Frank White Retains His Seat In Princess Anne!

There were two scuffles outside the election center, one involving one of the candidates Debbie Farrow. One person from the White campaign was walking past Debbie and the next thing you knew, Debbie was shoving this woman.

Another person walked into the election place going off about John Wade. But wait, it gets even better! I was personally standing there when the election board became VERY upset over the fact that the majority of the Absentee Ballots, (90%+) were hand written by the same person. We're talking election fraud!

Nevertheless, the final numbers were as follows:

Frank White 111 votes.

Allen Muir 42 votes.

Debbie Farow 39 votes.

John Wade 47 votes, DISQUALIFIED. Mind you, there were only 8 legitimate votes for Wade.

More to come......

Hebron Developer Tracts Set For Tax Sale

Porter Mill Road Properties, LLC, the developer of Waller Landing in Hebron, has two of its tracts (#817 and #818) published for tax sale in a couple of weeks. They paid the Hebron taxes only yesterday and as of
9:40 a.m. today, the County taxes remain delinquent.

Not a good move on the part of that developer!

The vote to pass on the LLC's Waller Landing project by the Planning Commission is set for this Thursday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHERINE AMENTA

If you happen to see WMDT's Katherine Amenta today, wish her a very Happy Birthday!

Disqualified John Wade Makes Headlines Again

While the election board looked into the multiple absentee ballots, 41 of them were completely invalid. These were NOT registered voters, so why would someone waste their time collecting such ballots?

I have been here in Princess Anne since 6:30 AM and Mr. Wade has yet to show up at all. Even though he stated in the Daily Times today that he would be here and run, my guess is he's afraid of the Local and or State Police confronting him for an illegal drivers license.

So much for the photo op! LOL

Salisbury - All's Well in the Land of Low Taxes, Toys and Safety

If I didn't know better I would swear that our own Daily Times had shifted from (supposedly) being a newspaper to becoming a humor mag. Unfortunately not.

This morning we learn that Salisbury Councilwoman Louise Smith WON'T support higher taxes. I haven't heard anything so humorously absurd since a friend of mine stood before the Wicomico Republican Club and stated that, "we need more principled candidates like Louise Smith" on the very night last year when she voted to make way for a double digit tax increase while admitting that she had been too busy to read Mayor Barrie Tilghman's proposed budget.

Councilman Gary Comegys won't support more police and firefighters because "firefighters needed their toys". The next time you meet a Salisbury VOLUNTEER firefighter, let them know that you really appreciated their service until Comegys told you that these folks are only in it for the toys.

Councilwoman Shanie Shields, Salisbury's resident one woman brain trust, doesn't want more police officers. "Crime is not a problem in Salisbury." I can only assume that Shields believes that the recent run of murders within the city is simply God's way of thinning the surplus population.

Just when you believe that the level of absurdity in Barrieland may have leveled off, Smith, Comegys or Shields open their mouths.

Nothing But Love in the Wicomico County Government

Perhaps Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt has finally wormed his way into the good graces of the Daily Times. Today's paper makes no mention of a potential multi-million dollar liability to be taken on at the behest of Pollitt.

Jermaine Wright Is Behind Bars Again

Jermaine Wright, (recently released from jail for the murder of a young lady in Ocean City) is back behind bars in Jail for stealing from Reynolds Excavating in Princess Anne.

The Maryland State Police arrested him yesterday after the owner, Richard Reynolds personally caught him red handed stealing hydraulic materials, engine heads and other metals off their property.

Mr. Reynolds actually chased him into Fruitland until he finally pinned him and waited for the State Police to arrive.

Mr. Wright is out on parole and will not be released until his trial.

Question of the Day, Tue 6/3

Do you think MVA should make it mandatory for drivers to take a driving test more than once? For example, maybe every 10 years, which would be every other license renewal? Not to knock senior citizens, because I respect my elders...but I see people that look 85+ years old, driving. However, on the other hand, there are many middle-aged drivers that seem to NOT know the laws of the road.

Re-Elect Frank White

His signs are just about everywhere in Princess Anne and just about everyone you see loves this guy to death. Even though this job only pays $1,200.00 a year, no that is not a typo, twelve hundred dollars a year is all that job pays. You have to love what you're doing and the people you're representing. I happen to know Frank White does just that. It doesn't matter what department you go to, they all love Frank White. IMO, the guy was made to be a politician, period. Good Luck today Frank.

Hot Dogs In The Park

Last Friday I was asked to come back to Princess Anne to join the Citizens and Employees of Princess Anne for their monthly Hot Dogs In The Park event.

What amazes me is how this community comes together to enjoy some fellowship whereas everyone feels so welcome and every face is smiling. Oh, you could say Princess Anne is a lot like Mayberry and you know what, that's OK. I doubt very seriously anyone would be offended by such a statement. It's a quaint little Town with wonderful and happy people. If they had taxes like Delaware, I'd even move there.

Take note Barrie Tilghman. This is how you communicate with the people that voted you into Office. So why doesn't this happen in Salisbury? At this point, the only people that would show up are the employees because they'd feel like if they didn't show they'd lose their jobs. How does that make you feel Barrie, powerful? Lonely?

Today Is The Big Day In Princess Anne

This old Historic Building in Princess Anne was recently renovated by the Chamber of Commerce and is the voting place for Citizens of Princess Anne. I happened to be admiring it the other day when I was visiting and was filled in on how they just converted it into a Visitors Center, since it was only used once every two years for voting.

It is currently 4:30 AM and I am up early this morning because I'm going to make my way down to Princess Anne this morning to keep tabs on the election there. The polls open at 7:00 AM and close at 7:00 PM. However, I hear there may be some interesting action first thing this morning and I'd like to be there if there is.

I'll be reporting LIVE from Princess Anne today, since that's where all the action has been the past two days.

Why Does This Work?

Ok, I'm a blonde and am the brunt of many blonde jokes but for the life of me can't figure out why this works. Try it and then please someone explain this! YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know! YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH This is pretty neat DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read . Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun. 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold) 3. Add 5 4. Multiply it by 50 <> 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758... If you haven't, add 1757. 6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.) The next two numbers are YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!) THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

Open Question On City Park Part 2

I took another walk around the City Park area, from Ben's Red Swings to the end of the park at Snow Hill Rd, and took some of the comments into consideration. Looking a little more closely and in some new places I found some more stuff that is detracting from the area. I'll have my opinion on the shoreline growth later, but I appreciate the comments from the posters. Thank you.






These are two groups of leftover bio-logs just sitting around. Why are they still around and not been used? They are laying next to the water treatment plant.

This is the area which from one my first picture showed partially. The bio-logs were originally stored here and clearly the area has not been fully cleaned up or improved. It's quite a large area with a pile of matting and there is matting sticking up from the sand.

Again things are looking a tad bit fallow and things are not picked up or finished. It does not look good. Bunch of little things add up. Just showing you all that it was more than just perceived overgrown banks.

So I'll ask the question again what is planned for the park in renovations/maintenance/clean up? Where are we going to be after this year?

I'll have more to come.
