City writes $1,105 check for rent it didn't owe - baltimoresun.com

City writes $1,105 check for rent it didn't owe - baltimoresun.com:

Miscommunication, address confusion caused error, officials say

By Scott Calvert, The Baltimore Sun 11:26 a.m. EDT, August 3, 2013

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/sun-investigates/bs-md-sun-investigates-ground-rent-20130803,0,4638821.story

The Baltimore housing department recently tried to give away some money — $1,105 to be exact.

That was the amount of a check sent to retired lawyer Constance Putzel in June, with a notation that the city was paying her for ground rent she held on several city-owned parcels at Old Town Mall.

Except Putzel hasn't been entitled to any such payments since 2011. That year, the city paid her a lump sum of nearly $14,000 to extinguish Putzel's claim on the land under its property."

Md high court finds ground-rent law unconstitutional By Timothy B. Wheeler and Jamie Smith Hopkins Baltimore Sun Feb 26, 2014

Md. high court finds ground-rent law unconstitutional

State can't take away ability to seize and sell homes over unpaid ground rents, court rules

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2014/03/md-high-court-finds-ground-rent-law.html

By Timothy B. Wheeler and Jamie Smith Hopkins, The Baltimore Sun February 26, 2014 http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-ground-rent-court-decision-20140226,0,2243306.story

Maryland's highest court tossed out Wednesday the heart of an ambitious legislative effort to stop homeowners from losing their property over unpaid rent on the ground beneath their houses.

The Court of Appeals ruled that the law violated the rights of "ground-rent" owners by taking away their ability to seize and sell the homes of tenants who don't pay, then keep the proceeds. Allowing owners to bring foreclosure proceedings instead was not a reasonable substitute, the court said.

The decision throws into doubt sweeping 2007 changes to a Colonial-era system under which many homes in Baltimore and around the state sit on ground that is owned by a leaseholder. Homeowners on those properties are legally required to pay rent, usually twice a year, to the holder of the ground rent.

Termite Control Programs

There are two kinds of homes: those with termites and those that will eventually have them!

Termites are tough, determined and highly efficient. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause millions of dollars in damage to homes in the United States every year.Subterranean termites live in colonies below the soil surface. Termites are constantly foraging for cellulose-containing material to eat. Unfortunately, termites can't distinguish between the wood in your home and the wood in the forest.

It's important to remember that just because you've never seen termites in your home, it doesn't mean your home is termite-free. Termites use mud to construct tube-like passageways leading from their colony in the soil to the wood in your home. Termites often feed below the surface of wood, so the vast majority of their work is invisible.

One of the OWNERS from Triangle Home Services Inc. will come to evaluate the unique construction and environmental conditions present at your home. Based on a careful inspection, we will create a termite management plan tailor-made for your home's specific needs.

ROCK HILL: Off-duty trooper dragged by a car after Rock Hill domestic assault | Crime | Rock Hill Herald Online

ROCK HILL: Off-duty trooper dragged by a car after Rock Hill domestic assault | Crime | Rock Hill Herald Online:

"ROCK HILL — An off-duty S.C. Highway Patrol trooper who tried intervening in a domestic assault at a Rock Hill gas station Sunday was briefly dragged by a car after his hand became stuck in the driver’s side door. He pulled himself free after he hopped onto one of the vehicle’s running boards, police say.

Authorities are searching for the two suspects who jumped into the sport utility vehicle and took off while the trooper tried calling for police backup.

At about 4:30 p.m., Lance Cpl. Michael Shank, 39, was at the Murphy Express gas station off S.C. 161 when he witnessed a fight between a man, possibly in his early 20s and about 165 pounds, and a woman, possibly in her late 30s or early 40s with long blond hair, according to a Rock Hill Police report. The man, police reported, was hitting the woman."

News from The Hill Oldest congressman forced into primary runoff By Cameron Joseph

News from The Hill Oldest congressman forced into primary runoff

By Cameron Joseph

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/house-races/199923-oldest-congressman-forced-into-primary-runoff

Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas), the oldest member of Congress, has been forced into a potentially perilous runoff in his primary against former U.S. Attorney John Ratcliffe (R).

The Associated Press called that the race will head to a May runoff, with Hall leading Ratcliffe by 45 percent to 30 percent with 27 percent of precincts reporting.

A runoff could be treacherous for the 90-year-old congressman. Ratcliffe has already given his campaign close to a half-million dollars and is promising to donate more, while Hall, caught by surprise in the race, has very little money in the bank.

Streets and history of Westminster intersect at odd angles [Eagle Archives]

Streets and history of Westminster intersect at odd angles [Eagle Archives] By Kevin Dayhoff March 4, 2014 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0302-20140304,0,1024009.story

Many residents today may not recall the crazy-quilt "dog leg" intersection of John, Bond and Main streets, or the equally mismatched collision of Main and Liberty streets, Railroad Avenue, and the train tracks in Westminster.

Years ago, these intersections did not look anything like they do now. Today, they form a perfect "cross."

But years ago, a motorist traveling south on John Street or Railroad Avenue had to make a 90-degree right turn onto Main Street, then hang a quick left to get on either Liberty or Bond Street and get through the intersection.

It may have worked well enough in the horse and buggy days. But by the 1970s, it was nuts.

Finally, sanity ruled and the two intersections and the bridge over the railroad tracks on East Green Street were rebuilt in the mid-1970s.

Many years ago, the area that we now know as John and Carroll streets in Westminster was known as the "space between."

Stephen Colbert spoke at the RSA security conference even though many of his fans asked him not to - By Lily Hay Newman

Stephen Colbert spoke at the RSA security conference even though many of his fans asked him not to.

By Lily Hay Newman MARCH 3 2014 http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/03/03/stephen_colbert_spoke_at_the_rsa_security_conference_even_though_many_of.html?wpisrc=newsletter_jcr:content&mc_cid=96ba8aec80&mc_eid=b27361148d

"Stephen Colbert's satire usually springs forth from his desk at Comedy Central. But he was on location for the RSA conference last week even though some of his fans had asked him to boycott. It seemed like the makings of some solid drama.

But Colbert defused the situation by using his right-wing persona to poke fun at cryptographers, the NSA, and RSA itself. Last year RSA was accused of being paid $10 million by the NSA to intentionally weaken one of its encryption algorithms. And Colbert brought it up. He said, “The elephant in the room is that I was asked not to come speak here. That came as something of a shock to me. Normally I'm asked not to be somewhere only after I've spoken.”"

Heather Dewees Inducted into Mount Saint Mary’s Athletic Hall of Fame

February 27, 2014

According to Carroll County Public Schools, Heather Dewees has been inducted into Mount Saint Mary’s Athletic Hall of Fame

A recent press release reported, “Heather Dewees, a social studies teacher at North Carroll High School and the girls’ basketball coach at Manchester Valley High School, has been inducted into the Mount Saint Mary’s University Athletic Hall of Fame.

“Dewees was inducted for her performance on and off the court as a student athlete. She played women’s basketball and graduated eighth in her class, Summa Cum Laude, with a double major in History and Spanish and a minor in Theology. As a member of the Mount Saint Mary’s basketball team, Dewees scored over 1,000 points and helped lead the Mountaineers to some of the most successful seasons in the program’s Division I history.

“In her final two seasons, Dewees helped the Mount win two conference championships and secure the NEC’s first-ever automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in 1994. She started in both of the Mount’s NCAA tournament games in 1994 and 1995.

“She was named to the NEC All-Newcomer Team, First Team All-NEC and All-NEC Tournament Team.”

24/7 Wall St.:The 10 Cities Where No One Wants to Drive By Alexander E.M. Hess and Thomas C. Frohlich February 6, 2014

For many Americans, there’s no escaping the stressful rush hour drive — but not for everybody. Many choose not to own a car. In fact, according to a recent report, more than 9% of U.S. households did not have a car in 2012, a higher figure than five years ago. In 21 of the nation’s 30 largest cities, households were also less likely to have a vehicle than just five years earlier.

http://247wallst.com/special-report/2014/02/06/the-10-cities-where-no-one-wants-to-drive/?utm_source=247WallStDailyNewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=FEB72014A&utm_campaign=DailyNewsletter

[...]

According to a study by Michael Sivak, a research professor at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, the growth in households without a vehicle provides evidence that Americans are less dependent on cars than in the past. Sivak’s research also indicates that, per capita, Americans own fewer vehicles, drive fewer miles, and consume less fuel. While the number of households without a car rose nationwide, from 8.7% in 2007 to 9.2% in 2012, figures by city differ dramatically. In San Jose, just 5.8% of households did not have a car. In New York, 56.5% of households did not have a car.

6. Baltimore, MD
> Pct. of households without a vehicle: 31.2%
> Pct. commuting to work via public transportation: 19.2% (23rd most)
> Transit score: 56.9 (10th best)
> Population: 620,216 (26th largest)

The percentage of Baltimore households without a car rose from 29.3% in 2007 to 31.2% in 2012. One reason may be the quality of walking routes and public transportation in the city; Baltimore received some of the top marks in the nation for both walking and public transportation. The Maryland Transit Administration operates a number of services, including commuter buses and trains, as well as a more-than 15 mile-long subway. In 2012, more than 19% of commuters took public transportation to work, one of the higher percentages in the nation. There are also plans to build a new light-rail system, called the Red Line.
