The Fall of Marion Barry
Roy Meachum
On Wednesday The Washington Post published: “A defiant D.C. Council Member Marion Barry told a packed Baptist church in Southeast Washington on Tuesday night that despite the decision of the City Council to censure him and strip him of his committee chairmanship, he doesn’t plan to fade away…,’’ the former mayor told several hundred supporters. “They may take my committee chair. They can’t take my dignity.”

Assault on Religion
Joe Charlebois
As secularists worldwide continue their battle against religion, their successes may or may not have an absolute effect on our First Amendment.

Derailing Justice Again
Norman M. Covert
It is probable that the G-Men of the U. S. Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation are content, sleeping well tonight. One might observe that Mrs. Diane Ivins and her family have been denied such slumber. Dr. Bruce Ivins is surely in the care of his Father in Heaven.

Unionizing Child Care Workers: Why?
Patricia A. Kelly
A column yesterday morning in The Frederick News Post by Marta Mossburg of the Maryland Public Policy Institute inspired me to look around and see what’s happening in government.

An Opposing View…
Derek Shackelford
As a columnist it is an honor and a privilege to share my respective views. It can be rather difficult sometimes to articulate them, putting pen to paper. One could say it would be easier to express opinions via another medium.

Horton Hatches the Egg
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Yesterday was the 107th birthday of Theodor Geisel from Springfield, MA. I say with a smile, my little crocodile, you may know him better as an early trendsetter, as the good Dr. Seuss, you may deduce, because I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. To you I’m so faithful one-hundred percent.

Diamond Panning In Borneo
Tom McLaughlin
Ngabang, Landank, Indonesia – Panning for diamonds? I had heard of panning for gold but never for diamonds. This I had to try!

FBI Report? Hog Wash!
Roy Meachum
New Orleans detectives rode Aunt Kate and me to a restaurant where crabs and oysters were free for anyone buying beer. In my case, it was Barque’s root beer, once a local drink made and bottled on the Mississippi Gulf Shore. (The Coca Cola Corporation did me and all the other displaced coonasses a great favor when it bought Barq’s lock, stock and barrel of caffeinated root beer.)

A Great Divide Vanquished
Nick Diaz
Enough with this “bipartisan” nonsense. Enough about “divisiveness.” Let’s go back to 2004, an election year.

A Proper Budgetary Alternative
Farrell Keough
A friend of mine has a home on the corner of a busy road. Because of this, he is able to sell a myriad of things in his front yard – from cars to lawn mowers to any number of items.

Change you can shovel
Richard B. Weldon Jr.
There is no doubt that global climate change is an issue. Scientists might argue about the differences between cyclical changes and man-made forces as the principal accelerant behind the changes, but there are definitely verifiable changes.

Campaign Diary – What about a Charter?
Michael Kurtianyk
February 22, 2010 – Spent two hours discussing charter form of government in Frederick County with people who’ve gone through the experience in Maryland. I must say that this issue, historically, has been broached by many people through the years.

Galen Clagett
Roy Meachum
He was president of the Board of County Commissioners when I started writing a Frederick column. The first time I essayed into local politics came the last spring before he was unceremoniously dumped in a run for the House of Delegates.

Focus on the Message
Joe Charlebois
Celebration of family and celebration of life are not family values, they are views filled with hate and discrimination. Huh?

A REVIEW – Another “Oklahoma”
Roy Meachum
The lovely musical about my father’s native state set Broadway on fire. “Oklahoma” was not only a record-breaking hit; it also set the pattern for shows that followed. “In the Heights” looks ready to pull off the same trick.

It's time for a BUDGET Revolt
Joan McIntyre
The Frederick County Board of Education was offered a solution to overcrowded schools and they refused it. It even went so far as to sidestep any meaningful conversation, citing a lack of agenda notice and preparation.

Baltimore City Turns Conservative
Chris Cavey
Even on the toughest streets of Baltimore City the blanket of snow, which buried the city, seemed to make it appear clean and pure. The police department reported that the heavy snowfall caused crime to decrease and it simultaneously taught the citizens of Baltimore a lesson on economics – conservatism.

A REVIEW – Shakespeare Theatre’s Triumphal Pair
Roy Meachum
Shakespeare’s history is not to be trusted. He remains true to his profession as storyteller, feeling free to fudge on petty details; sometimes he manages whopping lies, as long as the ending comes out to accord with factual truths. Washington’s Shakespeare Theatre Company has a pair of doozies currently running in repertory: Richard II and Henry V.

Sarasota Snowbird
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Sarasota FL – The Orioles’ pitchers and catchers took the field last Thursday for the first day of spring training in their new training facilities in Sarasota after spending the pre-season the last 14 years in Fort Lauderdale.

Of The Past and Present….
Tom McLaughlin
Lake Toba, Sumatra Island, Indonesia – The largest volcanic crater lake in the world did not make much of an impression. Comparing it to the huge, crystal clear bodies of water in Canada, I realized, later, (don’t we always realize things later?) there can be no comparison between bodies of water on one side of the world in the very northern hemisphere to one on the opposite just along the equator.

Laura Russell looks positively dashing in her “Cat in the Hat” chapeau at William Winchester Elementary School in Westminster MD on March 1, 2010.

She was among about a dozen local dignitaries, retired teachers and other civic-minded persons put together last Monday, by the Woman's Club of Westminster, for “Read Across America” day, which celebrates Dr. Seuss’s birthday every year by reading to school children and distributing books.

Governor O'Malley Declares March as "Read Across Maryland" Month

Reads to Germantown Elementary First Graders at Annapolis Public Library, Honors National Education Association's "Read Across America" Day - http://www.governor.maryland.gov/pressreleases/100301.asp

ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 1, 2010) –Governor Martin O’Malley today read to first graders from Germantown Elementary at Annapolis Public Library and, together with the Maryland State Education Association (MSEA) President Clara Floyd, proclaimed the month of March “Read Across Maryland” month, in honor of “Read Across America” day. Governor O’Malley and Ms. Floyd were joined by Maryland Library Association Vice President Glennor Shirley, Annapolis Mayor Joshua Cohen, Anne Arundel County Public Schools Superintendent Kevin Maxwell, and Tim Mennuti, president of the Teachers Association of Anne Arundel County.

“It is an honor to be here today with students from Germantown Elementary,” said Governor O’Malley. “With our number one ranking in education by Education Week for a second year in a row, Maryland is in a unique position to serve as a national model for quality public education. For the second year, we are declaring March as ‘Read Across Maryland Month’ to encourage our children to read and learn not just this month, but all year long. Working together with educators, our public libraries, and families across Maryland, we can instill a thirst for knowledge in our children that will help them achieve their dreams.”


“Read Across America” day is celebrated every year in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, on March 2nd. Maryland’s public school students will be treated to readings by community leaders, elected officials, published authors and educators to celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the creation of the Cat in the Hat and what would have been Dr. Seuss’ 107th birthday. Educators, local education associations and other organizations will embrace the celebration of reading with special events and programs in classrooms, museums, restaurants, libraries, shopping centers and malls. This year, the program has expanded to include a partnership with the Maryland Library Association, with a theme of “30 for 30,” a challenge to parents, teachers, and students to read 30 minutes every day for 30 days for the month of March.

Flags promoting the program will be seen flying in downtown Annapolis, and the 14 Annapolis-area schools will designate special “Read Across Maryland” reading shelves in their libraries. The Governor and members of his cabinet will join MSEA leaders for classroom visits and reading assemblies at select schools across the state during the month of March.

Governor speaking to children“This reading initiative is about everyone working together to develop strong readers from a very early age,’ says Clara Floyd, president of MSEA. “Through collaboration with the Governor, educators, parents, and community leaders, we believe we can be more successful in creating the best learning experience for our students.”


“Reading early and often plays an enormous role in development of the brain, and reading comprehension is critically important for a well-trained workforce,” County Executive Leopold said. “Anne Arundel County Public Schools and Anne Arundel County libraries work very hard to foster reading at an early age. I hope all Marylanders will take advantage of Read Across America and this month’s Read Across Maryland as an opportunity to introduce themselves and their children to a whole new world.”


“I look forward every year to the chance to gather with students and share my love for reading whenever I can,” said Dr. Kevin M. Maxwell, Superintendent of Anne Arundel County Public Schools. “This event is not only an opportunity to do that, but to honor one of the great authors of all time. I appreciate the Governor continuing to take his time to help our students to help them in their endeavors.”


“I love to read, whether it's a novel, a biography or children stories to my kids at bedtime,” Mayor Joshua J. Cohen said. “Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) said it best when he was quoted, ‘I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ I want to thank Governor O’Malley and the Maryland State Education Association for creating a venue for children that allows them to feel the power of the written word.”

For the second year in a row, Education Week, the nation’s leading education newspaper, ranked Maryland #1 in public school systems across the nation. Since the O’Malley-Brown Administration took office, State funding for local school systems has increased $1.2 billion, or 27%, while increasing general fund support for K-12 education by almost $400 million. The O’Malley-Brown Administration has made a record $5.7 billion investment in our public schools over the last four years. Even in difficult times, Governor O’Malley’s FY 2011 budget supports the progress of Maryland’s children, teachers, and parents in the nation’s #1 ranked public school system. The FY 2011 budget fully funds the Geographic Cost of Education Index to address regional differences in educational costs; includes a $92.4 million or 12% increase in teacher and librarian pensions, bringing the total to $866.7 million; nearly doubles the State’s investment in school construction and renovations, providing over $1.2 billion in four years; and increases public education funding by $189 million.

Reading Horton Hatches the Egg for Dr. Seuss day http://www.thetentacle.com/ http://tinyurl.com/yhjlut8 http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3633

March 3, 2010 Horton Hatches the Egg Kevin E. Dayhoff

Yesterday was the 107th birthday of Theodor Geisel from Springfield, MA. I say with a smile, my little crocodile, you may know him better as an early trendsetter, as the good Dr. Seuss, you may deduce, because I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. To you I’m so faithful one-hundred percent.

Yes, boys and girls, Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904. After he attended Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. He published his first children's book, “And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street,” in 1937.

However, it was his book, “The Cat in the Hat,” that really earned him a place in literary history 53 years ago. Dr. Seuss went on to publish 44 children's books, win the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, in addition to three Academy Awards, before his death in 1991.

And so it was, I say because, last Monday I celebrated his birthday early, you must know surely – with his 1940 classic “Horton Hatches the Egg.”

Please don’t complain as I attempt to explain.

The day began early for me as I found myself at William Winchester Elementary School in Westminster. I was among about a dozen local volunteers that day to help celebrate “Read Across America” day, which is celebrated every year in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday.
