If You're Still Awake

Take a walk outside and take a look at the moon. There's another huge circle around it once again so we just might see some snow after all? It worked the last time and it's a pretty cool sight to see with a full moon.

For Immediate Release

John S. Harris, 63, a long time resident of the Salisbury area announces his candidacy for City Council. As a businessman, he feels the City should be run like a business. He feels the Mayor and Council should be accountable to the stockholders of the City-the taxpayers. He believes in clear, open and honest government.

GOALS:

1. CRIME- Take back the streets of Salisbury by increasing the funding for the Police Department for whatever is necessary to do the job. If management is not up to the task, then find someone else who is.

2. BLIGHT- Attack blight wherever and whoever is feeding it in out City. Crime breeds blight. Blight breeds crime. Correct these and we can have affordable housing where our people will not be afraid to reside. Safer neighborhoods, affordable housing and lack of blight will help remove Salisbury from the list of 20 most dangerous cities.

3. JOBS- Create a business-friendly city for both small and large companies so that the young and old can become employed.

Mr. Harris is not a single issue candidate. He looks at the issues that effect the whole community, not single issues that effect a selected population. He also believes in the people of his community and is dedicated to listening to their views, concerns and ideas so that we can all make Salisbury a city it deserves to be.

Mayor Tilghman Plays DeFense

Although Barrie Tilghman sent out an e-mail assuring everyone that the security fence is being taken care of around the Old Mall, she's lied once again. Days have gone by after her reassurances and the fence still lies on the ground, unsecured.

It should also be noted that people are still driving all over the parking lot there, even though they've barricaded off the entrances, hence the photo just above.

Lost

Two guys, one old and one young, are pushing their carts around Home Depot when they collide.

The old guy says to the young guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.

"The young guy says, "That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate."

The old guy says, "Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?"

The young guy says, "Well, she is 24 yrs old, tall, with blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she's wearing tight white shorts, a halter top and no bra.

What does your wife look like?"

The old guy says, "Doesn't matter --- let's look for yours."

Salisbury, PIMP MY RIDE!

VALOR



Sheriffs Deputy, Cris Taylor, has opened a unique Cop Shop behind the Giant off Rt. 13 in the Goliath Shopping Center. The selection of items are very unique and extremely durable and long lasting. If you're a Cop, GO THERE! If you're not, go there anyway. Besides the fact that Cris is a great guy, give a local guy a chance. In the very least, shake his hand and thank him and his brothers for all they do for our communities.

Stop Grafiti At The Pumps




Between graffiti and self advertising for a business, this poor gas station is getting it coming and going. It doesn't look as if they're at all interested in cleaning it up either. Some of these stickers have been here quite a while and the City hasn't given them a 14 day order to have it removed?

Jimmy's Grill Just Won't Quit!

Day after day, this place just doesn't get it. Nor does the supposed Health Department in Wicomico County. You know what, that does it for me. I'm simply going to STOP eating out at restaurants in Salisbury any more because this was all I needed to see to know there's no protection towards your health out here any more.

The Truth About The Daily Times Relocating

Delmarva Dealings and Integrity Maters are both telling stories that The Daily Times may be moving. This story simply is not true. Although The Daily Times is researching/hoping to purchase a new Press, (which has failed them numerous times in the past) they would consider housing that new Press in another location, yet keep all their offices exactly where it is located now. They feel they could add far more office space in the building they're currently in if the Press was relocated but they have no plans on moving anywhere. I just wanted to set the record straight.
