The defeat of four term mayor Ronald Young and a strong Republican showing mark a shift in Frederick. Paul Gordon won with 55 percent to Young's 42 percent, as voters rejected polling optimism and chose a candidate they believed could best represent them.
Mike Royko argues that critics fault Deborah Norville’s promotion to TV morning host is due to sexism and looks. He asserts viewers prefer attractive anchors and cites Mel Gibson and Robert De Niro as ideal examples, urging acceptance of Norville’s position.
The State Department and the DEA shift from eradicating coca to agricultural development in Peru and Bolivia. At a Bolivian experimental farm, AID tests pepper, macadamia, coffee, and citrus to give campesinos legitimate crops. The approach, slower but potentially more effective, depends on years to bear fruit and continued U.S. support to reduce illicit coca cultivation.
U S agencies restart interdiction in Peru and Bolivia with fortified bases, targeting airstrips and laboratories rather than coca fields. Helicopters armed with M 60s face scrutiny over safety, while interagency cooperation grows, amid questions of aid to peasants. In Washington a power struggle emerges between NOW and NARAL over abortion rights versus broader feminist goals.
Police officer Reno Six risked injury shielding two North Market Surrey School pupils when a slowly moving car, whose brakes failed, shoved him into a street pole. The 7 year old Charles Triton and 6 year old David Silumenner escaped unharmed aside from minor injuries to Mr. Six and his right knee. No charges were filed. The rest of the page reports a Frederick typewriter theft victimization, con artists swindling a widow, Frederick Churches United forming with officers elected, and a Maryland commission investigation into race discrimination in county and city government employment.
Edward E Saugstad of Walkersville objects to Yvonne Small's Nov 1 letter praising diversity and criticizing Rush Limbaugh. He calls the program inflammatory and unprofessional and says he will switch away from WFMD if it continues, urging others to protest sponsors.
Frederick County Commissioner Sterling Bolinger and two colleagues voted to rezone 25 acres west of Middletown. Opponents decry the change as theft by condemnation and argue increased traffic and trash blight the area. They condemn the domino effect of the commissioners decisions and warn of broader impact.
Gene and Becky Burns of Frederick urge residents to oppose eminent domain expansion for a county landfill affecting the Schroder family’s 230 acres of prime farmland. They warn that forced loss of homes, livelihoods, and memories threatens the community’s future and call for protest to protect the land and heritage.
Conrad P Potemra argues Spurrier Avenue children and Poolesville residents face danger from ignored sidewalk needs and EPA consent decree violations. He cites $0 Spurrier Avenue sidewalk funding for 14 children eight and under, a $590,000 mayoral sidewalk allocation, and potential $600,000 EPA grant use while town tax rises burden every household. He warns of possible harm from speeding cars or a silting pond before action is taken.
