Local Leaders in Attendance
Local Salisbury leaders came out tonight to celebrate the start of the Shorebirds season. Dignitaries included County Executive Rick Pollitt, County Council President John Cannon, and City Council President Louise Smith. They are enjoying the great sky boxes which the Shorebirds offer for games. Thanks for comming out guys!
Live At Shorebirds Home Opener
Joe and I are live in the press box bringing you live updates all game long. Tonight there will be a fireworks display courtesy of Froggy 99.9. The rain is holding off and the game is going to go on. So come over and enjoy a great Delmarva tradition! The 5th pic is what it is all about guys. Comming to the game no matter what the weather is to have fun! Hats off to the grounds crew getting the field in great condition for the game despite the weather.
90 Minutes Away?????
In 90 minutes the Shorebirds take the field for their season opener. However, from the looks of the rain, I'm not so sure this game is going to take place. I'm heading that way anyway because I have things to do on that end of town. I'll be in touch.
WICOMICO COUNTY PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT DRUG PROGRAM A BIG HIT
Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr., announced today the new county free discount drug program is exceeding expectations. Pollitt said, “During the first eight weeks of the Wicomico County free prescription drug discount program, county residents used the cards 463 times and earned prescription discounts averaging $11.27 per use.”
Lori Brewster, County Acting Health Officer and the administrator of the program, said,
“We launched the program in early January to help consumers cope with the high price of prescription drugs. The county is making the free prescription drug discount cards available under a program sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) that offers average savings of 20 percent off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs.
“The cards may be used by all county residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage, and are accepted at most all of the county’s pharmacies. A national network of more than 59,000 participating retail pharmacies also honors the Wicomico County Prescription Discount Card.
“Using the NACo prescription discount card is easy,” continued Brewster. “Simply present it at a participating pharmacy. There is no enrollment form, no membership fee and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use. Cardholders and their family members may use the card any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance.”
A list of card pick-up locations and participating pharmacies is available on the Wicomico County Health Department’s website at www.wicomicohealth.org. County residents may also call toll free 1-877-321-2652 or visit www.caremark.com/naco for additional assistance with the program.
OK Daily Times, Which Is It?
For years now it has been VERY clear that the new Fire Station will cost the Taxpayers $10,000,000.00. However, for the SECOND time this week, Barrie Tilghman and the Daily Times have been promoting the Station costing $8,000,000.00? That's a 20% reduction and even though I did hear it has been completed at 3% under the overall cost, we're talking Bubba Math here Ladies & Gentlemen.
Just how many times in one day can one Newspaper KNOWINGLY LIE to their Customers? IF the Mayor had saved the Taxpayers $2,000,000.00 on that building, a Press Conference would have broken out and at least YOU/I would have seen some relief. However, the Daily Times is once again running Barrie Tilghman's Reelection Campaign and if I were you, I wouldn't take this crap any longer.
It's bad enough they allowed two comments in today's Grapevine, knowing what was stated about Debbie Campbell & Terry Cohen was wrong. However, anything to smear their names and promote the positive for Barrie Tilghman.
I've said enough. YOU look at the article and make up your own mind. Is it 8 million or 10 million dollars?

If any of you have used Maryland Judiciary Case search, you can look up Neil Hitchcock or Neil T. Hitchcock and find many different cases on him and his many different companies. These are just some of the samples I found.
Barrie Tilghman made a proud statement that they had finally opened the Oasis Car Wash next to Sam's Club and let me tell you Ladies & Gentlemen, I'm there quite often and there's rarely anyone there. The first few days they opened they had stragglers here and there but since then, I haven't seen a single car use that facility. I wouldn't be surprised if they get into the Enterprise Zone too. From the looks of it, I'd say this is going to be a very short lived Car Wash under this ownership anyway.

Capitals Gets Big Help From Penguins, Devils
Good news for Caps fans came last night with Pittsburg topping Philadelphia 4-2 and New Jersey beating Boston in overtime. Boston earned a point for the O.T. period tie but New Jersey got the extra point by winning the shootout. Washington is still 2 points behind the Boston Bruins and only a point behind the Flyers with two games remaining on the Caps regular season. Boston and Philadelphia both have two games reamaining in their season. The most points Washington can earn is 94 points and the max for the Bruins and Flyers are 96 and 95 point respectively.
To secure an at large bid Washington must win at least one game with New Jersey lossing out or they can win out and have the Flyers win only one game or have OT ties. With Boston getting a point from making it through the 4 on 4 O.T. period, Washington's best bet with overtaking the Bruins is to win out coupled with losses from Boston.
The Carolina Hurricanes bounced back against Tampa Bay 6-2 after a critical loss to the Capitals. Washington would win the division by winning out and a Hurricane loss to Tampa Bay Friday night. The Capitals are in action tonight against Tampa Bay, the last place team in the Eastern Conference who they beat one week ago 4-3 at 7:00 on Comcast Sports.

The Daily Times Grapevine
Salisbury City Council
I find it very disturbing that two current City Council members -- Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen -- have each been involved in the past two years in lawsuits involving the city. In both cases, they were siding against the very city they're (not) representing. So who do they really represent -- the taxpayers or themselves?
Can't the city of Salisbury and its governmental antics (you, too, Wicomico County) settle down? Now we have yet another City Council member testifying in court against the city? Gracious. Debbie Campbell seems to be on her own personal crusade -- one that apparently is bent on giving the city more black eyes. Can't everyone just relax?
Are You Freakin Kidding Me? The Daily Times is THAT desperate that they would allow such comments? You know what Greg Basset, you really suck at what you do, seriously. And the Times complains about the Blogs?
Not for nothing Folks but back in the day when I played Pool on Tour, one of the main strategies was to always make your opponent shoot your game. In other words, if he was a really slow player, force him to pick up his speed and you've got the match won. You get my drift. As far as I'm concerned, the Daily Times is no longer playing their game and the match has been won. Hence the comments above.

NO, My Dogs Haven't Pissed On It YET
Once again, I went into yet another section of today's paper and this is what I got. This is simply ridiculous, seriously. ANYONE in the Printing Industry has to be looking at the Daily Times and saying, FIRE THESE IDIOTS!
Today's Daily Times
If you're wondering where your paper is this morning, they had problems with the press again last night and this was hand delivered this morning. You know me, the Blogger gets special delivery attention because they know I'll blast away at them, just like I am now.
I made my second tip out to the mailbox this morning and as I was walking away, a pickup truck pulled up and the guy got out and said, "you didn't get your paper?" Nope, I replied. He reached into the truck and pulled one out and handed it to me. The timing was simply freak? One reason I say that is, he was heading in the opposite direction of a normal delivery. In other words, he would have had to insert the paper through his passenger window, not the drivers.
Nevertheless, I asked what the delay was and he replied they had problems with the press again. Obviously when I returned back to the house and opened the paper from its plastic bag, this is what I got. A pathetic waste of paper and print! It's no wonder my numbers are what they are every day!
So for those of you who are advertising in that piece of crap newspaper, know I paid no attention to any ads in there simply because I'm NOT taking this PUZZLE of a newspaper and piecing it together to read what I probably wrote two days ago anyway.
How's It Working For You Folks?

Once again, one year ago today this is what we saw at the Polls. And people wonder why one of these Idiots is threatening a lawsuit against Debbie Campbell?
The Three Wise Men
.jpg)
While everyone waited for the results from the polls on election day one year ago, these three gentlemen stood toe to toe talking politics. They would be, G.A. Harrison, Jim Ireton & Bob Caldwell. These are the faces we need to see in the Mayor's Office and on Council.
One Year Ago Today Part II

It was one year ago today people went to the polls and voted, these were the end results. How's it working for ya Folks?
