If At First You Don't Succeed, Publish Your Press Release Again!
On August 21, 2008, Detectives of the Salisbury Police Department arrested 59 year old CHARLES WESLEY KILMON, Jr. of Easton, Maryland for a number of offenses related to impersonating a Maryland State Trooper. During the investigation of the homicide of Audrey Jurewicz, Salisbury Detectives received information from interviews with area prostitutes concerning a subject representing himself as a Maryland State Trooper in an attempt to gain sexual favors. Witnesses advised that the suspect would pick up the prostitutes, then would identify himself as a trooper. The suspect would kiss and fondle the victims, without permission, then release the victims from his vehicle. Salisbury Detectives released a bulletin concerning the suspect, who was ultimately located then charged with second degree assault, fourth degree sex offense, and impersonating a police officer.
The Salisbury Police were recently contacted by a witness with additional information concerning this suspect. For this reason, the Salisbury Police Department is requesting that anyone who has had contact with this suspect in which he represented himself as a police officer to contact the Criminal Investigation Division of the Salisbury Police at 410-548-3113.

OCPD Mounted Patrol Horse Retires
The Ocean City Police Department is announcing that long time veteran Mounted Patrol
Horse “Buddy” is being retired after 16 years of dedicated service to the Town of Ocean City.
Throughout “Buddy’s” career, he has been a faithful and loyal partner to several OCPD
mounted patrol officers. He has been involved in hundreds of arrests as well as crowd
control situations, searches for lost children, public events, demonstrations and
parades.
Because of his demeanor and dependability, “Buddy” was regularly used as the primary
“new mounted officer” training horse. His vast experience made him a regular choice
for high profile events such as President William Jefferson Clinton’s 2nd inauguration parade that took place in January 1997, in Washington, DC.
Upon his retirement, Chief Bernadette DiPino has promoted “Buddy” to the rank of
Sergeant. “Buddy” is approximately 26 years old and has enjoyed a distinguished
career with the OCPD. To ensure “Buddy’s” safe and tranquil transition to retirement,
an OCPD officer and his family have agreed to stable “Buddy” at their farm for his
remaining days. “Buddy” will continue to be cared for by his police family, enjoying lush
green pastures in a safe and peaceful setting.
Your Lovely Wicomico River In Salisbury

There's Only One Way To Beautify The Downtown Plaza & That Does Not Include Barrie Tilghman!
While this very beautiful young lady was out enjoying the Downtown Plaza today, Public Works was out in force closing down the Plaza again to traffic and pruning all the trees and shrubs. They were also cleaning the walk way and road. I'll follow up with those pictures later. In the mean time I thought I'd share the prettiest sight in Town right now. Thanks for posing.
A Worthy Benefit For Someone In Need
Cynthia Bratten (Cindy) is a resident of Pittsville and is in need of some help. The benefit is Sept 11, 2008 at 9pm to be held at Station 7 Restaurant in Pittsville.
A DJ is booked for the night, donation buckets will be in place and Todd, (Owner of the Station 7 Restaurant) told me he would be placing buckets out for the month of Sept. The purpose is to raise money to help Cindy purchase a power chair in which her doctor has prescribed her but insurance only covers a portion of the chair and any extra money will be used to cover numerous past due medical bills. Cindy has been disabled since 2002 and been unable to work due to numerous nuero surgeries, her lower back has been fused together by pins and rods along with her cervical spine as well.
If you can help in any way, attending, making donations and or even providing some items for them to raffle off, that would be great. Times are tough for all of us but for most, at least we have our health and we can walk. Think about it. Thanks again to the Wampler Family of Pittsville for opening their place of business for so many good causes.

The Robinson Trial Is On!
Tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM John Robinson of Robinson Jewelers will face a Jury in a case that is simply mind boggling. The story goes as follows.
While an employee in his business was working the front counter, John Robinson pulled out of of his many guns. He held the gun, then pulled out the clip and then pulled the trigger. Fragments went flying everywhere, in which some allegedly hit the employee.
The employee freaked out and became hysterical. I'm told John was telling her to calm down and not say a word to anyone about it, not even his Wife, he could lose his business and or gun license. He sent the female employee to the bathroom to collect herself. She was then kept at the business for the rest of the day and wasn't sent home.
Tomorrow should be quite interesting.
If The People In Front Of You Don't Turn Quick Enough, Break The Law!
Obviously Gain Masonry was in a HUGE hurry yesterday as one of their drivers was sitting in what they call TRAFFIC during rush hour and the people in front of them weren't turning fast enough. So, they started honking their horn and in anger pulled into the oncoming land several cars away from the traffic light and proceeded around the vehicles in front of them. As you can also see, another vehicle did the exact same thing after Gain Masonry made their move.
This is the intersection of Mill Street and Main Street and quite often there are many handicap people trying to get across the road. It's bad enough you no sooner get a green light and start crossing the road, within 2 to three steps the light is flashing red for pedestrians. They are working on that.
Look, for what its worth. This is the Eastern Shore. Traffic, especially rush hour traffic is NOTHING. You go to Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis or any of the Beltways around them and you'll see traffic. Slow down and quit breaking the law before someone gets killed.

A Humane Society Comment Worthy Of A Post
"Last October my house sitter accidently left the front door unlocked and my dog got loose. We drove 4 hours back home to look for him. Several unanswered calls to the HS and I went there. I could here him barking as I entered the building. I showed a very good picture of him and they told me he wasn't there and would not let me look. As I exited the building I distinctly heard his bark. I went back in and he was there. I put him on his leash and walked out.

BREAKING NEWS! Showtime Coming To Salisbury?
.jpg)
Prize Fight Promotions came into Salisbury Monday to conduct a meeting with representatives from the Wicomico County Convention Center and Showtime Network. The details have been worked out and ironed out to bring a Nationally Televised Showtime Prize Fight to Salisbury with exception of the Maryland Athletic Commission, in which all parties feel the details to their commitment will also be worked out.
The Time, OCTOBER 3RD, 2008. It's a Friday Night, the night before Homecoming in Wicomico County. There will be two bouts televised, one of them will be Fernando Guerrero in an 8 Round Fight and another bout that will be a 10 Round Bout. There will be a third fight but it won't be televised.
Now, from what my sources tell me, they are working very closely with Salisbury University to allow all College Students, High School Students and below extremely low ticket prices for these bouts and as I spoke directly with one of the Promoters last night, they're interested in possibly bringing as many as three Televised Fights to Salisbury per year.
So what does that mean? It means as a community, we need to support this event to show we're not only interested in Fernando Guerrero, we're interested in Prize Fights in Wicomico County.
Hal Chernoff has been working far too many years with these kids to let him down. So we're reaching out to everyone and asking for your support. Your response here, even anonymously, (as most people do anyway) would be greatly appreciated.
I'm hoping our friends in Crisfield, Deal Island, Ocean City, Princess Anne, Pocomoke, UMES and all those in between will also show their support as this is a really cool opportunity.
Within the next two days we should hear of a confirmation from the Maryland Athletic Commission and hopefully from there everything will be a go. Great work Hal. Now let's show these guys we're interested and the Eastern Shore is no longer a sleeper area in the State of Maryland!

The Daily Times Has Their Head Right Up Their Own A$$
Did YOU see last Saturday's Paper, the Daily Times? Did you happen to catch THEIR version of the top 10 Pizza Shops in Salisbury?
Talk about a complete group of a$$ wipes, seriously! You know when I write like this I'm upset about something but Poinzetti's Pizza was #1 to them? ARE YOU ONE OF JERRY'S KIDS, OR WHAT?
I come from NEW YORK where we take our Pizza VERY seriously. The BEST #1 Pizza on the Eastern Shore is Depietro's NY Pizzeria, 211 Milford Street in Salisbury. There is NO comparison to them, unless you go to New York, where this Family moved here from.
Delmar Pizza and Vinny's Deep Dish Pizza are second and third. However, you cannot touch the quality and taste of Depetro's NY Pizza and if you haven't had it, you have NO CLUE what you're missing! It's the real deal, period.
Once I saw that article and the Ponzetti's BS, my God, you can't even lift a slice of that greasy slab of crud without it flipping over and slopping in your lap. I went there ONCE years ago and I have never gone back.
NOW, let's confirm some thing here. When someone says they serve a New York Style Pizza, that's what we expect. When you deliver crap like Dough Rollers and Ponzetti's Pizza and you have to use a fork and knife, even after the pizza is cold and 2 hours old, that's crap!
You go to Depetro's and tell them Charlie sent you, you may walk out of there with a bag of cash too. LOL, just kidding. Tell them Joey sent you from da Salisbury News and they'll take care of yuz guys. There's NO OTHER NY Style Pizza around, unless I'm not aware of them. The ones mentioned in the Daily Times, FAGETABOUTIT!
Gilchrest Claims, I Bear No Grudge ...
... sure you don't Wayne.
Soon to be former Congressman Wayne Gilchrest has shown First District voters that being a SORE LOSER yields the requisite 15 minutes of fame. He has also shown that personal honor is not a requirement to being elected to Congress.
Well... We kind of knew that before yesterday.
Gilchrest's endorsement of Democrat Frank Kratovil is hardly surprising. It's merely sad. A bitter old man was rejected by the voters and now he thinks that he can punish First District Republicans by helping to elect a slave to Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi.
We already knew that Frank Kratovil would say or do anything to get elected. Wayne Gilchrest has chosen to betray the very people who tried to help him in his unsuccessful attempt for re-election by breaking his word.
This isn't about partisanship, this is about honor, principle, and the ability to hold to your word. It's unfortunate that, win or lose, Gilchrest's legacy will be that he failed to posses any of these traits. Read More ...

Question of the Day, Wed 9/3
Have you ever hurt or killed an animal with your car?
If so, was it a pet or wild animal?
Deer? Dog? Cat? Raccoon? Squirrel? Rabbit?
Did you swerve to avoid the collision? Did you leave marks on the road from locking up the brakes to avoid the collision? What did you do next?
How do you feel now, after remembering this happening?

Can YOU Afford To Visit Downtown Salisbury Any More?
With the meters changing to twenty five cents every twenty minutes instead of thirty minutes, paying the $1.00 late fee within one hour can at times be impossible. As you can see from this ticket, they came in after the one hour and were billed $10.00 for having their meter run over.
I know from personal experience, just when you think there's going to be a short meeting, things start dragging on and the next thing you know you're over your time. This particular person was not at all happy about their ticket as they frequent the City every day and the City has become very strict on their one hour policy.
hat do you think about all of this? Has it happened to you? Do you think a $10.00 fine is fair?
I Have To Apologize
I just went to Moderate more than 50 comments and I hit the reject button instead of the accept button. I'm sorry Folks! At least it doesn't happen often. There were so many comments lined up I went directly through Blogger and was lining them up one after the other and I hit the wrong button. This is NOT a good way to start the morning. LOL
County Council Meeting Yesterday
Although the photographer wasn't all that, my picture was taken as I stood in front of the County Council encouraging them to attend the Boat Docking Contest at Brew River this Saturday. I wanted the Council and Citizens know this event was taking place and how much I enjoyed the Crisfield and Deal Island events this past weekend.

Holy Prostitutes!
A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway when he notices a sign out of the corner of his eye....It reads:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCISHOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 10 MILES
He thinks this is a figment of his imagination and drives on without second thought....
Soon he sees another sign which reads:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 5 MILES
Suddenly he begins to realize that these signs are for real and drives past a third sign saying:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT
His curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the far side of the parking lot is a stone building with a small sign next to the door reading:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit who asks, "What may we do for you my son?"
He answers, "I saw your signs along the highway and was interested in possibly doing business...."
"Very well my son. Please follow me." He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun stops at a closed door and tells the man, "Please knock on this door."
He does so and another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup answers the door... This nun instructs, "Please place $100 in the cup then go through the large wooden door at the end of the hallway."
He puts $100 in the cup, eagerly trots down the hall and slips through the door pulling it shut behind him.
The door locks, and he finds himself back in the parking lot facing another sign:
GO IN PEACE. YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS.
SERVES YOU RIGHT, YOU SINNER
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCISHOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 10 MILES
He thinks this is a figment of his imagination and drives on without second thought....
Soon he sees another sign which reads:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 5 MILES
Suddenly he begins to realize that these signs are for real and drives past a third sign saying:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT
His curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the far side of the parking lot is a stone building with a small sign next to the door reading:
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit who asks, "What may we do for you my son?"
He answers, "I saw your signs along the highway and was interested in possibly doing business...."
"Very well my son. Please follow me." He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun stops at a closed door and tells the man, "Please knock on this door."
He does so and another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup answers the door... This nun instructs, "Please place $100 in the cup then go through the large wooden door at the end of the hallway."
He puts $100 in the cup, eagerly trots down the hall and slips through the door pulling it shut behind him.
The door locks, and he finds himself back in the parking lot facing another sign:
GO IN PEACE. YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS.
SERVES YOU RIGHT, YOU SINNER
Where's The Murderer?
Back in the beginning of August Salisbury News let everyone know a local prostitute had been murdered. I received that very evening the exact information on the suspect who had allegedly been involved in the murder and kept that information to myself.
In fact, because I had received such information and made the proper calls to make sure I didn't do something with this information that would interfere in their investigation, I was confronted by numerous Law Enforcement Agencies because the Chief of the Salisbury Police Department insisted simply because I had this information, I should be arrested and dealt with.
Considering the WISDOM of the other Agencies, they quickly realized I had done absolutely nothing wrong and never released any information Chief Webster hadn't already released to the rest of the Media. So once again, his attempts to get me into more trouble failed.
Nevertheless, I still have all of this information and I challenged Chief Webster a month ago as to why he hasn't informed the Public more details about their #1 Suspect in this case and because he failed to educate the Public, this KILLER is still on the loose. Yeah, you don't see this information making the News Tracker in the Daily Times now, do you?
That's because the Police Chief failed to perhaps do the right think and allow the Citizens to get involved and help track down the car and suspect. In the mean time Webster and the Mayor continue to arrest, (every so often) more prostitutes to make it look like they're doing something about it. However, again, in the mean time, the killer is still on the loose.
This Administration has proven with the rise in serious crime that they are simply winging it while the other example, Sheriff Mike Lewis is using PROACTIVE POLICING and getting unbelievable results. The Salisbury Police Department leadership refuses to truly cooperate with the Sheriff's Department and the State Police, hence their screwed up statistics here in Salisbury.
So once again, there is a KILLER on the loose in Salisbury and the rest of the Press has kept it so quiet everyone has forgotten this as being fact. I demand better results out of the people we pay top dollar to and while taxes go up and salaries went up, what have we received for our money? It's time for Chief Webster to pack his bags and move down to Crisfield for good and let someone more PROACTIVE take over the SPD and actually start protecting the Citizens of Salisbury.
In the mean time, keep your eyes open for that silver sedan and call the Police Chief for more details on the murder. I already have it but I wouldn't want to put myself in a position where I interfere in a COLD CASE MURDER Investigation, if'n you know what I mean?

I Actually Felt Bad For Police Chief Webster
The Host of the Crisfield Boat Docking Contest, (Flea) was giving away Tee Shirts during the event. The photo above shows the crowd and how excited they are about the shirts he was giving away.
When I noticed things were a bit slow, I went up to Flea with a Salisbury News Tee Shirt and said, would you like to give one of mine away? He replied, REALLY? I handed him the shirt and he immediately announced that Salisbury News was present taking all of the pictures of this event and the crowd honest to God went nuts. (Thank you, by the way)
He then announced, who would like a FREE Tee Shirt from Salisbury News, hence the above two photos where people were actually waving, jumping up and actually getting involved. Heck, next year I'm going to bring a bunch of them!
Right smack dab in the middle of this crowd was Police Chief Webster having to suck it all in and hearing the crowd go nuts. As a matter of fact, I ran into another Salisbury Police Officer soon after and all he could say was, you're pretty well received out here Albero, aren't you! I said, do ya think? He said, I heard the crowd!
I'm truly humbled by the reception Salisbury News received the entire weekend out there and I'm so glad so many people rely on us to bring them the real news and information to the Eastern Shore.
Is This Man Sleeping, Dreaming Or Praying?
If there's anyone to blame, (should he be found sleeping) it's all John Cannon's fault. The man can't seem to keep County Council Meetings exciting and is the reason for so many people taking a snooze.
