The Fat Man Told By Authorities To Take Down His Posts


Jonathan Taylor has been told to take down his Posts about our Family Members, especially children.

I Told You Something Was Up, This Just In About Gary Comegys

"He actually backed a candidate for mayor that has been busted three times by the state ethics board for double dipping. The second time he was suspended without pay for 5 days. They let Gary off the hook his third time around stealing hours from state and city taxpayers.

On one occasion he was attending a city council work session, however his state time sheet indicated that he worked overtime for the state? He was caught doing it, busted red handed, why was he allowed to get retirement? An investigation may be needed to investigate the ethics board if this is how they respond to people who steal taxpayer dollars."

WARNING! Telephone Scam

THE PUBLIC IS WARNED TO BEWARE OF A POSSIBLE TELEPHONE SCAM OCCURING IN THE AREA. A LOCAL RESIDENT REPORTED TO MARYLAND STATE POLICE TODAY THAT THEY RECEIVED A CALL FROM A MAN IDENTIFYING HIMSELF AS DAVID BROOK.

BROOK INFORMED THE VICTIM THAT THEY HAD WON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THE VICTIM WANTED TO RECEIVE THE MONEY PRIVATELY OR WITH THE MEDIA INVOLVED. BROOK ALSO STATED THAT HE HAD ARMED GUARDS FOR THE MONEY.

WHEN CONTACTED BY MARYLAND STATE POLICE, BROOK WAS UNCOOPERATIVE AND IT WAS READILY APPARENT THAT HE WAS NOT A LEGITIMATE BUSINESSMAN. THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN PASSED ALONG TO HOMELAND SECURITY INTELLIGENCE DIVISION FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

THE MARYLAND STATE POLICE WANT TO REMIND THE PUBLIC TO PLEASE EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WITH ANY TELEPHONE SOLICITOR. DO NOT GIVE ANY PRIVATE INFORMATION. DOCUMENT THE NUMBER THEY ARE CALLING FROM AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY.

Louise Smith To QUIT City Council?

According to sources, Muir Boda was in a conversation with one of our people today where they said to Muir, we heard Louise Smith say if Jim Ireton wins this election she was quitting the Council. Muir replied, "no, Louise Smith said that if Jim Ireton, Debbie Campbell and Cynthia Polk won the election she would resign."

Now I had heard from several sources that Louise Smith was going to resign/quit, (what's the difference) if Jim Ireton won but now we have confirmed that Louise Smith, (from one of her own people) says she's throwing in the towel.

So what's the deal Louise Smith. Are you going to do us the pleasure of stepping down? You are useless any more. No doubt Tilghman and Comegys are praying to save their political lives in the hopes of Shanie winning her seat so they can vote Gary Comegys in as Council President and reject just about anything and everything brought forth from the new Mayor to the City Council.

So here's my plan with Salisbury News. Should Shanie Shields win, let's do a Recall on all three of them while everything is still fresh. The majority of people have now seen people want change and if we get enough signatures we can shame these three right out of Office.

Your response will determine if it's worth it or not.

Vote Totals So Far


Please Lord, I will never eat another piece of chocolate again as long as I live.

Mayor-Elect To Participate In Easter Egg Hunt And Celebration


Salisbury--Mayor-Elect Jim Ireton will participate in the Johnson's Lake

Neighborhood Annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday April 11, 2009. The Easter Egg hunt will begin at 11:30 AM and is being held on Philadelphia Avenue in Salisbury. Dyeing of Easter Eggs, relay races, and refreshments are planned.

"It is with great pride that my first engagement, as Mayor-Elect, happens in my neighborhood. The annual Easter celebration is great fun for our residents. Susan Carey, our neighborhood association president, always makes these celebrations such fun for kids and adults alike. I went to kindergarten, in the 1970's, across the street from where we have this celebration, and am always humbled and inspired by the memories I have of this neighborhood. I'd like to wish the City Council, our university students, our seniors, and all our residents a peaceful and restful holiday." Ireton said.

High School ROTC Instructor Arrested For Sexual Assault Against Student



Seaford – The Delaware State Police have arrested a 49-year-old Lincoln man for several charges stemming from an inappropriate relationship he maintained with a 16-year-old Seaford girl. The man, Timothy J. McDorman, was employed as an ROTC instructor at Seaford High School and the victim was a student of his.

The investigation began yesterday when the teen victim’s mother notified authorities of an alarming text message she located on her daughter’s cellular telephone that morning. The message clearly indicated the sender was involved in sexual activity with her daughter. The mother was able to determine that the sender was Mr. McDorman.

School officials and police were immediately notified and an ensuing investigation revealed that McDorman did in fact send the sexually explicit text message to the victim. Additionally, investigators learned the two were involved in a relationship since October ’08 that involved the victim sending several nude photographs of her to McDorman’s cellular telephone. The relationship continued and in March of this year, the pair had engaged in sexual intercourse.

At the conclusion of the investigation, detectives have identified 15 sexually explicit photographs that were received by McDorman depicting the victim unclothed. McDorman was arrested and charged with 15 counts of using a Computer to Unlawfully Depict a Child Engaging in a Prohibited Sexual Act (F), 1 count of Rape Fourth Degree (F), and 15 counts of Possession of Child Pornography (F). He was released after posting a $100,000 secured bail.

Questions regarding McDorman’s employment with the Seaford School District can be directed to Ms. Bonnie Johnson. She can be reached at 302.629.4587 ext 268.

Pohanka "Pays It Forward"



Dear Joe,

Pohanka “Pays it forward” is working! Our customers designated $23,350 to over 90 local non-profit agencies in the month of March. We are getting some incredible feedback from customers and non-profits alike. This is only the first month of this program and our goal is to keep helping the community with this program however; we can only do that if individuals and organization reach out to board members, supporters, employees, friends and family to support Pohanka Automotive Group.

The Pay it Forward program has been a dream of Pohanka of Salisburys Vice President, Sandy Fitzgerald - Angello for some time. Her vision is to inspire other businesses to do the same and keep our local economy and good will thriving. All of our business and efforts to do business are kept exclusively local. Pohanka’s paying if forward with money that would normally be spent on advertising outside of our primary Market. Our customers are choosing from a list of over 120 local non-profit agencies and can write in an agency not on the list. The idea is to keep donating to nonprofits but we can only do that if these organizations are supporting us as well. These non profits and their supporters need to be our Marketing team and spread the word about the Pohanka “Pays it forward” program. If their supporters, family or friends are in the Market for a vehicle, now is the time to buy.

Joe, I am sure that you understand that we have to inspire commerce. Pohanka Pays it Forward just started and will continue but we have to inspire people to at least give us a chance to earn their business locally.

Here is the March list of non-profits we have given money to!

Welcome To Gordy Tiger Mart, Can I Check Your Oil, Wink, Wink


Being jobless sure does suck, so where does one turn? I know, my good old buddy Gordo! Gary Comegys will take on a position in the near future greasing his hands in yet another way for the first time in his life, at a service station. I guess they figured with all those Comegys signs at every location, he must be good for business now.

Comegys' experience will serve him well as mayor

I had the opportunity to work with Gary Comegys on the Salisbury City Council during the final two tears of my term on the council. He was always able to focus on the big picture and make decisions based on the best interests of the citizens. There is a growing need for us to make tough decisions as to how to allocate our limited resources while continuing to shore up the city's infrastructure. This is his strong suit; he has lobbied his fellow council members for important projects and state officials to bring funding to Salisbury.

Comegys works well with both citizens and his fellow council members. He is not hesitant to meet with citizens who disagree with his positions. He is always looking for common ground to advance individual neighborhoods' goals. I watched him each year review the budget once the mayor submitted her proposed budget to the City Council. He has worked hard to lobby for fiscal responsibility, at the same time systematically raising public safety salaries to maintain our officers' ranks.

Comegys understands what the City Council is supposed to do and he has done his job well. Now, he is seeking the opportunity to move across the hall and guide the administrative branch of the government. His experience and his hard work for the city will serve him well as our next mayor.
