(Bel Air, MD – January 28, 2009) – - Harford County Government is alerting residents of the county of a scam being used as a ploy to enter homes for criminal purposes. The most recent attempt occurred in the Harford Estates development near Forest Hill.
As part of the scam, residents are being contacted by one or more individuals who identify themselves as employees of Harford County Water and Sewer. These individuals then indicate they must enter the home for some purpose such as to check your plumbing or to do a “toilet inspection”.

County Executive David R. Craig urges residents of the county not to let anyone in their homes on such pretense, because the Harford County Department of Public Works, nor Harford County Department of Inspections, Licenses and Permits do ...Continue Reading

I braved the weather and attended the community meeting seeking input on the search for the new Harford County Superintendent of Schools on Tuesday night at Fallston High School. I was one of four participants. Reports from Wednesday night’s meeting in Havre de Grace indicate that turnout was also in the single digits.
Was it the weather?
Or does access to the Internet change people’s calculations about schlepping to meetings when there are plenty of other places to be? After all, you can email a comment but as far as I know you can’t email your kid to basketball practice (oh, if only…)
With the Baltimore Examiner on the way out, where are we supposed to get our news now? the b? The Examiner may have been an object of derision among people looking for more than shallow sips of news, and from people adverse to a paper with a right-wing slant, but it brought some important things to the table in Baltimore.
For one thing, it brought another voice to a competition-starved market. For another, it offered job opportunities to relatively inexperienced writers and photographers. Unlike the Sun, it was a place where a Baltimore kid with a college degree and some experience in writing could get a job.
