		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1) on Tuesday proposed a draft bill to limit discharge of firearms in close proximity to homes as a way to prevent tragic but unintended consequences of shooting guns into the air in so-called “celebratory” firings—in response to the death several months ago of a child in Cecil County. McCarthy said he was not formally introducing the measure as a binding resolution at this point, but wanted to stimulate a discussion about how to protect children and innocent bystanders from stray bullets while still respecting the rights of hunters, target shooters and gun owners who want to be able to protect their home and family. “There is unnecessary, reckless discharge of weapons,” McCarthy said, especially on holidays such as the Fourth of July, that place innocent neighbors at risk of being hit by stray bullets. “What goes up must come down,” he said. A ten-year-old Pennsylvania girl, Aaliyah Destiny Boyer, died after she was shot in the head while in the yard of her grandparents’ Elk Neck home—the victim of what police called “celebratory” gunfire on New Year’s Eve that sent a stray bullet into the yard and struck the child as she and her [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What would you get if you put a bridge on Weight Watchers? A skinny bridge on Old Elk Neck, designed by Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4) to limit area development potential, even though such a new bridge would be “functionally obsolete,” according to county engineers. It was yet another do-over day Tuesday afternoon for the county commish, as they argued for about two hours, yet again, over county bridge priorities and re-visiting decisions that commissioners already made in the past, at the instigation of Broomell. And it was the latest installment in the not-ready-for-primetime unreality show, “The Bridges of Cecil County,” that has been playing on the County Commissioners channel in Elkton for much of the year. [SEE Cecil Times Special Report here: https://ceciltimes.com/2012/08/the-bridges-of-cecil-county-deja-vu-do-overs/ The commissioners voted a few weeks ago to proceed with replacement of the Old Elk Neck bridge, which washed out in a storm many years ago, but deferred action on recommended safety and grading improvements on nearby roads and intersections. But Broomell was back at the drawing board again, this time saying that the engineering work already completed for a two lane bridge should be changed to make it narrower. At one point she suggested a one [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News Analysis If you were going to write a Cecil County version of the saccharine popular romantic novel, “The Bridges of Madison County,” it would be more like a rather tedious historical novel, full of the same places and the same characters, doing and saying the same things over and over but at least one character thinking the ending might somehow change. Just when you thought you had finally heard the last of the decades-old saga of the long defunct Mill Lane bridge in Earleville, Cecil County Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4) declared Tuesday that she wants to consider its resurrection from the collapsed concrete. (No matter that previous commissioners and state and federal officials nixed a costly bridge rebuild years ago and Broomell herself voted a few weeks ago to proceed with steps to remove the last bridge debris and remove Mill Lane from the county’s bridge list forever.) And just when you thought the commissioners, including Broomell, had finally made a decision a few weeks ago to replace the fallen Old Elk Neck bridge but not do anything for now about safety issues on approach roads, suddenly Broomell wants to re-visit the issue. That’s despite the fact that it [&#8230;]]]></description>
