We'll See Your Violation And Up Yours!

The Town of Milton, DE. seems to be in the hot seat now with WWTP Violations of their own. Although the City of Salisbury is dealing with their own denial, Milton is now looking at a $10,000.00 a day in violations if they don't get theirs fixed right away.

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is claiming the WWTP is not filtering their water properly and discharging it into the Broadkill River. Sound familiar? Although the Town is cooperating so far, time will tell if they are fined or not? They too are planning on building a new WWTP in a year or so but maybe they could take lessons from the City of Salisbury?

The photo above is the illegal sludge pit at the Salisbury WWTP that is still in litigation with the MDE. The MDE has been asking the City to put in test wells for almost a year now to see if the liner that has been in place for more than 18 years and only guaranteed for less than one year is in fact leaking? The City refuses to respond to the MDE's request and are fighting them all the way.

Dave Pushkar, (from the MDE) stated to me personally that he felt it was highly suspicious that they refuse to respond and feels there's a very good chance the liner is in fact leaking.

Are 640,000 Readers Being Mislead?

The Daily Times front page article tells a story of the Men's Journal writing an article about the Eastern Shore and the beauty of what we have to offer.

Jim Rapp, (Director of the Salisbury Zoo) is seen here paddling through the river near the pipes in which were illegally discharging raw sewage and chemicals directly into the Wicomico River, which he knowingly allowed but denies, as well as Ron Alessi, (President of the Zoo Commission).

While 640,000 people read this particular article this month, what will happen when they arrive and find signs posted all over the Wicomico River telling them it's not safe at all to be in these waters?

Yes, the Eastern Shore USED to be a wonderful place for recreation but these people, (including Barrie Tilghman & Co.) have completely destroyed such an experience and should "ALL" be ashamed of themselves!

The Last Place Anyone Would Want To Work!

If you like discrimination against woman, go to work here!

One employee who worked for the Bank of Willards who is 8 months pregnant was recently fired for an incident that happened 8 months earlier that she didn't even get written up for and the problem, (human error) was immediately corrected. In order to get rid of her they used this as an excuse to let her go. No more health insurance, nothing! What a nice place to work!

Another woman was interviewing for a job there and she already had children and they asked, are you going to have any more children? Why? Because if you are, we're not going to hire you.

I was also told about a woman who has Lymes Disease as well as her child. They have to travel all the way to PA. to get treatments and she was recently told she may no longer use sick days to take off work, she must use her vacation time instead or she'll be terminated.

The entire Staff, (females) were recently told that if their child got sick at School after 9:00 a.m., they were NOT allowed to leave and get them. It would be up to their husbands to do so or they'd lose their jobs. Not only does the Bank of Willards pay their people next to nothing, they suck as an employer and one can only hope the group of them get together and create a Class Action Lawsuit against these people for discrimination.

It seems that since the President of the Bank is a former Attorney, everyone is scared to death of this guy. I say, sue the crap out of him and make him eat his own words!

If any of you would like to switch Banks, call Chris Hatton at the Bank of America just down the street. 410-749-2205. He's a great Investment Broker and he'd be honored to set you up with the right person to fill your needs. Why do I get the feeling a lot of women are going to switch Banks right away?

I Ain't Elderly Efffer! I Just Fffffergot My Teeffff!

Honey, stay here and use that umbrella while I unlock the gate and scare away these seagulls. Yeah, I know how much we spend each month to rent this space at Brew River! Look at it this way Honey, aren't they spectacular birds? We've got 1/2 the Salisbury Zoo right here on this Pier.

SHA Works Overtime?

The State Highway Administration was working overtime yesterday as they had received a truckload of trees, (shown above) being installed where the Bypass meets Rt. 50. Is this a good time to plant trees?

So When Is A Mayor A Mayor?

Tell me, what has Barrie Tilghman actually done for the City of Salisbury? More importantly, maybe everyone should now start concentrating on what Barrie Tilghman will be leaving all of you with once she's gone?

Proclamations during Council Meetings doesn't cut it!








Have things gotten better at the Zoo?
Have things gotten better at the WWTP?
Is the City in a better financial situation then it was last year?
Is the City in greater debt than last year?
Is the City a safer place to live?
Are murders up or down in the City?
Are there Gangs in Salisbury?
Is the River in better shape?
Do the Citizens believe in Barrie Tilghman and or trust her better this year than last year?
Is it just me or is the Bank of Delmarva involved in almost every transaction the City pulls off?
Has the Mayor publicly asked Mike Dunn where he in fact got his Stock in the Bank of Delmarva?
Are there less homeless people in the City?
Are the more homeowners in the City?
Do you believe what she tells you?
Is the Mayor making more money than last year?

There are tons of quality questions to ask but I think some of these shed light as to just how well things are truly going with this Mayor and Council. Let's leave it for the Barrie Supporters to come back and show us jus what good she has done representing all of you as your Mayor?

Most importantly, what will she leave all of you when she's gone and what will she have for herself when she leaves? We all know she put her name on the deed just before WalMart purchased their property.

Although this turtle is to the surface you can barely see his body? Why? Ecoli might be a good start!

So thanks for covering everything up Barrie and lying to the Public. As you can't clearly see, they'll survive.

Here We Go Again!

"Due to press release issues your paper will be delivered 3 to 4 hours late."

I wonder what would happen if we "all" chose a date and cancelled our subscriptions all at the same time?

Here's an idea. How about they come out with a paper just like they have in Ocean City, once a week? Oh, don't forget, those papers are FREE too!

Bad Hair Day?

This is what happens to you if you live on the Wicomico River and you don't use products from Coast To Coast Soapworks!

Oh, a major raw sewage spill doesn't help either!

Were There Two Major Leaks?

Hadley has broken this situation wide open as Pizzagalli representatives have simply had enough with the City of Salisbury and Public Works!

The main question was, why did the Mayor originally state there was a breach in the system at 1:00 a.m. and then change it to 9:30 a.m. later that morning?

Why did the Mayor state that it was fortunate it happened during the slow period during the middle of the night when 1:00 a.m. might make sense but certainly she didn't mean 9:30 a.m. being the middle of the night?

Why did the Mayor come to the City Council Meeting last night and then state she received an emergency call at 7:30 / 8:00 a.m. when the system hadn't broken as of yet, supposedly?

Why do Hadley and I have numerous witnesses that saw at 5:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. bails of straw covering the sewer drains in the road?

I'll tell you why! Because there were two breaches in the system. One was at 1:00 a.m. and they had already put out the bails of hay anticipating a breach. They had a problem and as early as 7:30 a.m. they called the Mayor to let her know there was in fact a problem but nowhere near as bad as what was about to follow. At 9:30 a.m. they went to torque a leaky bolt and it snapped and fell apart and the shit hit the fan!

This was an environmental disaster and let me tell you why this could be MUCH bigger than we had thought. Pizzagalli doesn't want to be responsible and they didn't even want the City to know what happened. So much so that they did NOT send any one of their Staff to the Hospital as they feared the City would find out how bad it really was.

NOW who do you trust? Pizzagalli was trying to cover up how bad the situation was, the pump was completely blown and they had no recovery pump to stop what they were hit with. The City has now PROVEN they have no clue what was going on and they have attempted to cover the truth several times now, so we know they're lying, especially the Mayor.

The MDE has been all over the City for such said situations all too frequently in this City of Salisbury and yet John Jacobs still has a job as well as a lying Mayor. It's a funny thing. When animals were dying at a VERY alarming rate the Mayor claimed she was going to hold an internal investigation to find out just how bad things were and then she threw it under the rug and waited for the AZA to offer their findings instead. Now there's a MAJOR breach in the raw sewage and there's no internal investigation, nothing!

As long as the Daily Times refuses to do this kind of internal investigating the Mayor will walk away from this like nothing ever happened. Her time line is all screwed up and they're not exposing what really happened. It's time to call in the FEDS and wake this woman up for the very last time. The MDE stated they made sure the City was following all the rules in such a disaster but that has been clearly found to be not true at all as well. A diver was found in the river JUST ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BREACH and there were no signs posted whatsoever!

WOW!

It's All In The Name

It has always fascinated me how people can come up with such fantastic names for their businesses. I mean, Brew River, who da thunk it?
These bottles were in fact floating in the river just outside Brew River.

These Divers Were Clueless!

Iyeska tipped me off today when she saw divers going into the River right next to Brew River. A Tug Boat was having mechanical proplems docked next door and they had a Diver in the water trying to see if he could locate the problem.

What they didn't know was that they were not supposed to be in the water. WHY, you might ask? Because there are NO signs anywhere to be seen anywhere around that area telling you it's restricted!

By the time I arrived, (after Iyeska forewarned these gentlemen of the danger) they had bolted out of the water and weren't too pleased! Is there another lawsuit in the making against the City? Or will they claim since it was in the paper they're in the clear? News at 11:00!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Am NOT Elderly!

Maybe Mrs. Cathcart needs to start looking a little closer to the women Mike Dunn keeps toying with whenever they enter the room?

Lynn, with all due respect, I understand your statement and I respect where you're coming from. However, nobody's whistling at you from across the street any more. No one that isn't blind and or married to you is calling you baby, honey, sweetheart, precious, georgous, baby cakes, hot stuff, moma suita, hoochie momma, etc.... (I say that in the most respectful way)

Face it Lynn, you'r time has come. You get discounts on your meals. You've served your time. Things ARE getting harder to remember like, why the hell did I walk into this room, I know I was here for something? Oh, yeah, (10 minutes later) it's a Council Meeting!

Last night Lynn wanted the world to know that she does not accept being called elderly, even though she fits into that catagory. May I recomment Dr. Vince Perotta? ;-)

I'll Give You The Key To My Club, I Mean Heart, I Mean City!

Now how come you don't come sit next to me Mikey and get all warm and fuzzy?

Are you proud of yourself Daily Times?

Some women have no self respect! If a man with the arrogance of Mike Dunn aproached this woman as a married man, (as he is) and flirted like Mike was doing last evening, she'd tell him she was there to do her job and ask Mike Dunn to respectfully do the same. The KEY here is, Mike doesn't live by those rules, nor does his wife.

I guess what makes it right is that the Pac 14 cameras weren't rolling yet. MINE WERE THOUGH!

Simon Says, Turn Your Head To The Right And Respect My Authority!

REMEMBER Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm a Mentor!

While Barrie Tilghman started her speech/lies about the pipe bursting with human feces flowing everywhere and ultimately into the River, Mike Dunn stopped the meeting entirely and addressed me personally. He blasted at me stating I was making it difficult for him to concentrate on what the Mayor was saying, because I was standing!

Now mind you Folks, I was by the FRONT DOOR! The cameraman above was IN THEIR FACE but they said nothing to him at all. Now if Mike Dunn had a clue on how to concentrate and didn't have ADHD, this would be understandable. However, once he knew the Mayor started lying and he heard my camera go off and everyone in the crowd started to speak because they knew she was lying, he took it out on me.

I know I mentioned some of this in another post but I wanted you to see pictures and proof that there was no way I should have been bothering Mike Dunn in this meeting. Because Mike is bellyaching, allow me to also express what a "PROFESSIONAL" does.

You see Mike, I used to play Professional Pool and traveled all over the Country playing in Tournaments. ESPN would be right in our faces when we'd take a shot. WAAAAAAA! Spectators would constantly be taking flash pictures. WAAAAAAA! The wife of your opponent would try coughing every time you'd go to take a shot. WAAAAAA! QUIT CRYING YOU LITTLE BABY! Grow up and DO YOUR JOB! If you don't like your job, QUIT and get the hell out of there because quite frankly Mike Dunn, nobody likes you any more. Oh, there are those 100 people that supported the old Mall Project though, right?

Oh, Mike, if you'd like to view some of my ESPN tapes I'd be honored to do so. Your cost will be .25 cents per second to do so. I'd like to catch the Public and Mrs. Campbell back up on all these fees the City is charging to review documents. Tell me who your favorite Male Professional Player is and I'll do my best to find a tape of me playing against that particular player? Won't this be fun!

Mike Dunn Proves He's #1

Mr. Caldwell showed his class this evening by almost begging the City Council to refrain from attacking the Citizens that put them in Office as well as one and other.

Mike Dunn 100% completely ignored Mr. Caldwell's requests as he attacked just about every person there. If you missed it on Pac 14, watch the repeat because it's a classic!

I was even personally spanked by Mike Dunn for standing up and taking pictures. Oh, it was perfectly fine for 47 News to move around and take shots. It was OK for the Mayor to get up two or three times, walk behind the Council and disturb everyone. It was OK for John Jacobs to walk over to Paul Wilber while the Council Meeting was in session but little old me standing near the entrance of this meeting room, completely in the opposite direction away from the Mayor speaking at the time, I was disrupting Mike Dunn? Mike was pissed because he knew the Mayor was lying and I started snapping pictures of her doing so and John Pick looking so upset.

You know what Mike, YOU ARE #1!

Barrie Tilghman Is A Liar!

During the first Press Conference referencing the Raw Sewage Explosion that found its way into the Wicomico River, Barrie Tilghman explained how it happened at 1:00 AM. Soon after they changed their tune and I believe it was based on their not having the proper equipment to clean up this mess and that's why you see all this "Rental Equipment" on site right now.

We have two witnesses that clearly saw at 5:30 AM and another at 7:30 AM where those bails of straw were already covering the sewer drains in the morning. Now here's the most interesting point. John Pick sent me a letter stating it happened at 9:30 AM and the first reporter was wrong.

However, the Mayor clearly screwed her whole story up this evening as she voluntarily admitted that she received an emergency call from John Jacobs at 8:00 AM that morning. Once again I'm calling out for Dave Pushkar to investigate this whole thing because when John Pick looked at the Mayor when she stated this, the anger in his face was very clear as he knew she just screwed the whole thing up.

Folks, there's a serious cover up going on. Here's where she screwed up again. She said something like, fortunately this happened in the middle of the night where there was very little volume of sewage running through the system and she was confident it was less than 43,000 gallons that entered the River.

HELLO!!!! Since when is 8:00 AM the middle of the night? However, if it WAS 1:00 AM it would make more sense. Nevertheless, Pushkar better get on the ball before the Citizens go completely nuts over even more Barrie Tilghman's cover ups and lies.

Just look at John Pick's face while the Mayor lies. This was priceless!

RED NET ALERT!!!!!

After Hadley spoke directly with the Contractor over the Raw Sewage Spill we had come to learn directly from them that they were VERY upset about this happening because a few of their guys were drenched from head to toe with human feces!

Now I know most of you have read this before from me and I had also asked why HAZMAT had not been called in. GET THIS! "Joe – no City or contractor personnel went to the hospital." This was just confirmed to me via John Pick and this is NOT good!

Is the MDE doing their job? Does the City of Salisbury have ANY common sense whatsoever? Should John Jacobs be holding the position he has right here and now if they did NOT demand that ANYONE who touched anything, got drenched and or could have been contaminated with this crap go to the Hospital?

OK, I'm now going to dig deeper and get more names because this literally stinks!
