Frederick County Commissioners define their priorities by Meg Tully @ The Frederick News-Post


Frederick County Commissioners define their priorities

The new Frederick County Commissioners identified their top priorities this week, including reducing the county's unemployment rate and creating a consistent land-use process for businesses.


Commissioners met with division directors during a two-day retreat at Pinecliff Park to identify goals and craft a strategic plan for their four-year terms.


The five-member board is led by Commissioners President Blaine Young. All are Republicans. Four out of the five ran together as a slate.


They worked with the county's top leaders to ensure there was buy-in and consensus on the ideas, Young said.


Priorities will include job growth, predictability for business, public safety, traffic, agricultural preservation/land use, and privatization and sharing of government services.


The only priority commissioners added to the group-generated list was to look into more privatization and sharing services among government agencies.


After developing their priorities, they broke into groups to discuss specific goals.
Some ideas included supporting ....  http://www.wtop.com/?nid=25&sid=2197048

What’s wrong with this picture - Frederick County MD Commissioners' expense accounts will go to nonprofits

Frederick News-Post: Commissioners should reach into own pockets Originally published in the Frederick News-Post July 08, 2010

http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/opinion/display_editorial.htm?StoryID=107050&section=ed

Three of the Frederick County Commissioners recently donated $3,547 to several local charities. Normally, we'd be more excited about the generous gesture, but there is one slight problem: It wasn't their money, it was yours.

In case you missed it, Commissioners Kai Hagen and David Gray and Commissioners President Jan Gardner took unspent money from their taxpayer-funded expense accounts and then donated it to charities of their choice last week.

We're not arguing the local charities that made out in this deal aren't needy, and $3,547 certainly isn't going to break the bank… http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/opinion/display_editorial.htm?StoryID=107050&section=ed

Meg Tully: Frederick County MD Commissioners' expense accounts will go to nonprofits

Originally published in the Frederick News-Post July 02, 2010 By Meg Tully News-Post Staff

Three Frederick County Commissioners are using their expense accounts to partially offset cuts the commissioners board made to local charities earlier this year.

But one commissioner is raising objections that it's an inappropriate use of the funds.

"It infuriated me," said Commissioner Blaine Young. "I think that every nonprofit that the individuals wanted to give money to was worthy, but they needed to reach in their pocket and not the taxpayers' pocket."

The $3,500 accounts are intended to reimburse for costs such as mileage and supplies incurred by the commissioners in the performance of their duties. The commissioners president has a slightly larger account of $4,000.

Commissioners Kai Hagen and David Gray and Commissioners President Jan Gardner asked Tuesday that leftover money from their accounts be given to nonprofit organizations whose county funding was cut this year…

Frederick County Commissioners candidates Caroline Eader and Adam Avery have been disqualified from the race.

In an e-mail Thursday, Frederick County Board of Elections Director Stuart Harvey said they were disqualified because they did not meet the residency requirements. Specifically, they registered to vote in Frederick County after May 2.

Eader, a Democrat, said she will look into the appeals process. Harvey said Eader had been informed that if she would like to appeal, she should look to the courts.

Delegate candidate claims model home as legal residence

Originally published July 09, 2010 By Meg Tully News-Post Staff

http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=107124

State delegate candidate Scott Rolle is registered to vote at a house being used as a model home.

Rolle, a Republican, is living in an apartment temporarily while the new house is being finished, he said.

In order to qualify as a candidate for state delegate, Rolle must be a resident of the district he seeks to represent for six months prior to the election. The apartment is located outside District 3A, the seat he is running for.

Rolle, a former Frederick County state's attorney, said he thinks the model home on West Greenleaf Drive in Whittier qualifies as his legal residence, and he considers the house and not the apartment his primary residence, even though he doesn't live in the house… http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=107124

Cliff Cumber, Bryan Sears, Meg Tully, and Carl Jung


January 5, 2010 by Kant BeTrue

Cliff Cumber recently said: “wonders at the universe and the new possibilities it throws up with seemingly effortless synchronicity.”

Sounds Jungian as in Carl Gustav Jung….

Over the many years of time travel, Mr. Cumber has been greatly influenced by Jungian concepts of synchronicity.

To understand why that is, one needs to go as far back in history as 1967.

It was in that year that Mr. Cumber and Dr. Jung first met quite accidently on March 30, 1967 at a photo shoot when they both appeared together on the cover of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album which was later released June 1, 1967.

Mr. Cumber may be found to the right of Edgar Allen Poe. Dr. Jung appears to the left of Mr. Poe.

Of course the odd thing about their happenstance meeting was Dr. Jung had died six years earlier on June 6, 1961. Perhaps it’s a “synchronicity” thing?

It was after the photo shoot that Mr. Cumber and Dr. Jung first discussed synchronicity at great length.

The Jungian theory of synchronicity had been introduced to Mr. Cumber by Sting in December 1982 when “The Police” were recording its last alum, appropriately titled, “Synchronicity,” which was released on June 1, 1983.

Once again the apparent non-linear chronology, so essential to the theory of synchronicity is probability the explanation for why Sting and Mr. Cumber discussed synchronicity in 1982; which precipitated Mr. Cumber to explore the theory with Dr. Jung in 1967, six years after he had died.

I hope that you are still following along carefully. If you are having some difficulty, it is suggested that you speak with Bryan Sears.

Why Mr. Sears, you ask? Well Mr. Sears was with Mr. Cumber at the March 30, 1967 photo shoot for the album cover of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

As a matter of fact, Mr. Sears is also pictured on the top row. He is the fourth person to the right of Mr. Cumber between the Vargas Girl and the actor Huntz Hall. And yes, that is Bob Dylan at the end of the row to the right of Mr. Sears.

And yes that is also Frederick New-Post reporter Meg Tully on the top row, the fifth person to the left of Mr. Cumber.

As it happens, Mr. Cumber and Ms. Tully were with the backup singers in the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” and that explains how they were invited to be on the album cover.

No one knows why Mr. Sears was there, but it has been said of Mr. Sears, he’s everywhere, he’s everywhere.

According to Paul Levy, who wrote an essay, “Catching the Bug of Synchronicity,” about Jungian synchronicity in the web publication Reality Sandwich:

“Synchronicities are those moments of "meaningful coincidence" when the boundary dissolves between the inner and the outer. At the synchronistic moment, just like a dream, our internal, subjective state appears, as if materialized in, as and through the outside world.

“Touching the heart of our being, synchronicities are moments in time in which there is a fissure in the fabric of what we have taken for reality and there is a bleed through from a higher dimension outside of time.

“Synchronicities are expressions of the dreamlike nature of reality, as they are moments in time when the timeless, dreamlike nature of the universe shines forth its radiance and openly reveals itself to us, offering us an open doorway to lucidity.”

Now that you have this additional background, one may only be sure that the purpose of life is to discuss synchronicities and its relationship with fragmentary patchworks of autochthonous and foreign elements as juxtaposed by the undeniable command mortality of insignificant self-inflicted syntactic semiotic economics which sometimes may cause irreproducible results unless there is a pre-emptive digital fallibility matrix which would require an integrated third-generational triangulated refinement of indefinite managerial potential.

Thank you for your non-linear time. Have a nice day before yesterday and beyond. Playing the drums and chanting is optional.

HAGERSTOWN -- Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin slogged his way through a town hall meeting centered on health care Wednesday afternoon, as a boisterous crowd shouted back, clapped and interrupted him.

Frederick residents turned out for the chance to make opinions known at the town hall, hosted at nearby Hagerstown Community College.

Nationally, town hall meetings on health care have been drawing headlines because of the large crowds and heated debates.

"I am here today because I believe in town hall meetings," Cardin told the group. "I believe in your right to ask your questions."

Speaking to the media before the event, however, he objected to people disrupting such meetings.

"I just ask people to be respectful," he said. "People have strong views about health care. They want to get information, and town hall meetings allow them to get information."

House Republican Whip Cantor speaks at Frederick Dinner by Meg Tully


I attended this dinner with six of my “The Tentacle” colleagues and this was a super event. Ms. Tully has done a great job of capturing it in print. I will post pictures later…

U S House Republican Whip: 'This country needs us' Originally published in the Frederick News-Post April 30, 2009 By Meg Tully News-Post Staff

U.S. House Republican Whip Eric Cantor urged Frederick Republicans to go forward as party leaders and focus on winning the midterm election in 2010.

"This country needs us as a check and a balance on the complete reign of power that is going on in Washington right now," Cantor said.

The Virginia representative spoke to about 240 people gathered for the annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner at Dutch's Daughter restaurant Wednesday night. The dinner is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the
Frederick County Republican Central Committee.

Speaking about an hour before President Barack Obama held his own news conference in Washington, Cantor called several policies being enacted as divergent from Republican values, including the budget conference report adopted earlier in the day.

Calling the economy the top issue facing the nation, Cantor said Democrats think expanding the government will solve the country's woes.

"We've got our president deciding who to hire and who to fire as CEO of an auto company," Cantor said. "Now where has this country gone if this is where we are?"

[…]

Frederick County Republican Central Committee chairwoman Kelly Schulz was encouraged by Cantor's message.

[…]

Delegate Paul Stull was given the organization's first Lifetime Achievement Award for his work as a member of the central committee and then in the House of Delegates.

Frederick Co Commissioners suspend incinerator bids


Meg Tully, Frederick News-Post: Frederick Co Commissioners suspend incinerator bids…

April 29, 2009

Frederick Co Commissioners suspend incinerator bids; will explore other options. Carroll Commissioners to discuss options Thursday morning.

From: Commissioners suspend incinerator plans Originally published April 29, 2009 By Meg Tully News-Post Staff:

The
Frederick County Commissioners are suspending deliberations on a proposed trash incinerator, and will focus instead on alternative disposal options.

The commissioners accepted bids on the project earlier this year, and appeared to have narrowed those down to a preferred site and contractor to build and run the incinerator.

But they voted 4-1 on Tuesday to suspend that process. Commissioner John L. Thompson Jr. voted against the motion.

Also known as waste-to-energy, the trash incinerator was intended to be a cheaper, long-term answer to the county's shrinking landfill space.

[…]

Commissioner Kai Hagen, an outspoken opponent of the incinerator, said he was willing to explore using a waste-to-energy plant outside the county, if it meant the commissioners would suspend the bid process for a
Frederick plant.

But he said that he believes other options, including increased recycling, composting and waste reduction efforts, are the best solutions.

Ay caramba.

Excerpted from: April 16, 2008 How to Make Trash Go Away Kevin E. Dayhoff
Tomorrow the Carroll County Board of Commissioners will deliberate in open session and – hopefully – make a decision regarding the offer from Frederick County to join forces to make 1,100 tons of trash a day go away.

Bear in mind, a further review of my files indicates that this is my fourth go-round regarding what to do with trash in Carroll County in 41 years – going back to 1967.

It was a few short years after the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 that trash really hit the fan in Carroll County.

It has not been a pretty picture ever since. It was back in those days that the county began to take over or close a number of unpermitted de-facto landfills – and then proceed to open more.

Waste-to-energy was rejected once in 1984 and twice in the mid-1990s. Co-composting failed to get the nod in the late 1990s.

Since 1965, every landfill, except one, in which Carroll County has had some degree of participation remains to this day under consent decrees with the Maryland Department of the Environment for the necessary mitigation of environmental hazards. Currently there is no apparent relief on the horizon for the costs to the environment or the financial costs to landfilling.

Back in the first go-round in the 1972 time frame, many of us have felt that the best management approach to solid waste was source reduction and recycling.

It would take 18 long years to get the Maryland Recycling Act passed in 1988. That legislation required a recycling rate of 20 percent.
