		<description><![CDATA[Donald Harmer, a local liquor store owner and longtime leader of the county’s Parks and Recreation board, has filed to run for Cecil County Council in District 5, challenging incumbent Jackie Gregory, a frequent critic of county spending for parks and recreation programs. Both are candidates in the 2020 Republican primary. Harmer, chairman of the citizen-led parks board for four years and a member of the panel for nine years, has also been a member of the county’s Planning Commission for the past several years. He is the managing partner in ownership of Weaver’s Liquors in Elkton and for many years has been active in various civic and youth groups. He has also been chairman, for the past four years, of the Maryland Strategic Framework for Cecil County, a panel that addresses and seeks solutions to drug and alcohol dependency issues as part of the county’s “Drug-Free Cecil” program. Harmer came to the parks panel after years of involvement in youth sports activities, including two decades as a coach with local soccer programs, and 15 years as assistant athletic director for the Tome School. He and his wife, Annette—a registered nurse with Christiana Care and a graduate of the Cecil [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The White House has awarded $125,000 to Cecil County for programs aimed at preventing drug abuse, especially among youths. But more than half of the annual grant will go to pay salary and benefits for a co-coordinator of a newly-created “Cecil County Drug-Free Communities Coalition.” The grant comes from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and is designed to promote community-based projects to prevent drug abuse. The initial one-year grant is expected to be renewed annually for five years, for a total of $625,000, according to Ken Collins, a local health department official and the special advisor on drug policy to County Executive Tari Moore. While the grant proposal outlined seven broad areas for which the funds would be spent—including drug prevention and awareness training for parents and educators, “engaging new community members” and “developing and implementing a social norms campaign”—over half of the money will go to pay the salary and benefits of a co-coordinator who will be hired to administer the grant. Collins said the grant proposal provided a $50,000 annual salary plus $14,000 for the new program coordinator’s benefits. While the federal grant money goes directly to the Cecil County government, the funds are [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore has awarded nearly $400,000 in grants, derived from a local “impact” share of county revenues obtained from the Hollywood casino in Perryville, to a wide array of fire companies, veterans’ groups, social service and charities countywide. As overall revenues from the local casino continue to plummet—due to new competition primarily from the Arundel Live casino—the available local share of grant funds is expected to continue to decline in future years. In the past, the local “impact” grants were doled out by the County Commissioners and initially were restricted to western areas of the county closest to the casino. But a year ago, the commissioners opened up the grant process countywide. And this year, under the new Charter government, the County Executive had full authority to decide who got how much money. Most of Moore’s selections for grants were well-established community organizations and public safety operations, although a few raise questions about their rationale. Some recipients are locally based and some groups operate countywide. But despite the countywide eligibility of individual grant applicants, the new list includes only one group based in southern Cecil County. The largest grant&#8211; $50,000—went to the Town of Port Deposit to [&#8230;]]]></description>
