March 18, 2009
My name is Tim Chaney, and I was a candidate in the primary election for the Salisbury City Council District 1 seat. Out of a field of four, I came in a close third – just 17 votes short of making it through the primary.
My thanks go out to each and every person who voted for me and supported me in other ways. I give special thanks to my treasurer, Shirley M. Dashiell, a wonderful woman who has given so much time, energy and talent to the people of Salisbury’s West Side.
Tonight, I come to give my endorsement, along with Shirley’s, to one candidate for the District 1 council seat. Just as important, I want my supporters and all the voters of District 1 to understand the reasons behind this endorsement. Informed voters are empowered voters.
Our endorsement goes to Cynthia May Polk. With all due respect to the incumbent, with whom I consider my relationship cordial, Cynthia Polk offers the people of District 1 the attention and the change they hunger for, a need I myself sought to meet.
I know the people of District 1 are feeling this way because they told me so as I campaigned door to door. They told me it’s why they wanted me to run and why I accepted the challenge.
And I know they feel this way because over two-thirds of the District 1 primary votes were for us challengers, not for the incumbent. Cynthia Polk impressively came within just 5 votes of the incumbent in the primary. These facts show that the people of District 1 are looking for positive change this election.
Before the primary, I had an opportunity to talk with Cynthia Polk and learned she and I had some things in common beyond our love and concern for the people of District 1 and the city as a whole.
Like me, Cynthia Polk is deeply concerned about what crime is doing to our district and to the city. The incumbent said at a city council work session that crime is not a problem. Cynthia Polk and I both believe crime IS a problem, and it is high time the mayor and the city council take the actions necessary against crime.
Cynthia Polk and I both helped to collect signatures on the charter referendum petition to try to hold off a double-digit tax increase. We did this because – although tax increases are sometimes necessary – the District 1 incumbent and the two city council leaders imposed this increase before even looking at the budget. They did this without a thought for how such a big tax increase would affect the struggling people in District 1 and throughout Salisbury.
Cynthia Polk and I both believe that financial discipline is important to making sure OUR money is spent on the priorities of the people. This is especially important to the people of District 1, who have watched jobs NOT come to the core areas of District 1. The people of District 1 have watched as Taj Mahal buildings go up while District 1 neighborhoods are left to crumble.
Last but not least, Cynthia Polk shares my love and concern for the Wicomico River and for the children of this city. She and I both believe we can restore the health of both, that we MUST restore the health of both. Joint projects can help both our river and our city’s children. Both our river and our children will be healthier if our neighborhoods are restored with better housing, safer streets and cleaner environments. More than one problem can be improved at one time.
For all these reasons, I endorse Cynthia May Polk for Salisbury’s District 1 City Council seat. I encourage my supporters and all District 1 voters to cast their vote for her.
The most important reason of all that I endorse Cynthia Polk is, with both my head and my heart, I believe it's the right thing to do for the people of District 1 and for all of Salisbury.
Be sure to vote Tuesday, April 7th. It’s important. It’s your right. It’s your voice.
Thank you.

US Births In 2007 Break 1950s Record
Babies FOX News AP – Graphic shows number of births in the U.S. since ATLANTA – More babies were born in the United States in 2007 than any year in the nation's history, topping the peak during the baby boom 50 years earlier, federal researchers reported Wednesday.
There is both good and bad news from the more than 4.3 million births:
_The U.S. population is more than replacing itself, a healthy trend.
_However, the teen birth rate was up for the second year in a row.
The birth rate rose slightly for women of all ages, and births to unwed mothers reached an all-time high of about 40 percent, continuing a trend begun years ago. More than three-quarters of these women were 20 or older.
For a variety of reasons, it's become more acceptable for women to have babies without a husband, said Duke University's S. Philip Morgan, a leading fertility researcher.
Even happy couples may be living together without getting married, experts say. Some cited a growing trend among all adult women to have children regardless of their marital status.

Delaware State Police Investigate Bridgeville Shooting Incident
Bridgeville – The Delaware State Police are currently investigating a shooting incident that left a 30-year-old Bridgeville man with a superficial injury to his stomach. The incident occurred in the 11000 block of Fourth Street in Walker's Mill Mobile Home park.
Troopers responded to a 911 call at approximately 10:00 pm last evening after it was reported two armed men forced entry into the victim’s residence resulting in a shooting incident. The investigation revealed the victim was inside the residence with a 32-year-old female and 13 year old female juvenile, all of whom reside at the home, when two black males began kicking the front door.
The suspects were announcing that they were the police as they were forcibly attempting to open the locked door. The occupants were concerned because they did not think it was the police and fled into the rear of the home. The male victim, concerned for his safety, retrieved a handgun and returned to the front door area when the suspects gained entry. The victim immediately observed the suspects armed with handguns and began to fire his weapon at the pair.
One suspect immediately fled back out the front door firing numerous shots into the home in the direction of the victim. The other suspect remained inside the home and began firing his weapon at the victim several times eventually grazing him in the stomach. Afterward, the second suspect fled the home on foot. The victim sustained a minor injury to his stomach, which required no medical treatment. The other occupants were not injured and remained in the rear of the home during the shooting.
The suspects have been described as black males. The first was clean-shaven, approximately 5’10’ to 6’ tall, approximately 30 yrs of age, average build wearing a black hoodie pulled over his head with a yellow garment underneath. The second suspect was only described as a black male.
Crime scene technicians have recovered ballistic evidence from the scene. Detectives are asking for anyone with information on this crime to contact investigators at Troop 4 at 302.856.5850 ext 206 or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.TIP.3333. Tips may also be forwarded to law enforcement through tip lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or on line at www.tipsubmit.com.

WalMart Gang Initiation Text Messages
I have gotten this for from several people this afternoon, and I know that you are usually on top of things and would like to know if there might be any truth to this? I know I will not be going to Wal-mart just to be on safe side, I work with about 65 lady's and about 20 have received the same text.
The text state's; Police are asking all women not to go to Wal-mart North or South tonite there is a gang iniation and 3 women will be shot tonite!
Thanks for always getting us the news fast!!! I love your website!!
I too have received several of these text messages and here's what I have come to learn. First of all, AT ANY TIME you need to know your surroundings in any parking lot. Secondly, both the Salisbury Police and WCSO are checking into where the original text message originated.
The Eastern Shore Crime Information Center is also researching where the first text came from but no one can confirm or deny it at this point. Think about it Folks, I highly doubt a Gang would announce ahead of time that they were going to shoot three women.
Ease up on calling the Police and simply use your head. In due time, should they get to the original person who started this rumor, they'll let us all know. In the mean time, stop worrying, know your surroundings and don't let these people destroy your every day lives.

HR 875 Have You Read It?
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-875
I’ll cut to the chase, I read the whole thing and it actually IS pretty scary.
Here is the most important part.

(13) FOOD ESTABLISHMENT-
(A) IN GENERAL- The term ‘food establishment’ means a slaughterhouse (except those regulated under the Federal Meat Inspection Act or the Poultry Products Inspection Act), factory, warehouse, or facility owned or operated by a person located in any State that processes food or a facility that holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients.
(B) EXCLUSIONS- For the purposes of registration, the term ‘food establishment’ does not include a food production facility as defined in paragraph (14), restaurant, other retail food establishment, nonprofit food establishment in which food is prepared for or served directly to the consumer, or fishing vessel (other than a fishing vessel engaged in processing, as that term is defined in section 123.3 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations).
(14) FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITY- The term ‘food production facility’ means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation.
(15) FOOD SAFETY LAW- The term ‘food safety law’ means--
(A) the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic

Read the definition of food.
So if you FEED animals you have a FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITY.

SEC. 206. FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITIES.
(a) Authorities- In carrying out the duties of the Administrator and the purposes of this Act, the Administrator shall have the authority, with respect to food production facilities, to--

This legislation also makes your home garden potentially illegal if you don’t follow certain federal rules and procedures that are set down in this legislation!

State Police Probe Knifepoint Robbery At Local Food Lion
Rehoboth Beach – The Delaware State Police are investigating an armed robbery of a local Food Lion that occurred last evening at approximately 10:51 pm. Troopers responded to the business located at 19287 Miller Rd and learned a white male armed with a knife robbed the business of an undisclosed amount of money.
The investigation revealed a 39-year-old Snow Hill, MD woman and a 54-year-old Milton man were working in the store when the suspect entered and confronted them near a cash register. The suspect, who is described as a white male, between 25 to 35 years old, 5’07” – 5’10”, 190 to 210 lbs with a full beard, handed the female clerk a note indicating this was a robbery and that she needed to hand over the money.
The suspect then verbally reinforced his demands and produced a large butcher knife threatening harm to the employees if they refused his commands. The victims gave the robber an undisclosed amount of money and he then fled the store.
Surveillance video is currently not available. When it becomes available, it will be released to the media. Anyone with any information on this crime is asked to call detectives at Troop 4 at 302.856.5850 of Crime Stoppers at 1.800.TIP.3333.

LOCAL BOOK ISSUES
I would like for everyone to be aware of the local book. My husband went to talk to someone about posting an ad in the book and they told him all he had to do was sign this paper and they would give him a rough draft then he can say if he wants it or not. Well we got the pic and were not happy with it so we called and told them that we didn't want it. They informed us that we signed a contract for that space in the book which we were never told that's how the contract was set up. WE now have a ad going in the book that WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH NOR DID WE AGREE TO. On top of that it is going to cost 3,000. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this matter would hate to see someone else get mis information from this company.......
Mayoral Candidate Jim Ireton Pledges To Clean Wicomico River
The Wicomico River is the starting point of our city. Salisbury was founded, here by the Wicomico, and grew because of the ships that sailed here and the people who built on its banks.
We stand on the North Prong of the Wicomico River today, where there are successful businesses where are our citizens work, to let the citizens of Salisbury know that there is one candidate for mayor that has committed himself to cleaning up this river and making it the backbone of our revitalization efforts throughout the connected neighborhoods and a downtown that it runs through. This river was the engine of our early economy – and its revitalization is the economic and environmental imperative.
After investigating river cleanup and revitalization projects throughout the country, my vision for the health of the Wicomico brings together the best of many of the efforts already underway here in this community with many of the best ideas used across the nation.
My plan, the Wicomico River Project pledges to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus levels, identifies every outfall pipe, its origin and what comes out of it, establishes a River Code of Ethics and engages the community and school system in the effort to restore this community’s most precious natural resource.
With our victory in the March 3 primary, it is the responsibility of this candidate to be more specific in his vision. That is why we are here on this St. Patrick’s Day...to bring the green back to the Wicomico.
What I will do as Mayor:
As Mayor I will take the fair and equitable parts of the Maryland Priority Places Urban River Project II application submitted by the administration forward including the continued partnership with the Maryland Department of the Environment
As Mayor I will map the bottom of the Wicomico to find out what can be removed in order to restore health.
As Mayor I will create within the Wicomico River Project “Wicomico River Keepers” – for business and industry to join us in building and conserving wildlife habitat and find alternatives to past procedures to avoid pollution and find the necessary funding to help make environmental stewardship affordable. “River Keeper Schools” will be created to bring hands on projects to students that will revive our collective community identity as stewards, from a young age, of our river. Students can take projects that meet standards of the Maryland State Assessment and turn them into a reality right here on their river. The great part about these initiatives is that they can be funded by private industry by utilizing the work of great organizations like the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, our University and Community College, and we can promote these programs by creating an online community of donors and supporters revolving around the Wicomico River.
As Mayor I will continue to build strong partnerships with community groups such as the Greater Salisbury Committee, The Nanticoke Watershed Alliance, Creekwatchers, the City Environmental Task Force, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and the Wicomico Environmental Trust, and Salisbury’s neighborhood Associations, the Delmarva Low Impact Tourism Board, and Urban Salisbury
As Mayor I will take the recommendations in Section 4.A.1 of the Environmental Task Force and put filters on our outfall pipes
As Mayor I will establish a date within 10 years that the Wicomico will be fishable and swimmable once again - Thirty years ago, children swam in the waters of the Wicomico, and the lakes and ponds that grow from it.. But now, we can’t even allow our children to eat the fish they catch in the Salisbury City Park. When I say that Help Is On The Way – I mean it, and I mean it for the Wicomico River
The plan of action contained in my Wicomico River Project will become the official policy of my administration. And I will work with every governmental agency, every homeowner and business owner and every land owner possible to make this a reality.
Saving this river – our river - must become a priority. Without it in a healthy city, our industries don’t grow. Without it in a healthy Wicomico, our homes lose value. And without it in a healthy Wicomico, part of what makes this City of Salisbury special begins to die, too.
When I grew up we rode our bikes to the small piers behind the Banks Market and crabbed and fished. We swam in Schumaker and Leonard’s Mill. We owe it to the citizens of Salisbury, to those children growing up now without a place to even swim or fish, to save our river. And we must act together to save it, because without a healthy Wicomico River, we can’t have a prosperous City of Salisbury. This effort is a moral, environmental and economic necessity. I ask you to carry this message to businesses and citizens throughout our city, because I’m Jim Ireton, a kid who swam and fished in this river, and Help Is On the Way.
Will Salisbury Be The Next To Charge For 911 Calls?
In Santa Rosa California they're not collecting enough taxes any more to pay for the 911 service so the City Council is preparing to charge each resident around $35.00+ a year, depending on your income OR $350.00 every time you need an ambulance service.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe
Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
And here's a Very Interesting Quote:
In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

Delaware Tax Tea Party
Delaware Tax Tea Party
If you are available to attend please do so. We need as many people as possible.
I am happy to announce that the Delaware Tax Day Tea Party will be officially announced on March 23. The announcement will be made at the Laurel town council meeting where our event request form will hopefully be approved. The meeting will be held at the town hall, located at Poplar and Mechanic Streets and starts at 7 pm. Please feel welcome to attend the meeting and show support.
There has been many request to hold a Tea Party in Dover and possibly Wilmington. I have not yet been able to find an area that does not require a $1 million insurance rider. I am looking for a solution to this problem and I would be grateful for any help in this area. This a problem that organizers are finding all over the country. One suggestion has been to not plan anything official, but to simply invite folks to take a walk around the Federal Building and Legislation Mall during a set hour. I do not know of any law that prohibits you from carrying a sign that expresses your concerns while you walk about town. This same thing could be done in Wilmington. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
With the event a month away, we need to get the chatter going. Please start talking about the Tea Party. We need to get the media interested. Please send letters to the editor and call radio and TV stations and ask if they know anything about the Tax Day Tea Party. I will be sending out a press release this weekend and the media needs to know there is an interest in the community.
I will keep you posted on how things are progressing. I am starting a list of volunteers. Please let me know if you would like to help out. This could be anything from directing traffic and assisting in handicap parking to helping with our mailing list. I have also been asked for suggestions on how to make a protest sign. I am beginning to look at entertainment for the event. I would especially like to have some activities for the kids since this is a family event. There are many ways to help. If you would like to help, please email me.
Thank you
