Jeep Slams Into Home



Earlier this evening a Jeep drove right into this home on Middle Neck Road, (sp?). It's been reported that one person was injured that we are aware of. And the MSM complained about Toyota...

"Singer fire equipment bought a 1988 Pierce engine from Salisbury this year for just a few thousand. They dropped a create motor in it for around $3500 and its running around as a spare/loner. Salisbury let it sit for months and never looked into a motor when it blew. Gordy said it was not worth it and called it a blessing. This allowed him to buy a new one as he said. The council never knew what hit them."

Most Everyone Lied Yesterday In Our Survey Question



While the majority of you stated there's no darned way you'd dump $5,000.00 into a 1994 Ford Crown Victoria with 150,000+ miles on it. Yet, YOU ARE. YOU are in fact dumping some $5,000.00 into this engine, it's YOUR car and while I agree, the decisions is flat out stupid, the leaders of the City of Salisbury couldn't care less what YOU think.

The vehicle is sitting in the Shop right now and you just blew five grand. Now, for me personally, I would have searched the Internet for a vehicle similar to this one, (since they're a dime a dozen) with very low miles on it and I would have made the exchange.

The way the Fire Department thinks, why not dump five grand into it and then surplus it at the end of the year. This is the same group that spent $14,000,000.00 on a new Fire Station and no one ever questioned who was pocketing what! There's not even been an investigation to prove the deal was shady.

However, things seem to come in $5,000.00 cycles. They sold a $50,000.00 Ladder Truck for $5,000.00, (or so). Since that was FREE money, why not dump it into a piece of crap Crown Vic that's been torn apart inside and out. The paint is peeling off this vehicle. The tires are worn out. I hear this vehicle is just a piece of junk, yet YOU just spent $5,000.00 to put a new motor into it.

Enjoy your ride Taxpayers!

Salisbury's American Legion Baseball Needs Coaches – Now!


Salisbury American Legion Post 64 baseball is in great need of experienced coaches for the 2010 season.

38 games are scheduled, half against Legion teams from the Eastern Shore, the other half against East Coast Legion teams from Maryland to Upstate New York and beyond.

Our Blue Sox team has a long tradition of outstanding ball playing, with a record of 304-98, bringing home no fewer than eight Eastern Shore District titles in its last twelve seasons. Since 1998, every one of the 114 Blue Sox team players has entered college, over half of those played NCAA level ball, and three went on to play professionally.

Nationally, there are about 5000 American Legion teams in all 50 states. Begun in 1925, American Legion Baseball found sponsorship by Major League Baseball in 1928, and has kept that sponsorship ever since. 75% of all MLB players played on a Legion team as a teenager. Over 50 of those players are now in the Baseball Hall of Fame. More about the league and the team HERE (http://www.post64baseball.org/).

Players of ages 15 to 19, born in 1992 or later are eligible for the 2010 season. They must be students of Parkside, Bennett, Wicomico or Stephen Decatur high schools or a private school in Wicomico County. Tryouts are scheduled for Sunday, May 2nd, at a location to soon be announced.

Players, former players and parents of players know just how important having a great coach is to developing a player's potential, a team's spirit and taking them to play a winning season.
If you think you have what it takes, give Salisbury Legion Post 64 team manager Gordy Kissner a call at 443-735-3329, or email at ggkissner@verizon.net.
