ARMORED TRUCK OVERTURNS ON I-95 IN HOWARD COUNTY

Elkridge, MD) - Maryland State Police are continuing their investigation into a mid-morning crash on I-95 in Howard County involving a pickup truck and an armored truck that lost part of its load and sent two people to area hospitals.

The driver and passenger of the armored truck were injured as a result of the collision. The driver is identified as Charles A. Cavanaugh, 38, of the 12000-block Brandenton Drive, Fredericksburg, Virginia. He was transported by ambulance to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center with serious injuries. The armored truck passenger is identified as Woldeab B. Gebeyehu, 44, of the 100-block North Ripley Street, Alexandria, Virginia. He was transported by ambulance to St. Agnes Hospital with non life threatening injuries.

The driver of the pickup is identified as Carl F. Schilling, Jr., 44, of the 600 block Miller Road, East Greenbush, New York. He was the sole occupant and not injured in the crash.
The preliminary investigation indicates that shortly after 9:00 a.m., Schilling, driving a 2008 Chevy Pickup pulling a utility trailer, was traveling in the second lane from the left on northbound I-95 at I-895 when he attempted to merge into lane number three. Mr. Cavanaugh observed the pickup truck attempting to change lanes directly into the path of his Loomis Company armored truck and attempted to take evasive action by steering to the right, but struck the trailer being pulled by the pickup truck.

After the armored truck struck the trailer, Cavanaugh lost control of the vehicle and overturned along the right roadside, causing the rear doors to come open and an undisclosed amount of United States quarters to fall from the armored vehicle. The remaining U.S. currency stayed in the vehicle. Troopers from the Waterloo, Glen Burnie and Golden Ring Barracks and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division responded and immediately secured the scene.

Personnel from the State Highway Administration and Loomis Company responded to assist with the incident. The money was transferred onto another Loomis Armored vehicle that responded to the scene. Loomis officials would not advise how much money was being transported at the time of the crash. All lanes of northbound I-95 reopened shortly after 1:00 p.m.

No charges have been filed at this time. The investigation is being conducted by troopers from the Waterloo Barrack.

The investigation is continuing….

Salisbury Man Sentenced To 20 Years For Robbing A Fruitland Convenience Store With A Gun

On Thursday, April 2, 2009, 37-year-old Isaac Fields was found guilty of Armed Robbery, Robbery, 1st Degree Assault, Use of a Handgun in a Crime of Violence, 2nd Degree Assault, Reckless Endangerment, and Handgun on a Person and sentenced to 20 years in the Division of Correction.

Assistant State’s Attorney Jennifer Rothschild says late on the night of August 24, 2008, Fields walked into the Eagle Express Mart in Fruitland, pulled a handgun out of his waistband, and demanded money from the clerk. Fields left the store with $968.00. Rothschild says nearly a month later, on September 23, 2008, Fields was apprehended at a traffic stop by Salisbury Police.

Assistant State’s Attorney Kristen Ross says, then on February 12, 2009, Fields was convicted of Felony Possession of a Handgun for the gun found on Fields during his September 23, 2008 arrest and sentenced to 5 years without parole.
Fields’ 20-year sentence for Armed Robbery is consecutive to the 5-year sentence for Felony Handgun Possession.

Both of these cases were a joint law enforcement effort of the Fruitland Police Department and the Salisbury Police Department.

Noise Ordinance

OK Salisbury University Students, you heard what Mr. Comegys said Wednesday night in the Mayoral Forum. Click on this video and then come back here and tell me what you think NOW.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. This man will say and do whatever it takes to become Mayor of Salisbury.

For those of you who couldn't attend Wednesday nights Mayoral Forum at SU, Mr. Comegys said the noise ordinance was about commercial vehicles making too much noise, like trash trucks.

However, I think Chief Webster and Gary Comegys make it VERY CLEAR what their intentions were. This video was taken the night they voted in the ordinance, clearly going after the Students.

ALL SU Students need to vote for Jim Ireton. He'll never lie to you. He's a good man and he deserves your vote. I don't know what other proof we can offer and I hope the word spread around campus about coming here to see this video because we deliver the facts, period.

Providing Fire & EMS Is Not Constitutionally Mandated In Salisbury

I know, let's build a $14,000,000.00 Fire Palace and buy $5,000,000.00 worth of Fire Trucks to boot. Yet we don't have to provide you service if we don't want to. So how do we supplement that Folks? Oh, that's right, Gary will figure it out for us AFTER we foot the bill. Bubba, Yo Nex Mare?

To ALL Salisbury University Students

To those of you who were at last nights Mayoral Forum who listened to Gary Comegys state this noise ordinance was not targeted towards College Students, watch this video. Then call the Mayor's Office today and ask just how many tickets have been given out to TRASH TRUCK making too much noise, as Gary said last night this new law was targeted towards. There are NONE. Gary is full of crap, period. That law was created to slam the college students and I have personally sat in several court rooms and watched these students get slammed with fines and having to hire lawyers like T.J. Maloney to represent them, 3, 4 & 5 kids at a time. The City is making a small fortune on this and that's all there is to it. VOTE for Jim Ireton!

T T T T T T TRUST ME????????

OK Folks, here's the video you want to see over and over again. Here's the guy who says it time and time again, "TRUST ME." How's it working for you Folks! How many years have passed since this taping and how far along is the old mall redevelopment coming?

T T T T T T TRUST ME! Listen to that radio interview again on the right hand side of the Blog where he goes on and on about the WWTP, T T T T T T TRUST ME! Gary Comegys history in the City of Salisbury is a joke. He never attends Zoo Commission Meetings. Look at their minutes and see for yourself. Do it QUICK too before they change those or pull them so they're not available any more. Better yet, before Barrie has them shreaded.

Gary = Barrie

Blogger Claims Police Search Of Home Was A Threat

The Arizona Republic

Police officers accused of drunken driving. A female officer's alleged promiscuity and infidelity. A commander whose critics labeled his son a child molester.

Jeff Pataky said he uses negative complaints and anonymous tips to fuel his blogging crusade against Phoenix police. A headline on his Web site suggests rewards would be provided for "dirt" on police indiscretions.

Pataky, a former software sales and marketing executive who now focuses his energy shoveling content on www.badphoenixcops.com, said he believes his online criticism of the department - along with past criticisms of police investigations - led officers to serve a search warrant at his home last week.
Police officials said Wednesday that a Phoenix detective prompted the investigation after complaining about harassment, though they declined further comment.

Pataky said he felt the investigation was a response to a lawsuit he filed on Monday in U.S. District Court saying he was maliciously prosecuted by police in 2007 after his ex-wife accused him of harassment, a case later dropped. In his lawsuit he's asking for an unspecified amount for damages. City officials declined to comment on pending litigation.

Wicomico County Sheriff's Deputy Arrested

Wicomico County Sheriff's Deputy Joel Arnold was arrested last night for domestic abuse charges. Joel had a disagreement with his live in girlfriend and things simply got out of control.

Joel has been suspended with pay and was released by a County Commissioner on his own recognisance. The entire investigation is being done by the Salisbury Police Department.

Enough Is Enough!

This rally is not about the present candidates; this is about standing up and letting it be known that we, as citizens have had enough and we want it to stop now.

The intimidation, smear tactics and down right dirty politics has been going on every 2 years for the last 10 years and every election cycle it becomes progressively worse. We must put a stop to these tactics.

Sure, politics can get dirty but this, this is beyond dirty. When the elderly, single moms, people of lower income and college students, the most fragile of our community, are in fear of not being able to afford their homes or apartments due to outright lies, it is time to take a stand and let those responsible know we're not going to tolerate this type of behavior any longer. We have had enough.

We as Americans have a constitutional right to cast our vote for whomever we choose, without fear of retribution, retaliation or intimidation. People have lived in fear of retaliation from the Tilghman administration AND the special interests who have benefited from it for far too long. Citizens are afraid to stand up and speak against the wrongs. Afraid theyl lose their business. Afraid theyl be fined into debt for speaking out. We remember Brenda Cox.

Fear of retaliation, retribution and intimidation is the cause of many of our problems. It has gone on for too long and it has gone too far. We have had enough.

Enough is Enough!

Laurel Man Wanted For Assault

Ellendale – The Delaware State Police are seeking the assistance of the public in locating a 33-year-old Laurel man who is wanted in connection to an assault. Yesterday at approximately 9:50 pm, troopers responded to residence on New Hope Road in Ellendale after it was reported Dwayne A. Daniels forced entry into the 50-year-old male’s home and assaulted him.

The investigation revealed Daniels went to the home, forced entry by breaking through the front door, and proceeded to assault the victim by punching and biting him. The reason for Daniels presence at the home was that he was seeking the location of an ex-girlfriend and discovered she was with the homeowner.

The assault occurred in the midst of the 24-year-old ex-girlfriend and her two children ages four and three. Daniels is also the father of these children. As the assault was occurring, the woman called 911 prompting Daniels to flee the home. The victim sustained several abrasions, contusions and lacerations. He was taken to Milford Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released.

Arrest warrants have been obtained on Daniels for Burglary 1st degree (F), Assault 2nd degree (F), two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child (M) and Criminal Mischief (M).

The Delaware State Police are currently seeking the whereabouts of Daniels and are asking for anyone who has information to contact investigators at Troop 7 at 302.644.5020 or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.TIP.3333.

Dance Moves That Rock!

ToxicGate Continues

At the bottom of this story are three links going back to February 2008 where we broke some interesting news about the Wicomico Landfill and the runoff from their storm water management. We were ultimately told that everything they were doing was perfectly legal and confirmed through the MDE.

However, today we will expose new information in which the County did NOT expose to us at the time we were investigating this story, which seems very convenient. As it turns out, we're again told by Jim Finneran that what they are doing is perfectly legal and the MDE is aware of it. However, once again YOU have not been made aware of it and quite frankly I have spoken with the County Council and they are NOT aware of it.

The photos above are evidence of Wicomico County taking untreated "Garbage Juice" or better known as sludge directly from the Wicomico County Landfill, (Trash Mountain) pumping that "Garbage Juice" into a tanker and driving it all the way to the other end of Salisbury on Citation Drive, (near the Wicomico Humane Society) and dumping this untreated sludge directly into a sewer drain. They are bringing it out to a very private road in the middle of nowhere. The County is claiming that it allows the untreated "Garbage Juice" to be mixed with the rest of the sewage before it makes its way to the WWTP as it gets diluted.

Here's the catch. There are two lagoons at the Wicomico Landfill. They are filled to the maximum capacity. You would think the County would have built a new lagoon, (a third) but there's perhaps two problems with that. One is, perhaps the County can't afford to build another one and two is, perhaps there's not enough room at the Landfill. Both being said, there's a serious problem here. The Salisbury WWTP cannot handle the "Garbage Juice" being sent directly to the WWTP from its present location. They again claim it needs to be filtered with other sewage but it begs to question how the Landfill can be properly operated. If this was a Private Landfill, the MDE would be all over them and perhaps shutting them down? Mind you, the City no longer accepts sewage from companies that clean out septic tanks, so why can't they handle 36,000 gallons a day from the Landfill with their new system?

Private Companies like Perdue are forced to treat ALL of their water, no matter what it is or where it comes from. Jim Finneran again states that the MDE is aware of what they're doing and it's perfectly legal. OK, I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with the fact that we also have a witness that has seen City Trucks with the City Logo on the cab of the truck driving back to that same area and dumping into the same drain.

You see, the problem I see is not necessarily the County, (although this all seems suspicious) it's the fact that the WWTP no longer has a Sludge Pit like they used to have to dump into whenever there's a large storm. Because the WWTP used to get overwhelmed every time the was a storm, they would drain the system and pump the sludge into the sludge pit. Now remember, storm water does NOT go into the WWTP, so I could never figure out why excessive rain had anything to do with any overflow there? Nevertheless, that was their excuse. Since the removal of the Sludge Pit, where is all of this overflow going now? My guess would be that they too are bringing any overflow all the way out to this location and dumping it into the sewer drain there, (7 miles or more away) and it slowly makes its way back to the WWTP. What's this costing the City taxpayers and or all of those people using the WWTP?

As far as the County is concerned it has been reported that there is at least one tanker that makes anywhere between 6 to 7 truck loads a day, seven days a week from the Landfill to this sewer drain 7 miles away, (or more) holding 6,000 gallons of "Garbage Juice" PER TRIP! Since I was not able to catch a City Tanker there today, I do have a source that has in fact seen tankers from the Salisbury WWTP dumping there as well. So we've got the City and County dumping questionable untreated material to the furthest point away from the WWTP in the hopes that when it's mixed with other sewage it somehow filters it and dilutes it?

Again, while the County states what they are doing is perfectly legal, (in which I do not doubt) it begs to question two things. Number one, since the storm water runoff goes directly to the River and not the WWTP, how can the Mayor and Gary Comegys state that the WWTP gets overloaded every time it rains? It reminds me of what Gary said today on the WMDT Forum when he said, the WWTP Upgrade is like trying to drive your car to Baltimore while changing the engine as you're driving along. Well Gary, first of all that's impossible. Second, just like I've told the Mayor in the past, that statement is just STUPID!

The second part that begs another question is, what will the environmentalists think about all of this? Corporations are forced to process ALL of their sludge no matter where it comes from. The County is processing very nasty runoff straight from Trash Mountain and NOT from the storm water lagoons. Every County Council Member I spoke to so far never had a clue this was going on. So much for open government. I'm confident the City's attitude is, what you don't know can't hurt you.

No matter how you look at it, if YOU are paying sewer fees with the City, YOU are paying for this material to be processed. I know Mr. Finneran stated that it's a wash and it very well could be. However, I'd like to see the details, wouldn't you?

What becomes even more clear to me about issues like this is, what else is going on that we don't know about? The ONLY way we're going to find out is if Jim Ireton is elected your new Mayor tomorrow. I'm confident that Gary Comegys would never expose such information. Heck, when I went to two of the City Council Members telling them there were 5 new Fire Trucks in the Budget they said, no there's not. I said, oh yes there is. They not only couldn't FIND it in the SFD Budget, they had to go to John Pick directly and ask him if this was true. Mr. Pick had to tell them the truth and walked them through where they were hidden, that's how good the Tilghman Administration was able to hide millions of dollars worth of equipment!

When Jim Ireton is elected and we see a Line Item Budget, one thing I can almost assure everyone is the fact that you will see millions of dollars freeing up. This is absolutely a necessity of everyone doesn't want to see a major tax increase VERY SOON!

So either the game is over and we're able to see some relief or the game continues and you fall deeper into debt with no accountability. Remember, many things are happening right in front of your face yet you were completely unaware of it. Right or wrong, good or bad, keeping matters like dumping toxic material down a man hole and perhaps overwhelming the WWTP is an expense to YOU, not the City or County. I say, business is business. Make the County pay for their processing and also make the City pay for all their dumping. Get it on the books because no matter what is said, YOU, (the people paying water and sewer fees) are ultimately paying for it and you take a minute and guess what it would cost YOU to dump this kind of toxic material into ANY sewer plant!!!!!

Again, these are the old stories we provided last year in which we feel on a day like today when there's more than usual rain, perhaps some of that run off is actually making it to the River and not into a tiny 6,000 gallon truck to be processed into the WWTP. Remember Folks, the Tilghman Administration wants you to believe all this rain is overloading their system, which is a complete line of crap. The storm water doesn't make it to the WWTP, it goes into the river instead. Now let Gary Comegys explain why they were regularly discharging overflows into the river now!

Illegal Aliens

Editor,

I've always believed that there were several reasons that our politicians refused to close off our Southern border to stop the flow of illegals into our country. One is that the illegal immigrants who work are cash cows of a sort in that most have taxes taken out of their pay and will never fill out a return to claim overpayments or collect Social Security. Another reason is that if ever they are given amnesty and ultimately permitted to vote, the politicians will claim their respective party is responsible for the amnesty and will do everything they can to convince these "new" voters that they are entitled to their votes.

As I was reading over my tax information and preparing to take my tax info to our accountant, I noticed on page two of IRS publication "New Wage Witholding and Advanced EIC Payment Tables" there is an interesting section starting on the left side. "Witholding Income Taxes on the Wages of Nonresident Alien Employees". This section actually instructs employers to withold taxes from the paychecks of Nonresident Aliens based on a HIGHER income than they actually make. And they include a table:

Weekly payroll - calculate their taxes based on $138.00 more than what they earned;

Bi-weekly - $276.00 more

Semi-monthly - $299.00

Monthly - $598.00 more

Quarterly - $1798.00

Semi-annually - $3590.00

This in no way effects what they actually earn but changes dramatically what they bring home. It doesn't effect their tax liability but would increase greatly the amount of any refund - if they file a tax return. These numbers do not affect Social Security Witholdings.

Here's my question. How many of these "Nonresident Aliens" actually file a return? 2%? 5%? 10%? Can you imagine the amount of additional money the government is collecting using this method? How about Social Security? 15.3% of earnings of "Nonresident Aliens" go into the fund with almost none collected by those earning the money (except for half of the 15.3% which is contributed by employers which comes from employers earnings).

Our government is using these "Nonresident Aliens", whether or not they are here legally, as a method of collecting even more tax revenue.

For those of you who think that most employers pay illegals in cash, I would urge you to go to the bank on a friday evening and notice how many of the people there cashing paychecks likely fit into the "Nonresident Alien" category. I think it's safe to say that a HUGE number of "Nonresident Aliens" are illegal - like it or not. Call me what you will, only a fool ignores what's right in front of his face.

Point is that our elected officials are taking advantage of the ignorance of "Nonresident Aliens" regardless of their status and this is yet more proof that there is an ulterior motive for NOT stopping the tide of illegal immigrants flowing into this country. It doesn't matter that over 80% of the people in this country want to stop illegal immigrants from coming into this country - the government will not stop it due to the money it brings in revenue.

Baltimore County Seeks To Strengthen Rental Laws

Communities say occupancy limits are being circumvented
By Mary Gail Hare
April 6, 2009

Prompted by complaints of irresponsible landlords and tenants, the Baltimore County Council is scheduled to vote Monday on strengthening the law governing rooming and boarding houses.

The proposal would eliminate the ability of absentee landlords to circumvent zoning regulations by creating limited liability corporations giving tenants a small share of ownership. Rules limiting the number of unrelated tenants in a house to two don't apply to owners. Residents say the practice is especially a problem in neighborhoods near college campuses.

He was able to come home from John Hopkins for about 1 day but has returned since and will be there for some time. At Riverside and Milford Street Pharmacies we are selling Assorted Candy bars and Old Towne Candles, so far we have been able to give the family some assistance with food etc. This week, April 6-10 we will be having a bake sale at both locations as well.

We are looking for different companies to donate food items so that we can have a Chicken BBQ in a few weeks. If anyone is willing to help please call me, Christina @ 443-880-1963


Please Keep Jesi and his family in your thoughts and prayers!!!

The Truth Behind Pulling The New Ladder Truck Out Of Service

Even though some Firefighters got on her and lied about why the new Ladder Truck was pulled out of service, the truth is that another driver hit a light pole or telephone pole with the rear bumper and did some serious damage. Enough to pull it out of service anyway. To those Firefighters thinking they can get away with claims like it was pulled for service work, we will find the truth and it will get exposed. That being said, do you really want to continue to cover things up and lie to the public?

Rt. 50 Drawbridge

"Joe,

I am relatively new to your site but must say I enjoy the realism of your reporting. I was wondering if you have ever covered the drawbridge(s) and their inopportune openings(6:00 PM Friday?), but more importantly the malfunctions that always seem to occur. The best case scenario is you are only stuck for 30 minutes. As was the case of last thursday the bridge gates get stuck down. After 40 minutes of maneuvering to get out of the mess the thing was still stuck. The most concerning part of this ordeal was the ambulance that was coming through the traffic only to get stuck at the bridge. It took at least 10 minutes to get turned around and potentially could have been the difference between life and death. Now I understand things go wrong and break. However, I have seen 3 different instances recently with this bridge either being stuck in the air or with the arms being stuck down. Who are the morons in charge of this bridge and why can't they fix it correctly?

Keep up the good work."

Thanks to the Bridge not being up 99.9% of the times Comegys, you have to be wrong. I mean, if Gary Comegys and Chief see say that this is just about impossible, you must be wrong, right? NOT! ANOTHER reason to vote for Jim Ireton. He doesn't have to LIE to the Public to get a project sold and then come back later and make excuses. Thanks for sharing.

AFP Kick OFF

Over 50 AFP-Maryland supporters attended the chapter kickoff press conference at Lawyers Mall demanding accountability from their elected officials and less government intrusion into their daily lives. National President Tim Phillips took the time to talk to everyone in attendance before and after the conference.

Cookie Kiser, owner of the famous "City Line Diner" on Ft. Smallwood Rd, stole the show. As an entrepreneur, single mother, and employer of 30, Cookie lamented about the future of Maryland if we continue down the current path of large deficits and an even larger government. Higher taxes and more government interference will force her to layoff employees, and may even force her to close shop permanently.

Americans For Prosperity Maryland thanks everyone who attended the kickoff and for a great start!

Maryland still needs your help! Together we can reaffirm and promote the fundamental principles that our Country were founded on. The principles of limited government and free market benefits each and every Tax Paying Citizen of Maryland.

How Well Do You Know Councilwoman Debbie Campbell

A Thing Of Beauty

Redneck Pregnant Couple

An Alabama couple, both bonified rednecks, named 'Bubba' and 'Bubbie-Sue' had 9 children. They went to the doctor to see about getting the husband 'fixed'. The doctor gladly started the required procedure and asked them what finally made them make the decision. Why after nine children would they choose to do this?

Bubba replied that they had read in a recent article that one out of every ten children being born in the United States was Mexican, and they didn't want to take a chance on having a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish.

Tea Party Update

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

As of last Friday, Tax Day Tea Party rallies have been scheduled in nearly 1,500 cities in all fifty states.

As more fed-up taxpayers learn about it, the event is shaping up to be a unique occurrence in American political history.

Help spread the word -- because of our biased media, many people still have not heard of the event.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - TODAY IS THE DAY

Sent in by another loyal reader.

I received this tonight and thought you would want to share it with your readers. Thanks.

If you are tired of the voter intimidation and scare tactics that surface every two years during city elections please, join us Monday at 10:00 a.m. for a peaceful demonstration in front of the GOB.

This is about the scare tactics and intimidation of voters that has been allowed to progress over the years. It is about our constitutional rights as citizens of the United States to cast our vote without fear of retaliation from anyone. This is about YOU.

Sure, politics can get dirty but this, this is beyond dirty. When the elderly, single moms, college students, and low income families, the most fragile of our community, is in fear of not being able to afford their homes or apartments due to outright lies, it is time to take a stand and let those responsible know we're not going to tolerate this type of behavior any longer. We have had enough.

This has been going on every 2 years for the last 10 years and every year it gets worse. We must put a stop to these tactics.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Please join us.

Editors note: It looks like more than a few citizens have been pushed over the edge by the recent low down, dirty tricks played by SAPOA and the Comegys camp.

The Daily Times: Ireton, BOE Reach Agreement

Tentative agreement would allow mayoral candidate to work part time
By Laura D'Alessandro • Staff Writer • April 5, 2009

SALISBURY -- Mayoral candidate Jim Ireton and the Wicomico County Board of Education reached a tentative agreement last week to allow the candidate part-time hours if elected Salisbury's next mayor, according to the county's superintendent.

Ireton reportedly told Mallard Landing residents during a forum Friday about his new work schedule agreement with the Board of Education, but later denied speaking in detail about the issue with residents when interviewed by The Daily Times. He said he told residents who attended the forum that he had made a request and was awaiting approval.

Ireton is currently a full-time reading teacher at Westside Intermediate School in Hebron.

Fredrickson offered more details, saying Ireton's new work schedule would not go into effect until next fall, if finalized.

"It will be a system that works well for families, the educational system and the city of Salisbury," he said.

The position will amount to half time, but as long as Ireton works 17.5 hours per week, he will receive benefits and will still be required to participate in workshops, parent-teacher conferences and PTA meetings. Fredrickson said the only difference is that Ireton's salary will no longer cover all of his insurance deductions. But according to the superintendent, the procedure is common among about 10 percent of Wicomico County teachers and said Ireton was tentatively granted the request because of the interest he takes in the community.

"He has been one of our real strong reading teachers, and we want to have him for that," Fredrickson said. "He's got some real skills in getting children to increase their reading skills."

Frances Tilghman, Mother Of Matt Tilghman Passed Away Today

Frances Tilghman, Mother of Matt Tilghman, sadly passed away today. Let me tell you Folks, every single word and story I have heard over the years about this woman has been absolutely top shelf.

Frances was President of the Humane Society for 6 wonderful years and a member of the Salisbury Kennel Club forever. I can recall Matt Tilghman at the Salisbury Kennel Club Grand Opening speaking about his Mother and how much she loved what the Kennel Club had to offer.

One individual said something to me today about Frances I had never heard before and I'll enjoy sharing it with all of you. "Frances was a very classy woman, no bigger than a minute." I had heard she struggled with Alzheimer's for years. May she rest in peace and we're sorry for your loss Matt.

Another Update On Gary Comegys

"Joe:

I was with a high level official from the SHA today and asked some questions. He gave me the following. An investigation was started after complaints were received on several fronts. It is ceratinly much deeper than being at home during working hours. Currently Mr. Drewer has not been removed but that is a real possibility. Mr. Comegy choose to file his papers for retirement the day after he was interviewed by the investigators. Gary's immediate supervisor has been terminated. The investigation is ongoing and will cause more to fall. "

IntoxicGate III

I know we've promised to bring you a breaking news story and we will. However, this situation is much more serious than we had originally thought so we'll give you a beginning breakdown and come back at a later point with more details.

I have been working on this all day and quite frankly I'm being told one story after another, none of which are making any sense. In order to be fair I am going to take additional time and give you the full story at a later point tonight or tomorrow morning.

Here's the deal. We had received a call that the City and County have been dumping sludge into a drain on Citation Drive out in the County. We are trying to determine more details but we have confirmed the Wicomico County Landfill lagoons are full and "Garbage Juice" runoff directly from Trash Mountain is being pumped into these trucks and dumped into these drains.

The main questions are, why, is this a storm drain, is this a sewer drain, how much is this affecting the WWTP? We do know this is unfiltered material and we'll come back later and break down the details.

They key is, Citizens have not been made aware that this is happening and when we broke a story last year in February about the Landfill, we weren't given the straight scoop about what was going on.

The Landfill lagoons are full to capacity and the County can't either afford to build another one and or they don't have the room to build another one. It's one of the two. Now, that being said, whenever there's excessive rainfall, the trucker bringing 6,000 gallons per truck load, six times a day, seven days a week cannot completely take all the runoff overloading the Landfill and dump it down that drain, therefore much of it has to be making its way to the River.

More to come............

IntoxicGate I
IntoxiGate II
Major Breaking Story

This Just In From Wicomico County.

The City and the County have had a long-standing agreement about the disposal of sludge cakes from the Sewage treatment Plant and leachate from the County Landfill.

CITY REMOVAL OF SLUDGE CAKES
The City trucks sludge cakes, which are solid, from the Treatment Plant to the Landfill. The cakes are put into the Landfill as solid waste. They are not removed. They are in the landfill with trash and other solid waste.

COUNTY REMOVAL OF LEACHATE
There are pipes under the landfill that collect water rundown. There is leachate in that water. Leachate is the material that drains off of the solid waste in the landfill as it is crushed.The water with leachate in it drains into two holding ponds. There is also storm water in the ponds. A county truck and driver pumps the liquid from the ponds as needed and transports it to a manhole near the airport. It is then dumped into the manhole and into the City sewage system. The site near the airport was chosen because it is the furthest point from the Treatment Plant. Dumping at this point provides maximum dilution.

It is not unusual for this operation to be done on a 7-days-a-week basis. The county driver is on-duty on weekends. No overtime is paid.

The County has been doing this for years.

The County and the City do not charge each other for the respective removal operations.

An official in County Public Works said that E.P.A. has been aware of this practice for "a long time" and that the County has a permit from MDE for this dumping.

This Just In - Major News Story Coming

Joe will be posting a major news story shortly. He is enroute from the scene at this time. A small hint. It has nothing to do with any of the candidates or the election. Standby.

Can the Barrie Comegys Ticket Deliver An Intelligent Response?

What kind of governance does Salisbury deserve? I would hope that it's citizens believe that it deserves a government run by people with the intelligence to address a panoply of problems.

Judging by the supporters of the Barrie Comegys ticket, they certainly can't deliver that. Case in point. We recently ran a post looking at the rhetoric vs. the reality of District 2 council candidate Muir Boda's campaign. What is the response from the unofficial blog of the Barrie Comegys ticket (where Muir Boda once proudly displayed his name)?

Having embarrassed GA once in public and outing him as an absolute liar today, he is now back stepping away from the statement that Muir Boda compared Debbie Campbell to Saddam Hussein. GA you are by far the most idiotic thing on the Eastern Shore. Honestly Joe is smarter than you because he acts like his education level of 6th grade, you on the other hand who want people to think your more than a porn obsessed Joe lover, went to college and are supposed to be intelligent so that doesn't say much for your college moron boy.. You act like people owe you an answer when you confront them and your a nothing . You are the biggest waste of time to reply to because you think your important and your an idiot. Spare us from your stupidity GA because I am gonna just keep embarrassing you. I appreciate all the mentions however you just keep driving my hits up. LOL
.

Civility? Knowledge? Leadership? HYPOCRISY!

I would just like to see a response rather than lies and name calling. Unfortunately, that appears too much to ask.

To add insult to injury, for the second time the Comegys-Boda-Shield attack blog has also published false information from public records, this time claiming that "my company" hadn't paid taxes. At least they were a little closer to reality this time. While it isn't "my company", I have done work for them in the past and will continue to do so.

As the clock ticks closer to Tuesday, we can expect to see more LIES, HATE, and FEAR from the Comegys - Boda - Shields camp.

WMDT Hosts Mayoral Debate To Air 10:00 TODAY

WMDT taped a Mayoral Debate yesterday to be aired this Sunday at 10:00 AM. Katherine Amenta will be your Host and once again WMDT has come through for the citizens of Salisbury bringing you a first class Debate.

Folks, I strongly urge you to watch this debate and judge for yourself who your best Candidate for Mayor is. Salisbury News would like to thank WMDT for bringing this fine public service to our community.

Dear Mom & Dad

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've written but things have been extremely busy here at SU. Studying late into the night and getting up so early in the morning has never been so difficult.

The new place is fantastic. It allows me more quiet time and oh, thank Grandma for me for the rocking chair! Some of the neighbors are really cool but can be loud at times. I guess you can't expect much less but this is a whole lot better than dorm living.

I joined the recycling club. You guys should really start recycling. You have no idea what aluminum brings in these days. We have Coke and Pepsi cans being collected by almost every student here and we donate it all to a local Church. We really need to do more for our environment.

Anyhow, it's time to get back to studying. Oh, you'll be really happy to see that I've actually gained a few pounds this semester.

Your Son,

Bluto

How Many People Are Boycotting The Shorebirds This Year

There's been a lot of talk about people not going to the Shorebirds Games this year because of the additional $3.00 impact fee for parking. This would be the perfect place to send your message to the Shorebirds to let them know that you either understand they have to charge something in order to pay for the new blacktop paving or you're simply not going to go to the games at all.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

This photo comes from an ad in the Metropolitan Magazine. Do you think it's a bit misleading, the river? Boy, it's no wonder Salisbury is winning the top 100 Cities in America. For a second there I thought they were in the Florida Keys!

Was Bubba Fired Or Forced Into Retirement?

I have spoken to three SHA Employees who have reported to us that Gary Comegys, (aka Bubba) was being followed for three weeks by a state ethics board and after their investigation he was given an ultimatum, retire or get fired.

It turns out Bubba was getting too much Press and the ethics board felt it necessary to follow old Bubba around and see for themselves just what the man was up to. We were also told auditors were in the facility investigating misappropriation of funds as it has been reported that contractors were being paid off before work was being completed. I'm sure there's more details to it but quite frankly it's my feeling that Gary Comegys had a cushy job and could have easily lasted another 20 years there if he so chose.

Now what makes things so suspicious about his quick retirement is just how fast things fell apart for him. I'll be the first to admit that I submitted photos to the authorities of numerous occasions in which his SHA vehicle was parked during business hours in suspicious places, recorded and documented and it happened frequently enough that the authorities felt it necessary to take the case to Annapolis where it would be heard by the proper authorities and not here locally.

We believe this is the exact pressure that brought in the auditor and ethics board locally to investigate Mr. Comegys and Drewer. We have been told that Mr. Drewer had been terminated but Mr. Comegys strongly suggested this wasn't true, yet my sources say it is true. Your guess is as good as mine on that one. Someone isn't telling the truth.

So why all of a sudden would a guy with a cushy job, (Comegys) just up and retire when he's got it made. I mean, does Gary Comegys actually believe he's going to win as Mayor with such confidence that he just decided he was going to call it quits BEFORE the election? Heck No, he's full of crap! ANYONE with a good head on their shoulders would say, IF I WIN this election, I'll retire from SHA.

This man is so full of BS it isn't funny! He's up against a candidate he just can't beat, hence all the trash mail against Ireton the last few days of the election process. So what happens if he doesn't win. Well, the Slumlords are in deep crap, aren't they. Code violations will be enforced and the Slumlords will actually have to clean up their act and spend millions of dollars making the properties legal. Comegys, (like Barrie Tilghman) would simply look the other way. Boards would be restructured where landlords/slumlords would be thrown off of housing boards and finally slumlords would be held accountable.

Comegys had no choice with the SHA, it was retire or be fired. Here's what I think is so funny about the whole thing. Everyone in the City loves Jim Ireton. He's that breath of fresh air everyone has been waiting for and once Comegys loses this election he'll be filling out applications for work and with his reputation for being a lazy sh!t, he'll be running the Flea Market taking over Michael Day's job of collecting CASH and we can only hope and pray all of it gets reported.

Oh, that's right, Ireton will be Mayor so Comegys can't even have that job. Rome is tumbling Folks and they're desperate. Mr. I don't know who sent out these letters Comegys is full of crap. He's another Ray Lewis of the SHA and if it wasn't for his 35 years with them the ending would have been much different.

Vote for Jim Ireton Folks and watch what happens. They'll be running for the hills so fast it isn't funny. Why do you think Barrie shoved that shredding documents down the Council's throat a few months ago. Get rid of that paper trail, JUST IN CASE!

You know what I love the most about all of this. I live in Delmar, DE. where life is so much better. We get to sit on the outside and look in and my God, if the Citizens of Salisbury actually vote for Comegys and want 4 more years of all the crap Barrie Tilghman delivered these past 12 years, well, you have to be the dumbest people I have ever seen in my entire life. It will prove once and for all that Donald Schaefer was exactly right about the Eastern Shore being an Outhouse.

The ONLY way I'll be convinced people actually have their heads on straight is if Ireton wins by a landslide. If he doesn't, well, I can only hope that people from other areas continue to move here and see the stupidity like I have seen for so many years and outsiders, (COME HERE'S) take over the Eastern Shore and get rid of the stupid people. Sorry Folks, you know me, I call it as I see it. Get out there and vote for once in your life and make a difference.

I'll close with this. Today we were reviewing the Alexa, (sp?) numbers, whatever you call it. It seems the Daily Times is about 1/2 of what Salisbury News is. To better understand what I'm trying to say, the lower your number the better you're doing. So The Daily Times is a little more than 50% better than Salisbury News. OK, here's the deal though. First of all, Salisbury News hasn't been around for 50 years, or however long the Daily Times has been around. Secondly, when you come to Salisbury News, we have TWO DAYS worth of Posts up one ONE PAGE.

Can you imagine if we only had ONE article up on each page and every time you wanted to read MORE you had to click on the title. Then the article was broken up into three pages. Our Page Views would be out of this world per day. You know how the Daily Times Website works. If you click on a title it's a second hit. Then you click on page 2, then page three and then if you click on a comment, guess what, it's another page view. Then when you're done with that article and go on to another one, oh yeah, it's another hit! So if you go to the Daily Times and click on multiple articles, you probably provide them with 10 to 50 hits per day. At Salisbury News you're one or two. So considering we're all on one page and out numbers are almost 50% of the Daily Times, we're kicking their A$$!

So Barrie = Gary, don't you ever think we don't have the kind of readership the Daily Times does because you'd be wrong. To all the nay sayers out there who want to challenge these facts, look it up yourself and you'll see that because of Barrie's fat trap, she's self promoted Salisbury News to actually become more read than the Daily Times and we have never advertised anywhere. Now open that bottle and have one on me because it's enough to make anyone drink!

Gary Comegys, YOU'VE BEEN BLOGGED!

HAPPY 50TH BARBIE:

Socialism - Good on Paper, Not in Reality

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had failed very few students www.ebaumsworld.com/jokes/read/80594237 but had, once, failed an entire class . That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "Ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism."

"All grades will be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade meaning, obviously, no one will receive an A." They all agreed to this. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a C. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too, so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great dismay the professor failed them all. Then he sent all of them this note: "A socialistic government will also ultimately fail - because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed."

New Preamble & Articles To The Constitution

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one is my pet peeve...get an education and go to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!) (AMEN, AGAIN)

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (lastly....)

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!! --- ("Do I hear an AMEN" )
