Schrodel farm condemnation case returns to court fight
The Frederick County condemnation battle over the Schrodel farm on Reichs Ford Road tightens as the county seeks the couple’s appraisal of the 230 acres. William and Kathleen Schrodel refuse to provide an assessed value, arguing the county’s 1.8 million appraisal is far below fair market value. The county attorney says delays persist with court filings, while the Schrodels press for another appraisal from their chosen appraiser Lennhoff, who allegedly failed to complete the report.

Baker reports progress in talks with Gorbachev
Secretary of State James Baker II said progress but no agreement on reducing strategic weapons after two rounds of talks with Mikhail Gorbachev. He met Lithuanian leader Kazimiera Prunskiene before resuming discussions with Eduard Shevardnadze. The goal is an accord ahead of the May 31 to June 3 summit with President Bush in Washington, though gaps remain on air and sea launched cruise missiles and other arms. The Kremlin leader warned the goal may not be met, while Baker stressed ongoing dialogue with hopes for settlement.

Frederick County school board offer labeled as fair by farmer
Frederick County superintendent Noel T. Farmer Jr issued a May 15 letter explaining the board’s 6.5 percent pay hike and health premium stance amid impasse with the Frederick County Teachers Association over a 7 percent demand plus step increases. He cites budget limits and argues many teachers would still see sizable gains, while FCTA cites underpayment of senior staff and unequal step increases as core issues driving talks toward arbitration.
