Culleton: We need industrial land in Carroll County that will stay that way

Culleton on Carroll: We need industrial land, but also some insurance it’ll stay that way

By John Culleton Posted on www.explorecarroll.com 6/25/09

Carroll countians want top ranked schools, low taxes and no industry nearby.

It is a case of pick two out of three. Half the County budget is for education, and our taxable base is 80 percent residential. The only way to lower taxes is to get some industrial development to increase the proportion of industry and hence decrease the proportion of residential tax base.

To put it another way, so long as most real estate taxes are paid by residences, the taxes on me and thee will be high compared to other counties.

This is not news, although the friends of the residential developers like to obscure that fact. Complaining about higher taxes won't help. Industrial development will.

The county shows foresight in proposing to rezone land from agricultural to industrial in large chunks and in suitable locations. But after the rezoning county officials need to consider worst-case analysis.

Although he denies being a Cylon

December 5, 2008

Although he defiantly denies being a Cylon, or that he knows anything about Hera Agathon, the 12 Colonies, or Renoir; Kevin Dayhoff claims to know a great deal about the “first Cylon War,” only because he is an economic historian.

Nonetheless, he bids you a warm welcome to the machine.

He has been known to have a great deal of affection for toasters, and possesses and unblinking eye, yet he refuses to shed a teardrop or be a writer that is dissolved, or be boxed-in about likes and dislikes; and has a certain fondness for Betty Blue, Easter Eggs and thinks Beatrice Dalle is pretty killer.

Known to be synchronized in his own head, ten years after, 50,000 miles beneath his brain, he seems to enjoy extending upon his immediate environment a projection of his day dreams which he claims will change the appearance of his immediate environment.

Nevertheless, at the end of a long day, it does appear that some deterioration seems to result in his appearance, which causes some folks to wonder…

And that’s the final scene as the white cat asks “Are you writing?”

This Day in History: Workers assemble first Corvette in Flint, Michigan

Welcome to the THIS DAY IN HISTORY newsletter from History.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Advertisement ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brought to you by the Hyundai Genesis sedan, 2009 North American Car of the Year. http://clk.atdmt.com/IWC/go/114825739/direct/01/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

June 28: General Interest
1953 : Workers assemble first Corvette in Flint, Michigan

On this day in 1953, workers at a Chevrolet plant in Flint, Michigan, assemble the first Corvette, a two-seater sports car that would become an American icon. The first completed production car rolled off the assembly line two days later, one of just 300 Corvettes made that year.

The idea for the Corvette originated with General Motors' pioneering designer Harley J. Earl, who in 1951 began developing plans for a low-cost American sports car that could compete with Europe’s MGs, Jaguars and Ferraris. The project was eventually code-named "Opel." In January 1953, GM debuted the Corvette concept car at its Motorama auto show at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It featured a fiberglass body and a six-cylinder engine and according to GM, was named for the "trim, fleet naval vessel that performed heroic escort and patrol duties during World War II." The Corvette was a big hit with the public at Motorama and GM soon put the roadster into production.

On June 30, 1953, the first Corvette came off the production line in Flint. It was hand-assembled and featured a Polo White exterior and red interior, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, a wraparound windshield, whitewall tires and detachable plastic curtains instead of side windows. The earliest Corvettes were designed to be opened from the inside and lacked exterior door handles. Other components included a clock, cigarette lighter and red warning light that activated when the parking brake was applied--a new feature at the time. The car carried an initial price tag of $3,490 and could go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 11 or 12 seconds, then considered a fairly average speed.

In 1954, the Corvette went into mass production at a Chevy plant in St. Louis, Missouri. Sales were lackluster in the beginning and GM considered discontinuing the line. However, rival company Ford had introduced the two-seater Thunderbird around the same time and GM did not want to be seen bowing to the competition. Another critical development in the Corvette's survival came in 1955, when it was equipped with the more powerful V-8 engine. Its performance and appeal steadily improved after that and it went on to earn the nickname "America's sports car" and become ingrained in pop culture through multiple references in movies, television and music.

Irony Deficient
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Half-way across the globe on June 12, the volatile and enigmatic theocratic nation of Iran held elections in which the Iranian government counted 32 million hand-written paper ballots in about three hours and declared the incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad victorious.

The Plane Ride
Tom McLaughlin
Aboard a Malaysian Airlines Flight – “How do you spend 22 plus hours on an airplane and still stay sane” is the question I am often asked when I travel back and forth from Malaysia to the States. My reply: “I have never been sane in my life, so why would this make any difference?”

REVIEW – Finest Individual Performance I've Seen
Roy Meachum
When I first looked on actor Stacy Keach from a reviewer's seat, his white beard was fake. He played Wild Bill Cody in Arena Stage's "Indians," a somewhat bitter analogy for the very bitter protests against the raging Vietnam War. We were young men in our prime. Now the white beards are very real, on both sides of the lights.

Bureaucracy Run Amok
Roy Meachum
Twenty six years ago last March I moved into what was then called the Historic District, which was bound on the north by 4th Street; since that's where my house faced, the commission could only tell me what to do about the front; the rest of the place was unregulated.

The Ugly Head of Anti-Business
Michael Kurtianyk
I can’t believe that any of our county commissioners would vote against a request by Life Technologies, Corp. The company is simply looking for a $25,000 economic development grant as part of a larger grant from the State of Maryland.

Motorcycle Touring – Part 1
Nick Diaz
In my many years of traveling by motorcycle, I’ve encountered many people who ask me questions like, “Did you ride that thing all the way out here from Maryland?” The standard reply from this smart aleck is: “It’s better than pushing it all the way from Maryland…”

The final form of changes to our current healthcare system, as is being pressed by our President Barack Obama, is still under wraps. A rational discussion of the ramifications for all concerned – including you – is an essential exercise now.

Dirty Shots
Roy Meachum
My blood boiled this week at a pair of dirty shots; their targets were County Commissioner Charles A. Jenkins and Fredericktowne Players' "Annie" director Samn Huffer.

Saving The Planet vs. Controlling It
Joe Charlebois
Current initiatives to make the world a "cooler" place will simply fail. Why will they fail? They will fail because the current proposals as presented do little if anything to encourage activity through positive and enterprising methods.

What A The Week That Was
Joan McIntyre
What a week it has been. Commissioner Charles Jenkins put the Waste-to-Energy plant back on the table. Anti incinerator proponents have gone into over drive, again in a panic.

A Turn for the Better
Michael Kurtianyk
Does it feel like the economy is doing better? Are you seeing signs that give you hope for a better future? Have we hit bottom and are now starting to climb up out of our doldrums?

Illogical! Even Stupid
Roy Meachum
Donna Kuzemchak was never known for demure behavior. She was a fiery acolyte during ex-Mayor Jennifer Dougherty's term; understanding the measure of the woman she supported, she scarcely raised a peep directly against the boss lady. She did not start Jeff’ Holtzinger's four years as a happy camper, which everyone understood.

Simple Answer, Complex Solutions
Farrell Keough
Much discussion has been taking place surrounding the subject of Smart Growth. New plans for zoning, building, growth, and government regulations.

Rest Easy, Good and Faithful Servant
Richard B. Weldon Jr.
Sadness settled over the Middletown Valley this weekend. As longtime residents of the Town of Middletown hear the news, voices were hushed in conversation and steps along Main Street lost some of their bounce.

Steven R. Berryman
As complex as life and electronics are these days, I cannot help but look back fondly to my first big job and the consumer world of the 1970s, before computers, cell phones, and even home theater and large screen televisions.

Mark Sanford – Don’t Cry for me Argentina

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrx5Ve7y0xM

Lyrics to Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Evita) :
It won't be easy
You'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After ll that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see
Is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressd up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions
They promise to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said to much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do
Is look at me to know
That every word is true
