Did The Gilchrest Campaign LIE About The Ron Paul Endorsement?
Recently the Gilchrest Campaign announced that former Presidential Candidate Ron Paul endorsed Wayne Gilchrest for Congress. However, rumor on the street is, it's a lie. Boy, if this is true, Wayne is in a lot of trouble. We'll see what comes of it.
Acident Last Night On Rt. 50
A Commenter Said.....
"FIRST OF ALL. WERE YOU THERE . IF SO YOU KNOW THE PATIENT THAT WAS POSSIBLY GOING TO BE FLOWN WAS HEAVILY TRAPPED. 32 MINUTES TO EXTRICATE THE PATIENT TO BE EXACT. IF YOU WOULD LOOK AT PICTURES OF SCENE AND THE VAN THE PATIENT WAS IN YOU WILL FIND OUT HOW MUCH WORK THE RESCUE CREWS HAD TO GET THE PATIENT OUT.THE 1 PATIENT THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY EJECTED . WAS NOT . I REPEAT NOT EJECTED. THAT PATIENT WAS OUT OF VEHICLE . ON THEIR OWN POWER. ALLBE IT TAKEN PRI 2 DUE TO MECHANISM TO PRMC. NOW BACK TO YOUR COMMENT ON WHY TROOPER 4 WAS REQUESTED. DUE TO THE PROLONGED RESCUE AND THE EXTEME POSSIBILITY OF THE PATIENT BEING TAKEN DIRECTLY TO SHOCK TRAUMA FROM THE SCENE. TROOPER 4 WAS ON GROUND WELL WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF BEING CALLED. THE FLIGHT MEDIC WAS ON SCENE TALKING TO THE PARAMEDIC AND ASSESSING THE EXTENT OF PATIENTS INJURIES. AFTER REMOVING THE PATIENT AND DOING A BETTER SURVEY OF INJURIES THE PARAMEDIC DTERMINED THAT WITH THE EXTENT OF INJURIES AND THE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS NEEDED TO STABILZE THE PATIENT ALONG WITH THE ROOM NEEDED FOR SUCH EQUIPMENT. ALONG WITH TALKING TO THE FLIGHT MEDIC AND HIM SAYING IT WOULD TAKE 10 MINUTES TO GET PATINET TO PRMC. THE PARAMEDIC DETERMINED TO TAKE PATIENT BY GROUND WITHIN 8 MINUTES AND HAVING MORE ROOM TO STABILIZE THE PATIENT ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL PROVIDERS THAT ARE ABLE TO RIDE THE AMBULANCE INSTEAD OF THE HELICOPTER , WHERE YOU ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED IN ROOM AND THE NUMBER OF PROVIDERS THAT CAN GO IN HELICOPTER.(2 MAX DUE TO SPACE AND WEIGHT RETRISTIONS), IT WAS DETERMINED TO TRANSPORT BY GROUND.END RESULT PATIENT ARRIVED AT PRMC ALIVE, STABLE AND IN GOOD HANDS OF THE TRAUMA TEAM AT PRMC . SO UNTIL YOU KNOW ALL FACTS BY BEING THERE FIRST HAND SAVE YOUR OPINIONS FOR YOURSELF AND SAVE ALL OF US THE DRAMA AND NEGATIVE STATEMENTS DIRECTED AT THE LOCAL VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER AND EMS THAT PROTECT YOU AND ALL THE NEARBY AREA 24/7 REGARDLESS OF WEATHER OR TIME OR SITUATION. THIS IS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE THAT WAS THERE."
You mean, this picture? Salisbury News Delivers.
Daily Times = Yellow Journalism
Dear Joe,
The Daily Times is sensoring any Pro Harris grapevine comments & letters to the editor. This is my second letter to them & I am sending it to you for publication. With everyone's access to inforamtion on the internet & through blogs, this yellow journalism from the Times is silly & uncalled for.
I thank you for bringing the truth forth Joe.

Dr. James Dobson endorses Andy Harris
Dr. James Dobson, who is a champion to all of us who care deeply about family issues & family values, have endorsed Senator Andy Harris for the first district congressional seat. Dr. Dobson’s endorsement is a testament to Senator Harris’ character & unwavering pro-family stance. The time has come to elect someone who will truly represent our morals & values in congress. Senator Harris is clearly the best choice for republicans on February 12.

Partially Treated Wastewater Spill At Wastewater Treatment Plant
Partially Treated Wastewater Spill at Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
Date: February 8, 2008
(Salisbury, Maryland) – The City is in the fourth year of a major upgrade to the City’s WWTP. The upgrade includes construction of many new treatment systems.
An underground process line serving one of the new systems began leaking on February 7th between 9:50 pm and 10:12 pm resulting in partially treated wastewater entering an on site stormdrain that feeds into the Wicomico River.
The Wicomico County Environmental Health Department advises that swimming, fishing, and water contact should be avoided in the Wicomico River from the City Park to the Upper Ferry. This advisory is in effect until further notice or when water samples show acceptable bacteria levels.
The partially treated wastewater spilled from the WWTP process line was approximately 173,000 gallons (roughly 9% of total flow received and fully treated).
The process line is being replaced by the upgrade contractor.
The spill was reported to the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Wicomico County Environmental Health Department.
The City will be taking samples of the Wicomico River and water quality testing will be performed.
For more information, contact James Caldwell, Director of Public Works (410) 548-3170.
