		<description><![CDATA[An Appreciation In the tumultuous and often nasty world of recent Cecil County politics, there has always been one shining light, a beacon of fairness, impartiality and calm in the eye of the local political storm&#8211; Evelyn Potter, the director of the Cecil County Board of Elections for more than two decades. But it was the end of an era Friday as she officially retired from her post. As she packed up country-themed wooden wall signs and decorative artifacts from her office at the Cecil County administration building in Elkton, Potter sat down with Cecil Times to reflect on her past, her future and the political landscape of the county she has seen first-hand. There were some tears, laughter, and reminiscences as she reflected on her long career ensuring that local elections were conducted fairly, efficiently and with customer service always in mind. “I’m going to miss it,” she said, wiping some tears from her eyes.
