Library seeks state funding to expand and improve county libraries
The Frederick County Library board plans to ask state legislators for help expanding library buildings and boosting funding. Barbara Marmet confirmed a meeting with the Frederick County delegation in Annapolis on January 23, and trustees emphasized the need for more state support and larger spaces. The group also discussed the Emmitsburg Community Center expansion to comply with ADA and lead paint removal, with cost-sharing decisions unsettled and a new "friends of the library" nonprofit to be formed to rally local support.

Scythes versus shears in the Herefordshire lawn debate
A nostalgic essay defends scythes as the manly tool for long grass, contrasts with modern gear like rotary mowers and strimmers, and laments the devaluation of manual labor. It traces historical use from Tudor and 19th century estates to today, noting mower tyranny and the impracticality of shears for banks and slopes.
