This Just In: America's Most Wanted Picks Up Missing Woman Christine Sheddy Case

I just got an email from the mother of Christine Sheddy with a link to America's Most Wanted, detailing her Missing Person's Case. You can click on the link below to see the site.
The wheels of Justice seems to move in Super Slow Mo, as we sent a complete package of everything we had compiled regarding Christine, to Americas Most Wanted in January.

Carrie Wise, daughter of murdered Pocomoke resident Judy Woljcik also started a letter writing campaign to AMW with hundreds of letters pouring in, all in hopes of getting national media attention.

At this point it appears from the AMW website that this is a Internet Case Only at this time. I didn't see anything on the site that indicated an air time for Christine's Case on the actual show.

Lets not forget to keep Christine, her family, and the officers in all of the agencies looking for her in our prayers so that she will be found.

Classified Ads On SBYNEWS

A couple of days ago, on one of Joe's post, 2 women advertised their vehicles for sale. Patty has a newer SUV all the bells and whistles and keeps it garaged. Donna on the other hand stated her older SUV, also with all the bells and whistles, could be seen on Zion Rd out in the front yard. We were informed today, Donna sold her SUV. Advertising cost...ZERO.

What can be said? Even if you post an ad in jest in the comments section you'll see results on SBYNEWS.

A Comment Worth Posting

"A few weeks ago, my husband & I wanted some fried chicken for dinner, so we drove into Popyes on north 13. He stayed in the car & I went in to order. While waiting in line forever, I witnessed an argument between a customer & an employee, it got pretty rough! They obviously knew each other. One couple in line walked out without ordering. When I finally got back to the car, my husband said he witnessed 3 drug deals right in the parking lot. A female employee came out the front door, pulled a baggie from her pocket picked something out of it and gave it to a guy who then gave her money. He also saw the same thing happening from the back area. This was in broad daylight and no one seemed to be worried about being seen. I was close to calling the cops but I wanted to get out of there in one piece. I hope the police know this is happening & comes down on them for this. I sure miss English Grill north & south for a bucket of chicken!"

How about that Chiefy of Police, eh?

Today's question of the day brought to you by Sbynews reader hip.boots:

If you lived in the day of the "Boston Tea Party," would you have joined in,
risking life and limb . . . against wrongful taxation? Or would you gladly be paying $4.00 for your cup of tea?

Our Very First Mike Clone

The last name may not be Lewis but one thing is for sure, Fruitland can now expect the very same kind of protection everyone has grown so comfortable with within Sheriff Mike Lewis.

Chief Phillips was sworn in last Friday in Fruitland and he came directly from the Maryland State Police, just as Sheriff Lewis did. Criminals have lots to worry about and Fruitland won't lose an ounce of the protection they grew so used to in the past.

Welcome aboard Chief Phillips and Congratulations Fruitland!

Hagerstown Fire Dept. Lands Federal Grants On Its Own

By DAN DEARTH
dan.dearth@herald-mail.com
GO HERE for the official article.

HAGERSTOWN — Although the City of Hagerstown in January hired a lobbying firm to help the city obtain federal funding, the Hagerstown Fire Department has gone it alone, with some success.

Hagerstown Fire Chief Gary Hawbaker said the fire department didn’t use a lobbyist to land nearly $2 million in grant money since 2002.

A committee made up of firefighters typically joins forces to write grants, he said. If they hit a snag, other fire departments in Washington County lend a hand — even though they are competing against each other — because “the pot (of available federal funding) is so big,” Hawbaker said.

The first attempt to land grants in 2002 was unsuccessful, but Hawbaker said the firefighters learned enough to improve their technique and, in 2003, they received two grants totaling about $32,000. The amount steadily increased.

This year, the fire department received $948,825 in federal grants, he said.

U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-6th, said he is willing to help the city obtain federal funding for its projects with or without professional help.

“I am working with the City of Hagerstown and the (Washington) County Commissioners,” Bartlett said in a prepared statement. “Lobbyists are not needed for me in assisting with their request. If they hire lobbyists, that is up to them, but lobbyists are not needed for my assistance.”

Melissa Schwartz, a spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., wrote in an e-mail that Mikulski met with Mayor Robert E. Bruchey II and representatives of The Ferguson Group earlier this year.

“At that time, Sen. Mikulski explained that she receives far more requests than can be funded, and does what she can to fight for priority projects,” the e-mail said. “She also encouraged them to look at competitive grant opportunities ... Sen. Mikulski’s door is always open to the City of Hagerstown.”

Sue Walitsky, a spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., said Cardin also is open to discussing federal funding opportunities with the City of Hagerstown.

“Sen. Cardin is working with Hagerstown and other Maryland cities to get funding every day,” Walitsky said. “Getting (federal money) for Maryland is a part of his agenda.”

SALISBURY REALLY LOOKS BAD!

Joe:

I just came home from in town - (Salisbury) -at 9:15 p.m.

My wife and I made a trip in town to try and escape our own home for an hour or two.

I passed by the -(Crack) - Royal Farm store - but decided the crowd looked to cede so I made a U-turn and decided instead to go to WAWA. When I got to WAWA it looked like there were hookers hanging out in front of the pay phones and also what looked like to be their pimps.

I actually locked my P/U in front of the gasoline pump so as not to give anyone the wrong idea about stealing from my vehicle.

Then, when passing down in front of Pepsi Cola on my return trip home I saw two City Police officers interceding in a fracas at Pizza City.

SALISBURY IS REALLY LOOKING BAD IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED LATELY.

I'm just happy to have made it back home to my house in Parsonsburg.

Thought you might be interested.

Fast Action Chief Jackson Steps Down

Well, its official Folks. The honorable Chief Jackson has given up his Post as the Chief of the Fruitland Police Department as of last Friday and has pretty much hand picked the honorable Mike Phillips to take his place.

The biggest disappointment I experienced with all of this was the fact that I did not get the opportunity to get to know Mr. Jackson like I wished I had. This is a gentleman that is so highly respected by just about anyone and everyone I've come across, with exception to that a$$hole Dumeyer. Sorry Chief but what an Idiot!

Besides all that, I put up a Post a week or so ago about his upcoming stepping down and the e-mail messages coming into Salisbury News was just overwhelming! It has certainly and obviously been my loss not having the opportunity to get to know this man better as one of the biggest things I love in life is WISDOM! This man is just loaded with it.

So to Chief Jackson, any time, any place my friend, I'll buy! Thank You Sir, for all the dedication, safety and hope you've given so many people in Fruitland. May you enjoy your future in the best of health. Oh, your Wife's a babe too! ;-)

Before & After

The Princess Anne Police Department was established in 1801 and the present station was built in 1857. Dubbed "The Grey Eagle" in old photographs, it is the only 19th century structure with load bearing walls in Somerset County. It is quite possibly the oldest continually operating Police Station in the State of Maryland.

The "Grey Eagle" operate as the Somerset County Jail from 1857 to 1987, when the current facility in Westover was completed. After that time the building was shared by the Town of Princess Anne and the Police Department.

In 1999 the Town of Princess Anne considered demolishing the building due to its increasingly decrepit state. However, the Town Commissioners voted to restore the structure instead and with the help of the Maryland Historical Trust, the Somerset County Historical Trust, the USDA and numerous other grants, construction began in 2003.

On June 27th, 2008, under the guidance of the Princess Anne Commissioners; the Town of Princess Anne and the Princess Anne Police Department proudly announce the completion of restorations and re dedicate the "Gray Eagle" as a symbol of pride in Historic Princess Anne.

Who's The Bumbling Idiot Who Designed This Stupidity?

For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to visit Isabella Street, here's what they did to it recently.

While I was there, NOT ONE vehicle swerved in and around this Indy Track, they all drove over the yellow lines and stayed straight down the road anyway.

Please don't tell me Comegys had something to do with this stupidity? I know Michael Day, (former Council Member) influenced this idiotic, stupid, ridiculous plan. It kind of reminds me of the Mayors idea for the Downtown Plaza. Oh, that failed too, right Barrie!

I'm begging someone to please step up to the plate and tell me ONE thing Barrie Tilghman has done good for the Citizens of Salisbury. I've seen her piss away more money on stupid amateur ideas and people aren't flipping her the finger enough in disgust.

OK, so now four Fire Trucks are driving down this STUPID road, where do you go? I've been told that even Chief See said they don't give a crap, they're driving over the curbs no matter what! That's one of the best things I've ever heard come out of his mouth, (allegedly) as a leader.

Well, you know my thoughts on this STUPID idea, what's your thoughts now that you've seen it?

The Eagle Has Landed

Princess Anne Police Chief Scott Keller

Commission President Frank White hand Chief Keller the proclamation.

Officers raise the flag.

Princess Anne Police Officers Salute the Flag.

Princess Anne's Finest.

Some 200 people came to participate in the Re dedication.

The Princess Anne Police Department held their Re dedication Ceremony on June 27, 2008 for their newly renovated Police Station called "The Grey Eagle."

While the entire group of Commissioners were present along with numerous dignitaries, almost 200 people were present to join in this celebration including Police Officers from the State Police and Wicomico County Sheriff's Department.

Salisbury News would like to congratulate Princess Anne for reinvesting back into history and showing you can take an old building and bring it up to today's standards. If you haven't been to this facility, drop in and let them give you a tour.

I've Seen Worse! LMAO

Gore Vidal: Bush Ended U.S. As a Republic

US Novelist, Historian and Social Critic, Gore Vidal claims that America is now dead as a Republic.

Grave Warning on Our Impending War with Iran

Kratovil Adds New Campaign Manager

Staff addition comes on heels of “Red to Blue” Announcement

STEVENSVILLE, MD (June 26, 2008). Frank Kratovil’s Congressional Campaign today
announced the hiring of veteran campaign operative Tim McCann, who will take
over as campaign manager July 1. The hiring comes a week after Kratovil’s
campaign was elevated to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s “Red
to Blue” list, signifying the commitment of party leaders to make Maryland’s
1st District a top priority this year.

“I’m excited to have Tim coming on board. Our volunteer staff has done a great
job so far and I know they’ll continue to excel under his direction,” said
Frank Kratovil. “Tim’s background in competitive Congressional politics will
give us a big boost as our campaign continues to build momentum and draw
national attention.”

Kratovil was added to DCCC’s “Red to Blue” list last week, an indication that
the national party sees the 1st District as one of best opportunities to pick
up a GOP-held seat this election cycle. Inclusion on this list of targeted
races will help Kratovil attract financial and structural support from the
national party.

“I’m excited to be joining the Kratovil team,” said McCann. “This is going to
be one of the most hotly-contested races in the country this fall, and I’m
looking forward to helping Frank win in November. Frank will be the independent
voice in Washington that 1st District voters deserve and expect.

McCann, a 2003 Georgetown University graduate, comes to Kratovil’s campaign
with a background in campaign management and new media strategy. He has worked
on Democratic campaigns at the municipal, congressional, and statewide levels
and spent the 2006 election cycle serving as deputy campaign manager on the
gubernatorial campaign of Texas Democrat Chris Bell. McCann spent the two prior
cycles working for a Washington, DC political consulting firm specializing in
competitive swing-district Congressional races.

The City Of Salisbury Is A Pain In The GrAss

Joe,

First let me say I enjoy your page and I read it everyday. Thanks for keeping the good people of Salisbury informed about what is really going on in our city. I am writing about something that happened to me yesterday that just has me fuming and my first thought was your website.

I get home yesterday after work to find this wonderful pick slip attached to the front of my house, only to find a sweet note from the city complaining about grass growing between the cracks of their sidewalk......On and on about how its in violation of section 8.08 and on and on and on. Bottom line is please cut the weeds from your side walk cracks.

See How nice my yard looks!!!! See how much grass in the side walk we are talking about?

Now let me say, I am all about making our city look nice and I have NO problem doing my part. But please see the photo below of the house next door. This is their yard! and yep you guessed it no pink slip for them!.

See the Jungle I live beside! You gotta love it!

Thank you so much City of Salisbury for have your priorities straight! I am so glad you can see where your time really needs to be spent!

You will drive by today and see the grass in my cracks are removed and my neighbors yard keeps getting taller.

Thanks for the justice! and welcome to Salisbury

Yesterday Was National HIV Testing Day....The Bronx Want to Test Every Single Adult Resident

In celebration of National HIV Testing Day, the New York City Government has hatched an idea to implement an aggressive three year plan to test every adult within the Bronx Burrow.

According to the Time Herald-Record Manhattan has the highest Aids cases and the Bronx has the highest death rate. This is attributed to residents waiting too long before being tested and getting necessary treatment. Medical professionals are ready to start making it part of a routine intake just like a Blood Pressure and Temperature Check.

Many people feel it is a way to make a DNA data base on an historically poor and minority population. Especially those who feel HIV AIDS was developed by the Government to exterminate certain types of people.

If Maryland made it mandatory that you get a HIV test would you do it?

Maryland State Police Make a Major Marijuana Bust In Willards

I was informed today, (no Press Release yet) yesterday the Maryland State Police made a major bust on a traffic stop in Willards. The driver was speeding and was pulled over. There was an obvious scent of marijuana coming from the vehicle. I'm awaiting the volume they recovered but from what I've been told it was pretty darned serious. Apparently the pot was found in jars.

I do have more information but I'm going to hold back on saying anything without a Press Release as I wouldn't was to impede on their investigation. Great Work Salisbury Maryland State Police!

Major Breaking Friday Night News

The New Salisbury Fire Department is falling apart! That's right! The ceramic floors from the new kitchen area are cracking and popping and some of the doors are having a hard time closing, one is off by 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches at the bottom and won't seal! They've got chairs not designed for the flooring in the new Station in which the engineers who recommended them completely screwed up. This is not caused by abuse, (scratching and marking the floors) from the Firefighters. They've had overflows from the bathrooms and flowed onto the carpeting. The new doors aren't working properly and they're having to relocate equipment because they cannot get certain doors open. They still haven't installed the speakers so Firefighters inside the building even know there's a fire in progress! Some pagers have dead spots in the building and the speakers are a must. Another piece of information just came in. You know those new big custom doors going into their new Conference Room, they're bowing and are visably showing major signs of not being level at the bottom of the doors. If a taxpayer saw all of this they would freak out.

What say you now Barrie Tilghman, Chief See & Deputy Chief Gordy?

A Letter To The Editor

Joe:

With the recent cataclysmic escalation of oil prices - (oil topped $142 a barrel in early - morning trading for the first time) - I feel that you must communicate this message to all of our government legislators - (City, County, State, Federal).

The time is well overdue to require all non - essential government personnel - (Police and ambulance as the only exclusions - NO OTHER EXCLUSIONS) - to be required to drive their State, Federal, City, vehicles to a designated terminal whereby their driving habits can be severely monitored and regulated.

With gas now towering in excess of $4.00/gallon it has become obvious that time has now reached CRITICAL MASS whereby accountability is demanded from the taxpaying public.

I propose the following actions, Effective Immediately, a designated terminal should be required for all County, State, City, and Federal vehicles to be turned-in at the end of each workday, again, no exclusions.

Dramatic measures are required to meet DRAMATIC FUEL COST CONDITIONS. It is only fair to the taxpayers for this system to be implemented ASAP as they are the ones footing the cost to subsidize the current sub-standard system.

Striped Icebergs

Amazing striped icebergs

Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by
layers of snow that react to different conditions.

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet
fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.

When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can
freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a
green stripe.

Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up
when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

Having the Internet means that we get to see something
that we never imagined!

Wicomico County Sheriff's Office Press Release

Incident: Possession of Crack Cocaine
Date of Incident: 26 June 2008
Location: 6100 Block of Florence Street, Salisbury, MD
Suspects: Kerry T. Flagg, 39, Pocomoke, MD

Narrative: On 26 June 2008 at 5:45PM, Sheriff Mike Lewis, along with deputies from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office, went to a residence in the 6100 block of Florence Street during the investigation of illegal drug activity. While at the residence, the Sheriff and his deputies began investigating both the residence and the subjects found there. It was during this that the Sheriff located what he recognized as crack cocaine in the possession of Kerry T. Flagg. Other deputies searched the area where Flagg had been sitting and located additional crack cocaine.
Flagg was arrested and transported to the Central Booking Unit at the Wicomico County Detention Center where he was processed and charged with Possession of Crack Cocaine. After an initial appearance before a District Court Commissioner, Flagg was held in the Detention Center on $3,000.00 bond.

Who is W. R. Witzke?

In Friday's Daily Times we were treated to an oddity - a letter to the editor that was both well thought out AND very well written. It didn't hurt that I was in full agreement with the author.

I don't know if Witzke is a man or a woman. I don't know whether he or she is a Democrat or a Republican. I do know that Witzke is either very intelligent or some kind of conservative savant.

Witzke has provided one of the most succinct and persuasive pieces against Wicomico County's antiquated dispensary system. We commend Witzke for his or her writing and logic. We also wish they wrote for us at Delmarva Dealings. We can always use an intelligent voice like this.

Question of the Day, Fri 6/27

Today is National HIV testing day. Have you ever been tested for HIV? Have you had a loved you die of such a disease?

Today is also "Decide to be married" Day. Are you happily married? How many years? Are you happily divorced?

Why We Need A Dispensary Referendum NOW

A well thought-out and literate editorial in this morning's Daily Times provides the answer. Our District 37 and 38 legislators lack the moral courage and political will to tackle this issue without the cover a referendum would provide.

A referendum is really not necessary. IF Wicomico's state legislators wanted to abolish this antiquated system, they could do so in January.

IF our Republican members are the true conservatives that they claim to be, we shouldn't have any problem securing their support. Why do we? How can one claim to be for a free market and yet refuse to abolish a government monopoly?

As for the Democrat members of the Wicomico legislative contingent, I'm a little more sympathetic. The dispensary system (statewide) has historically been a corrupt perk of days gone by and was even used as a perverse electoral tool prior to the 1960's. Democrats are loathe to give up any tool that once helped them maintain an iron grip on the state house.

As usual, Wicomico's County Executive is straddling he fence giving lip service to the POSSIBILITY of a referendum, while dragging his heels to keep the measure off of November's ballot. Ditto for some members of our county council.

Ultimately, no referendum - no action in Annapolis. That is why we need this measure on November's ballot. Without a vote by the people of Wicomico County, their representatives in Annapolis are simply too scared to touch an issue that should have ceased to be controversial upon ratification of the 21st Amendment.

A referendum itself is not a slam dunk. The Wicomico County Liquor Control Board will not hesitate to spend TAXPAYER MONEY to wage a campaign against its passage. Another corrupt perk of an institution that is no longer relevant.

One Year Ago Today

It's hard to believe $14,000,000.00 later the Salisbury Fire Department is finally complete and the redneck suckers running the joint got nothing more than a Morton Butler Style Building. I guess when you live in a Pre Fab home in Delmar or a Condo/Townhouse, who would know any better, right? It's not like they can say, we knew what we were doing! I mean, I dare you to find me a more expensive Fire Station ANYWHERE in the entire United States, seriously. Idiots!

Obama Reneged on the FISA Bill

In our upside down world in which we live it would seem that the Republicans would want to vote NO on FISA and the Democrats YES. However, quite the opposite is happening and the ACLU is all over it!

As most of you know I am extremely right winged so much so I cannot call myself a Republican but must call myself a Libertarian.

However as Ann Coulter calls him and I think I will follow in her footsteps B. Hussein Obama has stepped from the ranks of the Left and has voted with those on the Right to pass the FISA Bill.

The ACLU says it represents “an unprecedented extension of governmental surveillance over Americans.”

B. Hussein Obama, sounding on Friday a lot like Bush, said: “Given the legitimate threats we face, providing effective intelligence collection tools with appropriate safeguards is too important to delay.”

Here’s what Bush said the same day as Obama: The bill “allows our intelligence professionals to quickly and effectively monitor the plans of terrorists abroad, while protecting the liberties of Americans here at home.”

But it doesn’t protect our liberties, and Obama ought to know that.
Leading Dems are wondering if he has even read the bill! And if he has read it and still approves then it is an even bigger problem!

This bill permits minimal oversight by the Courts, The FISA Court only reviews general procedures for targeting and minimizing the use of information that is collected. The court may not know who, what, or where will actually be tapped, thereby undercutting any meaningful for the court and violating the Fourth Amendment.”

What’s more, in the incredibly rare instances where the FISA Court denies a warrant to the President, under the new bill the President can go ahead and do the wiretapping anyway while the appeals process continues, a process that the ACLU says can take two months.

So Why is B. Hussein Obama breaking ranks with his party and supporting this bill?

If you are supporting him you need to look into these issues and ask yourself if this is a liberty you want to just throw away. The other thing you need to ask yourself is ... What else will he break ranks on?

My next article is going to be in the form of a question...
Do you know the difference between a NeoCon and a NeoLib?

I'll Get Back To You On That
by Wicomico Surf

I was swimming in the Wicomico
Where did all the tootsie rolls come from, I don't know
It was gross and kinda bad
Though, I had to ask what happened today? Why am I feeling bad, this way?
She said "I'll get back to you on that"

Different day in the Wicomico
I think I know where my flushes go: In the Wicomico
Oh no, that's cold

Want to know what the problem is?
Want to find out can we fix it?
I don't know, I don't know

But "trust me: She'll get back to you on that"
Trust me "I'll get right back to you on that.

Maryland Chapter 3 Red Knights International Motorcycle Club Iron Butt Ride

Maryland Chapter 3 Red Knights International Motorcycle Club

Iron Butt Ride

**UPDATE**

June 22, 2008

We are off to a great start! Here are the current details!

DEPARTURE DATE: Friday, 27 June between 9 -10 pm

FROM: Berlin- Ocean City Wal-Mart

RETURNING: Saturday, 28 June before dark

TO: Berlin - Ocean City Wal-Mart

So far the route has been planned. I covers 1099 miles and will take a minimum of 18 hours of riding to complete. It involves all three states of Delmarva. The ride will be conducted in a self-paced style, that is to say that there will be a number of bikes participating, but they will be riding in groups no larger than 4 and 2 or 3 is preferred for safety reasons. Each rider will be able to ride at his or her own pace and follow the course stopping when it is necessary for each of the individuals or riding pairs. Safety will be of the utmost importance. Each rider will be linked by cell phone to the lead car and the following truck. This will allow riders to be informed and to inform the lead and following vehicle if there are any problems. *No riders will be expected to talk while riding, they will however be expected to check in with the lead or following cars from time to time during fuel and rest stops. This is again for safety sake.

Riders who become tired and are not able to complete the ride will be afforded the opportunity to be picked up by the follow-up truck and/or to be logged out of the ride and free to return home after they have gotten a chance to rest.

The departure time was chosen in an effort to provide the most daylight hours of riding, especially in unfamiliar areas. By leaving on Friday night, we will be riding in the dark for the first several hours while we are still amped up and on familiar roads. The majority of the ride will be completed during daylight hours. Riding during daylight hours, especially towards to the end of the ride, will be important to increase visibility during what will be your most tired riding time.

WHO: Any member of MD3 is welcome to put their name in the hat and ride. It was discussed that MD3 Road Captains would hold a meeting of riders a couple of times before the event to review the condition of not only the rider, but also the bikes. Safety is the most important part of any ride!

Our goal for the ride is to raise money for the Lupus Foundation. Riders will be asked to raise a minimum of $100 ridership fee with a goal of $250 or more if they are willing to go out and get the pledges. We will have pledge forms for members and riders to use in getting support for the ride soon. Remember if you are unable to make the ride, there are many other ways to contribute. Make a personal pledge to a club member who plans to ride. Raise pledges for a club member who plans to ride. Offer to drive or ride in lead or follow vehicles. Be there Friday night to support our riders. Come back Saturday as our members arrive home. There are so many ways to support this event!

Again we are looking for as many as 20 riders, one lead vehicle with 2-4 and a tailing truck with a trailer and a spare bike with a few members.

They are doing the ride to raise money for the Lupas Foundation. They leave from the Wal-Mart in Berlin tomorrow night at 8PM.
