http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/archives/results.htm?query=Berryman That April Fools' column | sBerryman | By: | 04/08/11 | 522 words So I gave it a shot by writing something plausible but absurd upon any reasonable evaluation. | ||
High-tech Frederick | sBerryman | By: | 04/01/11 | 513 words It looks like developers in favor of an event complex hotel and convention center got caught napping on this one, as the third-largest population concentration in Maryland has been selected as a local broadcast and development center over many cities our size regionally. | ||
American War 3 | sBerryman | By: | 03/25/11 | 530 words Yes, the new conflict in Libya to free up freedom fighters to earn their democracy is now on. Is it a police action, a conflict, an armed intervention or what? Whatever you call it, it obligates our nation to a third war involving majority U.S. of A. military men and women. | ||
Real nuclear danger | sBerryman | By: | 03/18/11 | 523 words Action on this quake-tsunami-atomic energy story is so fast-breaking that one almost needs a media plan just to keep up, and I know that by the time this column hits the newsstands Friday, conditions may have changed to anywhere from calmed down to catastrophic. | ||
Revisiting 9/11 | sBerryman | By: | 03/11/11 | 523 words "They" wanted us out of the Middle East. The sentence I want to put here is not politically correct for these times, so I omitted it. | ||
Attention span | sBerryman | By: | 02/25/11 | 518 words Of course, "attention-deficit disorder" was only acknowledged by the medical community late in the game. These days the condition is a double-edged sword. Multi-tasking does require switching focus onto wildly different items of concentration without notice, and ADD can afford an advantage! | ||
Is this 'discrimination'? | sBerryman | By: | 02/18/11 | 539 words Discrimination has various meanings; we all know that race and color distinctions are "illegal" as a basis on which to discriminate in America. | ||
My trust in guns | sBerryman | By: | 01/28/11 | 573 words That we have politicized guns was inevitable, as our Founding Fathers deemed it necessary to write them into our Second Amendment to the Constitution, just after your freedom of speech! | ||

Lampooning the predictions 2011 | sBerryman | By: | 01/14/11 | 576 words Being the first to know is not always an advantage to the receiver, but this may afford me some future bragging rights! | ||
What's in & out 2011 | sBerryman | By: | 12/31/10 | 558 words Let's go with transitions and changes instead. Some are pretty clear; others are more fuzzy! | ||
Lotto Christmas | sBerryman | By: | 12/24/10 | 567 words We learn and are taught that money isn't everything, but somehow this time of year that concept can stand out a bit. It "can't buy you love" and won't solve all of your problems, but when you don't have enough of it, the expectations can suffer. | ||
Thanks! | Letter to Editor | By: | 12/24/10 | 310 words There are so many hardworking people to thank for making this fundraiser a success. Doug Hillard, general manager of WFMD; Frank Mitchell, program director; and the entire staff of WFMD, who suspended business as usual; Phyliss Betson; Majors Raymond and Crystal Pruitt of the Salvation Army; PNC Bank; Debbie Williams and the Patty Pollatos Foundation. | ||

Interconnectedness | sBerryman | By: | 11/12/10 | 559 words I will adopt his jumping-off point as my own here, having been personally warned during a conference long ago, led by prognosticating writer John Naisbitt, peddling his book "Megatrends" at the time. |
Teens | sBerryman | By: | 11/05/10 | 464 words They pretend that they're not listening; who do they think they're kidding! |
Positive business practices | sBerryman | By: | 10/29/10 | 566 words My business career began in earnest in the early 1980s, when bookstores overflowed with titles such as "In Search of Excellence," "Megatrends," the "One Minute Manager" series and others offering firsthand experience from experts on best business practices for success in management. |
Getting political | sBerryman | By: | 10/22/10 | 562 words Vote your conscience, and not a party -- the temptation perhaps due to time deprivation -- in the general election. If you have been too out of touch with political happenings, simply scratching for the almighty dollar, don't feel alone; simply look at our low turnout during primaries. |
In the shadow of 9/11 | bkissin | By: | 10/16/10 | 640 words In this climate of fear, we distrust our government, but we continue to cling to a faith in our national security complex. Somehow, our firepower will protect us. This irrational faith and our fears have been grossly manipulated. |
Job insurance mode | sBerryman | By: | 10/15/10 | 561 words There is, however, known strategy for maintaining the ability to ensure that your performance remains worthy of job continuity. |
Job exploration mode | sBerryman | By: | 10/08/10 | 565 words You are decidedly not in the minority these days! |
Identity with tea | sBerryman | By: | 10/01/10 | 570 words Personally, the tea party experience brought me back to GOP party politics. I started paying close attention to our local scene by attending the monthly Frederick County Republican Central Committee (FCRCC) meetings, getting to know the members and how they operated. |
Changing | sBerryman | By: | 09/17/10 | 564 words Those who adopted the new, made adjustments, and embraced the changes survived long enough to bring us along to what we call the modern world -- for better or for worse. Yep, we got some of each! |
Glenn Beck theocracy? | sBerryman | By: | 09/03/10 | 570 words Each event claimed to be closer to God, but the two did not merge spiritually; they served as props for Al Sharpton's and Glenn Beck's respective searches for a wider audience. |
The 'new normal' | sBerryman | By: | 08/27/10 | 558 words Well, with the notable exception of the U.S. Constitution, at least as far as directions go. |
The Muslim encroachment | Letter to Editor | By: | 08/22/10 | 767 words Let's get definitions straight: Islam is a religion that translates into "submission to God;" Muslims are people who believe in Islam. The genetic connection between Islam and Christianity/Judaism traces back to Abraham in the Old Testament. Muslims believe in God and share many of same basic beliefs of Jews and Christians. |
Scrutiny, and justice, invited | Letter to Editor | By: | 08/19/10 | 282 words However I don't understand the point he's trying to make. Is he saying that there is a huge possibility that the Cordoba House, now infamously known as Park 51, could actually be exactly what the opposition fears it is masking or ridiculing? And that a mistake was made in denying the AMC construction of a mosque which in reality was to be just a convention center? |
The appearance of impropriety | dKornreich | By: | 07/25/10 | 559 words Apparently, based on an agreement among Commissioners Kai Hagen and David Gray and board President Jan Gardner, the three took unspent money from their individual taxpayer-funded expense accounts and directed the transfer of those moneys to the charities. |
Facebook fables | sBerryman | By: | 06/11/10 | 572 words Yes, detractors will consider it sophomoric if they have never explored it; but then, my nana decided that learning to drive was not important, and my mother decided that e-mail was for other people. Dad prints them out for her. |
FNP needs new conservative writers | Letter to Editor | By: | 06/09/10 | 203 words Can't the editors of this paper find conservative writers who will write about conservative issues that are more rational, clearer and appealing instead of the manner in which these two throw unfortunate words and names around that can only cause real conservatives to run into hiding and have to explain to their liberal brothers that "That's not what conservatives believe or accept in those characterizations." |
Unlikely duo of Gutierrez, Daar reaches doubles semifinals | Sports | By: John Cannon | 05/15/10 | 461 words For starters, Daar had to actually start playing tennis. Last spring, he played for TJ's JV baseball team. |
The MIC monster | bkissin | By: | 05/15/10 | 527 words You say you want smaller government and less government spending. The Department of Defense dwarfs the size of any other government department. Military-related spending now rounds off to about $1 trillion per year. Do you have any idea how much money that is? The population of Frederick County is about .00075 of the population of the U.S. Assuming we pay out about the per capita average in federal taxes, Frederick County residents now cover about $750 million per year in military-related expenditures.-- |

DoE/AEC connection | Letter to Editor | By: | 05/06/10 | 186 words I was with him as he lambasted the excesses of the Department of Energy and then I realized he was wrong on one important point. It is not through "job creep" that the DoE is the keeper of the nation's nuclear weapons. Contrary to what Berryman writes, the Atomic Energy Commission was not just chartered to pursue the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. It was the direct successor of the Manhattan Project that had given birth to atomic weapons. |

Ask the Editor — Civil online dialogue can be elusive | Front Page | By: John Bechtel | 04/24/10 | 562 words In terms of sheer numbers, it appears to be successful.

Ask miners about heavy regulation | Letter to Editor | By: | 04/12/10 | 92 words It seems pretty apparent that the lucrative metallurgical coal business that Massey engaged in (see page B-6 of the same edition) didn't seem hampered by those regulations. They just bought their way out of it. Or was that the point? |
Don't begin a political discussion by lighting a powder keg | Letter to Editor | By: | 04/11/10 | 428 words He starts by stating that the amnesty being granted to illegal immigrants subverts the provisions of the newly enacted health care reform bill ("Obamacare," as he calls it). But there hasn't been any amnesty granted; to my knowledge there has been nothing more than an idea floated by Sens. Schumer and Graham (one Democrat and one Republican) that provides, among other things, for an earned path to citizenship which, according to news analysts, is similar to a concept supported by President Bush in 2007. That year the concept was defeated and it may well be again this time, but you would never know that from Berryman's words. |

I'll tell you what if | Letter to Editor | By: | 03/24/09 | 138 words Print papers could have stopped trying to "be the news" long ago, as one tactic. Now they're paying for it!

Playing the 'race card' | Letter to Editor | By: | 05/04/08 | 695 words One case is that of racial diversity vs. illegal immigration. The former is a laudable goal, and is very American. The latter is against the law, and therefore presumably we are against it as a nation. |
'Deliverance II' | kheerbrandt | By: | 05/02/08 | 557 words Third thought: if you judge this community by Berryman and dittoheads in the online comments section; or a local radio host and his minions who mistook the Italian flag for the Mexican one; or a commissioner's looks-good-in-a-headline-and-might-be-good-for-my-2010-Congressional-bid proposal of English as the county's official language, you'd think Frederick County was auditioning for the cast of "Deliverance II." |

Walkersville officials' intolerance transparent | Letter to Editor | By: | 11/11/07 | 478 words At this point, the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming. Columnist Don Kornreich's claim ("Reasonable decision on Walkersville spelled out," Nov. 4) that opposition to the special exception (not a variance, as he claims, which is much more difficult to obtain) is based only on "adverse impact" and not because the applicant is Muslim is simply implausible. No amount of back-pedaling will change the blatant hostility exhibited against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in recent months. |
10,000 too much in Walkersville even for Scouts | Letter to Editor | By: | 11/03/07 | 128 words The issue is the capacities of our small town, traffic congestion studies, water and sewer, and we refuse to be baited in Malik’s discrimination argument, which he seek to use like a battle-ax against our good citizens.

Don't take chance on Muslim center | Letter to Editor | By: | 10/04/07 | 271 words Homeland Security is not the answer to screening the Ahmadiyya sect (AMC) for Walkersville! I was happy to see that the FNP was covering fresh angles on the attempt of this Muslim sect (truly) to buy the Moxley Farm in Walkersville.
