So What REALLY Happened At Wor-Wic Last Week
Last week we published a question HERE about a 23 year long employee being escorted out of Wor-Wic Community College. The article/question produced quite a few comments but today Salisbury News will reveal the TRUTH about what's going on.
Amanda Trego has worked for Wor-Wic for the past 23 years. Amanda graduated college with 2 BS Degrees in 4 years. Two years later she received her first Masters Degree and ultimately she earned two Masters Degrees. Amanda was considered one of the top 5 most valuable employees at Wor-Wic.
After 20+ years Amanda unfortunately started having health issues and this past March Wor-Wic actually put her on probation because of her medical conditions.
Last week they did not fire or terminate Amanda, Wor-Wic simply chose NOT to renew her contract, mainly due to her having to go see specialists. We're told that Wor-Wic, (rather than supporting a 23 year long dedicated employee) chose her medical leave and condition was too much for them to handle.
OK, so why the big deal, right. Well, it turns out, Wor-WicSELF INSURES their employees. Amanda was supposed to go see a specialist in Washington, D.C. for her condition, (which is quite serious) but because they would not give her the leave to do so, she has ignored her Doctors request. Keep in mind, there are NO specialists on the Eastern Shore that can handle her condition. I do know her condition but IMHO its private and I will not share such information here.
Nevertheless, Amanda is clearly a well educated person and based on the fact that someone LEAKED her being escorted out of War-Wic, I felt it extremely important to let every one know the whole truth about what's going on. Amanda has given her life to Wor-Wic. No matter the weather condition, Amanda has always been on call. The list of accolades goes on and on about this woman.
Over the past several years Wor-Wic has hired different leaders to run things out there and from what we're told, this new one is a real doozy. Its all about the money. Its all about employers asking their employees to dedicate their lives for large profits, yet when it comes to the health of the employee, screw them, let them go and move on. My Wife experienced a similar situation with former Mayor Barrie Tilghman and her 18 years on the job with the Salisbury Zoo. She herniated three disks in her back, (ON THE JOB) and she was terminated.
So I feel for Amanda Trego. Rather than ANYONE ever thinking Amanda was let go for ANY other reason, I want this Post to serve as the TRUTH and what Wor-Wic is capable of.
If ANY of you have more scoop on the new Boss at Wor-Wic, feel free to forward that information toalberobutzo@wmconnect.com and we'll provide yet another article down the road. I've already started a decent file on this woman.
On this question, we shouldn’t even speculate at this time. Only time will confirm whether or not Monday’s call to the Salisbury Police was an isolated and bizarre act or a pattern of behavior. However, we believe that we should all be reminded of past behavior by related parties so that we can be vigilant as to any future action.
As reported in this morning’s Daily Times
A few minutes after the incident, Spies spoke about it. According to Spies, Adams and her daughter Alex (a student at Salisbury University and the purported publisher of The Other Salisbury News blog) were sitting in the council chambers and Alex Adams began making faces at Spies while he was delivering his comments after being sworn in. This is confirmed by Mayor Jim Ireton. In a statement to the Daily Times, Ireton said:

SAPOA should lay low and out of the spotlight. All Kris Adams is doing is energizing the troops against all landlords. I hope the Mayor does pass his legislation and we will get the last laugh. If I was SAPOA I would try to distance the group from Kris Adams and keep a low profile. Time will tell but I think she has made some big mistakes and the group will suffer for it.

The SOPOA is obviously afraid of the new council structure.
These types of actions will be their downfall.
This lady and her daughter need mental help.
I'm looking forward to see the improvements in the city.
I'm also interested to see the actions of Shanie.
I think the SAPOA will have to abide by the law now.

Anon 0840 -
steps .
Let's take this in baby
In one case it is clearly anecdotal. I relayed and anecdote of what occurred at a dinner I attended. You are free to call me a liar, but you certainly have no evidence to refute my statement.
As to the other examples I gave, I have written multiple posts in the past that included links to scanned copies of the offending documents.
Third, this is an opinion piece. If you had bothered to read, you would note that it is clearly marked as such. In fact, when you posted your comment, it was right in front of you. Just above the "Post a Comment Link" there is a grey box that shows the time of the post, the fact that I authored it, and that this post is labeled "Opinion / Editorial".
I sign my work. Why don't you?

G.A. I am thrilled to see you posting your work as OpEd. But, alas, many of the readers here don't pay attention, and if they do, they probably don't know what that means! Kudos to you! (and I usually don't agree with anything you write!)For the record, I know nothing (first hand) about city issues so won't even try to comment on this post.

I cant believe she would do that with her child

Maybe it's time for SBYNews to bring all of those SAPOA misdeed stories together as a single post to remind readers of what they've done over past years.
Yeah, we could just put "SAPOA" in the search box, but we'd like some current commentary along with the postings, just to see how it all fits together.
9:04 AM
Anon 0858 -future posts as either News or Op/Ed. I had never bothered before because most of what I wrote on SbyNEWS was op/ed.
Thanks. I had actually written a comment a few days ago in response a similar criticism that I would attempt to label all
Joe has a few changes planned for SbyNEWS. They will be outlined to our over the next several months. However, in the spirit of those changes I decided to begin labeling each post I write.
Thanks again.

Glad to see this post. I was afraid that SOPOA was trying to lure Joe over to the darkside. I'm glad he saw through it. The actions of these leaches on society need to be front and center to prevent them from gaining a powerful footing in City government.

I guess that’s why all of a sudden SAPOA's eyes are square on the City of Fruitland! At a recent Fruitland City council meeting which took place on April 12, 2011 Ms. Adams, Richard Insley and his son (for real! does anyone else think that Rich Jr. is freshly off "the little yellow bus"? Him and daddy were even dress identical!" so everyone at once....AWWWWWWW)let us not forget, the king of Slum, death and LFB! Donnie Williams. Well the City of Fruitland has in its mist a proposal to set landlord fees and inspections to the slumlords of Fruitland!
Of course, one thing that struck me odd was their (SAPOA ‘s)views of the new proposal was “look at Salisbury , do you guys want the same kind of problems that the citizens of Salisbury have to deal with”?
LOL…..
LOOK OUT FRUITLAND >>>>HERE COMES SAPOA!

Ms. Adams makes Stu Leer look like a diplomat!

Fruitland already has enough problems with the students that rent from these guys. Did you know that Fruitland has an officer assigned to college student-related incidents? That's how many problems we have, and if you ask Insley to do something about his tenants, he tells you to call the police. That would be the same person that offered his business card when he first bought the property, saying to call him if you had ANY problems with the tenants next door. He only does what he has to in order to rent these places out, leaving the people who own their property to suffer. You can always tell the rentals from the trash in the yards, total lack of upkeep with the grass, bushes, etc. Apparently he's an ass to deal with as a tenant, too, from what I've been told. With SU building so much student housing, I fail to see why they can't live there, leaving the neighborhoods to families again. If you have an issue with what I've said, obviously you've not had to live by these "party houses".
