		<description><![CDATA[Former Commissioners’ 2002 Move Paves Way for Extra Revenues to County Now Who needs a fading casino when a little-known small power plant near the Pennsylvania state line has been a goldmine of revenues to Cecil County— providing a total of $54.2 million over 20 years? And what could be better than a new expansion of that facility that will bring in a proposed additional $40.7 million? Some members of the government establishment in Elkton were falling all over themselves recently to try to claim credit for a proposed new expansion of the Rock Springs power plant facility. But if a majority of the old three-member Board of Commissioners had not put the wheels in motion in 2002, there wouldn’t be any cause for political crowing now—and taxpayers’ might have had to foot a much larger burden for basic county government services for the past ten years. It was in 2002 when a two-member majority—Commissioners Nelson Bolender and Harry Hepbron—agreed to support construction of the Rock Springs power plant, located off Route 222 near the state line.

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County’s heroes of the storm told the County Commissioners Tuesday of their long hours to clear roads, assist power companies and help individual citizens trapped by Friday night’s sudden, severe thunderstorm and winds that left downed trees, power outages and damage through a wide swathe of southern Cecil County. And County Health Officer Stephanie Garrity defended the county’s policy of not opening up designated “cooling stations” to residents sweltering in the weekend heat without power and air conditioning. She cited a John Hopkins University study that found heat-related deaths in the state were usually caused by complicating factors, such as age, alcohol use and other health conditions such as heart disease. Richard Brooks, the county’s director of Emergency Services, related that the county had no advance warnings of the storm threat from the National Weather Service but by late Friday evening state emergency officials sounded an alarm, followed by increasingly ominous watches and warnings. He said of particular concern was the presence of about 150 boats in the basin area at Chesapeake City, who had arrived in advance of the Saturday Canal Fest event. Emergency officials “went boat to boat,” beginning at about 11 p.m., to warn of the [&#8230;]]]></description>
