As money and corporate information have morphed from hard currency and blueprints to digital files, small and midsized businesses have become the new banks to rob. In fact, bank robberies across the U.S. have plummeted from 9,400 in 1991 to just 3,870 last year. As Doug Johnson of the American Bankers Association puts it: "As more and more transactions become electronic, more bank crimes become electronic."

Maryland State House – Call 911 – Ambulance Needed
Maryland drivers are getting ready to head to the emergency
room for a transfusion, as Governor O’Malley is sucking their life’s blood out
of them, or should I say the few dollars they have left in their wallets.
With all the legislation that was passed in the recently
ended legislative session, we should all be thankful that it only lasts for 90
days. Otherwise we might be finding
ourselves at the local soup kitchen for what this Governor is costing us.
On July 1, Martin O’Malley’s sticky fingers will plunge deep
in our pockets to pull out an additional $2 dollars in toll fees for the Bay
Bridge, the Harry W. Nice Bridge, the JFK Highway (I-95) and Thomas J. Hatem
Memorial Bridge. Oh, that hand’s not
finished yet – grab an additional dollar for the Harbor and Ft. McHenry tunnels
and the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Next year when the Express Toll Lanes open on
Interstate 95 we’ll have even more toll hikes with the variable toll rates
lanes. All for the sake of cutting time off on our work commute. This gives
whole new meaning to the phrase “time is money” with Governor Martin O’Malley
in charge of your wallet.
Until this year Governor O’Malley should have been forced to
buy malpractice insurance to cover what his administration had not been doing –
going after those who breeze through the E-Z pass tolls without paying. In the last five years these toll-runners
have chalked up nearly $6.7 million in unpaid tolls – and they want to dip into
the pockets again of the law-bidding motorists.
Botched operation – get me a lawyer!
Now you take the surrounding states, Delaware has $10 in
tolls for the entire state. West
Virginia has only one toll road (take me home country roads). Our good friends in Virginia only pay $27.10
and that’s including the Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel at $12.00. Only the state of Pennsylvania equals our
current total of $33.00 … and they have 15 toll roads compared to our 8 soon to
be 9. Really? I think I’m going to faint
– grab the smelling salts.
The public is still choking on the Gas Tax we’re going to
start paying on July 1, 2013, the same day that the tolls increase. If the feds don’t add to our misery, you’ll
be paying at least 62.5 cents per gallon in taxes by 2016. My suggestion to you -- learn the Heimlich
maneuver before then!
In just the past two years alone we’ve see car registration
double (don’t forget to add the additional $3.50 the gas tax bill has included
in raising the registration fee once again), titling a vehicle doubled, and car
dealers processing fees doubled. For
those of you who found a car or truck too expensive to use – even moped and
motor scooters owners found the “Tax Man” waiting like the Grim Reaper. The addition of a $20 titling fee and an
excise tax of 6 percent, requirement of insurance and the additional cost to
purchase a helmet and protective eye wear…
We always have the option of riding a bike, rollerblades or a skateboard
– oh wait, give’em time -- they’ll tax that too!
Wait a dog gone minute – the intake from toll fees collected
minus expenses for the fiscal years 2011 and 2012 is a whopping
$621,460,763. Oh my gosh -- the heart is
beating double time, I’m having a hard time breathing! Didn’t the MDTA say in 2011 that costs for
repairs involving all these toll roads AND the expense of addressing traffic
congestion along I-95 (the express toll lanes) and the Inter-county Connector
in the DC area totaled $909,000,000. Oh
hon, one more year without another toll increase and the funds for all that
work will have given us $130,000,000 to spare – the cost of gold-plated
pacemakers for everyone in the state.
The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Maryland in 2012 reports
that the standard for a three-person family has increased by an average of 54%
in the last decade. How much will these
new taxes and fees increase that average?
Enough is enough; we haven’t even gotten to the wind and
rain taxes O’Malley inflicted on us.
The only person dancing in the rain after the 2013
Legislative Session is Martin O’Malley. After July 1, 2013 the rest of us will
be on life support.

Supreme Court strikes down Defense of Marriage Act -
Washington Post National News Alert
The Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that denies federal benefits to same-sex couples who are legally married in the states where they reside. The court said it violated equal protection to provide benefits to heterosexual couples while denying them to gay couples in the 12 states plus the District of Columbia where same-sex couples may marry. The law passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton recognized marriage as only between one man and one woman.

“Remembering Vietnam
- The Wall at 25,” is the subject of a stunning original Smithsonian Channel
Documentary. The program will be simultaneously
web-streamed on the Smithsonian Channel Website - www.smithsonianchannel.com
with its on-air broadcast to DirecTV subscribers on Channel 267 this evening at
8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
My colleague at The Westminster Eagle, Heidi Schroeder and I
were provided an advance copy of the documentary. We had been contacted for research
information by Lynn Kessler-Hiltajczuk last summer.
Ms. Kessler-Hiltajczuk is a writer-producer for
Alexandria-based LK Productions and served as an independent producer for the
program. She was looking for additional
information on Lance Cpl. Muriel Stanley Groomes, a Carroll Countian who was
killed in Vietnam
on Nov. 2, 1968.
Ms. Schroeder writes that in “addition to a history of The
Wall's construction and interviews with veterans, the documentary provides a
sneak peek into the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Collection, which features over
100,000 items that have been left at The Wall.”
Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund founder and president Jan
Scruggs calls the program "the best documentary film about the wall I've
ever seen." After reviewing it
several times, I could not agree more.
In the many years since the dedication of The Wall, the
memorial has evolved into a national shrine for those who made the ultimate
sacrifice in Vietnam
– an often misunderstood and inaccurately reported conflict.
It has also become a tribute to the American veterans who
served our country in that long-ago war thousands of miles away from the
comfort of our living room.
Veterans such as the current Carroll
County State ’s
Attorney, Jerry F. Barnes, (and former Frederick County
It was in that month, that the 1966 Westminster High School
There Mr. Barnes opted to eschew being drafted for two years
and enlisted for three years. At first
he wanted to be a helicopter pilot, but after a series of events, he signed up
for Special Forces - the Green Berets.
Mr. Barnes’ Vietnam
experience was one of a number of sketches by Ms. Amedori which appears in a
new publication from the Historical Society of Carroll County, “Tours of Duty –
Carroll County
In a recent phone interview Mr. Barnes talked about his
service in Vietnam
from September 16, 1969 to September 16, 1970.
Mr. Barnes began his Special Forces – Green Beret training in January
1969.
Soon after arriving at Cam Ranh Bay he assigned to the first
of three “A-Camps” in Kon
Tum Province Afghanistan
and Iraq .
In Kon Tum province he served at A-241 Polei Kleng; A-244
Ben Het; A-245 Dak Seang – about 20 miles from the Laotian border as one of
approximately 10 American “advisors” serving with several hundred Montagnard
tribesmen in the “Civilian Irregular Defense Group” counterinsurgency program.
In Vietnam ,
Sgt. Barnes served with the 5th Special Forces Group and a “typical” assignment
was to go out on 8 to 10-day operations as (more often than not) the lone
American with a contingent of South Vietnamese Special Forces counterparts – or
Montagnards, to monitor and patrol the Ho Chi Minh trail. “Our objective was to interdict and disrupt
the supply activities of the trail.”
“It was while out on one of these patrols that Barnes’
heroic actions earned him the first of two Bronze Stars for valor,” according
to Ms. Amedori.
Mr. Barnes explained that he was with 20 Montagnards 18
miles from the Laotian border “manning a radio relay station for a larger
operation farther out when we were attacked as dusk by a (contingent) of the
North Vietnamese regular Army.”
The ensuing firefight lasted throughout the night. “We took some casualties and before it was
all over, it took calling in an artillery attack, then Cobra helicopter gunships
followed by suppression fire from C-130’s, known as “Puff the Magic Dragons,”
and finally two fighter jets to save them.
Before returning home he was awarded a second Bronze Star
and the Combat Infantry Badge among a number of recognitions. He turned down a number of Army re-enlistment
offers and served the remainder of his enlistment stateside with the 10th
Special Forces with the famed 10th Mountain Division in New
England .
After his honorable discharge in June 1971, he utilized the
GI Bill and graduated first from the University
of Baltimore
“I actually started as an intern with the Carroll County
State Assistant
State ’s Attorney until he was first
elected to the office of Carroll
County State
Mr. Barnes has “tried as best I can to attend all the
Veterans Day ceremonies... It is important
to remember individuals who have dedicated their lives for the establishment
and preservation of our freedoms.”
It is important that this Veterans Day, we remember the
service of Sgt. Barnes and countless other veterans. God bless them all for their dedication and
commitment.

David Simas Deputy Senior Advisor White House: Here's the plan to cut carbon pollution
Hi, all --
The carbon pollution that causes climate change isn't a distant threat, the risk to public health isn't a hypothetical, and it's clear we have a moral obligation to act.
The 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15 years, and 2012 was the hottest one we've ever recorded. When carbon pollutes the air, the risk of asthma attacks increases. When the Earth's atmosphere fundamentally changes, we see more heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods.
These events also create an economic imperative to act. When farms wash away and crops wilt, food prices go up. Last year, we saw 11 different weather disasters that each cost the United States more than $1 billion.
And confronting this challenge isn't just about preventing disaster -- it's also about moving America forward in a way that creates hundreds of thousands of good, new, clean energy jobs. It's about wasting less energy, which saves money for every business and every family in America.
So the debate's over. It's time for action.
First, he's laying out a plan to cut carbon pollution in America -- by working to cut pollution from power plants, protect the health of our kids, boost clean energy, and revamp our transportation sector for the 21st century. Second, he's preparing the United States for the impacts of these changes -- by building stronger, safer communities and developing resources to make our country more resilient. And finally, he's leading international efforts to combat global climate change.
We've put together a graphic that breaks this all down -- from the effects we're already seeing to the specific actions we're going to take to lead this fight.
No single step can reverse the effects of climate change, but that's no excuse for inaction. We have a moral obligation to leave our kids a planet that's not broken and polluted.
So here's what we're going to do:
Share President Obama's plan to make sure people in your community understand why we're taking these steps and what comes next.
Thanks!
David

Breitbart: Carroll County Maryland Tea Party accused of violence
Democrats in
Maryland accused local Tea Partiers of having
“violent tendencies
I went to Commissioner Haven
Shoemaker's announcement today at the library, in spite of my concern that
there would be violence. I'm just saying... http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/22/Tea-Party-Group-Banned-from-Town-Hall-Because-of-Maryland-Democrats-Smear
This is far beyond sad. I have my criticisms of the Tea
Party folks and of the local Democrats - but I must say that fear of violence
has never been a concern. I have witnessed Liberals trash places where they
have held rallies. I have never worried about violence. I have worried about
sheer nonsense out of both camps... I have never worried about violence from
either the liberals or the conservatives in our community.
The only time I have ever worried about violence came from
card-carrying Democrats when I worked for Civil Rights in the south in the
early 1970s. I'm just saying...
TEA PARTY GROUP BANNED FROM TOWN HALL BECAUSE OF MARYLAND
DEMOCRATS' SMEAR by MATTHEW BOYLE 22 Jun 2013 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/22/Tea-Party-Group-Banned-from-Town-Hall-Because-of-Maryland-Democrats-Smear
Democrats in Maryland accused local Tea Partiers of having
“violent tendencies,” resulting in them being banned by local law enforcement
from attending an upcoming town hall event with their Congressman, Breitbart
News has learned.
Local Maryland bloggers at Front Line State broke the story
on Saturday morning, noting that “Carroll County Maryland Democrats have
reportedly attempted to use the Sheriff’s department to keep members of a local
Tea Party activist group from attending a ‘meet and greet’ with their
congressional representative, Chris Van Hollen, on Monday June 24 at Caroll
County Community College (CCCC).”
Van Hollen is the ranking member of the House Budget
Committee
Michelle Jefferson of We The People (WTP), a local Tea Party
group in the area, told Front Line State that she had spoken with Major Tom
Long of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department when she returned home on
Wednesday after the “Audit The IRS” rally in Washington, D.C.
Long told her that Don West, the recording secretary for the
Carroll County Democratic Central Committee, had contacted the Community
College’s campus security, the State Police, and the county sheriff’s office
asking that We The People be banned from attending Van Hollen’s upcoming town
hall event. He claimed the Tea Party group engages in what he described as
“violent tendencies.”
It was later discovered that West, the Democratic Party
official, filed an “interim peace order” against WTP’s Jefferson. Read more http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/22/Tea-Party-Group-Banned-from-Town-Hall-Because-of-Maryland-Democrats-Smear

The Carroll County Arts Council recently unveiled its “Images of the Civil War” exhibit in time for the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Westminster, a skirmish commonly known as Corbit's Charge, that took place June 29, 1863, a few days before the Battle of Gettysburg.
The arts council hosted the exhibit's opening celebration June 13 with about 160 people attending.
Susan Williamson, visual arts coordinator of the arts council, said the majority of the pieces displayed come from arts council members who created their pieces within the last nine months.
Other works come from artists in Frederick, Gaithersburg, Cambridge, and as far as New York.
"Everything is new, which is the beauty of this show," Williamson said.
Works include oil paintings, water color, pastels, 3D printing, photography, and jewelry among other styles…. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-civil-war-exhibit-20130613,0,6396085.story
