Vandalism On Pennsylvania Ave In Salisbury




Now YOU look at the third photo and tell me if that's NOT attempted break-in and entering? The Salisbury Police want you to believe that's vandalism instead.

!!!!!MAJOR BREAKING NEWS AGAIN!!!!!

A Wicomico County Sheriff's Deputy has been arrested for Child Abuse and several Sexual Offenses on Minor Children.

The Officer was arrested today while attempting to pick up his own child at School. The Sheriff's Department wasted no time making sure there was an immediate separation of the two as soon as possible.

The Officer has been suspended without pay since it is a Federal Offense. ALL of his Police powers have been suspended as well.

At the Sheriff's request, he has asked the State Police to assist the C.A.C. (Child advocacy Center) in this investigation.

Vandalism On Virginia Ave & Pennsylvania Ave!

The vandalism wasn't just on Pennsylvania Ave. today. It also spread out to surrounding blocks including Virginia Ave. At least 12 vehicles had all their tires slashed on one block alone and one home had planters thrown through the windows. The Police refused to write that us as an attempted breaking and entering and instead called it vandalism. Want those numbers in certain categories down Chiefy? The Police admitted there were far more than the 12 vehicles vandalized on other surrounding streets.

Nevertheless, pictures will be coming soon. So to the Idiot who keeps sending in comments stating I am wrong, BITE ME! Must be The Daily Times because they never caught on to the story in the first place. LOL

Gilchrest To Host PAC Luncheon After Claiming To Not Take PAC Money

Gilchrest claims on his website that he does not accept PAC contributions, but now that he faces a serious primary challenge, he is soliciting them. This proves once again that Wayne has Changed!!!

See some of Wayne's Quotes and articles written about him not accepting PAC money below:

"I know special interest groups don't like me very much and are helping to fund my opponent's campaign. That's because I don't take PAC money and my vote can't be bought. I only accept contributions from people who can vote for me, and I wish every member of Congress subscribed to that." (Salisbury Daily Times, letter-to-the-editor, p. 6; 8/25/02)

The majority of invitations come from Political Action Committees. Gilchrest is one of about 10 congressmen who do not take money from these committees. (...) He also does not accept money from outside his d istrict, including from out-of-district relatives. "It's a huge commitment that is required if you want to accept PAC money," Gilchrest said. "It gives me a lot more time (to spend) on legislation." (Caroline County Times Record, pg. 5; 2/10/00)

(Democrat) Gies has very little money to try to defeat Gilchrest (...). The result is Gilchrest is in such a secure position he has been able to take a position virtually unheard of in modern politics. He is not taking any contributions from political action committees or from anybody who lives outside the 1st District. (Salisbury Daily Times, p. 4; 10/26/94)

Citing as his theme a "return to honesty and integrity in government service," Gilchrest expressed confidence that enough Democrats would cross over to elect him. (Star Democrat, pg. 1; 10/12/88)

Gilchrest said, however, he believes PAC contributions should be prohibited because they "unduly influence" politicians. (Salisbury Daily Times , p. 3; 10/17/88)

Gilchrest's Website: http://www.gilchrest.org/makeadonation.htm
The website is saved as an attachment to this email as well.

Wayne has Changed!

There is nothing wrong with candidates accepting PAC money from groups they agree with; however to tell the voters you won't accept them while quietly soliciting money from them is just plain wrong. The voters deserve better.

The Pocomoke/Fire Fighters Christmas Parade?








Wednesday night I was invited by the Pocomoke Tattler to visit him at his home and enjoy the Pocomoke Parade. It was such a pleasure to finally meet them in person and enjoying an evening of food and entertainment.

I've held off this Post because it has taken me a couple of days to go through all the pictures I took of just the Fire Departments alone in this Parade! Talk about your tax dollars hard at work! I'm telling you, there were Fire Departments from Virginia, Delaware and Maryland and the smell of diesel fuel was enough to choke King Kong!

Nevertheless, one after the other, Fire Trucks passed by, then a Marching Band every so often, interrupted by yet more LED Lights from Emergency Vehicles and then something cool would come along.

It started at 7:00 PM and went all the way to 9:30 PM. Don't they have something for these Fire Fighters to get their rocks off in Ocean City every year? I mean, this was unbelievable. Now look, I'm NOT against Fire Fighters and I know I'll get beat up over that one. However, COME ON NOW! This has got to be the biggest crock of shit I have ever seen in my entire lifetime!

2 1/2 hours of Fire Trucks, WHOOPIE! YAHOO! OH, MY NIPPLES ARE HARD! THIS IS SO EXCITING! OH LOOK MOM, THEY COME IN RED AND GREEN COLORS! If Pocomoke wants to sport THEIR Fire Trucks, I'm ALL for that. However, are you getting the idea it was too much? LOL

I'm so thankful the company was so great because I couldn't see didley for an hour after the Parade because of all those stupid led lights! Let me see if I have any normal pictures from this Parade besides Fire Trucks!

My sincere Thanks goes out to the Burke Family. Merry Christmas!

The Park On The West Side







Last night was an interesting evening of Politics & Concerned Citizens getting together for what would appear to be about the people.

However, it is my opinion after spending hours listening the almost everyone there speak, this is not the location I would recommend a Park be located. Allow me to explain why.

First of all, I trust Rick Pollitt. However, being that I have seen so much crap through the Mayor of Salisbury and the majority of the City Council, it's very easy for me to be skeptical.

When Rick started the meeting he mentioned there was a process. The County was not going to purchase this land if the Citizens didn't think it was the right place for such a Park. Rick also mentioned that IF they were to purchase the property, they would not develop the Park until ALL of the road infrastructure was complete first. Does anyone have a clue the millions upon millions of dollars it would cost just to upgrade those roads to accomodate such a facility?

What that says to me is, let's buy it just like all the other land we have purchased in the past and sit on it, (That may not be a bad idea either). Some properties are now being considered to dump sludge on because it wasn't the kind of land the County expected it to be in the end. Another piece of property, (Pirates Wharf) the County purchased has sat for 10 years now and Gary Mackeys stated 9 months out of the year the property is almost knee deep in water.

Now can someone please tell me how in the heck the County purchased such land in the first place? Secondly, how confident can the Taxpayers be if the County didn't research such property well enough to know it was wetlands most of the year?

Nevertheless, far too many people stood up against this Park and they had excellent reasons for why they didn't want it. One Citizen stated, we moved out here into the country because we wanted to get away from City life. We moved here to get away from the Parks and now you're shoving it down our throats? Another Citizen stated, we don't burden this area with a multitude of children for such a Park here.

Some Citizens complained a lot about the current road conditions and how there's no possible way the adults and or children could even ride biked down their roads. It sounded as if these people need help now, let alone when a Park would come to their area.

There were some who came stating they were in favor of such a Park. One of them, Anne Webster, President of the Hotel/Motel Assoc. strongly encouraged the economic impact from such attractions. Tom Fields lives right across the street from the proposed Park and stated he'd rather see a Park there than a housing development.

As for the appraisal, the County claims the two appraisals that did in fact come in were LOWER than what they had expected it to be. So the rumor of this costing $35,000.00 an acre could be far fetched. Then again, sometimes rumors get spread like this so when the REAL numbers come in, the Citizens think it's a bargain?

I personally like the Waller Landing idea better. Granted, it's a few miles from this location but like I said, it's a planned community in which people are going to know what they're getting into, rather than disturbing those people who moved to the country to enjoy the peace and quiet. I need to add, NO ONE has come forward with a piece of property for sale on the west side that would accommodate such a Park, period. That does make this an attractive piece of land but is it the right land for such a Park?

The County Council will have their hands full on this one. 4 out of the 7 County Council Members were there last night to hear every one's support and or concerns.

I'd like to add this final note. I moved to Bowie, Maryland in 1973. I watched that Town go from fields like we see around here now to an absolute Metropolis! People may complain about PG County and even Bowie but let me tell you something Bowie did some 35 years ago. Bowie had a Master Plan in which they created the most unbelievable Bike & Hikers Trail like you've NEVER seen before. The crap Comegys spews all the time about Bike Trails/Routes throughout Salisbury is NOT what it's supposed to be.

Bowie create trails around the entire City and through the entire City. I'm talking, (and I'm guessing) 10 miles of bike trails? It was NOT done on the side of roads already in existence. These were strictly for bikes, hikers, joggers, walkers, skateboarders, roller bladers and so forth and so on. It is a black top trail that just goes on and on throughout Bowie and now other Towns.

This is a model in which "I" personally believe should be considered from this point forward here on the Eastern Shore. Hebron would make a perfect start. Plan ALL communities whereas you can create a safe environment for everyone to enjoy. I know if this was available in Hebron, I'd bring my Grandson there regularly to enjoy a safe riding experience like Bowie has to offer.

Much of this could be funded by developers interested in building in Wicomico County. However, a Master Plan of a Trail like this must be looked at NOW, before things get too far out of control growth wise. If BOWIE could do it 35 years ago, Wicomico County could do it now before things do pop up too fast. I also believe property owners would be willing to donate small parts of their property to allow such trails to pass through. If you travel towards the Western Shore, even Kent Island and other surrounding Towns have trails right along Rt. 50. They're beautiful and some of the best entertainment around.

I'm sorry I went on so long about this but even though I come from the Western Shore, some times we COME HERE'S can enhance better living and yes, even cleaner living. More bikes create cleaner air and less use of fuel. Start working on a Master Plan for such, it can't hurt!

Keep in mind, this is just my oinion and I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say. That's what makes this Blog so cool. Agree with me or disagee with me, the end result is who wants what and perhaps the County can follow the comments made here to help them make a final decision.

Jenna Hermann & Sex Abuse Charges At Pittsville Elementary


Letter To The Editor:

Joe:

Please feel free to inquire about this information but my sources have shared this information with me regarding the incident at Pittsville this week.

The SU student involved is not considered a "teacher's assistant" as was shared in the paper, news, and on your blog. Yes, she did "assist" in the classroom but many people may be confused because the WCBOE employs many staff under the title "teacher's assistant". These staff members are full time benefitted employees who have met all of the legal qualifications set forth by the state and WCBOE. The two should not be confused.

The SU student is considered a "Block C" student as determined by the education dept. at SU. This means that she spends 1 full day per week in the school to observe a teacher and teaches a few lessons in preparation for student teaching the following semester. She has gone through Block A and Block B where they just observe teachers and begin to spend time in schools. This usually begins their first year in the education dept. Block C students are nearing their end of their degree and usually just have to student teach.

In times when the education systems across the US have unfortunate situations like this occur, this is one instance where the local school system could do little to prevent it. SU is accountable for its students but in this case, it is hard to prevent unless previous situations occurred at other schools. From what I have been told, background checks are not done for prospective teaching candidates at the university. Not sure of the legalities of this but maybe this should be done. This may or may not have prevented this unfortunate event.

As always, you provide a great service to the public and I am sure that this information will never be found in the "mainstream media". Please feel free to share.

Major Shooting At T's Market In Salisbury Last Night

No, there's nothing about this in The Daily Times, as usual. However, WMDT was there and covered it HERE.

I'm told one of the Clerks was shot in the chest and of course I get very little information from the SPD on this shooting.

Here's what I did get from the SPD Website. 11/29/2007 21:13 400 N Salisbury Bv Robbery: Firearm, Chain 200700040141 Under Invst

Horror & Vandalism On Pennsylvania Ave. In Salisbury!

If you live on Pennsylvania Ave. in the City of Salisbury, I feel for you! What you're NOT seeing anywhere else is the fact that almost every single vehicle along Pennsylvania Ave had their tires slashed. One owner has a convertible Porsche had his roof cut to bits as well. Trailer tires were slashed and items were even thrown through windows along this road.

I'm hoping to provide photos later today, we'll see what happens? Nevertheless, crime is just out of control in Salisbury Ladies & Gentlemen. I mean, think about it. Graffiti Artists vandalized buildings for MONTHS and no one was caught.

In Delmar, if my dogs don't get you, well................

Currently there are For Sale Signs on this property along Rt. 50 and Royal Farms just can't seem to get it right with Wicomico County. IT reminds me of the work being done at the Salisbury Zoo. You know, the Red Wolf Exhibit. Perhaps it's the same Contractor? Then of course there's the Oasis Car Wash next to Sam's Club. Yeah, if you want to do business in Wicomico County, you better grease some palms or the waiting time is obviously much longer than anyone would ever expect.

You can build a $10,000,000.00 Fire Department in just over a year. You can build a massive addition at PRMC in just over a year. But what would seem the size of their bathrooms and NOT a FOB, YEARS! It must be those local Contractors getting their way and outsiders being put on the back burner? I mean, seriously, can you actually argue my point here?

Please Read Carefully Before Signing!

Why Is This Developers Hand Out To The County Executive?



Because he's from Waller Landing in Hebron and they'd do ANYTHING to have this Park relocated to their development and sell out a strong portion of their land to the County. Homes are NOT selling and landing a deal with the County would be the BOMB!

So why aren't you seeing this in the Daily Times? Because, (as usual) they show up too late and leave way too early. Just like their article today where they say "JC Webster who received a round of applause for his level headed rant against the project." Can someone out there explain to me what a "Level Headed Rant" is? (RANT) To talk in a wild loud way. "Webster Dictionary." So how can you be level headed and wild in the same breath?

Now I was there well before the DT and well after and I can assure you Ladies & Gentlemen, there was NO ONE ranting at all. There were quite a few concerned citizens who have a serious stake in this Community/Park. No one raised their voice and everyone was very respectable. No hecklers, right Rick?

Getting back to the topic of this particular subject. The Developers of Waller landing Changed the time of their meeting so they could run over and meet with Rick Pollit to pitch their project and location.

Rick explained how that location was not in the West Side Metro Core but they're open to all sorts of ideas. What's funny about that statement is, one of the gentlemen speaking last night showed on the photo he lived directly across the street from the proposed Park and his address is HEBRON!

I say, if the Park looks like it belongs in Waller Landing, consider it and create a very well planned out community with amenities, (like a Park) up front and everyone will know what they got into before Farmers and people who chose to live in the country wanted all along.

I'll get into that a bit more in another Post but you get the idea of where I'm going.
