Dancing With The Delmarva Stars Part III

While the formal winners were Bernadette DiPino and Instructor Bill Goschen, there wasn't a single performance that didn't absolutely amaze each and every one of us. I'll give credit where credit is due, Police Chief DiPino clearly was having the time of her life. Her children and friends were in the audience giving praise and I'm sure they couldn't be more proud.

The outfits, stunning, each and every one of them. The Judges, (Chuck Sugent, Carol Wright & Amanda Showell) what a classy group of people! OK, now for the best part of all. This charity event was for the Wellness Center and to every one's amazement, this event alone brought in $49,000.00!

The Dancers & their Instructors were:

Adrienne Neleppa & Bob Klinger

Howard Crossan & Agnieszka Beletsky

Susan Pernell & Nick Pasch

April Brilliant & Bill Goschen

Davis Cowall & Pam Wood

Steve Grant & Pam Showell

Stacy Sakai & Dick White

Mary McCurdy & Nick Pasch

Chris Eccleston & Pam Webster

Dancing With The Delmarva Stars After Party

Skate Park Fundraiser A Huge Success

Talent, balance, skills, energy, practice, encouragement and a place to achieve such interests is what's been the driving force behind a place for all of our children to go and enjoy.

Rather than asking the taxpayers to front the money to achieve the goal of a new Skate Park, many adults and children have been getting together to fund raise to get what it takes to make this dream a reality.

Mayor Jim Ireton attended the event in what seemed like the busiest Saturday I have seen in years, filled with activities everywhere. To those of you who invited Salisbury News to your event, we're sorry we couldn't make them all. This one seemed to be one of the many we felt we wanted to be sure we participated with.

We have provided many photos over two posts I thought you might enjoy seeing. I'm not sure just how much they raised on Saturday but hopefully someone can chime in and let us know how well things went. I had to leave somewhat early because of all of the other events going on. One thing we know for sure though, they're much closer to reaching their goal with the turn out that they had.

Skateboard Park Fundraiser

They came both young and old to participate in raising money for a new Skate Board Park in Salisbury.

This time the participants were close to double what they had the last time they held this event with well more than 100+ skaters.

Even John Robinson joined in after opening his new Skate Board Shop in the Court Plaza and gave away free tee shirts for the first 50 participants.

John, they make helmets to save lives or at least to keep you from banging your head and becoming a Dee, Dee, Deeeee. That strap thing, it's supposed to be secured. We do need to set the example, for what it's worth.

School Bus 15 Kids Going To Hospital For Check

Fifteen children complained of back pain heading to School in Salisbury. The Bus was stopped on Rt. 50 in front of the Salisbury Police Department. All we have been told so far is that 15 children are going to the Hospital to be checked for back injuries. More to come.....

A Good Drug Problem To Have

Isn't this the truth! Why can't our countries leaders understand the simple solution to most of our societies problems?

The City/County Auction

Man, you talk about junk! Pete Richardson certainly had his hands full when it came to the City/County auction this past Saturday!

Municipalities don't unload items like they used to. In today's economy they use everything until there's next to nothing left use wise out of it. However, the Ford Ranger Pickup Truck the City had scheduled for this auction was pulled by Mayor Ireton because it only had 50,000 miles on it and it just made no sense to get rid of it. The County, on the other hand, had a Mazda P/U Truck there with 50,000 miles on it and I'm sure someone got a great buy out of that vehicle.

I stuck around because there were 6 very heavy duty park benches at the sale and I was determined to get them to place around our ponds here at the Albero Ranch. I was successful in my bid and came home with the prize.

As you can see from some of the pictures I've provided, I look at the station wagon and I think, yep, old Chiefy See made damn sure this vehicle didn't go to auction this time with all the equipment still on it. Good work Chiefy. Funny part is, every time I see that hunk of crap I can still see Larry Dodd behind the wheel.

I'm sure it was a LONG day for Pete Richardson and company as they had hundreds of bicycles to sell off, tires, rims, desks, chairs like I've never seen before. You know what they say, one man's junk is another mans treasure.

Reminder And Correction:

Somerset County Tax Hearing Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 7:00
Somerset County to increase property tax 7.6%

A Public Hearing will be held on proposed real property tax rate INCREASE of 7.6%
at County Offfice Complex
Room 111, 11916 Somerset Avenue
Princess Anne, MD 21853

Hearing is open to public and public testimony is encouraged.
Questions rergarding hearing (410) 651-0320

If the County were to offset increased assessments the real property rate would be reduced to $0.855, the constant yield rate.
The county proposes instead to maintain current tax rate of $0.920 per $100 of assessment. This 7.6% increase will result in $1,017,421
of new revenue. Certainly not fiscal responsibility. Attend and share your views.

Please refer to SBY News Friday, May 15, 2009 for complete article.

Elderly Floridian

An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: 'They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator! ' she cried.

The dispatcher said, 'Stay calm. An officer is on the way.'

A few minutes later, the officer radios in. 'Disregard,' he says.
'She got in the back-seat by mistake.'

When Satan Came To Church

A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation was sitting in the pews and talking.

Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.

Everyone started screaming and running for the back entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.

So Satan walked up to the man and said, "Do you know who I am?

The man replied, "Yep, sure do."

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.

"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.

Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?" asked Satan.

"Don't doubt it for a minute, " returned the old man, in an even tone..

"Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying agony for all eternity?" persisted Satan.

"Yep," was the calm reply.

"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.

"Nope," said the old man.

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked,

"Why aren't you afraid of me?"

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."

ESIS Annual Judged Show Huge Success

Debbie Campbell (Salisbury) and her mother, Ann Smith, with prize winning irises “Frosted Fantasy.”


Salisbury - The Eastern Shore Iris Society, an affiliate of the American Iris Society, hosted its annual judged show on Sunday, May 10th. Nearly 200 specimens were exhibited in 16 classes and two divisions. Cultivar “Frosted Fantasy” grown and exhibited by Debbie Campbell of Salisbury, garnered the title of Queen of the Show (Best in Show). Frosted Fantasy is a white tall bearded iris. Campbell says that her love for iris gardening came from her grandmother, Naomi Long, who was a longtime member of ESIS and brought Debbie along to club functions when she was small. Campbell says that throughout her lifetime, gardening has been a joy that she has shared with family and friends, especially when it comes to iris cultivation. Campbell is currently seeking youth interested in becoming junior AIS members who would like to grow iris and show blooms in future judged shows.

Among other top specimens receiving top runners-up honors were “Thornbird,” a space-age iris, also entered by Campbell; “Vanity,” a pink tall bearded iris entered by Janice Harrington of Laurel, DE; “Lighter Moment” a blue/ purple miniature tall bearded entered by Dee Hunter; and “Stellar Lights,” a deep blue tall bearded iris also entered by Janice Harrington. Campbell said that while it was an exciting honor that her gardening efforts had produced this year’s top iris, “the results of a good day’s work in the garden are a fine reward in itself, so everyone was a winner.“

The group is also well known by local garden enthusiasts for its annual rhizome sale, which will be held on July 25 this year at the Centre at Salisbury. “Mark your calendar for some of the best deals you’ll ever find on iris and varieties that equal or surpass most catalog offerings,” says Ann Dumler. For more information on the sale or membership in the American Iris Society contact Dumler at 410-742-5410.
