Do you want to pay more for your electricity? Probably not. Unfortunately, that could be in the cards unless you speak out!
On Tuesday, November 10th there will be a public hearing of the Maryland Public Service Commission at Salisbury University. The hearing will be at 7:00 PM in the Nanticoke Room (Room 236) of the Guerrieri Center.
Tuesday Night! Very Important 7pm Wicomico County - Budget Amendment: Service Cuts, Increased Taxes, and You. Please Attend and Speak Out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you feel like paying more property taxes? I doubt it. Wicomico County is experiencing a 4 million dollar plus budget short fall. County executive Rick Pollitt has proposed to clean out all the reserves and make some heavy cuts. Pollitt admits that next year's budget challenges will be worse but has no solution, after he cleans out the reserves, on how to deal with that. Pollitt has been a proponent of raising the revenue tax in Wicomico for a number of years and Councilman, Bill McCain has also echoed this desire. This means raising your property taxes! Rick Pollitt is creating the perfect storm to make a case repeal the revenue cap after the elections, next year. Read about by clicking here.
Tonight 7pm at the Wicomico Civic Center, in the Midway Room
Please come out and PLEASE speak up at the meeting for responsible spending, no revenue cap removal, and night meetings!
If you can only attend ONE meeting, Attend this one and plan to stay a while or come a bit later than the 7pm start time, as it's sure to go on for a while. Public comments are at the end. Speak out for fiscal conservatism. Tell them to not take all the reserves, Scale back government, plan for next year, and DON'T EVEN THINK about repealing the Tax Cap. Call for night meeting for transparency.
Try to hit both Tuesday night meetings. Go to SU first and register your opposition to higher electrical rates and then head over to the Civic Center. The event at the Wicomico County Council budget Public Hearing is sure to go on longer.

Salisbury Puts Out Welcome Mat for Criminals
Lore Chambers might as well put out a press release or memo to ECI telling them the City of Salisbury welcomes all newly released prisoners. Just keep on dropping them off at the Christian Center in the Church St area and we'll take good care of them. All rapists, murderers, thieves, drug dealers, gang bangers, child molesters and anyone else released on parole or probation welcome in the City of Salisbury. We'll help you find housing from our long list of slumlords, just don't try to go in her neighborhood over in West Nithsdale. We'll set you up in a program to help you further your education, that you turned down while in ECI, job training, that you refused in ECI, so you can hang out in the rec yard, in the mean time you can draw benefits from Social Services, get some food stamps and a medical card and anything else you might need, just call Lore, she'll get it for you.
In the mean time, hard working citizens are thrown to the wolves. Long time citizens of the city are losing jobs with no relief in sight in this failing economy. If the city wants to institute programs, fine. Let's institute programs that help the families that have lived and worked honestly. Help families that contribute to our local economy. Help families that pay taxes on the properties that the city, with the aide of their slumlord buddies have turned into blighted areas, over run with drugs and gangs just so they keep it out of the areas where they live.
While the citizens beg and plead for relief from the rising crime rate the assistant city administrator is hard at work putting programs together to welcome newly released criminals into our neighborhoods.
Lore's new motto: "Like Motel 6, Salisbury will leave the light on for you."

HANDS DOWN, BEST DAY EVER ON SALISBURY NEWS
Mind you, we have not quite hit the record number but unless the Internet goes dead in the next hour, we'll be blowing away our record day by many thousands of visits. It's only 5:30 PM and and we're almost there.
Folks, like I said in my earlier Post. What Louise Smith did last night will only enhance more visitors and by golly, I was absolutely right. It has been an extremely busy day and I have around 140 e-mail messages to get back to so many of you and in due time I will, as always.
However, there's still two meetings to attend tonight, so it will be late this evening before I get back to you. If there's something really important you need me to tend to, please send another message and mark it urgent in the subject line.
My hat is tipped to the SPD, WBI, Delmar, DE. State & MSP for a job well done. Mind you, the two individuals in custody are suspects and have yet to be charged with today's robbery. Thanks for visiting Folks.

WOW! WBI, Delmar, SPD & Delaware State Police ROCK!
Folks, I have just returned from the scene and will soon be providing EXCLUSIVE pictures just as soon as WBI gives me the GO.
Talk about unbelievable instincts! I had just called the Sheriff's Department telling them there was a 4 door sedan on the side of the road with an unmarked car behind it. My concern was, there was no one there. A woman's dog got loose and I called it and was able to catch it. I said, do you happen to know who's vehicles these two cars belong to. She replied, I'm not sure but you could ask the Police Officers in the woods, they should know.
BAM! There they were and I got it! TWO individual, (who's names I'm withholding for now) are in custody and I have the pictures.
Great Work Officers! More to come.

A Comment Worthy Of A Post
Under the 1st Amendment you have the right to criticize government and advocate for things with which people don’t necessarily agree. The exceptions to this are that you cannot use profanity, you cannot incite violence, or lie to harm others (slander).
Political speech is the most highly protected form of free speech and considered essential for a functional democracy. You are allowed to disagree with your government and the way it is being operated. You are allowed to vocalize this at public city council meetings. The government is not allowed to restrict the content of your speech if you are not being profane, inciting violence or slandering anyone. So complaining that you don’t believe the Chief of Police is doing his job, is protected free speech. Asking for a clarification of the qualifications for someone to be Fire Chief or Police Chief is protected free speech. These are not personal attacks, they are not profane, they are not inciting violence, they are not slandering an individual. Louise was wrong to stop Joe’s public comments. If Joe’s comments sunk to slander, then Louise could interrupt him and the person who he slandered would have cause to sue him. None of that happened.
When Louise violated Joe’s 1st Amendment rights, she was not “acting within the scope of her duties.” Meaning, it was not part of her job description to violate the 1st Amendment rights of people speaking at a public council meeting. She could argue it is her job to regulate the meeting and make sure the meeting does not become disruptive, but Joe was not being disruptive, he was not profane, he was not inciting violence, and he was not slandering anyone. Louise interrupting him was disruptive and it was illegal. When Louise acted in this manner, acting outside the scope of her duties, she left herself open for personal suit. Meaning she would not have the governmental immunity or legal protection of the City. So, who’s going to lead Louise down that path again and file suit against her? You’ve already got plenty of examples on tape where she lets some people make personal attacks on a public official (Cathcart on Ireton) and that’s just the most recent example, yet cuts off other people at the merest hint that they might say something she and her political cohorts don’t agree with.

This Just In From John Robinson
John Robinson has left a new comment on your post "There's No Such Thing As Transparency And Accounta...":
I believe about 25% of what you just wrote. And that's on a good day.
First, your suit was from Sam's Club, so it cost you about $75. Nice quality from some kid working in a sweat shop.
Also, you don't have your own TV show. You paid for that time, and I have the record to show it. Wanna prove me wrong? Try buddy. You're a sociopath, and the faster someone puts a bullet in your head, the better off we all are. That's not a threat, just something I hope that happens.
BREAKING NEWS: PNC Bank Robbery
Baby blue two door north 50 DE tagsSounds like one white male.
This is the PNC across the street from Chef Fred's on Rt. 13
They are stopping every blue and silver car PNC north.
White male in his 30's about 5-10.
Die Pack blew up on him.
He has on a grey and brown zip style coat.
One report says he's black, the other says he's white.
They are still saying he is white and they are reporting now its a four door. About every blue car with DE tags is being pulled over. They are even saying the car could be white. They are looking at bank videos now to see which it is. It is going to take twenty minutes to download the tape. Welcome to the SPD.
Sounds like we lost him again. One officer keeps asking the others if a note was used. Why does that matter right now? Also they can't even find out if a gun was used. You would think by now the banks would have some kind of training on what to do and most important get all the information you can. The guy drives off in a car and no one can get the color right or even get a plate number.
The Sheriff's Department keep asking for pictures. SPD has not given out any info. Central just told the cops that WBOC and WMDT has pictures and they should check there. Nothing forwarded to Salisbury News. Guess they won't catch them.

We're that much closer to our goal of getting below 100,000 before the end of the year. Our Site Meter numbers are through the roof today as well. You see Folks, the more they fight me, the more powerful we become. People aren't just coming to Salisbury News from Salisbury. They're now coming here from all over the world, day after day. If this weren't true our numbers wouldn't keep going down, so here's the proof above, day by day.
Let Louise, Gary, Shanie & Mayor Ireton sit idol and yes, even laugh at me, that's cool. They may get their way on PAC 14 but they will not be so fortunate here on Salisbury News and or the Joe Albero Show.
By the way Folks, Pohanka had the busiest day they've had in quite some time yesterday. Good For Them!
Cause Of Death: Political Correctness
The Army psychiatrist suspected of killing 13 people at Fort Hood reportedly warned senior Army physicians in 2007 that the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars to avoid "adverse events."
According to The Washington Post, Major Nidal Malik Hasan was supposed to make a presentation on a medical topic during his senior year as a psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Medical Center.
Instead, Hasan lectured his supervisors and two dozen mental health staff members on Islam, homicide bombings and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting against other Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Under a slide titled "Comments," he wrote: "If Muslim groups can convince Muslims that they are fighting for God against injustices of the 'infidels'; ie: enemies of Islam, then Muslims can become a potent adversary ie: suicide bombing, etc." [sic]
The last bullet point on that page reads simply: "We love death more then [sic] you love life!"
On the final slide, labeled "Recommendation," Hasan wrote: "Department of Defense should allow Muslims [sic] Soldiers the option of being released as 'Conscientious objectors' to increase troop morale and decrease adverse events."
"There were definitely clear indications that Hasan's loyalties were not with America," Lt. Col. Val Finnell, Hasan's classmate at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. He and Hasan were students in the school's public health master's degree program from 2007-2008.
"The issue here is that there's a political correctness climate in the military. They don't want to say anything because it would be considered questioning somebody's religious belief, or they're afraid of an equal opportunity lawsuit.

Last Night Disapointment
The following message was sent to the City Council.......
"First of all no wonder no body in SBY wants to make a public option on matters. Before they can even get their word out on their public option, after having to take a oath, they are knot down by L. Smith. Now I was always taught that if you wanted to make a public option, you could so now all of a sudden the tide has chance. So now you can't make your own public option on matters that affect the City of SBY. If Chief of Police is not doing his job, the Citizens need to know about it. Crime is the pits, I feel like I'm living in the City of Baltimore, MD.
I think it time to start cleaning house in the City of SBY, and weed out the ones that are not doing their job per say. And start placing with new ones with NEW IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Were as the ones that are on the payroll now, just aren't cutting with me.
Now that being said that's my public option."

BUT, DOES JIM IRETON HEAR SALISBURY SPEAKING?
Public comments made at the Salisbury City Council’s meeting last night were almost entirely about crime in Salisbury that continues to skyrocket following this year’s election. Some folks asked, and others implied, that Allan Webster should be summarily dismissed as the Police Chief. Not only is he ineffective in fighting crime, for months now he has (figuratively) fiddled while Rome burns.
Beginning in the final throes of Barrie Tilghman’s reign of horror, and thereafter continuing, on his days in town Chiefy has devoted inordinate time to “investigating” the whereabouts of a surveillance tape that, according to his story, the SPD made and gave to someone in 1998 but did not know was “missing” until this year. Ridiculous, to be sure, but that’s the way it goes.
Could it be that Chiefy wants a spot on that “Cold Case” show? In any event, Salisbury’s rapidly growing gang activity and soaring violent crime will have to await his undivided attention until that tape is recovered.
Webster’s latest lawsuit and his posturing in the local mainstream media about the “missing” tape and his conduct – http://sbynews.blogspot.com/2009/11/chiefy-websters-whistle-blower-baloney.html -- is undermining a police force that, despite being undermanned (once again), is generally capable. Morale having already dropped, look for even greater attrition of personnel from the police force. The longer Chiefy remains its “leader,” the worse, and harder to restore, it will become.
Webster is a clear and present danger to public safety in Salisbury, and he should be dismissed now. Make that “must be.”
Mayor Ireton: just do it!

There's No Such Thing As Transparency And Accountability In The City Of Salisbury Maryland
One thing you can count on Folks is the fact that we will deliver the video from last night's City Council fiasco.
However, while much is being written about last night's meeting throughout the Blogosphere, the MSM is simply too afraid of our local Government Officials, therefore they'll keep quiet about it to secure their income.
WHAT YOU DIDN'T SEE LAST NIGHT:
As I rode the elevator to the third floor, (alone) the doors opened and there stood Chiefy Webster. At first he had that deer in the headlights look in his eyes as he saw me inside the elevator. Then he saw I was dressed in a suit and tie, (nicer than his own, mind you) and he started laughing at me, like a 7 year old child. I ignored him and walked passed him and he started getting even louder as he got into the elevator. All I kept thinking was, this is a supposed grown man who leads the City?
Look Chiefy, everyone knows you read this Blog and watch my Television Show. So let me first say this. If you thought last week's Show was tough on you, wait until this week old man because YOU will not be able to show your face again in the City of Salisbury and perhaps anywhere else. Remember Chiefy, Comcast Channel 9 at 10:30 AM.
Folks, this Show is a must see for everyone. We taped it yesterday and of course it will air on Saturday. VERY POWERFUL! I don't need to come back at old Chiefy when he laughs at me for dressing nice. I'm a confident enough man to know, I'm far more respected in this community than he'll ever be.
That being said, I received a phone call yesterday from a gentleman in which he and I haven't seen eye to eye for many years. In fact, he hated my Blog and pretty much everything I represent. That is, until last Saturday. He called me and said, Joe, we haven't gotten along very well for a lot of years but I want to apologize to you for the way I have been acting towards you. I saw your show on your Blog and I had NO IDEA what you had been put through. I had always been told the other side and never gave you the chance to tell me your side, I'm sorry.
So you see Chiefy, you will lose your job or you will go running for the hills like Jim Rapp, John Jacobs, Carrie Samis, Barrie Tilghman, Mike Dunn, Lynn Cathcart and so many others I have exposed over the years. It's only a matter of time before everyone finally hears the truth. So we'll see who's laughing at who in the end.
Now, moving on to last night's meeting. What a mess, huh! That Louise Smith is something else, isn't she. Can you tell each and every one of them watched my Show and then met with Barrie Tilghman to figure out yet another way to shut me down. They knew I was going to go after their new PIO Officer at the SFD. They knew I was going to expose the SFD and Lore' Chambers for her part with Hoppes. They knew I was going to be the one and only person in a position in which I could straight up challenge the Chief of Police without hesitation.
So what's the answer, shut Joe Albero down. That's OK Folks, I have my own TV Show now, they can't stop me. They tried for years to shut down Salisbury News, it failed and we have now grown into the most popular Website in the entire state. Actions like Louise Smith made last night will simply draw that many more people to the new Show.
My phone rang off the hook immediately after she did this, so LOTS of people were watching PAC 14 last night and witnessed it LIVE. Many of you asked why I stood there and took it. Well, one thing I will tell ALL of you is, I have kept my word with Louise Smith and as a gentleman I will always continue to do so.
Soon after my Mother passed away I ran into Louise Smith at Sam's Club. I was walking through the parking lot to head into the store when Louise called out, "Joe, can you give me a hand." I immediately replied, sure Louise, what can I do for you. She had a large box of copier paper and couldn't load it into her trunk, so I gladly helped out. As I was loading the box into her trunk Louise was giving me her condolences about my Mother and as I turned back around to thank her, two gentlemen were standing behind her. I thanked her and one of the gentleman said, "Are you Joe Albero?" I said, yes Sir, I am. He said, "I just want to thank you for everything you do." The other gentleman said, I thought that might be you Joe. He put out his hand for me to shake it and said, you do a great job and I follow your Blog every day. Well, Louise was beside herself as she got a touch of what I run into every single day I'm out on the streets.
Louise quickly took her cart and put it in the storage area while I finished my conversation with these fine gentleman. Again Folks, we're not just getting there, we have arrived and Louise Smith knows it. They never said hello to Louise Smith. Heck, they didn't even recognize her presence. One thing I did notice was that Louise Smith was parked in a Handicap Parking Space with a tag in her window. Folks, Louise Smith broke the law. You see, that Handicap Tag is for when she transports her MOTHER. Her Mother wasn't with her, nor is her Mother there every time she goes to a City Council Meeting and takes that Handicap Parking Space at the GOB.
Don't you worry Folks, it will soon come around. I will NOT be the person Barrie Tilghman and so many others have painted me out to be. I will be respectful, yet I will not stand down.

Carter’s body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy. The autopsy conducted today determined the cause of death was homicide and the manner of death was a stab wound to the chest.
A second inmate, Dawntay Tobin, 32, was also found to have injuries on his hand, shoulder and back. He was treated at the Peninsula Regional Medical Center and released back to the custody of ECI officials.
The preliminary investigation indicates Carter and Tobin were involved in a fight with fellow inmates on an upper level of a housing unit at the prison, shortly after 9:00 p.m. yesterday. A responding correctional officer disrupted the fight and found the two injured inmates.
Maryland State Police crime scene technicians responded to the prison last night and processed the scene. State Police homicide investigators, assisted by criminal investigators from the Salisbury and Princess Anne barracks, began interviewing dozens of inmates, as well as prison staff last night. Those interviews are ongoing today. Assistance is also being provided by the Internal Investigative Unit of the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.

What The Heck Do These People Think They're Doing?
Between the City Leaders and the County Leaders, have they los their minds? This is what you get when two groups don't reach out to the public first and start to resolve issues.
The Wicomico Library wants to take over an entire section of Riverfront Property, extremely valuable property, mind you. However, what makes it worse is their stupidity in even considering such an idea.
You see Folks, the Library pays NO TAXES. Not only are they planning, (in this proposal) to take away a ton of parking Downtown, they're also taking away metered parking.
OK, everyone knows Monday nights are not the greatest nights for the restaurant business but look at the photos above taken last night. The Market Street Inn has pretty much packed TWO parking lots. This was taken at around 8:00 PM last night.
The new Library proposal takes away all but about 15 parking spaces for the Market Street Inn, seriously.
While everyone else in the Country is downsizing, Salisbury, (once again) has to build bigger and better than anyone else. Just look at the new Fire Station 16 that cost the taxpayers some $14,000,000.00 just to build. That doesn't include the new Fire Trucks and so forth.
Libraries do NOT have to be bigger, everyone is now using the Internet. Yet some how, some way, Comegys, Smith & Shields believe this is the right way to go, bigger. While this waterfront property is extremely valuable, the County is laughing all the way to the Bank, then they'll also get it for free.
But wait, there's more.
Remember old Fire Station 16 Downtown? Well it's my understanding that the City is in negotiations with UMES to build a restaurant there. Students in the culinary education would work there to provide food for the public.
While a restaurant would be nice, how about letting someone take the risk of creating one, rather than one that is pretty much fail proof. If they are to allow this to happen, they would shut down the rest of the restaurants Downtown who couldn't compete with free labor and no case as to the cost of food.
The City and County have forgotten where they came from, that's all there is to it. They have taken municipalities and turned them into businesses for their friends. Look Folks, I have been in business for a lot of years and I have done pretty darned good for myself over the years. If you own a business in Salisbury and you think you're going to survive, you're wrong. IF you can get out, do it NOW. I'm being very serious with each and every one of you. The City and County are monopolizing real estate and throwing away your tax dollars like there's no tomorrow, hence the SFD, the Salisbury Zoo, the Library, the Bricks, shall I continue!
You don't have business leadership in the Mayor's Office or the County Executive's Office, (with all due respect). You have politicians who are following the democratic trend that is failing the entire Country. Liberals that want to save the world, tree huggers. You know, all feel good crap to assure no one goes hungry, everyone has health care, welfare, social security to illegals, you name it.
I know, in the worst economy the United States has ever experienced throughout its history, let's go out an buy a $900,000.00 Fire Boat because we have less than a mile of waterfront but the second largest port in Maryland. PLLLLLLEEEEEEASE!
There's no question in my mind that the next elections will truly change the scope of politics and quite frankly I'm not so sure Rick Pollitt is secure in his job either.
The LIBRARY is just fine, leave it be!Quit putting hard working Americans out of business for your own special interests and tell UMES to shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

A Laughing Stock Called Salisbury Maryland
That's what Salisbury City is, or at least what the Salisbury City Council is, namely Louise Smith, Queen of Hearts.
I left there feeling embarrassed having been a part of it.
Dirty even.
Gawd.
The effort tonight was a pretty good one. The purpose of course, was to speak out against the rising crime and the lack of leadership that has allowed this small city to be ranked number two most dangerous city in the nation, per capita. This is an issue any reasonable person can get behind.
About 10 city residents and tax payers spoke out during the public comments session, with an audience of about 50 or more in attendance. Applause ensued after many of the citizens' comments. Some people directly questioned Chief Webster's standing, as Cindy Pilchard did.
Ben Disharoon described bullets flying into his home that lodged themselves into the siding of his house on Smith Street, and one into his Beatles book. He described a neighbor who was shot and killed with great emotion and another who was brutally beaten. He called on the council to do something to fight back against the out of control crime in the city.
Others described how they had witnessed crimes, drug deals, and lack of police action. They said they feared to leave their homes and walk on their own streets.
However, the most stunning display of the evening was when Joe Albero took the podium. Joe made some comments about the crime rates and then went on to give his opinion about Police Chief Webster's lack of success with the local crime rates. Joe's speaking was abrubtly cut short by the pounding of council President Louise Smith's gavel! She said he needed to refrain from any personal comments about an elected official.
Say what?
Joe protested, saying it was his opinion and his First Amendment right to speak and Louise shut him up again with her gavel. Albero said fine and went on to describe the Fire Chief elects' lack of qualifications when Louise once again pounded her gavel and dismissed him. Jaws dropped all around me and there were snickers from a couple of council people.
Guess who did something as arrogant as that?
I'm sure I am not adequately describing this scene, but trust me, it was pure insanity and the second time in two months I've seen Louise Smith silence a tax payer, using her position to intimidate.
I can't wait for the PAC 14 video. You will see it was absolutely stunning and it will piss any citizen off anywhere to see this type of behavior from elected officials. It was worse than a Kangaroo court.
Picture the Queen of Hearts, from Alice in Wonderland; screaming "Off with their heads!" and you'll get a good visual.
And what did the mayor do? He just sat there on his hands doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and NOT SAYING A WORD. Is that leadership?
Before it was all over Donna Ennis got up and spoke about her frustration of the rising crime and the lack of action on the part of the city. She reminded the council that if they didn't do anything, that three of the five seats were up for re-election and the voters would do something.
If I took anything away from this at all, it was that Louise Smith must go.
More on this to be reported after I receive the PAC14 video. It's better than a reality show if you like that sort of thing...

Shocking Numbers: Real Unemployment Tops 22%
Obama figures deliberately understate economic downturn
Editor's Note: The following report is excerpted from Jerome Corsi's Red Alert, the premium online newsletter published by the current No. 1 best-selling author, WND staff writer and columnist. Red Alert subscriptions are $99 a year or $9.95 per month for credit card users.
Annual subscribers will receive a free autographed copy of "The Late Great USA," a book about the careful deceptions of a powerful elite who want to undermine our nation's sovereignty.
The true rate of unemployment for October 2009 may be 22.1 percent, not the 10.2 percent reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Jerome Corsi's Red Alert reports.
Unemployment at 22.1 percent, if accurate, would be at numbers not seen since peak unemployment during the 1973 to 1975 recession.
Economist John Williams, publisher of ShadowStats.com, estimates that the peak of unemployment in nonfarm unemployment in the Great Depression of the 1930s would, by his methodology, have registered at 34 to 35 percent in 1933.
So, how does the Obama administration get away with reporting the lower unemployment percentage?
Corsi explained that the Clinton administration changed the way BLS calculates unemployment statistics by excluding "discouraged workers," those who had given up looking for a job because there were no jobs to be found.
Since the Clinton years, discouraged workers looking for a job for more than one year are not counted as "unemployed" because they are considered to have dropped out of the labor force.
The BLS still includes in "U6 Unemployment" calculations short-term discouraged workers, as long as they have been looking for a job less than one year.
This definition permits the Obama administration to under-report "U3 unemployment" at 10.2 percent when real unemployment as calculated before the Clinton administration redefinition is twice that amount, Red Alert contends, and U6 unemployment lies somewhere in between.
These differences are illustrated in the following chart that Williams produces in the "Alternative Data" section of his website named "Shadow Government Statistics: Analysis Behind and Beyond Government Economic Reporting."

More Salisbury Fire Department Questions
Teens Accuse Businessman Of Sexual Assault
A local businessman faces charges after two 17 year old boys told police he sexually assaulted them, beginning when they were young children.
Richard “Dick” Dennis Singer, 62, of 6714 Kimberwick Court in Gainesville, was arrested after the teens, who are related to Singer, reported the abuse to police on Sept. 17, said Prince William police spokeswoman Erika Hernandez.
Singer is charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery, one count of forcible battery, and with taking indecent liberties with minor.
The victims were both 10 years old when the assaults began, said Hernandez, who released the information about the arrest for the first time Monday.
The assaults took place in Prince William County, but Hernandez could not release how many times the victims were assaulted.
Singer is listed as CEO and President of Singer and Associates, a Manassas-based firm which specializes in the sale of fire and rescue equipment to agencies in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.
Someone answering the phone at Singer and Associates hung up on a News & Messenger reporter Monday afternoon.
According to a Singer company newsletter published this summer, 11 Virginia fire and rescue agencies — including Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, Spotsylvania and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority — recently placed orders to Singer for new firefighting equipment. They included orders for water pumping and tanker fire trucks.
Prince William County in the past hired the Singer company to maintain their fire and rescue apparatus, however, a spokeswoman did not have information on how much, if any, firefighting equipment the county purchased from Singer.
The newsletter also details orders to various fire and rescue agencies in Maryland.
In the summer newsletter, Singer wrote poor economic conditions affected his business.
“The Washington, D.C./Baltimore metropolitan area is known as “recession proof” due to the large federal government influences both downtown and in the suburbs. While we are experiencing a slight slowdown, that is nothing like other sections of the county are reporting,” Singer wrote.
In 2007, the company consolidated its offices in Winchester and Gainesville and opened a corporate headquarters and service center in Manassas, according to the company’s Web site.
Singer is charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery, one count of forcible battery, and with taking indecent liberties with minor.
Singer was released from the Prince William-Manassas Regional Jail on bond last Thursday.
Editors Note: This is the owner of Singer Associates Fire Equipment where the Salisbury Fire Department purchased the apparatus and the new fire boat from. They dealt with Mike Vincent from Seaford DE.

Why Obama Is Blind To Terror... & Freedom
In the hours following the shooting at Ft. Hood, President Obama demonstrated resolute apathy to the greatest issue of our time. His callous and apathetic beliefs caused some rather unbecoming behavior for a United States President. And worse yet the American people are the one's who will suffer... And they noticed.
Roughly two and a half hours after the shooting that took the lives of American service personnel, on American soil, President Obama was scheduled to deliver a speech to a Tribal Nations Conference being sponsored by the U.S. Government. Once the President was told of the Ft. Hood shooting, the White House team made the decision to go forward with the conference and that the President would deliver his previously prepared remarks.
Once the President was given the stage, the news networks of the world zoomed in on the otherwise little-noticed conference. The President spent several minutes at the beginning of his time giving introductory remarks. He gave "shout-outs" to his "homies" in the crowd. He also apparently attributed a Congressional Medal of Honor to someone in the room. The only problem being that the man in question had not in fact ever received the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Another Business Going Out Of Business
Joe,
I just got home from Hancock's in the Twilley Shopping Center. While I was there I was told that if I have a machine on layaway with the Bernina area which is inside Hancock's that I better get it out asap. People from Bernina showed up today and started packing up machines, etc. They've been operating in the red for the past month so the Salisbury store will be closed. Even the Bernina employee's didn't/don't know this is going on right now. If any of your readers have machine's on layaway or possibly jobs with Bernina they better get over there to talk to the people boxing things up.

Pennies
I always picked up pennies because I thought they were kisses from my parents in heaven. What a wonderful new view on pennies.
You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think about.
Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. My friend, Arlene, was nervous about the weekend.. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house.
The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live... The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. Arlene knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely..
As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of Arlene and her husband.. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment..
Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts Still silent, the man reached down and pickedup the penny.
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value..
A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this?
"Look at it." He said. "Read what it says."
She read the words "United States of America"
"No, not that; read further."
"One cent?" "No, keep reading."
"In God we Trust ?" "Yes!" "And?"
"And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It iswritten on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment.. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!
When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, "In God We Trust ," and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message.
It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient..

ANOTHER TEACHABLE MOMENT FOR US? OBAMA THE MUSLIM.
The Bungler in Chief not only gave a shout out to a homey that Barry had awarded the Medal of Freedom to (Obummer called it the Congressional Medal of Honor) but he mewled: "We don’t know all the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts." It's simply amazing that someone who went to Muslim school as a kid, who hung with his radical socialist bretheren in college, who has terrorists for friends, and who attended a radical anti-American Black Liberation Theology Church for 20 years, where Rev. Wright uttered things like: "no, no, no, not God Bless America, God D*mn America," can tell US, not to jump to conclusions. But didn't Barry jump to conclusions when he said Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley acted "stupidly?" Barry did not have the facts when he vomited his spew. Hasan is an Islamic terrorist, plain and simple. The facts available for our perusal are more than enough facts to support that statement. Even more stunning is that Bush 43 and Laura Bush visited the base, with no reporters or photo ops, while Barry HAS NOT DONE IT! Barry has been AWOL at various functions, like celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted the Muslim declaration, "Allahu Akbar," (God is great) as he opened fire on his fellow soldiers. In fact, according to the U.K.Telegraph:
"Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats. He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July."
"Political Correctness" has reached unprecedented levels in America and it is killing this natin. Quite naturally, the radical screeners and apologists at CAIR immediately covered for Hasan. He was a victim of prejudice. Oh, it was the ARMY's fault. It was his PTSD! Wait, he'd never deployed before! Evidently, this Islamic terrorist had even attempted to make contact with al-qaeda! The Gunny hopes that Hasan gets a fast trial followed by a faster execution. Then bury the maggot in a pigskin and fill in his grave with pig slop. He deserves no less. May he and his apologizers burn in Hell.

Officials: U.S. Army Told Of Hasan's Contacts With Al Qaeda
Army Major in Fort Hood Massacre Used 'Electronic Means' to Connect with Terrorists
U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
According to the officials, the Army was informed of Hasan's contact, but it is unclear what, if anything, the Army did in response.
Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said that he requested the CIA and other intelligence agencies brief the committee on what was known, if anything, about Hasan by the U.S. intelligence community, only to be refused.
In response, Hoekstra issued a document preservation request to four intelligence agencies. The letter, dated November 7th, was sent to directors Dennis Blair (DNI), Robert Mueller (FBI), Lt. Gen Keith Alexander (NSA) and Leon Panetta (CIA).
