!!!!!Dispatcher Screws Up Again!!!!!

OK, so this gets a bit more complicated but as you read this you'll come to learn just how screwed up the Salisbury Police Department actually is.

At 3:10 AM this morning a neighbor on S. Division Street called 911 for a break in & entering. She was redirected to the Dispatcher at the SPD. She explained how there were two black males breaking into the Exotic Sound Building on S. Division Street, across the street from Gene's Taxi.

The Dispatcher explained he was not familiar with the area, could she better explain where the building was located. She explained again how there has been banging going on for a while as they were trying to break into the building and gave her address again and told him it was right across the street from her home. She then explained it was on the corners of Washington Street and S. Division.

The woman and her Husband sat on the front porch of their home watching was was going on while two men used sledge hammers breaking through the cinder block on the building after cutting the phone lines. Once inside, rather than breaking open any doors, they simply broke through the walls to assure no contacts were broken, possibly setting off an alarm.

While the neighbors sat there in disbelief, the buglers couldn't fit the 50" Plasma TV out the opening, so they went back to busting out more cinder blocks while the Police were dispatched down to the Pep Boys area of Salisbury, (yes, you heard me right) to Delmarva Motor Sports and NEVER showed up at this business whatsoever. THEY WERE THERE FOR ALMOST 1 HOUR, NO POLICE!

The buglers made so much noise it isn't funny and they completely walked away from the business with a brand new, still in the box Plasma TV as well as inventory of stereos and other inventory from inside the business.

I started checking into this and came to learn that ANOTHER business in Salisbury recently experienced a similar situation, the RAC Center. The buglers broke into an Industrial Building next door, then used sledge hammers to bust through the interior walls to get into the RAC Center and stole a bunch of Plasma TV's and electronics there too.

This could have easily been a slam dunk arrest but because the Salisbury Police Department has hired young, inexperienced Dispatchers who DO NOT LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE AREA, these criminals are getting off scott free!

Hey Barrie, How's the Chiefy working for you now? Salisbury, the 10th Most Dangerous City In America. Dee, Dee, Deeee! Let me add. The woman used her LAND LINE, the Police should have had a general idea where they needed to go. She mentioned Gene's Taxi. IF the Dispatcher would have said that over the radio, the Officers would have known where to go. She said Washington Street and S. Division Street, how did they end up near Pep Boys? GOT ANY ANSWERS CHIEFY?

The Watch Desk Finally Gets Under Control

While things were getting heated up at The Watch Desk, (this is a Fire Fighters Website) it became very clear Chiefy See & Deputy Chiefy Gordy finally got control of ALL Fire Staff and pretty much shut that puppy down.

What I find most interesting is the fact that when they were attacking Rachel Polk & Von Siggers, no one could do anything and or gain any control over what was being said there.

Once the Fire Fighters spoke out using the "N" Word once again, Hostile Work Environment charges were placed against the SFD and they sure did shut that puppy down fast! So the Blogs have truly made inroads towards civility referencing racism and Chiefy's have proven they can control that Site after all.

I personally think it should have been stopped long ago but considering the language started from the top, I don't believe they wanted to do anything about the nasty things that were said in the past and now there are just too many people out there that could testify against these leaders and destroy their careers.

I'm please to have played a major roll in shutting down those Idiots on there making racist comments and my hat is tipped to See & Gordy for doing the right thing and showing those boys they were out of line. "One small step for man, one giant leap for man kind."

Where's Shanie & Barrie?

I know many of you don't make most of the meetings held with the City Council but this has become a tradition for Shanie Shields showing up late. In Monday's Council Meeting Shanie showed up more than 20 minutes after the Meeting started. I believe the last Work Session she showed up more than an hour late. Then to watch her fall asleep during these meetings, one has to wonder just what good she's doing for her community? She carries no paperwork. She never carries her Charter Book and she huffs and puffs and make comments under her breath any time someone says anything. I feel like I'm in a Baptist Church, (respectfully) every time I'm around this woman in meetings. They get a pay raise, I believe it was a 100% increase in pay and they don't show up, show up late and they're never prepared. As a matter of fact, I'd love to see Shanie Shields proposal for the actual budget last year? Didn't happen. "I like what Gary says." It too is a time for change in her District.

"Andy Harris Endorsed By The Washington Times"

Andy Harris receives the first newspaper endorsement of any candidate in race


Annapolis - Today, Senator Andy Harris proudly received the endorsement from the Washington Times. This is the first newspaper endorsement of the campaign season. In the endorsement, The Washington Times described Andy Harris as a "conservative leader" and the "antithesis of Mr. Gilchrest."


The endorsement said, "Mr. Harris is clearly the strongest conservative leader in the Feb. 12 Republican primary. The Washington Times is pleased to endorse Andy Harris."


"The Washington Times is recognizing what people throughout the district are learning as they examine the records of the candidates; I am the only conservative in this race" said Andy Harris. "I am proud to receive their endorsement."


"Mr. Harris, who also is an anesthesiologist, is the antithesis of Mr. Gilchrest. Mr. Harris did yeoman work in helping lead a filibuster against anti-gun legislation, and he has consistently fought for lower taxes and state spending. He is pro-life, and has led the fight against in-state tuition and driver's licenses for illegal aliens" read the endorsement.


The endorsement also examined the records of Andy's opponents in the primary. In the Washington Times, Gilchrest is described as "among the most liberal members of the House Republican Caucus." The endorsement goes on to point out numerous issues where Gilchrest no longer represents the values of conservatives such as: support for amnesty for illegal immigrants, his "disconcerting tendency to line up with Democrats on tax and spending issues," support for "taxpayer-subsidized abortions," pushing for environmental restrictions on property rights, and outspoken advocacy for pulling the troops out of Iraq.


On Pipkin, the Washington Times points out his support for O'Malley's budget, "generally pro-choice" stance, vote to extend rights to homosexual couples previously reserved for heterosexual married couples, and vote for giving free needles to drug addicts. The paper goes on to say Pipkin's "11th-hour decision to jump into the race is baffling."


"The endorsement further reiterates what our campaign has been saying; Gilchrest and Pipkin are two tax-and-spend peas in a giant liberal pod," said Chris Meekins, Campaign Manager for Andy Harris for Congress.


The Washington Times joins a long list of endorsements Andy Harris has received that includes former Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, seven of the eight state senators who represent parts of the district, and numerous other state and local officials.

Andy Harris for Congress
www.washingtontimes.com

December 12, 2007

Maryland's 1st Congressional District race has become the most closely watched Republican primary in the United States. For the past few months, there have been two serious candidates making their case to voters in the 1st District, a heavily Republican area covering the Eastern Shore and parts of Anne Arundel, Harford and Baltimore counties: One, incumbent Wayne Gilchrest, a member of Congress since 1991, is among the most liberal members of the House Republican Caucus, a lawmaker who lines up with Nancy Pelosi and against Gen. David Petraeus and President Bush on Iraq. His main opponent in the Feb. 12 primary, who we endorse today, is state Sen. Andy Harris, a member of the General Assembly since 1999 and a conservative leader in Annapolis.

For years, Maryland conservatives have quietly seethed while Mr. Gilchrest backed taxpayer-subsidized abortions and environmentalist-pushed restrictions on property rights. Mr. Gilchrest also cosponsored legislation to give amnesty to illegal aliens and has become an outspoken advocate of pulling troops out of Iraq. Mr. Gilchrest has a disconcerting tendency to line up with Democrats on tax and spending issues.

Mr. Harris, who also is an anesthesiologist, is the antithesis of Mr. Gilchrest. Mr. Harris did yeoman work in helping lead a filibuster against anti-gun legislation, and he has consistently fought for lower taxes and state spending. He is pro-life, and has led the fight against in-state tuition and driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

Two weeks ago, state Sen. E. J. Pipkin, Queen Anne's Republican, sent shock waves through the district by announcing that he, too, will challenge Mr. Gilchrest. Although we admire the work of Mr. Pipkin, a retired investment banker, in leading the fight against Gov. Martin O'Malley's tax-and-spend agenda, his 11th-hour decision to jump into the race is baffling.

There are strong political and philosophical reasons to favor Mr. Harris over Mr. Pipkin. Mr. Harris voted against the governor's big-spend budget earlier this year; Mr. Pipkin voted in favor. Mr. Harris is pro-life; Mr. Pipkin is generally pro-choice. As former Delegate Herb McMillan wrote Monday on our Op-Ed page, Mr. Harris opposes clean needles for drug addicts, while Mr. Pipkin has voted in favor. The two senators also disagreed on the Medical Decision Making Act, which established a state registry for homosexual "life partners" and was viewed as a first step toward legalizing homosexual "marriage." Mr. Pipkin voted in favor; Mr. Harris against.

All three major candidates for the Republican nomination in the 1st Congressional District are honorable, patriotic Americans. But Mr. Harris is clearly the strongest conservative leader in the Feb. 12 Republican primary. The Washington Times is pleased to endorse Andy Harris.

There's Something About Barrie

More Body Language

Besides the baked on tan, nice suit and steep price tags that go along with them, the body language says one of two things here, you decide?

1). I want to thank the City Council for hiring my Firm to do your yearly audits.
2). Is there ANYTHING I can do to answer any questions you might have?
3). Yes, by all means we expect to have the audit done on time next year.

OR

1). I got my money, do you really think I give a shit what this Council thinks?
2). You want it, WHEN? Homey don't play dat game.
3). Let's see, I've got to get my Wife a new Mercedes this year. Oh, that's right, I almost forgot, I have to pay the monthly dues for my tanning sessions, or should I bill that to the City? Y' All wish you looked as good as me with this tan. Oh, I'm sorry Mrs. Campbell, can you repeat what you were saying?

It's Witching Hour, I Have To Go!

Some call it Happy Hour, others call it Witching Hour? All I can tell you is, this past Monday Night, Barrie Tilghman was outta there faster than the speed of light once the brewing hour started. I personally think IF the Mayor is going to sit in on the meeting, she should be forced to stay the entire time. New Rule!

Dirty Little Council Secrets

If you can't find an up front parking space, MAKE ONE UP! That's what your Council President and Vice President do.

That's right. All of a sudden out of nowhere, Louise Smith is a Handicapped Person???? Not according to the Police Officer I summoned over to her vehicle to ask if she was legal. No, she was not. There's a VERY good reason why her Handicap Sticker is lying on the dash instead of where they're instructed to place it on the rear view mirror. The sticker is expired! That's how the Police would treat it anyway.

Being in a hurry the Officer had to move along but Louise is a low life piece of garbage, willing to illegally take a space because the parking lot was full when she pulled in. Now, let's talk about this for a second. Mr. Holland showed up somewhat late to the Council Meeting. IF Mr. Trader had been there and parked in a Handicap Space, then Louise would have been in the OTHER, where would Mr. Holland have been subjected to park, since there's only TWO Handicap Parking Spaces for the entire building?

You make me sick Louise. I even asked Shanie Shields if she got a Handicap Tag when she had knee surgery not that long ago. She replied, no, why? I told her about Louise and she just rolled her eyes.

Now let's get to that lazy piece of sh*t Comegys. So if there isn't a space, manufacture one. That's exactly what Comegys did too. He created a space past the last spot along Rt. 50. Next time Comegys I can assure you I will demand you get a ticket. Not that he'll ever have to pay it. However, I'll be standing there with camera in hand getting a picture of it on his vehicle. I was nice this time not demanding tickets be made out. However, I better never see this again.

Some EXAMPLE these two set for the rest of the Citizens, eh?

!!!!!Red Net Alert!!!!!

First a gun earlier this year and know knives. The following is a transcript of a letter sent home on Bus 94, Pittsville.

"To Parents of students riding bus 94:

This morning Mrs Elaine Kardiasmenos reported that a student had a knife on the bus. The student was escorted to a middle school classroom where the student was searched by the school administration. An investigation was conducted by the school administration and law enforcement. The student was in possession of three knives.

We have no reason to believe that the student had any intentions of doing harm to any students. The student indicated that he brought the knives to school to show his friends. The knives have been confiscated and disciplinary action has been taken.

Again, we applaud the student who shared concerns with the bus driver, which resulted in the investigation.

Sincerely Joyce Dunn Principal"

Calling 911

Most recently, (as many of you know) I called 911 and guess what I received? Maryland 911 Center. Now I live in Delaware several miles from the property on Jersey Road in Maryland that was on fire yesterday. The IDEA that you guys from the Fire Department want to SUGGEST they would have reached Delaware 911 is complete BS!

NO, you're wrong, didn't happen, NICE TRY! NEXT!

Pemberton Shore Stop Robbed Twice In 8 Days

The Shore Stop in Salisbury, (the 10th most dangerous City in America) on Pemberton Drive & Parson's Road has been robbed twice in the past 8 days. Guess what guys, if you don't patrol it, they're going to keep robbing it. Remember the graffiti last year? Let me ask you Barrie, How the Chief working for you?

911 Center Screws Up Royally!!!!!!

Clearly, the smoke still lingers in the sky as the fire continues to burn more than 24 hours after it started yesterday on Jersey Road.

HOWEVER, wait till you read what REALLY happened yesterday. What would you say if I told you when the fire started, the Son called 911 and they hung up on the young man, not once, but twice? OK, if that's hard to believe, get this. Then the Father gets on the phone, calls 911 and they direct him to a Verizon Call Center! OK, now you call 911 back for a 4th time and they send you somewhere else, they don't even know where the call went!

If 4 calls wasn't good enough, the property own quickly remembered he had spoken with a Fire Fighter who was going to be in charge of this Saturday's controlled burn and his number was still on his cell phone. So he made the 5th call to this person who then contacted the proper people to get someone rolling to the scene.

Look, I don't care what anyone says or thinks here but something needs to be done and it needs to be done right away. The 911 Center SUCKS and SBYNEWS.COM is the only place that has exposed such ridiculous hang ups from them. Imagine just how many that have been screwed up in the past that we haven't heard about?

Now is the time for some real discussion on this very serious matter. Let it roll!

OH, before anyone goes pointing fingers at anyone. I went to the property for a follow up today and spoke directly with John Culver and his wonderful Wife. MY information is from the horses mouth, respectfully. I'm sure See & Gordy will be trying to point fingers all over the Fire Department but they need to shut their mouths this time and answer to this serious situation. It happened, it's a fact, how are we going to fix it?

More Details On How Local Fire Departments Work

The Wicomico County Chief's Association is the responsible party for meeting and determining what departments respond to what fire. Despite what everyday citizens believe as to paying city and county taxes, none of that truly applies, unless there is a special arrangement. An example of this would be the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad, in Montgomery County. BCC is a volunteer corporation operating within the Montgomery Department of Fire and Rescue Services and they operate just like all the other Montgomery County fire departments. However, their close proximity to the neighborhood communities in Northwest, D.C. has their EMS units physically closer than other D.C. Fire/EMS units. In this case, many citizens of this area of Northwest subscribe (pay annual money) to have a BCC EMS unit respond to their call for emergency instead of D.C. Fire/EMS. I believe, and may be wrong, but I don't think that annexation has ever played much of a part into Wicomico County fire department response, unless recent annexation has made some inroads, but that would also require the involved municipalities talking with their respective fire department. The biggest factors have been "this has always been so and so territory" or "we've always done it that way".

In Wicomico County, to have a standardized dispatch assignment, the chiefs have to have consensus on the responses and units required. As far as I know most of the stations do agree to a three station response for structure fires, however there are differences. Fruitland has a two station response, to the best of my knowledge, for no really logical reason (this is why Clyde Avenue only was dispatched for Station 3 and Station 16) Stations 1 and 15 eventually responded but had to be specifically called (also, earlier, 200 South Division Street, Fruitland, house fire - only got Station 3 and 1). If chief officers are misguided by pride and selfishness, instead of providing the best service for the county residents, then you end up with chiefs picking and choosing who is called to the fire. To Salisbury's credit, they have come a long way and use the three station response. Years ago, you had to wait to be called, unless the chief officer responding could put pride aside and do the right thing.

Wicomico County Central, the county's 9-1-1 center, can only do what they are told, or requested, by either the chief officer agreements, or by what a chief requests at a fire. The commenter above is correct about a recent fire in Willards. On the gossip site (TWD) you can easily read the personality conflicts that cause a closer ladder truck to be staged on the fireground while one from further away is requested, responds and is given assignments. Windmere Court, Willards.

Using the agreed three-station response, the house fire initially was dispatched for Stations 8 (Willards), 7 (Pittsville) and 11 (Powellville). Tower 6 (Berlin) was requested to respond by Incident Command. Parsonsburg Truck 7 responded but was staged.

If citizens want to try and attach the thought of paying for services, then they need to investigate how fire departments currently determine 9-1-1 responses first.

Accident On Business Rt. 50 & Westwood Last Night

While traveling into Salisbury last night I came across this accident. I'm told everyone was OK.

OK, so here's what makes it interesting. NOTICE the Hebron Ambulance there, right? First of all, the street light above that intersection is burned out, so it's pitch black. I had my camera set at 1600 and I used a flash just to get this shot!

Anyhow, I took some pictures and to start with, a Sheriff's Deputy was on the scene, NOT the Salisbury Police Department. Wasn't this property recently annexed into the City?

Let's get back to the Hebron Ambulance. They were there in such a short period of time, Salisbury couldn't even come close to competing and let me explain more. Because of finances, See & Gordy have forced this territory to be served through the SFD and took it away from Hebron. WHAT? That's right. NOW, do YOU see a Salisbury Ambulance there? NO!

As a matter of fact, I did my thing there and after a while I left. I swear to you, I got all the way Downtown before a Salisbury Fire Truck was turning off Mill Street onto Rt. 50 and heading off to the accident. UNBELIEVABLE!

Now look, I know this is going to be harsh but I have to say it. SAVE LIVES, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Your leaders are so freakin desperate for funding, they'll risk lives, NOT save them, just to get additional funds to pay for their $10,000,000.00 bullshit Station.

NOW, that being said, why would it take so long for Salisbury to simply leave the Station? Because they are so short staffed, NO ONE wants to work there and wait till the new building opens, it will be even worse.

I can see it now. All the criminals and thieves will be able to sit at home waiting for one thing, the sirens to go off. Once they go off they'll wait a few minutes till 30 4x4 pickup trucks come screeching around the corner racing to get to the Station, then they'll hop on the trucks and as soon as these criminal see them pull away, time to break into a few trucks. ROTFLMAO! Yeah, Chiefy Webster will have cameras on the building so fast the taxpayers won't see straight!

Then what do you do? Well, if you're a criminal you simply wear a hood/mask. I guess the Police could get smarter and every so often sit outside the Station waiting for something like this to happen. Lord knows in the 10th Most Dangerous City in America, they don't have anything better to do, right?

Anyhow, no one else has ever challenged the Local Fire Departments and I'm here to stay. It is run by Flip & Flop and they are clueless, IMO. So do throw money in those donation envelopes Folks, it will go to pay for INSURANCE at the new Fire Station because they'll be needing it.

Anyway, Nice Job on the response time to this accident Salisbury. And thanks for Keepin It Unreal.
