It urges residents to make sure they are registered to vote.

Frederick, Md (KM) The Frederick County Board of Elections is reminding citizens to make sure they are registered to vote.  Election Director Barbara Wagner says residents can sign up by going on line, coming out to the local Elections Office and signing up; or they can request an application be mailed to their homes. Citizens can also register through the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration and the Department of Social Services.

Wagner says her  staff has been out at various events, getting people registered to vote. “Like at last weekend, people are out at the Fair helping people register to vote. We were out at In the Streets helping tons of people register to vote and giving them information on the upcoming presidential election. So people are getting that information through all kinds of ways,” she says.

The advance deadline to register is October 15th. But Wagner says citizens can still sign up to vote during early voting and on election day. “We still do have people that come in on one of the early voting days, or on election day to register at one of our sites,” she says. “It’s not that many because we do have so many accessible ways.”

Early voting takes place from Thursday, October 24th through Thursday, October 31st. Wagner says early voting sites will be at the Prospect Center, Thurmont, Urbana and Middletown. General election day is Tuesday, November 5th. The polls will be open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM each day.

Even if you are registered to vote, and haven’t changed your address or party affiliation in years, Wagner says it’s still a good idea to make sure all of your information is up to date. “If you have moved, you want to make sure your address has changed. If you’ve changed your name for any reason, you want to make sure  your name has changed. And if you decide to change your party affiliation, we can accommodate those too. But you would always want to check to make sure that information is correct,” Wagner says.

Wagner says mail-in ballots will be going out very soon. “Overseas ballots will be going out on Saturday, the 21st of September. And then on 23rd, we will have our domestic ballots going out,” she says.

Starting this week, Wagner says drop boxes will be set up  at ten locations around Frederick County. They will be ready to accept ballots starting on Monday, September 23rd. “So we’ll have the cameras, we’ll have monitoring capabilities all ready to go by Monday, September 23rd. So anybody who wants to vote early and get it in the drop box, is able to do so.,” she says.

Wagner says 56 locations will be set up on Tuesday, November 5th for citizens who want to vote in person on election day.

It involves blackmail on the part of the scammer.

Pikesville, Md (KM) An internet scam involving G-Mail accounts is currently active in Maryland.

The State Police Financial Crimes Unit says it has received reports of scammers sending e-mails to potential victims with photographs of their homes which were obtained from Google Maps. The scammer attempts to blackmail the victim by saying they have been viewing pornography, or the scammer has some personal information that can be used against them. The victims are often told to send money via Bitcoin, or the scammer will release the information.

State Police are urging residents to be careful with links and websites. They say don’t click on websites or links that you don’t trust. Malicious websites can look like legitimate ones, but there are some slight variations in spellings and logos.

Authorities also say don’t share any personal or financial information on line unless you’re sure the site is secure.

Also, don’t let a scammer rush you into making a quick decision. Stop, breathe and ask.  State Police say some scammers will rush their potential victims by pushing a lot of emotional buttons to get them  to stop thinking rationally.

If you feel you have been the victim of a scam, contact your local law enforcement, or the nearest State Police Barrack.

It’s Frederick County top transportation priority.

Larry Hogan, GOP US Senate Candidate.

Frederick, Md (KM) When Maryland Department of Transportation officials visit Frederick on October 16th, local elected officials are expected to press them  for funding to widen US Route 15. It’s the number-one transportation project in Frederick County, , and it had been part of the state’s Consolidated Transportation Plan.

Currently, there is funding for planning and engineering, but not in future years for construction.

During a visit last weekend to Frederick for the “In the Street” festival, Republican Senatorial Candidate Larry Hogan wondered what happened. “We had a surplus of $5.5 billion when I left office last January. The Transportation Trust Fund was also flush with cash. Now they’re both completely broke. They’ve spent all the money,” he said,.

Hogan Served  as Governor from 2015 to 2023.

He said construction on US Route 15 was ready to go under his administration. “No only the widening of 15—which we pushed and led up to the point it was ready to get done—but they’re canceling every single important transportation project in the state, and it’s a disaster,” he said.

But Hogan acknowledged he is no longer governor, and won’t have as much impact on transportation funding as when he was Maryland’s Chief Executive. “I don’t have the power to do it anymore. I’m not the governor. But I can tell the state needs to get its act together because you can’t kill all these important road projects,” he said.

On another topic, Hogan also talked about protecting Social Security and Medicare. “We’re going to fight to make sure we protect Medicare and Social Security,” he said. “But I also fought for eight years, and finally last year passed the Retirement Tax Elimination Act which the Legislature slowed down to make it phased in over five years. But in five years, nobody will be paying any Maryland Taxes on any of their retirement income, including on Social Security which we’re currently taxing,” he said.

Hogan is facing Democrat Angela Alsobrooks in the General Election this fall.

It’s taking place on September 22, 2024 at Thurmont Community Park

FREDERICK, MD. (LG)   A fall rabies clinic is being held at Thurmont Community Park, on September 22, 2024, from 11:30 am until 2:00 p.m.  

The Frederick County Health Department encourages pet owners to bring their dogs, cats and ferrets.  “So, the rabies vaccine protects against the rabies virus. We don’t care if you come to our clinic, if you go to any of the other clinics, or a private Vet. What we really care about is making sure that if your pet has an encounter with an infected wild animal, that they are protected against the virus, and the rabies vaccine does just that”, said Alicia Evangelista, Program Director of the Environmental Health Community Services.

To date Frederick County has 30 confirmed rabid animals in 2024.  “Why are our numbers so high? We attribute that to education of our folks here in Frederick County. Our farmers know what they are looking for. We are the only county in the State of Maryland that has animal control like we do, and if there are questions or concerns people call them, and they help these folks out.  And if we need to ship for rabies testing, they are helping to make that decision.”

Not only can wildlife be infected with rabies, but also dogs, cats, cows and bats.
