A Fallen Hero Comes Home….
Kevin E. Dayhoff
As I surveyed the huge display of American flags and the mass of community that showed-up at the Union Bridge fire hall on Monday morning to pay their final respects to Marine Staff Sergeant Charles Isaac Cartwright; I could not help but think of the famous quote: “Where do we get such men?”

Different Country, Same Elections
Tom McLaughlin
Kuching, Malaysia – He who can stuff the most ballot boxes wins the election. I really can’t understand why the Western world cannot accept this obvious concept of democracy.

The First Amendment: Again
Roy Meachum
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Just Dithering About College
Steven R. Berryman
A quick overnight out toward Maryland’s Eastern Shore over the past weekend took yours truly and my oldest son Paul to Salisbury University for a pre-admissions visit.

Putting His Right Foot Forward
Michael Kurtianyk
I must say that I am impressed with the caliber of Mayor-Elect Randy McClement’s transition team. Beginning with Dale Driscoll, whom I admire greatly, and Alderman-Elect Karen Lewis Young, who will be co-chair with Mr. Driscoll.

Three Mass Murders
Roy Meachum
Before history dawned, tribes killed killers for revenge. Has mankind abandoned the “eye for an eye” mentality? We offer three current examples, including Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

A Job Well Done…
Joe Charlebois
The demonization of the Frederick County Sheriff’s office continues. The latest attempt to derail the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency’s 287(g) program has reached the top steps of the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland.

The Path Not Taken…
Derek Shackelford
Thomas “Tip” O’Neill, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, once coined the phrase, “All politics is local.” This can be interpreted to mean politicians should be able to understand their local constituents and the policies that affect them the most – the local political issues.

Fulfill the Promises or Face Consequences
Tony Soltero
There's a lot of anger out there. It's been out there for several years, and every year Americans take the occasion of elections to express this anger.

Helping the Bad Guys Succeed
Patricia A. Kelly
I’m sitting at my computer wearing a pendant that reads, in Arabic, “There is no God but God”. I‘m not a Muslim. I’m wearing it in sympathy for the many innocent Muslims who will suffer more hatred as a result of the Fort Hood killings by Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

Stop with the Political Correctness…
Kevin E. Dayhoff
As Americans look forward to honoring our nation’s veterans today; we do so with heavy hearts in the wake of the senseless and cowardly murder of a dozen soldiers and one civilian at the Fort Hood (TX) Soldier Readiness Processing Center last Thursday.

Tom Goes Spark’in – Part 2
Tom McLaughlin
Kuching, Malaysia – I decided that I was tired of living, sleeping and traveling alone. I am ready to find a wife and begin a new marriage after five years of bachelorhood. I have met many ladies here in Malaysia and have been courting a 42-year-old Malay girl. (see last weeks column).

“Berlin bleibt doch Berlin”
Roy Meachum
That’s how Marlene Dietrich sang it. “Berlin remains Berlin after all” may be the closest translation I can make in English. I lived there years before the Wall went up; the 20th anniversary of its fall was celebrated around the world yesterday, setting off memories in me.

Math Anxiety: Causes and Cures
Nick Diaz
Test anxiety is a common problem for many students, regardless of level – middle, high, or college. At the college level, this is an especially difficult problem for those who are in “developmental” courses. Unfortunately, it is also common to experience test anxiety only in math, and not in other courses.

Various and Sundry…around the horn
Steven R. Berryman
Last week’s column went out on The Tentacle at over 1,400 words and I swore to do better this week. To wit, I offer you these nicely abbreviated sundry items:

Extend the Credit; Curb the Fraud
Michael Kurtianyk
Last Friday, President Barack Obama signed a bill extending the first-time homebuyer tax credit through April 30, 2010. Though controversial (more on this later), overall, it’s a positive step to improve our economy.

REVIEW: Michael Jackson, I Never Knew You
Roy Meachum
It was a surprise. Young people were walking around the local movie theatres with pasteboard and plastic festooning their wrists. A guy when asked where he was going responded: “The Michael Jackson movie.”

Union Bridge MD Marine killed in Afghanistan


Sgt. Charles I. Cartwright, 26, of Union Bridge, Md., died Nov. 7 while supporting combat operations in Farah province, Afghanistan.


Updated with photo - November 11, 2009

It was sometime on Monday, November 9, 2009 that I learned that “Sgt. Charles I. Cartwright, 26, of Union Bridge, Md., died Nov. 7 while supporting combat operations in Farah province, Afghanistan.

Sadly, his death has just today been confirmed in a DoD news release:

“He was assigned to 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, Camp Pendleton, Calif,” according to a U.S. Department of Defense news release - http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=13115

The news had spread through the Carroll County Maryland firefighting community because Sgt. Cartwright is the son of Mike Cartwright, the Union Bridge Volunteer Fire Co. assistant chief.

At the time this is written, it is believed that Sgt. Cartwright, a highly decorated Marine, was on his fourth tour in the Middle East.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the family. We are grateful for his service to our country and saddened by his loss.
