Ladies & Gentlemen, Sheriff Mike Lewis

Allow me to be the very first to introduce the first photo of Mr. Mike Lewis in a Sheriff's Uniform. Mike lead the Christmas Parade waving to "everyone" and wishing them a Very Merry Christmas.

Before & After

For those critics who claimed this place was never going to amount to anything and or ever get open, Kiss My Grits!

Station 7 is scheduled to open its doors not this Monday but the following Monday. Wait till you see the decorations going up! This place will be out of this world! They did a sample cooking Saturday of their BBQ Ribs in their new smoker and I was told by friends it was the finest food they had ever eaten!

Another Illegal Deer Stand On My Property

Yesterday we took yet another stroll around our property in Willards and out of nowhere came yet another illegal deer stand directly on our property. This time they were a little more slick about it as they placed it deeper into the brush where a vehicle couldn't pull right in. However, they're close enough to my Pond to make sure they catch anything trying to take a drink of water. I think I'll take my shotgun to this one and just leave it there in bits and pieces.

Calling All Health Department Inspectors!

There's a good reason why so many other cities across America have the windows painted in a vacant building. However, in Salisbury they don't feel the need to cover-up what will soon become VERY obvious to everyone reading this Post. As we start to look deeper towards the back walls of the store it becomes very evident wherever they were prepping your food, there was BLACK MOLD EVERYWHERE!

It would run down the walls where all the meats were. Let me ask you Folks, do you think they'll REPORT this mold to the next tennants? By law they have to. By law they have to hire a specialty company to come in and remove this mold. Then there's the thought of the people who were working there at Giant and were they becoming ill because of all the mold in the store?

What I want to firmly know is, where the hell were the Health Department Inspectors? This is unacceptable and even more so, unbelievable!

Westside Park Beautification

Saturday, December 2nd, at Waterside Park, marked the completion of the first efforts of Salisbury's Neighborhood Beautification Team, a volunteer group assembled by the Department of Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance under the leadership of Housing Supervisor Susan Phillips. The event was an obvious success, as more than a dozen volunteers, including DNSCC Director, Tom Stevenson, for once not wearing a suit and tie, cleaned up trash, mowed the grass, trimmed trees, planted flowers and shrubs, and painted playground equipment. Lunch was provided courtesy of Cato Oil, whose main office is just across the street from the park.

Waterside Park, located at Parsons Road, is a city park that has, for some time, been a prime location of drug deals and other less than savory activities. The work completed on Saturday by members of the Beautification Team is part of a developing plan to improve the appearance and function to public areas in Salisbury. Statistics show that areas that are well-maintained and kept attractive to families and other members of the public have a positive impact on controlling negative behaviors, such as drug transactions and gang activities. The efforts of the Team and groups like it are positive moves toward taking back our parks and recreation areas from those who would keep them as locations for illegal activities. Hats off to those who made Saturday's efforts a success! And kudos to Cato Oil for the donation of a tasty Popeye's chicken lunch!For more information on the Neighborhood Beautification Team, and how to volunteer for upcoming events, contact Susan Phillips at sphillips@ci.salisbury.md.us, or call (410) 341-9550.

If This Doesn't Crack You Up, Pull The Trigger Because You Should Be Dead Anyway.

A friend passed this on to me this morning and I just had to share it with everyone. Have a great weekend everyone! If you need a good laugh, click here.

Sheriff Vehicles Are All Over The City Of Salisbury Recently?

There have been more Sheriff vehicles than you see City Police vehicles within the City Limits lately.

She's A Leaner

The City of Salisbury wouldn't allow uplighting on the building so the property owner simply made an adjustment to this fixture and fixed the entire problem. It's one way to beat the Code.

Salisbury Meter Installers

I couldn't find the Installer with the white truck some of you had mentioned buut I did find this one with a blue truck.

I could barely hear the man yelling into the hole but I'm pretty sure he was saying, Barrie, Barrie, come out, come out, wherever you are.

Illegal Downtown Parking

If you've ever received a ticket in Downtown Salisbury you can certainly appreciate these photos and the fact that none of these vehicles has tickets on their windshields.

Don't believe for a minute that these vehicles were there for just a few seconds too. I was in and out of the Downtown area for quite some time today and yesterday and they sat there for quite some time.

I'm all for loading and unloading, (PEOPLE) but to take up entire sidewalks when you're not moving in and out is just ridiculous. You're doing a great job there Chief Webster.

What A Difference 24 Hours Makes!

They may be different Stations but they're prices were exactly the same 24 hours ago. The price of gas is out of control and as American's we're just putting up with it. Any other line of business would be shut down for such price fixing immediately but not the gasoline industry.

Imagine going to McDonalds and buying a burger one day for a buck and the next it's a buck and a quarter. What do Taxi Cab Companies do, raise their rates by the hour? The when the gas drops in price, do they give it back by lowering their rates?

Far too many prices on so many things we deal with daily reflect on gas prices and there's just no doubt we're paying higher prices normally based on these companies figuring they'd have to have a cushion in case the rates jump quickly. Scroll down to yesterday's post where gas was only $2.03 a gallon.

An Addition To Tim Chaney's Letter

What you haven't been told about some of the other illegal activities from the Salisbury WWTP was the fact that the WWTP was illegally dumping more than a million gallons of water a day from the Plant directly into the Wicomico River.

The first photo shows a unique man made stream coming from a hole in the ground, (I called it the Bat Cave). The second photo is of the stream coming from the beginning of that stream and the third pictures is as it flows its way towards the river.

Tim, I have hundreds of pictures proving this to be a fact and if there's anything I can do to help you, don't hesitate to ask.

A Lesson On How To Install Christmas Lights In Just 20 Minutes

The first step is to go out and purchase a Fork Lift. No ladders required. No moving the STUPID thing every 3 feet, up and down, up and down! With a Fork Lift you stay up and simply drive it around from spot to spot installing the hooks and lights. By the time you're done with the ladder you're using every curse word known to man and then Christmas Sucks! (LOL)

A Fork Lift can help you while smoking that cigar and installing the lights all in one shot! I recommend this to all men who are subjected to this torture each and every year and you'll have the entire job done in 20 minutes.

Merry Christmas!

Salisbury News Produces Serious Numbers

What a month November was for hits! With more than 100,678 pages viewed on the Blog, why doesn't The Daily Times not take me more seriously?

These figures should also wake Barrie Tilghman up to reality and hopefully come to understand that we're not playing games here. Wait till I start advertising the Blog Site in The Guide and other news sources!

Thanks for the support Folks!!!!!

Could Barrie & Co. Be Next?

Other News Sources have revealed criminal activity from Appalachia, VA. Mayor Ben Cooper. Check out this story. Maybe there's some light at the end of the tunnel after all?

OMG, We're In Barrie's No Fly Zone Air Space, Turn Around NOW!

The word is out, DON'T fly over the WWTP or they'll shoot you down! Surface to arm pit missels were armed and ready to go but Lynn Cathcart got on the radio and said, YOU GET AWAY FROM THERE RIGHT NOW! DO YOU HEAR ME SIR, GET AWAY FROM THERE RIGHT NOW!

Do As I Say, Not As I Do!

Mike Dunn has clearly broken his own rules BUT he doesn't care. He took the time to BASH Debbie Campbell for requesting someone from the audience come forward and speak and even went so far as to creating and passing a resolution against ever doing so again. THEN last Monday he did exactly what they voted against Debbie Campbell on and called someone from the audience, view it here. You now have the resolution as well as the video, PROVING Mike Dunn is a cheat, a liar and has discriminated against Debbie Campbell. I don't think it gets any better than this Folks.

Tim Chaney Is On A Roll!!!!!

Mr. Gilcrest,
I received your reply about my concerns with the health of the Wicomico River, the fine levied by the MDE and the lack of action. As you well know, Maryland has new governor. Am I going to have to go down the same exact road when new appointments are made, that I have already taken up to four months now to get action, only in the form of dodging the issue.

I know you are required to respond to my concerns, even if it just a meaningless form letter, but truly feel your last letter was nothing more than patronizing, and to be honest has the hair on my back raised.

Mr Gilcrest, I am a democrat that has crossed party lines twice to vote for you. That will never happen again, and you have a lot of nerve to even associate your name with environmental matters.

I will make one more effort to speak with your liaison here in Salisbury. Our Maryland Department of the Environment is in the lame duck mode, we need some federal action. Show me how much faith you have in the city and state in regard to these matters, by coming to Salisbury, and take a swim in our river.

Sincerely,

Tim Chaney

Sorry about the form letter but they get automatically generated when something changes in a case, or when anything goes out from this office.

However I should tell you that we did talk to the Salisbury PW director, we did meet with the Mayor about this issue (not a cordial meeting), and Wayne did commit to personally touring the site in the near future. We have not received an official response from EPA yet, but we do know they have contacted MDE and MDE is looking at additional sanctions.

You are correct, though, that things will likely change for the better in the enforcement division of MDE,. and we have already brought this issue - along with some similar problems in the region - to the personal attention of folks on the Governor-elect's transition team and to the person we hope will be leading MDE.

I know you are not satisfied with the pace, and nor are we. But we will continue to plug away at this despite the fact that we have very little to no direct legal jurisdiction on this situation.

Tony
