"It is Kylie again, Chrissy is coming to my house and people think this is not a big deal to their families. It still is! It is not funny I go to my school counseler like every day. I am upset.Too upset. But Mickey wouldn't want me to be upset.He would want me to move on with my life and be happy. Mickey is awesome still. I don't have anymore Uncles by blood, only by marrige. He will be forever in my heart and so will the other people. They were my heroes especially Mickey. I have him in a special place in my heart.A place especially for him. I am honored that they had a moment of silence for him at the Hereford Football Game. He was coach, and some people he coached have become pros in the NFL. I told him to name Maddie, Natalie Fran Lippy, because her initials would be NFL. He didn't but her initials now are MJL. She is so cute and looks just like him. I am so happy that she looks just like Mick. They found his Cell, and wallet. They wouldn't of gone out if the weather had come in earlier. But right now I am too sad to say anymore. Leave comments for me, to support me."
Lippy died in the recent Trooper 2 Helicopter Crash.

New Harris TV Ad: What People Are Saying About Frank Kratovil
New Harris TV Ad: "What people are saying about Frank Kratovil"
"Kratovil's just like O'Malley, more taxes, more spending"
Annapolis - Today, the Andy Harris for Congress campaign launched a new television ad titled "What people are saying about Frank Kratovil." The ad will air on broadcast and cable throughout the district. This is the first ad featuring former Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich.
The "Man on the Street" style ad highlights what average people are saying about Frank Kratovil. One man in the ad says, "Kratovil's just like O'Malley, more taxes, more spending."
"In this time of economic turmoil, Frank Kratovil's liberal policies will hurt Maryland families," said Chris Meekins, Harris Campaign Manager. "Kratovil's liberal policies of raising taxes and increasing wasteful spending will push our nation into a deep recession."
Showing just how out of touch Frank Kratovil is with the struggles of working families, Frank Kratovil declared earlier this week that "we solved the crisis." "Kratovil's wrong, the crisis is not solved." added Meekins.
Script of the Ad:
Man 1 - Kratovil wants to raise taxes and I can't afford any more taxes
Woman 1 - Raising taxes is never a good idea
Man 2 - Kratovil's just like O'Malley, more taxes more spending.
Woman 2 - Kratovil - too liberal
Man 3 - Just too liberal
Woman 3 - He's a big spender
Woman 4 - We can't afford Kratovil's liberal policies
Announcer - There's a clear choice for Maryland families. Andy Harris
Man 4 - He believes my money is my money, not the Washington's
Governor Ehrlich - My Friend Andy Harris, he'll make a great congressman.
Andy Harris - I'm Andy Harris and I approved this message.
Another Alleged Business Closing In Salisbury
Municipal Contractors Sales behind the State Police Barracks is allegedly closing its Salisbury branch.
The Loss Of Cody Wilson
As most of you are aware, the Father of Cody Wilson who is grieving the death of his 14 year old, (only Son) asked that I post an article today.
One can only imagine what this kind of loss means to any Parent and for that I truly am sorry for your loss.
That being said, I spent a good part of today researching this accident and every single document involved in the case. The ONLY thing I did not review were actual photographs.
Look, the bottom line here, (IMHO) is that the driver truly made a mistake by taking his eyes off the road to change a CD. One of the tires on the vehicle was in fact under inflated and Cody was not wearing his seat belt.
The young man driving the vehicle admitted he smoked pot regularly but denied the use of any smoking that day. He had a wine cooler earlier that morning but nothing showed up in his system, NOTHING. I have the reports.
You know, when we're young, (especially kids today) we tend to make mistakes and sadly this is what happened. Should the driver have enforced this young man to wear his seat belt, yes. Should he have been paying better attention to the road, yes. With text messaging today on cell phones, believe me, this is only going to get worse.
However, after reading ALL of these reports and reading the reaction of this young man looking everywhere for his 14 year old passenger, it was very clear how painful this was. The situation is very sad but there was no real trace of pot being in this young man's system and there was no trace of alcohol being in his system either.
I contacted States Attorney Davis Ruark to discuss everything I had learned and he also felt horrible for the entire Family of Cody Wilson. Based on the information they had, there was nothing they could do to prosecute the driver. They checked elsewhere to see if there was anything they could look into and there's simply nothing there. As a matter of fact, most Counties would not have arrested and or indicted him as well. The Wicomico County States Attorneys Office did everything they could in this case.
From everything I have read, the driver was not "stoned" and sadly, in life, sometimes these kind of accidents happen. As I am sorry for the loss of this young man, trying to take another young mans freedom away and punish him and further than he already has been punished, (IMO) is not the answer.
Hopefully the driver has learned from this horrific accident and has given up recreational drug use and alcohol. If he has not, in time, things will catch up to him and perhaps the kind of punishment this Father wishes upon him will come to a reality, Until then, my hope is that this young man has learned his lesson and can grow from this accident. I can only hope the Father can find peace and eventually forgive this young man.
No laws need to be created for this particular situation. However, should someone have tested positive and there are no laws on the books protecting passengers similar to a DUI accident, something should be done.
This Blog is opinionated and after my own research into this matter it is my own opinion after researching the documents in this case. I am NOT a Judge but it doesn't take very long after reading such said documents what the outcome would have been in this case, not guilty.
Again, it's a sad situation and I am very sorry for your loss.

Billy Graham's Team On Obama
Obama: By Bill Brown of the Billy Graham Team
Bill Brown, is a highly respected retired member of the Billy Graham team so, I take his assessment of Obama very seriously and for that reason accept this challenge to pass this on. I share his concern about the 'rock star' image Obama has and watch with growing concern at the celebrity status the media has foisted upon him. Here is hope this email informs you in a wise way. BW
The Obama Tidal Wave
We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Obama of rare magnitude.
His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of 'Change' or that he says he will be a 'Uniter'.
The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing. Certainly Billy Graham had charisma. Both his manner of speech and particularly the content changed millions.
On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler, too, inspired millions and the results were catastrophic.
Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham, but for many Americans riding on the Obama Tidal Wave it is just like a surfer who might be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal wave, but the reality of the ride is what happens when it hits shore.
Just Some of What Defines Barack Obama:
He voted for partial birth abortion.
He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get
out-of-state abortions.
Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government (quotas)..
In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing
as being too severe.
Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as minimum wage affair.
Admitted his use of marijuana and cocaine in high school and in college.
His religious convictions are very murky.
He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim Nations
Opposed the Patriot Act.
First bill he signed that was ever passed was campaign finance reform.
Voted to allow law suits against gun manufacturers.
Supports universal health-care.
Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.
Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.
Voted yes on comprehensive immigration reform.
Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.
Wants to make the minimum w age a 'living wage'.
Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes. (241 votes Demo, 10 votes Republican)
Is a big believer in the separation of church and state.
Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid into Soc. Sec. Tax Increase.
He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax which now hits middle income brackets.
He voted No on repealing the 'Death' Tax. Tax Increase.
He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax. Tax Increase.
Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded...which is not true.
He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.
If your political choices are consistent with Barack Obama's and you think that his positions will bring Am erica together or make it a better place, then you will probably enjoy the ride and not forward this Email.
If you are like most Americans that after examining what he stands for, are truly not in line with his record, it would be prudent to get off the wave or better yet, never get on, before it comes on shore and undermines the very foundations of this great Country. We have limited time to save America or the Supreme Court as we know it.
Inaction is action.
If you agree this is important, pass it on. The mainstream media will not do it for you!

Congressional Candidate Andy Harris Visits Salisbury News
Congressional Candidate Andy Harris stopped by 300 W. Main Street here in Downtown Salisbury just moments ago. He's visiting Salisbury AGAIN, unlike Kratovil and working for votes. The gentleman standing next to him is Mark McIver. Mark runs the Harris Campaign here on the Eastern Shore. Mark & Hala McIver are the Hosts of the Mike Lewis/Andy Harris Fundraiser this weekend.
Code & Compliance Does Surprise Inspection On 600 W. Railroad Ave
One of the biggest topics of last nights Crime Task Force Meeting was this address, 600 W. Railroad Ave.
In 1991 there were 2 calls to the SPD to this address. In 2008 there were 63 calls to this same address. Heck, in 2006 there were 84 calls to this address. This is just ridiculous!
While standing outside the building, several people pulled up and said, if you want stories on crime around here, we'll give them to you. One of them was the Car Dealership on Rt. 13 not far from this location.
Mr. Dan Morris of GNI saw me inside the building and politely asked that I leave. He didn't say he was from GNI but as soon as I leaned this I respected his position and followed his request. GNI is the company that manages this complex where there are quite a few apartments.
As busy as Code & Compliance is, its good to see them out there checking on the safety of the people living in such quarters. The SPD were there to help assist the Inspectors and hopefully this will help lower the crime at this particular address letting everyone know certain eyes are now upon them.
Hopefully we'll receive a report of their findings in the near future.
That'll Teach 'Er
"Woman Shot in Crotch for Refusing Oral Sex"
An Australian man shot a woman in the crotch after she refused his demand for oral sex, a court has been told.
Laurie Edward Elliott of Adelaide was yesterday found guilty of threatening a person with a firearm and possessing a firearm without a licence.
Elliott, 54, demanded the woman perform the sex act on him while the pair were driving in suburban Adelaide, the Advertiser reported.
After the gun went off, hitting the woman in the inner thigh, Elliott told her the gun had gone off accidentally.
The woman today told how the shooting had forced her to move interstate and the stress it had placed on her family.
Judge David Lovell remanded Elliott in custody for sentencing on October 24.

Tough Love vs. Spanking - Good Argument
Most people think it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.'
One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk.
Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say it's the time away from any distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, IPod, etc.
Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. Eye to eye contact helps a lot too.
I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.
Sincerely,
Your Friend
This works with grandchildren,
nieces, and nephews as well.

Mayors Crime Task Force Take 2
Yesterday afternoon the 2nd meeting of the Mayors Crime Task Force took place. It wasnt advertised on the city website for some reason, but was open to the public. Committee members talked about what they're hearing from the public, suspicion that the task force is window dressing or just another layer of bureaucracy. Councilwoman Debbie Campbells subcommittee group took charge with unveiling of a crime task force website http://www.salisburycrime.blogspot.com/ and a powerpoint presentation that is available on the site of highlights from her 3 neighborhood walks and discussions with local residents. When it looked like things were going to turn into more talk and no action Debbie Campbell said "If that's what you're planning to do then maybe this isn't the best place for me because my constituents are tired of crime and expect to see some real action." Already actions have taken place do to her subcommittees hard work, 600 west railroad avenue is going to be inspected to make sure the 23 rented rooms are compliant with safety regulations.

Should Prisoners Be Allowed To Vote?
"Prisoners at Georgia jails are being registered to vote in the Nov. 4 election. About two dozen residents of the Clarke County Jail in Athens signed up in the facility's first voter registration. The sheriff's office helped 376 jail inmates request absentee ballots and registered an additional 441 inmates so they can vote in the upcoming election. If I am not correct Maine and Vermont are the only two states currently that allow prisoners to vote. Should this happen and should it be a states choice?"

Local Father Reaches Out For Help, Guidance & Support
Tragic Injustice
Thursday, October 9, 2008
"I'm the father of Cody J Wilson ( 14 years of age )
The child who was killed because of the negligence of the driver of a vehicle who was tested positive of being under the influence of illegal drugs while he crashed and killed my son.This is very hard to write as a objective person , yet I will try to do my best.
On the day of Sunday, April 22 , 2007 , My son , Cody J Wilson was a passinger in a vehicle driven by Gurny York III. While returning to his mother's house, my son , Cody , was thrown from the vehicle after Gurny lost control due to his negligence .
The vehicle left the road way because Gurny was looking away from the road , looking for a C.D. He over corrected to bring the vehicle back onto the road and proceeded to continue across the other lane and then over corrected once again , causing the vehicle to over-turn.
My son,who was a passenger, was ejected from the vehicle as a result of not being restrained in the vehicle. The vehicle flipped over and ended on top of my son. Which caused his death.
The Officer first on the scene noticed that Gurny was not of "his faculties" proceeded to enforce that Gurny take a blood toxicology test. The results of the blood test proved positive for use of illegal drugs. As a result of the blood test Gurny was found positive of illegal drugs in his blood.
As a result of this vehicle crash , Gurny was indited by a Grand Jury for " Negligent Homicide". Which is the charge the Attorney's office said was the offence which was committed.
Since such time, I met with the States Attorney's Office and they informed me that they would not proceed with the case on the grounds that there is no proof of impairment from the illegal drugs present in Gurny's blood at the time of the crash. I was told that there is no set level of impairment for drugs, unlike alcohol, that they would not be able to convict for the charge of Negligent Homicide". As a result , Gurny has been able to continue to drive with two other traffic violations of excess of speed. 60 mph in a 35 mph zone and 90 in a 65 mph zone. Both of which he has failed to appear for.
Now I understand that I am very biased against this person, but what I don't understand is why the state allows this killer to continually drive illegally with out any repercussions.
Now for the dirt, The States Attorney, Davis Ruark, was arrested for "Driven Under The Influence" during the time of my son's death. During this time He refused to allow the Grand Jury to hear the case of my son's killer. I cannot even think of the words to express my sorrow for this injustice to my son.
How is it that our Justice System is so corrupt that a "Jury of our peers" is not allowed to preside over a case that had been all ready Indited by a Grand Jury? Does this man, Davis Ruark, have the power to single handily decide what crimes are to be prosecuted or not?
Either way, A crime was committed to my son, and because he was killed he has been "swept under the rug" And further more I have been treated as less than a citizen as a result of Davis Ruark's personal decision.
Because of the injustice done to my self , I cannot and have not rested easy knowing that my son's killer has been allowed to continually live with out any penance after the crime he has committed. Why do we have laws for any how, when the interpretation of them are decided by a single person who is no better than the person who commits the crime in the first place?
What I propose is a new law that states "any death committed under the influence of a illegal drug" be prosecuted as a crime committed under one's full coherency. And lets stop this miss-justice from being committed.
A person shouldn't be allowed to kill someone just because they are "stoned".
I am not able to write more on this at this time because it's so close to home but please let your hearts lead you and help me to correct this in-justice by endorsing the push for a "CODY LAW" holding those who are under the influence of any mind altering illegal drug be held responsible for any crime they committed.
On behalf of my late son CODY J. WILSON thank-you FERRILL WILSON I hope to be able to write more later. There are so many more facts surrounding this incident.
I thank-you for your time and help in getting the word out."

An Observation From A Reader
"If I have this figured out Joe Albero is potentially the luckiest and richest man in the world here's why:
-I received and email that said if I forwarded it to 5 friends I would have great luck in less than 6 months
-Another email notified me that if I forward it to 10 of my friends I would get a free iPod and be entered in a contest where I would receive free down loads for life and $1,000.00 a month for life. Wow how cool.
-A separate email states after forwarding to 15 or more friends I would have massive luck with women, a potential for a lifetime income of several million dollars and a healthier head of hair Wow Uber Cool.
So after reviewing this and noticing several other people have "already won" (it's true I read it on the internet) If Joe would post these emails to the literally thousands who read his blog he would have sent out so many winning emails that other than the money he would have a truck load of iPods with more download than he could handle.
If you haven't gotten these notices I would be very happy to share them if you need to. It has brought up two questions in my mind though #1 could I have one of your overstock of iPods and #2 why do some of these emails think I want to "Grow" bigger boobs?
Hope this finds you well so get back to work
Ben in Salisbury"

IT’S ANOTHER SALISBURY "GOAL SETTING SESSION"
If you crave free humor don’t miss the Mayor and City Council’s annual goal setting meeting this Saturday (Oct. 11). It will take place at Asbury United Methodist Church (Fox Room), located on Camden Avenue, beginning at 12:30 P.M.
In the past these meetings have been propaganda productions, in which important issues are not addressed seriously, followed by public pronouncement of "goals" consisting of platitudes and vague promises. This year will surely see more of the same BS by Barrie Tilghman, Bubba Comegys, Louise Smith and Shanie Shields, their focus being on increased programs and expenditures in a time of fiscal tightening, with little if any attention to cutting City spending.
An area that won’t be discussed in detail is the City’s chaotic budget and related matters – it now has even had to hire an accounting firm to help keep the books, in addition to the auditing firm. There is no meaningful budgetary oversight; the line-item budget is a thing of the past, as taxes and sewer/water charges skyrocket.
If it’s a bit chilly on Saturday, don’t worry – there will be plenty of hot air in motion.
