Response To Daily Times On Crime
Friends,
The situation of crime is an issue close to my heart. I lived in Salisbury during my collegiate career. I was able to earn an outstanding education from Salisbury University and represent my Alma Matter as a four year varsity athlete in two sports. Salisbury was a great fit and had some of my most fond memories ever. Unfortunately while living in Salisbury I had my most horrendous experiences ever.
My first three years in Salisbury, 2002 to the beginning of 2005, we had no reservations about walking around Salisbury nor was there a talk of crime. Occasionally someone would get jumped and that was all you hear about. Things drastically changed for the worse spring of 2005. While living in Cedar Crossing, a.k.a. “The New Zoo”, off of Onley I had my house broken into, I was at my house when a man was shot and killed at the Old Zoo which is right next to the development, had numerous female neighbors wake up to strange men in their house, and my neighbors houses were broken into. Needless to say I felt a bit uneasy when school was out because I was one of the few in the development because of work and training.
While at my friends’ apartment on Shiloh Street, spring 2005 I believe, we were watching a movie when we heard 5 quick pops in a row and minutes later SPD rolled up to the scene. A man from another apt. a door down came out and shot up a parked car and the bullets went into a family’s house across the street.
One night leaving my girlfriend’s at the time UP apartment when she got back that Sunday from Thanksgiving and we were mugged at gunpoint during the mugging spree in 2006 while in bright lights and there were people returning to SU. These three were brash. Fortunately they were eventually caught and I thank all the law enforcement agencies who helped apprehend these thugs. What ended up making our stomachs curl even more was that we learned they were responsible for a murder stemming from a robbery across from Bennett. Talk about a close call.
For 21 years I went without a breeze of a crime coming near me and then all of a sudden I was immersed in crime. All of this happened while I was doing my normal routine in normal college areas during times that were not late. These are areas right next to the college except for the Shiloh incident and none are in rough areas or so I thought.
When reading the Daily Times article “Spate of crimes not a big trend Statistics rise and fall, but Salisbury remains a safe place” I was very much disappointed and angered that the Daily Time would print “damage control” to paint Salisbury as “safe”. Yes crime happens, but not normally at this rate or notoriety. It is an insult to all who have been victims of crime, especially violent ones, to say the area is safe because it is not being truthful about our situation. And I know too many who have been victims of crime including armed muggings.
What good end does this article accomplish? Nothing. What does this article bring to the table to solve the problem? Nothing. Does this article identify the problems? No. All it adds is an attempt to smoke screen the amount of crime. The crimes this year alone is not the reason for the cry that crime is up. The last few years have all added to the reoccurring theme of increased crime. We all know the long list of crimes.
A problem exists when people are doing their normal routine, at regular places, during normal times and are victims of crimes. How much more reasonable can you be than doing your daily routine responsibly? My friends who graduated before me cannot believe what has happened in Salisbury since they have left. I have friends who swore off Salisbury because of crime and that is unfortunate because there is still a lot of good in the area.
I do not feel as safe in Salisbury as I once did and will not regain that sense of security until the amount of crime is quelled. I do appreciate, as I saw first hand Saturday night, the amount of law enforcement presence out being proactive. That is what it is going to take to combat crime.
I ask the Daily Times to be more truthful in their commentaries on crime and paint an accurate picture of the status of Salisbury whether it is good or bad. That is the responsibility of the media especially on a topic that should never be political or partisan. We are talking not only about the safety of each individual but also the quality and health of our community as a whole. Only truthful discourse and dissemination of information and fact will lead to our ability to effectively respond to our situation.
To our law enforcement officers I hope that you are able to come home safe every night and I wish the best for everyone such that they never experience what I have gone through.

No Speak English
A Russian woman married a Canadian gentleman and they lived happily ever after in Toronto . The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but did manage to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries.
One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs. She didn't know how to put forward her request, and in desperation, clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. Her butcher got the message, and gave her the chicken legs.
Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn't know how to say it, and so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breasts. The butcher understood again, and gave her some chicken breasts.
On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store...

Yes We Are
(TRENTON, NJ – Feb. 20) This week, Attorney General Eric Holder said “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been and we -- I believe continue to be in too many ways essentially a nation of cowards.” Well, allow me to take the rare opportunity to agree with Mr. Holder. Sorry folks, yes we are.
When people are uneasy about a black person making jokes about black people in general (and it’s the tamest of jokes,) we have a problem. If ethnicity is brought up in conversation and someone tries to diffuse it by saying, “I do not see Black and White, I see American,” that’s a problem. When people are afraid of disagreeing with someone because of their color…for example, when some Whites disagreed with Obama and it had everything to with his policies is not his race. They were afraid to speak out because they would have been labeled a racist. In my case, I would have been labeled a sellout. That is a BIG problem.
When people say, “Why do we need to talk about having a dialogue on race, we always have this whenever something racial happens?” Complaining about talking about race is a problem, and here is why we need to have the dialogue. For starters, the people who don’t want to talk about it anymore would like to avoid the issue, either because the wrong people have been using race for their own personal gain OR because they are afraid to be labeled as a racist (as stated in the example in the last paragraph.)
There also has not been an honest dialogue about it in my opinion. America needs to acknowledge that its past has been super ugly, and I don’t mean mention it casually and brush it aside as if all is right with the world. The truth is that America has a long way to go to achieving racial harmony. This has been proven recently where The New York Post can draw a cartoon in poor taste. While it is the New York Post’s right to publish the cartoon, it is equally everyone’s right to be offended by it. In addition to that, both sides of the aisle have been guilty at times with using the resentment of Blacks and Whites for political gain.
Let’s go back to the recent election, where many people in general were afraid to show dissent against then-Presidential candidate Obama. If Whites dissented, they would have been viewed as a racist. If blacks (like me) did not agree with President Obama, we get called with sellouts or self-haters. I was recently told to finish my Clorox bath when I reminded the unapologetically Black community that President Obama was running things, not us.
Everything is not a racial incident. When we are afraid to disagree with policy because of racial concerns, then we are indeed wimps about the subject. America has some pondering to do, before we accuse Holder of trying to stir the pot.

Girl Scouts Shrink Cookies, Customers Shrink Sales
I don't care if it came from the USA Today or the Daily Times, I was right and they were wrong.
Girl Scout Cookies are somewhat of an American icon. They're not necessarily the best cookies anyone has ever made, and the portions certainly aren't of a generous size. In fact, the Girl Scouts are taking heat this year for reducing the number of cookies in each box by about 2, thanks to drastic increases in the price of ingredients. But there are plenty of consumers who have their favorites (such as Thin Mints) which they wait for each year (no matter how many cookies are in a box!). Even better, many consumers understand the importance of selling these cookies. It's a chance for the Girl Scouts to learn a little bit about the business world and entrepreneurship. Sure, their parents and troop leaders often do the bulk of the work. But for interested Scouts, there is an opportunity to learn firsthand.
Last year we debated here about how worthwhile the exercise of selling cookies is. The local troops get a small portion (about 15%) of the sales price of a box of cookies to fund local events. Some consumers say that's just not enough for all their hard work. I'd say it's a fundraising model that has worked for years to fund local operations, as well as national and regional operations. If you can spare a few bucks, please buy a box or two of Girl Scout cookies. If you're on a diet, give the cookies away. The Girls Scouts of the USA has done so much for so many young girls, and I can't bear the thought of it not surviving this recession. I know consumers have to be careful with their money, but this group is really a cause that is worth of a few dollars from you.

Wicomico County Sheriff's Office Press Releases
Incident: Possession of Marijuana
Date of Incident: 19 February 2009
Location: John Street and College Avenue, Salisbury, MD
Suspect: Charlene Wright, 27, Salisbury, MD
Narrative: On 19 February 2009 at 12:45AM, a deputy stopped a vehicle operated by Charlene Wright for speeding. During the stop a WCSO K9 team arrived and conducted a scan of the vehicle for the odor of illegal drugs. During this scan the K9 alerted to the presence of the odor of illegal drugs at which point the deputy searched the inside of the vehicle. During the search a baggie containing what the deputy recognized as marijuana was located.
Wright was arrested and transported to the Central Booking unit where she was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, Wright was released by the Commissioner on Personal Recognizance.
Charges: Possession of Marijuana
Incident: Possession of Cocaine
Date of Incident: 20 February 2009
Location: Civic Avenue at Wyman Drive, Salisbury, MD
Suspect: Andrew Raymond Jackson, 35, Salisbury, MD
Narrative: On 20 February 2009 at 8:56 PM, a deputy from the WCSO stopped a vehicle on Civic Avenue for an equipment violation. Upon making contact with the occupants, the deputy observed the passenger to be eating potato chips from a bag while he appeared nervous by the presence of the deputy. A WCSO K9 team arrived and scanned the vehicle for the odor of illegal drugs. During the scan the K9 alerted positively to that odor in the vehicle. Upon searching the vehicle, the deputy located individually wrapped baggies of cocaine inside the bag of potato chips the passenger was eating from. Due to the individual wrapping of the baggies, they appeared destined for sale. Based on these findings, the passenger, Andrew Raymond Jackson, was arrested.
The deputy transported Jackson to the Central Booking unit where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, Jackson was held in the Detention Center in lieu of $75,000.00 bond.

A New Truck
I bought a new GMC Sierra and returned to the dealer
yesterday because I couldn't get the radio to work.
The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.
'Nelson,' the salesman said to the radio.
The radio replied, 'Ricky or Willie?'
'Willie!' he continued and 'On The Road Again'
came from the speakers.
Then he said, 'Ray Charles!', and in an instant
'Georgia On My Mind' replaced Willie Nelson.
I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time
I'd say, 'Beethoven,' I'd get beautiful classical music,
and if I said, 'Beatles,' I'd get one of
their awesome songs.
Yesterday, some guy ran a red light and
nearly creamed my new truck, but
I swerved in time to avoid them.
I yelled, 'A-holes!'
Immediately the Iranian National Anthem began to play,
sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by
Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry
on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica,
Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons,
Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy On Scotch.
Dang, I LOVE this truck!

Think There's No More Oil Left?????
GOOGLE it or follow this link. It will blow your mind.
http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota ; western South Dakota ; and extreme eastern Montana .... check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.
'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.' says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years.' reports, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana , through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41 years straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.
Here a re the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it's all right here in the Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil!
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.

Don't Pee On My Head And Then Tell Me Its Raining
Only in Salisbury can you find something, no, anything, to bring to every one's attention and feel the immediate need to "fix it." I know, why not wait till the economy is so bad, let's throw in another project no one can compare it to, (so no one has a clue what a contractor should really be getting) and piss away $135,000.00 and we must do it NOW! Boy, it sure does make the Marina Project look tiny though, doesn't it?
So how do YOU feel City Taxpayers? Are you OK with pissing away $135,000.00 to sure up the foundation, (PLLLLLEASE) and clean and paint this thing inside and out? It's a stupid Pipe/Tower. Oh well, the Tilghman Administration says that's what it will cost, then that's what it is. Just like that 3 or 4 million dollar Fire Palace cost $14,000,000.00. It is what it is, what can I say. Hope to see YOU at tonight's City Council Meeting because this will be yet another part of their 3-2 vote, as usual.
I truly wonder why the City of Salisbury can never seem to land those sweet deals like buying a $40,000.00 Ladder Truck for $5,500.00???????????????

Can You Believe What You Read - Part II
While I am sure my friends in the print media will argue to the contrary, the blogosphere differs little from its print media cousins other than a lower cost of entry and the ability to be more immediate. There are great newspapers; as well as horrible papers. Ditto with magazines. Ditto with blogs.
As we showed last week, just because it's printed in your local paper doesn't mean that it's credible. Just because you agree with a particular blogger doesn't mean that he (or she) is credible. Nor does it make a blogger not credible because you disagree with them.

Duo Break Out Of Prison With Chopper
By ELENA BECATOROS,
AP
ATHENS, Greece (Feb. 23) - Greek police scoured the country Monday for two convicts who orchestrated a brazen helicopter prison break for the second time in three years, deeply embarrassing authorities who had vowed to improve security.
In addition to the manhunt, police arrested four prison guards and the helicopter pilot Monday. Three top Greek officials were fired for the security lapse, and the justice minister called for an investigating into the bank accounts of all guards working in the wing where the two convicts were held.

Old Salisbury Mall - What Would You Do?
We have been hearing lots of different things lately. Some people think the proposed development should proceed. Some think the County should buy the land for a new Civic Center. Some even think the property shouldn't be touched now that it is demolished.I think it should be developed according to the P.R.D. currently in place. If the City hadn't run the developers around so much for the last 4-5 years, we would have a great project going up right now, which would not only be putting a lot of people to work, but bringing in residents and tax dollars as well.
Sometimes I think the City is strictly against development, period.
Now it's your turn. If it were up to you, what would you do with the property?

Arrest Warrants Obtained In Seaford Shooting
Seaford – The Delaware State Police have obtained arrest warrants for Michael R. Brewer, 30 of Ellendale for the shooting that occurred in Dove Estates over the weekend.
During the investigation, detectives learned from some of the occupants inside the home when the shooting occurred that Brewer was one of the subjects who was involved. Witnesses informed police that they knew Brewer and observed him arrive at the home in his white Acura vehicle. They saw him exit the vehicle without a shirt on and walk around the back of the home.
Moreover, witnesses observed Brewer at the rear door of the home yelling that he wanted the guy who was responsible for the fight that occurred earlier that evening to come outside. Shortly afterward shots were fired through the rear door into the home.
As a result of these developments, arrest warrants have been obtained for Brewer for Assault 1st Degree, Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Felony, Possession of Ammunition by Person Prohibited, 2 counts of Reckless Endangering 1st Degree and 3 counts of Criminal Mischief.
Police are unable to locate him and are seeking the public’s assistance. Anyone with information of his whereabouts or any other persons involved in the crime are urged to contact detectives at Troop 4 at 302.865.5850 ext. 222 or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.TIP.3333.
Brewer should be considered armed and dangerous.
GANNETT CAN'T EVEN GIVE THEIR NEWSPAPER AWAY

With us or against us!
That is the mentality around here and that is what is wrong around here. As a "Come Here" I bring some different insight that I would like to share. I love this area, I chose to raise my family here but this place will NEVER be better as long as a few in charge continue with this mentality. They are no better than those that sit in front of their computer commenting and criticizing others that do not agree with them.
For me the final straw was the public flogging a local business received for supporting a local candidate. I may be conservative but my lawyer is a liberal, my accountant is a Libertarian, my best friend was head of the local Obama campaign, my husband is a registered Republican, I swear my dentist is a Socialist, the list goes on. I could care less that the place where I buy my tires is supporting a candidate that I would not vote for.
I go to Burnett White Tires because I truly like Dawn Tilghman and her company. She is a wonderful businesswoman, she is involved in this community and she genuinely cares about this area. When I brought my sons car in to get tires, I saw the campaign sign. My first thought was she is gutsy too.
Watching local politics from the sidelines, it is just plain ugly. No substance just attacks. This blog and many others are sometimes no better. Nothing is ever achieved. Everyone has their own agenda and refuse to listen to the opposing side. I have experienced this first hand. I have seen people threatened and slandered all in the name of politics. Whatever happened to truth, honor and agreeing to disagree?
Slandering individuals just because you don't agree with them is truly the crime here. It serves no purpose except to bring this city down even further.
I KNOW there will always be opposing sides, of course. Salisbury needs to raise the bar; it is in the gutter right now. My contributions are to be the voice of reason and attempt to raise the bar. I love this area but I am tired, like so many, of where we are going.
Next topic: More support for Salisbury University and their students!

Is Mayor Tilghman Telling Obama To Shove It?
Click on images to enlarge. I know, pass this stuff through before Obama comes to Salisbury and slaps someone with any fines or legal recourse. You see, if they pass this tonight, who would be accountable? If Barrie is gone, she's no longer the Mayor. When the new Mayor is elected, well, they inherited it, right?
Look Folks, here's the deal. This Mayor want to shove down the taxpayers throat $1,748,500.00 worth of improvements to the Salisbury Zoo. Is this woman just out of her mind? She neglects to tell you that their operating expenses went UP about 25% or so and it now cost YOU the taxpayer more than $900,000.00 a year just to run that Zoo. The $960,000.00 I'm mentioning has NOTHING to do with the above figures. That's just the General Fund at the Zoo and does NOT include the Capitol Fund, neither of which are in the above figures!
Ron Alessi continues to run the Zoo through the Salisbury Zoo Commission and this facility has just drained taxpayers to no end. Think smart about this Ladies & Gentlemen, IF YOU AGREE TO THIS AND YOUR TAXES HAVE TO GO UP AGAIN! Do you want that to happen? My earlier Post on the Marina Commission challenged situations like this one and right now I'd demand a freeze be put on everything until a new Mayor is elected. Oh, you better believe the $840,000.00 Fire Boat is included in this CIP as well!
So when does it end? Do you really trust Gary Comegys? Has the man stepped up to the plate and said, I won't stand for any of this spending? In fact I encourage you to go to THIS LINK to today's article in the Daily Times suggesting that tonight's Council Meeting. It says:
"Council to accept Improvements Plan
SALISBURY -- The City Council plans to meet tonight with a short agenda including a resolution to adopt the 2010-2014 Capital Improvements Plan"
That's ALL the press they gave this meeting and IMHO discouraged anyone from attending. NO Daily Times, this is one heck of a meeting where they'll spend millions upon millions of dollars and of course you don't want anyone there.
Getting back to the Zoo. The Salisbury Zoo used to operate, (or shall I say, cost the City Taxpayers only $25,000.00 a year, until Jim Rapp came on board. Now it's just shy of ONE MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! The fact that Comegys, Smith & Shields will have nothing to do with a $1.00 fee to get into the Zoo, even if its for out of town guests, is beyond me. I have spoken to many Zoo Directors across America and each and every one of them say, if we can't keep our Zoo self sufficient, we don't have a job!
I do not have the image attached of the $840,000.00 Fire Boat but as I stated earlier, this thing is about to get passed through tonight and YOU people need to stop it. You need to call each Council Member and demand this thing be pulled from the Budget!
I'm telling you Folks, I'm so mad right now I can't see straight! Gary Comegys should be standing up and saying, Enough is Enough! This Mayor has done everything in her powers to break the taxpayers of Salisbury and it's spending like this that shows how much of a joke Salisbury is.
Look at it like this. Is NOW the time for a new $715,800.00 Australian Exhibit? People can't afford to put food on their tables, put gas in their cars, let alone pay their darned mortgages, yet they people that represent each and every one of you want to spend more on luxury items, IN THIS ECONOMY? A $840,000.00 Fire Boat??????
Man, you people better pack that room tonight and raise some hell because if you don't, your taxes are going to go through the roof once again. I'm extremely disappointed in Mr. Comegys. A simple grandstand on deleting one of these items isn't enough Gary. You need to demand ALL of this spending get put aside until further notice.
Don't listen to the Daily Times Ladies & Gentlemen. Go to tonight's City Council Meeting at 6:00 PM and let your voice be heard. Ovewhelm these people with e-mail and phone calls NOW!

It's Your Call from here on out. Oh, don't think for a second there isn't all kinds of other ridiculous spending going on tonight as well, because there is. I just don't have time for it right now. We are officially in a recession right now and IMHO a Depression. YOU cannot spend this kind of money in an economy like this. You need Police Officers, NOT Zoo Exhibits! You need to pay the Firefighters a decent wage, NOT buy a $840,000.00 Fire Boat!
All I can tell you is, Comegys is NOT your answer for the next Mayor of Salisbury. He's clueless as to how to run a business and when he made an attempt to go into his own business he filed Bankruptcy. No disrespect Mr Comegys, that is not a personal attack. It is a fact and it is your kind of thinking that has brought Americans to their knees financially. It must end NOW!

Worcester Happenings:
At the last FOP Lodge 50 meeting, Reggie Mason attended and requested support for his election as Worcester County Sheriff in 2010. He stressed that all efforts be made OFF DUTY, not in uniform and not using county vehicles. Two years ago Joel Todd is rumored to have used his staff to place yard signs and request support while on duty and while driving county vehicles.
Reggie wants to make sure that there is no hint of impropriety during his campaign.
Last night around 10 there was a shooting in the Girdletree area.. 17 yo male, "self inflicted." He was transported to PRMC awake and talking at the time but things aren't looking too good. Worcester CBI was called out.

Stabbing Investigation Yields Two Felony Shoplifting Suspects
Monday, February 23, 2009
Location of Incident:
Stabbing- Baylor Boulevard (access road to the Baylor Woman’s Correctional Institute), New Castle, Delaware, New Castle County
Shoplifting- Kmart, Governors Square, Pulaski Highway, Bear, Delaware, New Castle County
Date and Time of Occurrence:
Stabbing- Sunday, February 22, 2009, at approximately 9:54 p.m.
Shoplifting- Sunday, February 22, 2009, at approximately 10:57 a.m.
Suspect(s):
Francis Gaglio, 36, of Channing Drive in Bear
Angel Acuff, 23, of South DuPont Highway in New Castle
Resume: On Sunday evening, Troopers responded to Baylor Boulevard in New Castle in reference to a stabbing complaint.
Once on scene, officers learned from a witness / reporting person that he was driving to the Baylor Woman’s’ Correctional Institute in car which was also occupied by an unidentified friend, Francis Gaglio and Angel Acuff. While the four subjects were traveling down Baylor Boulevard, an argument ensued between Acuff and Gaglio as Acuff accused her boyfriend, Gaglio, of stealing her medication. Acuff allegedly produced a knife and stabbed Gaglio in his shoulder. She then cut her own wrists.
When interviewed, Gaglio and Acuff both provided Troopers with false accounts of what happened and they claimed Gaglio was stabbed by one of the other subjects in the car. It did not take long for officers to get to the bottom of what actually happened.
Coincidently, the lead investigator into this stabbing recognized Gaglio and Acuff from a felony shoplifting case he was handling from earlier in the day. The shoplifting occurred at the Kmart in the Governors Square Shopping Center. In this incident it was alleged that Gaglio and Acuff responded to the jewelry counter in Kmart, pried open an earring display case and stole three pair of diamond studded earrings valued over $1,000.00.
Both subjects were transported from the scene to a local hospital for treatment. Gaglio and Acuff both required stitches to mend their wounds. Upon their release from the hospital, the two subjects were charged with the following:
Francis Gaglio- Criminal Mischief (misdemeanor), Conspiracy 2nd (felony), Shoplifting (felony) and Falsely Reporting an Incident (misdemeanor). He was released on a $1,600.00 unsecured bond.

DAILY TIMES APPLIES GRAVITY: UP IS DOWN!
Readers of yesterday’s Daily Times may have been perplexed by the article and editorial proclaiming that crime is really down in Salisbarrie despite the spate of murders, stabbings and shootings. With the article are graph charts plotting data on homicides, robberies and assaults for the period 2003-2007. In two of those three categories during that period the crime level has gone up, not down.
Things must be upside down in the land of Bassett. Could it be that he thinks that Gannett stock is going thru the roof on Wall Street and not down the tube? And if crime is down, why is Sheriff Lewis “alarmed” by the data. The article does not quote Salisbury’s “Chiefy” Webster, but maybe there was no telephone service in Westover or Crisfield recently.
Along with the front page article the editorial reiterates the mantra mouthed by the Tilghman administration. The editorial writer concludes with this pithy gem: “Salisbury remains a friendly safe community for those who take reasonable precautions.” Anyone who believes that baloney should talk to Ted Shea as soon as possible.

RELIEF MAY BE ON WAY FOR WICOMICO LANDOWNERS, FARMERS, AND RESIDENTS
Senator Rich Colburn and several other key legislators have sponsored legislation which may help to stream line and speed-up land evaluations for conducting percolation test for Maryland's farmers and land owners. In recent years, the Wicomico County Health Department had requested additional overtime expenses and more personnel in order to conduct perculation test and other land evaluation practices throughout Wicomico.
Under the newly proposed guidelines, these test may now be conducted by privately licensed sanitarians which will should be beneficial to area land owners, farmers, and beneficial to Maryland taxpayers. Across the State line in Delaware, this practise is already permitted. In addition, Delaware allows private engineers to engineer many different type septic systems to accommodate differing soil conditions. Moreover, the educational statutes of Delaware require continuing education credits for septic installers so as to promote a high Quality Control standard for installation of traditional and hybrid systems.

The Marina Commission Meeting
"CITY VEHICLES ONLY NO EXCEPTIONS EXCEPT DELIVERIES"With all the crap I've had to put up with referencing the Mayor and Police Chief Webster, there was absolutely no way I was going to drive past this point and attend the meeting I went out of my way for to attend, the Marina Commission Meeting.
The question is, would YOU drive past that point, after it clearly tells you not to? I may have considered it if I had a white hard hat with a blue sticker on it, but I didn't have it with me at the time.
I had never been to a meeting for the City of Salisbury at this location, so I had no idea that I would be confronted with such signage. Why are these meetings held here, to intimidate people from attending? Why is the City for the 3rd or 4th year in a row throwing money into the pockets of businessmen that attempt to run a business that keeps losing money every year? Why are the taxpayers of Salisbury funding such a losing business? Who are we to tell this money isn't going into someone else's pocket instead?
Then again, if citizens can't attend these meetings where they know they're welcome, we'll never really now, will we?
You know something else Folks. I wonder just how easy it would be to be a politician and front money to developers and business people and let's say pocket some of that money through kickbacks? I mean, didn't the City do away with that department that does all the checks and balances of inventory items that belong to the City? I'll bet you that citizens from all around the country could come up with examples of situations where money was spent on jobs a local municipality used contractors for that bid too high but the officials actually used these contractors because they could get a kickback of some sort?
Fortunately we have had a Mayor over the past 12 years that wasn't Mayor for the income. Fortunately she hasn't had any special interests, thank God. Fortunately the City has carefully spent $84,000,000.00+ on a new WWTP, $19,000,000.00 on a new Fire Palace, Collector Roads, Developer Reimbursements in the millions, you know the drill. If we had a crooked Mayor, wow, just imagine how things COULD have gone! I just wish she would have left that department together so the checks and balances, bidding and so forth could have been left a little more accountable, especially towards the end of all of those major projects. Nevertheless, that was her choice and I'm sure she has her reasons.
Some complain about the trash on the Plaza, the landscaping, paved roads, you know, the stuff citizens really care about. I have personally asked the many thousands of people visiting this Site every day just what it is that Mayor Tilghman has done good for the City? I guess those things I mentioned above are some of them but doesn't it surprise you a little bit that not one person came back with anything positive?
Well, anyway, fortunately we don't have the problems places like Chicago and Baltimore have. Hey, who knows, maybe Gary Comegys will get into Office and provide the exact same kind of service Mayor Barrie Tilghman has delivered. After all, they seem to be really proud of all of their accomplishments, as they should be, right?
I don't mean to be so long winded but again, I have to wonder what would happen if a whole new administration with a whole new style would bring to the City of Salisbury? What if things were really different? Let's look at that for a second, if you don't mind.
Let's say we get a new Mayor who fights against the Landlords and actually enlarges the Code & Compliance Department. What would happen if we stopped spending money on the Fire Department and actually concentrated on more Police Officers? Here's a bold idea. What if we had a new Mayor who thought outside the box and actually brought back the purchasing department like it used to be and lets even say we had someone that allowed Department Heads to speak on on one with City Council Members? What would happen if we had a Council President that refused to bring anything to the table that they didn't have a week ahead of time to review, instead of two hours before the Council Meeting? What if we even had a Mayor that acted more like Rick Pollitt who says, If we can get the information, YOU can get the information? I just wonder on those small examples how much different Salisbury would be?
Then again, Rick Pollitt makes a whole lot more money than the Mayor of Salisbury. I personally feel that if the City Taxpayers accepted the fact that there were a lot of could be's out there, they might actually save a whole lot of money by paying a Mayor a decent salary than ever wonder about the what ifs. Well, the choice isn't up to Joe Albero, I don't live in the City. The choices are up to those residents who are qualified to vote in the City. If they like the way things have been run and trust the same kind of administration as Barrie Tilghman has provided, Gary Comegys is probably your best choice. If the Citizens would enjoy feeling more like they have someone in Office speaking up and protecting the Taxpayer for once, well, your best choices IMHO are Bob Caldwell and Jim Ireton.
Me personally, if it were my choice, taking the risk that you might be interested in my opinion, I'd put my two votes in the primary for Bob Caldwell and Jim Ireton. The way I see it is, I think Salisbury has seen enough of the spending and closed style of Government. I truly think people want change. I know I'd want to finally see me get something for all the money I'm spending every year in taxes. Comegys has already brought a Stimulus Package to Salisbury. I mean, look at it. You have non taxpayers dropping off their trash on the Downtown Plaza every single day and YOU pay salaries to have Public Works pick up their trash and then YOU pay for the vehicle to do so, then the maintenance and fuel on that vehicle and then YOU pay to actually discard it into the Landfill. Like I said the other day in a Post, Comegys and Dunn knew about this two and a half years ago and now all of a sudden its important to him again, yet nothing was ever done about it. Oh, and it still hasn't been brought up and or resolved. Sounds like a Stimulus Plan to me, eh?
Yeah, IMO I think it's time for a change. Meetings need to be held when the Citizens and Taxpayers can actually make it to the meeting. Take the Salisbury Zoo for an example. They meet the third Wednesday of every month at 12:00 Noon. Isn't it time they change that, considering YOU pay the bill for every single thing in that Zoo? How about meetings that are held in locations where you won't feel intimidated driving through gates that tell you to stay out? How about a Mayor that would say NO to something like a Marina Commission that wants $30,000.00 a year because they allegedly can't survive? Better yet, how about a Mayor that accepted Board Members who actually docked their Boats and Yachts at that Marina and know what changes would be necessary to make it a better place? How could I forget wanting a Mayor who actually felt a First Response Ambulance EMS Team might better serve the community from the old Station 16 and still leave ONE Ambulance at the new Fire Station to take care of the West Side of the City just in the rare case the Bridge is up? For me personally, I'd rather see them put the old Fire Station into good use than attempt to gift it to an Arts Group that has failed in every single attempt they have ever tried to open their own facility.
I see light at the end of the tunnel but it's going to take YOU the Taxpayer/Citizen to get to the Polls for this Primary to make any difference whatsoever. You lost a great man in Tim Spies because they beat you once. I wouldn't let them beat you again. I'd send a clear message that this race needs to be between two individuals, Bob Caldwell and Jim Ireton and let the best man win in the end. Heck, who knows. If you actually elected either one of these two gentlemen into Office, we might even see the Real Estate Market go crazy watching all those Landlords selling off their properties at prices they used to be just so they could unload them all. You might see renters converting to buyers if the prices were right. I just don't see the economic and development rising upwards with Gary Comegys in Office, do you?
By the way, the Marina Commission will be a part of tonght's City Council Meeting at 6:00 PM.
Don't forget to look at this Post. http://sbynews.blogspot.com/2009/02/should-salisbury-continue-to-subsidize.html
WIFE OF FALLEN OFFICER NEEDS KIDNEY
Dear Reader,
This is a story about your family member, your neighbor, your friend, and your co-worker. This is a story about Connie Heller, mother of Laura Heller, widow of Law Enforcement Officer, Brian Heller.
Connie Heller worked for years as a nurse in emergency services and intensive care. She has cared and helped many people over the years. She lost her husband Brian, a police officer in 2000 when he was responding to a call from another officer who was being held at gunpoint. Brian never made it due to his car leaving the highway and killing him at age 35. Brian left behind Connie and his daughter Laura age 9.
Since then Connie had two major heart attacks and underwent open-heart surgery. Laura has helped her mother as much as she could but had to eventually depend on her grandparents while her mother spent many hours ill and recuperating.
Connie has an inheriting disease know as polycystic kidney disease (PKD). This is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. About one-half of people with the most common type of PKD progress to kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Symptoms usually develop between the ages of 30 and 40. Due to this disease, which is inherited, it has ruled out Laura, her daughter from being a possible kidney donor. Laura is at high risk for developing this disease herself.
Connie is being treated for End Stage Renal Disease. But as some of you may already know, the time has come for her to seriously start looking at the reality of a kidney transplant. The doctors have run out of veins to do dialysis. To put it plainly Connie, is running out of time Her doctors are all in agreement that a transplant is necessary soon. With this in mind, they have asked that she look for possible living donors. The hope is that she can find a match and get a transplant before her time here has run out.
Treatment options include:
Dialysis ( Two types), 1 peritoneal dialysis treatment at home. The dialysis involves a 30-minute fluid exchange from the abdomen four to six times a day. This is what put her into the hospital for 10 months back in 2005. So this is not an option. 2nd Hemo dialysis involves circulation of blood through a filter on a dialysis machine this requires access to a blood vessel so that the machine has a way to remove and return blood to the body. All of Connie's vessels have been compromised over the past 4 years of dialysis so this is almost out of t he picture. People undergoing dialysis have an overall five-year survival rate of 32%. So time is getting short.
Deceased Donor Transplant (with a potential wait of 3-5 years)
Living donor Transplant
Of these treatment options, living donation has become the preferred treatment.
Organs last longer and work quicker. Today, more than half of all donors are living donors.
I know this is a big decision, so please think about it carefully and consider doing it only if you want to do it. She doesn’t want anyone to feel pressured or to feel guilty about donating. Please think about your family and how this would impact them. Consider the risk you would be taking before you make your decision to donate. She knows that the people who choose not to donate have their reasons and that they love and care for her just as much as those who make the decision to donate. She understands all of your decisions and she hopes that you will follow your instincts, what ever they may be, then you make your decision.
Anyone could call in to be considered. You do not have to be the immediate family, so please share the enclosed information with everyone you know. Connie would love to spend as much time as she can with her daughter Laura, especially since Brian was taken from them so early in life. If you are interested in becoming a donor, please contact the Christiana Hospital 302 623 3866 ask for donation coordinator and tell them who you are trying to help. They will ask you some questions and instruct you on how to get tested.
To give you a little information on Laura, Connie and Brian’s daughter. She is a wonderful young lady. An honor student, a good friend, a wonderful daughter, a fantastic granddaughter. She volunteers in her community daily, at her young age of 18. She is looking forward to college, spending as much time as she can with family and friends, working for her community and making the most of her life as she can in the time that is given to her.
From Laura, Connie and the rest of their family, thank you for taking the time to read this and for passing this information along.
God Bless You.
Sincerely,
Connie Widmann Mother in Law

REPEAT OF WARNING ON SOCIALISM IN AMERICA
For those of you who have been following some of my articles, I have issued repeated warnings about America's rush towards Socialism. I was able to recognize the 'handwriting on the wall' as far back as the early 90's. It wasn't until about 2000 or so that I stepped-up my efforts to issue written warnings to our society as the Socialists blueprints were already made.
I issued these warnings before any of the major networks were able to pick-up on this activity. Now, FOX news and MSNBC are all over this as our nation's two largest banks - (Citicorp, Bank of America) - are now on the verge of being nationalized. Not to mention the taxpayer's bailout of GM, and Chrysler.
If there is one thing I want you to remember it's what Nikita Khrusshchev, Soviet Communist Party boss, said during nation-wide American television audience in June, 1957.
With calm assurance he stated:
. . . . I can prophesy that your grandchildren in America will live under Socialism. And please do not be afraid of that. Your grandchildren will . . .not understand how their grandparents did not understand the progressive nature of a socialist society.
Part of the Socialist social engineering strategy is take small incremental steps so as not to set-off an alarm. They've done this slowly overtime. First they target the small firms or groups of people because most of them don't have the resources to fight them. To achieve the long-range goal of a Socialist America. . . . retreats and maneuvers sometimes are necessary. It is not like climbing an unexplored mountain? asks Lenin. That explains the Socialist phrase, "strategic retreat." It means: Don't be afraid to take two steps backward today if it will help to achieve three steps forward tomorrow. I've personally witnessed this strategy in our own Maryland State Legislature.
Take-a-look at these Socialistic House Bills and I believe you will also be convinced of this once you read the examples cited below:
HB - 965 Exempting State Property Tax - Public School Teachers
HB - 197 Property Tax Credit - Law Enforcement, Firefighters, School Teachers
Bottom line - while the average working class American has suffered and been hit the hardest throughout this recession and their pensions have suffered as much as 50% or more declines, they are now being forced to pay even higher taxes in order to subsidize the State Pensions for retired government workers and UAW retirees.
There is something definitely wrong with this picture. As Glen Beck and Bill O'Reilly said in this past Friday's edition of O'Reilly factor, the conditions are certainly ripe for another Revolution.
This time though it will probably not resemble another American Revolution. . . .but instead. . . it will be more like a French Revolution.
I issued these warnings before any of the major networks were able to pick-up on this activity. Now, FOX news and MSNBC are all over this as our nation's two largest banks - (Citicorp, Bank of America) - are now on the verge of being nationalized. Not to mention the taxpayer's bailout of GM, and Chrysler.

To achieve the long-range goal of a Socialist America. . . . retreats and maneuvers sometimes are necessary. It is not like climbing an unexplored mountain? asks Lenin. That explains the Socialist phrase, "strategic retreat." It means: Don't be afraid to take two steps backward today if it will help to achieve three steps forward tomorrow. I've personally witnessed this strategy in our own Maryland State Legislature.
Take-a-look at these Socialistic House Bills and I believe you will also be convinced of this once you read the examples cited below:
HB - 965 Exempting State Property Tax - Public School Teachers
HB - 197 Property Tax Credit - Law Enforcement, Firefighters, School Teachers
Bottom line - while the average working class American has suffered and been hit the hardest throughout this recession and their pensions have suffered as much as 50% or more declines, they are now being forced to pay even higher taxes in order to subsidize the State Pensions for retired government workers and UAW retirees.
There is something definitely wrong with this picture. As Glen Beck and Bill O'Reilly said in this past Friday's edition of O'Reilly factor, the conditions are certainly ripe for another Revolution.
This time though it will probably not resemble another American Revolution. . . .but instead. . . it will be more like a French Revolution.

Virus On Anti Albero Blogs
Look, I'm not going to get into who's Blog it is but one of the Anti Albero Blogs has a virus on it that shuts down your computer. I'm not one of those technical geeks that knows or even understands why it's doing what it's doing but the reality of it is, it freezes up your computer and the smart move is to immediately hit control/alt/delete as fast as possible and then get your computer into the Shop as fast as possible so you don't lose anything. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Very Cool

Public Works Shoves It Up Your Trash And Then Some
I was driving down Naylor Street in Salisbury early one day last week, and came upon a City of SBY trash truck and its attendents. They were going back and forth across the street tipping the cans into the truck as you would expect - but then I witnessed them doing something that dropped my jaw... I watched as they picked-up numerous blue recycling containers - full of cardboard, paper, and plastic jugs - and dumped them right in with the trash!! WTF?? Is that what the City calls "recycling" - having people go to the trouble of separating their items and placing them out in the blue bins - just to have them tipped and trashed with everything else? This is ridiculous! I myself am an avid recycler - and definitely a "pro-green environmental" person. Hey, we need all the help we can get to clean up after the trash coming out of the Tilghman-Comegys led crews!
Your blog rocks! Thank you for exposing the TRUTHS in Salisbury... And I hope this posting makes it to the City Public Works Department Head - who will boot-stomp the idiots who dump the recycling in with the "trash"....

Teachers vs CEO's
The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education.
He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"
He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
To emphasize his point he said to another guest; "You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?"
Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, "You want to know what I make?"
(She paused for a second, then began...)
"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor.
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't make them sit for 5 without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.
You want to know what I make?" (She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table.)
''I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
I teach them to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn't everything.
I make them read, read, read.
I make them show all their work in math. They use their God-given brain, not the man-made calculator.
I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know in English while preserving their unique cultural identity.
I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.
I make my students stand, placing their hand over their heart to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, One Nation Under God, because we live in America.
I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life."
(Bonnie paused one last time and then continued.)
"Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn't everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant...You want to know what I make?
I MAKE A DIFFERENCE. What do you make Mr. CEO?"
His jaw dropped, he went silent.

Two Female Parrots
A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him,
"Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots,
but they only know how to say one thing."
"What do they say?" the priest inquired.
They say,"Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"
That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed, then he thought for a moment. "You
know," he said, "I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male
talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two
parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Francis and
Peter.
My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship, and your parrots are
sure to stop saying ... that phrase ... in no time."
Thank you," the woman responded,"this may very well be the solution."
The next day,she brought her female parrots to the priest's house. As he
ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage
holding rosary beads and praying.
Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them.
After a few minutes,the female parrots cried out in unison:
Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"
There was stunned silence.
Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed
"Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered!"
"Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots,

One Post Brings In 331 Comments On Salisbury News
We are often asked what Post brought in the most comments and the answer is, "Officers At WCDC Being Ripped Off." There are 331 comments on that Post and still climbing every day. Clearly there are some serious issues at the WCDC and many people working there are begging County Executive Rick Pollitt to step in and help their cause and concerns.

OBAMA'S TWO-WEEK RECAP
1, The American people elect a black president with a total of 42 days experience as a U S Senator from the most politically corrupt state in America whose governor is ousted from office. The President's first official act is to close Gitmo and make sure Terrorists civil rights are not violated.
2, The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists.
3, The CIA Boss, Leon Penetta with absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda we find out, that is a true radical anti-American activist who is a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere.
4. We got the most corrupt female in America as Secretary of State; bought and paid for.
5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who files his own taxes.
6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.
7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges.
8. A Labor Sec'y nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.
9. A Sec'y HHS nominee who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.
And that's just the first two weeks. . . but who's counting.
America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges ~ Barrack, Nancy, and Harry ~ and they are still trying to define stimulus.
Stimulus is where the government gives a smidgen of your tax dollars back to you making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated] that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Telemundo!
