this month, what will happen when they arrive and find signs posted all over the Wicomico River telling them it's not safe at all to be in these waters?

Yes, the Eastern Shore USED to be a wonderful place for recreation but these people, (including Barrie Tilghman & Co.) have completely destroyed such an experience and should "ALL" be ashamed of themselves!

The Last Place Anyone Would Want To Work!

If you like discrimination against woman, go to work here!

One employee who worked for the Bank of Willards who is 8 months pregnant was recently fired for an incident that happened 8 months earlier that she didn't even get written up for and the problem, (human error) was immediately corrected. In order to get rid of her they used this as an excuse to let her go. No more health insurance, nothing! What a nice place to work!

Another woman was interviewing for a job there and she already had children and they asked, are you going to have any more children? Why? Because if you are, we're not going to hire you.

I was also told about a woman who has Lymes Disease as well as her child. They have to travel all the way to PA. to get treatments and she was recently told she may no longer use sick days to take off work, she must use her vacation time instead or she'll be terminated.

The entire Staff, (females) were recently told that if their child got sick at School after 9:00 a.m., they were NOT allowed to leave and get them. It would be up to their husbands to do so or they'd lose their jobs. Not only does the Bank of Willards pay their people next to nothing, they suck as an employer and one can only hope the group of them get together and create a Class Action Lawsuit against these people for discrimination.

It seems that since the President of the Bank is a former Attorney, everyone is scared to death of this guy. I say, sue the crap out of him and make him eat his own words!

If any of you would like to switch Banks, call Chris Hatton at the Bank of America just down the street. 410-749-2205. He's a great Investment Broker and he'd be honored to set you up with the right person to fill your needs. Why do I get the feeling a lot of women are going to switch Banks right away?

I Ain't Elderly Efffer! I Just Fffffergot My Teeffff!

SHA Works Overtime?

The State Highway Administration was working overtime yesterday as they had received a truckload of trees, (shown above) being installed where the Bypass meets Rt. 50. Is this a good time to plant trees?
