Voters Decide On Change To Maryland County Government
Voters at the University of Maryland confront a ballot question to replace the five commissioner system with a district elected council and executive. Charter backers argue it would boost local lawmaking and services, while critics warn of greater centralization and legislative courtesy by state lawmakers. The measure includes referendum and recall provisions to empower voters to oust officials.

Wolfsville Store Reflects Changing Mountain Community
In Wolfsville the Milton W. Barne store, a landmark since 1841, has become a barometer of change. The blue building at Md 17 and Stottlemeyer Road sees 250 daily visitors, with locals using it as a social hub from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week. Judith Harne recalls fewer era crowds but notes the store now focuses on essentials and greetings rather than a full range of goods.
