Proudly waving American flags, over 40 people walked half a mile from the St. Matthew United Church of Christ to the Pleasant Valley Cemetery Sunday afternoon to honor those killed in service to their country in observance of Memorial Day.

"We honor the people that have given the utmost to our country and kept America free," said Arthur Jenne, a retired Marine Corps officer from Pleasant Valley.

[…]

Kevin Dayhoff, who served in the Marine Corps Reserves, was the keynote speaker.

"It is our duty and responsibility as citizens, to remember these brave sons of Carroll County and never forget the men and women who know all too well the cost of our freedom, for their service to our country is the greatest gift of all," Dayhoff said.

Kasich: Cleveland a 'model' for responding to protests Kasich, a possible 2016 GOP presidential contender, urged protesters to be peaceful.

Kasich: Cleveland a 'model' for responding to protests Kasich, a possible 2016 GOP presidential contender, urged protesters to be peaceful. http://hill.cm/c1yldNu

By Mark Hensch - 05/24/15 Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) praised Cleveland officials on Sunday for their response to protests after a police officer was found not guilty in the 2012 shooting of an unarmed black couple.

“What I will say is that I think the people of Cleveland handled this, I mean, they should be so proud of themselves and we should look at Cleveland as a model,” Kasich told host Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week.”

“But the credit goes to the leadership in Cleveland who have spoken in with one voice saying protest, but no violence is acceptable in Cleveland,” he said.

Exclusive: China warns U.S. surveillance plane - CNNPolitics.com:
By Jim Sciutto, Chief National Security Correspondent

Updated 8:32 PM ET, Wed May 20, 2015

"High stakes surveillance over the South China Sea 03:47

Above the South China Sea (CNN)The Chinese navy issued warnings eight times as a U.S. surveillance plane on Wednesday swooped over islands that Beijing is using to extend its zone of influence.

The series of man-made islands and the massive Chinese military build-up on them have alarmed the Pentagon, which is carrying out the surveillance flights in order to make clear the U.S. does not recognize China's territorial claims. The militarized islands have also alarmed America's regional allies.

Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell told CNN's Erin Burnett Wednesday night that the confrontation indicates there is "absolutely" a risk of the U.S. and China going to war sometime in the future.

Introduction

The Mayor and Common Council of Westminster adopted Ordinance No. 553 which adds new sections to the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Westminster. Chapter 164 of these sections provides for the adoption of a landscape manual for the City to enhance its environmental and visual character for its citizens' use and enjoyment.

The Mayor and Common Council recognize that developers and property owners will expend additional costs for landscaping required by this landscape manual. However, it also recognizes the important value of this highly regarded amenity. It further finds that a landscape manual will preserve and stabilize the City’s ecological balance, improve air and water quality, reduce flooding and erosion, and provide protection from climatic conditions.

This manual has been adopted by The Mayor and Common Council of Westminster pursuant to Ordinance No. 553 so that its purposes and objectives can be achieved to the benefit of all of the City’s citizens.

It is intended that this manual be used and implemented by landowners, developers, contractors, civil engineers, landscape architects, landscape contractors, urban foresters, natural resource specialists and planners in obtaining appropriate approval from the City in connection with development.

The landscape manual is supplementary to and does not replace the provisions of the Forest Conservation Act as contained in Section 5-1601 of the Natural Resources Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

Purpose

The purpose of this Landscape Manual is to preserve, protect and improve - the public health and general welfare by promoting the environmental and public benefits of landscaping. This Landscape Manual provides for the use of landscape elements in an organized manner designed to augment and enhance the City's physical environment and visual character with resulting benefits to its citizens.

In achieving this purpose, the City adopts the following goals and objectives for landscape design:

(a) to provide varying and attractive landscape elements including deciduous and evergreen planting, earthen berms planted with suitable vegetation and a variety of harmonious shrubs, groundcovers, grasses and perennials.

(b) to preserve and enhance natural vegetation to the maximum extent feasible, to protect the natural ecosystem and achieve aesthetically pleasing appearances.

(d) to preserve steep, erodible and wooded slopes and provide suitable planting on artificially graded slopes.

(e) to design streets and roads, streetscapes and grading to accommodate and respect the natural terrain and vegetation.

(f) to utilize landscape elements to stabilize soil and prevent erosion, sedimentation and reduce stormwater run-off with its potential damage.

(g) to utilize elements of landscape design in aiding the removal of pollutants from the air and assist in the generation of oxygen.

(h) to provide a buffer and screen against noise, pollution and dissimilar uses.

(i) to provide a haven and shelter for birds and other fauna.

(j) to provide shade thereby reducing ambient temperature, mitigating heat islands and providing protection from adverse environmental conditions, including sun glare, heat, noise and wind.
