Bennett High School Update

Four Students have been suspended and three were cited for underage drinking!

That will effect their college applications, that is for sure!

With the new principal they have zero tolerance. Isn't it so much fun to forever destroy the lives of these children. Sure does make this Principal a BIG MAN in my book. NOT! I'll bet he's 4' 8" tall and drives a jacked up 4x4 Pickup Truck.

The Ex Wife Of Former Officer CHARLES H. MCMICHAEL Speaks Out

"i know for a fact, that she had reason to file those charges against him.....sad to say but i am that girl, and he was very violent and very aggressive. i ended up dropping the charges because i thought i was so in love, and i didnt want him to lose his job as a then OCPD, looking back i wish i never dropped the charges. he deserves everything thrown at him, i can only imagine how devastated the family of the little girls must be (which i have heard one of them was his own step daughter)-he actually married the woman he was cheating on me with... so sad."

COUNTY EXECUTIVE POLLITT ORDERS ALL COUNTY FLAGS LOWERED IN MEMORY OF BETTY K. GARDNER

Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr. has ordered all county flags lowered to half-staff on Monday, December 3rd to honor the memory of former Wicomico County Councilwoman Betty K. Gardner.



Reflecting on Mrs. Gardner’s long career of public and volunteer service in Wicomico County, Mr. Pollitt said, “I have always regarded Betty Gardner as a pioneer. She was the first woman elected to our County Council and served with distinction for 12 years from 1979 to 1991. That was not the only one of her ‘firsts.’ She was also the first woman to serve on the County Board of Zoning Appeals and the First Judicial Circuit Judicial Selection Committee. Her list of other volunteer accomplishments and subsequent national, state and local service awards are staggering. Her impact on our county has been large and she must not be forgotten. On behalf of all the citizens of Wicomico County, we extend our deepest sympathy to the entire Gardner family.”

8 Kids Allegedly Busted Last Night At Bennett Hig School Dance

ZERO TOLERANCE is the rules at Bennett High School and they mean it. Last night there were allegedly 8 Students who were caught with alcohol on their breath at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. This is where the Girls ask the Boys to the Dance and 300 tickets were sold for the event.

One of the Students went to one of the chaperone's and said something about the dance and they could smell the alcohol on their breath. This lead them to the entire posse he was with and they were all removed and asked to take breathalyzers. I'm not sure what happened after that. I do not believe any were arrested but I do believe the Parents were called in to get their children.

I just hope these kids that were involved were driving. If they were, they should be charged and learn a lesson. If they weren't, well, back in the day................. Times sure have changed.

Burglars burglarize - Vandals vandalize. Sometimes vandals burglarize but only if the opportunity presents itself. Burglars only damage property as necessary to facilitate entry. This is not the work of professional burglars. This is the work of kids, likely college students who had been drinking. They walk the streets at night coming from parties and do stupid sh*t.

Bike patrol manning a COPP substation would do wonders to catch people who carry out these types of acts as well as deter others from doing it as well.

One evening many years ago another deputy and I, while assigned to bike patrol in the Booth St. area, loaded up our bikes and took them to the Pine Bluff area. We rode for about a half hour and decided to slip back off of the road into the shadows to listen for the sounds of any parties going on. Within 5 minute 4 college students came walking by smoking marijuana. Guess what? 10-95....4 times....cds. Locked 'em all up. That's what I've been saying all along. COPP + substations + quality of life issues + zero tolerance = safer neighborhoods......as longs as it's done BEFORE the area turns into a ghetto. Better make a stand now, citizens, before it's too late. The clock is ticking.

CoCo's IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS







Talk about a BLAST for kids! CoCo's is in the Twilley Center and is currently open for Parties. Last night was their very first Party and you just wouldn't believe the fun these kids had! Drop by and see for yourself just how fun this place is. Oh, it's for KIDS, not ADULTS! LOL

Don't Forget To Visit The Delmar Model R/R Club TODAY!




They're located at 103 Line Road/State Street on Rt. 54. Before the R/R Tracks in you're heading West on Rt. 54 through town. Their hours are from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM today and 12:00 to 5:00 PM tomorrow.

Seriously Folks, take your kids to this one and you'll be back here thanking me to no end, you'll see. It's simply unbelievable.

Vandalism On Pennsylvania Ave In Salisbury




Now YOU look at the third photo and tell me if that's NOT attempted break-in and entering? The Salisbury Police want you to believe that's vandalism instead.

!!!!!MAJOR BREAKING NEWS AGAIN!!!!!

A Wicomico County Sheriff's Deputy has been arrested for Child Abuse and several Sexual Offenses on Minor Children.

The Officer was arrested today while attempting to pick up his own child at School. The Sheriff's Department wasted no time making sure there was an immediate separation of the two as soon as possible.

The Officer has been suspended without pay since it is a Federal Offense. ALL of his Police powers have been suspended as well.

At the Sheriff's request, he has asked the State Police to assist the C.A.C. (Child advocacy Center) in this investigation.

Vandalism On Virginia Ave & Pennsylvania Ave!

The vandalism wasn't just on Pennsylvania Ave. today. It also spread out to surrounding blocks including Virginia Ave. At least 12 vehicles had all their tires slashed on one block alone and one home had planters thrown through the windows. The Police refused to write that us as an attempted breaking and entering and instead called it vandalism. Want those numbers in certain categories down Chiefy? The Police admitted there were far more than the 12 vehicles vandalized on other surrounding streets.

Nevertheless, pictures will be coming soon. So to the Idiot who keeps sending in comments stating I am wrong, BITE ME! Must be The Daily Times because they never caught on to the story in the first place. LOL

Gilchrest To Host PAC Luncheon After Claiming To Not Take PAC Money

Gilchrest claims on his website that he does not accept PAC contributions, but now that he faces a serious primary challenge, he is soliciting them. This proves once again that Wayne has Changed!!!

See some of Wayne's Quotes and articles written about him not accepting PAC money below:

"I know special interest groups don't like me very much and are helping to fund my opponent's campaign. That's because I don't take PAC money and my vote can't be bought. I only accept contributions from people who can vote for me, and I wish every member of Congress subscribed to that." (Salisbury Daily Times, letter-to-the-editor, p. 6; 8/25/02)

The majority of invitations come from Political Action Committees. Gilchrest is one of about 10 congressmen who do not take money from these committees. (...) He also does not accept money from outside his d istrict, including from out-of-district relatives. "It's a huge commitment that is required if you want to accept PAC money," Gilchrest said. "It gives me a lot more time (to spend) on legislation." (Caroline County Times Record, pg. 5; 2/10/00)

(Democrat) Gies has very little money to try to defeat Gilchrest (...). The result is Gilchrest is in such a secure position he has been able to take a position virtually unheard of in modern politics. He is not taking any contributions from political action committees or from anybody who lives outside the 1st District. (Salisbury Daily Times, p. 4; 10/26/94)

Citing as his theme a "return to honesty and integrity in government service," Gilchrest expressed confidence that enough Democrats would cross over to elect him. (Star Democrat, pg. 1; 10/12/88)

Gilchrest said, however, he believes PAC contributions should be prohibited because they "unduly influence" politicians. (Salisbury Daily Times , p. 3; 10/17/88)

Gilchrest's Website: http://www.gilchrest.org/makeadonation.htm
The website is saved as an attachment to this email as well.

Wayne has Changed!

There is nothing wrong with candidates accepting PAC money from groups they agree with; however to tell the voters you won't accept them while quietly soliciting money from them is just plain wrong. The voters deserve better.

The Pocomoke/Fire Fighters Christmas Parade?








Wednesday night I was invited by the Pocomoke Tattler to visit him at his home and enjoy the Pocomoke Parade. It was such a pleasure to finally meet them in person and enjoying an evening of food and entertainment.

I've held off this Post because it has taken me a couple of days to go through all the pictures I took of just the Fire Departments alone in this Parade! Talk about your tax dollars hard at work! I'm telling you, there were Fire Departments from Virginia, Delaware and Maryland and the smell of diesel fuel was enough to choke King Kong!

Nevertheless, one after the other, Fire Trucks passed by, then a Marching Band every so often, interrupted by yet more LED Lights from Emergency Vehicles and then something cool would come along.

It started at 7:00 PM and went all the way to 9:30 PM. Don't they have something for these Fire Fighters to get their rocks off in Ocean City every year? I mean, this was unbelievable. Now look, I'm NOT against Fire Fighters and I know I'll get beat up over that one. However, COME ON NOW! This has got to be the biggest crock of shit I have ever seen in my entire lifetime!

2 1/2 hours of Fire Trucks, WHOOPIE! YAHOO! OH, MY NIPPLES ARE HARD! THIS IS SO EXCITING! OH LOOK MOM, THEY COME IN RED AND GREEN COLORS! If Pocomoke wants to sport THEIR Fire Trucks, I'm ALL for that. However, are you getting the idea it was too much? LOL

I'm so thankful the company was so great because I couldn't see didley for an hour after the Parade because of all those stupid led lights! Let me see if I have any normal pictures from this Parade besides Fire Trucks!

My sincere Thanks goes out to the Burke Family. Merry Christmas!

The Park On The West Side







Last night was an interesting evening of Politics & Concerned Citizens getting together for what would appear to be about the people.

However, it is my opinion after spending hours listening the almost everyone there speak, this is not the location I would recommend a Park be located. Allow me to explain why.

First of all, I trust Rick Pollitt. However, being that I have seen so much crap through the Mayor of Salisbury and the majority of the City Council, it's very easy for me to be skeptical.

When Rick started the meeting he mentioned there was a process. The County was not going to purchase this land if the Citizens didn't think it was the right place for such a Park. Rick also mentioned that IF they were to purchase the property, they would not develop the Park until ALL of the road infrastructure was complete first. Does anyone have a clue the millions upon millions of dollars it would cost just to upgrade those roads to accomodate such a facility?

What that says to me is, let's buy it just like all the other land we have purchased in the past and sit on it, (That may not be a bad idea either). Some properties are now being considered to dump sludge on because it wasn't the kind of land the County expected it to be in the end. Another piece of property, (Pirates Wharf) the County purchased has sat for 10 years now and Gary Mackeys stated 9 months out of the year the property is almost knee deep in water.

Now can someone please tell me how in the heck the County purchased such land in the first place? Secondly, how confident can the Taxpayers be if the County didn't research such property well enough to know it was wetlands most of the year?

Nevertheless, far too many people stood up against this Park and they had excellent reasons for why they didn't want it. One Citizen stated, we moved out here into the country because we wanted to get away from City life. We moved here to get away from the Parks and now you're shoving it down our throats? Another Citizen stated, we don't burden this area with a multitude of children for such a Park here.

Some Citizens complained a lot about the current road conditions and how there's no possible way the adults and or children could even ride biked down their roads. It sounded as if these people need help now, let alone when a Park would come to their area.

There were some who came stating they were in favor of such a Park. One of them, Anne Webster, President of the Hotel/Motel Assoc. strongly encouraged the economic impact from such attractions. Tom Fields lives right across the street from the proposed Park and stated he'd rather see a Park there than a housing development.

As for the appraisal, the County claims the two appraisals that did in fact come in were LOWER than what they had expected it to be. So the rumor of this costing $35,000.00 an acre could be far fetched. Then again, sometimes rumors get spread like this so when the REAL numbers come in, the Citizens think it's a bargain?

I personally like the Waller Landing idea better. Granted, it's a few miles from this location but like I said, it's a planned community in which people are going to know what they're getting into, rather than disturbing those people who moved to the country to enjoy the peace and quiet. I need to add, NO ONE has come forward with a piece of property for sale on the west side that would accommodate such a Park, period. That does make this an attractive piece of land but is it the right land for such a Park?

The County Council will have their hands full on this one. 4 out of the 7 County Council Members were there last night to hear every one's support and or concerns.

I'd like to add this final note. I moved to Bowie, Maryland in 1973. I watched that Town go from fields like we see around here now to an absolute Metropolis! People may complain about PG County and even Bowie but let me tell you something Bowie did some 35 years ago. Bowie had a Master Plan in which they created the most unbelievable Bike & Hikers Trail like you've NEVER seen before. The crap Comegys spews all the time about Bike Trails/Routes throughout Salisbury is NOT what it's supposed to be.

Bowie create trails around the entire City and through the entire City. I'm talking, (and I'm guessing) 10 miles of bike trails? It was NOT done on the side of roads already in existence. These were strictly for bikes, hikers, joggers, walkers, skateboarders, roller bladers and so forth and so on. It is a black top trail that just goes on and on throughout Bowie and now other Towns.

This is a model in which "I" personally believe should be considered from this point forward here on the Eastern Shore. Hebron would make a perfect start. Plan ALL communities whereas you can create a safe environment for everyone to enjoy. I know if this was available in Hebron, I'd bring my Grandson there regularly to enjoy a safe riding experience like Bowie has to offer.

Much of this could be funded by developers interested in building in Wicomico County. However, a Master Plan of a Trail like this must be looked at NOW, before things get too far out of control growth wise. If BOWIE could do it 35 years ago, Wicomico County could do it now before things do pop up too fast. I also believe property owners would be willing to donate small parts of their property to allow such trails to pass through. If you travel towards the Western Shore, even Kent Island and other surrounding Towns have trails right along Rt. 50. They're beautiful and some of the best entertainment around.

I'm sorry I went on so long about this but even though I come from the Western Shore, some times we COME HERE'S can enhance better living and yes, even cleaner living. More bikes create cleaner air and less use of fuel. Start working on a Master Plan for such, it can't hurt!

Keep in mind, this is just my oinion and I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say. That's what makes this Blog so cool. Agree with me or disagee with me, the end result is who wants what and perhaps the County can follow the comments made here to help them make a final decision.
