The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on stage in front of a huge crowd.
The Pope leans towards Mrs. Pelosi and said, “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their hearts and for the rest of their lives whenever they speak of this day they will rejoice!”
Pelosi replied, “I seriously doubt that with one little wave of your hand? Show me.”
So the Pope slowly raises his hand and with lightning speed ................................................................................

Fischer increases production of its MRX Sport motorcycle
Pocomoke City, Maryland (October 1, 2009) – American Sport Motorcycle manufacturer Fischer Motor Company of Pocomoke City, Maryland is pleased to announce a production increase for the 2010 MRX Sport motorcycle.
After shipping their first production units just this past summer, Fischer has been receiving orders at an increasing rate.
“We always knew that once people discovered the value of the MRX, we wouldn’t be able to build them fast enough,” says FMC president Dan Fischer, “and even though we’re increasing production, we’re still a very small company, and each MRX is hand built- right here in the United States.”
With many of the first units going overseas to Australia and Europe, there are very few of these beautiful motorcycles riding around the highways of the US, but MRX owners are getting a lot of use out of their bikes. “Because of the standard Ohlins suspension, Brembo brake parts, and GP chassis, people think of the MRX only as a track bike.” continues Fischer. “But the comfortable riding position, the plush leather seat, and the great electronics package make the MRX an excellent all-day sport-tourer, too. Our customers are putting thousands of reliable miles on them, and we’re so glad to see that everyone just loves their MRX.”
With this long-awaited production increase, you may soon see an MRX in your neighborhood, or at your local racetrack.
Dealership and race sponsorship opportunities are now available for the beautiful and exotic MRX.

Odor on Nictitate (chapter 3)
Odor on Nictitate
By Odor Eliminator
Chapter 3 – Someone’s got to take the heat, it might as well be the cops!
Bloggers sure have been busy this past week. It’s taking me longer and longer to keep up with all of the posts on the many blogs. Trying to sort through the relevance of all the mucky muck that is being slung out into cyberspace is becoming a who’s who story of its own. This book might well extend into the next millennium.
Before I go any further I need to say that there is a great divide that has been inserted into Christine’s case and it appears as if there are now sides as to who the good people are and who the bad people are. In relationship to the case, the only bad guys are whoever is involved in Christine’s disappearance.
Secondly, if you have ever been a victim of crime, you will understand the feelings of expecting law enforcement to move heaven and earth to put the perpetrator(s) behind bars. Add watching too many television programs such as CSI or Cold Case to the mix of emotions and the imagination runs wild.
So, where were we? Last week, we left off with the promise of looking into law enforcements role in this saga. This is going to take some time so for all of you avid readers out there – sit back and get comfy because I’m going to stop along the way for doses of rationality.
In telling this story, it needs to be perfectly understood that no member of law enforcement has contributed to this accounting. Likewise, OE would never expect LE to divulge any details concerning Christine’s case and would think much less of them if they did.
Along came a spider called Nictitate spinning a tale of corruption and conspiracy within law enforcement agencies involved in Christine’s case. Nictitates tale is spun from a long running conspiracy theory which has been brewing in the City of Pocomoke and fueled by opinions from a local blog. In the spirit of fairness, one has to reason that it’s much more interesting to tell conspiracy tales than to tell factual accountings of a story.
Just what does a real accounting of the events of police involvement tell? Supposedly, the police dropped the ball in the very beginning when Christine went missing and if you listen to the chatter, they haven’t done much good since then. This is where OE’s investigation has gone. Sources and eyewitness accounts are differing from the chatter.
Concerns over Christine missing began on the evening of November 13, 2007 and a call was made to the Pocomoke City Police Department by her family. The caller was told to contact the Delaware State Police.
At this point in time, there’s no reason to suspect that anything out of the ordinary had taken place only that someone had taken off. Christine had every right to disappear if she wanted to since she was an adult and couldn’t be considered an underage runaway.
In addition, the farm house where Christine was staying is not within the jurisdiction of the PCPD it’s in the jurisdiction of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Department and the Maryland State Police. Christine was from Delaware, was supposed to have returned to Delaware that evening, and the caller was from Delaware.
– Proper procedure?
By November 15th, the Worcester County Sheriff’s Department arrived at the farm on Byrd Road to take a statement from the last people to see Christine Sheddy. The occupants, Clarence aka Butch, aka Junior, aka JR, Jackson and Teresa Lynn, aka Tia Johnson, tell the story that they had left the farm on the afternoon of the 13th to pick their children up from school and when they returned they found that Christine was gone and had left her two young children behind.
It’s also known that at the time of Christine’s disappearance a cousin of Tia’s, Justin Hadel was living at the farm house and he was questioned as well. It is not known if Justin Hadel left the farm house with JR and Tia when they went to pick their children up from school. There is evidence that tells a different story than the one that JR, Tia, and Justin tell.
There are others who LE has identified that were on the premises during the day of November 13th when Christine was reported missing.
Time Out……… Dose of rationality………………..
Nictitates tale says that Christine was murdered on the night of November 12th. How this has been determined is anyone’s guess and it appears as if a supposition has been made. Nictitates groupies are hanging on the web of tales accepting it as the gospel truth. We know that Nictitates nest has hatched out some interesting babies who have become a team and they claim to have psychic powers.
Observers of the international seer society have mixed thoughts about their special abilities and say that it’s a show worth seeing. Over the past two years, the team of seers has placed Christine all over the countryside. Witnesses tell OE that some within LE were willing to be opened minded enough and to satisfy Christine’s family’s insistence of looking into information provided by the seers. But that is something that will be for a later chapter of the Odor on Nictitate tale.
We all can speculate as to what happened to Christine and come up with a determination however that doesn’t mean that it’s the truth. Only those who witnessed the happenings of what went on the evening of November 12th and the day of November 13th, know the real story.
Sources tell us that three days later a Worcester County Sheriff is seen going through the neighborhood surrounding the farm armed with pictures of a young man and woman practicing tongue exercises together. They are asking folks if they have seen the young woman because she is missing.
One eyewitness tells us that it was a Sunday afternoon when they were stopped while on Byrd Road and asked about the pictures. The Deputy who asked them was off duty and they joked and teased with him about his dedication to his job.
Within a couple of days following, Worcester County Sheriff’s arrive on the Byrd Road Farm to search for the missing woman. Several units are dispatched to aide in this effort. The occupants of the farm house are not at home.
Scuttle butt is that LE found the door to the farm house ajar and checked it out for a possible breaking and entering. Upon entering the house, pets within were found in physically bad shape and the proper authorities were called to remove them from their environment.
When LE left the premises, they stopped and showed the neighbors the pictures and asked about the missing woman. The neighbors tell OE that they did not recognize the woman in the picture but learned her name and that she had been reported missing. LE also asked and was given pictures from a security camera on their property.
Okay, Time Out….... Now I don’t know about the rest of you but…… from what I understand, in Maryland, people who want to file a missing persons report should contact the law agency within the county that they are living or where the missing person was living, not where they went missing from. The next step is to file a written report with that agency and provide LE with as many details about the missing person as they can. Remember that PCPD told the family to contact the Delaware State Police? The Delaware police then told the family that they needed to contact local authorities where the person went missing from. Since the family didn’t know where the farm was located, they contacted the Pocomoke Volunteer Fire Department and were given the correct address of the farm. Is it too far of a stretch of one’s imagination to think that the family was told by PCPD what the procedure is? Nothing more nothing less?
Rationality dose - In less than two days time the police take a statement concerning Christine missing. What can be clearly seen here is “special” treatment if you take into consideration all of the legal procedures for a person to be considered missing and for LE to step in.
We are now into over a week since Christine went missing. There is no indication of foul play behind her disappearance but LE is still looking for her. If everyone is to believe the early stories, Christine was portrayed as someone who had a habit of disappearing. It’s been said that she had been known to drop her two youngest children off with their father Levi Hall and then pull a vanishing act. At the time that Christine went to Pocomoke for an extended visit, Levi was leaving messages on My Space looking for her.
Police investigations deal in facts. There is a reason for that and it’s called the law. The law is there to protect people’s rights and LE can’t just go around accusing people of things without hard proof. A family’s say so is not hard proof of anything except their loyalty to a family member.
It’s reasonable to think that by the end of November 2007, LE had heard so many stories from many sources that they were going to have to start sifting through all of the statements and try to figure out if indeed there had been foul play surrounding Christine’s disappearance.
Sources tell OE that in early December, LE visited the Byrd Road property again at night time. JR and Tia had been evicted and Christine’s case had been turned over to the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation.
Eyewitnesses to this visit say that WCBI investigators notified them that they would be on the property and not to be alarmed if they observed lights coming from the now empty farm house. At this time, the neighbors were still using the services of a private security firm and LE didn’t want to cause any unnecessary concern over their presence.
During this same month, December 2007, LE along with Flatland Search and Rescue conducted a search of the entire Byrd Road Area.
What did WCBI find on their visit to the farm house in early December? If you listen to the ranting of the cop bashers - nothing.
Time Out…….here comes another dose of rationality………. It’s highly doubtful that LE would discuss anything about what they did or didn’t find at the farm during their visits. What we do know is that they continued to look for Christine.
What we are told is that at some point during this time frame Christine’s mother had a conversation with Mike McDermott, Mayor of Pocomoke City and a detective with WCBI. Evidently some heated words were exchanged and as the story goes Mr. McDermott made some type of disparaging comment about Christine being a sponge on society. That comment has recently been repeated by a local blog owner who has said that it’s true because Mr. McDermott made the same comment about Christine to them.
What’s obvious is that there is bad blood between the Mayor of Pocomoke City, Christine’s family, and the owners of the local blog. Anyone can see that as soon as you read the many episodes of negative comments on the blog concerning the Mayor of our fair city.
Somehow in all of the controversy over the Mayor, Christine’s family members and the blog owners joined forces for a common cause. Get the Mayor/Detective. This is where the lines get real fuzzy and it’s a take no prisoner war. It’s apparent to bloggers that you are either with them are you’re not. There is not any middle ground and you can’t be interested in helping to find Christine unless you are also interested in bashing Mr. McDermott.
What gets real confusing is how the battle with the Mayor equates to slip shod police work in looking for Christine. Yes, I know, I’m kind of jumping around here on subjects but honestly if you’ve been a witness to any of the shenanigans, this is how it goes. You can’t talk or think about one without the other. If Mayor McDermott made such a disparaging comment about Christine, then he needs to man up, own it, and correct the problem!
Unfortunately for all of the many fine men and woman of LE who have been in any way involved in Christine’s case are now the targets of the bad mouthing. Sources who have observed the work of LE tell OE that the police have made many efforts to find Christine. One source tells us that Christine’s family knows that LE is progressing in the case and at this time they are waiting on crucial evidence.
Many sources tell OE that they have witnessed LE efforts in finding Christine. One witness tells OE “I have seen many times where detectives involved in Christine’s case have been out searching on their day off”. So now you have it folks. Did LE drop the ball? OE says NO. For all of the thankless ingrates OE is stepping up in their place and says “thank you” to LE for all of your efforts in trying to find Christine!
OE thinks it would be an intelligent decision for the cop bashers to stop their shenanigans. To lay blame on LE is ridiculous and disrespectful of their efforts. Nictitates tale is just that, a tale filled with nonsense and maliciousness. The seer’s society needs to cut the crap. The word charlatan comes to mind.

Golden Tapestry Created From Spider Silk
This is not your everyday knee-warmer.
Woven entirely out of spider silk, a shimmering, 11-by-4 foot golden tapestry has gone on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
According to the museum's Web site, the spectacular textile is the brainchild of British art historian Simon Peers, who studied previous attempts to use spider silk to produce fabric.
More than 1 million golden orb spiders from Madagascar were "silked" to produce enough thread to weave the stunning tapestry, the museum said. To extract the surprisingly durable thread, a special harness was used to hold the spiders in place.
It took 70 hired workers four years to make the tapestry, the museum said, at an approximate cost to Peers of $500,000.
Believed to be the only one of its kind in the world, the cashmere-soft creation will be on view at the American Museum of Natural History until traveling to London next year.

Pocomoke VFD under Fire AGAIN!!
Let me just say this post IS NOT about the missing Christine Sheddy or her family. It is however about those that align themselves with this completely ridiculous rhetoric that I have been made aware of by concerned citizens.
It seems we have a reporter/blogger constantly, for reasons unknown, bashing and trashing our VFD. It is a damn shame that even some of our locals and a local blogger have felt the need to put themselves under the wing of this vial, out-of-town reporter/blogger that is supposed to be looking into the Sheddy case.
I refuse to honor either site with my presence even to read their garbage of constant belittlement of our local heroes. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I cannot, however, ignore the pleas for help from the locals that call on me as their outlet for help.
In reference to the post that I have received (I wont post it, it's that bad) this viral blogger/reporter is cautioning our citizens not to take their children to the PVFD ladies auxiliary event or and fire prevention, or Christmas event in fear for the children. This is another slap in the face of our wonderful VFD and a question of their judgment as to who can be a VFM.
I WILL say this again, anyone in Pocomoke that aligns themselves with that nasty blogger/reporter SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!! including any local blogs/bloggers.
This is not about bringing Christine home, they have another agenda that will rear it's ugly head in time. Those of you sitting back wringing your hands that this blogger will expose the corruption in Pocomoke will end up with egg on your face and may not be able to show your face in public in the future. I hope you do not have a fire and the truck just happens to break-down, that would be awful.
There is a lot wrong here in Pocomoke, as with any other City in this great country. But we have more good than bad. I'm sorry I will NOT sit idly by and whatch these bloggers drag our good people of the VFD through the mud. I have a lot more on my mind to say, but it wouldn't be so nice. I'll get the chance to say it to their FACE in time.
And to the VFD, Thank you for your service. I hope you find the resource to sue for liable. The "B" picked the wrong town this time.

Somerset deputy who lost job feels 'robbed' (update)
Board found officer guilty of leaking info;
Former Somerset Sheriff's deputy James "Troy" Durham knew he wanted to be a cop since he was 5 years old.
When the Pocomoke City native's parents would take him to fairs and carnivals, he didn't spend a lot of time playing games and riding rides like the other children. He would spend his time talking to police officers, and playing with the lights and sirens in their cruisers, he said.
"I think God planted that seed in my heart all my life," he said.
Durham, 41, said he spent most of his adult life working toward his dream job, which materialized when he joined the Princess Anne Police Department in 1992. Six years later, he made his way to the Somerset County Sheriff's Office -- the same place where his dream career came to an abrupt end.
"I want to go back because I feel like I was robbed and it was taken from me," Durham said referring to his job. "I want to go back and serve my community."
Durham alleges that he was fired from the Sheriff's Office out of retaliation after he refused to omit information from an incident report, one in which he indicated he used force to subdue a suspect who resisted arrest.
However, according to Somerset County Sheriff Bobby Jones, Durham was terminated because he released information regarding the report.
"Our policy is not to disseminate information, and he did," Jones said. "And he's still doing it."
Durham filed a civil lawsuit against the Sheriff's Office and Somerset County Commissioners in April. The six-page complaint details the incident of the changed report and alleges misconduct within his former place of employment, stating the commissioners and Sheriff's Office violated state laws, including the Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights. Copies of the complaint and other documents were faxed to public officials, government agencies and other law enforcement departments across the state.

Blog Moderation is Enabled
Bare with us through this period please. During the last few days weeks, who knows time flies? We have had to put up with some off-the-wall? comments, reason being is NOT that we agree with those comments but not to jump the gun so we could investigate from where they were coming from.
Some of those post were hurtful, some just didn't make sense, some were off topic etc. But rather than just delete those post after they had been read by everyone anyway we have been searching for the source.
Our apologizes to those that have been offended and those that think those comments reflected our opinion, I assure it does not.
I was very happy to see that those comments DID NOT come from our locals but rather from trolls that jump allover the internet causing problems everywhere they go. Now unlike some I WILL NOT expose those trolls as even they have a right to their privacy and I will not violate that.
I will say we know who you are and we WILL warn the other blogs and/or forums if it continues.
Thanks PPE's for understanding, and to those that read and found some comments offensive we apologize, but I do hope you now understand what was happening.

They Come From Across The Land
That's right, as the title says, they come from across the land.
I find this very interesting to say the least. After all the heat and trolls we have been dealt for the last little while I decided to do some digging to see just why we do not seam to see a middle ground.
What I did was decided to keep a log, a very personal log where no one could see it, in my head.
I was not very surprised at my conclusion as I had already suspected what my findings would be.
And those findings are...the vast majority that comes here to the PPE to stir the pot and spit vitriol are from thousands of miles away... they have never been to a search, they have never given their time, they have never thanked a PVFireman, why? because they don't live here.
So with that, if there's another search will the land be filled with these 'so-called' supporters from thousands of miles away? (all 5-6 of them?)Will they fly in from TX, CA, ME, KY, TN, ect.etc? That's an easy one, NOPE!
They are trolls, and some folks jump right on their trolling rigs like a hungry blue fish.
Every local that posts here are on the same page, and some outsiders also, but mostly every single local person can see what's happening.
It is a darn shame that some have fallen trap of a few trolls that want attention and are sitting back laughing about the way they have influenced others that are at present, week at heart.
Kudos to the locals and a few others that see this for what it is.

Somerset deputy fired after complaint
Officer claims he was ordered to alter, omit info in arrest report
James "Troy" Durham was nervous when he heard that Worcester County sheriff's deputies were knocking on his door Friday afternoon
It wasn't so long ago that the 41-year-old former Somerset County Sheriff's deputy was in the law enforcement brotherhood.
But he was kicked out of the family after working more than two decades as an officer when Somerset Sheriff Bobby Jones terminated him last week. Durham had been placed on administrative leave in September 2008, where he remained and continued to be paid by the county for a year.
"It was an effort to intimidate me and keep me quiet," Durham said of the visit from the Worcester officers. "I am in fear of my well-being."
Durham says this all began with a single arrest report. He assisted the Maryland State Police during an arrest. Per normal routine, he filed a report shortly after. Durham says he was asked to change his report and omit certain pieces of information. When he refused, he claims he was told to make the change or turn in his badge and gun.
He made the change.
But he kept the original report. And with it he filed a grievance.
That grievance, Durham maintains, is why he was placed on leave, why he was fired, why he became the target of an investigation and why he now fears for his safety.
For filing his grievance, Durham said, he found himself under investigation for "leaking internal documents."
His grievance has since become the foundation for a civil lawsuit against the Somerset County Sheriff's Office and Somerset County Commissioners.
It details the incident of the changed report and alleged misconduct within his former place of employment.
Errant faxes
According to Durham, the house call by Worcester deputies was triggered by faxes that contained court documents related to the lawsuit.
The six-page complaint, filed in April, alleges the commissioners and Sheriff's Office violated state laws, including the Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights.
Why Durham's lawsuit was faxed to various law enforcement agencies is unclear and has sparked an investigation at the request of Wicomico County State's Attorney Davis Ruark.
The deputies were sent to check on Durham on Friday simply to make sure he was OK, according to Sgt. Ed Schreier, a spokesman for the Worcester County Sheriff's Office.
"The officers were sent there because a lot of faxes were being sent out," he said. "They went down there to check his status."
Schreier later changed his story, saying he didn't know the exact reason the deputies were checking on Durham and he could not confirm the dispatch was directly related to the faxes.
Copies of documents related to the lawsuit were sent by fax to law enforcement departments, public officials within the state and other agencies, according to Ruark.
The phone number at the top of the fax, which indicates the number the document was sent from, is a number associated with the Wicomico County State's Attorney's Office. But Ruark said the documents were not sent from his office.
"The fraudulent originating fax number at the top is inexcusable and was done with an intention to mislead those receiving the faxes," Ruark said.
The State's Attorney's Office was bombarded with phone calls and complaints after the first round of faxes were sent out about six months ago, according to Ruark. And as a result, the office took extra security precautions and changed the locks on its office doors. However, more documents were sent out this week, again claiming to have originated from the Wicomico County State's Attorney's Office.
Memos to other government agencies were also distributed to inform them that the faxed lawsuit documents were not from the Wicomico state's attorney.
Now, the legal documents that allege misconduct and violations by the Somerset County Sheriff's Office and Somerset County Commissioners have passed through many hands across the state, and Durham says he still wonders how he became the subject of an investigation and ultimately lost his career.
According to Durham, the threads of his 20-year law enforcement career started to unravel when he filed that grievance in September 2008.

Threatening Email; OK, Here it is, The Post you all have been waiting for.
This is where I stand folks, this is what I get after exposing lie after lie.
It's pretty obvious that we at PPE have struck a nerve and this is only one example of what I deal with behind the scenes of an opinion blog.
Being the fact that you folks will not stand for embellishments, plagiarism, and a host of other implications and conspiracy theories that our good people and our fine City has recently been accused of, this is their only recourse of action. Intimidation. I can assure I WILL NOT be bullied into backing down when it comes to exposing the truth.
Below you will read an email that I received from the owner of the website 'Blinkoncrime" Shannon Stoy... her motive is to quiet us, more like silence us, but let me say that if that website embellishes as it has on numerous occasions we will not stand by and watch it happen.
The Blinkoncrime.com owner can threaten me all she wants and if they at blinkoncrime.com had consistently uncovered the truth this would not be an issue. Yet this is no issue on my part, I WILL NOT, now, or ever stand idly by and watch anyone drag our VFD and/or LE through the mud.
Our LE has gone to every length they could muster up a resolve to this case, they have gone well above and beyond their duty, even listening on their phone to someone with a wee-jee board trying to direct the officer to a body.
If one cannot support that, well there's no hope for them. Read the email below, and discuss. Keep it respectful please!!
BTW: I want all our readers to know that I sent a return email and gave this person 24 hours to provide me with proof of their copyright to this email.

Pocomoke leaves positions open to absorb state cuts
The Pocomoke mayor and Council voted Monday night to approve a cut of more than one-quarter of a million dollars in the 2009-2010 budget to absorb the effects of revenue reductions from the state.
City Manager Russell W. Blake reported that the state was cutting $221,522, mostly in highway user revenues, from the funds that would normally have been sent to Pocomoke City. The balance was cut from aid for police protection. Blake said that this was the largest cut the state, which is slashing its own budget as tax revenues fall short, had ever imposed on Pocomoke City.
Blake said that there were also items not included in the budget, such as the $10,000 reward for the arrests of the arsonists in the Public Works fire, $20,000 in costs related to a well project, and $12,000 for the purchase of the Fleming lot on Market Street.
To meet this shortfall, he proposed savings of $262,277 in unspent capital outlay and in not filling employment positions. There would be no layoffs or furloughs of personnel already working for the city.
The budget would also continue to include funds for a part-time downtown coordinator and the pigging of the water lines in the Pocomoke Heights area.
Treatment plant proposals
The council reviewed a proposal for contract administration for the sewage treatment plant ENR upgrade project. The only one that was submitted was from George, Miles and Buhr. Blake suggested that the council proceed to negotiate with the firm, a move that was given the okay by the council.
Proposed policies
The state of Maryland had asked the council to submit a policy giving guidelines for borrowing by the town. Blake said that this is not a problem for Pocomoke City, since the town had incurred very little debt. The policy, which was passed by the council, calls for the debt not to exceed 3 percent of the operating fund or one percent of the assessed valuation of property in the city limits.
The state is also requiring revisions in the stormwater management ordinance. The council is expecting to hear a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission at a future meeting. The deadline for a draft ordinance is Nov. 11.
In a hearing concerning a repair or demolish order for the former truck stop property on Route 13 south, William Hudson, one of the property owners, appeared to comment about the order. He said that the building had been closed, but he questioned the short amount of time to demolish the building if that action was needed.
Mayor Michael A. McDermott said even though the building might have been secured, it was "obviously an abandoned building."
Hudson said he would need more time, about six months, if the building had to be demolished. He added that he would take care of covering up the graffiti that is presently on the building.
The town decided to give him 60 days to remove the graffiti and secure the building and would review the matter in six months concerning any other actions.
Ron Sawyer, a Pocomoke resident, appeared before the council to discuss the policy on removal of abandoned cars. He had received a notice about a vehicle on his property and had removed it. He thought the policy was a good one, but that it was not being handled fairly. He has seen a number of other abandoned vehicles throughout the town.
McDermott said that a lot of the action in this area was complaint-driven. He also requested Sawyer's help in reporting any vehicles he has seen.
Under other business, the council passed an ordinance declaring a number of items, mostly cars, as surplus so they could be disposed of and they approved the Fair Board's plan to reimburse horse owners who had come to this year's races at the fair. The races were rained out.

To meet this shortfall, he proposed savings of $262,277 in unspent capital outlay and in not filling employment positions. There would be no layoffs or furloughs of personnel already working for the city.
The budget would also continue to include funds for a part-time downtown coordinator and the pigging of the water lines in the Pocomoke Heights area.
Treatment plant proposals
The council reviewed a proposal for contract administration for the sewage treatment plant ENR upgrade project. The only one that was submitted was from George, Miles and Buhr. Blake suggested that the council proceed to negotiate with the firm, a move that was given the okay by the council.
Proposed policies
The state of Maryland had asked the council to submit a policy giving guidelines for borrowing by the town. Blake said that this is not a problem for Pocomoke City, since the town had incurred very little debt. The policy, which was passed by the council, calls for the debt not to exceed 3 percent of the operating fund or one percent of the assessed valuation of property in the city limits.
The state is also requiring revisions in the stormwater management ordinance. The council is expecting to hear a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission at a future meeting. The deadline for a draft ordinance is Nov. 11.
In a hearing concerning a repair or demolish order for the former truck stop property on Route 13 south, William Hudson, one of the property owners, appeared to comment about the order. He said that the building had been closed, but he questioned the short amount of time to demolish the building if that action was needed.
Mayor Michael A. McDermott said even though the building might have been secured, it was "obviously an abandoned building."
Hudson said he would need more time, about six months, if the building had to be demolished. He added that he would take care of covering up the graffiti that is presently on the building.
The town decided to give him 60 days to remove the graffiti and secure the building and would review the matter in six months concerning any other actions.
Ron Sawyer, a Pocomoke resident, appeared before the council to discuss the policy on removal of abandoned cars. He had received a notice about a vehicle on his property and had removed it. He thought the policy was a good one, but that it was not being handled fairly. He has seen a number of other abandoned vehicles throughout the town.
McDermott said that a lot of the action in this area was complaint-driven. He also requested Sawyer's help in reporting any vehicles he has seen.
Under other business, the council passed an ordinance declaring a number of items, mostly cars, as surplus so they could be disposed of and they approved the Fair Board's plan to reimburse horse owners who had come to this year's races at the fair. The races were rained out.

Police say one shooting hit target, other hit bystander
POCOMOKE CITY -- Police are searching for a suspect they believe is responsible for shooting two local men
On Monday, Sept. 14, a 20-year-old Pocomoke City resident was shot in the calf near the intersection of Bonneville Avenue and Second Street just after 9 p.m. The victim was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The man would not give any information to police about the shooter.
In a similar incident on the morning of Sept. 16, a 25-year-old man, also of Pocomoke City, was shot in the ankle near Sixth and Bank streets. The man was treated and released from Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin.
Pocomoke City Police officials believe that events are related and that one person is responsible for both shootings.
"It appears to be something that may have been borne out of a fight that happened some where outside of Pocomoke," said Pocomoke City Mayor Michael McDermott who added that the shootings targeted one individual, the man shot Wednesday morning. "It seems that there is some type of retaliation involved."
Shootings are not common in Pocomoke City, said Police Chief J.D. Ervin, and when they do happen, they tend not to be random.
"This is the first one we've had in four or five years," Ervin said. "They are very seldom and unfortunately these things normally don't start in Pocomoke -- they start outside of Pocomoke and come into town."
Police have identified a suspect they think is responsible for both shootings and are optimistic he will soon be in custody. In the meantime, Ervin said, residents should not be worried about their safety.
"Nobody wants any shootings or incidents like this in their community, but unfortunately theses types of things aren't always preventable," Ervin said. "But there shouldn't be any concern."
Anyone with information is asked to call 410-957-1600.

Hawkins man accused of breaking into home, setting shower curtain on fire
Hmmmmm? Is it? Could it be?
ROGERSVILLE — A Hawkins County man accused of breaking into his girlfriend’s former house and setting the shower curtain on fire was charged Tuesday with aggravated burglary and arson.
According to reports, the girlfriend of Clarence Jackson, 35, 176 Bass Lane, Rogersville, was recently evicted from a residence at 166 E. Madeline Lane.
The new occupant of the residence was in the process of moving but hadn’t moved anything into the house Tuesday when she received a call from a witness informing her that the house had just been broken into.
When the new occupant arrived, she found that a French door at the rear of the house had been broken with a rock, and a shower curtain in the bathroom had been set on fire.
Although the shower curtain burned up, the fire extinguished itself before spreading.
The witness reportedly recognized Jackson as the person who had arrived at the residence.
The witness told police that Jackson pulled his vehicle to the rear of the house, broke out the glass to the rear door with a rock, and entered the house.
The witness said Jackson left a short time after entering the residence.
Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office Detective Jeff Greer later contacted Jackson at his home and brought him to the Surgoinsville Police Department for questioning.
Jackson allegedly admitted to going to the house but denied breaking in.
Damage to the residence was estimated at $300.
Jackson remained lodged in the Hawkins County Jail Wednesday without bond.
He is scheduled for arraignment Sept. 28 in Hawkins County Sessions Court.

Strange Lights in the Sky
For anyone that saw the bright lights in the sky Saturday evening just after dark it wasn't a visit from aliens. I heard a deep rumble, similar to thunder, from not too far away, but thought nothing of it until I got a phone call from my son concerning any rocket launches from NASA. From Assateague beach on the Maryland side a huge bright light was seen and then just poofed into a white cloud. Well, that must have been an interesting sight.
Turns out NASA successfully launched the Black Brant XII rocket from the launch pad located in Wallops Island, Virginia. The rocket was designed to gather data on the highest clouds in the atmosphere. NASA hopes that the experiment will give them useful information regarding the properties and formation of the clouds, named noctilucent clouds, which occur in the higher altitudes.
So there you have it! Lots of people living in the Northeast (even as far away as Boston) saw the lights. Many people reported the sightings to news stations, as I guess I would have too. But, sorry, no aliens, just NASA.
And that's a good thing.

How Does The Public Eye Feel?
Well, let me tell you.
From the beginning I was not even aware that Pocomoke had a missing person. I found that information on another blog a few months after the person went missing. At that point I asked questions, did some searching. I did alot of searching and I found so much bumbled-up info out there that Sherlock Holmes could not string it together.
Now, in the beginning I do believe that LE "dropped the ball". But I also believe they must have had a reason not to jump on this right away. We do have an outstanding Sheriffs Department so the question to why the wait in the very beginning we may never know.
But the people of Pocomoke worked diligently. They talked to friends, neighbors, searched the internet, asked questions. They even blogged tirelessly trying to help. Eventually, they even personally volunteered their personal time and bodies on multiple occasions.
Then things quiet down again for a while. Yet the folks of Pocomoke, the ones that were in it from the start, kept pecking the keyboards finding bits and pieces and providing that info for whomever needed to know.
Still, no sight nor sound about what is actually happening to find this missing person. All the while the family is losing hope by the day. But the Pocomoke community has not forgotten them. Slowed down? Maybe. It's the same information over and over but we still work on tirelessly. We said we would, and by-golly we won't quit!
Fast forward: Something happened. What? We don't know......nothing new......Is anyone working on this? Then BANG!! New evidence! Yeeehaw! Just as we thought LE was not working on this. They prove that they are on the case with new findings.
Now shhhhhhh!! No one say anything about this "new"find. Ok. So we wait and wait. What's going on we wonder but we are told to "Shhhhh". So mums the word because we are a community of integrity and few want to be on the end of "so-n-so told me", "he said/she said" you know the small town "chatter".
Now once again it quiets down for awhile, and once again we wonder. Ok. Times up! Let's do this thing again......... Blogs are alive, people talking about who, what, when, why and how. We go to new places, do new searches, contact new people. We put a fire under their ass once again but each time we come up with less or I should more of the same. Of course we do. There is only so much info available and we have seen it all before.
Fast forward again. Someone finds a website that deals in missing persons that decides they want to help. Yeeehaw!! The city is ecstatic that this new person is willing to jump in and help. We probably bombarded them with emails. I know I did. I even sent them embarrassing emails of things I personally question and am skeptical about. But I figured what the heck.....leave nothing that could possibly help out of the picture.
Enters---- the "new hope" for the Sheddy family. At first we all stuck fast to our computers. We just could not wait to get home and fire up the PC, read and contribute VIA comments about what we knew and how we knew it. The "new hope" seemed vigilant and progressive.
But wait!! Something's not quite right. Some things we have said are taken way out of context. We are told there is no mishandling by the first appointed. I was even told by this "new hope" that she would personally campaign to help the first working on the case, to seek a higher office that the first in control of the case was seeking. (scratching head) Yeah, I know. That's a rough one.
Now off to blogging we go. Oh boy! We are going to get somewhere now! But wait! That's not right. Tha'ts not what was said. Now I have some questions. I ask those questions. But instead of an answer I get blamed. Me? Ok must be a mistake.
I/we keep plugging away and asking questions but I find now I and others are being blamed. What's going on here?
I start looking for the truth. Then I started posting my findings of the truth and BOOM!! I'm suddenly the bad guy. I'm the blogger that's trying to stir up trouble........I'm now the bad-guy, a target.
Oh boy! Now I'm going to be sued.
More and more people jump aboard the truth all the while others are now being accused of being me and I of being others. Why this diversion? Why the division? All the while the PCVFD is being implicated in a cover-up and conspiracy. We read about fires in Parsonsburg. There's a deputy Fire Marshall shot in the leg and the thefts at the Wicomico county landfill plus an eleven year old RICO case? Yet, I have to ask.........Where is Christine?
It looks as if the "new hope" has changed directions and is looking into some kind of government conspiracy that simply does not exist. A complete 180 degree turn from what they stated they would do from the beginning. The "new hope" demanded "proof to back-up" "accusations" from others but now the "new hope" is making accusations with NO proof. Anyone that can read can go back and see that for themselves.
What happened? Did the "new hope" hit a road block and needs some kind of juicy story for their readers, even if it's an embellishment? Did the PPE's throw a wrench into their spokes? Or did the outright lies just catch up to them.
Not much has happened since the "new hope: accused our VFD of deleting information from their website and insinuating that our VFD is involved in a conspiracy.
So, is this the end? What exactly is next? It has become hush-hush once again. Will the police come a-knocking at your door?
Nah!! It's just getting started!
Hold on to your hats!!!!!!!!

Odor on Nictitate (Chapter 2)
Odor on Nictitate
By Odor Eliminator
Chapter 2
Who’s Who in the Nictitate Tale
Rich man, poor man, baker man, thief ……….. keeps running through my head as I write. Most of us probably remember it as a rhyme chanted while jumping rope as a child. I was thinking about all of the “characters” in Nictitates tale, trying to figure out where they belong in my story, and the ditty popped into my head. The ditty is a relentless nag!
It’s been almost two years since Christine Sheddy went missing from the farm house on Byrd Road in Pocomoke, Maryland. Strong belief is that Christine was murdered and since the very beginning, thoughts about who is responsible for her disappearance have not changed.
Several searches of the farm and surrounding area have been conducted by Law Enforcement Agencies, VFD’s, Search and Rescue Teams, and community volunteers. Criticism has been bandied about over the thoroughness of these efforts and of late, accusations have spun out of control. When I started to write this tale, I said that I would search for the truth. This endeavor has proven to be a mind blowing saga that leaves my head spinning and it’s hard to tell where truth leaves off and conspiracy theories take over.
If you’ve read the tale that is being spun by Nictitate there are many characters in the plot. I’m not going to go over the usual list of characters, if you’ve made it this far in the saga, you know who they are or at the very least can find the list on other blogs.
Along came a spider named Nictitate claiming to have “eyewitness” accounts of all of the happenings on the Byrd Road farm. Where she came from is anyone’s guess but we definitely know that she’s not from around these parts.
Cyber detectives and bloggers have been busy this past week tracking down Nictitates nest. It’s lined with AKA’s such as Nidlund, Walker, Moser, Stoy, and a probable AKA of Castellano. In thinking about all of these AKA’s, I dreamed up a new pest control commercial where the spider changes appearances to avoid the bug spray but in the end the spray can says pssst, gotcha!
Lying in wait for their prey, spiders are crafty by nature and Nictitate is no different. Spinning a web from crude fiber she allows her groupies to precariously hang on in case something larger comes along as she knows they will attack. Every once in a while Nictitate throws a left over morsel to the groupies to keep their appetites in check.
Posing as a free lance journalist, investigative journalist, crime writer, editor in chief, an investigator, public relations, communications specialist, and lead analyst/investigator 3View Search Services she lies in wait. Now that’s what I call a really big spider!
In an exclusive interview with neighbors, OE now has some answers to your burning questions. What was Nictitate supposed to be when her associate Man With A Stick approached them about contributing to her tale? “The new detective investigating Christine’s case,” said the neighbors. “She’s from Philadelphia and she has lots of contacts in high places”.
As a matter of fact, when the neighbors didn’t speak with Nictitate at that time as they were going out of town, she called and left a telephone message the following day requesting for them to return her call and also sent an email posing as the lead analyst/investigator 3View Search Services. Now how do you suppose she got their telephone number and email address?
Having seen and spoken to Man With A Stick on some of the searches for Christine, the neighbors trusted him and had originally agreed that they would speak with Nictitate. They now say that “fate stepped in that day” because the timing of the request didn’t fit with their schedule.
After finding out that Nictitate wasn’t such a big spider after all, the neighbors have not spoken to her, will not speak to her, have not or will not give her anything that belongs to them for her book that she is writing. They say that they don’t like “duplicity” and believe that anyone who has to be misleading about what kind of spider they really are needs to get a psssst from the bug spray can.
Rich man, poor man, baker man, thief…….. I now know why the ditty has been a relentless nag. It’s because of all of the poses of Nictitate. Saying that “Nictitate has taken things that belong to them to use as her own and has invaded their privacy by writing inaccurate and twisted tales about the eyewitness accounts of happenings on Byrd Road” the neighbors shake their heads in disgust.
Nictitates tale has gotten way out of control. And yes, downright lies are being told. The character of the people has been carelessly thrown on the ground and stomped on. Furthering the downward spiral is puffed up self important people using Christine’s case to further their private agenda’s. It’s a sad day when in the same breath, a cry for bringing in the FBI to help is finished with a tirade about the corrupt town of Pocomoke. Conspiracy indeed!
The last characters in the who’s who of the Nictitate tale that I’m going to talk about are Law Enforcement. You know, the “real legal people” investigating Christine’s case? But that will have to wait for another day. Too much information at one time about this saga will make your head spin.
Coming soon….. Odor on Nictitate, Chapter 3 – Someone’s got to take the heat, it might as well be the cops!

It's Broke
To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,
It is now official—you are ALL corrupt morons: - The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775—you have had 234 years to get it right—and it is broke.
- Social Security was established in 1935—you have had 74 years to get it right—and it is broke.
- Fannie Mae was established in 1938—you have had 71 years to get it right—and it is broke.
- War on Poverty started in 1964—you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"—and they only want more.
- Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965—you have had 44 years to get it right—and they are broke.
- Freddie Mac was established in 1970—you have had 39 years to get it right—and it is broke.
- The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, it has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before—you had 32 years to get it right—and it is an abysmal failure.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars—AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??
Are you crazy, or do you just believe all Americans are morons too??? Truly, the inmates are running the asylum—and what does this say about us, as voters who put such idiots in office?? If we do not vote against EVERY incumbent currently in office—we are ALL morons, regardless of our political leanings.

Lies, Lies, and more Lies
As I have consistently repeated I WILL expose any and all Lies that are being posted.
What lies now? I cannot keep track of them all... But what I do know is that it only gives us more to weed through to find the truth and it only diminishes the effort to find a conclusion.
On top of that it sends the family in a tail spin of who and what to believe. Like they need that! really.. I think they have enough on them right now to have to deal with he said/she said BS.
On that note, I'm am sorry that I am constantly put in the position to have to stick-up for myself, a contributor, or any posters here because others seam to get-off on dragging innocent people into their lair of conspiracy theories.
So now that I am out of the picture they need a new target, they aimed, they set, they fired... this time on a person that has never posted on the Blink on crime ahhh,... erm,.. whatever you call it? Blog?
Who might that be ya say? One of our contributors; jmmb, they (Blink) have now accused jmmb of using multiple screen names along with another poster, that I will bring up later.
Do you know what this means folks? It means a couple of things, I'll try to tell you.
1) It means that a so-called investigator does not have the investigative skills to research something as simple as an IP address with multiple free internet IP search tools available.
2) jmmb has NEVER posted on Blinks site, so that means that in order for Blink to have jmmb's personal internet information to even assume that jmmb would be using multiple screen names someone had to give out that personal info for someone/another blog) to try to match that info up to the poster, so, another blog or forum is sharing that personal information. Hmmm? (be careful where you post if value your info)
Now let us visit just a few post, shall we?

As I stated early on, jmmb has never posted on blinks site.. EVER.
Soooo, How, where, or whom would give blink jmmb's personal internet information to match this person up to jmmb? (refer back to my IP post) IP's are not unique to each user all the time.
Looks like to me they are doing what us PPE's have been accused of doing, wasting valuable time and resources just to look for a fight.
Well the PPE's are NOT, but it sure is obvious who is.
We are, and we continue to drudge through the mud for the truth.... then reveal it. We focus on the issue.. and they will see that in the end. Even if they don't, I know in my heart that I have done the right thing.
The PPE's have been stomped constantly and we come back to help. That folks is real people for the people. Not the garbage we see above from other sites. And that's just a drop in the bucket, I do not have time to even play games with the really stupid stuff like the Wic. co. landfill and/or the Deputy Fire-marshal, fires in Parsonsburg conspiracies (50 miles away) ect. ect. ect. ect. ect. ect. ect.
What lies now? I cannot keep track of them all... But what I do know is that it only gives us more to weed through to find the truth and it only diminishes the effort to find a conclusion.
On top of that it sends the family in a tail spin of who and what to believe. Like they need that! really.. I think they have enough on them right now to have to deal with he said/she said BS.
On that note, I'm am sorry that I am constantly put in the position to have to stick-up for myself, a contributor, or any posters here because others seam to get-off on dragging innocent people into their lair of conspiracy theories.

#267, okay, but after you start stealing catalytic converters off of cars, where do you turn them in?
That seems like it must be someplace under the table.
Or, I guess what I mean to say is that, unless the scrap metal guy is a crook, he would have to get a little suspicious if someone starts showing up with a whole bunch of catalytic converters, right?
He could have gone out of town, to various places, I would guess.
Sorry XXXXXX, I cannot candone multiple IP and email addys. It is deceptive and not permitted here.

Blink, can we post this article (and any others on this site) to another sites so long as we link back. You know, to get more exposure???
Well, you could if your request was in good faith, JMMB. But as you apparently have the same ip dysphoria as your *cough* associate, no, you may not. BTW, late for the permission request anyway. There is no “retro” in copyrighting, ps..
Considering your the 7th of 9, that allegedly have access to 3 computers albeit simultaneously, well, really 2 if you believe one of the “alters”. How weird is it in that cramped enviornment to have such diametrically opposed viewpoints within minutes of each other. Wow. It’s like an MPD hive at the water cooler in “real time”. Honey provided.
Best Regards,

Looking Back............
I've been looking back on some things today just to see how many loose ends had been tied since Blinkoncrime began this investigation. I didn't find any loose ends connected at all, no conclusions but I did find a few things that were interesting
Sometime before August 31st Blinkoncrime made a statement that Lynn would have a big announcement to make! Readers and Blink supporters couldn't wait.
Then on August 31, 2009 the announcement was made public:

Breaking News
Lynne Dodenhoff, mother of missing Delaware woman Christine Sheddy, announced late this afternoon that 3 View Search Services, headquarted within Purdue University Research Park, will take on Christine’s case.
Christine Sheddy has been missing from a Farmhouse in Pocomoke City, Maryland since November 13, 2007.
Sean Henady, speaking exclusively to blinkonrime this afternoon:
Our asisstance has been requested in the efforts to locate Christine Sheddy. Our analysts have begun some preliminary mapping and review of the case.
Their have been prior searches launched by the investigative efforts of the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation; so we are hopful to asisst in the great work they have already put forward as required.
It states "our assisstance has been requested". Who requested it? And isn't is a nice polite way to acknowledge that Law Enforcement at least gave this a little effort?
It is the policy of 3View that we do not discuss search dates, specific locations, technology assets, or team deployments outside of Law Enforcement.
Sean Henady, Co-Founder 3 View Search Services
It was at that time 3View Search Services appeared in the bar at the top of Blinkoncrime website like this:
Posted by Blink 3 View Search Services, Byrdie Johnson, Charles Timothy Johnson, Christine Sheddy, Clarence "JR" Jackson, Crystal Freeman, Dominick Von Graevenitz, Erin Von Graevenitz, Fabienne Stassen, Jimmy Quail, Joyce Hall, Justin Hadel, Kevin Hadel, Levi Hall, Lynn Dodenhoff, Mandy Albritton, Missing Persons, Murdered, Nikolaus Kellogg, Stanley Hall, Steve Dodenhoff, Steve Magg, Steven Johnson, Tia Johnson, Travis Parsons
So, on August 31, 2009 the announcement was made about 3View Search Services and sometime around September 16, 2009 readers find that they now have to request Law Enforcement to request 3 View.
What gives?
Hannity to Obama: 'Mr. President Turn the Water on Now'
What in the heck is wrong with people?
These left-wing wackos are protecting these 'minnows' over the well-being of the people.
Have you seen this on the MSM? Anywhere?
The government has shut the water off to farmers to save a minnow, a minnow that that can be found in the millions in other parts of the country, but the bleeding hearts say they are more important than the people or their livelihood.

Huron, Calif. (KMPH News) - "Mr. President, turn the water on now," Fox News Host Sean Hannity said, during a live broadcast from the Central Valley. The conservative talk show host anchored his daily program from a farm near Lemoore to highlight the valley's water crisis.
The one hour segment titled, "The Valley that Hope Forgot" drew hundreds to a fallowed tomato field of Highway 198 in Huron. Sylvia Soto said she attended the rally in hopes President Obama was watching. The field worker says she is on the brink of losing her job.
"Our plant is shutting down on the 23rd of October because of the crisis of the water," Soto said.
This crisis is a combination of a statewide drought and water regulations in place to protect endangered fish.
"We are not just talking about the Delta Smelt, we are also talking about Salmon, these salmon are food and provide jobs for people," Federation of Fisherman's Association Zeke Grader said.
Grader told Hannity, local farmers aren't the only ones hurting.
"You need to come up to the north coast the place where I'm from, Fort Bragg, come to Eureka and visit with the unemployed fishermen and give this some balance," Grader said.
Hannity disagreed.
"The problem is the water has been turned off because environmental wackos like you care more about the fish than they do about people," Hannity said.
Manuel Guerra, a Farmer from Kerman said he hoped the spirited debate captured the attention of President Obama.
"I hope that this helps [bring more water] because my brother and I do custom farming and we just lost all of our jobs," Guerra said.
Former Fresno Mayor Alan Autry said although President Obama is no a fan of the conservative talk show host, it's hard to ignore Hannity's voice when it's backed by 'real people'.
"Whether you agree with Sean Hannity or you don't, you can't argue with fact that he is a force in America," Autry said.
Autry told KMPH News he believed the live Fox News broadcast would do for the valley, what town hall protestors did for the health care debate.
"They managed to do something very dramatic and that's have [Obama's] folks go back to the drawing board and come up with a good, common sense health care reform, that was not going to happen until people spoke out," Autry said.
Those in the audience, attending Thursday's rally agreed.
"It's going to take something like this to really make a difference," Phillip Garcia of Firebaugh said.
"Even if Obama does not listen to [Hannity], it's going to swell and it's going to grow and I feel like the message is going to get across," Natasha Hunt of Coalinga said.

Police say two Pocomoke shootings are linked
POCOMOKE CITY — Police are hunting for a suspect they believe is responsible for two shootings this week.
On Monday, a 20-year-old man was shot in the calf near the intersection of Bonneville Avenue and Second Street just after 9 p.m.
The victim was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The man would not give any information to police about the shooter.
In a similar incident Wednesday morning, a 25-year-old man was shot in the ankle near Sixth and Bank streets. The man was treated and released from Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin.
Pocomoke City Police officials believe that events are related, and that one person is responsible for both shootings.
“It appears to be something that may have been borne out of a fight that happened somewhere outside of Pocomoke,” said Pocomoke City Mayor Michael McDermott who added that the shootings do not seem to be random incidents. “It seems that there is some type of retaliation involved.”
The man shot Wednesday night appeared to be the intended target in both shootings, he added, meaning Monday's victim was an accidental target.
“One individual was there at both events, and was struck the second time,” McDermott said. “The police are telling me they believe he was the target both times.”
The police have identified a suspect they think is responsible for both shootings and are working with the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation tofind him. Anyone with information is asked to call 410-957-1600.
