We are truly blessed as a community that he has chosen our stories to document. Phil has an amazing ability to find the extraordinary in everyday life - and this show, a retrospective of forty-four years of his work, will leave you awestruck.”

It’s going to be ugly

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4161

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Today is the first day of the 428^th legislative session of the Maryland General Assembly and, as in past years, the main question on the minds of the leadership of this august body’s deliberations will be, “Welcome to Maryland, what’s in your wallet?”

From Tragedy Comes The Blame Game

Amanda Haddaway

In what seemed like mere minutes after the Arizona shooting tragedy, the mainstream media began pointing fingers and conjecturing about why Jared Loughner came armed with the intent to kill Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords at a “Congress on your Corner” event last Saturday in Tucson.

Another River Adventure

Tom McLaughlin

Seri Aman, Malaysian Borneo – I am just getting around to writing about one of the towns we visited before the birth of my son Dzul. We were on our way to Brunei on the only road north in Borneo when he suddenly decided to greet the world a month early a few towns later. See previous columns about that adventure (http://www.thetentacle.com/author.cfm?MyAuthor=34).

Invective Takes Toll

Roy Meachum

The furious ranting cited in Friday’s column (“Less Perfect Union,” January 7, 2011) claimed blood Saturday in the savage wounding of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The state’s highest ranking federal judge, John Roll, and five others were killed.

Diagram of The Road Less Traveled

Farrell Keough

Where do we go next? That really is the issue with both the TEA Party and the seeming shift in the Republican Party.

A Political Journey – Part Two

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

Last week, we examined the first phase of a political journey from small town administration to the state capital. Left unanswered was the question of design and intent.

Reading Kai Hagen's Tea Leaves

Earl 'Rocky' Mackintosh

Well, if you haven't noticed already, former Commissioner Kai Hagen is on the campaign trail; not sure that he ever really stopped campaigning after his sixth place showing in last November's Frederick Board of County Commissioners' race.

Things Overheard

Michael Kurtianyk

Much speculation has centered on who will replace Rick Weldon as the City of Frederick’s executive assistance to Mayor Randy McClement.

Friday, January 7, 2011

Less Perfect Union

Roy Meachum

Never in American history have voters been as furious as they were in the last two national elections; if anything, Frederick County citizens in the November races were even more ticked off.

What to do with the Hargett Farm?

Joe Charlebois

The use of Hargett Farm property off Butterfly Lane is the subject of a survey put out by the City of Frederick for both residents and others who have an interest in the city’s business.

Thursday, January 6, 2011

The News Tells All

Patricia A. Kelly

There’s a recession going on. As the year 2011 begins, individuals and governments continue to feel serious financial pressure.

And Away We Go…

Chris Cavey

A mandatory task for political pundits and alleged soothsayers of the realm is to make predictions of the future regarding Maryland’s political path. So, once again, I have spread my linen and cast the grains to predict the unknowns of Maryland’s political scene.

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

The Fall of The House O’Malley Built?

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Now that the hangover from last November’s Maryland General Election is becoming a memory, and Marylanders have begun to put away the Christmas lights and joined a local gym to shed those holiday pounds, many are beginning to set their sights on January 12, the beginning of the 2011 session of the Maryland General Assembly.

The End and A Beginning

Norman M. Covert

How could one not enjoy the traditions of Christmas in Frederick? Music and arts festivities highlight the joyous period, but it ends tomorrow night, Jan. 6, 2011, at historic Steiner House on West Patrick Street, where the Frederick Women’s Civics Club celebrates Twelfth Night (Old Christmas or Epiphany if you will) and crowns its three kings of Mardi Gras.

Tuesday, January 4, 2011

Honored Dead

Roy Meachum

There are no tears left. For young men needlessly slaughtered in Iraq and Afghanistan, the tears are all exhausted. My sorrow deepened with the invasion to take Baghdad, as I wrote. The military-industrial complex, today’s gods of war, had their way.

What would you change?

Farrell Keough

It is a New Year and time for new ideas to move forward. In that vein, I contacted a number of people throughout the community and gave them one question: "If you could 'magically' change one thing at the local level of our government, what would it be?"

Monday, January 3, 2011

A Political Journey – Part One

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

There’s no other way to tell this story than to be brutally honest. This is a primer on how to achieve a position of power, influence and privilege. The fable is followed by a dire warning and a prediction, so you’ve got to stick it out to the final curtain.

What’s In Store?

Shawn Burns

The year in review reads pretty much the same as it did in years past. People died, wars were fought, and politicians argued and lied to voters…

Why Charter Government!

Michael Kurtianyk

The time has come for us to move forward with changing our form of government. The Board of County Commissioners should be congratulated for moving forward with putting this item, not only on the agenda, but following legal counsel’s advice on how to proceed.

One of the many enigmas hovering over the upcoming session is the perception that this session will be a ho-hum gathering of lawmakers, filled with low expectations and high anxiety.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. Many tend to agree with the assessment offered by State Senator-elect Joe Getty (R., Carroll-Baltimore). At a legislative breakfast last Thursday, Mr. Getty summed up his analysis of the upcoming session with one word: It will be “ugly.” … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4161

Carroll County MD Public Schools to close one-hour early today shar.es/XFTJo

Carroll County Public Schools to close one-hour early today

By Kevin Dayhoff shar.es/XFTJo

Posted 1/11/11 Kevin Dayhoff Explore Carroll: Carroll County Public Schools to close one-hour early today http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5065/carroll-county-public-schools-close-one-hour-early-today/

Carroll County Public Schools announced at 10:20 this morning that it will close Carroll County schools one-hour early today. All afternoon and evening activities are canceled and there will be no afternoon Pre-K because of expected inclement weather later this afternoon in the Carroll County area.

Various weather reports indicate that the Carroll County area could possibly see an accumulation of three to five inches beginning jst around the time folks will start heading home from work.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a “Winter Weather Advisory” for the Carroll, Frederick, Howard, Baltimore County area. According to the NWS, “Low pressure off the Carolina coast will strengthen and quickly move northward up the Eastern Seaboard. The wintry mix of precipitation associated with this storm will continue to progress northward along the East Coast…”

According to weatherbug.com, later this evening two major storm systems will combine “to form a classic coastal storm” along the east coast. “An area of low pressure, the same one responsible for heavy snow and freezing rain across the Southeast, has pushed off the

Georgia

coast, and is starting to march northeastward toward the North Carolina Outer Banks. Meanwhile, a second area of low pressure is chugging eastward through the Ohio Valley, bringing along another plume of snow from the Mid-Mississippi Valley to the Midwest.”

Frank Roylance, who writes about “Maryland Weather” in the Baltimore Sun notes, “NWS forecasters expect temperatures to hold in the lower 30s, so the event is likely to remain all-snow….

“Central and Southern Maryland should expect 3 to 5 inches of snow tonight, with the heaviest amounts close to the Chesapeake Bay, falling off to the west and south.”

Emergencyemail.org reports that a winter storm watch now in effect from Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night with the potential for five or more inches of snow.

The snow is predicted to develop during the late afternoon or early evening on Tuesday and continue through Tuesday night with temperatures in the lower 30s and dip to the 20s Tuesday night and northwest winds five to 10 mph increasing to 10 to 15 mph later in the evening.

A winter storm watch, according to emergencyemail.com, means “there is a potential for significant snow accumulations that may impact travel.”

The weather predictions of snow in the Carroll County area come on the heels of last Saturday morning’s light dusting of snow that triggered the snow emergency plan for the Carroll County area for several hours in the morning, but for the most part, only amounted to being a nuisance.

According to a Westminster street department employee, the road crews for Westminster city reported for work around 4 a.m. and easily got the light dusting under control.

At approximately 9 o’clock Saturday morning, the main roads at the intersection of Liberty and Main Street at the railroad tracks made for a picturesque winter-in-Westminster scene, but otherwise, the streets were in good shape for driving.

Firefighters battle fire and ice in two-alarm Westminster blaze

Units across county help in fighting house fire

By Kevin Dayhoff

Posted 1/09/11 http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5063/firefighters-battle-fire-ice-two-alarm-westminster-blaze/

Area firefighters had their hands full Saturday afternoon as they battled the winter weather and lack of water at a two-alarm blaze north of Westminster.

The fire was called in to the Carroll County emergency operations center at 1:30 p.m. When units from the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 arrived at 1:42 p.m., the two-story 3,500-square-foot house in the 1000 block of Phyllis’s Reward Drive, just north of Westminster, showed heavy black smoke, according to Bob Cumberland, Westminster Fire Department president and public information officer.

Shortly after arriving on the scene, incident commander Lt. Josh Evans requested a tanker task force and Rapid Intervention Dispatch to battle.

A second alarm was sounded. The rural location of the home, outside of available hydrants, presented firefighters with constant water supply issues.

The freezing cold, light snow on the ground, along with the water being used on the fire freezing on the ground, made matters worse.

The Carroll County roads crews assisted by salting the ground to help with the ice. Nearby neighbors, Dale and Teresa Fletcher, opened their home – and their garage -- for firefighters to set up a relief station for the 80 to 100 firefighters from three counties to periodically take refuge in shifts.

More than 40 pieces from every fire station in Carroll, except Harney, fought the blaze. Harney provided back-up services, while units from Baltimore County and York and Adams counties, Pa., also assisted... http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5063/firefighters-battle-fire-ice-two-alarm-westminster-blaze/
