SMALL STREAMS AND DRAINAGE AREAS AT GREATEST RISK
NEWS
Spring fire season is in full swing in Harford County. Dry conditions between our Spring rains give way to quick spreading brush and woods fires. Maryland residents are prohibited from burning garbage and yard waste. Doing so may result in being ticketed. Residents can still have small recreational fires and barbecues on their property but not on balconies in apartment complexes. Rich Gardiner, spokesperson for Harford County Fire and EMS said common sense should always prevail when having an open flame outdoors. All recreational fires should be checked thoroughly and doused with water before leaving them unattended.

Didn’t we just have a coffee talk two weeks ago? Oh wait, it’s election season…
yes we had coffee talk two weeks ago. I am sure “Admiral” Jim is so excited to get free press. Where is coffee talk with his opponent? Again, I ask the question, why do we have to keep our Captain when the county council doesn’t have rank. I for one think Coach is a profession and not a place on a political sign. Still waiting.
“Capt” Jim always reminds me that old adage “all show and no go”! Isn’t it time we elected someone who actually does something for those who elected him and not just their cronies?! In fact isn’t time we elected folks to the county council who all actually do something for the citizens of this county and not just their cronies?
the good thing is they can get county jobs after they get off the council. They voted to take the ban off of being part of county government jobs. The one I really like, on the council, is Joe Woods. He is an honest man who serves his community and owns a business in Harford County. He is approachable and I’d like to see him for council president. Jim has not been so accessible. The only thing joe needs is a title….LOL
