    Editor;

    As a member o the Middle-town Planning Commission oralmost three years I am horriedthat in an eort to remove MarkDavis rom the Commission, theCommission has been accused ononeasance at a public meetingby Mr. Brown. Tis accusationcomes with no evidence, muchless documentation. AdditionallyMr. Brown expected the ownCouncilors to decide on the re-placement o an extremely valu-able Commission member with noprior discussion. One councilor

    has questioned Mr. Browns ethicsand I agree.Te job o the Planning Com-

    mission is to research and advise.We do not make policy. o an-swer the accusations: We haveaddressed the ComprehensivePlan update. See the minutes.We were given the CIP to com-ment on and we did just that. Seethe minutes. Te creation o theby-laws governing the behavioro the Planning Commission wascrucial or the Commission to dealwith past ethics questions. Mr.Brown has sneered at this as notworthwhile.

    Te job o liaison is to orwardtasks rom the Council to Com-mission and return results. Asar as I am concerned Mr. Davishas done this satisactorily. Terehave been no complaints romCouncil. Te liaison does not runthe Planning Commission. Mr.Davis has been through VirginiaCertication or planning com-missioners. His replacement hasnot, nor has he voiced an intentionto do so. Mr. Davis has tirelesslyresearched issues and providedvaluable ramework or those is-sues the Commission has beentasked with.

    Mr. Brown states that the Plan-ning Commission has the respon-sibility to set priorities that reectthose o this administration. No;a Planning Commission shouldhave a good working relationshipwith its own Council. But agood working relationship doesnot mean unctioning as a pup-pet organization. Independenceo viewpoint is essential, and ourpriorities are set by the Compre-

    hensive Plan, not by the admin-istration.

    Mr. Brown has eliminated avery dedicated, educated, inde-pendent, strong member o thePlanning Commission and in-serted one who will not providethe expertise, man hours andinterest the planning commissiondeserves. (Te replacement hasbeen to no planning meetings orthe last two years.)

    Mr. Browns ravings about thepossible boundary adjustmenthave absolutely nothing to do withMr. Davis or Planning Commis-sion. I there is a ailure to com-

    municate with the County it is notthe Commissions or Mr. Davis.I considered resigning in protest

    but we have done so many goodthings while I have been a memberthat I dont want it to drain awaydue to lack o interest and lazy,backward thinking.

    I stated in my citizens commentto council Monday night that thereplacement o Mr. Davis was amistake. I now consider it an eorto megalomania by a mayor I haveno trust in to guide Middletowninto a strong uture.

    Correction: Te stories on pages 7 and 10 o the previous issue(Vol. IV, Iss. 1) were in act written by Jonathan Lucci, notJonathanBennett.

    Monitor Body TemperatureInants less than one year old should never sleep in a cold room

    because (1) inants lose body heat more easily than adults; and (2)unlike adults, inants cant make enough body heat by shivering.Provide warm clothing or inants and try to maintain a warm in-door temperature. I the temperature cannot be maintained, maketemporary arrangements to stay elsewhere. In an emergency, youcan keep an inant warm using your own body heat. I you mustsleep, take precautions to prevent rolling on the baby. Pillows andother sot bedding can also present a risk o smothering; removethem rom the area near the baby.

    Older adults oten make less body heat because o a slower me-tabolism and less physical activity. I you are over 65 years o age,check the temperature in your home oten during severely coldweather. Also, check on elderly riends and neighbors requentlyto ensure that their homes are adequately heated.

    By Jonathan BennettFrederick County Report

    Ever been to the Museum othe Shenandoah Valley? No? Meeither. But Im going this Fridaynight, and heres why.

    Te Museum is oering a serieso tours known as Galleries atNight on Friday, January 12th.Tere are three tours, the rst be-ginning at six oclock, ollowed byone at seven and the last at eight.Ater the rst and second tours,

    the Dixie Rhythm jazz band willplay orty-ve minute sets in theReception Hall. Te Museum Cawill be open or dinner, and therewill be wine or sale in the lobby.Yes. Art and live jazz and wine.he olks at the Museum haveunwittingly aided my 2012 resolu-tion to appear more sophisticatedthan I actually might be. PerhapsIll wear a monacle

    Indeed. While the Museumsmain structure, the Glen BurnieHistoric House, is closed orrenovations until 2014, its uniqueand abundant collection o objetsdeart will be rotated into the Mu-seum galleries. Much o the core

    collection is the vision o JulianWood Glass Jr., a descendant osurveyor James Wood (kind oa big name in these parts.) Glassturned the house into a countryretreat, subsequently transorm-ing the surrounding landscapeinto the Glen Burnie Gardens.Just beore his death in 1992, hecreated the Glass-Glen BurnieFoundation and commissionedthe assembly o the Museum,which opened in 2005.

    As or Friday (and practicallyevery other day), three o the our

    main galleries in eleven roomswill be open. he ShenandoahValley gallery oers an overviewo Valley history rom the 1700s tothe present. Visitors can immersethemselves in the history o thevalley with an interactive mediadisplay allowing them to recordtheir own stories and experiencesin the context o the ShenandoahValley. Tis unofcial beginningo the tour presents a multi-mediaoverview o the local geographyand the areas rst settlers lead-ing up to the region we call home

    today. Te works o more thansixty artists are displayed here.

    lery houses the woty more artists dthe mid-eighteent

    Re-creations of histori-

    cal kitchens are displayed

    Te reworks started right away atMondays Middletown own Coun-cil meeting. During the CitizensComment period, Susan Chewningchastised the Council or many oits recent actions. Ms. Chewningquestioned why the ourteen percentwater rate increase was being passedon to the citizens, when the citizenswere already paying more than thecost o water to the own; why theown hired a mechanic, and whetherthe own was going to invest in tools

    or the mechanic; what money wasbeing received and where it was go-ing when the own loaned out thedrug-snifng dog, the bilingual policeofcer, or the mechanic; and why noone knew about the last election tothe Council until they went to votein November.

    Ms. Chewning said she had calledthe Frederick County Sheris De-partment and was told that there wasno Mutual Support Agreement asreported in this paper. Ms. Chewningsaid the Council was not working to-gether to support the citizens; that theconstant bickering was botheringpeople; and that people were embar-rassed by the conduct o the Council.Finally, Ms. Chewning said a lot o

    people in own are discussing dis-solving the own Charter all together.

    She then thanked the Council or allo their hard work at a difcult job.

    Anita Holley, a member o thePlanning Commission, then spokeregarding her experiences workingwith Councilor Mark H. Davis as theliaison to the Planning Commission.Ms. Holley said Councilor Davis isa perectionist, that occasionallymakes her crazy, but that he has donea signicant amount o work or thePlanning Commission. CouncilorDavis, according to Ms. Holley, isorganized and trained as a planningcommissioner. Ms. Holley eels thatlosing Councilor Davis rom the Plan-

    ning Commission would be a verylarge mistake.

    Ms. Holley said most o the ownsordinances date rom the 1970s and1980s. he Planning Commissionneeds orward thinking people, ac-

    cording to Ms. Holley, not people whothink in the past with no changes.

    Ms. Holleys comments becameclear when about midway throughthe meeting Mayor Mark Brownbegan reading a prepared statement,requesting that the Council appointCouncilor John W. Blaisdell, Jr. to bethe liaison to the Planning Commis-sion, replacing Councilor Davis. (Seesidebar.) As the Mayor read his state-ment, Councilor Carl H. Bernhards,Jr. called out Point o Order! TeMayor said let me nish, when theMayor inished he asked or com-ments. Councilor Bernhards said, at

    which side would you like to start?Mayor Brown turned to CouncilorBernhards and said I will warn youone time: use decorum, and act like acouncilor.

    Councilor Davis deended himsel

    by saying that the Mayor will notspeak with the Chair o the PlanningCommission. Councilor Davis said hehas been threatened with law suits bythe Mayor over actions taken by thePlanning Commission. CouncilorDavis was shocked to hear that theReliance Road boundary adjustmentwas threatened by a lack o action bythe Planning Commission. Te Coun-cilor said that the Planning Com-

    mission provided thetwo pages o thorougrecommendations proposed boundary awas surprised when hthe Mayor never passommendations to theCommittee. CounciloMayor never requestedthe Commission.

    Code, the Comprehensive Plan mustbe reviewed every ve years, accord-ing to Councilor Davis. here islots o stu that is conusing in thePlan but there are no real problems,said the Councilor. Councilor Davis

    stated that no one is interested inthe Comprehensive Plan, unless it isused against someone. Te Councilorsaid the Commission is updating thePlan with new statistics, and remov-ing excess. Te only people to cite theplan have been Councilors Davis andBernhards.

    Davis believes that as liaison, hisduty is to bring action items romthe Council to the Commission.Middletown paid or Davis trainingas a planner. Councilor Davis insistedhe is doing a good job.

    Councilor Donna M. G. Gray toldthe Council that she will no longerbe orced to vote on matters withoutdiscussion. Mayor Brown wants toenorce his own agenda. Councilor

    Gray called Mayor Browns actions anunethical practice, and asked, Whyallow a dictatorship?

    Councilor Gilbert Barringtonweighed into the debate saying thatall Ive seen since being on Councilis one side or the other. He said hisinterest is not personal; its or thisown.

    Charles H. Harbaugh, IV askedCouncilor Blaisdell, who had re-mained silent on the issue, whatchanges he would make i he wereappointed. Councilor Blaisdell said hewould do what needs to be done togo orward, . . . so the own can growand prosper and be realistic.

    Councilor Bernhards waded intothe ray next. He said there wereno discussions prior to the meeting;there was only email trafc. He saidonly one o his three simple questionshad been answered. Te Councilorsaid Councilor Blaisdell never ex-pressed any interest in the PlanningCommission and that as Chair o thePlanning and Zoning Committee henever attended any meetings o theCommission.

    Councilor Bernhards questioned,why replace the liaison, when theown paid or Councilor Davistraining. He questioned whetherCouncilor Blaisdell would pay hisown way to the training class. Heclaimed that Councilor Davis was upto date on what needs to be done; he

    questioned the judgment o replacinga well trained Council member whohas attended every meeting or thelast ten years. Finally, he said the votewas out o order and wrong.

    Te Council voted on the Mayors

    motion, with Councilors Barringtonand Blaisdell voting yes, CouncilorsGray and Harbaugh abstaining, andCouncilors Bernhards and Davis vot-ing no. In casting the deciding vote,the Mayor noted that the Council wasdivided. Will this Council ever cometogether? No. Te Mayor voted to re-place Councilor Davis with CouncilorBlaisdell. Councilor Gray commentedthat we do not do this; it is ugly andwrong. Te Mayor retorted that hediscussed this a year ago, and anemail went out a week in advance.

    Te discussion was equally vitriolicwhen discussing the ourteen percentincrease in the water bill rom Win-chester which is supposed to takeeect on June 1st. Councilor Gray

    opened the discussion by saying thatshe acknowledged the need to passon the increase; however, she believesthat charging the increase two monthsin advance burdens the citizens underalse pretenses. She summed up her view by saying the action was notkosher.

    Councilor Davis opposed the mo-tion as moved, saying that to increasethe water rates ourteen percentmeans that everyone should pay $.66more per one thousand gallons owater without any special categoriesor those who would pay more asproposed. According to CouncilorDavis research, the pass-along willbe paying or the sewage system sincethe water system is in the black; thesewer system is in the red. Te Coun-cilor believes there needs to be a rateadjustment or the sewer system.

    Councilor Bernhards agreed withCouncilor Davis. Te Councilor saidhe could not gure out where someo the numbers in the proposal camerom. He had wanted to discuss thegures at the last meeting but theywere not discussed. He reused to voteor the proposal as written.

    Mayor Brown responded that theown receives revenue rom veryew sources; the revenue rom thewater helps to pay or everything inown. Making calculations on what tocharge or water is very complicated;proessionals charge approximately

    $8,000 to come in to a town and calcu-late the current cost o the water. Tecalculation includes water rates, costs,prots, and the replacement o equip-ment down the road. Te Mayor saidthe national average cost o water is

    $125 per month. Last year, the costincrease was implemented late, so theown lost money. Te Mayor believesthe solution is to become water inde-pendent.

    Councilors Blaisdell and Bar-rington were the sole yes votes sothe motion ailed. Councilor Graycommented that the Council neededto curb spending. A visibly upsetMayor stated that the approvedbudget was predicated on the waterincrease and that we cannot operatelike this; we will need to start shuttingdown services.

    At the end o the meeting, Coun-cilor Bernhards proposed revising thewater rate increase proposal to a atourteen percent increase to begin

    on June 1st. his proposal passedwith only Councilor Gray voting no.Tere will be a public hearing on thewater rate increase on February 13that 6:30 pm.

    Another heated topic was the audito the own. Councilor Bernhardsmoved to make the audit bi-annual.Councilor Gray, who has consistentlybrought up the topic o the audit andits lack o timeliness called the moveto a bi-annual calendar disturbing,and irresponsible, claiming thereare discrepancies on inancials.Councilor Gray said she was told the2009/10 audit had to be completedbeore the 2010/11 audit could begin.Now, they want to move to a bi-an-nual schedule.

    Mayor Brown responded that, bylaw, towns with 3500 or more citizensneeded to have an annual audit. Oth-erwise, the ederal government saysthere must be an audit every threeyears. Audits generally cost $14,000,so by moving to a bi-annual schedule,the own will save $7,000 a year. I adiscrepancy is ound in the audit, theaudit or the next year will start im-mediately.

    Councilor Davis agreed with Coun-cilor Gray, saying there were lots odelays. One delay was the Councilsconscious decision to go with a newauditing rm or a resh set o eyes.he new auditors have been veryslow.

    own Manager Joan Roche is send-ing a letter to the auditors requestinga report by the end o next week.Councilor Bernhards pointed out thathe requested the vote to move to a bi-annual schedule be postponed until

    ater receiving the auditors reportbut was denied. Councilor Gray votedno to the motion.

    Councilor Harbaugh presented amotion to support local events andprograms or the 200th anniversaryo the War o 1812. According tothe resolution, there were some 73armed encounters with the Britishthat took place in Virginia during thewar, and Virginians actively oughtin Maryland, Virginia, and Ohioand in naval engagements and anestimated 70,000 Virginians served.Councilor Davis objected to commit-ting Middletown to undened localevents and programs, and votedagainst the motion.

    Te Mayor and Councilors Bern-

    hards and Gray had a very testy non-discussion about an ordinance thatCouncilor Gray wanted to report onas Chair o the Ordinance Committee.As Councilor Gray began to makeher report, the Mayor shut her down,saying No. Tis is not on the agenda .Councilor Gray retorted that she iscontinuously ignored and brushedo when working on ordinances.

    It has been a busy and crucialseven days in the race or the nom-ination o the Republican Partyor the Presidency. Last week inIowa, in one o the closest primaryelections in American history,ormer Massachusetts GovernorMitt Romney nished in rst placeby a mere eight votes, edging outormer Pennsylvania Senator RickSantorum. Eight votes, out o acombined sixty thousand betweenSantorum and Romney, separatedthe two when the nal precinctwas counted in the early morninghours o Wednesday. And last

    night, Romney scored a decisivevictory in the New Hampshire pri-mary, a result widely expected butstill evident o his strength goingorward into the next ew races.

    In Iowa, Santorum hadsurged quickly in the nal weeko the race, seemingly coming outo nowhere and capitalizing on theall o conservatives like Rick Perryand Newt Gingrich. Ron Paulinished a strong third, despitesome entrance polls that indicatedhe was headed or a second placenish. His movement shows nosigns o slowing down, indeed

    his rallies are some o the mostenergy-illed o the campaign.

    Gingrich nished ourth, ater anindependent SuperPAC that sup-ports but is not directly controlledby Mitt Romney aired a barrage onegative ads at the ormer Speaker,whom Romneys campaign sees asa more dangerous rival than San-torum or Paul. Gingrich launcheda scathing attack on Mitt Romney

    ater the Iowa votes and promiseda larger emphasis on contrasting

    his record rom Romneys.Meanwhile, conserva-tive Rick Perry sounded like hewas going to exit the race, as hedeclared he was returning to exasto reect on paths orward. Tosewords usually precede a dropoutspeech, but Perry shocked evensome o his own advisers the nextday when he indicated he wouldbe campaigning in South Caro-lina which votes next on January21st. ea party avorite MichelleBachmann nished behind Perryand did bow to the pressure andwithdrew rom the race.

    he last week in New

    Hampshire has essentially servedas a coronation o sorts or MittRomney as the primary winner,as his New England roots and im-age as a moderate play very wellin a state like New Hampshire.Some o the more conservativetendencies in his opponents, par-ticularly Gingrich and Santorum,

    did not play well at all here butboth o them are looking orward

    on the likely GOP nominee.However, Newt Gingrich

    is seemingly out or revenge orwhat he believes was a unneces-sarily negative campaign in Iowa.A Super PAC that backs him

    has launched a blistering nega-tive campaign against Romneysbusiness background, seeking toportray him as a cold and ruthlessexecutive. Romney did himselno avors during a recent healthcare speech, saying that he likes

    to be able to re people, a remarkmeant to be about insurance com-panies and not workers, but also aremark easily taken out o contextin a very damaging way by his op-ponents.

    As Gingrich savagesRomney and Perry likely ol-lows suit in an attempt to stophis momentum, Rick Santorumcould capitalize on his Iowa per-ormance and engage with a veryconservative electorate in South

    Carolina. It is an evangelical elec-torate, while Santorum is a devoutCatholic, but he shares the view omost South Carolina Republicanson the big social issues. Tis isan area where Romney, who has

    changed his mind several timeson the issue o the abortion, couldnd it difcult to end o attacks.He will try to keep the ocus on theeconomy and President Obama.Meanwhile, President Obamasadvisers are watching closely andits obvious rom their negative adsabout Romney that they believehe is the most dangerous andmost likely Republican to gain thenomination. What they wouldlove to see is a bloody politicalknie ght that drags through thespring and ractures the Republi-

    can party while Obamas approvalratings slowly improve and heraises an amazing amount omoney. South Carolina may wellhold the answer: a Romney win

    Te playos are here and Bal-timore Ravens ans now knowwho their beloved team will ace.Having earned a rst round byeand homeeld advantage in therst round by winning the AFCNorth division, the Ravens wereable to sit back and watch to see

    who their opponent would be.Te Houston exans deeated theCincinnati Bengals and will visitBaltimore in an attempt to getthe upset and head to the AFCchampionship game. Dont beton it.

    Te Ravens take into the playogame a smothering deense, asusual led by veteran Ray Lewis.Tey nished the regular seasonas the second best deense whenit came to stopping the run, andthe exans ran the ball quite abit more than they passed it intheir winning eort against the

    Bengals. Stopping the run is key,as the exans inished secondin the NFL in rushing yards butpossess a more mediocre passingoense.

    Another key to the game will bethe play o Joe Flacco. Te Ravenshave oten had great talent andseemingly should have won aSuper Bowl in the past ew years,but always lacked the answer atquarterback that other teams likethe Patriots and the Steelers pos-sess. Joe Flacco is an exceptionalquarterback, without a doubt.What is in dispute is whetherhe can step up in the playos,

    something he has not necessarilyshown in the past, at least not inthe clutch way a Ben Roethlis-berger or Aaron Rodgers have.I he cant the Ravens will nd ithard to beat the exans, and evenmore difcult to win a likely AFCchampionship battle with the rstseeded New England Patriots.Te dierence between a greatteam and a championship teamin the modern NFL is very much

    an elite quarterback.For other residents o Frederick

    County, those who wear the blackand gold o Pittsburgh, this wasa more depressing week as theycame to terms with the act that

    their Steelers dropped an expect-ed victory in the wild-card to imebow and the Denver Broncos.he controversial ebow, whohad an up and down season andoccasionally proved critics o

    his throwing mechanics wrong,led the Broncos to an overtimewin. And just as shocking as theSteelers deeat is that they weredeeated in large part by the armo im ebow, not considered

    a strong passer. His intangibleabilities as a leader, however, areunquestioned and the victory hasput people on notice that he iscertainly not going away.

    Animal AdvocatesDEAR PAWS CORNER: I

    recently read on your website abouta North Carolina county boardthat wanted to disallow adoptionsof certain dog breeds from its shel-ter. The proposal was defeatedthanks to a huge public outcry, butwhat about other rulings that dontget as much publicity? How do wefind out about them, and how canwe get enough public support tostop unfair pet laws? Jane in

    Missouri

    DEAR JANE: Its great that youreconcerned and want to be more activein the area of pet legislation. The

    North Carolina case was a classicexample of legislators (or in this case,a county board) proposing pet laws

    based upon popular but often inaccu-rate information, particularly aboutbully breeds (pit bulls, Doberman

    pinschers, etc). The county boardshelved its proposal after receivingtens of thousands of emails and fac-ing a packed house of dog owners,rescuers and other advocates at its

    board meeting.Getting started can be as simple as

    an Internet search. Major organiza-tions such as the Humane Society ofthe United States, the SPCA (Soci-ety for the Prevention of Cruelty toAnimals) and growing organizationslike the No-Kill Advocacy Center aregood websites to start with. You oftencan find local chapters or local advo-cacy organizations through largernonprofits websites.

    Facing down local legislators is just one facet of animal advocacy.If you want to learn more about pro-tecting pets, pick up Defending theDefenseless: A Guide to Protecting

    and Advocating for Pets, by AlliePhillips (Rowman and Littlefield).Phillips is an attorney and animal-rights advocate, and her book is

    packed with information on waysyou can become more active.
