David Bowie, the self-described “tasteful thief” who appropriated from and influenced glam rock, soul, disco, new wave, punk rock, and haute couture, and whose edgy, androgynous alter egos invited fans to explore their own dark places, died Jan. 10, two days after his 69th birthday.

Bill Gavin is the Carroll Co. Chamber of Commerce Legislative
Committee chair… Has chaired the committee for 40 years. Jan. 7, 2016
Del. Haven Shoemaker. … Discussed his committee assignment

to like his straightforward no nonsense style
Several brought-up the need to inject some funds into the
state pension system to shore-up the fund. Not much mention of pension reform.
Last year’s efforts to scale back the taxes on military
pensions was mentioned and continuing the efforts to stop taxing retirement incomes
because all those folks are leaving the state...
Del. Susan Krebs... Also thanked the Chamber legislative
committee…
Regulatory reform commission initiative… Revenues good but
unfortunately it is from Capital gains taxes. Whole different posture with Gov.
Hogan…
Sen. Justin Ready… also thanked the Chamber… discussed
process a bit… real and significant tax relief… We do not have a budget
surplus, we have a fund balance.
Del. Trent Kittleman represents a portion of Carroll Co.
Regulatory reform. The importance of supporting business. Has one bill that
students pass the citizenship test.
×××××
A number of important issues were raised during the question
and answer period. A number of folks asked some good questions and the Carroll

A single consolidated time off benefit… combine sick leave,
vacation …

MDOT…
Dennis Frazier: Last mile will cost 200 million. Last mile

The idea of allowing large grocery stores to sell alcohol.

Carroll County saw considerable successes last year in areas
such as farmland preservation and protecting valuable water supplies, but much
work remains to be done.
Speaking at the annual State of the County luncheon
sponsored by the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce, County Commissioner Julia
Walsh Gouge said Carroll is among the top in the state for farmland
preservation, and the water resource ordinance enacted last year was recognized
by the federal government's Environmental Protection Agency as one of the best
in the region.
But Commissioner Dean L. Minnich said other projects, such
as paving gravel roads and providing relief to overburdened volunteer
firefighters, are being squeezed as state legislators force unfunded mandates
onto county government. See more: Annual

January is Thyroid Awareness Month, a campaign of the
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists designed to inform the public
of the importance of this organ and how to recognize when something goes wrong.
The thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland at the base of the
neck that releases compounds, the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, in order to help
regulate the body's metabolism, according to Dr. Mack Harrell, immediate past
president of the association.
This year, the thyroid awareness campaign is focusing on
hypothyroidism, the most common thyroid disorder, where decreased levels of
thyroid hormones can create a wide range of symptoms from depression, lack of
energy and weight fluctuations, to constipation, sensitivity to cold and dry,
itchy skin.
According to information provided by the American
Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, hypothyroidism is one of the most
frequently misdiagnosed conditions in the U.S., with estimates that as much as
10 percent to the population may have the disease.

We recently received a notice from an outfit called iDNS -
Internet Domain Name Services which encouraged us to renew our domain name….
It certainly appears to be a cleverly worded letter designed
for the purpose of criminally tricking you into paying an exorbitant rate for
your domain registration renewal – and in the process you will have moved your
domain registration to iDNS which will then charge you excessive yearly maintenance
fees….
There are also reports that you can – may lose control of
your domain registration, an identity theft of sorts which will result in hours
upon hours of frustrating time and money lost.
If you try to remedy your mistake, it has been reported that
iDNS will not release your domain name – or charge you an exorbitant rate to
release it.
In addition,
several sites note that “it may be a phishing scam for credit card numbers…”,
i.e., for stealing your credit card…
Shred it and pass the word. And encourage your state’s
attorney’s office and state legislatures to aggressively pursue these attempts
at fraud and criminal enterprise.
Changes could be coming to the standards by which fire and
emergency response teams are graded around the county.
At a meeting of the County Board of Commissioners on
Thursday, representatives from the county's planning and public safety agencies
asked the commissioners to consider amendments to the county's fire and
emergency response standards, including expanding the amount of time considered
acceptable for fire departments and cutting down on the acceptable percentage
of times emergency medical service providers can be documented as late or
nonresponsive to calls in order to be rated "adequate" by the county.
The fire and emergency response times are tied to the
county's concurrency management standards, which are designed to prevent
residential growth from proceeding at a rate that strains public facilities
like schools, sewers, water, and public safety. Each year, according to county
code, a report is compiled by the county's Planning and Zoning Commission staff
to assess the county's capacity to undertake more development and to make any
recommendation for changes.
