"Monday evening.
Joe, a small terrior type dog has roamed our bk yd since Sunday. My husband was able to entice him with food this evening & able to bring him in the house. The dog looks extremely under weight, all ribs showing, & appears to weigh around 10 lbs. He wears a flea collar & a regular collar, however no means of ID . I looked in the paper
tonight for missing dogs & none were listed as to his discrip. Would you please post this on your blogg site?
We live in Kaywood Dr., off Mt Hermon Rd. I do not want to give a detailed descrip on your site, as anyone could claim him. I would want them to call me with a description of the dog & how long it has been missing. It is very obvious the dog hasn't been fed in quite a while!!! Pretty little dog, med brn. in color, short haired, male, very friendly, young & full of pep. Our # is 7425692 Name: Jim or Edna Walls I'm thinking sm, the collars & location might be enough. I'll leave that up to you.
(Hit your site everyday & contribute most everyday! I'd personally like to thank you for all the good you have & are doing for the animal. You are a blessing!!!! You can tell where my heart is, I'm sure!!) Thanks for your help!!!) Edna Walls, EW & , Anonymous, most of the time."

CITIZEN CALL LEADS TO THE ARREST OF ‘WANTED’ DELAWARE MAN
On Monday, December 15, 2008, at approximately 2:00 a.m. the Ocean City Police Department received a call regarding suspicious activity in the area of Caine Stable Road, near 141^st Street. The caller, a concerned citizen, complained that a mini-van had circled the neighborhood several times and that one of the occupants of the mini-van had exited the vehicle and was acting suspiciously. The citizen indicated that the suspicious activity included one vehicle occupant looking into windows of parked vehicles.
Ocean City Police officers located the vehicle and followed the suspects as they entered the 7-Eleven parking lot on 139^th Street and Coastal Highway. Officers initiated a consensual conversation and determined that the driver was operating the vehicle on a suspended and revoked license.
The OCPD officer attempted to place the driver under arrest for driving on a suspended and revoked license when the driver and one passenger fled on foot. After a brief foot pursuit, the driver of the vehicle returned to the mini-van and fled in the vehicle traveling north on Coastal Highway, towards the state of Delaware.
Ocean City Police officers did not pursue the driver once the driver fled in the vehicle. OCPD immediately contacted Delaware authorities to inform them that the suspect had just fled Ocean City and was possibly heading north bound into Delaware.
Clayton Francis Ricketts, 21-year-old of Georgetown, Delaware, was the second passenger in the vehicle. Ricketts did not flee from police, however it was determined by OCPD that he was wanted for an outstanding warrant in the state of Delaware for robbery. Ricketts was placed under arrest by Ocean City Police for a fugitive warrant.
The third suspect, who was last seen by police in the area of 139^th Street, has not yet been located. The driver of the vehicle was a 21-year-old Delaware resident whose name is not being released due to a single vehicle collision that occurred in Bethany Beach, Delaware following his episode in Ocean City.

... The Tin Lady Retires
Is today's Daily Times editorial a joke? First we're graced with a front page story on Sunday telling us all what we already knew - Salisbury Mayor Barrie Tilghman is not seeking re-election. Councilman Gary Comegys would never have declared for Mayor if she was. But given the banner headline, you would have thought it was VE Day again. Today we have an editorial that portrays Tilghman as the greatest politician in the history of Western civilization.
"She always showed leadership." Yes, if your definition of a leader is the biggest bully on the block then I guess that you could define Barrie Tilghman as a leader.
"Throwing the old boy network on its head." I guess that depends on WHO you define as the "old boy network". From shady real estate deals (Fruitland Wal-Mart, Sassafras Meadows and the Fire HQ) to massive taxpayer subsidies for chosen developers (the old mall, the NE Collector Road, and AGAIN, Sassafras Meadows) Tilghman has been front and center providing for HER "old boy network".
Selective memory, or brazen prejudice, may account for SOME of the ridiculous notions printed today. However, that does not excuse the outright lies also included:
As for our collective motivation, the author again shows their ignorance and their true colors. Barrie Tilghman has never done anything to me. Revenge has nothing to do with the fact that many of us believe that she has been a bad Mayor.
Ironically, the Daily Times accuses certain folk of "attacking" Tilghman but hide from the fact that they have been the primary tool for her vicious, unwarranted, and false attacks against many of those same people - and many others. Who can forget the Daily Times printing outright lies by Tilghman about city council candidate Tim Spies. This is but one example of the most potent weapon of the unholy marriage of Tilghman and the paper - wrap it in quotation marks and take no responsibility for printing false information. Her attacks against us "dirty rotten bloggers" only ceased because her own son happens to be one of us (and a damned good, if liberal, one I might add).
There is no question that she can claim many accomplishments. Unfortunately, too many of those accomplishments have been bad policy for Salisbury and her taxpayers and residents. I do commend her for good political instincts, including her realization that her time is over. However, to compare a tin horn, wannabe dictator to one of the greatest leaders of my lifetime (Margaret Thatcher) is insulting. It's just one more example of the Daily Times playing Monica Lewinsky to Barrie Tilghman's Bill Clinton.

There were the public attacks and bitter incriminations courtesy ofWhile Reddish, and Delmarva Dealings can rightfully be charged with attacking Tilghman (but I will always argue that they were justified, accurate attacks), to paint the others with such a broad brush is borderline libelous. Unless the author believes, like Tilghman, that ANY criticism is an "attack" this simply isn't so. The implication that a genuinely wonderful woman such as Linda Kent would "attack" anyone is preposterous. It just goes to show what sore losers Barrie Tilghman, and evidently the Daily Times, are. To claim that bloggers have a "borderline personality disorders" is probably libelous. Don't worry Greg and Susan, I'm not planning on suing (I like you too much and it's against my faith). I can't speak for others.
Robert Taylor, Bob Caldwell, Linda Kent, Carolyn Hall, Jim Ireton, Bill
Reddish and (of course) assorted Web loggers motivated by revenge or
borderline personality disorders.

A Gun History Lesson
Note: I do not know if all of these are true. Nonetheless, it's interesting.
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Guatemala established gun control in 1964.. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has change d drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind him of this history lesson.
With Guns.............We Are 'Citizens'.
Without Them........We Are 'Subjects'..
During W.W. II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED !
Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attache to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country.
It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.

Abused Puppies?
Hi Joe,
I am writing you to tell you about a man who is selling Jack Russell puppies in Whaleyville, MD. My mother saw an ad in the guide for JR puppies and she scheduled a time to go and look at them. When she got there she was appalled! The puppies were in a shed that was wet, cold and the doors were held shut with a rake & shovel. There wasn't any bedding, just wet pine needles. The puppies are severely ill. She bought one and immediately took it to her vet. The pup is filled with hook and round worms. The vet informed her that if she didn't bring it in that it would have died. When the puppy goes to the bathroom it is nothing but worms. She is calling the Worcester County Humane Society in the morning to see if they can investigate this man. He has multiple litters and the parent dogs appear to be ill as well. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

On Sunday the Parsonsburg Fire Department rode through all the neighborhoods with lights and sirens going and handing out Candy Canes, towing along Santa in a lawn chair.
Stolen Items
Joe - could you post on your site.
My son's vehicle was broken into on Sunday evening at the Salisbury Animal Hospital on Rt. 50. Unfortunately, he had several items taken, including an iPod given to him for a graduation gift, credit card and a Piggy Bank that was given to me after the death of my father. I would like to plead to the person who took his items to return at least this bank. You can keep the money, but this bank is one of the only things I have of my father's. It would have no value to anyone but has great sentimental value to me. Please contact the Salisbury Police Dept. if found or it can be returned to the Salisbury Animal Hospital. I am offering a reward for its safe return.

A fawn followed this beagle home -- right through the doggie door -- in the Bittinger, MD area. The owner came home to find the visitor had made himself right at home.
