Pittsville Officials Show Mike Their Sub Station

It turns out the Town of Pittsville owns the building and only asks the Sheriff's Department to pay for the telephone lines. It certainly makes me wonder how and why this location ever shut down?

Nevertheless, it's a perfect location and it will serve the community well. Does anyone know when they will in fact reopen Pittsville? The rumor was that it was supposed to reopen a few weeks ago.

Mike Lewis Introduces Himself To Pittsville

The Town Council of Pittsville received Mike Lewis with open arms as well as concerned residents asking several questions as to what Mike would do if elected in November.

Mike instantly reached out and explained how interested he was in Pittsville, with its growth and growing concerns. He wanted to thank all of the Firemen & Women over all the years he has been a Police Officer for their unrecognized actions. Without them I couldn't do my duty, while they direct traffic and keep things moving, allowing Officers to investigate the scenes.

There were talks about the speed limit in front of Pittsville Elementary School and just how many speeders race through that area while School is in. Every Town/City will have their concerns and hot spots and it will take the Citizens getting involved and letting the Sheriffs Department aware of their wants and needs in order to make the positive changes everyone is looking for. Reaching out like Mike did tonight is proof he's heading in the right direction and his campaigning never stopped.

I'll Give You Three Guesses Why I Know It's Monday!

I've Waited This Long, What's Another Few Days?

Has anyone noticed how there's not been one remark on any Blog Site stating how wonderful this man is and how great a job he could do for you? Dee, Dee, Deeee!

Oh how I love Delmar!

Good Monday Morning From The Albero Home

Is Your Grandchild This Talented?

Jennifer & I couldn't stop laughing today when our Grandson yelled out to us, Look Gwandma, I can do a headstand! Cameras are a wonderful thing, aren't they?

Hope you all are having a fun day too!

Red Net Alert

Super Fresh Pulls Lettuce Off The Shelves!

You're not hearing this anywhere else but a long term employee of Super Fresh told me this evening they received several different e-mail messages from Corporate telling them to pull lettuce with carrots in it. Then lettuce with other mixed vegetables cut up and ultimately all iceberg lettuce. By this evening they were coming off the shelves.

It looks like the problem wasn't just in the spinach and as we listened to the last Council Meeting where they were speaking of the old sludge removal from the WWTP and how they used to go to local farmers and spread it on their fields, it's no wonder these diseases are being spread like they are. It's in the soil! YUK!

The Grapeslime

The Daily Times has once again outdone themselves.

Did you see all of the development comments in today's toilet paper after a Judge ruled for the plaintiffs!

It's no wonder everyone is going to the Blog Sites and relying on our information and then reading the same news days, if not weeks later.

Greg Bassett, meet Randy Taylor. You two should hit it off like you've known each other all your lives! XOXOXOXOXOXO

Does Anybody Really Care?

The majority of people in this audience are politicians, their wife and or husband, family members, police officers and reporters. There were "very few" citizens attending this meeting.

Is the Press simply not letting the Public know these meetings are important? Has everyone already made up their minds? Does anyone really care?

The Law Enforcements Disability Plan is Very Poor!

Mike Lewis was clearly upset that there are only 2 African American Deputies on Staff in the Sheriff's Department. It was later corrected, they are actually down to only one now. He also expressed the difficulties of having no Hispanic Officers at all. The Hispanic population has grown so much that the County must pay for interpreters to handle calls and arrests.

Kirk said, (an officer) "He should look forward to going to work every day." I'm sure that was just a slip of the tongue.

City Council Meeting 9-11-06

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As you know I have been under the weather these past few days and today hasn't been any better then the rest.

However, Jennifer asked me if I'd like to watch the DVD of the Council Meeting Monday night and I agreed.

All I can tell you so far is this. They should be very greatful I wasn't there in person.

Barrie Tilghman was wearing the "only" jacket she seems to own, you know, the old yellow one. I'm just thankful she's wearing a jacket at all, following her track record. Nevertheless Barrie, change your Monday color, OK?

The name calling on the Council's bahalf in e-mails internally and to Citizens was unbelievable! Mike Dunn, you can dish it out but you can't take it? These Citizens weren't calling any of you names! They were reading what you people were calling them!

Nevertheless, it's a sight to see and like I said, I'll do my best to get something out there as you only need to see the first 15 minutes of the DVD anyway for public comment.

Randy Taylor, (neighbor) you are NOT going to like having me as your new neighbor, that's for sure! That had to be the biggest butt kissing contest I have ever seen. I can assure you that Randy Taylor was well prepared by his new butt kissing buddy and new partner in business Barrie Tilghman to state everything he did.

Oh Mike, where are those 100 people that you personally stated supported the project? Jennifer said you missed it by 99 as Randy was the only one out of a hundred. What do they call that new business the Mayor and Randy are putting together, a CDC? (Community Developement Corporation) More to come on that subject........

Once Again, Where's The Zoo Security? Oh, That's Right, It's Friday!

Today's Zoo Pictures

Do You Remember This Photo?

Not that long ago I posted several photos of animals needing to be adopted by the Humane Society. This 9 year old female German Shepherd was a beautiful dog and from what I hear the older dogs don't have much luck with adoption.

Well I have some fantastic news! A friend of mine approached me last night with a gleam in their eyes and I was not prepared to hear what they were about to tell me.

They saw the picture on this Blog Site and went in and adopted this dog right away. She is doing fantastic and has even lost about 40 pounds. The owners couldn't be happier and once again it proves the Blog Sites work!

Between dogs, horses, accountability at the Zoo, we're making a positive difference and I thank all of you for participating. Please don't forget the Humane Society if you're even remotely interested in a pet.

I'm Ahead By This Much

Can you imagine if all the Independent Voters had the chance to vote how different this outcome might be?

B.J. Corbin came out late and still put up an outstanding campaign and there's still a chance the man could win.

Nevertheless, you have to always respect the fact that Alessi is in fact ahead and could possibly pull off a win. If so, think about just how many Republicans will be voting for a Democrat in November.

I attended last nights forum and Alessi was once again a no show while B.J. Corbin showed up in the very least to see how and where everyone stands. I guess Ron feels, who cares, they'll all be listening to me if I win anyway.

A Daily Times Reporter Is Way Out Of Line!

Monique Lewis was recently visiting the Salisbury Zoo when she came upon a friend of mine who was there taking pictures with one of his new cameras.

The next thing he knew, Monique walked right up to him and said, are you taking those pictures for the Blog Sites?

The Times must be awefully scared about how and what we're doing because our hits on site meter tell us quite a few hits a day come from Gannett Publications. Stick that one in your hat Greg Bassett!

Leave the Visitors alone.
