Boy, I really pissed those guys and gals off today along with the Daily Times Staff. I think they can all smell the burnt rubber as Salisbury News keeps blowing right past them each and every day and burnt rubber leaves a nasty smell, doesn't it?
You should see some of these nasty comments. Heck, there was even another death threat today. Oooooh, I'm so scared. Oh well, just another day at Salisbury News. Bunch of racists. ;-)

GANNETT COMES CLOSE TO SETTING NEW RECORD LOW
Gannett Co., Inc. - (The Daily Times parent company) - can breath a sigh of relief, at least temporarily. Their stock got a brief reprieve today after setting new record lows for each of the past 4 trading sessions.
However, not all is well at Gannett because less than 1 hour ago they announced a new wave of job cuts which are to begin by year's end. This latest announcement comes on the heals of their previous layoff of some 1,100 jobs this past summer. Even after these layoffs their net income revenues fell to $158 million from $234 million a year ago or declined 32.5 percent or $76.05 million.

More Info On The Crime Task Force
While the head of the Task Force doesn't even live in the City of Salisbury, Ed is in upper management at SU. Ryan Ewalt is a young man that can also reach out to the Students at SU, come election time. The Chief of the SU Police is also on the Task Force, hmmmmmmm? Then you've got the Chiefy of the SPD on it as well as another 3rd floor person from the SPD. More hmmmmmmm.
Now, when "I" went to these meetings I could clearly see Debbie Campbell was in a far better position to be in charge of this Task Force but like everything else, this Mayor doesn't want Debbie in charge of anything. So, what does Debbie Campbell do? She does what she does best and she went to work. By the second meeting I sat there while literally EVERYONE sat in awe as Debbie presented her work. I listened to Ryan Ewalt say, well, how can anyone top that! He didn't have anything concrete to present from his group, nor did anyone else. It was Debbie Campbell's subcommittee that did EVERYTHING.
Now, all of a sudden, while everyone was outdone by Debbie Campbell's group, the Mayor got involved and changed the entire game around. You see, the Mayor insisted that Shanie, Ryan and Chief Webster now leave their subcommittee and ask to be put on Debbie Campbell's subcommittee. So the following meeting Ed clearly stated that IF anyone wanted to join another group they were welcome to do so. ARE YOU GETTING THE ELECTION PICTURE HERE?????? So you know, Shanie has yet to show up for another meeting ever since she too left her group and joined Debbie's.
Now, at the beginning of this weeks meeting, Ryan Ewalt asked that the SPD be incorporated in these reports, yet the SPD, (no disrespect) has done NOTHING for this subcommittee. He also asked that the Website that Debbie had created through a gentleman in Baltimore be immediately removed as it was offensive. NO RYAN, it's NOT at all offensive, it's FACTUAL. As a matter of fact Folks, you have yet to see this report/website and I strongly encourage you to go to it right now and see for yourself just how much hard work Mrs. Campbell put into this project, but remember, none of the others have presented anything concrete. That is, unless you want to listen to ed pontificate on, "What is crime." GO HERE to see the Website and learn about the crime in your community.
The Crime Task Force is nothing short of an ELECTION PLOY and there's no question Mayor Tilghman, (IMO) is planning to run again for Mayor. She's like the old bookkeeper that just won't retire.
Business Owners in Salisbury quite frankly have had enough of the crime in Salisbury and they're demanding something be done about it. The SPD, (lead by Chief Webster) is obviously keeping Press Releases out of our view because it's an election year.
The link above clearly shows just how bad things are in Salisbury and to be perfectly frank, they never expected Debbie Campbell to produce such results. The fact that they ALL jumped ship from their own subcommittees and the absolute JOKE of an article in the Daily Times, ALSO NOT OFFERING YOU A LINK TO THIS NEW WEBSITE clearly shows they're once again backing the Mayor and trying to make it look like Ryan Ewalt is doing all the work. I mean, did YOU see the article in today's paper about the Task Force Meeting? Did YOU get the feeling that Debbie was doing ALL of this work, or did you get the impression Ryan was doing it?
Once again, I have friends who work at the Daily Times who ask me, why do you continue to call us the Tilghman Times. HELLO! The entire group OUTSIDE the original subcommittee lead by Debbie are simply riding her shirt tail and as someone who has been to most of these meetings, I know this to be a fact.
Hell, even Chief Webster couldn't produce these results and Debbie isn't even in that business! I should add, the Website Debbie has produced is FREE to the City. Right now the City is paying $10.00 a month for their version of this information, (which I never knew existed) and they could drop that $10.00 a month and perhaps pay for the Baltimore Sun the Chiefy must get daily and YOU taxpayers are paying for.
Ryan Ewalt hasn't done a thing for this group and I have seen that first hand. It's MY belief he is simply another puppet for Comegys and Mayor Tilghman.
Come November 4th, the Daily Times will be a has been Newspaper and quite frankly they should be ashamed of themselves. They threw in a new reporter into the last meeting, simply so Joe Carmean could edit the entire article, (like he's done so many other times with new reporters) and produce yet another Tilghman agenda. You're going to fail because YOU are being exposed. Salisbury News is a necessity to this community because it not only tells the other side, it tells the truth about what is truly going on around here.
UPDATE: The SPD has NOT updated their Press Releases and has only provided ONE Press Release with only three criminal activities on that release in the past 10 DAYS!

If a retaining wall is owned by the property owner and the property owner removes it, why should YOU the Taxpayer be paying THOUSANDS of dollars to replace?
IF the retaining wall was owned by the City and the property owner removed it, why isn't the property owner paying to replace it instead of YOU?
No matter how you look at this one, the Mayor, Comegys and Smith are screwing you over simply because this property owner allows them to place their Campaign Signs on this property for exposure.
I'm sorry, do YOU rec all why Barrie Tilghman was suing me? It was because I stated that there were FOB's getting favors in the City of Salisbury. Care to explain this one Barrie?
"Paul D's Taxi Sucks!" Continued
"Wow!!! I never knew this website existed until this morning. I have received 3 phone calls telling me to take a look.
I can say for a fact that the police have done their job. Mr. Dunford contacted me this morning to blame me for being arrested last night for driving on a suspended license. Why did he call me.....because I am the mother of the children that he owes over $7,000 to for back child support. He has paid $15.00 in 14 months, that is why his license is suspended in the first place.
With the economy the way it is, I thank the police department for giving me and my children a little justice."

Kratovil Gas Station Now 9 Cents More Per Gallon
I went to Sam's Club this morning to gas up and as I was driving back to Downtown I came across that Kratovil Gas Station near the Mall and couldn't believe my own eyes. Some people never learn, I guess.
Local Crime
A friend of mine owns a 400+ acre Farm not far from where I live. If you knew their entire life story and just how difficult times have been on this individual, you'd not only be extremely proud of this person, you'd wish the rest of America worked as hard as this person does.
That being said, one of our neighbors took it upon themselves to take their 4-wheelers onto this Farm and rise through this crop field and destroyed the majority of what's there.
It's not like someone drove 10 miles or even 5 miles down paved roads to get to this particular field, we know who more than likely did this and the Police, (Sheriff's Department) is investigating it. Sadly, however, our neighbors all know the struggle it takes today to survive on a Farm.
So to you, our neighbor, you're a piece of sh!t. You're a scumbag and I'd like to see your sorry a$$ show up anywhere on my property because the end result would NOT be the same. That's a great example you're setting for your kids too.
The damage came to around $1,500.00. Do you even have a clue what $1,500.00 means to a Farmer these days? Their electric bill alone last month on this Farm was $1,400.00! The cowards did this damage late at night.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
How is it that a cartoonist can put so much into such a small space?? I don't know, but it's sure true, that "A Picture IS Worth A Thousand Words".
Crime Task Force Raises Important Question
At Yesterdays meeting of the Crime Task Force an important question was raised by Lt. Daniel Nelson of the Maryland State Police.."Why only 3 months to study crime" He recommended to the task force an ongoing effort to fight crime and not limit it to the 90 days that the mayor recommended for the study. I think all readers are well aware of why this has been limited in time, because an election is coming up in spring. Through the hard work of Debbie Campbell's subcommittee a joint trip to Dover to study why crime is so much lower when our populations are so similar was announced, she also got a company called spotcrime.com to do a free mapping of local crime ..which would save the city the money they pay for the service currently. Mary Ahanti head of the Wicomico County NAACP also had some great ideas on several town hall type meetings in November with various communities represented. While a report was passed out from SPD that claimed crime was down compared to last year, the headlines in the paper and the people in the streets feel differently.
update:
The Daily Times article this morning has completely made this venture look like Ryan Ewalts Initiative. The fact was Debbie Campbells Subcommittee did so much work the first few weeks by hitting the streets making a website and actually accomplishing goals like the holiday initiative that Ryan asked to join her task force as he had done nothing. The quote about the 3 months came from as i stated Lt Nelson of MSP. Its these misrepresentations of facts by the daily times that have so many people cancelling their subscriptions.

Headline Bloopers
I love headline bloopers. We see them nearly every day in our local newspapers. I often wonder if they really do pay a proof reader.

45 Life Lessons
This was written by a guy named Brett who writes columns for The Plain Dealer, a newspaper in Cleveland, Ohio.
To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolls over to 70 in August, so here goes:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don 't worry; Go d never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, tim e.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift

"Classified Ad Success! Thank You!"
"Hi Joe!
I just wanted to Thank You for adding the Classifieds section to your site!
You posted a dog crate for me on 10-17 that I was selling, and it sold on 10-22!
Best of all, I would have probably had to pay $20 at least for an ad in the Daily Times for it, and you did it for free -- I appreciate you and all you do!!
Take care,
Nicole"

Paul D's Taxi Sucks!
"Joe,
Recently I was cut off by a "taxi" in Salisbury on Salisbury Parkway. After I read the name on the side of the vehicle I called their listed number. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone said he was the owner and said he was driving the vehicle at the time and he said next time to "move out of the way".
So I called the Salisbury Police Department, there wasn't much they could do after the point. So I did some research. It turns out the owner of the taxi service is Paul Douglas Dunford. The taxi service is called "Paul D's Taxi," it services Salisbury. The owner and sole operator of Paul D's Taxi is operating a with a suspended driver's license.
I've called the Wicomico County Sheriffs Department and the Salisbury Police Department to tell them of my findings, both agencies said there wasn't anything they could do. Now mind you to get a Taxi license you have to go through the Sheriff's Department.
I would like you to advice your readers that if you see a greenish colored van with the letters Paul D's taxi on the side of it to call the Salisbury Police Department, Wicomico County Sheriff's Department, or 911."
Obviously if someone goes through all of this trouble, this guy was out of line. Hopefully the Sheriff's Office does something about it.
Recently I was cut off by a "taxi" in Salisbury on Salisbury Parkway. After I read the name on the side of the vehicle I called their listed number. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone said he was the owner and said he was driving the vehicle at the time and he said next time to "move out of the way".
So I called the Salisbury Police Department, there wasn't much they could do after the point. So I did some research. It turns out the owner of the taxi service is Paul Douglas Dunford. The taxi service is called "Paul D's Taxi," it services Salisbury. The owner and sole operator of Paul D's Taxi is operating a with a suspended driver's license.

TAXICAB DRIVER PAUL DUNFORD ARRESTED!!!!
"Joe,
Thanks so much for posting that information. I'll have you know that I was very pissed by being cut off. After my investigation I found that he mostly drove at night, so last night I drove myself around Salisbury, on Sam's Club gas of course, and within an hour what did I find? I found Paul D's Taxi driven by Paul Dunford himself. I called the Salisbury Police Department and a few minutes later he was arrested (but you'll never see the press release).
I am sure that he will attempt to drive again and I will make sure if/when it happens he will be arrested.
After he was arrested and in the police car I talked to the arresting officer to commend him for respond so quickly, he stated that Paul Dunford's driving privileges were suspended due to him refusing to pay child support, he said that Paul Dunford relayed to him that he had an 11 year old son and 8 year old daughter who he has abandoned.
PAUL DUNFORD IS A DEAD BEAT DAD!"

Volunteer Disfigured Because of Support for McCain
Is this what America has come to? John McCain has been pilloried in the MSM for remarks supposedly made by some supporters at rallies. Barack Obama has publicly called on his supporters to "get in their face":
Ashley Todd, a 20 year old McCain volunteer from Texas was viciously attacked in Pittsburgh. While the initial attack was simple robbery, the Obama thug became incensed at the McCain bumper sticker on her car:

I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.Well, at least one Obama-supporting thug has taken the "ONE" a little too seriously.
Ashley Todd, a 20 year old McCain volunteer from Texas was viciously attacked in Pittsburgh. While the initial attack was simple robbery, the Obama thug became incensed at the McCain bumper sticker on her car:
Todd handed the man $60 she had in her pocket and stepped away from him, investigators said. The man then noticed the bumper sticker on the woman's car, which was parked in front of the ATM. The man became very angry, made comments to Todd about John McCain and punched her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, police said.I wonder what the "B" stands for?
"He continued to kick and punch her repeatedly and said he would teach her a lesson for supporting John McCain," said police Chief Nate Harper.
The man then carved the "B" into Todd's right cheek.

Question of the Day, Fri 10/24
Thought to ponder today:
-Why do we put a towel in the dirty clothes basket once you dry off from taking a shower...isn't it clean?
-Where do people in hell tell other people to go?
-Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
-Why are the numbers on a phone and a calculator reversed? (oooh it drives my bonkers!)
-Why is it called "getting fixed" if afterwards it doesn't work anymore?
-When you own a piece of land, do you own all the way to the center of Earth?

Today's Comercialized Daily Slime
Oh wait till you get the Daily Slime today. The very first section of the paper is totally loaded with sale ads. I'm taking 5 full pages out of the first 10 pages. It's unbelievable!
WMDT says, "More News In Less Time." The Daily Slime should say, "Less News In More Space." Could you imagine our posting on this Blog where 50% of everything on here was ad space?
I read the article on the Crime Task Force meeting and again, people wonder why they are called the Tilghman Times? Let me assure you, the Mayor is working with the Daily Times to push Ryan Ewalt into a household name because you know what Ladies & Gentlemen, Debbie Campbell is doing ALL of the work for that Task Force and Ryan is riding the wave and instead of mentioning all the fantastic work Debbie is doing, all you read about is Ryan Ewalt.
We're not stupid Daily Slime and Mayor Tilghman. Not only has this Blog arrived, we're out doing your numbers and our audience is listening. Wait till Grinch puts up his article about yesterdays meeting. Then you'll see what REALLY happened and what was really said.
November 4th is just around the corner Daily Times.

County Commissioners Create Department Of Emergency Services
On July 29, 2008, the County Commissioners of Caroline County announced the creation of the Department of Emergency Services by adopting Resolution #2008-023. The new Department will consolidate all emergency services delivered by the County into one department by combining the former Departments of Emergency Management and Emergency Medical Services.
"By combining these related departments, administrative efficiency will be improved. That ultimately translates to better quality services delivered more efficiently to the residents of Caroline County," said Jack Cole, President of the County Commissioners.
Bryan C. Ebling was appointed by the Commissioners to serve as the Director of the new Department. Mr. Ebling was the Director of the former Department of Emergency Management, and has been a County employee for 29 years. He is also a member of the Ridgely Volunteer Fire Department, and is a licensed paramedic.
"Bryan's vast experience with emergency management, volunteer fire companies, and emergency medical service make him a natural fit for this position. He has also has served the County for a long time and is an accomplished manager of both people and projects," said County Commission Vice President Roger Layton.
The Department of Emergency Services will have three divisions: the Division of Emergency Planning and Risk Management, the Division of Emergency Communications, and the Division of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Each Division will be overseen by an Assistant Director, each of which will be classified employees reporting to the Director. Cindy Towers has been named the Assistant Director for the Division of Emergency Planning and Risk Management and Kevin Gillespie has been named the Assistant Director for the Division of Emergency Medical Services. The position of Assistant Director for the Communications Division has not yet been filled. The equivalent position in place before the restructuring has been vacant since the passing of Curtis Harvey.
The Department of Emergency Services will be responsible for coordinating all emergency services for the County, including the County's disaster preparedness program, emergency communications system, and risk management program. Also among the Department's duties will be the provision of emergency medical services and the operation of emergency related services, including the coordination of volunteer fire suppression, rescue and EMS services.
"Obviously this is a change, but we are confident it is a positive one," said County Commissioner Jeff Ghrist. "Good government requires reevaluating the way services are provided and seizing opportunities to streamline administratively. Ultimately, it's about providing the best services possible to the people of Caroline County, in the most efficient manner."

Leave It To A Marine
Mr. Albero,
This is a great story about An Old Man, for your perusal. The message at the end is what it's all about.
Pat
As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of
groceries towards my car, I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside the car, with the door open.
The old man was looking at the engine. I put my groceries away in my car and continued to watch the old gentleman from about twenty five feet away.
I saw a young man in his early twenties with a grocery bag in his arm,
walking towards the old man. The old gentleman saw him coming too and took a few steps towards him. I saw the old gentleman point to his open hood and say something.
The young man put his grocery bag into what looked like a brand new
Cadillac Escalade and then turn back to the old man and I heard him yell at the old gentleman saying, 'You shouldn't even be allowed to drive a car at your age.' And then with a wave of his hand, he got in his car and peeled rubber out of the parking lot.
I saw the old gentleman pull out his handkerchief and mop his brow as he went back to his car and again looked at the engine. He then went to his wife and spoke wit h her and appeared to tell her it would be okay. I had seen enough and I approached the old man. He saw me coming and stood straight and as I got near him I said, 'Looks like you're having a problem.'
He smiled sheepishly and quietly nodded his head. I looked under the hood myself and knew that whatever the problem was, it was beyond me. Looking around I saw a gas station up the road and told the old man that I would be right back. I drove to the station and went inside and saw three attendants working on cars. I approached one of them and related the problem the old man had with his car and offered to pay them if they could follow me back down and help him.
The old man had pushed the heavy car under the shade of a tree and appeared to be comforting his wife. When he saw us he straightened up and thanked me for my help. As the mechanics diagnosed the problem (overheated engine) I spoke with the old gentleman.
When I shook hands with him earlier he had noticed my Marine Corps ring and had commented about it, telling me that he had been a Marine too. I nodded and asked the usual question, 'What outfit did you serve with?'
He had mentioned that he served with the first Marine Division at Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. He had hit all the big ones and retired from the Corps after the war was over. As we talked we heard the car engine come on and saw the mechanics lower the hood. They came over to us as the old man reached for his wallet, but was stopped by me and I told him I would just put the bill on my AAA card.
He still reached for the wallet and handed me a card that I assumed had his name and address on it and I stuck it in my pocket. We all shook hands again and I said my goodbye's to his wife.
I then told the two mechanics that I would follow them back up to the
station. Once at the station I told them that they had interrupted their own jobs to come along with me and help the old man. I said I wanted to pay for the help, but they refused to charge me. One of them pulled out a card from his pocket looking exactly like the card the old man had given to me. Both of the men told me then, that they were Marine Corps Reserves. Once again we shook hands all around and as I was leaving, one of them told me I should look at the card the old man had given to me. I said I would and drove off.
For some reason I had gone about two blocks when I pulled over and took the card out of my pocket and looked at it for a long, long time. The name of the old gentleman was on the card in golden leaf and under his name........ 'Congressional Medal of Honor Society.'
I sat there motionless looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together, because one of us needed help. He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage and an honor to have been in his presence.
