The Frederick Brewing Company debuted an $8 million facility spanning 57 000 square feet in Wedgewood Business Park near Md 85. The bulk of its $3 8 million equipment is American made with stainless tanks and automated bottling systems. Start up was delayed by moisture in a control board but will resume next month as skilled staff receive advanced training.
A columnist argues that repeated appeals to overturn verdicts create a trend toward “rebound justice.” He links Simpson Goetz King and Brooklyn murder cases to racial tensions, urging Americans to abandon revenge as justice and reexamine the balance between liberty and fairness.
The News-Post column argues for a smaller military and reevaluated leadership due to hazing and rape concerns. It claims women and gays threaten unit cohesion and asserts combat roles should stay male-dominated, citing Israel as a model and praising rugged training and shared danger.
James M. Reilley argues women should be limited to low risk military duties and criticizes front line service and combat roles. He challenges liberal politicians, urges Fort Detrick education comparisons, decries hazing, and honors Frederick servicemen at Memorial Park in a forceful letter from Great Airey.
The News-Post reports an upcoming move to address hazardous fire conditions in Montevue, including a tentative meeting between Frederick County Commissioners and four city fire chiefs. Also noted are the Maryland National Guard reorganization ceremony in Frederick, Chaplain Barker's trucker mobile chapel, Moonies soliciting in the city under legal permits, and a Kay Jewelers incident where a thief attempted a display case pry but nothing was taken.
A local citizen argues that overcrowded schools and roads stem from developers and annexers rather than city officials. The piece ridicules the idea of blaming others and warns about rapid growth by big corporations, suggesting annexation could turn Clover Hill into an island and critiquing growth-driven politics.
A Frederick News-Post letter questions Alderman Frances Baker’s claim of a holistic city approach if elected mayor. The writer criticizes her switch to the Democratic Party and links holistic governance to big government and tax policies, suggesting the idea implies thriftless spending.
Jaime Lynn Fox criticizes the Democratic Party for secular education policies and perceived moral decline, while defending the Miss America scholarship program and its emphasis on community service. The letter argues Ms. Babcock judges superficially and promotes Americanism through veterans' programs, contrasting with patriarchal views.
Lisa Babcock urges discarding beauty contests from Sunburst USA to Miss America. A local Miss America titleholder counters with personal experience showing scholarships and competition extend beyond mere looks. The writer notes four years as a titleholder and $19,000 in Maryland scholarships toward education.
Lisa Babcock's Feb 8 letter condemns child beauty pageants and Grade concerns about judging young girls. She extends disgust toward men as perceived drivers of such contests, arguing social equality requires action and effort rather than passive critique.
