		<description><![CDATA[Making a strong comeback, Allyn “Lyn” Price Nickle won a commanding victory in the hotly contested race for Register of Wills, unseating Michael W. Dawson who had scored an upset victory over Nickle four years ago. This year’s fight was on different political turf: Nickle ran as a Democrat last time but switched her party affiliation to GOP for the 2018 elections. Dawson ran for a state Delegate seat several years ago on the Constitution Party ticket but changed his party affiliation to Republican when he ran for Register of Wills four years ago. There is no Democrat competing for the post this year, so the winner is determined in the Republican primary. With all but two precincts tallied, Nickle “registered” 66 percent of the vote in the primary, while Dawson received 34 percent. There were 198 Republican absentee ballots sent out by the local Board of Elections and they will be counted on June 28 and July 6. In addition, a computer glitch involving voters who changed their party affiliation or home address using kiosks or services at state Motor Vehicles Administration offices will likely increase the number of provisional ballots that will not be counted until July 5.

		<description><![CDATA[There were some tough questions when rival candidates in the June Republican primary for Cecil County State’s Attorney and the Register of Wills office squared off in a candidates’ forum sponsored by the Republican Club of Cecil County last week, putting some candidates on the defensive hot seat. In contrast, a panel of three candidates vying for a seat on the county’s Circuit Court was uncharacteristically mellow, given one candidate’s past record of attack-dog campaigns. Members of the audience at the event, held at the VFW hall in Chesapeake City, submitted written questions to the moderator, James Dubuque, vice president of the club, who then picked questions to pose to the candidates. STATE’S ATTORNEY: In the race for the open State’s Attorney seat, all three candidates currently work in the prosecutor’s office: Amanda Bessicks, a four-year veteran of the office who currently specializes in prosecuting cases involving crimes against children and domestic violence; Karl Fockler, deputy State’s Attorney since last year and a more than ten-year veteran of the office; and Kevin Urick, a prosecutor with over 12 years’ experience in Cecil County and previously a Baltimore City prosecutor for over 15 years. In opening statements, Bessicks said she would [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a difference two years—and an election—make. When Cecil County’s switch from a Board of Commissioners form of government to a new Charter system&#8211; with an independently elected County Executive and a five-member County Council&#8211; was launched in 2012, the transition was marked by rancor and a boycott of the inauguration by the county’s state legislative delegation and two sitting Commissioner/County Council members. But on Monday 12/1/14, the choices of voters in the November general elections were sworn into office for three County Council seats, a new Sheriff, and new office-holders for Register of Wills and two of three seats on the Orphan’s Court. And there was nary a negative word to be heard, as new and old county officials pledged to “work together” for the good of Cecil County and its citizens. Sworn into office on Monday, at a packed ceremony with several hundred onlookers at the new Upper Chesapeake Ballroom at the North East fire company hall, were three Cecil County Council members: Joyce Bowlsbey (R-2), who served two years as an appointee but won election in her own right in November; and political newcomers Dan Schneckenburger (R-3) and George Patchell (R-4).
