(MT. AIRY, MD) – A Carroll County man is in Maryland State Police custody and will be charged in connection with the murder of his father that occurred this afternoon at the home the two shared.

The victim is identified as Michael J. Pine, 63, of the 700-block of Bridlewreath Way, Mt. Airy, Md. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His body will be taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death

The suspect is identified as Joseph W. Pine, 31, the son of the victim, who lived with him at the same address.

After consultation with the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office, State Police homicide investigators will be obtaining charging documents for the suspect tonight for the crimes of first and second degree murder. Additional charges are possible, pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation.

Joseph Pine has been taken to the Carroll Hospital Center in Westminster for medical and psychological evaluations. Charges will be served on him either late tonight or tomorrow, depending on the disposition at the hospital. He will remain under State Police guard until he is charged, when his custody will be turned over to Carroll County Detention Center deputies.

Shortly before 3:00 p.m. today, Maryland State Police at the Westminster Barrack received a 911 call from a neighbor reporting a disturbance between the victim and suspect outside their residence. A state trooper assigned to the Mt. Airy Resident Trooper Program responded and arrived at the Pine residence minutes later.

As he arrived, the trooper observed a man, later identified as the suspect, standing outside his home. Joseph Pine surrendered peacefully to the trooper and was immediately taken into custody.

Backup troopers and deputies from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene. Troopers observed the victim, later identified as Michael Pine, lying on the front porch of the residence next door. He had sustained obvious trauma to his upper torso. Emergency medical personnel who responded determined the victim was deceased.

The scene was secured by uniform troopers and investigators from the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit responded to conduct the investigation, with assistance from State Police investigators from the Criminal Enforcement Division. Crime scene technicians from the State Police Forensic Sciences Division responded and will be processing the scene.

State Police investigators applied for and obtained a search warrant for the crime scene. Investigators and crime scene technicians will be processing the scene for evidence throughout the night, pursuant to the search warrant. No information is available at this time regarding the recovery of the weapon or weapons used in the crime.

The preliminary investigation indicates some type of altercation occurred between the victim and suspect inside their home. Evidence indicates the suspect assaulted the victim, possibly with one or more knives. The victim ran outside his home, pursued by the suspect, and was found next door.

No police record of calls at the home involving any type of domestic problems has been found. Investigators believe the father and son lived together in the residence. No one else lived there and no one else was in the home when the altercation occurred today.

The investigation is continuing.

Helt retains seat, Everich and King added to Mount Airy council

Helt retains seat, Everich and King added to Mount Airy council

Mount Airy residents reaffirmed one sitting Town Council member to new term, added one previous member to return to the group, and also added a new face to the council in the town's May 7 election.

In the process, voters filled a seat vacated by a member who declined to run, and ousted a 24-year veteran of the council.

Three seats on the five-member council were up for grabs. The top vote-getter was incumbent Council President Peter Helt, who garnered 645 votes... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-mount-airy-elect-0513-20120510,0,3770997.story

Want2Dish - DONNAMARIE NEEDLE: Mount Airy Councilwoman Wendi Peters decides to not run for re-election

Want2Dish - People - Local Government (including services such as fire / ems / police) - COUNCILWOMAN PETERS SURPRISES RESIDENTS: "FEBRUARY 23, 20122 DAYS, 14 HOURS AGO MOJO: DONNAMARIE NEEDLE"

Mount Airy town council members, the mayor, commission members, residents and five candidates all gathered at Town Hall on Monday, Feb. 13, for the bi-annual Board of Elections nominations meeting.

Councilwoman Wendi Peters, whose term would soon end, stood in the back of the room. As nominations were announced, one couldn't help but notice the puzzled and questioning looks on many faces; by the end of the process, a nomination had not been made for Councilwoman Peters.

As a wave of shock overtook the crowd, Peters seemed content with her decision. “It was after prayerful consideration and discussion with my family that I decided not to seek re-election,” said Peters...

Final Frederick County comprehensive plan hearing draws large crowd – Frederick News-Post

Final county land-use public hearing before commissioners debate draws largest turnout February 01, 2012 By Pete McCarthy News-Post Staff

http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display_comments.htm?StoryID=131242#postComments

Frederick County saved the biggest group for last Tuesday night, with more than 40 lawyers and residents speaking at a public hearing about the county's proposed comprehensive plan and zoning review.

The public hearing regarding the New Market region was the last scheduled meeting before the Board of County Commissioners begins its review of individual requests for planning and zoning changes. Written comments will continue to be accepted throughout the process.

There are 42 applications up for consideration in the region that includes Mount Airy, New Market and Lake Linganore. If approved, it could lead to the construction of hundreds of homes on 3,600 acres.

"We are concerned with any properties within a mile of our borders," Mount Airy Mayor Patrick Rockinberg said. "Rezoning these properties would be inconsistent with the will of the people."

Building on properties near the town would lead to housing growth that negatively affects roads, schools and the general standard of living, he said.

"(Our residents) came to escape growth," Rockinberg said. "The citizens did not move to Mount Airy for more growth, they moved away from it."

More than a dozen residents stood when resident Sarah Dorrance spoke against the Wimmer property -- an 86-acre property along Sidney Road.

She questioned the motive of the commissioners to revisit the last comprehensive plan a year after it was approved. The plan adopted in 2010 was designed to set planning and zoning guidelines for the county. In most cases, properties went from being zoned for residential or commercial growth to agricultural.

"I'm not happy with the procedure," Dorrance said. "I think it's a waste of taxpayers' money." … http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display_comments.htm?StoryID=131242#postComments

As You Like It Richard III by Kevin Dayhoff in The Tentacle

As You Like It Richard III

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4581

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Now is the winter of our discontent… On the morning of August 22, in 1485, a defining moment in English history took place with the death of King Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth Field.

Of course, this has little to do with central-Maryland or local, state or national politics – or does it? The crushing tedium of the current state of affairs of our nation’s political discourse, the seemingly endless foreign wars and the intractable national and global economic malaise is enough to cause my bud of calm to blossom into hysteria. I almost wrote a column on the history of nylons.

As our nation currently attempts to extricate itself from an economic, social and political tar pit and wallows around like a bellowing mastodon, the Shakespearian melodrama and theatricality of Obama I is reminiscent of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac.

Or The Tragedy of Richard the Third: with the Landing of Earle Richmond, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, by William Shakespeare.

The death of Richard III – “the last English king to die at the head of an army… established the Tudor dynasty and the modern state,” according to anarticle in the Guardian by Martin Wainwright.

The skirmishes over the historic significance of the battle in Leicestershire County, in the center of England, which effectively ended the 30-year, English civil war between the houses of York and Lancaster, the Wars of the Roses, and the end of the Middle Ages, has raged ever since.

However, not in doubt is the fact that the battle ended the House of Plantagenet line of 15 kings that ruled England from 1154, when it took over from the House of Normandy, until 1485.

After the death of Richard III, King Henry VII seized the throne and became the first English monarch of the House of Tudor, which lasted until 1603....

Mayor Rockinberg-- Doesn't Have a Clue

--On Economic Development, Our Commercial Tax Base and Living Where You Work..

Perhaps it's time for a new survey?

It appears we have a Mayor who really isn’t getting the big picture of why economic development is so important for Mount Airy. At February 23rd's special meeting of the Economic Development Commission and the Town Council, the Mayor said>>

“I don't see a huge push or need for Economic Development beyond what we already have, we already have a good mix.”

There in lies the problem.

The philosophy of the Mayor, 2 councilman (Pyatt and Strong) and the entire Planning and Zoning Board towards the “greedy developers” is ‘go away.’ The Mayor also said>>

“We need economic development and the business here more as a convenience.”

He went on to say... http://mountairyblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/mayor-rockinberg-doesnt-have-clue.html

MOJO: DONNAMARIE NEEDLE

On Monday, Dec. 6, the Mt. Airy Town Council will render its decision on the controversial I-70 annexation request.

Mt. Airy is no stranger to annexation controversy. However, this time it appears the tables are turned. For the most part, those who have always fought against annexation, support the I-70 annexation. Those who have been proponents of annexations in the past are extremely skeptical and are still waiting for answers to their concerns.

According to the Carroll County Times, the rezoning of a 600-acre area south of I-70 for business and industrial purposes was part of a draft comprehensive plan also known as Pathways to Carroll’s Future Landscape... http://frederick.want2dish.com/articles/318/stir_it_up/editorial/2010/12/02/the_right_plan_for_the_future_or_a_knee_jerk_reaction

The Mount Airy Blog: Always a Few “Whining Winners”

Always a Few “Whining Winners”

......To Sour The Thrill of Victory...

http://mountairyblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/always-few-whining-winners.html#comments

I would like to take this opportunity to send a big congratulations out to Mayor-elect Pat Rockinberg as well as David Blais and Scott Strong for winning the two Town Council seats on May 3.

The Mayoral race was very close. With that, I hope Mayor-elect Rockinberg will recognize he does not have a mandate. He must embrace all the voters, including the 47% who voted for Wendi Peters. I know these three men will work diligently along with fellow council members Peter Helt, Dave Pyatt and Wendi Peters to bring back the stability and continuity that's been missing over the past several years.

STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION TO IMPROVE MD 27 IN CARROLL COUNTY

The State Highway Administration released the following:

STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION TO IMPROVE MD 27 IN CARROLL COUNTY
Additional Northbound MD 27 Lane and Intersection Improvements to Improve Safety and Traffic Flow

(May 7, 2010) – The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) is beginning a $2.4 million project to enhance MD 27 (Ridge Road) in Mt. Airy, Carroll County. SHA will also improve access to the existing 125 space ridesharing lot on MD 27 north of I-70. SHA anticipates completing the project in spring 2011, weather permitting.

In addition to the intersection improvements, SHA will extend the two through lane section of northbound MD 27 from Ridge Avenue to north of the Twin Arch Road/Park Avenue intersection.

MD 27 intersection at Twin Arch Road/Park Avenue:
• New dedicated right-turn lane from northbound MD 27 to Twin Arch Road;

MD 27 at Center Street:
• New dedicated left-turn lanes on northbound and southbound lanes of MD 27;

MD 27 ridesharing lot north of I-70:
• New dedicated right-turn lanes at entrance and exit of ridesharing lot;
• New dedicated left-turn lane on northbound MD 27 at ridesharing lot entrance;
• SHA will also extend the dedicated right-turn lane/acceleration lane from the ridesharing lot to Ridge Avenue;

SHA will resurface almost two miles of MD 27 between Ridge Avenue and north of Center Street to facilitate the intersection improvements. SHA will also construct ADA compliant sidewalk ramps at the Center Street and Twin Arch/Park Avenue intersections.

Motorists on MD 27 should expect single-lane closures Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. and on Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and midnight to 5 a.m. Variable message signs, barrels, and temporary signs will guide motorists through the work zone. More than 18,000 vehicles travel along this section of MD 27 each day; motorists should expect delays.

SHA awarded the contract to F. O. Day Inc. of Rockville.

SHA encourages motorists to stay alert in work zones and slow down. Citizens who have questions about traffic operations along MD 27, or other State numbered routes in Carroll County may call SHA’s District 7 Office at 301-624-8100 or toll free at 1-800-635-5119.

Remember that work zones are not only large construction projects possibly taking years to complete, but smaller, mobile operations such as mowing, pothole repair and litter pick ups. Choose to make work zone safety your business at www.choosesafetyforlife.com.

Growth Supported by Mayoral Candidate Pat Rockinberg Will Not Pay For Itself

Contributed by John Medve, Mount Airy Resident

Pat Rockinberg supports a 600 Acre Expansion of Mount Airy adding 200 houses, roads that need 500k in improvements, lifestyles that don't conform to Town code, and failing septic systems that could be the Town's responsibility down the line. His opponent, Wendi Peters, is not in favor of this annexation, however on the campaign trail, Mr. Rockinberg continues to call his opponent "big growth" and a proponent of raising taxes.
