At 4:40 p.m. Sunday, Sgt. Antoine Smith put his police lights on, blared his siren and drove quickly to Owings Mills on a hit-and-run call.
"Two black males hit a car and got out and ran," he said. "They probably stole the car and hit somebody."
As he communicated with Baltimore County Police by radio, he canvassed wooded areas behind apartment buildings and around the Owings Mills Mall. He even checked a large recycling container, with his gun drawn, in case the fugitives were hiding in there.

In another example, on April 27, 1927, an emergency bill was passed in the Maryland General Assembly that authorized

This leads me to a reader’s question from some time ago: why there are so many sharp curves on old county roads. The answer is that the roads went in between and around property lines. In days gone-by, agricultural fields and property rights were far more important than straightening out roads and using eminent domain was totally out of the question.
This brings to mind a question poised by a number of folks in the last several months: has
The short answer is no – never. Eminent domain is a “four letter word” in
In days gone by, our county population was considerably smaller and we were a close-knit community; therefore government was always able to come to mutually agreeable terms when it came to projects involving the good of the greater community.
The long answer is that a number of years ago - in the only example of eminent domain even being discussed was a convoluted road right-of-way dispute in the southern part of the county. A solution was eventually found in which eminent domain was ultimately not used.
Recently, the term, eminent domain, has been used rather recklessly by folks that are obviously not aware of our history and traditions.
Which brings us to the anniversary of another reason eminent domain is so unpopular in

Okay, now that we have got that little bit of unpleasant history behind us; last week’s Sunday Carroll Eagle history trivia question must have been much harder than I anticipated. I asked: “What American president made a whistle-stop appearance in
It was President Theodore Roosevelt. Only one person got it right. The person who got it right must be hiding in an undisclosed location with Vice-President Dick Cheney as they only identified themselves as “PATMD1950.” Another day – another mystery.
For this week's Sunday Carroll Eagle trivia question for the famed coffee mug, let’s try Civil War history. Who was the legendary Confederate cavalry commander, who was delayed on his way to the Battle of Gettysburg by “Corbit’s Charge,” as his unit came through
Think you know? Drop me a line at kdayhoff@carr.org, and I might just pull your name for the incredible coffee mug. And please put Sunday Carroll Eagle in the subject line. Thanks.
