QAC rejects proposed gas station setback changes after public pushback

CENTREVILLE — The Queen Anne’s County Commissioners approved several text amendments, including increasing Suburban Commercial District density and adding new accessory dwelling unit provisions, while rejecting a 75-foot variance for gas stations Nov. 10. Following extensive debate and public comment, commissioners voted 3-2 to reject a citizen-sponsored text amendment proposing to alter county code to allow the Board of Appeals to grant a variance permitting the distance between a gas station entrance or exit and an intersection to be no less than 75 feet. Public comment urged against the amendment, raising concerns for traffic safety. While the proposed ordinance changes would apply countywide, the amendment was initially introduced on behalf of a property owner proposing a gas station at Maryland Route 405 and U.S. Route 301 along Price Road, a site public commenters noted to the commissioners as notoriously dangerous and the location of numerous crashes. Attorney Brendan Mullaney, speaking on behalf of the applicant, argued that the amendment would allow applicants to seek a variance through the Board of Appeals in extraordinary circumstances rather than explicitly reducing the 100-foot setback. The amendment would maintain all existing variance criteria and would not guarantee project approval, he said. Regarding safety concerns

Democrats sweep Kent commissioner seats: With final count, Shoge, Carroll and Bench defeat all three Republican incumbents

CHESTERTOWN — Democrats Sam Shoge, John Carroll and Thad Bench won all three Kent County commissioner seats, defeating Republican incumbents John Price, Albert Nickerson and Ron Fithian. Shoge received 4,352 votes, followed by Carroll with 4,039 and Bench with 4,003. Price received 3,883 votes, Nickerson had 3,840 and Fithian had 3,717. Bench finished 120 votes ahead of Price for the third seat. The outcome reversed the election night standings, when the three incumbents held the top spots before mail-in and provisional ballots were added. Commissioner-elect Carroll thanked supporters, volunteers and donors. “It was a full sweep. We swept all three seats of the county commissioners here in Kent County, and I'm just so excited and so humbled by this,” Carroll said. “I am so thankful, and I can't wait to get started, get to work, and make big things happen. I am here to work for you, Kent County.” Shoge also said he was “thrilled” by the outcome. In a statement Friday, Price congratulated the winners and thanked his fellow commissioners, county employees, family and supporters. “I have truly enjoyed serving as a Commissioner and I am very proud of our accomplishments over the last four years,” Price said.

High school graduations will remain at the Bob Carpenter Center

ELKTON — Cecil County Public Schools will once again hold its graduation ceremonies at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Del. Two members of the Cecil County School Board voted against it Wednesday evening, but were outvoted with a 3-2 nod in favor of spending $58,590 to rent the Bob Carpenter Center for the 2027 graduations. Joe Ferdinando and Brian Hampton — this was Hampton’s final meeting — voted against the expense, with Hampton noting that coming budget cuts from the state means CCPS might need those funds elsewhere, including a shortage of teacher assistants in kindergarten classes. (Sheila Tome defeated Hampton for the District 4 seat. Hawley decided not to seek re-election. Grant Handley won her seat. Joe Ferdinando and challenger Dominick Mannella are separated by less than 2 percentage points. That race will be determined by a final tally with all ballots counted sometime Friday according to Gary Holmes, chief of the Cecil County Board of Elections) Superintendent Jeffrey Lawson said the individual schools budget about $7,000 on average for the ceremony regardless, so having it off site only adds about $20,000 to the CCPS budget. “Already on the budget doesn’t mean it should be spent,” Ferdinando said.

Walk of Honor celebrates veterans at Elkton Middle School

ELKTON — Students and staff at Elkton Middle School lined the hallways Wednesday morning, American flags in hand, and cheered as U.S. military veterans walked past. Jilene Orman, community school advisor, said this was the first year the school on North Street invited veterans to the school for the Walk of Honor. “It was an honor making everyone feel special,” Orman said after the line of veterans representing several generations and branches of service, accompanied by a student from the school — in most cases their child, grandchild or godchild — walked through the halls. Some of the students presented the veterans with handwritten thank you cards from the 6th grade. “It meant a lot to me,” said Cory Fairfield. He made the Walk of Honor accompanied by his son Bryce, 12, and his daughter Lyric, 3. “I wanted to show my son I served this country and that he can serve too,” he said. Fairfield was in the Army from 2011 to 2013, serving in the 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment. “It was awesome,” said Michael Wolf, who served in the Marine Corps from 2004 to 2008. The corporal’s service included deployment to Iraq, where he worked in vehicle

Perryville ceremony celebrates military veterans

PERRYVILLE — Of the more than 300 million Americans in this country, only 1 percent of them have served, will serve, or are serving in the U.S. military. U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jason J. Horton provided that statistic Wednesday while serving as the keynote speaker during the Veterans Day ceremony at Perryville American Legion Susquehanna Post 135. So while the vast majority of Americans possess a general awareness of the sacrifices made by servicemen and servicewomen, that 99 percent hasn’t and never will experience how those day-in-day-out sacrifices feel to those in uniform. Those sacrifices aren’t made only by military men and military women serving around the globe — some of them in harm’s way during conflicts — but by those carrying out their duties stateside. And one of the hardest and most common sacrifices is spending long periods of time away from family, according to Horton who, is stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground and serves as senior technical advisor to Portfolio Management Executive Command and Control Information Network. Horton told attendees that, at the 25-year mark in his military career, he finds himself living back in the barracks for the next two years because of his latest
