It's Amazing Who You Could Run Into On The Plaza

Yesterday it was the Mayor. Today it's the window washer, Doug Church and look, it's Charles Jannace's Wife, Goldie! When we struck up a conversation with her a friend asked if she knew about certain architects and she replied, "I don't get out often." The old ball and chain thing, eh Charles. LOL Well at least she wasn't wearing shorts where everyone could rag on her.

The Three Funerals

Did anybody happen to notice the picture God painted for us as we watched the events of the day unfold on every news station around the world? The portrait of three men's lives shown clearly through the events of their deaths.

One a wise man, one a foolish man and one a wicked man.

Three men captured the world's attention by their lives and their deaths. Their funerals spoke volumes about the course of life they had chosen to pursue with the few short years God had granted to them. God opened the Book of Proverbs and showed the world the truths contained in His sacred Word.

All three men, President Ford, James Brown and Saddam Hussein had choices in their destiny. Today they have all three stood in front of the God of this universe with those choices unveiled and judged.

God allowed us to see three men yesterday.

President Gerald Ford, a man whose faith in God and service to his country was eulogized by many speakers during the solemn and dignified ceremonies which marked his passing. A man of character and integrity, not perfect but made righteous by his faith in Jesus Christ. It was in this righteousness he lived out his life as a servant to his fellowman and his country. Great men and dignitaries attended his funeral. All coming to pay respect and honor to a man most deserving.

James Brown also was eulogized in a funeral ceremony befitting his life choices. There was blaring rock music, gyrating bodies, costumes, and great sensual displays of revelry to portray the contribution this man had given through his life to his fellowman. He lived a life of drugs, alcohol, immorality and rock music. He was heralded the father of Rap music and the inspiration of Michael Jackson's greatness. His funeral with all of its theatrics was befitting the excess of waste his life portrayed.

Then we had the gruesome hanging of Saddam Hussein. His death as gory as his life. A brutal murderer and dictator hung by his neck and secreted away in the middle of the night to an unmarked grave. Thousands of Iraqis celebrated his death for through his life he had brought untold misery and death to many. A man so wicked that it seemed the world breathed a collective sigh of relief at the pronouncement of his death.

Three men, three men who left their mark on the entire world, three famous men. All three have now stood before their Creator to answer for the choices they made in their life as you and I will someday.

Gerald Ford's life exemplifies the nobility of choosing to walk in harmony with The Creator through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Redeemer.

James Brown chose to walk in the flesh. His life's work glorified the flesh and his death magnified the flesh.

Saddam Hussein chose evil. He was a narcissistic megalomaniac. His life glorified evil and his death was gruesome.

This all played out in one day. God painted a great picture for mankind to see. I pray people got His message.

Bubba's Bike ($$$) Trail To Nowhere

Bike Route Signs are like Motor Homes, until you own one, you never notice they're around. Once you own one, they're everywhere!

In this case, let's follow just some of the Bike Route Signs around the City and see what they mean to you.

My guess on this issue is that Comegys, (aka Bubba) works for SHA, State Highway Administration. THEY BUILD ROADS!

Now, I wonder if the FEDS know that 90% of the bike routes in Salisbury are used for parking lots for cars on the side of the road and are not truly designated as "Bike Routes?"

My guess is that Bubba has found a way to get grant money from the Feds to pay for more road repairs and the slick way to do it is claim they are bike routes. If you think about it, when is the last time you actually saw a paving company paving any of the roads in the City of Salisbury?

They need to create new signs that say, watch out for cars, not bikes.

Would You Like To Claim This Brand New Cell Phone That I Found Yesterday?

Yesterday I met up with a Salisbury Police Detective and two Officers to walk the Downtown area and get a detailed look at the Graffiti throughout the area.

While we were walking around I happened to notice a strange piece of wood on the ground that just didn't look like it belonged there. We were talking about it when I bent over to pick it up and low and behold, there was a brand new cell phone under it!

OK, as unusual as that might be, just as I was about to pick up the phone I immediately stopped because I noticed a baggy with it. One of the Officers wondered why I had stopped and when I pointed out there was more to it than meets the eye, he picked it up and found drugs in the baggy.

So IF the phone is yours, I'd let it go and buy another one. It turns out, the owner of this phone tried bringing it into Court and they refused to let him do so. He found an alley to put it in and went into Court. When he returned the phone was gone and so were his drugs.

Dee, Dee, Deeee Award #2 of the year!

Rumor Has It Mike Lewis Has Hired Gary Baker As His Second In Command

This has not been confirmed.

THEY'RE BACK!

While I was patrolling Downtown this morning with one Detective and two Officers we came across two more fresh signatures. Granted, these were not up high on buildings but they were fresh and probably done with markers this time. IMO, it looks like these guys are running scared and the little stuff will be easy to clean up.

Guess Who???????

The paparazzi have nothing on me!!!!

I Stole This Sign To Put Next To My Building

I'd like to see one of those SOB's try to put more graffiti on my building! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

"You've Been Blogged"

Well, we're off to an early start for the year where I'm looking for the Idiot Of The Year Award and here's candidate #1. Perhaps they should look in the lingerie department next to Mike Dunn?

More Evidence That They're Back!

As I was patrolling the Downtown Plaza this evening I came across some brand new evidence that these guys were climbing yet another wall, grabbed onto this gutter and it completely broke off and fell to the ground. This was not there yesterday and as the Officer agreed that someone definitely was up there, we saw no further evidence they were there at the time we were there.

That being said, here's what's mind boggling. I was explaining to this Officer who has been on night duty on the Plaza area, NO ONE TOLD HIM ANYONE WAS PAINTING GRAFFITI ON BUILDINGS DOWNTOWN!

He went on to explain this was his last night on the night shift but he had no clue and was amazed how much damage was actually done. This Officer was a fine young man, VERY interested in what was going on. So much so that he and I walked the entire Downtown area together while I showed him all the spots they had hit!

Look Folks, that's just derelict of Chief Webster NOT to inform ALL Officers working at the Salisbury Police Department that such massive criminal activity is and was going on! Chief, that just proved to me you do NOT give a sh*t about what's going on and I couldn't care less what anyone else says, you need to go!

These young Officers deserve far better leadership and I hope they get it right away. There's just no excuse for this kind of incompetence.

Red Net Alert!!!!

Debbie Campbell will be on the Bill Reddish Show at 7:40 a.m. Friday Morning.

Major Breaking News! Stuff You Won't See In The Daily Times!

I have it from a very reliable source that they have overruled this order and there will now be a hearing postponed till Monday,April 9 2007.

Fire away "Dirty Dozen!"

The mall stands and remains standing as a tribute to Barrie and Mike's complete ineptitude. It joins the Road to Nowhere, the WWTP, the graffiti-stained buildings, the run-down downtown as a visual reminder for all citizens that Barrie and Mike are completely incapable of dealing with issues. The mall stands because Barrie and Mike are incapable of taking the steps necessary to tear it down. Long stand the Mall!!! DO NOT TEAR IT DOWN!!!

Also, don't forget that Barrie and Mike blamed the Petitioners appeal for the reason the mall was not torn down!!! WRONG! She's such an Idiot!

Poll Question

Do you think graffiti should be photographed and displayed to bring attention to the issue or not shown and or exposed even in writing to the public?
	Photograph and display
	Do not show or expose

The Tables Have Turned!!!!!!

Shanie Shields has made a "loud and clear" statement she wants nothing to do with Debbie Campbell.

Since the beginning of her time on the City Council, Shanie Shields always sat right next to Debbie Campbell on the opposite side of the table at all work sessions, (I have pictures to prove it). She recently made the move across the table to join Lynn Cathcart and Gary Comegys.

Lynn Cathcart was recently heard stating she couldn't deal with Debbie Campbell any more and she doesn't have to like her.

Ladies & Gentlemen, some people go into Foster Care to help children but most go into Foster Care for the money. IMO, Shanie Shields is into being a Council Member for the money because she sure can't come up with a single good idea and she most definitely hasn't helped her constituents in her community. It may be a small amount of money to you and I but to others it's a great way to bring in additional income. Oh yeah, there is a Fire Department coming her way but it wasn't her idea.

It's political suicide for Shanie Shields to do what she's doing but that's OK, she needs to be replaced as well. Unless she starts doing something constructive she'll just keep tipping the candy jar and enjoying the part time pay.

Where Are Your "Fearless" Leaders Now?

On Wednesday, Dec. 27th 2006, Gangs and Graffiti Artists went on a massive rampage destroying the Downtown area in the City of Salisbury.

The Police Department was called in and took a report of such said Graffiti on Thursday morning and you heard NOTHING at all from The Daily Times about it until yesterday.

Here we sit some 8 days later and we've heard NO Press Conference from Barrie Tilghman & Chief Webster, yet these are YOUR leaders?

I see how it is. Call a Press Conference because the Mayor believes there are nasty things being said on local Blogs about her and because she couldn't get the FBI to shut us down! Yes Taxpayers, that makes a whole lot of sense. Cover up SERIOUS issues and for those who don't believe in and or support Barrie Tilghman, call a Press Conference and try to shut them down.

When will the citizens of Salisbury come to learn they truly have no leader at all? You take the bull by the horns with this graffiti situation and you face it head on. You COMFORT those taxpayers who are paying literally MILLIONS of tax dollars to have the comfort of being protected. Hiding and running from this reality clearly shows that these two Idiots needs to get the hell out of the City of Salisbury before the next Mayor is the leader of one of these Gangs!

Now keep in mind, Barrie would love to see the values of these properties go way down in order for her and the FOB's to buy low and redevelop them and sell them when someone else actually does their jobs, (meaning the Chief & Mayor) and things actually get better. It's a great strategy but will everyone fall for it?

Either Barrie Tilghman go public with the largest crime that has ever hit the City of Salisbury or she needs to throw in the towel! That's right Folks, there's never been a bigger crime in the City of Salisbury as it would be my estimation that the clean up could cost more than $50,000.00.

Keep in mind, they did nothing wrong at the Zoo with the illegal pipes, yet the MDE forced them to cap the pipes and shut down those exhibits until they were run into the City's system. The liner at the WWTP was guaranteed for 30 years, then 20 years, then 30 days! They never filed for numerous permits, yet they're engineers, they shouldn't know any better? The list goes on and on and on. We've done nothing wrong and as long as The Daily Times covers it up, no one will know any better.

Chief, you are to "Protect & Serve!" HELLO? It doesn't get any bigger than this! Let's hope not, anyway! We're waiting?

DON'T Let Anyone Fool You! Some Of The Graffiti IS Gang Related!

Although I'm starting to believe "some" of what G®@pHïX is telling everyone, some of it is NOT accurate.

If you'll notice the recent photo of grafitti that went up over the Holiday Weekend, notice the crown in the bottom left corner of their markings. It's a four point crown, which is Gang related and somewhat serious.

Although Officials may want everyone to believe much of what was done was "Taggers" and not Gangs, this is absolutely not true. There were Gang related territorial markings placed all over Downtown.

Granted, I'll be the very first to admit I'm no expert at all when it comes to Gangs. However, I am learning and I am "listening" to what I'm being told by "experts." There is plenty of reason and evidence to be alarmed Folks.

Numbers Soared Yesterday!

While The Daily Times enjoyed much higher sales than normal yesterday, Salisbury News was breaking records of their own. With 5,316 hits in just one day, somebody is doing something right! ;-)

The story about the massive graffiti was not a "sleeper story" after all and we watched even their on line comments soar on the subject and it looks like not too many people were very happy they had held this story off for some 5 days or so.

Nevertheless, Salisbury News is growing by the day. Who'da ever thunk it? Thanks for all the support Folks!

A Warning To Delmarve Dealings About Bubba's Bike Trail

I'd be careful about what you're supporting if I were you. The Salisbury Zoo started out with a $18,200,000.00 Master Plan, now it's more than $36,000,000.00 and they assured "everyone" not a penny would come from taxpayers. Guess what G.A., they're not even finished with their first project and they're already asking the Council for $500,000.00 for an animal services building. Did I forget to mention not a penny was coming from taxpayers?

Bubba can claim all of this will come from grants, I don't buy it one bit. This is how these guys get these projects started and when the grants run out they throw it on the taxpayers to finish it off.

I'd also like to know another thing from Bubba. What research has he done that shows bicycle sales have hit an all time high for this kind of demand? I haven't seen a thing proving this is the trend. There's more interest in paintball and skate board parks than there is in bicycles these days.

So cut the campaign BS and get out there and start cleaning up the graffiti. That might impress the citizens more than another loophole like the major fiasco Jim Rapp and Ron Alessi have going at the Salisbury Zoo. Spending $36,000,000.00 on a Zoo that is 100% in a flood plane zone, give me a break! Idiots!

Reagan's Run Development

More living proof that the County Council is a NEW County Council willing to listen and participate. Citizens were correct when they clearly stated, "we learned a lot here today." This came after the Council decided they were not going to let the citizens make any comment at this past meeting and once citizen made it very clear that none of them had been notified about the meeting held that day.

One citizen stated, since you never sent us a letter, we may not have been here to listen to all this testimony and it would be a shame on the Council's behalf because the citizens had learned so much.

Mr. Sharma asked the Council a good three times if they'd like him to handle it differently from here on out and inform the citizens to attend these meetings, (work sessions) before the Council Meeting. Mr. Cannon finally agreed it was the right thing to do.

Mike Dunn should be handcuffed to a chair every time the County Council meets. He could learn a thing or two, that's for sure.

It should be noted, take a good look at the photos in the first picture above. They plan on a community septic system for this development, yet it's constantly flooded with standing water. There's no place for the sewage to drain, literally. This is NOT the place you want to set up as a pilot example for something new like a community system! Then again, I'm confident the Council will shoot this one down.
