Nightly News At 6 PM
Jennifer sent you a message.
Jennifer Wechsler Foxwell March 29, 2010 at 4:25pm
(no subject)
"fyi,,,you fat ugly slob,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you go ahead and keep up the bullshit,,,,,,does it make you feel better to bash my family,,,,,,,,,,oh big man with the big balls,,,,,,,,you sure would never do in my face,,,,,,thats ok dude,,,,ive got dirt on ur family aswell,,,,,,,,,ive have kept my mouth shut,,,out of respect for the two young girls that live with your father,,,,,,,,,still a mystery as to who's children they are anyway,,but needless to say,,,,i do know for a fact that your own father at one time was accused of sexually molesting those two girls and all there friend's that he druged and brought to his home,,,im sure you nor your father want that made public,,,,,,,,so like i said dude,,,,,,,keep it up...."
Watch the video Folks. Jennifer clearly follows Salisbury News and this evening sent the above message to me.
In order to detail things a bit more, allow me to explain a little more than the above Broadcast offers.
My Father adopted two girls when they were infants. His Wife's Son committed suicide and left the two children to be raised in Foster Care. My Father, NOT the biological parent or grandparent adopted them anyway, pulled them from foster care and has raised them ever since they were infants. His Wife died of cancer a few years ago and he has raised these kids on his own. What's the matter Jennifer, can't stand a responsible parent doing something you clearly are NOT capable of doing?
So now you want to defame my Father, claim he's drugging kids and molesting them, I think NOT. Jennifer Foxwell knew from the earlier Post today that I was going to finally expose what her and her nut case Mother have been lying about, so she's out to destroy others by falsely accusing other people in hopes the attention will be on someone other than herself.
Jennifer, let me tell you something everyone else seems to be afraid to say to you. IF you were any kind of decent Mother, your Daughter would still be alive today, God rest her soul. You can bash me, defame me and go on the attack all you want. However, you just remember what the Albero Family has done for you over the years and stop forgetting where you came from.
I have forwarded your message to Sheriff Lewis and Davis Ruark as it is very clear you have made statements to defame others without any evidence or proof. You have claimed someone has "druged" young women. Jennifer, you're a very mentally sick woman who has played the pity card for far too long. The day you'll threaten me and my Family with blackmail in the hopes of scaring us into being quiet is the day we'll admit to being who you say we are.
Because we're nothing like you claim we are to others, I have no problem exposing you, your letters, your messages, like calling me the same monster as Thomas Leggs. Thomas Leggs is an alleged murderer. I'll certainly remember our experience with you the next time someone like you is in need of help in the future. What a shame it is that someone like you would spoil it for everyone else. Oh, that's right, all you care about is yourself, I forgot.
Folks, Jennifer Foxwell and her Mother are mental cases. Watch the video and see all my Father did for Jennifer and her 7 children with 5 different Fathers. I heard he spent $12,000.00 in helping you out Jennifer and look how you repay him, with threats and lies. You were on the streets with 7 kids when he came in and saved you. You need some serious help woman.
Man Arrested For Eric Cantor Death Threat
Federal authorities have arrested a Philadelphia man and charged him with threatening to kill House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and his family.
Norman Leboon will be charged with two federal counts: threatening to kill a member of Congress and interfering with his federal duties, and posting video online containing such threats. He is scheduled to appear in federal district court in Philadelphia on Monday afternoon.
The arrest is the most serious in a string of threats of violence against lawmakers in wake of the divisive health care vote. At least 10 Democrats along with a handful of Republicans, including Cantor, reported threats of violence during the past week.
“At this time, the congressman will have no further comment on this threat or the investigation, and asks that inquiries be directed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring said. “The congressman is deeply grateful for, and would like to dearly thank all local and federal law enforcement involved, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Attorney’s Office[s] in Virginia and Philadelphia, U.S. Capitol Police and the Henrico Police Department in Virginia.”

Mike Lewis and LEOPSMike Lewis and LEOPS
Sadly, the article seems to place undue focus on Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt’s supposed efforts to accomplish this than the work of Lewis and his deputies to get this accomplished. Sheriff Lewis has been lobbying for this measure for years. Pollitt has bemoaned the constraints of the revenue cap.
It was worthy of Pollitt’s time to attempt stealing farmers’ property rights. He’s spent plenty of time over the last 3 1/2 years telling us that we need to repeal the evil revenue cap.
Perhaps this issue can be properly disposed of before the end of Pollitt’s second term?
Time To Put Politics Aside
After I had received word Gary Comegys had cancer, it truly about knocked me down to my knees. After recently losing my Mother to bone cancer, I know the road ahead for Gary and his Family will not be an easy one.
However, Gary is much younger and has plenty of fight in him to beat this evil disease. That being said, I want to personally extend my thoughts, prayers and or services to the Comegys as this is the time to put everything aside and support a fellow American, a Firefighter, a Council Member and most of all a Husband and Father.
No, there are not just words from Joe Albero. I mean every single word published here and I never go against my word. In the same spirit of support for Brooke Mulford, we must all extend the same for Mr. Comegys.
House GOP Often Has An Ally In Eastern Shore's Kratovil
If it weren't obvious already, Rep. Frank M. Kratovil Jr.'s final vote against health-care legislation last week made clear that the freshman Maryland Democrat is more than willing to go against his party. He has sided with Republicans nearly 200 times since President Obama's approval ratings started to dip last summer, more than almost any other Democrat.
Kratovil's stances appear to be part conviction and part calculation, a bet that the only way he can represent and carry his right-leaning Eastern Shore district is to prove that he is an independent voice willing to oppose Obama and congressional Democrats when necessary.
Thirty-three other Democrats, in other districts with other dynamics, made the same gamble last week. Brushing aside a call to history by Obama, they opposed the party's latest attempt to expand health-care coverage, a cause the party has pursued for decades. Their votes have unleashed a rash of action and analysis, with some no-voting Democrats immediately drawing primary challengers and others struggling to explain themselves.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE
Gary Comegys, Vice President of the Salisbury City Council, announced today that he has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a type of cancer formed by cancerous plasma cells.
Comegys was diagnosed late last week, after tests revealed a cancerous tumor in his lower back. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Peninsula Regional Medical Center. In the weeks ahead, he will receive additional treatment at the University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore.
Comegys is planning to continue his duties on the Salisbury City Council and is prepared and ready for the fight ahead. “Clearly this has come as a shock to me and my wife Debbie,” Comegys said. “We are receiving exceptional care at PRMC and we have complete confidence in our doctors. We are grateful for the support we’re receiving from our family and friends and we remain hopeful that my treatment will go fine.”
Council President Louise Smith has been in contact with Comegys and his family and is optimistic about the road ahead. “Gary is a fighter. We all know that,” she said. “This is a time to rally around Gary. Let us keep Gary and his wife, Debbie, in our thoughts and prayers. I look forward to Gary continuing his work for the people of Salisbury

Little League...It's For the Children
It's spring and the baseball season is upon us. If your kids are anything like mine then they are salivating at the mention of baseball. That is, if you can afford the costs involved to allow your kids to participate. A registration fee of $75.00 per child comes first. What they do with this money, I'm not certain. The shirts and hats are provided by the league and you can have their name put on both for an additional fee. Now you have to buy them pants, the league used to provide these and stirrups, not anymore. Stirrups $5-$7 a pair. Pants $15-$25 a pair. Belt $5-$10. Then there are the shoes. A cheap pair of Nikes will cost you $25 if, you purchase them online at www.store.nike.com. I prefer to buy locally, it's doubtful Vernon Powell or anywhere else will have them at this price. I was told by a parent in Delmar that they had to purchase a batting helmet. Well there goes another $60, easily. Then there is the bat. I have paid anywhere from $30 to $125 for baseball bats, what was I thinking? My kids could hit just as well with a bat provided by the league as they could with one of those expensive bats. So, the average cost for a child to play baseball is now anywhere from $113 to $130 and that doesn't include shoes, glove, or bat.
Those sign boards advertising local businesses used to pay a fee of $250 annually, I can't imagine what they are paying now with all of these fees going up. Let's just say there are 10 signs on the fields, that's $2,500 add that to the money raised in the concession stand, the 50/50 raffles, the picture fundraiser and other fundraisers held throughout the year. I think it safe to say Little League is bringing in $10,000 a year, conservatively. So what are they doing with this money? Coaches, concession stand staff, grounds keepers are all volunteers, the board of directors are volunteers. There is no paid staff, on the local level so where is the money going? Why can't the league continue to furnish uniforms for the teams? Equipment is paid for by the league, bats, baseballs, bases, batting helmets, catchers gear. Does this cost $10,000 annually to maintain? How much lime can be used on a baseball field?
What happens to the kid that has natural ability in the sport yet his parents can't afford to pay the fees? What about the families that have 2 or 3 baseball aged children that can't afford the fees? Listed under Little League rules and regulations,
Regulation 13 - Commercialization
A participation fee may be assessed by a local league, but at no time should payment of a fee be a pre-requisite for participation in the Little League program. How many parents/families know of this rule? I have never heard anyone, during registration, say to a family that it was OK, the kids could play even if they can't afford to pay. Have any of you?
Makes me wonder why those highly paid professional baseball players are not chipping in, on a local level, and helping the kids that can't afford to play the sport they love? Lets look at some of the Baltimore Orioles salaries. They don't have the salaries of the New York Yankees but hey, who does? Kevin Millwood will be paid $15,000,000 this year, just to play baseball. He had a 5 year $60 million dollar contract with the Orioles. How much of that has he given to local Little League teams? Brian Roberts, $40 million over 4 years, Nick Markakis, $66.1 over 6 years, Mike Gonzalez, $12 million for 2 years, you get the picture. A lot of money is thrown at these big league players while the kids that aspire to be one of these big league players could quite possibly be denied the opportunity to play America's favorite sport, because their family can't afford the fees.
Just one time, I would like to hear someone using the phrase "It's For The Children", mean it.

FREDERICK, Md. - The attorney for a Maryland man says his client will plead guilty to tossing a Chihuahua off a bridge.
Attorney Eugene Souder says 35-year-old David Beers, whose trial was set to begin Monday in Frederick, will plead guilty to aggravated animal cruelty, a felony, and theft under $500.
Beers allegedly told investigators he got angry when the dog's owners ordered him off their property after he had pulled into their driveway to make a cell phone call in June.

More Evidence The Lift Station Behind Sam's Club Is Having Issues
Last week we brought to every one's attention the Lift Station on Northgate Drive just behind Sam's Club and the fact that they're having issues with it.
As you can see from the pictures above, the City has been working on it once again and information continues to come in that this section is about to fail any day now.
This is a major problem for a couple of reasons. Number one is, they already have a problem with the Lift Station on Naylor Mill Road and Rt. 13. In fact, it's so bad they have halted any new development for the next 6 months because of it. We're told they have a new location for a new Lift Station near one of the new Hotels in that area.
Should this other Lift Station completely fail, well, this could be a complete disaster. There are too many residents and businesses in that area that must rely on these systems working in order to get the sewage from that far north all the way back to the WWTP. These systems force the sewage back to the Plant and if they fail, well, gravity will not allow the sewage to naturally flow and it will back up to a point in which it could start causing serious health issues and close businesses.
Keep in mind Folks, I highly doubt money has been allocated for this particular project, especially since the problem has been flying under the radar for so long.
OK, so what does this mean. Well, when you consider such infrastructure problems such as this, the Downtown Plaza and numerous other unforeseen problems in the future, Mayor Ireton is more than likely going to have to propose a tax increase on the citizens.
BUT WAIT, didn't Comegys, Cathcart, Shields, Dunn and Tilghman promise you "Growth will pay for growth?"

Joe,
Thanks for posting this. I am the grateful owner of "RedBird." He had been missing for a week. I got a call from a friend this morning at 6:30 telling me that someone had found him. I visit your site almost every day, but I never thought that RedBird would ever be your top headline! Thanks to you and to your loyal fans for letting you know that he was found.

The Downtown Plaza Remains Closed To Vehicle Traffic
For what it's worth Folks, I had been taking pictures of this exact location as far back as the Barrie Tilghman days letting the City know the bricks were separating and failing but you know where that got me. You can't blame a guy for trying.

Farmers Just Can't Get A Break
I captured these images yesterday to show everyone just how bad things are for Farmers out there. To think we have at least two more straight days of rain, it's going to make things that much more difficult for Farmers to get it together for the season.
