(Hopefully 2010 will bring an end to our national nightmare...)

Vote Nov 6, 2001 for Joe Baldi, Frederick City Alderman

I was going through some old papers earlier today and came across this ad for Joe Baldi from November 1, 2001. It was posted on my blog here: http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2001/11/vote-nov-6-2001-for-joe-baldi-frederick.html

Since I was in Frederick last night and had dinner at Isabella’s - http://www.isabellas-tavern.com/ - and had a wonderful visit, I thought I would post it in tribute to one of the several folks who had a hand in making Frederick what it is today.

All too often, we quickly forget the work of the folks who have gone before us:

Vote Nov 6, 2001 for Joe Baldi, Frederick City Alderman

Vote Nov 6, 2001 for Joe Baldi, Frederick City Alderman: “Good People making Good Things Happen”

[20011101 Vote Joe Baldi Nov 6 2001]

The Taxing Dilemma of 2010
Kevin E. Dayhoff
As we ponder the past year and look forward to 2010 with great trepidation, so far there has been little mentioned about what Congress will do with the temporary tax cuts enacted during the administration of George W. Bush that are scheduled to expire at the end of the coming year?

Why So Much Anger?
Roy Meachum
His name does not come to mind, nor his party; a man observed the anger on today’s Capitol Hill is greater than the Civil War run-up when congressmen beat and struck each other. In at least one case, a legislator was “called out,” invited to duel for words said on the floor.

A Man of Integrity – or Not…
Farrell Keough
While this should be a time of writing about family traditions or various ideas for the New Year, another pressing issue has arisen that requires our immediate attention. Del. Rick Weldon, (3B) has announced he will not complete his term, hence a replacement must be chosen by the Frederick and Washington County Republican Central Committees.

Monday, December 28, 2009
Midnight Voting
Richard B. Weldon Jr.
The United States Senate, arguably one of the most revered and venerated deliberative bodies in the world, is holding midnight voting sessions on a bill that will impact a major share of the national economy.

What’s In and What’s Out – 2010 Edition
Steven R. Berryman
It is my distinct honor and pleasure to pass judgments for you once again on changes, transitions, and trends spanning this New Years period. So, after some not-so-insignificant pondering:

While The Cat’s Away…
Michael Kurtianyk
In case you missed it, there is an empty seat in the House of Delegates. Yes! Now former Del. Rick Weldon, who represented his constituents (southern Frederick and Washington Counties), has accepted the role as City of Frederick’s chief administrative officer. So, the Frederick and Washington County Republican Central Committees must choose from the top three candidates put forth by a nominating committee…

“… I view Katie Nash as the best candidate. She knows the issues and what is important to the county. She was impressive on Pressing Issues as a fellow panelist… She will bring a fresh perspective and a much-needed boost of energy to her constituents…” (I could not agree more – Kevin Dayhoff) http://thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3531

Frederick Children
Roy Meachum
These observations appeared in my Frederick News-Post column the December sleigh bells-bedecked horses pulled wagons through downtown streets; a spectacle that had disappeared several decades before. It was also the season when my column first appeared.

Christmas Again…
Patricia A. Kelly
It comes every year, whether we’re ready or not. We rush around, decorating, buying gifts, partying, bulging and dazed from excessive eating and drinking. We whine to each other about how tired we are, at least women do. What’s up?

“I wonder as I wander…”
Tony Soltero
It's Christmas Eve. I'm not in a particularly political mood today. So let me just state, very quickly, that this health-care reform bill is better than nothing, but it's pretty weak tea, and doesn't do a thing to establish any competition for the private insurance industry, which is the root of the problem with our health-care system.

The Lottery – Congressional Style
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Monday was the darkest day of the year and that’s not just because the ignoramus, cataclysmic, health care reform bill in Congress passed another procedural test just minutes after 1 A.M. in the U.S. Senate by a vote of 60 Democrats to 40 Republicans.

Tom Takes a Wife – Part 2
Tom McLaughlin
Kuching, Malaysia – A beautiful woman sleeping next to me! I had to pinch myself to make sure this was real. Yes, this incredible sensitive being was my wife in a slumber reminiscent of an angel minus the wings. Or maybe she had them stored some place in a closet.

Mice in My Kitchen
Roy Meachum
Pushkin and I live in an about 250-year-old house; built entirely of logs down to its foundation, walkers-by can’t see that. The front on North Market Street was added in the early 19th century, sometime before pocket doors were invented. The older part was then covered with bricks to match the new addition.

And with good reason …. Part 2
Nick Diaz
In my last column, I confessed of being one of those radical Cuban exiles who strongly oppose the resumption of trade with the repressive regime that has enslaved my native land for well over half a century. Those well-meaning people who continue to chant the left-wing mantra that “the embargo has not worked” are the same ones who continue to be laughed at by the Castro brothers and their minions, in Roadrunner “Beep-beep” fashion.

Citizens For Walkersville – Postscript
Steven R. Berryman

With little fanfare or media coverage, last Friday around noon, the last chapter of the “Citizens for Walkersville” saga ended with the sale of the old Nicodemus Farm to the Town of Walkersville.

Another Tangled Web...
Michael Kurtianyk
This is, in a word, sad. Why is it that the Board of County Commissioners continues to create an adversarial relationship with the municipalities? It’s ridiculous that dealings have become so strained that the only way to communicate with our county leaders is through lawsuits?

Congratulations to soon-to-be former Delegate Rick Weldon for accepting the role as the City of Frederick’s chief administrative officer. … but it seems like a sort of homecoming for him, as he worked in City Hall during the Jim Grimes administration. This is a great move for everyone. (Congratulations to Delegate Weldon – he will do a great job for Frederick. – Kevin Dayhoff)

Where did all the snow go?

Welcome to Maryland weather. It was only a week ago when we were toughing it out under almost two feet of snow.

All last week, news accounts trickled-in from throughout the state of various local governments having a tough time clearing the snow for Christmas week.

Not so in Westminster. On Sunday, December 20, 2009, Uniontown Road in Westminster was already a bare road less than 12 hours after the snow stopped; thanks to the great work of the Westminster MD Street Department.

And our front sidewalk has been cleared thanks to our new neighbors across the street.

Yes, we have every older person’s dream come true – a nice very young couple has moved-in just across the street.

As the New Year approaches and we look back upon local history, we're reminded that the good old days weren't always that good, and the more things change, the more they remain the same:

A Dec. 30, 1971, article in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate noted that, "Unknown burglars broke into the J.C. Penny department store over the weekend, ransacked the offices, and stole a $1.59 flashlight from the basement work table, the Westminster city police reported.
