Could it be ALL of the Fat Man's Contacts? Why, yes it is! Interesting how Wayne Barrall is a part of the list. Through my contacts we have names to every one of these individuals too. Michael, Michael, Michael, I sure do hope I get to see you face to face tomorrow. I've got quite a few choice words for you.

So just when the Fat Man thought he could convince everyone that his blog had a decent volume of people visiting daily, the truth comes out. Next week we'll start exposing the names of these individuals, many from the Salisbury Fire Department. Good old Charles Jannace, aka Hadley. That scumbag just never goes away. You can click on any one of these names above and their e-mail address will pop up.


The walls keep crumbling down Ladies & Gentlemen. If you're on the list above, well, you know what's coming! I wonder who each one of these people work for. Find out next week.
Hey Fat Man, You Can Hide But You Cannot Run! ROTFLMAO!

Could This Be The Future For The Fat Man?


INDIANAPOLIS — A 750-pound woman who died in her bed was covered with a carpet and pulled out of her apartment on the mattress in view of neighbors, then hoisted onto a flatbed wrecker to be taken to the county morgue. Marion County Coroner Frank Lloyd Jr. says he's investigating why a contractor with equipment capable of handling obese corpses was not used, and he has apologized to the family.


"It could have been handled in a better fashion, there's no question about that," he said Thursday.


Teresa Smith, 48, died Tuesday at her apartment, where she had been confined to bed because of her weight.


Lloyd said it wasn't clear why coroner's officials contacted a wrecker company to transport the corpse instead of using the regular body removal contractors who were at the scene. He said that the regular contractor is equipped to handle large corpses, and he was looking into why a different contractor hired more rarely was used.


"You know how you hoist a car on a flatbed with a chain? That's how they took her up there," Smith's boyfriend, David Johnson, told The Indianapolis Star.
Lloyd said that the carpet was the only suitable covering available but acknowledged it was not the best way to handle the situation given that Smith's body was visible to some apartment dwellers in a small courtyard between buildings.


"We cannot control what neighbors do on balconies," he said, adding that privacy was a key concern.


He said his office was considering purchasing a special cart for obese corpses.

FIRE MARSHALS AND TROOPERS INVESTIGATE DEATH AND FIRE IN CARROLL COUNTY


(Hampstead, MD) – Deputy state fire marshals and state troopers are investigating the death of a man whose body was found inside a burning truck on a Carroll County church parking lot early this morning.

The victim is described as a white male, possibly 35-45 years of age. The name of the individual is not being released at this time. Although a possible identity is known, a positive identification of the body has not been made.

At about 4:15 a.m. today, a 9-1-1 call was received from a near-by resident who reported a fire on the parking lot of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, in the 1600-block of Cape Horn Road, Hampstead, Md. Units from the Hampstead Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and extinguished the blaze that had engulfed a 2006 diesel Ford utility pickup truck with a crew cab. Fire personnel found the victim deceased in the back seat of the truck and notified law enforcement authorities.

Deputies and a K-9 team from the Office of the State Fire Marshal and troopers from the Westminster Barracks responded to the scene. Investigators from the Westminster Barracks Criminal Investigation Section, the State Police Homicide Unit, and crime scene technicians from the State Police Forensic Sciences Division also responded to assist with the investigation.

The victim’s cause of death is not known at this time. His body was taken to the Office of the State Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy. There were no immediately obvious signs of trauma on the body, other than what are consistent with burn injuries.

The truck was destroyed in the fire. A cause of the fire has not been determined at this time and remains under investigation by the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

The truck was owned by Sunrise Safety Services of Glen Burnie, Md. The company is one of the contractors working on the Hampstead Bypass.

Anyone with information about this incident, or who may have been driving on Cape Horn Road between the hours of 9:30 p.m. yesterday and 4:15 a.m. today, is urged to contact Maryland State Police at the Westminster Barracks. Investigators can be reached at 410-386-3000.

CPR IN SALISBURY

"Mr. Albero,

I wanted to clear things up a little. I misspoke when I stated that CPR classes were free in Salisbury. What I intended to say was that during EMS week there are a couple of free classes provided, and perhaps for the future we could consider offering the free classes more often for the public. Currently classes are charged, and again the only free classes are during EMS week. I am sorry for the confusion, and hope this clears it up.

Thank you,

Chris Truitt"

Chris, thank you for the follow up. Have a safe weekend.

Mayor Remedies Council Health Insurance Issue

Salisbury Mayor James Ireton, Jr., is pleased to announce that he has resolved the issue of health insurance for City Council members, which has recently been a subject of disagreement. Mayor Ireton has directed that the cost of health insurance for City Council members be added to the amended budget ordinance that is to be considered by the Council at their May 26, 2009 meeting. The Mayor stated that he has researched this issue and concluded that the exclusion of this cost from the proposed budget was an error on the part of the mayor’s office. “My research shows that there has to be a separate vote by resolution to change the health care policy and contract,” said Mayor Ireton. “The mayor’s office cannot cut this funding without that vote.”

Mayor Ireton continued, “The Council can no more refuse this correction than reject other budget corrections, such as the additional cable revenues and additional payment to PAC14, or apply $27,000 additional in Highway User Funds to something other than streets. As with these examples, there does not need to be a separate budget amendment for the health insurance. Corrections to the budget have been made before by the mayor’s office during the budget process. The mayor’s office must correct this error as well.”

“I know Council President Smith supported this funding reinstatement at Tuesday night’s budget session and would want the Council to be in compliance just as much as I want the mayor’s office to be in compliance,” said the Mayor. “If the Council wishes to change the health insurance coverage policy by a resolution to be sent to my desk, then that is within their domain.”

Wicomico BOE Swaps Dollars Rather Tighten Belt

Yesterday, in what was probably the most important work session of Wicomico County Council's FY 2010 budget deliberations, the Wicomico County Board of Education (WCBOE) showed even more disdain for Maryland and Wicomico taxpayers. To meet a $2 million shortfall the WCBOE proposed a multi-million dollar bait and switch that would land Supt. John Fredericksen and his crew in prison if we were talking about a private company rather than a government bureaucracy.

Here are the basics of the "grand scheme":

  • Last year, Wicomico County funded the WCBOE with $700,000 ABOVE the state mandated maintenance of effort (MOE). The WCBOE proposes to transfer that money BACK to Wicomico County and then have the county transfer the funds back to WCBOE.
  • A few years ago the county passed legislation enabling the WCBOE to establish a "School Construction Savings Plan" (SCSP). Any surplus left at the WCBOE is supposed to go into the SCSP. The WCBOE proposes that $1.3 million be taken from this fund, transfered BACK to the county, and then transferred back to the WCBOE.
Only in government would such a scheme be considered "savings".
