Bank Robber Arrested
Wilmington- Earlier today, detectives from the Delaware State Police Robbery Squad arrested Mr. Frank Mercadante, 49, of Valley Run Drive in Wilmington.
He was identified as the TD Bank Robber from Presidents Day. Investigators received a tip as to his identity after a citizen recognized Mercadante in surveillance pictures which were disseminated by the State Police and shown by the media.
Detectives learned that Mercadante utilized women’s make-up to give himself a make shift beard in an attempt to hide his identity in the caper.
Frank Mercadante was formally charged today with Robbery 1st. Bail information was not available at the time of this release.
Daily Times FINALLY Got Around To Louella Cane's Passing
HEBRON -- Lower Shore educators and acquaintances remembered Louella Verna Fitchett Cane, a teacher for 36 years and a devoted wife who annually went to Annapolis during sessions of the General Assembly to be with her husband, Rudolph, a Democratic member of the House of Delegates for Wicomico and Dorchester counties.
Louella Cane, who retired as a mathematics teacher at James M. Bennett High School in 1995, died Tuesday at the couple's Hebron home following a short illness. She was 71.

I know it's two days late but you know how it's more difficult for them to interview, confirm and have their legal team make sure whatever they say is accurate and then double check their sources.

Jesse Jackson's Newest Staff Member
Mel Reynolds
Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat Congressman Mel Reynolds to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud, and lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer.
This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a subordinate...won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate...then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate!
His new job?
Ready for this??

BREAKING NEWS! BUSTER HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
I just received the coolest call from Linda Lugo at the Humane Society. She said, I'm going to start calling you, "Hero Joe" from here on out. I said, why? She replied, Buster was just adopted! A wonderful Lady came in on her lunch break today and said, I saw a dog on Salisbury News this morning and I'd like to take a look at him please. Linda came out and they showed her this beautiful animal. She said, Joe was right, this dog does have really soft hair.She then got on her cell phone and called her Husband who immediately left work and came over to see Buster as well. The Couple immediately fell in love with Buster and adopted him on the spot. While they were filling out their paperwork, Linda's Dentist came in and said, Linda, I'd like to see that Lab Joe Albero has on Salisbury News. Linda replied, I'd be happy to show him to you but this couple just adopted him. He was VERY pleased to see Buster was going to a great home and proceeded in to take a look at whatever else they had left in their inventory.
Buster will have the rest of his shots today and will be micro chipped and will be heading home with this Couple THIS EVENING! My God, it just doesn't get any better than this Folks. I can't thank ALL of you enough for visiting Salisbury News and coming to the rescue of these wonderful animals. May God Bless You ALL.
By the way Linda, who's your Dentist? I'd like to give him some business right away.
The Daily Times Does It Again!

The Article:
Ireton, Comegys raise most funds
By Laura D'Alessandro • Staff Writer • February 26, 2009
SALISBURY -- The campaign contribution reports are in, and mayoral candidate Jim Ireton has reported the most funds raised thus far at about $7,000, with Gary Comegys the closest behind with more than $4,000.
Candidate Bob Caldwell, who reported $875, came in third, and Michael Della Penna reported $0 in contributions.
"I put it out there for people to make contributions," Della Penna said. "I guess people just don't like me."
He said his expenditures have so far been a little more than $500 out of his own pocket and he plans to invest more if he makes it through the primary, from which he said he does not intend to withdraw.
"I have heard people saying I should just back out, that all I'm doing is hurting the rest of the candidates," he said. "But I'm not going to do that."
Caldwell and Comegys turned in short lists of mostly large donors compared to Ireton's list of more than 100 people. Ireton has also spent the most so far on his campaign.
While candidates still spend the typical majority of their money on signs, brochures or mailings, candidates are now showing an investment in the Internet.
Candidates are required to report their contributions again March 31 and give a final report May 21. The primary election is Tuesday. The general election is April 7.

Mayor Barrie Tilghman Shuts Down SBYNews.com Again!
Mayor Tilghman and Chief See have blocked Salisbury News from the Salisbury Fire Department AGAIN! ROTFLMAO! Haven't these two fools learned anything yet? This will in fact increase the volume of hits Salisbury News already gets.
I'm told the Mayor ORDERED this and I'm confident I'll be hearing more about her cutting us off at the GOB and every other location throughout the City. It seems our Post this morning proving the new BIG RED was in fact cruising through red lights AND getting stuck at the Draw Bridge was just too much evidence for them to handle.
And who's totally connected with the Fire Department, Gary Comegys! Here we go again Folks. Last Monday night just before the City Council Meeting started I was standing out in the hallway and out of nowhere Louise Smith came up to me and said, Joe, I need you to come into the room and sit down in a chair. I can't have you leaning up against the table and moving around. Sound familiar Folks? I said, Louise, you're starting to sound just like Mike Dunn. Are you telling me I can't take pictures? She said, no, I just need you to sit down.
I respected her wishes, as I always do. However, you taxpayers better realize what you'll be up against for the next 4 years should you vote Comegys in for Mayor. Cover it up and don't communicate with anyone. Like I said, when will they learn.
In the words of Barrie Tilghman, "The Blogs are of no consequence to me." Oooooooh Really now?
COMEGYS’ CONTRIBUTIONS AND DONORS TELL YOU A LOT
The following is believed to correctly state information reported to Board of Elections in Comegy’s recent disclosure document regarding his donors to his campaign to become Salisbury’s bext mayor:
Gamee Elliott, Salisbury, $250.
Lynn Cathcart, Salisbury, $250.
Don Cathcart, Salisbury, $250.
Elizabeth Becker, Salisbury, $250.
Thomas Becker, Salisbury, $250.
Philip Tilghman, Salisbury, $250.
King Burnett, Salisbury, $100.
Gordon Gladden, Salisbury, $100.
Thomas J. Maloney, Salisbury, $250.
Regina McNeill, Nanticoke, $50.
Loretta Caccodrilli, Salisbury, $50.
Lana Jarrett, Salisbury, $250.
M.W. Tilghman Jr., Salisbury, $250.
Barrie Tilghman, Salisbury, $250.
F.M. Young, Salisbury, $200.
Robert Gladden, Salisbury, $35.
Gary Fretz, Salisbury, $100.
William Gore Sr., Salisbury, $50.
Raymond Weiss, Salisbury, $100.
Adam Becker, Salisbury, $250.
Kuhn's Jewelers, Salisbury, $250.
Don Richardson, Salisbury, $250.
Many of these persons should be known to many readers of this blog. A few of the lesser known:
King Burnett – law partner of the City attorney, Paul Wilber
Phillip Tilghman – former member of the Wicomico County Council; deeply involved in the PAC 14 reorganization scheme
T. J. Maloney – local attorney and rooming house landlord
M. W. Tilghman Jr. – Barrie Tilghman’s spouse
Robert Gladden – former member of City Council who at that time was a rental landlord and helped block rental regulation sponsored by Bob Caldwell and others.
This data indicates that much of Comegys’ funds are from large dollar donors with vested interests – the average donation is almost $200, and most are at the legal maximum amount.
By contrast, Bob Caldwell reported 11 donations that total $875, or an average of about $80 each; Jim Ireton had by for the most donors (100) and has reported that the average one is about $64, for a total of more than $7,000.
Both Ireton and Comegys have spent much more than Caldwell.
Mike Della Penna says his contributions total about $50.

From The New York Post: FIREMAN IN FED POT BUST
"A New York City firefighter was hauled into federal court yesterday for allegedly growing 100 pot plants worth more than $500,000 in a Queens basement. Patrick Murray, 34, is charged with supplying the pricey hydroponic marijuana to a drug-trafficking ring that has been under investigation by the feds for a year. Authorities arrested Murray on Tuesday night after an anonymous tipster saw him hauling lights used to grow pot out of the Queens Village house, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn federal court. Tenants in the building complained that the basement reeked of marijuana. Cops found Murray - a five-year FDNY veteran with two citations for heroism - sitting in a U-Haul truck parked out front. He was released on $250,000 bail, and has been suspended from his job at Engine Co. 292 in Woodside. A law-enforcement source said a second firefighter is also under investigation." http://www.nypost.com

Some Wicomico County Schools In Lockdown
I have been receiving several messages that Mardela High and other schools are in Code Orange lock down. Every attempt I have made to get answers have failed but I'll keep trying and let you know what's up just as soon as I can.
UPDATE: I am told that ALL Schools are going through a planned canine sweep of all of the schools to search for drugs in lockers.

The New Fire Truck Follow Up
Joe,
Attached are the fire truck pictures that I took yesterday afternoon. As I said, I took them around 2:00-2:30 with a camera phone so they're pretty grainy-gotta love that 1.3 megapixel quality. I took a couple of the truck stuck at the bridge, which I think is a major issue. The fire department really needs to work out some kind of schedule with the operation of the bridge and/or some sort of communication to let them know when it is up (they may already have this though) so that emergency response is not hindered. I also got one snapped of it approaching a yellow light, unfortunately I did get it on red, but then again, I wasn't really trying to catch them running the light-I just happened to snap the picture at the right time when the light was yellow-I stopped in plenty of time and they should have too.
My intention here is not to be a jerk about things. I, personally, get really irritated when those who are supposed to protect us, such as Firemen and Police officers, use their status/priviledges and put us in harm's way. Running red lights is a major safety issue and I have first hand experience as a victim. I joked on the blog about the truck scooting around town and hitting a couple curbs, but in all honesty, the driver did indeed whip that thing around better than I thought it could despite its size. I still think the price tag is unreasonable though! Let's just pray that they don't drop the dime on that boat!
I would also like to thank you for all your hard work in keeping your blog up and informing us as well as you do. Moreover, thank you for giving the citizens of Salisbury a voice. I know I speak for many when I say that we appreciate you and hope that the blog continues to thrive as it has.
Thank you,
Dave C

Campaign Financial Reports
You asked that we post a list of campaign contributors when available, here they are.
You will notice Jim Ireton is supported by the everyday, concerned citizen and a few local politicos. However, Comegys financial report reads like a list of special interest groups. Same old, same old, nothing new. Just like his tenure as mayor would be if we were unfortunate enough to have him elected to this position. Bob Caldwell is off to a slow start. I'm confident he'll gain more support as time goes on. Hang in there Bob, you are a good man. Mike Della Penna, it is sad to say has nothing to declare. Has Mr. Della Penna done any campaigning, other than speaking at forums or fundraising?
JIM IRETON

GARY COMEGYS
For more info on Gary Comegys, click here Gary Comegys
Don't be fooled by this short list. Richard Insley, Mike Dunn and Bill Gordy didn't gain their wealth by being stupid. If Gary Comegys should make it through the primary they'll make sure his war chest is loaded. Even if Gary doesn't make it through the primary you can expect this to be the nastiest campaign to be held since Barrie Tilghman vs Duke Shannahan.
BOB CALDWELL
Bob is a good man and has worked hard for the citizens. Bob lead the tax referendum petition recently and was nearly successful in stopping Gary Comegys 14% tax increase. When Bob makes it through the primary and he is the man you support, please show your support via campaign contributions and volunteerism.

Dead Horse Found Off Mt. Olive Church Road
A while back ago I received a call telling me about a dead horse that had allegedly been shot. The word on the street was that the horse was lead by a pickup truck and then they got to a certain point on the road they opened the window and simply shot the horse.I shared this information with the Humane Society and they immediately got in their vehicles and went to go look for it. We had heard the horse was not far from the R&B Ranch but the original road we had been informed about wasn't the right road so the Humane Society came up with nothing. They then contacted DNR and no one seemed to know anything about it.
Well, time had passed and all of a sudden I got another call on the same horse but this time there was a little more detail and it included one of the Agents names from DNR. I once again contacted Linda Lugo and this time I gave her a name and the radar went up immediately. Not knowing what to expect, Linda called me back and informed me that although she hadn't heard of this Agents name before, when she called them back and asked for this particular Agent, all of a sudden they knew exactly what she was talking about.
The Agent went into detail about the location and the fact that on the first day of hunting season a hunter from Baltimore called DNR and informed them a horse was dead on the side of the road. They went to inspect it and the horse was allegedly too decomposed to determine how it had died. I asked Linda if it had been shot in the head, (like I had been told) and she said the Agent said he hadn't seen any sign of such.
OK, here's my problem Folks. A horse just doesn't go missing. A few months ago two of our horses got out of their pasture and we did everything possible to locate them and return them to our property. If they were missing for 10 hours, we would have been on the phone with every Agency out there looking for help. There has been no such call in that area for a missing horse. My guess is, the first tip I received was accurate. The Eastern Shore never ceases to amaze me. People will do things like this, take a horse to the end of a road or a dog or a cat and simply shoot it and leave it for the County to discard the remains. It's not an easy task burying an animal the size of a horse and some sick SOB more than likely did exactly that and killed it.
So here's what I'd like to know. Have you ever heard of anyone pulling something like this before? Do you know more details about this particular story? I ask because I have two sources who seem to be in the know but are afraid to say anything more in fear of retaliation. Let's see where the comments go on this one.
LADIES, Don't Go To Jail, PERIOD!
In an interesting conversation I had last night with a dear friend, I came to learn of something none of you are aware of.
Did YOU know that the Warden at the WCDC asked the County Council to approve giving out ANY Tampons to women incarcerated?
That's right, they cut it out of their budget and unless you can afford to pay for them, you're out of luck!
Some have said they are concerned as to what favors might be given just to get their hand on a Tampon? I personally find this sick and will be contacting our Delegates, Senators and Congressmen.
Did YOU know that the Warden at the WCDC asked the County Council to approve giving out ANY Tampons to women incarcerated?

Truer Words Never Spoken
There are two kinds of people in the electorate:
1. People who remember how horrible the Jimmy Carter years were , and
2. People who are about to find out.

Another Fine Message From Linda Lugo @ Humane Society
While most of the news was good, let me start with the bad news. "Buster," (above) is a 2 year old Lab. He's neutered and also was an indoor pet to someone here in Wicomico County. Nevertheless, no one has come in to claim him. We shared his picture here a few days ago and while every other dog was adopted, Buster is still at the Humane Society and waiting for a home. Because he's so scared of being in the general dog population and because he's such a wonderful animal, Linda has been letting him roam in the Office area with all the Staff. Linda said his hair is very soft, meaning he's been an indoor pet and he's just so friendly, she really wants to find a home for him. If you're looking for an indoor pet, Buster is your best bet. Folks, he really hates being at the Humane Society and he really loves people. Think about him, if you would.On a better note, I asked Linda how things were going there and she replied, Joe, we've never been so busy. She said the "adoptions have been off the charts." As an example. On Wednesday they sent home two dogs and they'll send home another 15 this week alone. She also informed me that 10 cats went out so far this week as well.
Statistic wise, here are some numbers I thought you might find fascinating. Out of 400 Dogs that arrive as strays, only 22 of them are reunited with their owners. "People just aren't calling the Humane Society to see if they have their animal." With the economy like it is, more and more cats and dogs are showing up and thank God many of the people reading this Bog are opening their hearts and homes for many of these fine animals.
If you have a friend, neighbor, co-worker, family member, whatever, and you have heard they lost their pet, please encourage them to contact the Wicomico Humane Society. Don't forget BUSTER! I would LOVE to get a call from Linda today telling me she found a perfect home for this guy. They have really become attached to this guy but policy is policy and they must find him a good home.
Cost At United Propane?
"Who would we contact about the costs of propane? The entire country is trying to conserve energy If you are under contract with United Propane you pay whatever they want to charge you. Because we only get 100 gallons at a time they were going to charge us $8.15 gal, I got the manager down to 4.80. This time because I questioned him we paid $3.30. Which is still over what it should be. Isn't there a regulation on this like gas prices?"
Reward For Reporting Dog Fighting, Your Name Is Protected
Joe , I have just returned from Sheriff Mike Lewis office after delivering posters we obtained from the ASPCA . While on their website I discovered they were offering a $5,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest & conviction of dogfighters. The person reporting this crimes name is protected!!!!( A very,very important issue here, since most will not report out of fear of their name being disclosed )
These posters are FREE and all one has to do is contact: The Humane S. of the U.S.--2100 L. St. NW--Washington, DC 20037 or phone 202-452-1100x3300 & ask for the free posters to be sent to them so they may help distribute them .
I would love to see this community reach out to help the Sheriffs Dept. by ordering posters themselves, & going around to various businesses to post them . While speaking with Mike, we were told to look at various poles, should one post them there, to observe seeing if posters had been ripped out, as this indicates it would not be a good place to post them.
I can only sing praises for what Sheriff Lewis & his men are doing to protect our community. With crime on the rise, we the people need to help in any way we can to offer support to these men. Men who put their life on the line each & every day to make Salisbury a safer place to live & whose crime rate is definately on the rise!!
Remembering, it is a proven fact, people who start by harming animals go on to much more violent crimes. We in this County need to demand stronger punishment for those who do so!!! Dogfighting, gambling, drugs & crime are all strongly connected!!!
Joe, I ask for your input here to your readers for their support to get these posters ordered & out there!!!
Thanks so much & I know Sheriff Lewis & his men will greatly appreciate the public support!

The Attorney Generals Office Will Step In To Investigate Sheriff Bobby Jones
It has been confirmed that the Maryland Attorney Generals Office will step in and investigate Sheriff Bobby Jones allegedly hitting Donna Pusey twice with County vehicle. I told you this thing wasn't anywhere close to being over. The Attorney Generals Office doesn't just step in on any BS case.Quite frankly, once I contacted the States Attorney's Office last week and shared what had just happened with the 2nd Judge on this case telling Mrs. Pusey she had to turn over witnesses, they started contacting the Attorney Generals Office right then and there. In fact, I learned yesterday that the Wicomico County States Attorney's Office AND the Somerset County States Attorney's Office had NOT received a call back in almost a week. They got their answer today though and things will now start working the way it's supposed to.
More to come...............
