		<description><![CDATA[There were tears and laughter—much, much laughter—as Cecil County residents gathered on Tuesday to say farewell to Nelson Bolender and celebrate the life and legacy of the county’s premiere educator and government leader. Bolender, the former principal of North East and Elkton high schools and the two-term president of the Cecil County Board of Commissioners, was laid to rest on 2/19/13 after an overflow crowd attended his funeral services at the Elkton United Methodist church. Current and former county government officials, teachers and citizens all joined together with Bolender’s family to honor his memory. Bolender died suddenly last Thursday, 2/14/13. An honor guard of Cecil County Sheriff’s Department deputies flanked the entry to the church sanctuary, and Sheriff Barry Janney—often choking back tears—spoke in Bolender’s honor. “Nelson did more for public safety,” Janney said, “than anyone in history” in Cecil County. On Bolender’s watch as president of the Commissioners board, the county bolstered the law enforcement officers pension program, which until that time had never had a retiree because the benefits were so low. Bolender and his Commissioner board ally, Harry Hepbron, pushed through a major upgrade of the pension system and celebrated the first-ever retiree from the county Sheriff’s [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The long-stalled sale of most Cecil County water and sewage treatment plants to the private Artesian firm has received staff recommendations to the state Public Service Commission to approve the sale. The sale, originally approved by the Cecil County commissioners nearly three years ago, was blocked by litigation initiated by the Appleton Regional Community Alliance (ARCA), an anti-growth group based in the northeastern area of the county adjacent to the Delaware state line. However, the state’s highest court, the Maryland Court of Appeals, ruled recently in favor of the county to permit the sale. [See previous Cecil Times report here: https://ceciltimes.com/2011/06/court-of-appeals-rules-cecil-county-can-sell-watersewer-plants-to-artesian-court-orders-arca-to-pay-some-county-legal-fees/ But there is still another hurdle for the proposed sale. It must be approved by the state Public Service Commission. That panel is scheduled to hold a hearing on the issue on Wednesday in Baltimore. [UPDATE: A last-minute bid by some county commissioners to delay PSC action was filed in a letter from Del. Michael Smigiel (R-36) to the state panel. In addition, a majority of the commissioners decided Tuesday to fire their long-time attorney, Lawrence Haislip, from representing the county in the sale to Artesian, according to Artesian officials who were notified on Tuesday.] [UPDATE: In a brief [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The developer of the Elkton Senior Housing project asked the Cecil County Commissioners on Tuesday to become a co-owner of a proposed profit-making apartment project in North East in order to get state subsidies for low-income housing and a new home for the Boys and Girls Club of North East. The project, called “New East Crossing,” is proposed by the Ingerman Group, of Cherry Hill, N.J., which also developed the Elkton apartments for the elderly that opened recently. David Holden, the developer’s representative, told the County Commissioners that the project needed the county as a co-owner in order to get state Rental Housing Partnership money. He said the county’s only financial contribution would be to waive permit fees and that any future liability would be covered by insurance. He said there was the possibility that the county might get a share of profits from the project in the future. The county would be given a 20 percent share in the ownership group. The project would be located on Razor Strap road, off Route 40 in North East. A site plan sketch submitted to the commissioners did not identify the parcels included in the more than 9 acre project. Holden said [&#8230;]]]></description>
