		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report In the 2014 elections for Cecil County Sheriff—always one of the most hotly contested races in local politics—there is a new watchword among the leading candidates in the June Republican primary: “team.” While past election campaigns have focused on the individual candidate for Sheriff, this year the focus is on the ‘team’ of senior officials who would run the law enforcement agency if a particular candidate were elected. In lengthy interviews with Cecil Times, candidates Scott Adams and Chris Sutton outlined their own and team members’ credentials, policing philosophies, and plans for Cecil County’s prime law enforcement agency. In two articles, their views will be explored—with Adams going first after a coin toss determined the order of interview publication. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; “TEAM ADAMS”—Campaign Motto: “Leadership, Community, Safety” SCOTT ADAMS, Sheriff: B.S. degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology, Towson University; Sergeant and supervisor of Sheriff’s School Resources unit; former K9 officer, road patrol, investigator, instructor; named 2009 Maryland State Deputy of the Year by Maryland Sheriff’s Association.

		<description><![CDATA[Several hotly contested races are shaping up, especially in the June Republican primary, for Cecil County offices and state legislative seats as the clock ran down for individual candidates to file for office Tuesday evening. A fight between a splinter “liberty” group and other Republicans is brewing in one Council contest and for control of the county’s GOP Central Committee—while four local candidates are seeking one Cecil County Delegate seat in District 36. There were some last minute surprises, including the filing on Monday by Cecil County Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1) for the state District 36 seat now held by Del. Michael Smigiel, a Republican. Smigiel had failed to receive the appointment to the state Senate seat vacated last summer by E.J. Pipkin and initially vowed to run in the 2014 election for the Senate slot. But in recent months he had not repeated that vow and instead on 2/21/14 filed, as many had expected, for re-election to the House of Delegates. McCarthy, who is a licensed veterinarian and businessman who lives in Chesapeake City, was elected to the County Council in 2012 after soundly defeating incumbent James Mullin, who was an ally of the “Smipkin” political organization led by [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Mapmaker, mapmaker, make me a map…” (With apologies to ‘Fiddler on the Roof’) Caroline County residents thought they had a golden opportunity to have their own “resident” Delegate in the General Assembly, after a nearly 20-year hiatus, with revised district line maps that expand the county’s voting share in the four-county 36th legislative district. But now their hopes have been dashed by the same boundary maps and rules for filling a vacant Delegate seat. “We got screwed by the maps,” said one frustrated Caroline County Republican. “We thought the new maps would help us, but now we find we have to go by the old maps for now.” At issue is the fact that the new boundary lines do not officially take effect until after the 2014 election. So that means a candidate for appointment to the seat vacated officially this week by Del. Steve Hershey, of Queen Anne’s County, must be a resident of the district &#8212; which includes Cecil County&#8211; as its boundaries are now drawn. Leading Caroline County Republicans had united behind the candidacy of Jeff Ghrist, a member of the Caroline County Board of Commissioners. But, as it turns out, Ghrist lives in the newly expanded [&#8230;]]]></description>
