Annapolis diverts sister city funding

Annapolis Mayor Cohen Diverts Sister City Funding to Reduce Budget Deficit

Annapolis, MD (01-12-10) – As part of his continuing effort to attack the city's financial deficit, Mayor Joshua J. Cohen announced today that he is redirecting the $27,500 remaining in the Sister Cities program to the general fund for the current fiscal year.

"Now is not the time to be spending $27,500 on the Sister Cities program when we are struggling even to fund essential services," said Mayor Cohen, whose administration is focused on eliminating an estimated $6.5 million budget deficit for FY 2011.

The Mayor also is convening a group of community stakeholders to review the Sister Cities program and recommend ways to explore public/private partnerships that would provide long-term benefit to the city.

"A strategically thought-out international exchange program has the potential to add value to our economic development efforts, as well as our educational and cultural institutions within the city," Mayor Cohen said. "It is time to take the Sister Cities program out from under the umbrella of city government and make it a more community-based initiative."

Individuals who have accepted the Mayor's invitation to review the Sister Cities program and make recommendations include:

Linnell Bowen, Executive Director, Maryland Hall for the Performing Arts
Reginald Broddie, Chief Professional Officer, Boys & Girls Clubs of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County
Bob Burdon, President and CEO, Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce
Connie Del Signore, President and CEO, Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Conference & Visitors Bureau
Kevin Maxwell, Superintendent, Anne Arundel County Public Schools
Joe Rubino, Director of Governmental Affairs, U.S. Naval Academy

Annapolis first began as a Sister City in 1980, partnering with Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada. Since then, Annapolis has partnered with many other cities, including Wexford, Ireland; Dumfries, Scotland; Tallin, Estonia; Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Rochefort, France; Richmond, North Yorkshire; and Newport, Wales.

To My Darling Husband, I had a small accident with your pickup

--To My Darling Husband,

Before you return from your business trip, I just want you to know about the small accident I had with the pickup truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me.

I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pickup fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.

I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart.

I am enclosing a picture for you. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

Your loving wife.
XOXOXOXOXO

P.S. Your Girlfriend Called.

Adult Education Course Offered On Alcohol Problem

Possibly the first course like it in the State of Maryland will be offered in the Carroll County School system through the Adult Education Division. The title of this course will be "Alcohol and Adolescents."

Its subject is a comprehensive look at the drug alcohol, its effects psychologically, sociologically and physically on humans, including an understanding of the disease of alcoholism, its effects on families and communities, plus a glimpse at its treatment.

This course will be aimed at helping parents feel more comfortable with communicating with their children around the inevitable contact the children will have with alcohol.

God Bless Our Military, Published in the Northern News, January 7, 2009 by Joe Getty

God Bless Our Military, Published in the Northern News, January 7, 2009 by Joe Getty

God Bless Our Military

Published in the Northern News, January 7, 2009
By Joe Getty

In mid-December, cars entering Manchester were greeted by a large plywood sign with the bold inscription: “GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY.” Lit with Christmas lights and flanked by American flags, the sign was positioned at a “can’t miss” location in the direct sight-line as drivers reached the top of the hill on Route 30 coming from the south.

Homeowner Ray Smith erected the sign on the second floor of the Main Street home that he purchased one year ago. Over the past 12 months, he has been clearing the debris from the yard of the neglected property and restoring the interior features of the approximately 200-year-old log house.

After erecting a flag-pole in a new heart-shaped garden, Smith felt it would be a fitting tribute to incorporate the “God Bless Our Military” sign as part of his holiday decorations. “You are here and I am here today because our military is fighting for freedom – and this has included the losses of loved ones in our local communities, such as Staff Sgt. Charles I. Cartwright of Union Bridge who was killed last November in Afganistan,” Smith said in an interview this week.

Smith has been amazed by the strong support he has received from the community. “People have dropped by and knocked on my door to shake my hand and express their thanks for the sign,” Smith said. He has also received numerous business cards and notes stuck in his door in appreciation of the sign.

In response, Smith has written a letter entitled “The meaning behind the sign” that urges people to take time during the holidays to thank veterans and current personnel of the military for their work in securing our freedom. Over 135 letters have been distributed to people who have stopped by and to neighbors in the community.

“Take a stand and be part of your land – it came with a price by someone’s life,” Smith writes in his letter. “Take a moment to bow your head and give thanks this holiday season – fly your flag and know you are on America’s side.”

Smith is proud of the military heritage of his family that includes his sister, Elizabeth A. Smith, who served 15 years in the Navy along with her husband Ronald Gust. In recent years, Smith’s brother-in-law, David Crickard, served in the Army and his cousin, Michael Carty, served in the Marines.

Manchester resident Jesse Crumbie said that he greatly appreciated the sign. Driving into town one evening, he and his wife noticed the sign for the first time and he said, “That’s all right!” Their grandson, Brian Crumbie, Jr., is currently serving in Iraq with the U.S. Army and is due to come home later this month.

The posting of the sign culminated a year’s worth of work by Smith in rehabilitating the house and grounds at 3011 Main Street. His lot and the adjoining lot at the intersection north of Beaver Street were the southernmost lots in Manchester when the town was initially laid out by Richard Richards.

These lots were originally purchased from Richards in 1804 by John Coler who is listed in the deed of transfer as a blacksmith. It is likely that Coler constructed the log house between 1804 and 1809 (the year when Coler died) and established a blacksmith shop at this location.

Smith has not found any remnants of the blacksmith shop but, while working on the new landscaping around the house, Smith has found military items including a button from a Civil War coat and a rifle bayonet.

In expressing his pride over the renovation of the house and the patriotism of his sign, Smith concluded, “I never in 100 years would have realized that people would be stopping by and supporting my sign – it means so much to those with family in the military.”

Ray Smith stands by the flagpole at his Main Street home that features the holiday sign "God Bless Our Military."

25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1924

Democratic Advocate, January 11, 1924: 25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1924 http://tinyurl.com/yabwqj3

25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1923—During the year 1923 the clerk of the Circuit Court for Carroll County issued 389 marriage licenses, and during the same period there were 25 divorces passed and granted; a small fraction over six per cent of the marriage licenses issued turned out in divorce; not so bad for Carroll county, comparing it with Baltimore city, where the percentage of divorces is about 25 per cent of all marriages granted are divorced.
