Horrible Accident Accident This Morning In Fruitland
An elderly woman in her late 70's was walking into the Fruitland Post Office when another elderly man in his late 70's was pulling up to the front of the Post Office in his pickup truck. Out of nowhere the truck lunged forward pinning the elderly woman up against the wall, crushing her pelvis and one of her legs. There were no internal injuries.
The Fruitland Police are not sure if this was a mechanical error or driver error but I'm told the victim is in critical condition and in surgery as we speak. The Fire Department, (directly across the street) happened to be holding a function today so they had plenty of people on hand to quickly assist and rush her to the Hospital.
We'll see if the FPD can update us on her condition.

Kratovil voted against it and then voted for it. The Daily Times was so proud of him for being independent but clearly this is not the case. Is he independent, or mixed up? Obviously Pelosi has a strong hold on him. Money speaks louder than constituents!
The Daily Times Gets Hate Calls
"To Our Customers
Thursday’s The Daily Times
inadvertently listed the Sunday
single-copy price of $1.25,
instead of the correct weekday
price of 75 cents. The weekday
single-copy price will remain
75 cents. The Daily Times
regrets the confusion this error
may have caused its
customers."

price of 75 cents. The weekday

customers."
Today's front page of the Daily Times has this little blurb apologizing for an alleged error charging Customers 50 cents more than the regular daily price. While I haven't been able to locate anything else in reference to this statement, what about all those Customers that paid the extra money for the paper? Will they be given a refund?
I asked this question to someone who works at the Daily Times and they said, "They can come to the Office and we'll refund their money." Well, not for nothing, but, it will cost more than 50 cents to drive there and back. I then said, you know darned well that WaWa and many other locations never give you a receipt for what you've purchased, so how will they get refunded? They replied, they just need to come to the Office.
Honest mistake or not, the Daily Times fee practices, (according to many who have commented here before) allegedly aren't that great. I was also told their phone was ringing off the hook all day with hate calls. That doesn't surprise me one bit. All I can tell you is, they have laid off so many people and overwhelmed their current Staff that mistakes like this are bound to happen and continue.
What do YOU think happened?
Do you think they were trying to raise their price and when they got slammed with calls they backed down?
Do you think someone made this error by accident, yet it has never happened before in the past?
Do you think they were doing it to get some free Press?
Two final questions.
Was this the final straw that broke the Camel's back and you cancelled your subscription or stopped purchasing the paper because of this mistake?
Finally, did YOU get a REFUND?
HISTORICAL MOMENTS BY GEORGE CHEVALLIER

Friday, 2/13. Today is . . .
Blame Someone Else Day
On the first Friday the 13th of every year (since 1982), "Blame Someone Else Day" is celebrated.
Anne Moeller of Clio, Michigan created this day back in 1982. Anne's alarm clock did not ring that fatefull morning, which resulted in a chain of lateness and chaos rittled with excuses all day. She spent the day blaming everything from her alarm clock to flat tires to traffic jams to excuse her tardiness to all of her appointments.
So, join in on the fun today. Who do you want to point the finger to? Any WHY?
Do You Remember?
Remember the big media flap about Sarah Palin's dress?
Americans! Where are you? Are you awake?
We haven't heard any comments from media on "Queen Madam" Pelosi's snit about having to ride home in the small private, economy jet that comes with the Speaker's job. Remember how Madame Pelosi was so aggravated that this little jet had to refuel while transporting her to California everyweek? Remember that she insisted on a luxurious 200 seat jet to fly her to California nonstop, instead?

Hello Folks! Are you awake?
Washington legislators who observed the Madam's Big Fat jet grinned with glee as Joe The Plumber informed all of us that Na ncy's luxury Jet will require hard working American taxpayers, to buy thousands of gallons of expensive jet fuel every week. She only works 3 days a weekbut her gas guzzler luxury jet flights home, to California, costs to taxpayers $60,000 one way! As Joe noted, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday night,' so there goes another $60,000. (and everyone though CEO pampering was unreal)!!
Folks, that is $480,000 per month or an annual cost to taxpayers of $5,760,000. And she complains about the cost of the war?!? She "could" take the smaller jet which she says would cramp her style -- but since her flying in style takes precedence over war costs -- what do you say?
Military families in this country do without while this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of our country, spends lavishly to fly herself and associates to and from California every week. Does that burn you, too?
Madame Pelosi expects you and I to conserv e our carbon footprint by driving smaller cars and buying a bicycle pump to over-inflate our tires for better economy while she and her hypocrite cohorts waste tax payer dollars. Ticks you off, too?
Please keep this circulating and let's join Joe bringing their "pork barrell" spending toAmerican's attention to make a difference in how Congress spends our hard earned money through their "personal waste" and "ear marks".

Influenza Breakout?
"Joe,
My wife had heard that there has been an outbreak of influenza in the Maryland, Delaware area. It was said that the area hospitals are packed with kids who have it and they are now sending kids to Baltimore because the hospital rooms are filled. Have you heard anything about this?"
While it's difficult to get answers to a question like this, perhaps our readers can let us know if they have heard anything about it.

IT’S NOW OFFICIAL: THE BODA-COMEGYS-SHIELDS TICKET
The candidate forum on February 12 that was sponsored by the local NAACP organization was time well spent. Orville Penn asked significant (and some tough) questions and promoted interchange, especially among mayoral candidates Comegys and Ireton. There were two highlights of the forum, which was held at the First Baptist Church.
The first occurred when another mayoral candidate, Bob Caldwell, arrived late because he had been delayed by a minor car accident while on his way to the forum. It seems that Superman can be slowed but not stopped.
The second happened later, when Mr. Penn asked the candidates for City Council who they preferred to become the next mayor. Both Shanie Shields (Dist. 1) and Muir Boda (Dist. 2) responded that they were supporting Gary Comegys. Tim Chaney (Dist. 1) said that he supports Jim Ireton. Cynthia Polk (Dist. 1) and Debbie Campbell (Dist. 2) indicated that they were not supporting any mayoral candidate.
So, anyone who feels that the Council majority has served well can vote for Mr. Comegys as mayor and also for the same type of Council majority to do his bidding like the current majority (Comegys, Shields and Smith) have done for Barrie Tilghman. As reported here on Salisbury News several days ago, the Boda-Comegys-Shields ticket is being promoted by one of Salisbury’s more notorious landlords (Richard Insley).
The surprise of the forum was Cynthia Polk – an attractive and articulate lady who seems to have a good grasp of things. With both her and Tim Chaney as opponents, Shanie Shields may be in for disappointment at the primary election on March 3rd.
And, facing both Jim Ireton and Bob Caldwell, the road could be rough for Gary Comegys, despite Richard Insley’s seal of approval letter to his tenants, even if Mr. Comegys survives the primary.
Kudos to the NAACP for sponsoring the event and also to the First Baptist Church, a very impressive venue, for hosting it.

RICHARD INSLEY HAS ANOTHER YEAR LEFT ON SALISBURY'S HOUSING BOARD
That's good news or bad news depending on how you look at it. He was
reappointed to that Board by the City Council, pursuant to nomination by Barrie
Tilghman, on September 25, 2006 -- the vote was 4 (Dunn, Comegys, Cathcart &
Shields) to 1 (Campbell). Here's the minute from that meeting:
Mrs. Cathcart moved and Mrs. Shields seconded to approve the Consent Agenda.
City Clerk Brenda Colegrove presented the following items:
1. Resolution No. 1441 - reappointments of Christopher Nunzio and John Presburg
to the Traffic and Safety Advisory Committee for a term ending July 2008.
2. Resolution No. 1442 - reappointment of Richard Insley to the Housing Board
of Adjustments and Appeals for a term ending April 2010.
3. Resolution No. 1443 - reappointments of William Ahtes and Carol Wright to
the Central City District Commission for a term ending September 2008.
Following a discussion concerning Mr. Insley’s reappointment to the Housing
Board of Adjustments and Appeals, Mrs. Campbell moved to postpone Resolution
No. 1442 for discussion at a work session. The motion died for lack of a
second. The Consent Agenda passed on a 4-1 vote with Mrs. Campbell voting nay.
If Comegys becomes our next mayor, Insley's reappointment for another term on
the Board is guaranteed.
Local Artist Stops By The Humane Society
"Hi Joe,
Our day got off to an incredible start...these photos are of a 125 pound carving of a dog that a man named Tommy Wynn. In the photos, he is on the right. The man and woman on the left are Mr. & Mrs. John Riggin and their dog, Cypress, who was adopted from us.
The carving was donated by Mr. & Mrs. Riggin and Mr. Wynn. The wood is walnut and as you can see, it is beautiful. Mr. Wynn is going to have a base carved for us in about 3 weeks but in the meantime, it is on a table in our lobby for all to see and admire when they come through our doors. Not a bad way to start the day, huh? If you could, would you mind posting one of the photos for us? Thanks.
Linda"
So you're telling me animals are flying through the Humane Society so fast, Tommy is now carving them to keep up with demand? Linda, I know Tommy well, he's a wonderful man with a passion for his art like I've never seen before. His talent is second to none and we have done three pieces on his work before this. You're in good company when you're with Tommy Wynn. NOW GET OUT THERE AND GET SOME MORE ANIMALS. LOL
Baltimore Sun Closing 3 Locations
BALTIMORE - A union leader says The Baltimore Sun will move its suburban bureau employees to its downtown Baltimore office and also plans to reduce its staff again.
Brent Jones, a Sun reporter and a unit chairman with the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, says Sun Editor J. Montgomery Cook announced the moves Thursday afternoon at a staff meeting.
Cook and a Sun spokeswoman did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
Jones says about 15 suburban reporters and editors will move downtown. He says the newspaper is ending lease agreements for its office space in Anne Arundel, Howard and Baltimore counties.
It's not clear how many people will lose their jobs in the next round of staff reductions.
The Sun is owned by Chicago-based Tribune Co., which filed for bankruptcy in December.
