Salisbury Welcomes Gangs















If you've been anywhere near the Old Salisbury Mall lately this is what you get a taste of.

The Chief of Police certainly is not and obviously cannot handle the crime in the City of Salisbury.

It's time for some new leadership and face facts. How much longer do the residents near the Old Mall have to put up with this mess?

I know I'm sick and tired of taking pictures of it and it's spreading throughout the City like wildfire. I came to learn today that there is a group assigned to make sure that all graffiti is removed within a 24 hour period and the most obvious spot has been ignored for quite some time.

Oh well, it's your City Folks. Do something about it or enjoy the art work.

Let's Talk About Gangs & Crime In Wicomico County











Ladies & Gentlemen, not only is this graffiti Gang related, it's calling one Gang out for war. This is located on the bridge that crosses over the Wicomico River near the Ramada Inn on Rt. 13. How the Mayor and Public Works haven't been made aware of this is beyond me, (I'm confident they are 100% aware of it) but they chose NOT to clean it up and Chief Webster has no clue who to go after for such a crime.

While we're on the word crime, get this! According to the Maryland Uniform Crime Report recently published, 66% of all crimes in Worcester County closed with convictions.

ARE YOU READY?

In Wicomico County, they were only able to close 22% of all their arrests into convictions! Now what does that tell you about the Police Departments in Wicomico County? Don't even think of trying to pass the buck onto the States Attorney's Office because that's simply not the problem here. The problem here is very young and inexperienced Officers not doing their jobs properly and this is why there is a desperate need for a strong change in Wicomico County.

These are very serious numbers Folks and numbers that cannot be taken lightly. This tells me you can make a better living as a criminal in Wicomico County than an honest taxpaying Citizen! Get this, there's no taxes on stolen good too! The example is, come to Wicomico County and do your crime because there's a very strong chance you'll not get caught and or prosecuted!

James Gillespie Is One Interesting And Talented Man!





Did you know that James is one of those kids who could sit at a piano and start playing tunes without ever having lessons or ever reading music? James didn't start learning to read music until his Senior year of High School and was actually writing his own pieces of music that year.

Well, last night was a treat like none other. James took to the piano like it was an extension of his fingers. He played to a crowd for more than an hour in which we were spoiled rotten and thoroughly entertained. You didn't dare speak a word the whole time because we found ourselves so glued to his talent.

This guy is very special Folks! He is a devoted Christian who could serve the County for many years to come with some fantastic ideas. As a matter of fact, some of the ideas he's been suggesting are now being put into place by the current Clerk because James ideas are the right way of doing things and it's about time.

I have read how much people like the gentleman who's currently in this position but it's time to open your minds to progress. They have fallen way behind these past 18 years and James has the vision and willpower to make the right moves and make things more efficient. Please consider a vote for this young man and by all means please try to simply meet him one time. Once you do I can honestly tell you that you'll be sold on him from that moment forward.

A Lawsuit Just Waiting To Happen!


Come on Barrie, aren't you embarrassed by the lack of management and true care about how the City looks? This isn't just careless, this is reckless and it's in the busiest part of the City. Honest to God Folks, the Bronx looks better than this! The City is in a very sad state of disrepair and I can assure you it will only be fixed after this woman is out of Office because she has spent every penny the City had and there is no left over money. Rather than making the Zoo raise the $65,000.00 for the drawings for a building they'll never be able to build anyway, someone should have walked the main streets in the City first before they chose to throw good money after bad money! The next thing we'll hear is that the City must help pay the $2,000,000.00 to build the building because the Zoo can't raise the funds.

The Junkyard Tower


Not Your Ordinary Eastern Shore Crab Fiest


Charles Jannace and I were invited to the Downtown Plaza last night for a Crab Fiest Fundraiser. As we get to the front door we saw these boxes and thought, hmmmmmmmm?

After just getting over food poisoning and seeing all the flies hanging around these boxes with crabs inside we decided to simply see if Ron Alessi was going to show up. If so, we'd stick around. Unfortunately for us Ron never showed up and we decided to fulfill our previous commitments with our children.

Why Don't You Like Me Joe? :-(


As I am truly trying to find a source to have the Monday Night City Council Meeting uploaded onto the Internet, wait until you see Mike Dunn almost throw up after Mr. Taylor tried brown nosing the Mayor and defending her on the Old Mall.

I ran into Randy yesterday morning as I was heading into one of my new buildings on the Plaza. You know, the one right next door to Randy's. Anyhow, I explained my position about the Junk Yard location and he replied, well, the Plant Business is only a 10 week long operation. OK, I'm a Dee, Dee, Deeee! I'll fall for that BS! NOT!

Nevertheless, Randy seemed very concerned that I change my opinion of him because his wife works really hard and deserves better. Randy, I have never mentioned your wife and more than likely I never will. I have never met her and I have absolutely no reason to dislike her in any way. Notice how I did not bring in my wife into the conversation in the attempt to make me look better though?

Clearly though, your outburst last week at the City Council Meeting brought probably 90% of the Citizens of the City over the top with you and you were kissing some ass like I've never seen before in order to secure your future with the Mayor and the City. That's just your style and that's what makes the two of us so different. I hope what you think works for you is successful and you get what you want down the road. Just don't expect me to be like you or respect you because I hate ass kissers!

I Want To Be The Next Mayor Of Ocean City!


Ocean City is NOT the final resting place for Politicians! Ocean City is one of the greatest money making resorts on the East Coast and this gentleman is by far the last human being the Eastern Shore would ever want as a Mayor.

What would crack me up is an actual vote count! I'd love this man to see the handfull of votes he'd get running for Mayor so he'd start shutting his big trap and go into a peaceful retirement.

Ron Alessi, meet your twin.

Mike Lewis Gets Around


Curb Appeal











If you live and work in the "white" section of the City you get nice new curbing. That's all I'll say about this.

Downtown Plaza Shopping


He may look like a nice dog and as most dogs never growl at me personally, I was greeted by this dog with such a growl, the owner had to step in between us while on his phone asking ME to step back, as if I was doing something wrong.

Tell me Barrie, are there permits to have your DOG in commercial retail space like this?

The Hardest Working Couple In The County!


Republican James Gillespie and his Bride are everywhere I turn. Shaking hands with everyone they meet, waving to passer bye's and thanking each and every person that simply came out to vote last week.

No matter what anyone says, these two people are a pleasure to know and this Family wishes them the very best future one could have. Can you tell I like this kid?

James is running for the Clerk of the Courts Office.

Bob Culver Congratulates Charles Jannace


Former candidate for County Executive Bob Culver, (today) congratulated Charles Jannace on his application to run as a "Write In Candidate" against Alessi and Pollitt.

Oh things are getting more and more interesting Folks!

Salisbury Fire Department Rescue Vehicle Sinks On New Property!

















It's true Folks! When they had the ground breaking ceremony they parked a Rescue Vehicle there and within minutes the Unit had sunk into the ground so badly they had to hire one of those huge wreckers to come out and bail them out!

You didn't read a word of this in the Daily Times, even though they were there to cover the event. Barrie Tilghman and her Flying Monkey's have to be looking like huge fools right about now. It got covered up for a short period of time but the control by scaring people over all these years has finally worn off and everyone is now letting the cat out of the bag about anything and everything.

The pictures above clearly show where the Unit sunk and they used some of the dirt they brought in to make it look like there was dirt on the property, (other than the sludge muck that's actually in the ground there) to fill in the holes where the vehicle sunk. Nice try Barrie! LMAO!

Which Way Did It Go?


























I know 99.9% of you have not been back behind the WWTP where you can see tons and tons and tons of this debris scattered over acres and acres of land. This is some of the material you have NOT been reading about throughout the MDE's investigation on the WWTP.

It is my understanding that the Solid Waste Division of the MDE is going to demand the City remove this construction debris that has been illegally dumped on that property and the costs could be somewhere around $60,000,000.00 to do so. You heard me right, $60,000,000.00!

Heck, the new staging area for all the construction supplies at the WWTP is built on this exact material, yet John Jacobs stated they haven't been dumping there in years! You talk about a man who is completely full of sh_t! I have pictures of it John and you're lying! As a matter of fact, I even have witnesses that will testify that after the last building, that land used to drop straight down some 20 to 30 feet to the river and now it's a huge leveled out area where you can drive vehicles.

So what I'd like to know is, how much did the City get paid to dump the old blacktop on old Rt. 50 and where did it go?

I decided to add the third photo at the WWTP staging area where John Jacobs claims they haven't dumped in years. Dee, Dee, Deeee! There's proof you fool. You should be terminated immediately just for lying to the Public! Remember, this staging area is new, Jacobs stated they haven't dumped there is years and the photo clearly proves the man is a flat out liar! The pictures DO NOT LIE!

Will The REAL Mr. Cannon Please Stand Up?

Thank You!!!!!!



















For those of you who came to Break Time Billiards tonight, Charles and I thank you. It was a pleasure putting so many faces to names we have been enjoying for such a long time now.

Since I was shooting Pool so much I really didn't get much of a chance to take many pictures but I have to say, I truly enjoyed a wonderful evening.

As for Iyeska, yeah, you saw me shoot pool all right. Is that all you have to say?

We look forward to the next event and sorry for the short notice but this whole thing is quite new and the turn out was unbelievable.

Come Meet Charles Jannace Tonight At Break Time Billiards!

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Charles and I have secured "Break Time Billiards" this evening between 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

If you'd truly like to get an up close opportunity to speak to Charles one on one about issues, we'd love to meet with you. This does in fact include Ron Alessi as well, if you're listening?

Charles is not afraid to be addressed and he will not skirt around the questions like other candidates are doing. While you're at it, "IF" you think your good enough to beat an Old Pro at a game of Pool, bring it on! However, you will have to sign a release stating you can never brag about beating me, (should you be so lucky to do so). LOL

When you walk in the front door, make a right and we'll be in the back of the front row.

Did The Daily Times Purposely Miss The Jannace Announcement?


Yesterday, after Charles Jannace decided to actually file, I started calling Joe Carmean at The Daily Times in order to inform them that Charles was in fact serious and was in fact going to run.

I received multiple answering machine messages saying he wasn't there and not once did the receptionist state that he might not be in his office, he was a way from his desk, he was in a meeting, let alone he was on vacation!

Last night I ran into Joe G. from the Daily Times, (a nice guy, mind you) and he informed me that Joe was on vacation and that's why I couldn't get through to him.

I explained how I had called numerous times, (at least 5 to 7 times) without any success and in my opinion this was extremely unprofessional. Or, Dee, Dee, Deeeee!

As I opened my paper early this morning there was no mention of Charles running for anything. I'm sorry Folks but here we go again. This is exactly the reason why Charles wants to bash the crap out of The Daily Times as well, because they're run by Barrie Tilghman.

Can you truly imagine how furious the Mayor is this morning, let alone Ron Alessi? The man has no chance now! Honest to God Folks, I am getting slammed with e-mail messages telling me Charles Jannace has their votes! I read one this morning stating one family is all Democrats and we have the two vites that household can and will offer. I'm getting telephone calls like there's no tomorrow. People wanting to make donations, volunteers, whatever it takes to get Alessi out of there!

Say Goodnight Gracie!

THE BRO

Welcome To Harlem!






















No, it's not your eyes. These street signs are barely legible!

Isn't it amazing how the Mayor lives in such a plush neighborhood with nice landscaping, brand new street signs and proper lighting?

If "ANY" of you think you deserve any less than she has, you're wrong! Your tax dollars are probably even more valuable than hers because there are more of you condensed into small lots actually paying more taxes. Because they are smaller it seems like less but when you calculate it in the end they're making more money off of you than they're getting in the wealthier neighborhoods.

So demand you get your rights. Cleaner streets! Brand new signs! Better Police protection! Tell this BS artist of a Mayor she better get off her rear end and start doing her job, (taking care of the taxpayers) and leave the developers alone for a while. In the very least it will look good on her, "acting" like she cares for once.

Welcome To The REAL Salisbury!






















No matter how much the Mayor and Chief of Police want to hide how bad the drugs and crime are in Salisbury, all you need to do is walk the streets in the main residential parts of Salisbury any more and here's what you're going to see.

Just outside this home, (after School lets out) you are NOT allowed to drive your vehicle down this road, (Carrollton Street) because the children have taken over the road. They created a basketball court out of it and "if you dare" drive down the street and break up their game they'll stone your car.

If The Daily Times would like some directions to these neighborhoods I'd be happy to assist. If you'd like some protection while there, I charge for that. Nevertheless, this is yet another reason the Daily Times is falling apart. They tell a pampered news and not a reality news. Pampered news sells more papers and makes the City look clean. My kind of news may be somewhat hard to accept at first but it's reality and in the end holds people accountable to "clean up the City" rather than sweeping it under the rug.

Is this how you truly want to raise your children Folks? Just because you don't live in this neighborhood, know this isn't Church Street and within 2 years it will be. Yeah Chief, you're doing a bang up job there. Charles Jannace is going to change this and IMO you're history!

A Vote For Jannace Is A Vote For Justice For All!




















Here it is Folks, just like I told you. Charles Jannace did in fact do what he said he'd do and now Alessi is calling him names and proving once again Alessi has no clue how to be a Gentleman. Alessi clearly stated that Charles Jannace is imature on 47 news tonight.

Come on Ron, I thought you stated you don't go over the top and you handle things calmly and like a gentleman? That is what you stated in the Daily Times in your Letter to the Editor, isn't it?

You're a HUGE liar Ron Alessi and if it takes an honorable man like Charles Jannace to bring out the truth about you, so be it. I happen to know the control freak that you are and how big a baby you become when things don't go your way. You have lied long enough. Your lawsuits need to come out into the open and guess what Folks, the MSM never knew about them. They were amazed to hear about them today in different interviews and I can assure you now, Kenny Beck is digging deep to bring the truth out to the Citizens of Wicomico County.

You're going down Alessi because you're a liar and a cheat.

Long Live The Blogs!

Vote Charles Jannace For County Executive!!!

I know I'm behind in exposing the latest and biggest information about Charles Jannace filing as a write in candidate for County Executive but I was with him most of the day and I haven't had access to a computer.

As a matter of fact, I have numerous pictures I'll be posting later of today's event. Blogger won't seem to let me post them at the moment. Nevertheless this is for real Folks. The man wants to take votes away from Ron Alessi and feels 100% confident he can do a far better job than Alessi and I agree with him.

This should bring the Citizens out to these forums and debates and for once everyone will see what sincerity means within Charles Jannace. More to come.........

Red Net Alert!

At 8:30 a.m. a friend of mine was driving into work. She drove down Spring Street and turned onto Carlton where she immediately saw a young boy slamming two puppy pitbulls into the concrete. One was running away and he'd chase it, catch it and slam it into the concrete. This is no joke Folks!

911 was called immediately and they told her there was nothing they could do but refer her to Animal Control. If "ANY" of you happen to drive in that direction today, (just to keep an eye out to make sure this doesn't happen again, of course) after you turn onto Carlton from Spring it was the third house on the right.

Now what this child was doing home at this time is the first question? Secondly, why can't the Police respond to such an emergency? Apparently this family received regular visits as the female is chained up with no cover throughout the year.

I was going to stop into the County Council Meeting but instead I think I'll go make my own visit to this neighborhood. Aparently this child is only around 8 years old!

What Is Protocol?


Let's say you're a Fire Truck. Let's say you open a new Station down the street and you get a call that the Mayor's Office is on fire. Do you race to get there and squish these beautiful little creatures or do you stop and wait for them to cross the road?

I know the Mayors choice but I don't give a damn what she thinks any more. (I've expressed that in the past where she called a Press Conference, if you'll recall) I say, get out and pet the little guys and call in Jim Rapp to rescue the Mayor.

God Works In Mysterious Ways


Golly Gee Willikers, can you believe it Aunt Bea?

Could the message be, the man really needs to get away from running that Zoo and stop allowing so many animals to die off each year, (up to 200 a year)?

Could it be someone can replace him and actually make people accountable for doing such a lousy job?

There has to be something meaningful as to why he'll go to the next level. Yeah, I've thought of corruption but right now there's this peace in my heart hoping someone will force this SOB out of the Zoo and finally give those animals a chance at a decent life/future.

However, I just became a Democrat out of nowhere too.

Bingo Benefit Held At Pittsville Fire Department



Even though the FOP was holding a big event of its own last night in Ocean City, Mike Lewis was asked to attend and it was a part of his schedule after the Pittsville Town Meeting tonight.

That was until we learned there was a benefit being held at the Pittsville Fire Department for a wonderful 9 year old young man named Blaine Cheeseman who lives in Pittsville. Blaine has been undergoing treatments for bone cancer over the past 5 months and had shown up just before we arrived after just receiving treatments. He was a bit tired but very grateful for the huge crowd there.

Mike introduced all of us and completely dismissed any thought of heading into Ocean City so we could spend time and money participating in a far more worthy cause, (IMO). Pittsville may not have the greatest name for a Town but let me assure you, the Folks living there sure do make up the difference! I have said it for many, many years, Pittsville is the best sleeper Town on the entire Eastern Shore!

Please keep Blaine in your thoughts & prayers and don't forget, he loves anything John Deere.
