		<description><![CDATA[[WITH VIDEO] Two newly-elected members of the Cecil County Council took their oath of office on Monday (12/3/2018), marking a transition to a new generation of senior officials under Charter government, and a new roster of members on the county’s school board and Orphans’ Court. A highlight of the inaugural events was an impassioned speech by Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy (R), who appealed for a return to civility in government at all levels, and condemned &#8220;animosity, contempt for others and a lack of respect for the rule of law.&#8221; The new County Council members are Bill Coutz (R-2) and Al Miller (R-3). Coutz replaces former County Council President Joyce Bowlsbey, who retired and did not seek re-election. He soundly defeated opponents in both the Republican primary and November general election. Miller defeated incumbent Council member Dan Schneckenburger in the GOP primary and was unopposed in the general election. Coutz thanked his family and supporters and pledged to “work tirelessly” for the good of the county and said “my goals are aligned with yours.” Miller said he was “humbled” by the support he had received from local citizens and thanked members of “Team Miller” for their faith in him.

		<description><![CDATA[In one of the few contested races on the November general election ballot in Cecil County, voters returned Carolyn Crouch to the Orphans Court, where she has served for 12 years, and filled two other seats with new judges. There were four candidates—three Republicans and one Democrat—seeking three available seats on the court. Crouch, who formerly served with the North East Chamber of Commerce and the county’s homeless shelter for men, is the chief judge of the Orphans Court, which handles probate of wills and settles disputes over estates. She was the top vote-getter, with 27.3 percent of votes cast. Members of the panel are paid $8,750 a year. William (Bill) Harris won a seat on the court after spending many years involved in Republican party politics, serving on the GOP Central Committee and as chairman of Governor Hogan’s campaign in Cecil County four years ago. He was rewarded with a job at the state’s Human Resources Administration, after previously serving as chief of staff to state Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35A). Harris worked in patient bill collections at Union Hospital for many years and is also an ordained minister. After so many years involved in partisan politics, he will face [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<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.
