There's a breaking story from the Wicomico County Detention Center.
One confirmed case of legionnaires disease at the Wicomico County Detention Center. The employee was hospitalized and is now recovering. Devilnyns(devenyns) is playing that same cover up game. Claims everything is ok in memo he put out. Devilnyns was allowing an outside vender to wash hotel bedding etc. From local hotels without any approved contract by the county. Now at least one employee involved in the washing of the bedding items is sick and possibly another.
Allegedly, proper procedure wasn't followed as to the proper follow up inspection in addressing the legionnaires issue. Not to mention Devilnyns cover up. I wish the employee a speedy recovery. Joe hopefully you might be helpful in keeping any other employees from getting this illness. Devilnyns won't....
"To: All County and Contractual Employees, Inmates and Visitors of the Wicomico County Department of Corrections.
Subject: Medical Information
Last Friday, August 8, 2008, I was informed by the Wicomico County Health Department that an employee of the Department of Corrections had been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ Disease and was receiving treatment. Because of the sensitive and confidential nature of personal medical information this employee’s name cannot be revealed nor should it be the topic of speculation.
I immediately contacted the Wicomico County’s Health Officer to seek guidance in determining what actions, if any, were necessary to ensure the health and welfare of our employees and the inmate population. Part of the response is the attached information sheet that has been provided by the Health Department and is being forwarded to each of you. What is most important to note is that:
Legionnaires’ Disease cannot be transmitted from person to person.
The cooling tower that provides for the facility’s air conditioning is routinely serviced, sanitized and tested to ensure there is no opportunity for the growth of Legionella bacteria, the germ that causes the disease. The most recent test was conducted on July 18, 2008 and the results showed “no observed evidence of Legionella in the sample”. A copy of the test results are also attached. Although these results are less than a month old, I have contacted the testing company to retest the cooling tower and the sample to conduct the test will be collected today, with new results in several days. As soon as the new results are received they will be shared with all of you.
The Health Officer did indicate that the most appropriate course of action at this time is to be alert and aware of any signs or symptoms of Legionnaires’ Disease which are described on the information sheet provided by the Health Department.
Should you have any questions or concerns you are encouraged to contact the Communicable Disease Program at the Wicomico County Health Department at 410 543 — 6943 or your personal medical provider.

East Coast Tile Works On Library
The work continues today on the front of the Downtown Library. One of the employees for East Coast Tile told me that they are getting so many women thanking them for getting this done because their heals kept getting caught in the gaps. I'm told they're also working on some background tile and they're hoping to also get the contract for repairs in the bathrooms in the building.
More Evidence The Blog Works
Remember the Post I put up yesterday about certain people smoking in City vehicles? Look what that driver is doing now. I have to be completely honest with you Folks, this is the very first time I have seen this guy do anything, other than drive his truck around. He passes my Office at least 5 to 6 times a day and finally the taxpayers are getting what they're paying out for, WORK!
Look What Barrie Tilghman Bought The MDE!

Early Morning Accident On Rt. 50
Three lanes heading east bound on Business Rt. 50 near the Police Station were brought down to only one lane this morning around 8:00 AM. Firefighters were making sure traffic moves as smoothly as possible and I have to admit, it wasn't a long wait considering the congestion.
An Ode to America
Read this excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper. The article was written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and published under the title 'C'ntarea Americii, meaning 'Ode To America ') in the Romanian newspaper Evenimentulzilei 'The Daily Event' or 'News of the Day'
Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color! They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religiousbeliefs
On 9/ll, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts. Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about Instead the Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand.
After the first moments of panic, they raised their flag over the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties i n the colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a government official or the president was passing. On every occasion, they started singing: 'God Bless America !'
I watched the live broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the Californian hockey player, who gave his life fighting with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have killed other hundreds or thousands of people.
How on earth were they able to respond united as one human being? Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes. And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put into collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit, which no money can buy.
What on earth can unite the Americans in such way? Their land? Their history? Their economic Power? Money? I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace, I thought things over, I reached but only one conclusion... Only freedom can work such miracles. Cornel Nistorescu
It took a person on the outside - looking in - to see what we take for granted ! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Clarification
I just got off the phone with Mr. John Cannon. It seems that "ALL" of us got it wrong when we stated the vote on the Dispensary System was 6-1. Technically, John Cannon does not vote unless it is necessary.
That being said, Mr. Cannon did say that if he were to have voted he would have voted it down at this point and time, for a very good reason.
Considering that legislative body would have had to deliver a letter to the State Delegates giving very good, well thought out, well investigated reasons as to why it should be abolished, Mr. Cannon claims there simply wasn't enough information YESTERDAY to pass the vote through.
Other Council Members expressed the same concern and quite frankly, they're right. The replacement of revenue at this point and time is nowhere near convincing enough to SELL the Delegates on such a change and that has to be researched much further.
Mr. Cannon also agrees that he would like nothing more than the Taxpayers taking it to a vote in 2010 and he feels that will more than likely happen. However, yesterday was not the day to move it forward.
Now I know many will argue this point and that's what this Blog is all about. It was NOT dropped yesterday. It has in fact been postponed so more time can be spent digging into just how the County can replace that revenue.

Let’s Shine Some Light on Barrie Tilghman - Part 2
The following two statements are the kicker to the article published in the Daily Times concerning the investigation of the DRILL Academy. Has this woman no shame?
”Salisbury Police Chief Allan Webster, who has called video footage he has seen at the former DRILL Academy "shocking" and "appalling," urged Tilghman to send the letter, she said.”
True to form, if this were to backfire on Barrie, she isn’t going down alone; she is taking her chief with her. (A council member being kicked to the groin goes unseen. Was this not shocking and appalling?) What is even more shocking and appalling is Barrie Tilghman and Chief Webster won’t get their priorities straight.
"As mayor, if (my) chief police officer, regardless of jurisdiction, sees something that needs light shown on it, I should get involved," Tilghman said.” Barrie, Barrie, Barrie, where was that light when your chief of police requested more funding and personnel?
Why isn’t Barrie shining light on some of the crime in Salisbury? Doesn’t her police chief see the drug dealers, prostitutes, gang bangers on his way in and out of town? Oh, silly me, there is no crime, drugs or gangs in the land of Barrie. To improve your vision and that of your chief police officer, I recommend removing those rose colored glasses. You might see what the rest of us are seeing in the city. You might see the city is suffering more violent crime this year than 2007, and we’re only 7 months into 2008.
What I and countless others find shocking and appalling is:
The closing of the police sub stations on Cecil and Smith Streets.
Three murders just weeks after your claim that Part 1 crime is down, in your state of the city address.
An elderly man is robbed and beaten in his home.
A child is sexually assaulted in her home in the middle of the night
A woman is awakened by an intruder holding a dagger to her throat.
A woman’s body found murdered on Marvel Road.
Drug dealers selling their wares openly on our streets.
Prostitutes, soliciting in broad daylight on our streets.
Playgrounds taken over by gangs.
The chief of police requesting more personnel only to be cut from the mayors’ budget year after year.
Our streets literally collapsing beneath us.
The pollution of the river through illegal drainage at the zoo.
Maintaining an illegal sludge pit seeping raw waste into our ground waters and river.
The many spills of sewage into the river.
The planning of larger storm drain pipes WITHOUT filtration to continue to pollute our river.
So, Miss 99% compliance, Miss I should get involved, shall I continue?
Stay tuned folks, there is more to come. To read Part 1 Go Here

Pocomoke Mayor Mike McDermott Calls Destruction of Public Documents Subject to FOIA Request by City Manager 'Error'
Yesterday in a post on the PocomokeTattler.com blog site, Pocomoke Mayor Mike McDermott admitted he has been lying to the citizens of Pocomoke City about what happened to City Manager Russell Blake's illegal, self-dealing employment contract.
The contract is an official public document that was signed by the Mayor, City Council, City Clerk, City Manager and witnessed by the City Attorney on the eve of the 2005 municipal elections.
Mayor McDermott has been telling myself and anyone else who asked (including in writing on this website) that the City Manager 'Verbally tore up" his illegal employment contract in front of the city council. Today he has stated something totally different:
The City Mangers Employment Contract was destroyed at meeting of the Mayor and Council a month after it was penned. While there was apparently no copy retained (certainly an error), I, for one, recall most of aspects of the document vividly. It was very close in design to the one offerred and accepted by Chief Ervin (which expired in June). The contracts were uncalled for and, at the time, Billy Burke praised the actions of the City Manager in abating the contract.
"Certainly an error"?
No Mr. Mayor destruction of this public document was not an error, it was a criminal act in violation of SG-627 and probably many other statutes.
City Manager Russ Blake should have been terminated on the spot for destruction of a public document.
How can a "sworn law enforcement officer" who is the Mayor and sworn to uphold the laws and rights of the citizens call destruction of a public government document, with an active Maryland Public Information Request (from myself) to copy and review this document, "certainly an error"
SINCE WHEN IS THE DESTRUCTION OF A PUBLIC DOCUMENT SUBJECT TO A FOIA REQUEST NOT A CRIMINAL ACT?
It's Pocomoke... Where Boss Hogg and Deputy Dawg make up the rules as they go...
What an insult to myself and all the decent people who elected you, it looks like we all made "an error" too but ours is not illegal, like the "error" you witnessed and have lied about for over 3-years.
I guess that allowing Honiss Cane to illegally retain his City Council seat after moving outside his district, thereby disqualifying himself from the right to retain his seat "certainly an error"
Was taking 3-years to get Councilman Canes junk cars removed from the city another "error"?
Is allowing the crack cocaine concession (which has moved along with Councilman Cane from Fourth Street to Butlers Village) to openly operate with police protection "cetainly an error"?
The contracts were uncalled for and, at the time, Billy Burke praised the actions of the City Manager in abating the contract.
Mr. Mayor I did not "praise the actions of the City Manager" for withdrawing his illegal, self-dealing employment contract signed by the Mayor & Council 11-hours before a municipal election.
I said it was a good start and called you a "p*ssy" for not demanding Russ Blake's resignation in front of both of our wives.
Now I can add PUBLIC LIAR to P*SSY because its pretty obvious you are now "King Boss Hogg" City Manager Russ Blake's boy, mouthpiece and defender of the faith.
Take a look at the tumbleweeds blowing down Market Street, look at burnt out slum apartments, look at the vacant lots while you are looking for the 1,200 breadwinner jobs that have left Pocomoke City during the past 32-years the decent people have been disenfranchised by the openly corrupt Pocomoke City Government with its un-elected Dictator Russ Blake pulling all the strings.
Mr Mayor Sir: You act indignant that I continue to call the Pocomoke City Government "Openly Corrupt" while you lie to my face, you lie to the citizens and you stand behind criminals and support their criminal actions.
What do you as a sworn law enforcement officer & public servant call: Destruction of a self-dealing, incriminating, PUBLIC document which has been properly FOIA'd from a citizen, by the person who is being incriminated by that document?

The Mayor Can Remember The Day When Her Own Son Could Walk Home From School On His Own
Concerned Citizens sat at the Mayor's Round Table Tuesday morning and discussed crime being completely out of control. The Mayor then chimed in, "Oh, I can remember a day when my own Son could walk home from school at lunch on his own." NOT ANY MORE!
The woman admits things are that bad with her own words, yet they won't release critical information about a killer/murderer still walking the streets TODAY! Wait a minute Barrie, didn't your kids get sent off to Boarding School?????????
Delmar Fire
A Call just came in stating there's a house fire on Spruce Street in Delmar with two people trapped inside.

The County Is Busting Out At The Seams
A special Office Space study was supposed to be discussed at the County Council Work Session Meeting Tuesday but was removed from the Agenda at the last minute.
OK, I'm going to stick my neck out on this one folks, call it instinct or a hunch.
Over the last couple of years Mayor Barrie Tilghman has been quietly looking around for their very own Government Office Building. I personally believe County Executive Rick Pollitt and Mayor Barrie Tilghman have been working together in making sure this dream becomes a reality.
Remember back when, I asked the City through a PIA request if the City ever paid that $1.00 for their 50% of the GOB? Their was a contract in which the City was supposed to fulfill many years ago and the City never gave up the $1.00 nor signed the agreement.
Well, don't be fooled Ladies & Gentlemen because the States Attorney's Office now has 42 Lawyers on Staff. That's right, I said 42! They are absolutely out of space and they are desperately trying to figure out ways to make everyone comfortable and this seems to be an impossible task.
While the States Attorney's Office has their own issues to deal with, the Judge's are also completely out of room and they too need additional space. You know, crime is obviously on the rise in Wicomico County and downsizing is not going to happen.
The County Government is already out of space and the one key answer to fixing their immediate problems and needs would simply be to send the City packing and nothing would be greater to Mayor Barrie tilghman than to be forced into a position whereas the City MUST relocate and find their own space.
Are you following me now? The Mayor refuses to do anything with the Old Station 16, that's not good enough and to be fair, it's certainly not big enough. Maybe the old Library? Hmmmmmmm? All of a sudden they're too big for their britches, is that where she's planning to place her name on a building?
They refuse to sign the agreement for 1/2 of the GOB, something is up. I don't care what anyone says, I'm telling you, the Taxpayers are about to get slammed with an easy $20,000,000.00 Building, you mark my words.
Tighten your belts Ladies & Gentlemen because I have been around watching these guys work for years and I'm telling you, it's inevitable. The Zoo wants money in the mega millions, the Fire Department will be slamming you for a brand new Fire Station on the North end of Salisbury VERY soon. The City of Salisbury needs to be absorbed by the County and that's all there is to it. The County also needs to absorb the Police Department as well!
It's only a matter of time, you wait and see.
